looked too palpable.
A party from Fillmore county were

It would be a great accommodation
to the people of McCook and vicinity
if this office was a postal note office.
Indianola , we believe , already enjoys
that advantage. Will a petition for

We hope it will. We ought to have it.

Lew Ginger gave his entertainment
n McCook , Tuesday evening , to a small ,
nit appreciative audience. Mr. Ginger
was laboring under a number of disad
vantages , but we arc informed by par
ties who were in attendance that they
were well pleased. His description of
the battles of Missionary Bidge and

Young men , the following hygienic
suggestion to your ice cream levin <
sweethearts may be beneficial to youi
port monnaie : "Milk in the maim
facture of ice cream is first boiled ant
afterward partly congealed. In tlu
boiling a lacteal acid of bacterioj is sel
free that , uniting with a phpo-sulphip (
of butcric oxide , again solidifies as r
bisulphide of stumokakc in the congeal
ing. This , when taken into the system
produces pcritonital cramps , frequently
ending fatally. "
Prof. Morton of McPherson Normal
School , situated at Bcpublican City ,
made us a pleasant call during his visit
in McCook , last Friday. The Professoi
informs us that their faculty is com
plete , and their instruction will be
thorough and comprehensive , and that
the necessity for sending children to
the eastern part of the state to have
them educated no longer exists. They
will teach any branch , and have the
corps of instructors to do so as thor
oughly as can be done anywhere in the
state. They expect to start out in Sep
tember with 100 pupils. The people
of Republican City seem to be deeply
in earnest about the school.
At the conclusion of Catholic services
in the Opera House on last Sunday' ,
there was a meeting of the gentlemen
of the congregation , presided over by
Father Clery , pastor. The object of
this meeting was to take steps to erect
a suitable edifice for Divine worship in
our city. A building committee , con
sisting of Messrs. Farley , Fruin , Wai-
ace , Golfer and Phelan , was chosen and
instructed to take immediate steps for
lie erection of a suitable church , the
selection of a site , the collection of
'unds , etc. A subscription list was
started and within an hour nearly § 500
was subscribed. It is the intention to
erect a neat , gothic structure , that will
) e a credit to our city. Work will be
gin at once.
Passenger train No. 40 , going cast
on Saturday P. M. of last week , con
tained a number of prominent C. , B. &
J. officials , who were returning from a
trip to Denver and the mountains.
Prominent amongst them were Percival
jowcll , Esq. , General Passenger Agent
C. , B. & Q. , Chicago ; T. W. Lee , Esq. ,
Chief Advertising Department , Chicago ;
J. M. Bcchtcl , Esq. , General Agent ,
Peoria ; C. C. Merrill , Esq. , Traveling
Passenger Agent , Indianapolis , Ind. ,
ind several other prominent officials
vhose names we were unable to learn.
) uring the short stay of the train here ,
most of these gentlemen improved the
ime in signing applications for timber
claims. They were well pleased with
ippcarance of our city.
The keepers of gambling dens at In-
lianola were recently pulled up before
he authorities and each fined § 50.
Correct , eminently correct. Had not
hesc gamblers over-reached themselves
o badly when they fleeced that individ-
lal so outrageously , recently , the nrin-
ons of the law would probably not have
cached them so soon nor struck theme
o hard. We are similarly afilicted in
our town , and would hail as the initia-
ion of an era of reform just such ac-
ion on the part of authorities as has
aken place at the county-seat. We
lave been informed of parties who
gamble aAvay their wages to such an
extent that their families suffer for lack
of food. We were given the name of
one such person , last month , who play-
d 48 hours continously almost and his
'amily were in want. We don't pry
iround in this matter , consequently only
enow what is given us gratuitously ,
vhich may or may not be authentic ,
lad we positive proofs we would give
he man's name , for any person who
vill be guilty of doing as our informant
ays , is the most contemptible piece of
lumau fleh of which it is possible to
onceive. Even a coyote will protect
nd provide for his offspring.
Three out of the six resolutions am
preambles drafted at the Institute ar
"cards" of thanks to our honored con
temporary , and but for the silent re
minder in the last resolution , "that :
copy of these resolutions SHALL appea
in the Courier , " we would be pleased t
give them to our readers. A short ac
count of the proceedings appear in thi
issue , through courtesy of Supcrintcn
dent Nettleton.
Notorious Quigley and Inebriate *
Sutherland of hulianola , called to sei
us , Saturday. Both were up to attcm
the race. "Quig" managed to depor
himself in a commendable , gentlemanly
manner , but Sutherland , in his anxiety
to "furnish THE TRIBUNE an item , '
became top heavy and confused. II <
missed the afternoon train , and wa :
compelled to remain here- until Sunday
afternoon. If we had a cooler , we an
inclined to think fewer people would
come to McCook to get drunk for fui
"just to give THE TRIBUNE an item. '
Our energetic roadmaster , J. R. Phe
Ian , spent a night at Stratton , last week
and during the course of the night IK
received two different visits from a noc
turnal perambulator , who it seems , waj
intent upon having the ' 'extra change1
that might be found in Mr. Phelan's
pa'ntaloons. Mr. Phelan was occupy
ing a room on the first floor , and the
midnight marauder entered at the rais
ed window , awakening J. R. in doing
so , who made an outcry and the would-
be burglar fled , only to return .again
after awhile , and make arrangements
for getting in at the window. At about
this stage of the proceedings our worthy
roadmaster became somewhat interested
and we might add warm , and the in
truder being armed and the intruded
upon not being so , and there being noth
ing in the room save the couch upon
which he was sleeping , Mr. Phelan
made a hasty toilet and proceeded to
investigate matters a little without
finding any game. After returning and
retiring again , he heard the party re
turn , and go up stairs ano turn in for
the night. The next morning Mr. Phe
lan interviewed one of the section hands
and made it clear as with an electric
light to his mind to leave the coun
try. The s. h. didn't wait long on the
order of his going , but , without even
waiting for his time , made tracks to
ward bleeding Kansas at an O'Leary
gait.

