A representative of the Knights of Labor was in town , recently , to effect an organization of that kind in this city. A meeting was held , but we have not ascertained what action was taken in the matter. The dearest spot on earth is home , sweet home. The cheapest spot on earth to furnish a home is at J. P.

Perfect satis faction guaranteed. The Methodist people have broken ground for their house of worship , and contracted for stone for the foundation thereof. They have succeeded in get ting considerable means , and will push the building right along. Two Sisters of the Sacred Heart , Den ver , were in town , Monday , seeking aid. As our people have their hands pretty well full with home subscriptions , etc. , we fear they were not as successful as they might otherwise have been. The inclination of village boards all over this commonwealth is to raise the liquor license to the the maximum. These educational institutions come high , but all progressive and enlighten ed communities must have them.

Mr. Moss has leased a suit of rooms in the new bank building for three years. The Wallace house on Madison street , lately occupied by L. B. Stiles , is now occupied by D. J.

Still we have no blame to attach to the pony. The new town in Cheyenne county , Kansas , Wane by name , is attracting considerable attention from settlers and speculators. D. J. Smith of our city was at that point , last Thursday , and bought 1,000 acres of land in the neighborhood of the new town. The liquor license in the town of Dlysses , Butler county , is $1,500. This we believe is the highest license de manded by any town in this state. To be consistent , towns ough6 to give these institutions a bonus they are so desir able in every particular. Some fell disease seems to take hold af a horse every now and then , and trans late the same to horse-heaven without much preliminary notification. Another horse weary of life laid down , Saturday last , bade farewell to earthly cares ind went hence to the bone yard. Messrs. Berger & Mishlcr expect their shipment of 500 Northwestern Texas marcs and ] 00 saddle horses , the last of this week. Parties wanting to buy a good horse cheap for cash should call at Russell's barn , McCook , and at their yard between the Frenchman and Re publican rivers , Culbertson. The residence now in course of erec tion by Mr. Rinker of Spanogle & Rink- er , on Monroe street , north of W. S. Perry , will be one of the most artistic and cosy homes in the city , when com pleted. Mr. Rinker has already planted a number of trees in his yard , showing that hrj intends making it a home "for keeps. " The Congregational Church was filled to overflowing , Sunday evening , to hear the temperance exercises conducted by the ladies of the W. C. T. U. The pro gram was largely made up of declama tions , recitations , dialogues , etc. , by the children of the Band of Hope , whose performances never fail to meet the public's approval. The trial of Fred Munsinger for set ting out prairie fires in the pastures of Clark and Hatfield , southeast of Mc Cook , took place at Tndianola , Monday morning. Munsinger plead guilty and was sentenced to pay $50 , and impris onment in the county jail for three months , the extent of the jurisdiction of the County Judge. Call on Berger & Mishler for bar gains in horses. During a recent trip of R. 0. Phillips to our city , Frees & Hocknell purchased the lots 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , and 10 in block 27 , upon which their lumber yard is now situated. This transaction is one of the heaviest in the history of our city , as well as one of the best bargains ever re ceived , as the property embraced in the purchase is among the most valuable within the corporate limits. Spanogle & Rinker have the Grass Hopper Rod Breaker. Two newspaper men from Hastings , Messrs. Thompson and Wahlquist , have been in the city , this week , making a thorough canvass of the field , and we understand have decided to put a demo cratic newspaper in McCook at once. We also understand that it will be a dollar paper , and will in three months have a circulation equal to the 3 papers now in the field , etc. , ad infinitum. The City Livery Stable , B. F.

