REVERSED In the case of Joseph
3. Evarts versus Martin Lester , on ap-
> eal by the latter from the decision of
he general land office holding for can
cellation his homestead entry for a tract

assistant secretary , Saturday , ruled that

this in mind. There is no law on snipes.
Apropos to this season the only proper
way to keep a gun barrel in good order
is to wash it out with boiling hot water ,
dry with linen swabs and oil with vase
line or cylinder oil , every time that it is
used. It should never be laid aside
unattended to for a day or two after
Bring.
All smokers are interested in secur

to make himself scarce in this neck of
the moral vineyard.
The railroads have reconsidered the
matter and have decided to run the
usual" Harvest Excursions , " this season ;
and the people of McCook" should begin
to "hump themselvess" in order that
we may induce a goodly portion of ex
cursionists who come this far west to
come here and look us over while every
thing is appearing so fat and frisky.
The first excursion is announced for
August 25th. If we care to do any

ARE WE WILLIHG AND ABLE ?
The meeting announced for this even
ing , in the city hall , to consider the ad
visability of holding a reunion , in Mc-
Cook , this fall , should call out a full
attendance of veterans and citizens. It
is a large and important question and
deserves the fullest 'discussion. The
proper management and conduct of a
reunion such as McCook has held , means
the free use of money and zealous
laborers. The question is do we want
to do it ? Can we raise the means , and
are there enough willing and capable
hands ready to lay hold of the under
taking and carry it on to success. Don't
failfellow-citizensto , be on hand tonight
and give the meeting the advantage of
your views. It is time to determine
what action we shall take. The season
is propitious for an advertisement of
McCook and Red Willow county such
an a successful reunion will give. Are
we willing and able to put up the at
traction.
The sports had a time galore at the
race track , Saturday last , when a run
ning race took place between the res
pective flyers of Mr. Marsh and Mr.
Maddux. It appears to have been one
of those cases when a supposed cinch
failed to materialize into a sure thing ,
and contrary to expectations Mr. Mad
dux was in it most vociferously , and the
other fellows dropped their skekels in
tearful surprise. We understand that
a few races are booked for tomorrow
again. But the boys will be leery of
the cinch that cincheth not.
Monday morning , Barrister Cole laid
aside the musty books of legal lore and
boldly invaded the culinary department ,
during the absence of the family in Il

"put up" in the highest style of the art ;
besides defeating the ever active and
pernicious fruit thief.

Leave the door open , and as the ai

Bellamy , of "Looking Backward'
fame , has an idea about temperance
He would abolish all saloons and ba :
rooms and provide that alcoholic liquori
shall be distributed at cost by salariec
state agents. He thinks this is tin
best method to be adopted until nationa
prohibition can be enacted and enforced
A great sorrow came into the home
of Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Hagar , this morn
ing , in the death of their little hey ol