A young individual giving the name
of Burdette Fry , hired a team at Ol
cott's barn , Monday of last week , for
the ostensible purpose of going to Indi
anola to attend the County Institute
then in session at that place , but for
the real purpose , as subsequent actions
indicate , of getting away with the team ,
selling the same , and realizing some
cash of which he possessed none. He
drove to Indianola , and remained there
until Wednesday morning , putting on
no inconsiderable amount of dog in the
meantime , buying farms , and otherwise
amusing himself. Wednesday morning
he informed the Short boys that he was
going out to West's to perfect arrange
ments for purchasing his farm , and
started in that direction and finally
put up in Oxford , GO miles distant , the
same evening. At this point he also
made the purchase of several town lots ,
and was contracting for the lumber for
a large building which he purposed
erecting. By this time , the Short boys
became suspicious that all was not
square , and sent word to Mr. Olcott as
to the case , and he , with John Short
started after him on the train , corraling
the thief at Oxford. The youngster
told so many conflicting stories as to
make all of his statements worthless.
He had a hearing before Judge Ash-
more , Monday morning. He made no
defense , acknowledging the statements
of the witnesses against him to be true ,
and was bound over to the next term
of District Court , his bond being placed
at $1,000 , and being unable to give the
same , he was placed in the hands of
Sheriff Welborn for safe keeping. He
was dead broke , and assumed the air
and role of a capitalist to procure cred
it with which he succeeded in jump
ing board tills , livery hire , etc. He will
be given a season for reflection in the
pen. Judge Gaslin is loaded for horse
thieves.

Mr. Henry T. Church lost his pocket-book ,
containing about $ W In cash and u more val-
uublo note , Sunday , on his way from the Vv'H-
low to McCook. Ho went buck over the way
the Fume day but fulled to Hud It , and return
ed to thin place until Monday morning , when
ho again made senrch and found the pocket-
Jjook minus the cash , but still containing the
note. He has a. pretty good Idea who got the
money , but from the lack of evidence , other
than circumstantial , will not prosecute the
mutter further. This makes the third or
fourth Instance wherein the stolen pocketbook -
book turned up minus the "dust. "
In reference to the above I wish testate
state some circumstances connected
with Mr. Church's pocket-book ; Mon
day morning , July 14th , I started early
for the Willow for a load of wood , the
weather was very damp , there being
quite a heavy mist falling. After driv
ing about 3 miles I met Mr. Church and
Mr. Shepherd , having had a slight ac
quaintance with both gentlemen , I stop
ped and talked with them a few mo
ments , and as 1 was about to drive on
Mr. Church said he had lost his pocketbook -
book the day before somewhere between
his house and Mr. Sovenkcr's. We were
then abgut 2 miles north of Scvcnker's
and he requested me to look for it as T
was going over the same road. I drove
about 2 miles when Mr Church over
took me going toward home ; I asked
him if he had found his pockut-book.
He said he had but the money was gone
and went on to say that he found it in
plain sight and wondered that I did not
see it as my wagon track showed that I
had driven right over it and he further
stated that it was almost entirely dry.
A fact in connection with the fact that
he had looked the same ground over
thoroughly the night Before , led him to
think that it had been picked up the
night before and placed there that morn
ing again , lie also said that Mr. Shep
herd had gone on to town to see what
lie could do and he came back to talk
to me , as my wagon was the only one to
Ins personal knowledge that ha/1 been
over the road since he lost his pocket-
book. 1 told Mr. Church that he was
at perfect liberty to examine myself or
my pocket-book or take any other step
lie choose to. that I could say under oath
that I never saw his pocket-book , that
I never was as far north on the Willow
road as Mr. Sevenkcr's house before
that morning and that I could prove
my whereabouts all day Sunday and
Sunday night. If these are the circum
stances alluded to in the above as cir
cumstantial evidence they are neverthe
less facts and I am without further
defence. B. BROWN.
