The locomotive engineers and their families, together with others, went out to Lamplaugh's lake this morning for the purpose of holding a picnic. The day will no doubt be pleasantly passed. The ice cream social held by the band boys Saturday evening was wall attended, though the temperature of the evening was not such as to make a heavy demand for the frozen dainty. Call on Davis & Co. and see the best mowers made. We defy competition on our mowers. -The commissioners are along pretty well with allowing bills against the county, but no warrants will bo issued until chairman Murphy returns and signs them. County clerk Stoddard has posted a notice to the effect that the warrants will probably be ready to be issued August 1st. Otis Corbottan uncle of Jim Corbett. the prize ring fighter, was in town Sun day. On the 2Gth of June Mr. Corbett and J. R. Hamilton launched a flat boat in the South Platte river near Denver and declared their intention of cointr to New Orleans in their craft. Reaching a point near Ogalalla last week they found the water in the South Platte getting a little shallow and had their boat trans ferred to the North Platte, and it was while this work was being done that Mr. Corbett came to town. It will probablv bo well into the fall season before the excursionists reach their destination. Having just cotnplpted an addition to their residence and made other im provements, Mr, and Mrs. C. E. Norton concluded to have a "house warming," that is probably an incorrect phrase this weather and invite a number of friends thereto. This they according did on Monday evoning, and from the merry peals of laughter which came from the house, together with the sweet strains of an orchestra, it was evident that tho guests were having a right royal time. Tho lawn was lighted with Chinese lan terns which produced a very pretty ef fect. Wo are in it on Binding Twine Davis & Co. On or about the 2Cth inst L. Strick ler will move his hardware store to the Hinman block on Front street, occupy ing the first room west of Ormsby's gro cery. In his new location he will con tinue to carry in stock a full line of goods, and sell at prices well the pub lic know how low his prices have been in the past, and they will continue to be kept down to bed-rock. Mr. Strickler will be pleased to meet all his old cus tomers in his new location, and those who have not patronised him in tho past will find it to their advantage to see him beforo making contemplated purchases. A regular meeting of the city coun cil was held Monday evoning, the mayor and all members being present. After the usual preliminary business had been transacted, the bids for hauling dirt and teaming were reconsidered, and on mo tion tho contract was awarded to S. W. VanDoran, his bid being thirty-four cents per load for drawing dirt and 314 per day for teaming. A petition for a sidewalk on the south side of Sixth Btreet running from Ash to Locust, was referred to the proper committee. The committee on public improvements was requestod to report in full upon the pro posecl west end ditch at the next meet ing. Tho mayor stated that the assessed valuation of city property figured in round numbers $127,000 and that war rants to tho amount of $3,700 could now be drawn.

The Baptist people wero disappointed, in the man they expected to preach last Sabbath, not putting in an appearance. We trust that these good people will soon find a suitable man to take chargo of the work of the church. The congregations at our churches wero smaller than usual last Sabbath, the probable cause being the warm weather. Friends, remembor that so long as you expect your pastor to preach you ought to be present to encourage him. In our absence last week we had en gaged another to prepare the news of this column, but for somo reason he failed to furnish the items. If any one missed the news they will have to ask our brother for tho reason they did not appear. The funeral of Mrs. Virgina Davis was held at the M. E. church on Sabbath at two p. m., Rev. Smith preaching the ser mon. There was a large attendance of sympathizing friends present to express their appreciation of tho worth of this sister. W have been anxious to see work be gun on the new Episcopal church. We presume our brethren are studying plans carefully, and when they do begin the erection of the building thoy will push it rapidly to completion and have just what they want. Tho young people's lawn social at the Lutheran church last week was quite well patronized, notwithstanding our Episcopal brethren had a social tho evening.
