A large addition is being built on to

The Oberlin papers are in favor of a

if not , why not ?
The round-up commences at. the head

large number of cattle and horsemen
will be on the ground.
While entertainments take some

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

and was the source of endless amuse
ment , as a wild pony can go through
about as many antics before submitting

animal we know of. Quite a numbei
of them were sold , " and we hope tht
sales will continue as contemplated ,
every Saturday. .

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 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

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 ?
