L i 6 As the arrangements progress for the

j H \ enjoyable time improves and grows in
mwL jf > proportion. Everything now points to
| W ' McCook's having one of the best cele-
B J brations in her history , and indications
W $ are that the attendance from surround-
j H IjF ing towns and country will be such as to
B I make up a large and lively crowd.
B | The oration of the day will be deliv-
K > . 1 ered by Judge G. W. Norris of Beaver

H * L hearing , we promise.
B $ f The day will be flooded by such music

j % V The bicycle races' especially promiseS
H t J to be exciting prospects are brighten-
B , ' ing for the construction of a bicycle track

B I races , horse and foot , and numerous
H | g other amusements and attractions.
B & The fireworks in the evening will be
fine : besides there will numerous pretty
S
displays by individuals. All of which
B J& will be attractive and interesting.
B 3D An ox roast -will be one of the features
B m , , of the day we celebrate. You can't af-
B * ford to miss eating some juicy ox with us.
B X Everything will be done to make the

Sized up Just Right.
_ _ m\
_ _ * 2l \ Here is the way a Texas paper puts it :
" ask to subscribe for
"When you a man
V
_ _ _
B fc y your paper and he says , 'O ! I never read
_ _ _ < much and besides times are too plagued
H jmj s tight' , apologize to him for the mistake
B ) p and leave him. Life is too short to
B Bt waste time in trying to teach a mule
_ _ & nJPthow to sing soprano. All men read
B'3b \ I newspapers , lots of them. Show us a
H. * * J man who lives for years in a town or
H W country and never subscribes for a pa-
B | per published there , and we will show
B Jp you a man with a head shaped like a
H' JL piece of pie with the point up , and
H * Me ' whose ignorance is only exceeded by his
B m gigantic gall. A country newspaper is
K m an institution that works every day and
B night for every decent man in the com-
HA , . munity ; therefore every decent man in
Hf4 W * the community is in honor bound to as-
BM > sist in its support. The great trouble is
w W that some swell headed galoots imagine
K > | L that they are making the editor a pres-
B | < ent when they take the paper. We have
H" ? the profoundest sympathy for the man
E't W who lives in a country for years and
1 never subscribes or pays for his home
Bl \ paper. If the poor fellow was to meet
Bvi \ an idea in a lane , he would run and fly
fli \ ? the other way , with the tail of his garB -
B * \i ments beating the atmosphere. Some
B e of them havn't sense enough to keep
BvM warm in hides" .
V v Campaign Songs.
1 We have just received from the music
B publishing house of The S. Brainard's
i Bi * Sons Co. , 151 Wrabash avenue , Chicago ,
B a copy of the "True Blue Republican
B' W Campaign Song Book" for the campaign
B < \ of 1896. The book contains solos , duets ,
Hi mixed and male quartettes , and is espec-
H" 3 ially arranged for campaign clubs. It is
B < JF not a cheap word edition , and is sold for
Hj\ / the remarkably low price of 10 cents , or
Pj/ \ $1.00 a dozen postpaid.
Bj # { Will Move to McCook.
B Jr 1 It is rumored that the Indianola
Br M Courier plant will shortly be moved
Hp * % to McCook and that that paper will
B , be issued from this city , in the near
*
& \k future.
B j f \ It is also stated that C. E. Mathews ,
B Vi "who has been one of the Courier's Mc-
B tf- . C ° ° k correspondents , will be on the
B \ force after the removal.
B 1 Further the deponent sayeth not.
B 1 Later The Courier outfit is being
B * moved into the city , today , and is being
B' / installed in the Tulley building. Thus

BROKE UP THE DANCE !
And the Captain Taxed Them S6.05
Each for It.
Bert Best gave a dance , last Saturday
evening , in South McCook , to a com
pany of young friends. Or more ac
curately stating it , he attempted to give
a dance. But a gang of six young
bloods of the city , all pretty drunk , ap
peared on the festive scene , and after
being denied admittance to participate
in the event , kicked open the door and
broke up the dance.
Bert filed a complaint with Police
Judge Rowell on Monday , charging the
boys with being drunk and disorderly ,
disturbing the peace , etc. Tuesday morn
ing four of the parties appeared and plead
guilty , patching up their fracture of the
law with a fine of $ r.oo and trimmings ,
$6 05 in total. Two of those implicated
in this piece of rowdyism could not be
located by the officers.
Such performances should always be
promptly and sternly frowned down by
constituted authority. This was the
first appearance of these boys berore his
honor , hence the light sentence. An
other "break" and the "punishment
will fit the crime" .
An Under Secretary.
During his recent visit here , State En
gineer W. R. Akers appointed H. H.
Pickens of Valley Grange precinct , and
one of our best posted and practical irri-
gationists , as one of his Under Secretar
ies , with jurisdiction over the waters of
the Frenchman river. Under Secretary
Pickens , we understand , succeeds L. 7-
Carrington of Culbertson.
He has been up the river , this week ,
looking after the apportionment of the
water according to priorities etc. , and
the work will be conscientiously and
faithfully performed.

