Thompson now has a deputy postmaster whether he gets the appointment as postmaster or not. The young man made his debut into the society of man , Sunday. THE TRIBUNE has the very best facil ities and workmen for doing Job Work in Southwestern Nebraska. We guar antee neat and tasty work , and entire satisfaction in execution and prices. We would like to see more people follow the example set by C. D. Ercan- bruck in the matter of farming. Mr. Er- canbrack will plant 90 acres to corn , millet , rye , and grass seed this year.

The Chicago Lumber Co. have es tablished a branch yard at Stratton , in Hitchcock county. W. 0. Moody , who has been the company's book-keeper at this point since last spring , went up Monday on 39 , to take charge of the yard. There will be a special meeting , of the W. C. T. U at the residence of Mrs. * CarlClark , Friday afternoon from 2 to 3 o'clock , Mountain time. All mem bers are requested to be , present as business of importance will come be fore the meeting.

A neat little cottage is being built by Mr. Zeigler , ( with Frees & Hocknell ) , on the hill just .north of C. D. Ercan- brack's residence. It differs somewhat in style architecture from the other comfortable homes that adorn that part of our town. The unique in design will still further improve the general appearance. Among the stock turned over by the Baily Bros , to Stokes & Troth is a half- breed Buffalo cow , probably the only one in this country. This cow resembles the Buffalo more than the native cow , but the offspring more nearly resemble natives. Stokes & Troth talk of send ing the animal to Philadelphia , next fall , where it is proposed to exhibit her at the fair then to be held. , > rflv. Notwithstanding the good weather of last month there were about thirty-five head of cattle killed along the railroad this side of IMcCook. Brush Lariat. We direct the attention of the stock men of the southwest to the meeting of the Association at this point , Friday , April , 10,1885. A full attendance is especially desired. We issue a supplement with this week's paper containing a complete di gest of the laws passed by the last sua sion of our legislature. It will be val uable to preserve. The fencing along the B. & M. has proved so satisfactory to the railroad company that , we understand , they are going to extend it along the whole line where stock is ranging. Brush Lariat. REAL ESTATE AND INSURANCE Charlie Boyle has just completed his office , and he is now ready to make out papers , write up insurance , and attend to all notarial work. Charley can be relied upon to do straight business promptly. The second lecture in the course for the benefit of the public school organ fund will be given early in April , the date has not as yet been fixed definite ly. Samuel Phelps Leland of Chicago will deliver one of his celebrated lec tures on the occasion. A rider stationed at Wray , reports the following death rate along Chief creek from Eckley to a point four miles below Wray , on the north side of the railroad : Yearlings , 63 ; two-year-old steers , 15 ; three-year old-steers , 2 ; calves , 5j cows , 4. Forgetting orders very nearly oc casioned what might have been a dis astrous wreck , Sunday evening last , at Indianola. Both conductor and engin- err are men in whom the company has great confidence , and both men feel their situation keenly. CHANGE OP BASIS. William Mc- Quay moved his stock , etc. , to his ranch , four miles west of Culbertson , this week. William has quite a bunch of cattle , and his place just east of town had become too limited to accom modate his stock interests. It is the query on many lips , "Where do all these people go to ? " Every train brings its scores of settlers to our gates , and still there seems to be room for many more. You can't approximate the number of people in this country until you institute a search through the hundreds of canyons that intersect the same. We hear that Fred. Munsinger charg ed with setting out prairie fires south east of here has skipped bail , ( $500) ) and that Sheriff Welborn , with a num ber of Deputies , is scouring the coun try. It appears that Harsh had "peached" and that Munsinger has thought flight the better part of valor. There is some fear of violence. Mun singer is armed to the teeth , and he has already demonstrated that he will shoot. A number of intoxicated hoodlums broke down two doors at the Churchill House , Thursday night last , and raised "Old Ned" generally , to the annoyance and disturbance of the lodgers therein. One of the party also stole an overcoat , which was recovered by the owner , shortly thereafter , and the thief sound