dies and gentlemen only will be ad

Our little city is looming up in
more than one way. For horse-stories
of magnitude , one of our disciples of
Esculapius certaintly requires "favor
able mention' ' at least. How does a
piece of horse-flesh , as to height six
teen feet , strike you ? The wooden
horse that took in the unsophisticated
Troyites sort of loses prestige.
Rogers have received a "stock of over
coats that excels anything ever brought
into the valley. They range in price
from $3 up to the finest , and the man
who goes around shaking with cold when
he can get one of these gdod , warm
coats at a price so low that all can buy ,
had better go back east and give up the
ghost , then probably he will have no
use for one.
The Roller Skating Rink , under the
management of Dr. Johnsonwas , opened ,
Tuesday evening. This has been a
favorite amusement in the east for a
long timc > and deservedly so , as all can
enjoy ; the healthful exercise. * The
opening was well attended , and there
was no end of fun. There were a nuuv-
ber of disabled citizens the next mom-
ing , but perserverance , etc.
Now that our water works are in
first-class condi tion , and everything is
working smoothly , and we are enjoying
the same in our houses , we would like
to suggest advisability of putting
up a watering trough and fountain in
the business portion of our town , where
our fanners can water their horses , and
allay their own thirst. As it is , they
have to draw their water from one well ,
the only one accessible , which is a very
tiresome operation. We think it only
necessary to suggest this matter , to
have the same carried into effect ; and
it would certainly be a convenience for
which our homesteaders would be grate'
ful.
We understand that a gentleman from
Chicago , has purchased two lots on
Majn Avenue , , abov.e the JBank build
ing , and that will proceed at once to
erect a two-story brick , and ! , put in a
large stock of groceries and dry goods.
The building will have two store rooms
belowand , one room on the second floor ,
which will be used as an Opera House.
G. G. Burton of Hastings , Neb. , who
has been traveling in Nebraska for the
past ten years , desires to procure homes
for himself and a few other families
that are now living near Omaha. Red
Willow county has been selected by the
colony , and Mr. Burton authorized to
look up claims or deeded land. Claims
with timber and water preferred. They
do not propose to pay any fancy price ,
but will give a' reasonable price for im
provements and claim. \ /
All the lumber is now on the spot
for the bridge. As soon as the piles
and driver arrive , and they arc expected
daily , the work will be prosecuted will
all possible haste. The completion of
a bridge over the river at this point
will be hailed with delight by those liv
ing on the south sidewho , have either had
to ford this treacherous stream or go
to Indianola or Oberlin ; and the
more so , as the weather is becoming
colder , and they fancy a ducking in its
cold water the less. It will open up
and make tributary a large territory of
country , hitherto unable to trade here
during the more severe weather.
Therefore our merchants will also re
joice.
"Neighbor" Archibald made the
run between Akron and this place ,
one day last week , a distance of 143
miles in 180 minutes. Considering the
stops made and slowing up at crossings ,
this is an average of a little over 50
miles an hour. While this is the fast
est time probably ever made west of
the Missouri , for that distance ; still it
is not much faster than the schedule
time , which 'is 1-i minutes faster than
the fast train on Pennsylvania Central.
If they possessed the rolling-stock and
road-bed of that much older road , they
would make such time as would paralyze
the Keystone Company. They arc
making remarkable time for a road a
little over a year old. >
At McCook , where , two short years
ago , nothing cumbered the'ground but
cactus and buffalo grass , is a neat little
city of upwards of a thousand souls , a
good round-house and machine shop
and a water works that has over seven
ty-five pounds pressure per inch , that is
rapidly being extended to the houses.
Next year a creamery will be started to
work up the products of the large num
ber of cows that are kept on the adja
cent ranches. The markets are fully
supplied with home-raised vegetables
of nearly all sorts , and the prospect is
that next year will nearly double the
present size of this young pioneer city.

SOCIAL HAPPENINGS.
CRYSTAL WEDDING.
Mr. and Mrs. 0. L. Laws are Surprised
by a Host of Friends and Neigh
bors on the Evening of Their
Fifteenth Anniversary.
Last Thursday evening was a mem
orable occasion in the social world of
McCook. At an early hour , the elite
of the Magic City began arriving at the
residence of Mrs. Noren , whence ,
seventy-five strong , they marched on
the Laws mansion , which , resplendent
with new furniture , carpets , etc. , looks
cosy and homelike of a verity. The
Light-Guard Band in full dress uui-
forin soon made their appearance on
the festive scone , and discoursed some
very fine music , which was heartily
enjoyed by all. Our band , composed
as it is , by some of our best musical
talent , is a source of excusable pride
in our community. The Band was in
vited into the house , and refreshments
served. This subject we feel unable to
cope with. Such coffee , sandwiches ,
cakes , candies nuts , fritit , don't speak
of it !
As spokeswoman for the Ladies'
Sewing Society , Mrs. Dungan. made
some appropriate remarks to the occas
ion , in presenting the gift of the So
ciety. Mr. Laws said he was unab'le
to express his feelings in a satisfactory
manner , but that he appreciated the
motives that prompted the demonstra
tion more highly than the many beauti
ful presents received ; that he had come
into our midst , to stay to be of us ,
and'most cordially invited all to enjoy
the hospitality of the comfortable home
he had builded , with himself and fam-
ily.The
The people of our community arc
not drones in the world's busy hive , and
they enjoy social intercourse all the
more keenly when the opportunity is
afforded , and the universal comment
was , "What a delightful time. " THE
TRIBUNE adds its best wishes to Mr. '
and Mrs. Laws , whose fifteen years of
happy married life was thus so properly
commemorated. The following isa

TRAMPS in some portions of Illinoi.- ?
are burning the barns of the farmers
who own and use self-binders , and the
farmers are organizing into vigilant
committees for their extermination.
There has been entirely too much com
munism preached from the press of thu
country , and this Inrn burning is one of
the fruits of it. Property rights arc
being assaulted every day , and a hall
in the work of the demagogues is called.
