A. number of our people are arranging to attend the June musical festival at Omaha , nest week. The rain fall , Saturday night , in va rious parts of the county , is given at from 4k to 6 inches. That our present drainage is insuffi cient , the rain of Saturday night proves beyond a peradventure. The new land firm of Babcock & O'Donncll are having the building just north of the depot remodeled for their use. use.A A chorus is now in training , under A. . G. Bixlcr , to present Esther , the Beau tiful Queen , before our people in a couple weeks. Lightning struck a fence post in front of Hess and Kellcy's properties , Sat urday night , but occasioned no damage other than fright. McCook has the material for a fine military company , and we are informed on authority that she can secure one if the effort is made. During the storm , Friday evening , a fine two-year old steer , belonging to O.fl. Jacobs of the Driftwood , was struck by lightning and instantly killed. The Chief of Police has issued hi edict against dogs. Procure licenses for your "dear dogies" or you may have the pleasure of holding a post-mortem thereon. Two travelling hawkers plied their noble trade in the city , last Saturday , with but indifferent success , we feel proud in stating. Patronize your home merchants. Wednesday , June 2d , the station of Bartley , seven miles east of Tndianola , was opened up for business , with Ben S. Marvinlate , helper at Blue Hill station , in charge. The Tied Willow County Institute will open July 19thand continue two weeks. Prof. 0. O.IIubbell of Fail-field College is one of the instructors engaged for the occasion. Friday evening's storm was more se vere south of the river than in this im mediate vicinity , considerable hail fall ing there , while the lightning was vivid and destructive. The rain fall at Akron , last week , was celebrated by the denizens of that burg sy the discharge of artillery and a hilar ious time generally. They wanted little moisture up there badly. Those bridge projects are not defunct entirely , they are only sleeping. We are on the lookout for the first gleams of resurrection morn. Better vote pre cinct bonds if no better plan can be de vised. The all-absorbing topic of conversa tion is the telegram from Sparks an nouncing the suspension of pre-emption ind timber-culture filings. The General is dearer ( ? ) to the hearts of the people than ever. The County Superintendent having appointed him one ol the Directors ot the County Institute to be held in July next , Prof. W. S. Webster , of our city , will answer all communications relating thereto addressed to him. This week , II. G. Dixon , real estate agent , sold lots 7 and S in block 12 to Dr. B. B. Davis. These lots have a frontage of 100 feet on the park block and are very desirable residence lots. Also , sold lot 4 in block 11 to S. L. Dixon. This lot adjoins A. McG. Robb's property on the south. Commencing with. June 1st , Geo. W. Kaime , who has been filling the office of book-keeper for The Frees & Hock nell Lumber Co. , assumes the duties of Traveling Auditor for the company , while W. M. Anderson returns to his first love , that of book-keeper. The new dwelling in course of erection by W. D. Paine , just south of W. M. Anderson's residence.will be as to com- modiousness , finish and architectural beauty , prominent among the homes of this city. W. D. is superintending the work himself and purposes having a sub stantial and handsome structure. Last Thursday evening , a company of some fifty neighbors and friends swooped down upon M. L. Brown , at his place six miles northeast of town , treating him to a genuine and pleasant surprise party , upon that his birth-day occasion. The affair was originated and carried to a successful issue by Miss Mattie Johnson. Messrs. Lytle Bros. & Co. have torn down the implement shed in the rear of their hardware store and are replacing the same with a substantial frame building , 58x22 , which , with their other build- ng occupies the entire lot 140 feet. This addition gives the firm greatly en- arged storage room and is a noteworthy mprovement over the old structure. The specimens of brick shown at this : office , Saturday , by Contractor Collins , 'rom the kiln of 125,000 recently burn ed by him , are doubtless the best ever ' mrned at this place. They are pro- lounced an extra fine specimen of ma chine pressed brick. Leave your orders at the office of The Frees & Hocknell > Lumber Co. , where theywill be prompt- 1 y filled. | The local land officers at this place j received a telegram , yesterday , instruct- ing them not to receive any pre-emption or timber-culture filings until further | orders from the department were receivj j ed. Also , that an explanatory circular j had been forwarded by mail. Next Sunday morning , June 6th , Rev. C. S. Harrison of Franklin Academy , will preach in the Congregational church at 11 o'clock , A. M. In the evening , at 7:30 o'clock , he will deliver his lec ture , "The Age of Steel. " Rev. Har rison is an able and eloquent speaker , and a large house should greet him. The sociable , last evening , at Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Babcock's , was one of the most delight ful ever held in the city. Democrat