This makes the third residence now being Iniilt on that hand some location. Among the young men who have re cently come into this county , with means and vim , we mention J. P. Squire. Mr. Squire has a place on Driftwood , that he is fixing up comfortably , and upon which is running some cattle. A handsome writing desk , having n high back containing the cards of many of our business men , has been put in the B. & M. Eating House office , the work bears the name of J. H.

The Fanny Davenport combination passed through this station , west bound , Sunday. Such a , rare aggregation of curiosities as the one to be seen on the platform , and in the B. & M. lunoh room , is unusual even to the bucolic optic. optic..We .We direct the attention of the ladies of our city to the fact that the family of J. W. Ho well is in urgent need of their kind ministration. We ieel assur ed that to state the fact will call forth immediate action. The case is sad and most urgent. Lytle Bros , have just received the most complete assortment of Heating Stoves ever brought into Red Willow County ; including the latest styles of Base Burners. A complete assortment of Soft Coal Burners. Wood Heating Stoves of all descriptions. The 47 cattle company's outfit drove a bunch of yearling steers recently pur chased by that company , up to their ranch west of here , Sunday.

Lewis on Main avenue , is a fine and complete establishment in its entire equipment. The hall is furnished with new tables and the latest in the way of patent racks and the like. It would do our more pretentious cities proud. Many a sweet little babe has gone to the grave by breathing unhealthy air , exhaled by its parents.

A sad and fatal accident occurred neai Trenton , Tuesday evening , in which Frank Kridelbaugh , a young man in the bridge service , had both legs cut off , which resulted in death , the same even ing. No. 84 was carrying some timber for a bridge near Trenton , and the young man , who was on the freight , started to go from the train into the caboose , where his tools were , and in so doing slipped and fell between the cars , with the re sult above mentioned. The victim of this sad affair is a brother of the agent at Orleans , and had been married but two weeks , Wednesday. His remains were taken to Prescott , Iowa , on Wednesday. McCook is putting on metropolitan airs and we are delighted that it is able to do so. It has some of the finest build ings in the state and soon will have a "city cooler , ' ' a place where the over heated may go in and cool off. The land office is doing a rushing business , and long before the land office is open a crowd of land suckers may be seen thronging the doorway leading to that Mecca of the land-hungry.

The roller skating rink opened up on West Dennison Street , last Saturday .evening , as announced , and has been a gaatifying source of healthful exercise and pleasurable amusement to many during the past week. The floor is of hard maple and makes an excellent , smooth surface , over which the skates arc inclined to roll faster than the skat ers are disposed to go. The Manager L. Bragg , has secured the services of an expert skater , who will appear at the rink , and give an exhibition on Satur day evening. If you desire to see some fine roller skating , don't miss this oppor tunity. The report of the McCook Land Office for the quarter commencing July 1st and ending September 30th , makes a fine showing for this office. C8G homestead entries , comprehending 108- 787.32 acres of land , 707 timber cul ture entries , disposing of 111,543.96 acres of the public domain , were taken , and 339 pre-emption filings , 35 home stead filings , and 48 final home proofs were made. This office has from its establishment made the maximum fees , contrary to the expectations of many , and the rush continues. At the pres ent rate of entry , it will not require many months to absorb all the available government land in this part of the state. One or two of our subscribers , who are annoyed by parties borrowing their paper before they have perused it them selves , have been importuning us to give the matter some attention. The follow ing fable comes to mind and strikes us as being peculiarly apropos : "One day a traveller was overtaken in the woods by a big thunderstorm and for want of a better shelter crawled into a hollow log. But the rain soaked and swelled the log and naturally enough the hole in the log became smaller , squeezing the man in so tightly he could not extricate himself. He tried frantically to get out , but in vain. He cried for help , but none came. He then began to think over his past life. The first horrid re- membranee that came to him in his crit ical condition was that he had never tak en his county paper , and had got the news by borrowing the paper from his neighbor. This made him feel so little that he slipped out of the log without a bit of trouble. The next time he went to town he subscribed for the county paper and paid for it in advance. " The public schools opened up on Monday morning , in our elegant new school house , with Prof. Stephenson as principal , Miss Alice Murphy ) teacher of the intermediate department , and Miss Jennie Jamison , in the primary room. The first part of the week was necessarily absorbed in arranging and classifying , and putting the different departments in working order. The at tendance at the out-start is considerably larger than the highest number enrolled last year , and will be largely augmented during the coming week. Just here allow us to make this suggestion to parents : It will be a great assistance to the teachers and advantageous to the children to commence going to school at the start and not wait until consid erable progress has been made by the prompt ones. It is not easy to make up lost time. Now , a few words con cerning our new building , etc. We can truthfully claim for our structure that it is one of the neatest , best-arranged and most artistic school buildings west of Hastings. The building contains 3 rooms , 2 on the first floor , and 1 on the second , with a recitation room opening into the same. The rooms on the first floor , as above , are provided with cloak rooms , are well-lighted , convenient and cosy. The principal's room is one of the best adapted audience rooms in the town. The building reflects great credit on its contractor , J. F. Collins , and upon S. W. Johnson , who designed it ; and we do not question but that the tax-payers , school board and building committee are remembered by the chil dren , who spent last winter in the church building , in their devotions. The public schools have entered upon what , with all the advantages enjoyed , ought to be , and doubtless will be a successful session. lOc. will buy an American dog at Metropolitan Drug Store.
