The manager of the C. , B. & Q. bal

terviewed on the subject by the Col
chester Independent man , he said :
"Good ballast put on roads to a depth
of twelve inches would make a road
which with slight and occasional repairs
would last for all time. The ballast
can in many instances be made from
the soil now composing the roadbed , so
the bulk of the material is at hand. Its
cost would be small. Almost any place
it could be delivered and made into road
for a dollar and a half a cubic jard. A
cubic yard would make one foot , run
ning measure , of a road twenty-seven
feet wide. I believe that when better
understood clay ballast will be extens
ively used in this country in city and
country permanent road making. Alun-

At evening meeting , last Sunday , the

In a two column article concerning
the county seat removal question , last
week , the Indianola Courier does not
say one word concerning the $3,600
costs the Indianola commissioners have
already saddled onto Red Willow coun
ty. An unintentional oversight , no
doubt.
The fact that the town of Danbury
is in Beaver precinct has in past caused
more or less error and confusion in the
minds of many , and THE TRIBUNE hears
that an effort is contemplated to have
the names of Danbury and Beaver pre
cincts exchanged , so that the name of
the town and precinct will be the same.

Millions of Colorado beetles were
washed on the shore at Sea Island City ,

Next week THE TRIBUNE will pub
lish McCook's absolute guarantee that
she will provide an elegant site and
erect a suitable court house , free of ex
pense to Red Willow county , should
the county seat be removed to McCook.
Those innocent Indianola friends
who are circulating the fake that Mc
Cook will force $100,000 bonds on Red
Willow county , in case the county-seat
is removed to McCook , arc doubtless
not aware that this county is taxed in
the maximum amount allowed by law.
The social in the Babcock store room ,
last evening , which was in charge of the
gentlemen friends of the Congregation
al church , had the peculiar charm of
being unique in conception and ac
knowledged cleverness in execution.
In fact the gentlemen acquitted them
selves handsomely and took in numer
ous shekels.
Red Willow county's present court
house is not suitable for the safe and
expeditious transaction of the business
of the county. Surely no reasonable
voter in the county can object to having
a finer , larger , more convenient court
house built for the county , free of ex
pense , as McCook guarantees to do , not
withstanding the misrepresentations of
our Indianola friends.
In calling the Republican county
convention for July 2lst the chairman
and secretary of the committee deemed
it for the best interests of the party
that the purpose of the convention be
confined to simply electing nine dele
gates to the state convention of Aug
ust 4th ; and that the county convention
for the nomination of a representative ,
county attorney and commissioner be
held later.
THE TRIBUNE is waiting 0 , so pa

his duty unless he springs the old gag
again pretty soon. Wait for the grass

Little Oscar , son of S. E. Hagar ,
while visiting at J. W. Dolan's at Indian

by falling from a horse. His injuries
embrace a broken arm and ugly cuts
and bruises about head and face caused
by the horse stepping on him. The
little fellow was brought home , Monday ,
and the broken arm was set and put in
a plaster of Paris mould. He is now
getting along quite nicely and with as
much comfort as can be expected con
sidering the nature and extent of hurts
sustained.
ST. NICHOLAS Magazine has been
getting suggestions from its readers as
to a national song. { 'The Star-Spangled
Banner" seems to have the strongest ex
isting claim to that honor , but one young
person , who objects to the words but
thinks well of the music , makes the
novel proposition to fit the words of
"My Country 'tis of Thee" to the music
of "The Star-Spangled Banner. " The
editor of St. Nicholas suggests that she
seek some quiet place and try the effect
of mixing the two very cautiously.

A Satisfactory Show.
Together with : i well filled puise F.
J. Taylor takes with him from Mc
Cook the hearty appreciation and dis
tinct applause of the largest afternoon
and evening audiences which have ever
assembled under his tent. Mr. Taylor
puts up a clever show , a performance
throughout which goes right to the spot
with all his patrons. His first appear
ance in McCook , last Saturday , was in
the nature of an ovation , the outpour
ing of people at both performances
being quite unprecedented both as to
number and enthusiasm. Mr. Taylor's
show is quite devoid of fakirs and
scamps generally. It is a success and
gives marked satisfaction to the public.
Future appearances in McCook will be
given an equally royal and gratifying
reception.
