Be prepared with your orders A little breeze of excitement whicl rippled the usually serene sea of life ii McCook was occasioned by an incipien runaway , Monday afternoon. The horse were caught before much- damage wa done. * ' - - town , the first of the week , but did not proceed to paint the town red only his own proboscis in which undertaking he was pre-eminently successful. On Monday evening the Plunkett Sisters Dramatic Co. tendered a com plimentary benefit to the management of the Opera Hall. The play produced was the well-known "Milky White , " which was favorably received by those present. The excellent music discoursed dur ing our recent theatrical festival is due to the efforts of Prof. Yager , T. L. McCrackep , J. F. Kenyon and Miss Lee. Miss Nellie makes an excellent accompanist , being precise and accu rate in her playing. * A large addition is being built on to the building now occupied by Wilcox Bros. , general merchants. This will give them the much needed room their large stock requires to have it properly displayed. They will add a fine stock of groceries , this week. Parties are in town making arrange ments for ope'ning up another saloon. Work has been commenced on the build ing to be used for that purpose , adjoin ing the City Market on West Dehnison street , and other arrangements are be ing perfected to procure ths necessary license. _ The Oberlin papers are in favor of a mail route connecting North Platte and Oberlin and running through this place , and doubtless express the sentiment of their readers. We believe that those really interested'in this new route are all favorable to it , and why not have it ; if not , why not ? The round-up commences at. the head of the Frenchman on Sunday. Differ ent outfits have been wending their way toward that point for the past three or four days. The round-up at the head of the Frenchman is a grand sight , as a large number of cattle and horsemen will be on the ground. While entertainments take some money from all communities they serve p , gopd. purposp at all events. It gives those so luoky as to possess them , .an opportunity to open up new trunks and air their fine "togs , " and then it does all good to get out of the old ruts occas ionally , and see how your neighbor looks. That was indeed a , , worthy example set by , Wilson & Hickling in removing the offensive accumulation from the rear of their restaurant. Would that more might follow in their footsteps in this matter. There are two or three places in our town that can discount a. glue factory two to one , and are o'ut- rageo.us , td Pu.t it mild. We are requested to announce the Methodists will hold their Quarterly Meeting in the Opera Hall , next Sun day. Services will be conducted by Rev. J. M. Mann. Preaching at 10:30 , Mountain time ; communion service at 3 P. M. , and preaching in the evening at 8 o'clock. A general invitation to be present is extended. . 7 We notice that V. Franklin has been making improvements on his house and premises. He has had an addition built and other changes made to beautify and make more convenient and pleasant his home. Engineer Jack Rollins has also added materially to the appearance of his property by the erection of a neat picket fence in front of .it. We have the best arranged and most th.oroqgh.ly Appointed. Opera' Hall in the Republican Valley. The scenery is new , bright and pretty , the hall well lighted and of good proportion , the stage large and convenient , and the dressing rooms , ticket office , etc. , fill the bill completely , and under the present management must needs be a success. In the face of the well demonstrated fact that two things cannot be satisfac torily performed by one person at one and the same time , we insisted upon something more lucid , and succeeded in making , while operating our job press , last F.riday , a most decided impression , pronounced hit on our left hand. So much so as to break one finger and mash two others severely. The auction sale of wild ponies held by J. T. Wray of Culbertson in Dunbar & Olcott's yard attracted a large crowd and was the source of endless amuse ment , as a wild pony can go through about as many antics before submitting to his master as most any four-legged animal we know of. Quite a numbei of them were sold , " and we hope tht sales will continue as contemplated , every Saturday. . e new' blacksmith firm'of Warren & Woerncr arc looking up a location upon which to build their shop. Both if these gentleman are experienced mechanics , and will bo prepared to do nything and everything in their lintf i' business. The town of McCook is a marvel. It , s only a year old but has already 1000. nhabitants , a complete system of waterworks - works costing $25,000 , and the principal > hops of the B. & M. road between the Missouri river and Denver. Society here is good , and business prosperous. Norfolk Journal. Among the new houses commenced his week are those of A. Constable and R. S. Cooley. Mr. Constable is uilding on the brow of the hill east of x > wn , and has one of the finest locations n McCook. The view from that point up and down the valley is superb , and makes that location one of the most desirable within this corporation. Mr. Cooley is having a residence put up in West McCook , adjoining Thos. Mclnroy. George Hocknell , Sr. , died at the res- dence of his son , Representative Hock nell , after a protracted illness , last Thursday afternoon , about 3 o'clock. The old gentleman had over-reached ; he allotted time to man , being 72 years of age , and had been failing in health for some months , and he quietly passed away from this scene of activity as above sta'ted. His earthly remains were aid away in their last resting place in ; he cemetery west of town , Friday fternoon. The Chinese hold to the theory that , he immortal part of man is located in -he region of his anatomy labeled stomach ach , and hence the more aldermanic the tomachic protuberance , the greater the mental force. This seems to be the iheory of our contemporary. The larger ; he paper , the' more rot and nonsense , ; he better the journal. We acknowl- dge it as being the largest paper , it is n bulk , but when the claim includes , he BEST paper , we object mildly. Quality , not quantity. NOW let those interested in.oream- irios see what they can do toward se- juring the erection of a building for ihat purpose. John Stewart of Ana- mesa , Iowa , a pioneer in the creamery business , was in town , Tuesday , for the purpose , if our citizens would aid him n the enterprise , of establishing a jreamery at this place. His plan is to have $4,500 raised here , and he will ake $1,000 stock himself. He will put up the building all complete and perate the s niet This ia a business which will bring money into our com munity , and will pay the stockholders good profits if entered into in earnest. At any rate agitate the matter. We clip the following "little words of praise" from the York Republican , whose editor , " Mr. Morgan , recently made this country a visit : "There is a fine country here , that will rival-the east ern and middle portions of the state in a few years , which is being rapidly set tled up. Homesteads and pre-emptions are readily obtained , but tree claims are scarce , The rush at the McCook land office reminded us of the days of ' 71 in Lincoln. McCookthe end of the "Moun tain Division" of the B. & M. , is one of the neatest towns we have seen in the state. Population , 1,000. It has water works , and about 8 miles of pipe laid. The town site slopes up fromj and commands a fine view of the Republican The opening of the Menard Opera Hall , Friday evening , was an occasion to which all looked forward with pleas urable anticipations , and a crowded house greeted the Plunkett Sisters Dra matic Co. , whose pleasure it was to give the first entertainment in the hall in which our citizens take such a conscious pride , a.nd for the provision of which Mr. Menard has the hearty thanks of the community. "The Ticket of Leave Man" was on this evening performed , and met with the approval it merited. On the following evening the company presented "Flirtation , " a play , which in our opinion , was far better adapted to the troupe , and in which they seem ed to be perfectly at home. L. 0. Hart , in the character of the Yanked lawyer , was brim full , bubbling over with humor , and kept the audience convulsed with laughter wheaever he appeared on the stage , and the other members of the company sustained their parts well. This is the kind of weather when our people are interested more than usually in having sidewalks and crossing. Where are they ? The post office has been scrubbed. PERSONAL POINTERS. P. M. Ra'thburn of 'Cambridge wns in town , Wednesday. Mrs. Hawsworth was an cast bound pa.ssenger , Tuesday. Ed. Boas of the Courier force was in town the first of the week.

Mr. Morse is one of our most successful u stockmen , who believes in shelter and leed , and his loss was practically noth ing the past winter , showing his theory to be correct. He just recently shipped on to his ranch a number of grade year ling heifers , for which he paid a good price. HAMBURGH ITEMS. ED. TRIBUNE : I see nothing in your valuable paper ( which reaches me regularly ) from this part of the county and thought a few items might interest your readers. Assessor Barnett is now making the rounds of our precinct taking the assessment. Our district school has been running for several weeks , and our teacher , Miss Phillips , is giving very good satisfaction so far. We are having frequent and copious showers of rain , and the Beaver valley presents a very beautiful sight robed as she now is in her mantle of green. Mr. Williams and family of Danbury , and Mr. Russell and family of Ham burgh , spent a pleasant day at the resi dence of J. L. Townley , Esq. , one day last week. We are getting eur share of emigra tion ; nearly all available land in out town , having been taken by men who are pushing improvements with great rapidity. The crop prospect was nevei better. Small grain is far ahead of anj of previous years. Corn is all planted and growing nicely. A very large acre age has been put in this spring , espec ially small grain. Wm. M. Irwin has just erected Enterprise wind mill on his claim north west of town for the convenience of th < town herd. He is agent for the Enter prise in this county and asks an inspec tion of the working of the same. The post office is being remodeled the boxes being placed across the roon instead , of along the side as formerly J. P. Israel .occupies one side with : stock of fancy groceries.

He has come with the intention of giving , chase to the wild horses at the head of the Willow.
