A general invitation is ex- I tended. f Quite a number of fights and consid erable drunkenness in town , this week. Does anyone.think a little enforcement of law would work any harm in our city ? Let UB risk it. j i The bill reducing the population re quired to incorporate as.a city of the t second class from1,500 to 1,000 has become a law , and McCook is now enti tled to incorporate as such.

The rye was hauled in and the cars loaded from the wagons. Our streets presented the appearance of an old-time grain ship ping point during the day. Parties coming from the east remark upon the beautiful weather we are now enjoying. While they have an abund ance of snow and ice in the east , here farmers are plowing and engaging in other spring work. The contrast is in deed very favorable'to Nebraska. As in every other trait , McCook 'is the best ' 'show town,1' to use the term of the profession , in the Republican Yal- ley. Shu has supplemented sweet- voiced , mild-eyed charity a number of times this season by assisting finan cially demoralized combinations.

For information inquire of J. P. Squire , 6 miles S. W. of MeCook. One of the most abominable nuisan ces in connection with theatre-going is the eternal going and coming of a few thirsty sons of thunder , who are not able to abstain from drink untill "the opera is over. " Can't some philan thropic soul patent a portable bar ? BRICK J. F. Collins has formed a partnership with Harvey Whitaker in the brick business , and they will burn 400,000 and more if their is a greater demand. Mr. Collins is also prepared to con tract for brick buildings complete. Brick in wall at about $10.50 per thou sand. Donavins' Tennesseeans sang to a full house , la t Friday evening , in their us ual satisfactory style. The members of this troupe form a most harmonious chor us ; and , notwithstanding they do sing many time-worn melodies , their sweet voices and style of rendition , makes even the Swanee River acceptable. Freight train No. 83 , Tuesday , had a very valuable car load of horses for the Percheron-Norrnan Co. , whose ranch is near .Hudson , Colo. The hoVses were in a special stock car. and represented $40,000.

Bos- worth , wife of A. S. Bosworth of the Culbertson Sun , which occurred yester day at 1 o'clock , of nervous prostration. Mr. Bosworth has the sincere sympathy of the community. The pisr-catching affair at the West Dennison street rink , Wednesday night , did not pan-out very largely. The pig was pounced upon by a man of about 200 avoirdupois , so suddenly that his pigship was paralyzed and became an easy victim. A CORRECTION. Jos.

A very pleasant entertainment was given on the night of the 4thinst. _ , by the scholars of School District No. 41 , ( Miss Belle Hickling , teacher , ) consist ing of Declamations , Dialogues , Tab leaux and Singing. Considering the fact that some of those who were to take part were absent , the program was well rendered. B. The way that subscriptions and job work are coming in is a pleasing recog nition of our efforts to give the people of Red Willow county a paper worthy of their support , and a job office that gives satisfaction. We take pride in stating that the work from THE TRIB UNE presses cannot be excelled in the Republican Valley , in price or work manship. Thus shall we strive on. A meeting of all our business men , who are interested in a flour mill , is called to meet at THE TRIBUNE office , to-morrow , ( Friday evening ) at 8 o'clock , central time. Mr. McKay , who is figur ing on putting in the mill , asks that our business men raise $1,000 to assist in defraying the freight on the mill and in helping to put the same up. If our citizens want a mill , and think it will be of any advantage to the business interests of our town , let them turn out and assist to the best of their ability in securing its location here.

The usual quietude of our town was broken one day this week by a "states man" from McCook , who had imbibed too copiously of an effusion commonly known as fire-water. CulbcrtBon Sun. Commissioner Blume is in receipt of a letter from parties in Omaha , request ing information concerning teams , to be at McCook on a certain day. They are Germans , and will locate around Herndon - don and Ludell. Ludell Settler. The McCook TRIBUNE deserves praise for exposing parties who are in the hab it of exercising fraud in locating strang ers. The same paper exhibits a ring of the true metal when it denounces the numerous and flagrant violations of law in that place. Ludell Settler. Messrs. Ivcs & Gaylord , of Omaha , who fed a largo herd of cattle about MX miles cast of Crete last winter , have purchased a stock ranch in Kansas , about twenty-five miles south of Benkleman , on the B. & M. , and have organized a company with a capital of $250,000 with which to stock their ranch. Crete Globe. The current issue of the Frontier Co. Faber contains the following bit of sar casm : If a man holds to a different opinion on any subject from the one you entertain it is the proper thing to call him a crank. It is the most convincing argument you can use and all the by standers will bo ready to swear that you couldcn't possibly be a crank. Mr. Mathcs has returned to McCook , to take possession of the furniture store he recently puachased there. Mr. Mathes is one of the best business men ever in Atwood , and we wish him con tinued success and prosperity in the new venture ho is making at McCook.

THE river bridges at Oxford , Alma , Naponee , Franklin , one at Orleans and at this place have been swept away by the ice. When the bridge at Oxford went out there weie four persons on it but they got out unhurt. The mill dam at Orleans was'swept away. A number of our citizens did what they could to save the bridge but were not successful. Bonds will have to be voted and a new bridge built. Republican City Topic. BOSTON has had a surprise and a shock. It commenced in the ofiice of the Atlantic , now presided over by Mr. Aldrich. A slightly built young lady entered the office and demanded an in terview with the editor. Mr. Aldrich posed himself for the ordeal , but nearly jumped out of his boots when the lady introduced the subject by remarking , "I am Charles Egbert Craddock. " The name has become very familiar all over the land within the past few months since the publication of "In the Tennes see Mountains , " and there has been a great deal of gossip about the unknown young man supposed to be , from his familiarity with law , a young lawyer of the south who was building up a new school of literature. Not a single soul , including the Atlantic men who publish ed the first productions of the rising star in the south ever dreamed that Charles Egbert was a female. 5Tet so she is. He turned out to be Mids Murfree , the daughter of Mr. A. L. Murfree of St. Louis , formerly of Murfreesboro , Tenn. The young lady was immediately given a dinner , to which the literati of the hub were invited , and is the lioness of the day. St. Louis will have a big time when she comes back , and will chal lenge Chicago to measure feet with her and take a new enumeration of the cen sus , forthwith. Journal. Twenty persons slept on the floor of the waiting room at tbo station , Wednes day night The town is literally crowd ed with emigrants and settlers , who bunk in wagons , sheds and where not ?
