Considerable interest was manifested t the first meeting of the new board of rustees by a number of our citizens. ! he sportive antics of JoeBraxin , whose teutonic blood was aroused by reason f the board laying his petition on the ible the petition not having the re- uired number of resident property wners' names thereon were amusing nd laughable in the extaerae.

Rider was but is no more amen | the many readers of THE TRIBUNE Simply because we peremptorily rcfusei to exceed our prerogatives as clerk o this village in a matter in which Mi Rider has largely and strangely inter edted hipiself , that individual invade ; our office , and after applying the com plimentary sobriquet of "damn fool1 from his choice and ever chaste vocab ulary , pays us$1.75 due us on.subscrip tion , and discontinues his paper. No only does he discontinue his own paper but that he is bringing his influence t < bear on others to have them discontinui their papers is also apparent. We hav < never attempted to publish a paper tha would meet with H. C. Rider's approval and never expest to make that attempt We have treated him with probably more than merited consideration in tin past out of a desire to live peaceably with all men. But , we will not cr ) peace , peace , when there is no peace H. C.

Nc man , it matters not what amount ol money he may have accumulated in one way and another , can come into this of fice and black-guard its proprietors witli impunity , although this is a favorite waj in which H. C. Rider displays his dislike New goods just arrived at C. H. Rogers' . We never could quite understand some of the Courier's nonsense , at anj rate. This week's issue vouchsafes the astonishing information that Indian- ola is the starting point of all stages in Southwestern Nebraska and North western Kansas. The case is just about like this , either the Courier is densely ignorant of the fact that there are three or four daily stages running out of Mc- Cook'to Oberlin , Hayes Centre , etc. , or else its localizer purposely prevari cates and misrepresents. Either is in excusable. It is beyond our ken why any such statement should ever appeal in ap ner that pretends to give reliable information. The fact is undeniable that while Indianola does have good stage facilities , that there are none bet ter in the entire Republican Valley than those possessed by McCook. In addi- iion , this town is considerably nearer many of the objective points for land- seekers , and has the best of roads. If the Courier will just simply approxi mate the truth as near as possible we will be with him always , but we object emphatically to misrepresentation in every direction whatsoever. Boston Brown Bread at the City Bak ery constantly. George Irving passed through Mc Cook , west-bound , Tuesday. In get ting off the train to get his dinner , he eft his valise , containing valuable pa- jers in a car that is side-tracked at this station of which fact he was unaware. When he came from dinner he missed lis valise , which of course , was in the car on the side-track , and not having time to look after the matter he told loadmaster Phclan of the circumstances and boarded the train. It appears that Mr. ' instructions a young boy overheard Irving's structions , and he immediately went to he car and got the valise and carried t away. Some time thereafter parties who started in search of the valise , 'ound it near the track a short distance west of town , where the kid had left it after tearing in many pieces some of the most valuable reports and papers , which will have to be reproduced from the fragments somehow or other at head quarters.

The only prec edent for such untold occurrences we know anything about is the circumstance related of Lord Byron , who retired one night and awoke the following morning and found himself famous. So with the Courier , whose list of subscribers seems to have doubled in numbers in a single ni ht. Come , come , QS. . , we will take a few facts in ours.
