We desire to call attention to the fact that we have just received a large stock of new job type , and are prepared to execute your job work in an artistic and workmanlike manner. We hear very little if anything about the fair , this fall. We understood that arrangements were being made to have a printed premium list , but we have heard or seen nothing of it yet. That owl with the benign counte nance of a chimpanzee , which smiled so blandly tipon those who entered the postofficc after mail , has gone the way of the righteous having become too esthetic to eat. The primary election , Saturday , was a little more exciting than usual. The electioneering was quite brisk , and a large vote polled , 201. The delegation sent from this precinct appears else where in this issue. George Weingart , who is now located at McCook , this state , was in the city , August 7th.

Jos. MENARD. A great many of the best consumers of Lois' German Baking Powder com menced using it out of curiosity , seeing it advertised so extensively. But when once they tried they have continued its use. Leis German Baking Powder is a pure grape Cream Tartar. Sold by C. [ . Rogers. The attaches of THE TRIBUNE office - , are under obligation to Mrs. Rowell for a present of delicious blackberries. They were sent by express from Mt. l Ayr , Iowa , by sons of Mrs. Rowell , and f arrived in excellent condition , and made a toothsome delicacy to those who have not tasted the berry for years. We hear of a very disastrous prairie a fire , which occurred on the Brush ranch northwest of here. ' The territory burn ed over is reported as being thirty miles wide and forty miles long , which , tak ing into consideration the large number of cattle the range has been feedin , puts the Brush outfit in bad shape in C deed for feeding. A little "bout , " Marquis of Goose berry's rules , in which Messrs. Cruts and Haining were respectively imper sonating John L. and French } ' , occur red in the neighborhood of THE TRIB UNE office , Saturday. The slugging had the appearance of being vigorous , but neither of the participants were much the worse for the wear and tear of such warfare. Conductor Harvey , of the B. & M. , who runs between Red Cloud and Den ver , and so well known by the travel ling public as one of the most courteous and accommodating conductors in the employ of the Q. , purchased of Irwin & John , of this place , the fore part of the week , a quarter section of land miles northwest of towruCambridge Monitor. People are conrlng into this country rapidly. Don't fail to recommend your local paper. No * . ? is a good time to subscribe at the3 entrance upon the Presidential campaign. People should be interested in the state , district and county elections as well and ought to take THE TRIBU NE to keep themselves posted as to the situation. The delegates to the respective con ventions , this fall , arc in hard luck , as will be seen by reference to notice to be found in the first column of our edi torial page. The usual passes will not we forthcoming according to the afore said notice , but the delegates to the different conventions will receive reduc ed rates by application to local agents. Make a note of this. This office received a friendly call from an individual who has been lin gering around McCook for a number of weeks drinking until he has become half crazed , who , by reason of an imag inary wrong done him , was fondly desir ous of initiating us into the mysteries of the pugilistic world. We had an over-weaning desire to expectorate on it , and drown it , but did not "want to stain the virgin soil of our city with human gore. A very pleasant party was given by Misses Jennie and Nellie Fisher to a number of friends , Friday evening. A most enjoyable ( and hilarious ) evening was passed with cards , dancing , singing and other pleasurable pastimes , and augmented as it was by refreshing ice cream , lemonade and cake , the cup of pleasure well it bubbled over. We noted the presence of the smiling coun tenances of the following persons : Misses Dell , Ida and Josie Menard , Mamie Hunt. Mabel Meserve and Ida Hollistcr , of our town , and Belle Buck- worth and Carrie Ashmore of Indianola , Messrs. J. F. Forbes , F. L. McCracken , Fred Harris and Frank Harris , of our town , and Ed. Leavcnworth and Samuel Ashmore of Indianola. Nursery agents are active this season , each claiming to represent the best nursery. In choosing which to pur chase from , it is well to remember that the Crete Nurseries , Crete , Neb. , are located on the main line of the B. & M. R. R. , only a few hours from our doors. They have by far the largest nursery in the state ; they offer of their own growth one hundred and twenty acres of trees and plants suited to Nebraska. They employ at this time over forty hands and pay over one thousand dollars monthly for labor. This money is kept in circulation in the state. They are within reach and compelled by ordinary business prudence to have stock true to name. Working their agents on salary instead of commission , they can sell cheaper than other nurseries , running men on commission. They have been in the business at Crete twelve years and can point to hundreds of fine bear ing orchards planted from their trees. Our readers should notice their offer in another column to those who will pur chase one hundred dollars or more , giv ing a free ride to the nursery and back. The wagon road between McCook and Indianola about discounts the tortuous passages of the ancient catacombs. You proceed a short distancewhen , you strike a barb-wire fence , and iipon a post or some other convenient article in the ; neighborhood you will probably be able : to decipher and translate the following suggestive very suggestive sign : "CLOSED. " Well you turn down into some perilous gullie , and proceed short distance on the even tenor of rour way , when a like experience is met with , and so until you approach the Willow , and from there on the road is good. Not only is the travelling pub lic interested in having a half respecta ble road from McCook to Red Willow , but our business men are greatly inter ested , and steps should be taken at ' once to straighten out the miserable / cow path that now goes under the dig- , uificd title of road , and put the same in repair. If the public are infringing on personal rights along the road , have the road established by the County Com missioners , and. if , on the other hand , parties are obstructing the public high way , have that matter settled. What- 2ver the cause of the present miserable road leading to the county-seat from this point may be , the fact of its out rageous condition remains , and it ought to be remedied. This question of purity in our Baking Powder is agitating the minds of the pee . ple. But why let this question enter ; four mind ? Why not use Leis' Ger man Baking Powder , and thereby encour- ige the sale and manufacture of a pure irticle ? Sold by C. H. Rogers. Republican .County Convention.

I am now prepared to offer Flour and Mill Feed in exchange for Wheat , and am also prepared to buy grain to ship , July 5 , ' 84-Cm. CLARK WARD. THE people of Wisner , this state , have voted $4,000 bonds for the con struction of a system of water-works. When we consider that the plant in McCook cost $30,000 , we are led to wonder how extensive Wisner's system , will be. WE hear of a young lady who had been badly poisoned by wearing cheap colored stockings. This should be a warning to the girls. Look not upon the gaudy hosiery when it is red , and moveth aright for at last it biteth liku an adder and stingeth worse than a yel low jacket at a Sunday school picnic. DURINU the month of July there were 170 fires in the United States which de stroyed property valued at $10,000 and upwards. It is estimated that the prop erty destroyed in this country and Cana da during , the past month amounted in value to $8,800,000. It was a disas trous month to the insurance companies. IT has been decided in New York courts that if a man chokes his house keeper because the potatoes arc too small , she has a legal right to empty a cup of waim tea over his person. Un fortunately the housekeeper in the case lid not atlempt to have the question set tled as to the right of her employer to choke her on account of the diminutive size of the "taters. This is a point of considerable interest , and should be le gally adjudicated at the earliest conven- renient moment. We trust it will be -allcd to the attention of the marshal of Dmaha for at least an ex-parte decision , is his war on the Mother Hubbard dress uarkshim a man who gives special study o the little domestic questions hereto fore too much neglected by the law.
