The question which doth agitate the
stockmen of Southwestern Nubraska is ,
where to move their herds , next spring.
The heavy immigration of the past two
years has necessitated the movinc of
their large herds to greener pastures
more extensive ranges where the set
tler , with his "yaller dorg , " are not to
molest them. Two years have worked
great and important changes in this
part of Nebraska , and as yet this is only
the beginning of still more radical
changes and improvements.
To be given away ! Inquire at Mc
Cracken's Jewelry Store.
A young man by the name of George
Fox was arraigned before Squire Colvin.
Tuesday morning , charged with stealing
twelve cans of oysters from W. II. H.
Clark , who runs a fruit stand near Law-
son's hardware store. His honor/after
hearing what evidence was presented ,
held the young man , who but recently
arrived from Kansas City , guilty of the
theft , and sentenced him to twenty days
imprisonment in the county jail. An
appeal was taken , and Fox was placed
under $500 bonds to appear at the next
term of District Court.

The fire plug at the corner of the Cit
izens Bank having sprung a leak , the
company had a force , of men remove the
same on Monday. This leaves the city ,
though possessed of an excellent system
of water works , whose water mains ram
ify throughout its length and breadth ,
without a fire plug and practicably at
the mercy of the devouring element.
Out of due regard for the safety of the
city an attempt should be made to secure
a number of hydrants. The city has
righteous claims which the Water Works
Co. will no doubt acknowledge.
Great Reduction in Watches and
Jewelry at McCracken's.
The bottom seems to have dropped
out of the cattle market completely.
Never during ten years past have cattle
sold at the prices of the present year.
Last week , Messrs. Wood and Warner
of Laird and Judge Baker of the Medi
cine sold in the aggregate some two
hundred head of sieers , cows , etc. , at
the extremely low figure of two cents
per pound. And even at such prices
the demand is limited indued. We would
advise stockmen not to sell one head
more than is absolutely imperative.
Such prices are ruinous , and another
year will witness a much stiflferraarket * ,
and a greatly reduced supply.
Holt Holds the Fort.
o
There is now in progress , in this city ,
a temperance revival , under the direc
tion of C. J. Holt , a well-known tem
perance lecturer who operates under the
'auspices ' of that grandest of organiza
tions , the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union , which bids fair to stimu
late and strengthen the temperance peo
ple and sentiment of this place to a
healthy degree. The speaker deals with
this important question in a manner de
cidedly unique , but squarely and thor
oughly , and as one who knows whereof
he speaks. And tvho but one who has
drank deeply , and to the dregs , of the
bitterness that strong drink entails ,
knows how to befittingly picture and de
pict the effect of the traffic ? The meet
ing has but commenced , and THE TRIB
* UNE ' with all lovers of their kind ' wishes
jit god-speed , and the fullest measure of
! success.

Cambridge Kaleidoscope : Charley
Knight the wide-awake manager of the
Chicago Lumber Yards at this place and
Arapahoe , was called to McCook , last
Friday , on important business. The
Messrs. Frees & Hockncll informed him
that they intended to organize a stock
company , January 1st , 1886 , and none
but old men in their employ , could take
stock in it. They also informed him , that
they would give him entire charge and
control of their lumber yards , number
ing sixteen , situated in Kansas , Colora
do and Nebraska. This was quite an
agreeable surprise to Charley , and it
tickled him clear down to his boots , as
it were. Mr. Hockncll will take a much
needed rest , and make a trip down
through' Mexico , Arizona and Califor
nia. Charlie has our congratulations
and we wish him abundant success.

OMAHA REPUBLICAN : The many
friends of Rev. F. B. Lemon , the ven
erable superintendent of the Nebraska
mission conference of the M. E. church ,
will bcrpained to learn that he sustain
ed a stroke of paralysis at North Platte
on Saturday. He had gone from his
home at Kearney to NorthPlatte , ex
pecting to hold services iu the latter city
Sunday. The good old man was taken
to his home in Kearne } ' , where at last
accounts he was resting easily. There
is probably no better known clergyman
in the state and certainly none more
highly respected. His affliction will
come very near to thousands of homes
in Nebraska , and to many in this city.
His friends await further information
from his bedside and hope his days of
usefulness are not ended.
