Our fellow-townsman and secretary

cipient of a nocturnal visit , Saturday ,
from Mr. Mayberry , the nominee of the
independent party for secretary of state.
While not unexpected , the notice of
contest served by the visitor on Mr. Al

nor does the act indicate a dangerous
amount of delicacy abiding with Mr.
Mayberry.
McCook is becoming noted for her
pop corn stands , of which she has four
in number. Some time ago a "dago"
made his appearance in the city and
started the pop corn business , and , as
he seemed to be coining money , many
others embarked in the business. The
people are now tired of pop corn and
the venders are compelled to depend
upon the country for support. People
from the country , passing up Main
Avenue , are in immediate danger of
being snatched bald-headed if they don't
buy a bag of corn.
& EASTERDAY.
Monday afternoon , ' the department
was called to the northeastern part of
the city by the burning of the coal house
on the Gaston property. The fire was
probably caused by hot anhes being
placed too close to the building , which
was entirely destroyed before water was
thrown by the department. While on
the way to the fire a collision occurred
at the intersection of Dakota and Mad
ison , between hose cart No. ,1 and the
hook and ladder wagon , each drawn by
double teams at full speed , but fortun
ately no one was seriously injured and
the damage was slight , a broken pole
and fifth wheel covering that. A mis
fit connection caused some delay at the
fire plug. This emphasizes the import
ance of uniformity of connections.

THE CHARITY BALL AND BANQUET.
The Splendid Success Highly Gratifying
to all Persons Interested.
It affords THE TRIBUNE.distinct and
largo pleasure to record the highly grat
ifying , royal success which conspicu
ously attended the zealous , well direct
ed efforts of ( he ladies of the Benevo
lent Society in their charity ball and
supper on Thanksgiving eve. It is safe
to state that MoCook's fair social his
tory does not contain a brighter page
does not produce a leaf picturingresults
more desirable and felicitous , or object
more laudable and worthy , than charac
terized this charming affair , which has
realized every fond and reasonable an
ticipation , won golden opinions on all
hands , and produced a gladsome fruition
which will bring joy to many a needy ,
deserving heart.
The attendance was large ; the people
were there ; and when the ball opened
with the stately and graceful maneuv
ers of the grand march , the beholder
gazed with admiration upon one of the
most brilliant scenes ever enacted in
Western Nebraska ; and the spirit of
the auspicious inauguration pervaded
the occasion until the closing hours ,
which suggested the rapid approach of
the Day of Thanksgiving.
The supper was spread with gener
ous hands in the Morlan building , and
from the early opening hours the public
accorded this feature a liberal patron
age , which , moreover , the splendid
repast served so tastefully and atten
tively , richly merited , and which the
people gaveabundancevidnnceof appre
ciating fully.
As about everything was donated , the
expenses were nominal , and the Benev
olent Society now has in its treasury a
sum of money which is a credit to the
liberality of our people , and complimen
tary to the energy of the society. The
outcome is a proper source of general
congratulation.
DEATH OF JUDGE BUCK.
The many friends and acquaintances
of the deceased and family will be
deeply pained to learn of the death of
Judge Royal Buck , which occurred on
Friday last at his late home near
Branchville , Md. ; after a lingering Jill-
ness. Judge Buck was one of Red
Willow county's pioneer settlers , mov
ing to Red Willow from Nebraska City
early in the seventies. As president of
the Republican Valley Land Co. he
was largely instrumental in the settle
ment of the upper valley , tie was for
many years an honored and respected
citizen of Red Willow county. His
early decease is largely attributable to
the exposure and privations of pioneer
life , and the sympathy of their numer
ous Nebraska friends go out to bereav
ed wife and children in their dark hour
of sorrow.

To the Justices of the Peace of
Red Willow county. Gentlemen The
Omaha Board of Trade has shipped to
me , at this place , one car of coal for
distribution among drought sufferers. It
will be distributed by me as follows :
Any person in your precinct who has
no means of buying or procuring fuel
will apply to you for fuel and if you are
satisfied that such person is entitled to
aid you will give them an order on me
for 500 or 1,000 pounds of coal. Not
more than one-half ton will be furnished
any person or family at this time , and
it is advisable for you to only order 500
pounds at this time for each family in
order to make this car of coal go as far
as possible.
I understand the B. & M. R. R. Co.
have donated another car of coal for
this purpose and that it will be here
soon. Please inform all persons likely
to need aid in your precinct of above
notice. Yours Very Truly ,

the car of coal to the Ladies of the Mc
Cook Benevolent Society to dispose of
as they see fit among you. If you know
of any one who is unable to procure
fuel please report to them.
