INDIANOLA.
Mrs. E. R. Banks has gone to Iowa.
S. R. Smith was in Lincoln , last Friday , on
business of the law.
E. R. Banks and I. A. Sheridan wandered
up to the seat of county affairs , Monday.
Mesdames W. M. iMcCallum and A. W.
Hoyt visited McCook friends on Friday last.
Rev. Houston is absent attending the
commencement exercises at the Franklin
academy.
Mis. E. R. Banks and Miss Cora Grass
drove up to the county capital , last Friday
afternoon.
Hon.T.H.L.Lee and wife of Exeter visited
friends and relatives in lndianola during the
past'week.
Mrs. Hammond returned home , last Friday
afternoon , from visiting her son Jay at Mc
Cook , for a few days.
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Dolan drove over to
Oberlin , Kansas , the close of last week , on
business , he having some-real estate interests
in that section.
W. R. Starr moved his law office and legal
effects to the county seat , last Friday after
noon , by wagon , locating in splendid quarters
in the court house block.
Anna Holland has lately returned from
Denver , where she has for the past few
years been a most deservedly popular teacher -
er in the Denver public schools.
Will Dolan and Guy Lambom returned from
the Orleans chautauqua , Sunday night , where
they bad been assisting in a musicale under
the leadership of Prof.L.W.Smith. They
report a delightful time at the Frontier chau
tauqua.
County Attorney and Mrs. Keyes left on
No. 2 , Saturday mqrning.for St. Louis. They
will visit relatives in the vicinity and incidentally -
ally look in on the big convention and do their
share towards selecting the next president.
Wednesday , Mrs. Crago , Judge Beck and
others returned from Orleans. The zephyrs
of Tuesday night having blown over the camp
ground tents and the rain submerged their
bedding and camp outfit to such an extent
as to make a longer stay rather uncoin-
fort able.
Colonel W. R. Starr has removed his business -
iness to the county seat , but when it comes
down to domestic bliss and solid home comforts -
forts , good water , ample shade and pleasant
home surroundings , he says there is no place
like lndianola , and he will continue to occupy -
cupy his present home at this place.
The extreme heat of the past few days
has caused W. O. Bond to lose a few fat
hogs. Good shade and water are very
handy things to have around if you have
any fat hogs on hand. So thinks W. O.
He was short on these essentials , we under
stand , and so the piggies "turned up their
toes" .
Hon. Ed. Allen of Arapahoe , who we learn
desires to represent this senatorial district in
the coming legislature , recently visited the
boys in lndianola with a view of gaining their
favor and help for the place From what we
know and hear of Allen , he is a gentleman
well qualified for the position , and no doubt
would prove a most honorable and efficient
member.
It is very consoling to the people of
lndianola that the court house bond propo
sition was successful and thus , in the lan
guage of a former issue of The Tribune ,
the people of McCook have exemplified their
"integrity" . That is , if by so doing the in
tegrity question is settled. We are glad to
know it , as some of us had imagined that
the stock of integrity was a little short in
the vicinity of the standpipe.
Hon Jno J.Lambom , the gentleman that
the newspapers are trying to locate in the
various counties of southwestern Nebraska ,
recently spent a short time in this famous
burg. Whatever may be said of John , the
least is , that he has always been true to his
friends , to lndianola , Red Willow county and
this state ; and neither his friends nor those
who are not his friends have any doubt of his
ability or integrity in private business or pub
lic duty.
lndianola is preparing to have a good old
Independence day celebration. There will
be games galore , dancing and feasting. Pa
triotism and lemonade will flow freely. P.H.
McKillip , a former Red Willow county boy ,
now finishing a law course at Harvard univer
sity , Cambridge , Mass. , will deliver the oration
tion . Pat is forging way ahead in the educa
tional line. He is one that believes there is
always room at the top. We anticipate a
masterpiece of patriotic eloquence.
Yes , 1 } . B. Duckworth is a very successful
alfalfa raiser. In fact he is generally suc
cessful. He was a very successful farmer
on Bewer creek. He ha1 ; made flip Tid'j ; -
ola nvl1 . : Mirccsa - li.i l . • ili * | ] ji. ; J3
1 \ mown far and wide throughout the valley.
And then again , B.B.isoncof the most suc
cessful and entertaining story tellers. In
holding an audience he is away ahead of
Matt Rollins or Michael Dooley. He can sit
on a stump and , in a few minutes , can draw
more tears , or expound more side-splitting
propositions than any man among us.
L.J.Holland's ditch seems somewhat like
the historical millsite ; there is a real good site
for a ditch , but their is little if any water in
your ditch. The fact is the early spring rains
washed out dam and dykes and Holland has
been too busy to make the necessary repairs.
The people out here are pretty slow on the
water question. Mr. Holland , unaided and
alone , brought the ditch and water into the
town , but the property owners did not seem to
appreciate the grand advantage of a good sup
ply of water to irrigate their trees , gardens ,
lawns and farms , and have done very little to
encourage Mr. Holland in his very liberal and
beneficial enterprise. We suggest that the
people of lndianola do something to assist
Mr. Holland in building and keeping in repair
this very useful improvement.
VA1LTON.
Pretty warm at this writing.
Small grain needs plenty of rain. Com
looks well.
Not much political interest in these parts ;
in fact politics is getting somewhat stale.
Rev. J. E. Darby will preach at his usual
appointment , two weeks from next Sabbath.
Rexford Simpson has been able to attend to
his farm work for some time , and hopes rheu
matism is a thing of the past.
A. W. Dutcher helped C. S. Ferris put his
well and pump in shape , Monday. A.V. . is
an expert in the matter of wells and pumps.
W. F. Esher returns from his Kansas City
trip feeling quite well for him , being able to
attend to considerable farm work in person.
We were sorry not to be able to attend
Children's day service , last Sabbath , but are
pleased to note a profitable time to all pres

