" 'rhe county supervisors adjourned - journed on thc 14tt to the 24th and are in session this week with al1mcmbers present. Do not fail to attend ) 'our pre- cinc : caucus and "put in your oar" if you deem it necessary. It is your duty to do so. The hot day and cool nights that have prevailed the past two or three weeks has , the doctors say , produced considerable sick- ncss throughout the county. Services at the M. E. church Sunday , July 29th. l ev. H. M. Pinckney will preach in the morning and Chas. Fordyce will give an educational lecture in the cvening. The matC'rial has been received for a new 2.inch iron fence I around the park and it will be I ut up iu a few days , thereby greatly improving the appearance - ance of Broken. Bow's beautv . . spot. I Mrs. C. . O. Jones left last Saturday for a visit of a week with relatives at Wahoo and the expert telegrapher at the Burlington - lington depot is hustling eatables as best he can during her absence. J. C.

' 1'heJ : were Mrs.V. . B. Howe , of 'T' Mullins , and George McHae , of . Berwyn. ' What a boon it is to our citizens - zens during the hot days to have ( such a cool breathing spot as the park-a present from Jesse Gandy to Broken Bow. It will grow more beautiful and valuable as the years pass by. I Rev. A. J. Hargett , who has i been supplY1l1g the Christian I cburch pulpit the past three wcelts , has now come to remain f until about the middle of . : : ) ep- tember and will conduct services regularly until then. Simonson's meat market deli - li very borse became frightened while the driver wa in a resi- nce on the north side , Monday morning , and made a rapid run for the market whcre he pulled up and no damage done. If work continues on the Masonic 'l'emple as rapidly as it has been carried on , only a short time will elapse until the square and compass will have an excellent - lent home in Broken Bow. It is a splendid addition to the edi. fices of this city. 1\1rs. H. T. Bruce has been ill for e\'eral weelts arid as achange of climate is deemed necessarv , for the betterment of her healtil she has decided to visit Colorado , in company with a sister who resides - sides at McCook , leaving herc the tirst part of next month. ' 1'he Reneau building , near the depot , is being remodeled and when completed will be taken 'charge of by Col. J. E. Iszard , who has succc sfully conducted the Commercial hotel the past two years and it is more than likely the patrons of the latter place will become guests of Hotel Henean as soon as the genial colonel opens it to the public. 'l'h Burlington offers an exceptionally - ceptionally low rate to the 'l'win Cities -Minneapolis and St. Paul-account of the G. A. R. encampment in Minneapolis.

Kimberlingof the Broken Bow State bank , left yesterday for DeMoines , Iowa , where he , will visit relatives and friends for a couple of weeks. If YOlt have not already made up your mind to attcnd the county fair , decide now to do so. Every effort is being made to have it oue of the best shows ever given in Central Nebraska. Mrs. Emaline Hemphill , mother - er of Mrs. J. M. Kimberling , suffered a slight stroke of appoplexy Sundav ' night. he is reported today' having recovered - covered considerably from the attack. A large number of farmers were in from the country last Saturday and nearly all those interviewed stated that they were making arrangements to come to the fair and see the ostrich race against the fastest horse 011 the grounds. 'rhe dipsomania board and a democratIc caucus were both in session at the same timc at the court house last Saturday. This is stated mcrely as a coincidence and not an insinuation that the board was considering those in attendance at the caucus. Clarence Metcalf , of the Middle - dle Loup , came over Saturday and looked around town to see how many friends and acquain- tances he could mcet. His ncice , Miss Mable Metcalf , accompanied him and is attending the Institute - tute , which began Monday. . The farmer who is searching . for a good draft stallion , or who ; is interested in such an animal. I will greatly profit by a visit to the State li'air the first week in September , where already over 100 stalls arc reserved for the very best animals of this description - tion to be found in the west. It is really dis couraging to those who endeavor to locate advantages in a town to have cold-blooded and penurious citizens - zens push the proposition off the stump backwards into the mire. Under such circumstances no towu or C1ty can ever hope to become - come more than a wart on the map. map.W. W. A. Stur 1evant , .formerly with tbe Eagle Grocery Co. , now an honest farmer near Round Valley , came in one day last . week to satisfv himself of the statements made by the RnpUDU- CAN that Broken Bow wa : > growing - ing rapidly. He succeeded in so doing and returned to his farm duties happy in the knowledge thus acquired. "Dade" Walters , Cleon Cannon and Charlie Gac1d returned home last Saturday from Wymore fair where they exhibited I rl. Pur- cell's Gela Monster at 10 cents per , also cond ucted a g.nera 1 stand. 'fhey did a Llirly good business , but report the people in that neck.o'.woods not alarmingly lavisll with their nickles and c1 i mes. The fire department was called out last Sunday evening- about 5 o'clock on account of a blaze at the city pumping station , but I the flames were extinguished before - : . fore the hose cart reached there. 'l'he tire was in the coal shed and is thought to have been caused bv the combustion of gas that ' h'ad accumulated in the coal. There was no pecuniary damage. Gottleib Heiser , of Mason C1ty , more familiarly lenown as I'D.1I" Heiser , a former member of the Board of Supervisors , .was in the city Tuesday attending to business - ness and hobnobb1l1g with old friends. He recently returned from a two week's visit with his son-in-law , near Douglas , Wyo. , and reports one of the most enjoyable - joyable trips of his life , a greater part of tbe time while there being - ing spent in catching mountain trout of which he was successful in securing nearly one hundred. Mrs. Ebcr I-Iume and daughters - ters , Jennie and Etta , of Morris. Illinois , who have been visihng several days with 1\rs. Sharp an(1 Biggerstatf left for home last Monday. Mrs. IIume.1s a cousin of the latter , they having been brought up t.ogether in Illinois. Their fathers , J. W. Cook , of this city and David Cook in the early dal's started in business I together 111 Morris , Illinois. J. W. drifted west w1th his fam11y while David Cook and family remained - mained at the old home. While I here the ) ' visited with the family of WHIts Hume on the North 'table.
