A specimen of the genus homo of Teutonic extraction , decidedly under the malignant -influence of "high- license-school - fund personal-liberty juice , " occupied Rogers , platform , Sat urday Happening in the B. & M.

The members of the Social Club met , Wednesday evening , and passed a very enjoyable evening in "tripping the light fantastic toe , " entering into the dance with more than ordinary spirit ana zest traceable , probably , to a number of new pumps on the floor. Jno. J. Dunbar is now running the blacksmith shop on west Dennison street. He has a firsc-class workman employed , .and guarantees that he can do as good work as any smith in the state. He is also a fine worker in wood , and invites inspection. Colonel Burch says he is meeting with very fair success among our people ple in the matter of substantial encour agement toward his hand-book of this county , now in preparation. We wish him every success. The Colonel intends driving over the county and his report will necessarily be authentic. We have in stock a fine line of the latest style calling cards , also suitable type , and arc prepared to accommodate all who desire a nice card. Our job deparament is fitted out with new type and presses , and we are constantly adding the latest job faces. ( Jive us a call , for we think we can do your job work in a neat and tasty manner. J. E. Cochran , a lawyer of Oberlin , Kansas , has decided to move to our "phenomenal and brilliant little city of the upper Republican valley , " -and make it his future home , lie is build ing an office and dwelling combined on the lull , just below the Land Office , and will shortly move his family here from our sister state. 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 good , 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. We had the pleasure of seeing the rooms which Messrs. Hinman & Glen- jion papered , painted and decorated for Mr. Daniels , Tuesday , and we were surprised to ascertain that we had ar tists in our midst who were able to do work of such excellence. The paper was smoothly hung , and ceiling deco rations showed artistic taste in selec tion and hanging. The painting was nicely executed the ebony and gold and French veneering making a pleas ing contrast. It will be remembered that some one attempted some time ago , to wreck the passenger train west of Arapahoe , hear Burton's Bend , and that the train men gave it as their opinion that the at tempt was made for the purpose of robbery ; but suspicion rested. upon certain parties in that vicinity who had claims , against the B. & M. company , and a detective named Galligan has been working the matter up ever since. We now learn that on Monday of last week , Deputy Sheriff I. H. Dempsey , arrested Cyrus Callahan and Michael Morriscy , living near Burton's Bend , on a complaint sworn out by detective Galligan , charging Callahan and Morrissey - rissey guilt } of attempting to wreck the train at that time" . The prisoners were taken to Arapahoe. and had a preliminary trial on Tuesday , before Esquire Murphy. The examination revealed facts that warranted justice Murphy in binding Callahau over iu the sum of $1,000 to appear at the next term of district court. The evidence was not strong against Morrissey and he was released. Oxford Register. PERSONAL 'MENTION. Mrs. Atwood is visiting Mrs. W. S. Perry. Charlie Ashmore is spending some time in McCook.

Although but little advertised , a large number of our people turned out to hear what we unhesitatingly style one ot the finest lectures to which they will have occasion to listen in along while. The Colonel took the liberty to change the subject of his lecture , and spoke most earnestly and eloquent upon "The Battles of Life , " suggesting some beautiful thoughts , and giving some wholesome admonitions ; not spar ing cant and hypocrisy , and extolling right , truth and justice. Probably the brightest pearl dropped was that of man's severe and unwarranted judg ment of his fellow creature. "Let him that is without sin cast the first stone,5' covers the ground of the lecture's re marks on that subject. Col. Burch is preparing a hand-book or pamphlet of Red Willow county , at the request of a number of our most influential men , and has been canvas sing our town in connection with the same. Such a book is needed and the Colonel's experience in that line as sures a highly creditable work. Newspaper Annual. N. W.

By nine of the clock , the hall was crowded , and the members of the Union , dressed in the New England costume of a century since , were kept busy dishing up Bos ton baked beans , pumpkins , etc. , not to make mention of the more modern and more civilized delicacies with which the tables were fairly groaning. Many of our people took supper there , and many after eating at home and coming to the hall to take a peep , were tempt ed to ' 'fall to" and partake of the ele gant repast spread before them. The ladies had made juost extensive and complete preparations for the event , and were ready for the crowd which thronged the hall. The room was prepared to represent one of the olden times , and with the stringed pumpkins , spinning wheels , old dishes , and the numerous other articles of a hundred years ago , ladies and gentlemen in appropriate dress , made a scene not unlike one in the time of George and Martha. Mrs. Batchc- lor and Mrs. Green , as Aunts Jcrusha and Hannah , were immense , and the source of much merriment. Dr. John son and Mrs. Gump scored quite a "hit'1 as George and Martha. Uncle Jed. was there in the person of "the funny man , " which is good and suffi cient evidence that that character was admirably sustained. The noble red men , Messrs. Byron and Kelly , gave color to the scene , as well as liveliness. Among the many articles on exhibi tion , a very few of which we were able to make a note , were : Old and hand some dishes from England and Bel gium ; a beautiful set of dishes 100 years old by Mrs. Meservc ; Mr. Buck's file of the New York Gazette , embrac ing the years of 1758-59 , printed while the stamp act was in force , each having the crown stamped thereon ; a news paper containing an account of Wash ington's death ; a box made from a piece of the historic ; 'Charter Oak" by 3Irs. Hollister ; a plate 120 years old by Mrs. C. II. Heed ; a cake basket 100 years old by Mrs. T. G. llees ; Dr. Willey exhibited a Jaw book 100 years old ; two books , written by Abbe LePluehe in 1741 ; salt seller 100 years old by Miss Nellie Fisher ; Mrs. Buck exhibited a wheel-boy and wool cards , 73 years old , some coin , a piece of bark from an N. E. Indian canoe and a specimen of knitting done by children in a mission school in the Isle of Ceylon ; a cute little German lantern of the modest age of 80 years. We have- attempted to give but a few of the many articles , all of which , were notable. The ladies of the Union should feel proud of the success of their entertain ment , for an unqualified success it was. The band boys "surprised" the ladies by discoursing a number of pieces of music before the hall in the early part of the evening , for which delightful music the ladies return their hearty thanks. The amount realized from the supper , over and above all expenses , Wcis $50,00 , which the ladies consider "pretty good. " VALLEY GRANGE ITEMS.

A pleasant dance took place at Billy Bloomers , last Friday night. We noticed Messrs. Bowles and Ja cobs burning fire-guards , last Thursday. A letter from Van Buren county , Mich. , dated Nov. 15th , reports four inches of snow and very cold. Quite a contrast to what it is here. John Whittaker is building a black smith shop. He intended to give up the business when he left McCook , but his old patrons still brought their work to him and would not take no' ' for an swer , hence the new shop. Grand Carnival !