ly thumped. Mine host Colvin was around , Friday morning , inquiring as to the condition of the cooler for the reception of guests. The public schools will close on Fri day of next week , theSrdinst. Prepara tions arc being made to have an enter tainment , consisting of reading of a pa per prepared by the scholars , recita tions , declamations , etc. , for the closing hours , in the afternoon. It is especial ly desired that as many of the parents and friends will grace the occasion , as possible. Give encouragement to the teachers , scholars and the cause of ed ucation by indicating your interest by your presence. Mason & Morgan's mammoth Uncle Tom's Cabin appeared at the Opera House last night to a packed house. The piece was well pre sented , and the various characters vrerevcll personated ; the scenic effects were good , and the transformation "Beautiful Gates Ajar" was the most beautiful scene ever presented here. The house was filled to overflowing at the matinee , the largest audience ever assem bled here. The company is made up of ladies and gentlemen , and we bespeak for them a crowded house should they ever return here again. Aurora Beacon. The above company will appear at the Opera Hall , Monday evening , March 30th. Admission , adults , 50c. ; children , 35c. Reserved seats without extra charge at McCracken's Jewelry stoje. Choice cuts of pork and beef at Far ley's. The indications now are that the bone of contention at the coining election will be on the question of high license or low license. A strong move ( in a quiet way ) is being made topnt up a ticket for Trustees favoring low license , say at about half the amount now required. And we caution the people of this city to bo on the alert. The present license should not be reduced one penny. The sentiment of the communitv seems to * demand that a high license board be elected , and in this event it is to the interest of the temperance people to use their influence in electing men who will hold the license at its present fig ure , and men who will enforce the law in relation thereto as nearly to the let ter as possible. An effort to elect a no license board at this period will doubt less fail , but a board who are in favor of high license and of strict enforce ment of the laws and ordinances can surely be elected , and such men will conduct our affairs with a greater degree of success than we can expect from either a low license or a no license board. Primarily , THE TRIBUNE favors no license. But , as the matter now stands , let us have the next best thing high license and strict enforcement of the law. A most forlorn and paralyzed indi vidual was on the street , last night , claiming that he had been drugged and by some means , he knew not how , re lieved of $50. We have very little confidence in the statements of the poor wretch , who while making the same was in a most deplorable state , half- dazed and as weak as a cat from the effects of whisky or seine other villain ous drug , but the facts seem to indicate that he lost his money wiilingly , or un willingly , in an establishment wherein gambling is one of the innocent amuse ments. Lightning sometimes strikes at this elevation. SOCIAL Dr. and Mrs. S. L. Green entertained quite a number of the young people of our city , Tuesday evening , in a very hospitable and enjoyable manner. With cards and Mrs. Green's enticing refreshments and the inspiration con sequent upon the social intercourse of so many gay young spirits , a pleas ant evening was passed. Those present were : Misses Fisher , Hollister , Shaw , Rowcll , Buck and Menard. Messrs- Ebert , Ellison , Chenery , Forbes , Frank Harris , McCracken , Sam Ashmore and Chas. Fisher. We publish , by request , the follow ing lines on the death of little Bruce White , ( whose demise was noted in this paper some weeks since : ) In our homo a sunbeam fair. Sent us happiness and light. Basking in its radiance fair , From the morning till the night. Our hearts o'crflowed with love and joy , Whene'er we saw its gentle ray , Our darling little blue eyed boy , More sweet and lovely grew each day. Around our willing hearts the band Of love was tighter drawn each day , Until a glorious angel band , Had borne our little Bruce away , CORA M. NESMITH. At least one item of legislation by the late legislature that will receive public approval is the repeal of the five per centum penalty tax law , and the author izing of county treasurers to refund all such penalties already paid. So call around for your penalty money to the treasurer. The only Exclusive Furniture House in the country , have not a better variety to select from and lower prices.
