Tinker , Chas. Wiener , J.D.Ful- Icrton , of lied Cloud , and C. L. Alex ander , C. C. Bittcnhouse , J. J. Haymaker , B. F. Bawalt , Hastings. The committee which was entrusted with the dispensing to the needy of the money ( $8.63) ) raised at the Congrega tional church , Thanksgiving day , inform us that the } ' have spent the amount raised on the above-named occasion for a stove , whicjh they have presented to E. J. Hall , it appearing that he was in need cf just such a necessary article. A delegation of lndianolapeoplenum- bering eoine fifty of her most prominent and influential citizens , encouraged and strengthened the temperance people of this city by their presence at the lecture by C. J. Holt , at the Methodist church , last Friday evening. The various mem bers of the delegation delivered short speeches , and the evening was withal a most enjoyable and encouraging one. NEAR. Belden , K. Y.the other day , a Mr. Atuos Day and Miss Jane Week Were united in marriage } and we are led to exclaim i A Day is inafle , a Week Is lost , But time should not complain , For there will soon be Days enough To make a Week again. We have had the pleasure of attend ing many weddings among our circle of acquaintances , but this caps all when We take into consideration the amount of time lost in a few moments. Ex. On the first of this month , a change occurred in the B. & M. Dispatchers' of fice at this place , Walter J. Hills , who has been an Acting or Extra Dispatcher for some time , being promoted to a reg ular position on that staff a distinction , with accompanying and additional emol ument , worthily bestowed. From the above date , J. F. Kenyon goes on duty at 4 o'clock in the afternoonremaining until midnight. Great Bcduction in Watches and Jewelry at McCrackcn's. We hear considerable complaint about the closing up , . atdifFercutpoints.of the road leading north from this place to the Willow. Several parties have experi enced .so much difficulty on account of fences , bad roads , etc , that they have gone elsewhere to do their trading. This matter should receive prompt at tention. The old road was indeed exe crable , but Ihe fencing in of various claims has made matters much worse. Our merchants can not afford to have their trade diverted from its proper channel by poor highways. The best boot in America. The Wal- kc.r boot. Sold only by C. II. Bogcrs. SuoiiTLY MISTAKEN We are re quested by James Ellison of Box Elder to correct the statement made in last week's Democrat to the effect that he had disposed of his ranch hear Box El der. The fact is , Mr. Ellison only sold some stock from his ranch , and not the ranch property at all. Mr. Ellison has replaced the stock sold by other and better grade cattle , , has taken another claim , since making proof on his pre emption , and the probabilities are that he will remain where he is for some time to come. llemember Church & Whittaker for choice fresh meats of all kinds. There is that in the ordinary appear ance of our city , which challenges the admiration of all who visit here , whether simply for pleasure , as well as for busi ness. And , by the by , how few indeed are the cities of this growing common wealth , where all is activity , where cit ies arc rapidly assuming proportions metropolitan , where the hamlet of to day is the stirring village of to-morrow , where wild prairie is being transformed into peaceful and prosperous agricultur al communities , that can approach the "Magic City of the Upper Bepublican" in material advancement. And what of the brightness of our future prospects ? To be given away ! Inquire at Mc Crackcn's Jewelry Store. There are now in full blast at least three and possibly five , gambling hells , operated in the main by the same gang of sneaks who attempted to down the unsophisticated during the horse fair , with their nefarious games. THE TRIB UNE will take occasion to "name right out in church" who are managing these dens , and where they are located , for those in authority. This open violation of law is a disgrace and a blot upon the fair escutcheon of our city. MEMORIAL MEETING.

It is with a feeling of pride that we note the memorial services held at the Opera HallTuesday afternoonin honor of our departed and honored Vice-Pres ident , Thomas A. Hendricks , who pass ed from this earthly scene suddenly at his home in Indianapolis , Ltd. , Wednes day of last week. Cut down in the zen ith of his glory. Although the services were th'e.result of a short season of preparation , when the hour appointed had ai rived , the Opera House was crowd ffl to overflowing with our citizens and school children , all to pay the last be fitting tribute to a great man , to the na tion's dead , regardless of paity , and the manner in which the meeting parsed off was highly complimentary and sat isfactory. After a few introductory re marks by 1 ujtii ; > A. Wilcox , president of the occasion , the following program was carried out : PUOCUAMMK. Music Uy the Clioir. Prayer By l\ev. ( ! co. Dtingan.

Letvli. Music By the Choir. Benediction By Uev. "W. S. Wheeler. We have not the available space to detail the ten-minute speeches made by the above-named gentlemen , but will tersely remark that they were of a uni formly patriotic character , tender and eulogistic of the dead statesman's life and character and public services. The address made by Mr. Ryan indicated the greatest care in preparation , and was a most worthy effort. The services throughout were such that all present were pleased and glad that they had been present. Below we give the reso lutions unanimously adopted by the meeting : MKMOHIAI. liKSOI.UTlOXS. WHEKEAS , Hon. Thomas A. Ilendrieks , Vice-President of the United States , departed this life on the "Oth tilt. , we bow our heads with grief and our hearts are tilled with mourning for the loss of our honored Vice- Jluler ; and while we bow in humble submis sion to the divine will , may it not be that these visitations of providence which smite down men in high places and touch the heart of the country , come to bring to us the whole some reminder that a common fate awaits men of all parties ; to soften the asperities en gendered by partisan strife ; to silence for a time the din of political warfare ; to teach all Americans the lesson of a closer fraternity and move them to a nobler citizenship. THKHEFOKE , As a token of honor and es teem for the memory of our illustrious dead , we , the citizens of the city of McCook' , adopt these resolutions : Be IT ItBsoi.VEU , That in the life of Thos. A. Hendrjcks we recognize the highest type of American citizenship , whose personal in fluence will remain a priceless heritage to us who live after him. As in life it dulled the edge of political rancor and won that tribute of respect from all that is given to a pure man in every personal attribute. An upright man , lovely in all his private relations , clean in all his public expressions , ho in death it mingles with the unaffected sorrow of the time , a chastening and purifying influence. tVround the bier of our dead ruler let no par tisan lines be drawn , but let us follow his re mains to their final resting place , all borrow ing Americans together. BE IT FuimiKR Jcsoi.vin , That we ten der to the widow of our beloved Vice-Presi- dcnt , our sincere sympathy and condolence in the hour of her sore bereavement , and di rect that she be furnished witli a copy of these resolutions , and that they be published at large over the state. f A.
