The remainder of the Lytle Bros. ' herd of cattle has been purchased by Josiah Thomas. They were driven from their pasture , south of the river , Satur day , to range on the Medicine. We call the attention of our readers to the advertisement of our new drug firm , appearing in this issue. Messrs. J ohnson & Spalding are proprietors , and .are running on a new and approved plan. The best shipment of stock we have heard of this fall , is that one of the three circle outfit , W. II. H. Cranmer , ' who shipped 800 head of steers to Chicago cage and received $40 per head , or § 32,000. Days aud nights of restlessness are . caused by the use of Baking Powders j j containing ammonia.

Rogers. ; I Let the people of this county make ' the success of the fair a personal mat- 1 tor , and turn out. exhibit the fruits of ; the field , stock , etc. , and give themselves j and families . In this j j a holiday. case , success is assured. We are requested to call a meeting of old soldiers at THE TRIWJ.NE office , on Thursday , October 2d , for the pur pose of organizing a G. A. R. Post in ! McCook. A full attendance of old soldiers - . diers is earnestly desired. j The J. B. Meservc mare has been purchased by a Mr. Parmetcr , a cattleman - man of DcWitt , thi.s state. Some of the boys will have to put their bronchos in training for the trotting race at the fair , friend Sibbctt must be accommo dated. ! | Those who have subscribed toward the new church are respectfully request- cd loj'urthcr aid the cause by calling onV. \ . F. Wallace , Treasurer of the Building Committee , and paying in one- half the amount subscribed and -take a receipt for it. We notice that milk maid sociables arc fashionable , and we hope that Mc- Cook's charming daughters will soon authorize the announcement of such a social event. Our girls in the habili- ments of the milk maid would set the average cow-boy distracted. Our handsome'school building is now almost complete will be entirely so next week , when we will give a more extended , description of the same. Mr. Collins i , the contractor , and Mr. John son i , the draughtsman and designer of the i building , are to be congratulated on i their work. It is currently reported that A. W. Iluntley. an extra B. & M. freight con ductor , who recently had a house com pleted in West McCook , which lie has been occupying for some time , has shak en the dust of our town from his gar ments , leaving behind him a number of unpaid bills. Departing between days is fashionable , if not honorable. Remember the musical recital at the Opera LTall , Saturday evening , Sept. 27th , by Mrs. Vincent's scholars from Orleans , Alma. Arapahoe and Indian ola. in conjunction with her students in McCook. Much time has been occupied in preparation for this event by Mrs. Vincent and her scholars and a full house will doubtless greet them. A stout 11-lb. young Scotchman of the Campbell clan put in his appearance at Supt. Campbell's residence , last Thursday night , and the young man has already assumed a position in the house hold 1 , and laid claim to considerable attention. We feel inadequate to thft task of portraying the frame of mind v . into which the event has thrown our Superintendent. ( The plans and spi'uiiications for our elegant new school building and La- , Tourette's hardware store were drawn . bMr. I . Johnson , foreman tor J. F. Col- , lins. ] and reflect ureat credit on Mr. J. as : a visin drauhtsman , alert and am bitious to excel in his line. Mr. John son is now ut work on the plans for the proposed Catholic church , and an artis tic house of worship is assured. Wo wish to call particular attention to the fact that the management of the county fair have designated Friday , the 3d inst. , as children's day. It is pro posed to have all the children of the 1 a county present to meet at the school house in Indianola and form and march to the fair grounds , where suitable pro gram will be enacted. Remember the children , and take them to the fair. Twenty-two car loads , containing some 400 head of stock , pulled through this station , last Thursday avening. Seven car-loads were destined for Chicago cage , and the remainder were shipped to Friend and other points in the east ern part of the state , where they will be fed until spring , and then shipped to Chicago. These steers came off the P Frenchman range , from the herds of c the Paxton Cattle Co. , W. W. Fisher , iin Lou Armacost. E. N. Webster and n others. n Having sold my mare I now offer my buggy for sale very cheap. J. B. MESERVE. i ti We arc iriformcd that there was a gentleman in town , this week , trying to perfect arrangements for building a large skating rink ; but , that on account of the high price asked for the lot he desired , the matter was not consumma ted. As between paying $800 for a lot here , and getting one for nothing at In dianola , he would prefer risking the lat ter point. 'Tis ' a pity that nothing short of the whole world will satisfy some. Prof. Yager , well and favorably ( ? ) known in McCook , engaged his valua ble services to the circus , which showed at this point , last Monday a week , and in departing forgot to leave behind a cornet , the property of M. A. Spalding. Constable McCormick followed the Professor down the road to one. of the near stations and compelled him to make restitution. Having complied , the con stable allowed him to proceed on his way unmolested. So , long , Charles , but ' we will miss our whistling corner ornament. The sequel to the Black Wallin law-suit ] has occupied the1 public atten tion i for some days. The ball opened up with music slow and lights red , last , Thursday , and continued over until Monday 1 , when , after two juries had failed to agree , the suit was dissmisscd by J. F. Black's counscL The