There was another peddler in town ,

The business of harvesting is being
carried ou with great energy , as fast as

Hastings had a half-dozen accidents
of a more or less serious nature on our
glorious independence day. To date
we have heard of nothing disastrous
having happened in McCook on the day
we celebrate. There may have been a
death or two from inertia , * though.
The members of the Masonic order
in McCook are making arrangements
to organize a lodge at this plnce. And
we suggest that they ought to take ad

room to enter as , soon as the building
is completed. '
The newspaper man's stock in hand

extensive as will be seen by referring

to see our merchants occupy.
One by one our subscribers who take
THE TRIBUNE at Yailton , drop in and
have their paper addressed to this office ,
complaining that they do not receive
their papers for as long as four weeks

have to come en person and inquire
into this matter , we give it up.
The B. & M. officials have ordered
express agent and others to report at

The Minden cut-off .will be finished this

The M. E. church on Ash Creek-
*
about completed , and the people who
live in that neighborhood and who will
enjoy the- privilege of worshiping within
its walls desire to return their sincere
t *
and heartfelt thanks to the people of
McCook , who , with their usual and ,
proverbial generosity have kindly as
sisted them in the erection of their
house of worship. The sum given by
our citizens was $116.
The many friends of Mr. W. II. Hayden -
den , of this city , offer the following
proposition. They will back Mr. Hayden -
den for any sum from $100 to $500 to
shoot at twenty-five or fifty live birds ,
usual distance , against any bona fide
resident of Adams county. The match
to come off at Hastings within thirty
days. A forfeit of $100 is now up in
the hands of A. S. Campbell , of this
city. Gazette-Journal.
Just allow us to give certain cow
boys , who are in the habit of riding
through the streets of this town at a
break-neck speed , and who also indulge
in that worse and most contemptible
habit of swearing and using vulgar and
obscene language , a little advice. The
fast riding is dangerous and childish ,
and the profanity is unmanly and un-
gentlemanly. If there is any more of
it , their names will be given to the
public and more.
i
The question is frequently asked the
writer what provisions are being made
for a public square a park. If we
knew , we would most gladly give the
information. That we ought to have a
park started we do know , but further
deponent sayeth not. We presume that
the Lincoln Land Company in whose
hands this matter rests , will , not later
than the coming fall , set apart a block
for that purpose , and with our water
facilities McCook ought in a few years
to have a fine public park.
Parties from Kansas have commenced
shipping their wool cast. A number of
wagon loads were hauled from Atwood
for shipment last week , and bright and
early Monday morning another car-load
was on hand from the same town. ' Just
here we will state that the railroad
company does not receive freight on
Sunday. This information may be of
use to those living at a great distance
from this station , and who sometimes
bring their goods for shipment on that
day as was the case this week.
We have in our sanctum a specimen
of corn grown on the Willow by D. J.
Osborn , that is "yust a leedle" bigger
than anything we have sector heard of
this year. Mrs. Osborn informs us that
it is only an average specimen at that ,
and as the stalk stands Si- feet in its
stocken feet ( minus roots > we are led
to remark that the average is powerful.
Mrs. Osborn recently returned from a
week's visit in Lincoln and vicinity ,
and says she saw nothing in that neigh
borhood , nor along the road between ;
here and Lincoln , in the way of crops ,
that can compare with" those of this
section , and this is the testimony of
others.
A painful accident happened to Chas.
Conrad , a passenger brakeman , Satur
day morning. The accident , we are
informed , occurred through carelessness
on the brakeman's part , in passing be
tween the mail car which was being
backed up , and the smoker , for a link.
At any rate his hand was tearfully
mashed , and will never be of much use
to him any more. We presume that at
every re-curring accident of this kind
sage advice is given and words of cau
tion uttered , but these accidents con
tinue to occur , as the army of cripple's
shows , and strange it is , they are usu
ally to be attributed to carelessness on
the part of brakeuien themselves.
Did you ever observe how astonish
ingly voluble and confidential a sport
ing man , whose horse has won a race
becomes. He who previous to the race
was as numb as an oyster , as silent as
the grave , becomes most distressingly
communicative as to the merits and
capabilities of his horse. Why had he
a thousand lives he would have bet them
all. He knew his horse would win , to
be sure , after the race. And then it
inspires a sporting man with confidence
in his town , as witnesseth the following
proud boast of one of our Indianola
friends after a recent victory : "For
liorse racing and foot racing Tndianola
can beat the world , " and there were none
to deny no not one.
The members of the Congregational
church are earnestly requested to be
present at the business meeting of the
church on Saturday at 2 o'clock , P. M.

