The McCook Tribune is one of the
neatest looking and best edited county
papers on our exchange list. Riverton
Enterprise.
We put up all letter heads , note
heads , bill heads , etc. , in blotter tablets ,
if desired , without extra charge. They
re very convenient.
McCook was quite enlivened during
the first of the week by the delegations
from Culbertson , Benkelman , Stratton ,
Haigler , and other towns.
Our ice men are busily engaged in
putting up ice for the coming summer.
The ice on the Republican is 13 inches
in thickness and fair in quality.
The McCook Tribune came to us last
syeek printed on pink news print , giving
it a conspicuous appearance among our
many exchanges Pawnee Banner.

a matter of protection.

We take pleasure in presenting a
readable and interesting communication
from Carrico , Hayes county , to our
readers , and hope "W. " will favor us
with a letter every week.

horses and cattle in good condition

try in good health and make thtm lay ,
for sausage flavoring , and for the best
Cough Medicines in the world , go to

The boys held aq enjoyable little
musicale at their rooms , Sunday night
M/ . Wilson of the Tennesseeans ren
dered some vocal music handsomely ,
and Mr. Baker's violin playing was un
questionably fine. McCook can cal
together as much musical talent on shor
notice as any town in the Valley.
A prophet is not without honor save
in his own country. The Echo recently
published the history , growth , etc. , of
Franklin county , and received this
encouragement :
As an appreciation of our efforts * t <