Emerson at Wane , Cheyenne county , Kansas , together with one or two car-loads of fancy stock for Ogden , Utah , were attached to No. 83 , Saturday evening. New goods just arrived at C. H. Rogers' . The primary department of our pub- lie school has become so over-crowded that the principal has found it necessary to make two divisions of the children in that department , one division of which shall attend school in "the morn ing , and the other in the afternoon. The above rule went into effect , Tues day morning. There are 72 children enrolled , and an average attendance of 63 , more than the room will seat , and more than one teacher can handle. Standard Hallady wind mills at Span- ogle & Rinker's. People who trade in our city frequent ly complain to us , and in some cases bitterly , that no provision is made for watering stock since the well on Main Avenue is no more. This matter should certainly interest some body. Who will make a move toward securing a water ing place. Will the city authorities , the business men or the Lincoln Land Co. secure for those who make this their trading point , what the people justly iemand , a place to water their teams. Great Reduction in Watches and Jewelry at McCrackcn's. ; > The woman of ill-shape , who has lo ; cated in South McCook , has caused the citizens residing in that community to rise up in indignation , and to make expression ; pression of that feeling to the board of trustees. The female's actions , accord ing to the reports that have reached our 2ars , have been outrageous , and call for \ction on the part of the authorities , svho should not only make an example jf this dove , but also remember the house on Railroad , street in their cleaning - ing up. s ' A number of citizens of McCook met at the waiting room in the depot , Wednesday evening , and completed thv organization of a fire company. Consti tution and by-laws were adopted and the following officers elected : ForemanR. , B. Archibald ; First As sistant. , Fred S. Harris ; Second Assist ant , J. F. Forbca ; Secretary , F. M. Kimmcll ; Treasurer , J. A. Wjlcox ; Steward , P. Walsh. Committees were appointed to wait upon Mr. Hocknell , who has offered to present the organiza tion with a hose cart , and in honor of whom the company is named , and ac quaint him with the fact of the comple tion of the organization , and also to meet with the next session of the Board of Trustees and confer with them as to the disposition of the hose , wrenches , etc. , now in the hands of the Board. Other business was transacted , showing a disposition on the part of the mem bers of the company to go right ahead with the work. It is to be hoped that if the company shows itself to be de serving that our citizens will lend a helping hand in securing what neces sary apparatus is to be had. We will make fuller mention of the minutes in our next issue. White Bolted Corn Meal at the City Bakery. What's the matter with our real es tate dealers in this city advertising ? But one firm in McCook advertises the land business to any extent , ( and the extensive business they are doing now gives evidence of the fact , ) while in our neighboring towns every real estate man seems to appreciate the value of adver tising , as the local papers with flaming ads. bear witness , notably Oberlin , where a large per cent , of land seekers are flocking. Men in any business , who do not advertise are liable to sit around until they are weary , and the seat of their well-polished pantaloons as well , while the judicious advertiser takes all the business. For pumps and pipes go to Spanogle & Rinker. Last week , James Ellison of Ken- esaw moved his herd of 134 head out to this section. Mr. Ellison has a ranch some ten or fifteen miles north of Mc Cook to which he will move his stock as socn as he can complete his arrange- meiM-sJ'-Dr ' a well , wind mill and tanks , by'which to provide his stock with water. His stock are now being held north of Indianola until these provisions are made. Mr. Ellison also bought a fine trotting stallion with him. Boston Brown Bread at the City Bak ery constantly. The sight of the poor old man totter ing on the verge of eternity , staggering along the streets , Tuesday evening , only sustained on his feet by the dumb ani mals he was leading ( ? ) should have chilled the very soul of levity , rather than have caused mirth. Such scenes may provoke the thoughtless observer here to laugh , but if there be celestial beings , who beyond the vale take cog nizance of such things , their eyes were moist with tears of pity and their lips were asking mute benedictions.

TRIBUNE : Permit mo through your columns to make a report concern ing our school. We refer more partic ularly to the crowded condition of our primary department. In view of the largo attendance , wo have adopted the plan pursued in our larger schools , where the accommodations arc limited , of dividing the department into two di visions , and have one division attend in the forenoon , the other , in the after noon. That there is severe criticism , especially among those who arc not con versant with the facts , is natural to ex pect. We subjoin the following report , that parents and patrons may be intel ligently informed : No. of boys enrolled , ; ti. No. of girls enrolled , 42. Wnole No. enrolled , 74. No. of Blttings , Til. No. unrolled that are 5 years of age , -I. No. ciiiolli'tl that at o ( I yours of ago , 21. No. enrolled that aru 7 juara of agu , 11. No. unrolled that at u 8 years of ago , H. No. unrolled that aru U yearn of ago , 4. No. cm oiled that aru 10 years of aiu , 3. No. em oiled that aru 11 yearH of age , - . No. enrolled that are 13 yuars of ngo , 1. It will be seen from the above enrolment that about one-third of the ment , - num ber are only five years of age , and , while they are legally entitled to attend , they are too young to do well , and we believe that it is physically an injury to many of that age who are now attending the public schools of the state. With these facts before you , is it not better to have the children of this department attend alternately each half day , than to crowd so many together , rendering thu teacher powerless to do effective work , and in flicting lasting injury to the pupils , than to permit them all to attend at the same time ? Please consider that we are doing our best for the trust committed to our charge , and we respectfully ask your careful consideration and co-operation. Very Respectfully , W. S. WEBSTER.
