COMMITTEE.
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.