Half of the business quarter of Min-
; en was destroyed by fir ? , Saturday
We arc pleased to state that Charlie
Wisher who was quite sick , Wednesday
ight , is mush better , this morning.
The rink has been closed. The last
skating , was engaged in Wednesday
night. The skates are offered for sale
is see notice elsewhere in this issue.
We always keep a number of extra
copies of THE TRIBUNE to accommo
date parties who wish to send the news
of this locality to their friends in the
East.
We arc under obligation to J. P. Is
rael for a splendid turkey roast which
we enjoyed at his restaurant , Wednes
day. Mr. Israel is getting things in
good shape , and will do well in this
new venture.
The people of McCook ought to adopt
a standard time. As matters stand now
we have at least three different stand
ards of time , central , mountain and
local. Adopt one of these standards
central would doubtless be the best
and we will have some uniformity in
time where general demoralization
now reigns.
Just a few words to those desiring
job work : We do not claim to be able
to do work as low as large , wholesale
publishing houses we make no such
silly claim but we do claim to do neat
and tasty job work at a fair price , and
are not ashamed to show our specimens
of work , which has been giving satis
faction. Call and see.
A. E. Lytle has gone to Chicago to
purchase a stock of hardware , stoves ,
etc. . we are informed , which he intends
to open at McCook in the building re
cently occupied by C. H. Rogers. Art
is a practical tinner and hardware man ,
having been "raised" in the business
at his former home , Quincy , Mien. ,
and if there is any advantage in that
he will have his share of the trade.
Culbertson Sun.
The coldest probably during "the late
unpleasantness" of the weather was
18 degrees below zero , which the ther
mometers indicated early Monday morn
ing. There was little or no wind and
it could hardly be realized that the tem
perature was even * down to zero. We
have reason to congratulate ourselves
here in the Upper Republican valley ,
when we read of the terrible weather
they have been experiencing east and
north and west. We have been having
mild weather in comparison with the
rigorous winter they are having.
Considerable loss of stock is reported
as having occurred during the storm.
In part from lack of water the Repub
lican and many of the small streams
which run through this section of coun
try being frozen over making the sup
ply of water uncertain and difficult of
access. All cattle that were fat fared
well , but the lean , weak ones will num
ber fewer than before the storm. Those
of our stock men who gathered up the
poorer cows in the fall and have been
feeding and in a manner sheltering them
have sustained little if any loss at all.
But the Btorm king hns gathered home
a good many of the ill-conditioned ones
out on the larger ranches.
At the regular election of the Union
Sunday School , last Sabbath , Mrs. Clark
was re-elected Superintendent ; Miss Ida
Hollister was elected Assistant Super
intendent ; Miss Mabel Meserve was reelected -
elected Secretary ; Mrs. Nobel will take
care of the funds , and Mrs. Dungan
takes charge of the singing. The re
ports of the teachers show progress and
creat increase in attendance from a
small beginning of 12 pupils. Mrs.
Nobel reported Laura Ferguson , Ella
McCoikhill , Eva Hurd and Theo. Laws
as being present every Sunday during
the past quarter. The School enters
upon the new year with bright prospects
for active work among the young people
( and the older as well ) of McCook.
Any person -wishing to buy a pair of
[ toiler Skates , can do so by calling at
5. & M. Pharmacy.
The Board of Commissioners met on
Tuesday. Commissioner H. H. Pickens
retiring , and S. L. Green , of McCook ,
assuming the duties of his office.
F. J. Taylor , Mayor of CrcstonIowa ,
who recently made McCook a flying
visit , has the following to say about the
most promising city in the Republican
Vailey. He mentions a few of her
nttractions :
"I was as far west as McCook. Just
one year has passed between my visits
there. I can tell you , McCook has
grown wonderfully in that time. It
now has a round house of fifteen stalls ;
lias established water works , so there is
not a house in town which cannot have
water in the garret if they wish it.
They have a skating rink there , a danc
ing hall , and a good many fine dwell
ings , that of Supt. Campbell being es
pecially worthy of note , and ] will say
McCook has one of the finest brass
bands in the state , being composed of
fourteen pieces , well uniformed , and
which discorses some of the finest mu
sic 1 ever heard. McCook is really a
thriving young city. "
The business of selling western lands
on fraudulent deeds in the east seems
to be extensively carried on by those
who hove embarked in the enterprise.
We scarcely pick up a western exchange
but what sonic transaction of this kind
is being ventilated by the press. The
latest that has come under our observa
tion was a deal made in Hitchcock
county lands by one of these sharks.
Chas. Walters and wife sold to M. Mar
quis , of Holmsville , Ohio , the south
half section 9 , town 1 , range 35 west.
Consideration $1,000. The dcod , which ,
even to a casual observer , was a fraud
upon its face , was sent to Clerk Perry
to be recorded , who , no doubt , has in
formed the purchaser that he has been
victimized. The land is on the south
side of the Republican , close to the town
of Stratton , and in a strip of country
where there is nothing but sand hills
and utterly worthless except for graz
ing purposes. The government officers
are well aware of these fraudulent sales ,
but what steps , if any , have been taken
to apprehend the rascals and stop the
business is not known. At all events ,
the gang ought to be broken up. Cul
bertson Sun.
The Tennesseeans.
The colored concert company sang to
crowded houses both Monday and Tues
day nights. The } ' came to McCook well
recommended by the press , the pulpit
and the people , and their singing was
well , nay , enthusiastically received by
their audiences at both of their con
certs. And judging from the unstintec
plaudit they received , have establish er
themselves with our people. Like al
similar companies , they have one or two
prominent features. In this instance ,
Mr. Wilson , the tenor soloist , and Mr.
Hagennan , the jumbo basso , are the
mofat praiseworthy. Wilbon certainly
has a fine voice and his execution is
good , in fact few concert companies
have tenors who equal him. Then comes
the heavy villain bass , we mean. Hag
ennan has a phenomenal voice , but he
resorts to , some villainous bellowing that
would do justice to a yearling pteer ,
which does not add to his otherwise
good singing. Quality , not quantity
We have the same criticism that has
probably been made against them be
fore , the male portion almost drown out
the female voices thus in a 'great
measure detracting from the effect oJ
their chorus singing. Moderato. The
Tennesseeans are one of the strongest
companies in their line traveling.

Having purchased the entire restau
rant business of Gump & Cole , I have
moved my stock of Groceries into their
old stand , one door south of Post-office

especially my patrons , that I will con

with a full stock of goods always ready
to await upon you. J. P. ISRAEL.

ed running a through passenger coach