AND IT RAINED AGAIN
About Two Inches of Bainfall , This
Week , in Nightly Showers.
BOTH NEEDED AND ABUNDANT
This Section of the State Has Been
Generously Soaked , This
Week , in Repeated
Showers.
The showers of Sunday , morning and
evening , and of Monday morning , were
both opportune and helpful. About one
inch of water fell in the three showers ,
one-half inch Sunday morning , one-
fourth of an inch each on Sunday and
Monday evenings. It is only to be re
gretted that the rains were not more
general , as we understand , the precipi
tation was lighter south and east of here
than at this place , north or west. How
ever , they were very acceptable , and
'
each one went to the spot.
The rain of Tuesday evening amount
ed to .43 of an inch , extending from
eastern Colorado as far east as Hastings
and beyond. The storm looked quite
threatening , but did not materialize into
anything damaging , although accom-
paned by a high wind.
The rainfall so far this month has
been as follows : June 11 , .58. June 21 ,
.45. June 22 , .44. June 23 , .43. Or a
total of 1.90 inches , which puts a very
encouraging face on crop prospects of
all kinds , although the small grain has
been quite severety hurt in some locali
ties in this part of the state. The corn
prospect has never been brighter at this
time of the year.
The electrical display during Wednes
day night's rain was something startling ,
but the precipitation was slight , amount
ing to but .06 of an inch. The rain ,
thunder and lightning were heavier
south and west of here. The retreat
from the opera house , after the concert ,
was somewhat panick } * , on this account.
Irrigation Items.
State Engineer W. R. Akers has re
turned from a trip to McCook , Culbert
son and Palisade. He found crops of
all kinds in fine condition between Lin
coln and Hastings. The corn in the
wastern part of the state where he was
is fine , but small grain is in need of rain.
He inspected irrigation ditches and
found that irrigation has been carried
on to advantage in the extreme west ,
but in the Republican river valley small
ditches only seem to be giving satisfac
tion. So far at Culbertson the water
has not gone through the big ditch.
Water flows in rapidly , but is soaked up
before it flows far. Mr. Akers believes
this can be remedied by allowing water
to stand in the ditch during the winter
and thus preventing the ground from
getting so dry. At one place he found
small grain burning up along a large
ditch , the farmers refusing to irrigate
because of some misunderstanding with
the irrigation company. During a rainy
season such as the state has just exper
ienced considerable damage to irrigation
ditches by washing out is generally re
ported. Thus far no damage has been re
ported. Ditches in flooded sections have
escaped injury. Lincoln Journal.
Pythian Decoration Day.
The Knights of Pythias of our city
celebrated last Sunday as Pythian Deco
ration day. The members of the order
met at the city hall , in the afternoon ,
and headed by the Nebraska Brigade
Band , U. R. K. P. , marched to Longview -
view cemetery , where the graves of the
following departed Knights were decor
ated with flowers and evergreens with
the appropriate * and beautiful ceremony
of the Pythian ritual : Sir Knights J. B.
McCabe , Swan Nelson and Samuel Fisk.
This is one of the truly beautiful and
commendable customs of Pythianism
the annual floral remembrance of their
deceased brethren in F. C. and B.
A Conquering Hero.
"Talkingof bands" , said Col. John F.
Kenyon , the handsome and accomplish
ed trainmaster of the Burlington route ,
and who registers to vote at McCook ,
"there are bands and bands , but McCook
has the band that the Nebraska state
fair management have engaged to charm
the visitors , this fall , and you can say
without boasting that McCook , band and
all , is a conquering hero , seven days dur
ing the week" . Hastings Democrat.
Reversed and Remanded.
The case of Aultschuler vs. Snyder ,
error from Red Willow county , was re
cently reversed by the state supreme
court , and the case was remanded.
Opinion by Commissioner Irvine.

GHOW GREAT AND WAX STRONG
But It Will Always be the Scene of
Political and Cojnmerclal
Strife and Home of
the Deacon.
"W. R. Starr has moved his law office
to McCook. His family will remain in
Indianola for the present. We regret to
see Mr. Starr leave. It is much more
convenient , however , for lawyers to live
in the county seat , and we do not criti
cise him for this move. In the law bus
iness , Indianola must take her place
with Cambridge , Arapahoe and Oxford ,
and even a secondary place to the first
two named.
While we believe that the loss of the
count } ' seat is only a temporary set-back
for Indianola , we must acknowledge
that McCook possesses great advantages
over any town in western Nebraska.
McCook will always be the scene of po
litical and social strife , but it will grow
great and wax strong. At present the
A. P. A. makes life a burden in Mc
Cook , drives away trade , and raises hell
generally. It may be a good place to
make money , but a bad place to take
one's family" . Indianola Reporter.
