THE TRIBUNE has the very best facil ities and workmen for doing Job Work in Southwestern Nebraska. We guar antee neat and tasty work , aud ntire satisfaction in execution. A select company of bums held a short season of prayer , Sunday after noon , in the stable in the rear of this office , over a bottle of Hosteter's bitters. A motley and dry crowd were they. They have just opened up at Hayden & Co. 's the largest and finest stock of dress goods , cloaks , , laces and fancy * oods that has ever delighted the hearts of the ladies of the Republican Valley. The Democrats of Red Willow county met in the Opera Hall , last Saturday , and effected a permanent organization jy the election of a Central Committee , with J. R. Phelan , Chairman and R. B. Wahlquist , Secretary. The ex-tonsorial artist who has be come a familiar figure on our streets is now in a rather pitiful plight by reason of a too close acquaintance with the mor tar box in front of the Farley-Green wilding. His air distingue is badly demoralized. The handsome work done by I. J. Starbuck's blooded two-year-old colts at the county fair , Friday , elicited univer sal praise.

He purposes having the best available talent , and our people will doubtless ap preciate the professor's efforts. The most serious obstacle in the way of this city ever having an efficient fire service seems to be the water tax , which will be $75 per year for every plug , pro vided , that if twenty plugs are put in by the city , tbe tax will be but $60. A social hop will be given in the Opera Hall , to-morrow evening. The surplus remaining after the expenses o" the dance are paid will be donated t ( the Hocknell Hose Co. Committee Frank Yore , Ed. Laycock , A. S. Long and Fred S. Harris. An enjoyable tim is assured. _ A force of men are engaged in exca vating for a sewer to connect tbe Eating House sewer with the round house sys tern. This will abate a nuisance of long standing , as the street back of the Eat ing House has in the past answered thi purpose of a sewer with highly oderit ous effects , especially in warm weather , About the first of next month , W. J. Wilson of the circle ranch will move hi herd , the largest in Southwestern Neb raska , to the White river region in Summ county , Colo. Preparations are being made by all the owners of the large herds to move this fall or next yearai the immigration is taking up their range Teams are now at work excavating for the brick hotel which is to go up at once on the corner of Macfarland and West Dennison streets. The building is be ing erected by Mr. Mcltee , late of Col orado , and it will be 100x50 feet two stories and probably three stories high This will be the tail feather in West Dennison street's plume. Monday evening of last week , an un known man who had been working on the construction train for several months fell off the train as they were nearing Oxford , unbeknown to the rest of the crew , and was run over and horribly mangled. His absence was not noticed until the train arrived at Oxford , when a hand car was sent back to make search , with the above result. The family of William Van Hinkle who have been existing above one of the store rooms in West Dennison St. was reported to the Council at their last meeting , Monday night , as being destitute. The matter was investigated and it was ascertained that the mother of the family is low with consumption. Sufficient money was given her to pay her railroad fare to Hebron , this state , where her parents reside. The members of the County Central Committee met , pursuant to a call by Chairman Bergerat Indianola , last Fri day afternoon. In the absence of Mr. Berger , J. F. Black was made tempo rary chairman. Saturday , Sept. 26th , at 1 o'clock , P. M. , was the time decided upon for the county convention. The vote for presidential electors was adopt ed as the basis of apportioning the del egates to the various precincts , the num ber of delegates to be one at large , one for every 15 votes and one for the ma jor fraction thereof. It was also rec ommended that Saturday , Sept. 19th , between 1 and 7 o'clock , P. M. , be the date and time for holding precinct pri maries , at the usual voting places in the various precincts. As yet there have been no anounce- ments for that most important office Superintendent of Public Instruction. While we are not authorized to make the statement , yet from conversations held with our present worthy Superin tendent , we feel assured that he will not be a candidate for re-election. This is an office than which there are none of more vital interest to the people of Red Willow county one that has to do in a large degree with the education of the rising generation. We hope that in the contest for the various offices , this one of great moment may not be lost sight of , and go practically begging un til the day of the county convention , and then have some incompetent person nominated in the hurry of that occasion. The position requires a thorough ener getic educator. Who is the man ? The fair held at Indianolalast week , was no credit to Red Willow county. In the first place it was held from three to four weeks too early , making the ex hibits of agricultural products necessa rily meagre and incomplete and lacking in fullness and ripeness. The affair was poorly managed and as poorly advertised , resulting in a limited attendance. The exhibits of stock were unusually good , especially those of Messrs. Starbuck , Dolan , Buck , Welborn , Pate , McKillip and others. The races , which have be come the absorbing interest of even agricultural fairs , would have averaged ( rellhad the thumpers and foul-mouthed [ and breath as well ) black-guards which Jisgraced the occasion been excluded From the grounds. No one will risK tak ing his wife and daughters to a place svhere they must hear and see such dis- justing performances. The management should suppress such individuals or quit the business. Honor the faithful few svho helped to make what of a showing there was. We hope next year that the Bounty will be given a hand in the fair. ' A NARROW ESCAPE A P. B < unot , | Vili * ' , , . > " _ . ' 1 ' tin. lit. j uui 10. * ' itj u , - i'U now being operated to Norton , met with a severe accident at Republican City , Saturday last , which he may well con gratulate himself was not more serious 'in its results. It appears that Al. had thrown a switch for an approaching en gine , and that being worn out by work and lack of sleep , justi the locomotive was passing , he fell forward onto the track , striking on his head and render ing himself insensible , with his head across the track , between the front wheels of the engine and the drivers. The only thing that saved him from a certain death was the sand-pipe , which pushed his head aside and off the track. As it was , his head and shoulder were badly squeezed between the rail and tics by the drivers as they passed. Al. came up to town on 30 , Sunday , and is recup erating at the residence of his brother- in-law , Train Master Phelan. and soft coal , best quality , at Hallack & Howard's lumber yard. There is now confined to his bed at the McCook Hotel , a man by the name of Abraham Wood , who is suffering from two knife wounds in the stomach , about which there is considerable spec ulation , if not uncertainty. The man was discovered on the bottom a little south of the bridge. Sunday morning , cut as above described , in a most piti ful condition , having lain out of doors all night. Wood himself says that he was held up and robbed and stabbed but as there are no holes in his garments , this statement hardly seems plausible. Those who have been in attendance upon the man are unanimous in the opinion that the man is not well balanced and that it is a case of attempted self-de struction. His clothing were still wet , Sunday morning , showing that he had been in the river , and not finding that the most desirable means of climbing the golden stairs , he resorted to his jack knife , which was found near by. Wood gives his age at 68. BSP'Hard and soft coal , best quality , at Hallack & Howard's lumber yard. SCHOOL REPORT.