ques tion that now agitates the court is , "who shall pay the costs of this prose cution T And this is also a vital ques tion I to the weary jurors , as well. The costs were not secured at the commence ment i of the trial , and there payment is in doubt. Br bills sent to this office from Or leans we are informed that a soldiers re-union will be held at that place on Thursday , October 2d , and a general invitation is extended to the members of the different G. A. R. posts in the Republican Valley to be present. It is purposed to hold a meeting Thursday afternoon , and to select a time and place for holding yearly re-uuions of the old soldiers of the Valley. A number of prominent speakers will be present and the people of Orleans , we are assumed , are doing all in their power to insure a good time. Again are we called upon to refer to the demoralized state of the road lead ing from here to Indiuuola. A gentle man and friend started , last week , for the hitter town , and by reason of the fencing and moving of the road became entangled and lost , and being unac quainted with the country , spent four or five hours wandering around through the large canyons. Jfow , if it is intend ed that this public highway shall re main in this disgraceful condition , we make a motion that a guide be employ ed by the proper authorities to pilot the weary , wandering travelers along this tortuous road to their destination. We take this last occasion to remind the people of Red Willow county that the county fair , the success of which depends mainly upon their individual efforts , will be held at Indiauola on Thursday , Friday and'Saturday of next week , the 2d , 3d and 4th of October , and to further suggest that our people turn out in as large numbers as possi ble , with the products of the farm , in which they have been abundantly bless ed this year , and witji their cattle , horses , pigs , chickens , etc. , attend this . year's fair. Red Willow county , in all probability , never reaped a more boun tiful harvest , aud never has been in bet ter shape to make a good showing than she is enabled to make at our coming fair , and the opportunity should not be lost , nor allowed to pass unnoticed. So come with yom ; families , and help make this our best fair. i One of the Oberlin freighters indulg ed in too much "red cj'e , " Monday ; and as a result met with an accident that we feel safe in saying will make him wiser if it will not increase his store of material things. He was loading up his $ wagon preparatory to returning to Ober- lin , and had the same pretty well filled . with fine furniture , coffins , etc. , and in- discretely left his team standing by the depot platform , -while he meandered down the yard. While he was at the other end of the freight track , an en gine came by "blowing off" steam. The team started up Main street , scattering furniture , coffins and all pell-mell and promiscuously , and damaging the same considerably. The team were caught \ \ Constable's livery yard. Such is the o nature of stimulants of that character , man never indulges in them but to his loss. ( To be continued. ) All kinds of blanks kept for sale at this office. m Considerable rivalry has existed be tween the Arapahoe mid Indianola base ball clubs , and each club having won one game , these clubs met at Arapahoe , last Friday afternoon , for the purpose of deciding the championship. Im pressed with an unwarrantable desire for gore or glory , and profoundly fear ful lest the Indianolas should get awa } with them , the Arapahoe boys securci the services of Stein and Dallas , th battery of the Hastings { 'Reds , " am proceeded to give the Indianola boys "bait" in the opening inning by allow ing them to make 4 runs. But the In dianolas "smelled a mice" and discrete } retained their good money in their "jeans , " much to the disgust of the Arapahoes , who had hoped to regain the $400 or $500 dropped by them on othci occasions , and which Indianohi had ad ded to her coffers. Finding the day t poor one for "suckers , " the Arapahoes did the club from the county-scat up in the most approved style of the art , making 23 runs to Indianola's 4. We know from observation that the Arap ahoe boys enjoyed the occasion highly , but the fact remains to the discredit of that club , that they lacked the principl of fairness a principle in high repute in this country. The fact that they hired foreign assistance is an uncon scious acknowledgement that Indian ola's club was superior to their own. The deal certainly was not fair , and was unbecoming boys we know the Arapa hoes to be. An estimate of the quantity of wheat and rye for sale in the Hungarian set tlement on the Beaver , in Decatur and Rawlins counties , has recently been tak en , and the amount placed at 100,000 bushels. There i ? , however , no accessi ble market for the grain , and the need of a railroad is felt more this year than ever before. Oberlin Eye. There is no town in the Republican Valley that stands an equal chance of a cross railroad with CuTwertson. Situa ted , as it is , at the mouth of the French man and at the point where the prospec tive road must pass , we may rest assur ed that Culbertson is destined to become a place of considerable importance in ; he near future. Sun. Wymore is feeling proud over having a new , large and conveniently arranged depot. It is two stories high. The low er floor will contain a waiting room , ticket office and freight room. The up- ) er rooms will be cut up into offices one for the road master , one for his as sistant and one .for the telegraph office.

Sold by C. H. Rogers. F. Musso and Thos. Bohrer are about to go into the livery business at Ludell , with the primary object of running a hack to McCook. Better extend the line , boys , to Atwood.