1 One of the Cashen boys hired out to H. T.
Church for the balance of the year.
C. J. Ryan and family were out circulating
among acquaintances , Sunday last.
Mike Steltzer is whiling away the haying
season and fishing on the sly at Irv Spauld-
ing's.
Thus far one of the largest crops of the sea
son has been potato bugs and they are still
with us.
The writer herewith presents an application
for the Divide school as no one else is having
any fits over it.
According to an old saying a field hath
three needs : Good weather , good seed and a
good husbandman.
The present style of self-binders will have
to be somewhat changed in order to harvest
the small grain , this season.
Watermelons and cantaloupes will not be
very plentiful , this year , as the bugs have
pruned the vines too closely.
Hot weather proves depressing to those
who are not very anxious to work. 100 in the
shade is nuherwarm for June.
J. S. Modrell has planted about 35 acres to
broom corn and we believe it to be the only
patch of that commodity for miles around.
A young lady leading a bicycle and carry
ing a pail of vinegar was seen wading through
the weeds along the highway , one day this
week.
James Brady has out an unusually large
crop of corn , this year , all of which is looking
fine , having made a remarkable growth in the
past few days.
With a good deal of violin scraping and
change of bases or "alia man lef , swing yer
pardner" , life was merry after a fashion at the
King's hop on a recent evening.
A. F. Reeves was so fascinated with the
Pacific coast country that he contemplates
removing there in the near future and he ex
pects to locate permanently in Oregon or the
evergreen state.
Geo. Henderson seems to have more work
on hand than any one individual in the com
munity , having about 140 acres planted to
corn. George is a hard working lad and to
see him have a million bushels or so of corn ,
this fall would be about proper.
PLEASANT RIDGE.
The health of this community is good.
Small grain in this vicinity looks sickly.
Your correspondent has had new potatoes
since the 5th of June.
Corn is growing fast and our farmers have
most of the weeds subdued.
Some people are particular about names ,
but I think Finders is amce name.
The grasshoppers are multiplying all the
time. They are hurting vegetation.
The grasshoppers have entirely destroyed
Alphonso McDonald's late corn on the Palmer
place.
This hot weather makes us sigh for a place
in some vast wilderness , where there is plenty
of ice.
Some of our people are groaning in fear of
a drouth , but I never could enjoy crossing a
bridge before got to it.
Mis. James Harris and daughter visited in
Herndon , Kansas , last week , and report the
crops over there very fine.
The gentleman who is afflicted with a pain
in his arm can procure a cushion from Mont
gomery Ward , Chicago , UHnoit.
News is scarce this week. The people are
all too busy in the com fields to think of telling
the news. We hope to have something in
teresting to tell you next week.
The young man that lost his hat , Sunday
evening , will probably find it drifting toward
the sea. Moral : Never hang your hat on top
of a buggy when the wind is blowing.
Children's day was observed at the Ridge ,
last Sunday. An interesting programme was
carried out. The children did well , the music
was very good and the contribution was gen
erous.
Crooked cart wheels are great things to
bring people into prominence. I wonder why.
A young man passed through this neighbor
hood , Saturday evening , whose heart must
have been light and happy , for he was sing
ing "Fair as a lily , joyous and free" ; but we
expect to hear him quoting poetry somewhat
after this fashion : "Farewell ! a long fare
well to all my greatness" .
DANBURY.
Small grain is suffering for moisture.
v Kensiue oiijcamore , 111. , is visiting with
his daughter , Mrs. C. P. Underwood. -
New potatoes on hand at W. M. Harrison's.
How is this for Nebraska ? Early enough , is
it not ?
Philip Gliem and Mitchell Young were bus
iness visitors to the new county capital , Wed
nesday.
Small giain seems to be suffering for lack
of moisture , and farmers are somewhat dis
couraged. Com is growing rapidly. In fact
we never saw com grow faster in any coun-
try. The outlook for an immense corn crop
is very good at present. Alfalfa seems to be
seeding all right and should the weather continue -
tinue favorable a good seed crop is anticipat- :
ed.