W. A. Clutc , who has been herding
Mr. Sanders stock , met with quite an
accident , Monday. While riding rapid
ly after an obstreperous steer , bis horse
got both front feet in a hole , throwing
both rider and horse violently to the
ground. W. A.'n arm was sprained and
is very painful , but it is not perfectly
Safe to style him a cow boy yet.
E. S. Hill of Tndianola was bitten
by a rattlesnake , while assisting R. H.
Hamilton in doing some surveying , the
fore part , of the week. He was walk
ing ahead at the time , and as the grass
was pretty high , must have stepped on
his suakcship , who it seems struck him
without giving the usual warning , below
the knee. The usual remedies were
immediately applied , such as tying a
string above the bite , making an incis
ion to make the wound bleed more
freely , applying mud , and a chicken to
the wound , and Mr. Hill started horse
back for Indianola. By the time he
reached that place he was using the
chicken to increase the animals speed.
By a plentiful supply of liquor.the suf
ferer came through all right.
We came very near having a robbery
l erc on the evening of the fourth. The
proprietor of the jewelry store , F. L.
McCracken , was absent from the city ,
and Harry Ryan , his clerk , was playing
the violin at the Opera Hall. Before
leaving the store , Harry had placed a
light in the store and raised the blinds.
In the meantime Mr. McCrackeu re
turned on No. 1 , and having pulled
down the blinds , had retired for the
night. "After the opera was over , "
Harry went down to the store to see
that all was 0. K. , and finding the
blinds down and lights out was greatly
exercised and the report that the jew
elry store- had been again burglarized
was circulated , which was refuted by
the appearance of Mr. McCracken ,
whose peaceful dreams were disturbed
by the racket. Harry was greatly per
turbed at all events , and didn't know
whether he was playing a shin-dig or
the Newport , at the hop which follow
ed the play.
As is well-known , "Fate , " which was
to'have been played by our Dramatic
Company on last Thursday evening ,
was by reason of the inclement weather ,
postponed until the following evening ,
July 4th. The audience was not as
large as was desirable due to the fact
that many of our citizens were away
from town , celebrating , and did not get
home in time to attend. The members
of the company took their parts well
indeed , and played throughout in a very
acceptable manner to the intelligent
audience present. The performers had
their lines well memorized , so as to re
quire little prompting , and no noticea
ble delay , everything passing off smooth
ly and without friction. There was
little of that feeling of ill-at-ease dis
played on the stage , on the contrary
there was a conspicuous absence of that
usual feature of amateur performances.
The Dramatic Company is to be com
plimented on the excellence and smooth
ness of their entertainment. The social
hop which followed the play was fairly
attended the hall being comfortably
full. The dance , which was certainly
a most enjoyable affair , was continued
until 4 o'clock , Saturday morning , when
the dancers reluctantly sought repose.
The Fourth of July in McCook was
a quiet , sombre occasion , wanting only
the chiming of the bells to have made
it an Eastern rural Sabbath. Having
no celebration at this place , a great
many went elsewhere to enjoy the day
we celebrate. Tndianola and Cambridge
each drew largely from our town. The
band and others went to Cambridge and
report an excellent celebration at that
enterprising little village. Indianola
and vicinity were out in holiday attire ,
and with the speeches , horse races , base
ball , picnic , fire-works , and the endless
concomitants of a Fourth of July cele
bration , had a right royal time. The
celebration at Danbury called together
i large number of the enterprising and
successful farmers and stock growers
3f that section , and we are informed
that the day will long be remembered
is a most enjoyable one. The people
of the Upper Driftwood met at the
tfeifert place on that stream , and pass-
3d a very pleasant day. as will be seen
in a communicatio'n from that place.
Culbertson also" : did the honors" the
lay in a manner very complimentary to
its citizens. This is just a little pre
vious , but we promise a rousing cele
bration by McCook next year.