Children's day was duly observed , Sunday. 1
Quite a nice programme was rendered and all |
were pleased with the exercises. The church j
was beautifully decorated. The little ones j
did themselves credit. The exercise rendered - j
ed by the infant class was especially com- j
mendable. The teachers and officers deserve j
much praise for their excellent management. I
The Union Sunday school was invited and
most all of them attended. Their programme j
will be given next Sunday , and the Methodist {
Sundayschool is invited and will attend. We )
anticipate an excellent programme. May the
good work go on is the wish of all earnest
christian workers. |

COURT HOUSE NEV/S ITEMS.
Matters of Interest Gleaned From the Several -
eral County Offices.
DISTRIpT COURT CXEKK'S OFFICE.
Mrs. Tilla Banks files her petition in an ap
plication for a divorce from Edson R. Banks ,
alleging some very salacious matters. Also
asks for an injunction restraining her husband
from disposing of his property.
The matter of the confirmation of the sher
iff's sale in the foreclosure case of Phelan vs.
Johnston came up again before Judge Norris
in chambers , last Friday. A continuance
was granted for ten days.
COUNTY JUDGE'S OFFICE.
Marriage license was issued to Joseph
Spoils aged 50 and Albertena Yonce aged 32.
They were married by Squire Berry on Wed
nesday afternoon.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Work was inaugurated , this week , on the
vault for the county records ; it is being built
under the main stairway and will be conven
ient of access , large and handy.
COLEMAN.
That was a fine rain.
M. H. Cole has bought a new cultivator.
M. II. Cole cut his alfalfa , one day last
week.
Wm. Coleman has planted his melon patch
four times.
H. B. Wales planted 25 acres of new break
ing to corn.
Wm. Coleman has cultivated his orchard
six times , this summer.
The bugs are after the pumpkin and squash
vines and are making trouble.
Rev. J. A. Badcon of McCook preached at
Zion Hill church , on last Sabbath.
Worth Coleman of McCook is out here
working for his uncle , Wm. Sharp , during va
cation.
Rev. D. S. Morris attended the Y. P. S. C. E.
meeting at the Coleman school house , on last
Sunday night.
H. B. Wales , took the shovels of the culti
vator and put two knives on about two and a
half feet long , and now he takes two rows at
a time.
Corn is pretty clean , this year. J. W. Cor
ner has a field of 20 acres that we doubt if
there are weeds enough on the whole patch to
fill a pail.
We have held to Methodism for over forty-
five years and had no idea there was a patent
on it until Rev. Morris was arrested for in
fringement.
Uncle Billy has some very early peas. They
are ripe enough to grow now , and by saving
the earliest for seed he thinks he can , next
year , have peas earlier than anybody by about
forty minutes.
Of all the different ways of swinging a hoe.
Uncle Billy says he seems to stand it best to
swing his on an apple limb while he sits
in a shade of a mulberry bush. He can stand
it better and it don't tire him bad.
On Monday morning , about 9 o'clock , he
shambled out to the corn field with the culti
vator and started in where the rows were only
twenty rods long and came out at the other
end on the fifth row. We don't blame the
boys much for the girls are so sweet , Sunday
evening , that the boys are loth to tear them
selves away from such bliss ; but say , girls ,
for the sake of the corn ciop let them off a
little early , say 2 o'clock a. m.
Tells What He Saw.
During the few days past I have been over
the south part of Red Willow county. I find
small grain in some localities in fair condi
tion while others are dry around the edges.
Corn is in fair condition but in need of culti
vation. The alfalfa crop is simply immense.
Grass in general was never better at this time
of the year. In my rounds I stopped at the
Stewart ranch , and I found there everything
conducted in the most systematic manner.
The foreman ( J. A. Reshl showed me over
his corn crop of bo acres , which is in the best
shape of any piece of corn I ever saw. He
has tilled it five times and there can't be a
handful of weeds found on the So acres. It
will not be the fault of Mr. Resh if he doesn 't
get a wonderful yield of corn. The country
would flourish better if we had more of such
farmers. It is shown in his crop that deep
plowing and thorough work is what we need
in this country. W. D.

Fishing is the fashion.
What is so * rare etc. , etc.
Cherries are ripe and cheap.
Several near here have the new S60. three

Miss Kate Smith is attending the summer

Florence Moore has postponed her trip