In view of the fact that that of a verity felicitous occasion did not trans pire until Saturday evening , a day after the publication of the above , we are constrained to remark that had the par- agrapher exhibited less of that perennial previousncss , which marks many of his productions , he would have made a less painful expose of his suggestive ears. Red Willow county is rapidly taking first rank in the fine stock line. And in this connection we might refer briefly to the full-blood Norman shipped here by G.B.Dimmitt from iroquois county , 111. , on a recent date. Decided , Jr. , comes from thorough-bred imported Nor man stock , is coming two years old , stands over 1C hands high , weighs 1,300 pounds , and for a yearling draft colt has superb form and action , and gives prom ise of making a magnificent , symmetric al specimen of his kind. will pay you to buy J. F. Ganschow's $3 shoe. The storm , Saturday evening , deter red many from attending the Congrega tional sociable at Receiver Babcock's residence. Those who braved the in clemency of the weather , however , en joyed a feast of the delicacies of the season , as well as an evening of pleas urable sociil intercourse , games , and the like. It is to be regretted that the storm interfered , as the ladies had made extensive preparations , stinting not of means and labor. But man proposes , and the elements sometimes make an unpleasant and unprofitable disposition thereof. Money to loan on improved farms. Agee & Wiley. The Old Folk's Concert , given at the Opera Hall , Tuesday eveningby a cho rus of home talentfor , the benefit of the M. E. church , it affords us pleasure to note , was a success in a financial sense , and was appreciated and enjoyed by the audience present , which comfortably filled the hall. The affair was not de signed to be an artistic one , but a gen uine old time concert , and from the words of praise we have heard uttered , we conclude that their efforts pleased the people. The band and orchestra discoursed a number of fine selections and properly come in for a goodly share of commendation. They have the purest , kettle-rendered lard in the city at Brewer Bros. That disgraceful thumping scrape , Tuesday , in which h. r. n. figured , and for his ignominious participation in which he was duly arrested , brought be fore Police Judge Fisher and fined $1 ( and costs , in all over $5indicates a few things , which we might mention : It calls prominently to mind the fact al ways distressingly plain that his incorn- petency is no more fit for his position than a Hottentot for the land celestial , firstly ; also his peculiar penchant for pugilistic attainment of the slip-up-be- uind-and-knock-down patcrn. A pugil ist of the style .that bull-dozes the weak and cringes before superiors , physically. Ihere seems to be but one thing to be regrettedi. e. , that Smith did not throw it out into the gutter onto its head. Organs rented until the rent pays for them at C. P. Riuker's. The storm of Saturday night was rjuite severe enough to cause some ap prehension ; the rain descending in tor rents , accompanied too by a stiff breeze , made a scene of no little activity , all jf hich was heightened by a brilliant lisplay of heaven's fire-works. The cellars of Messrs. D. Kendall , L. Low- man & Son , Lytle Bros. & Co. , Hayden S : Co. and Brewer Bros. , on Main Ave nue , were more or less flooded by the immense volume of water that rushed lown that thorough-fare like a little river. The damages caused , however , svere but nominal , as squads of men ivere at once set to work pumping out the water. Mrs. Nelis had three or four line hats badly damaged by the rain , nrhich was driven through the cracks in the front of her store room. A few ' since lad day's , a sis-year-old passed through this station , en route trorn Crested Butte , Gal. , to Philadel phia , Pa. The youthful traveler was alone , depending upon the courtesy of the trainmen for his safe delivery , and it is unnecessary to remark that the lit- ile fellow was well cared for by the B. fc M. boys. The following message was pinned to his hut , and we produce it rerbatiin et literatim : Crested Eutte Cal o the Conductor on the railroad will Pis see that this Little Boy make all Changes all rit he is on his way to Philadel- ahia and Patterson Pa to his grand father Jacob Stauffer hope that you will confer this 'avur i am Kespecfully Maggie Stauffer Mother of the Boy. We are indebted to Conductor San- orn for the above production , the brave ittle fellow's passport , illiterate but sufficient and effective. I MEMORIAL DAY ! o I This day , so dear to oycry loyal , American's heart , in its tender memor- ; ie ? and associations , was celebrated , ! Monday afternoon , by the citizens of this city , under the auspices of J. K. Barnes Post No. 207 , G. A. R. , in a manner at once creditable and patriotic. The ex- ercises at the Opera Hall , which was crowded to its utmost capacity , many being unable to gain admission , were as follows : PROGRAMME. 1. Music by tho band. 2. Prayer by Rev. J. E. Kelsey. 3. Singing by the Choir. 1. Memorial Orders by Adj. Yager. 5. Singing by the Choir. G. Five-Minute Speeches. 7. Music by the Band. 8. Oration by J. E. Cochran , Esq. 9. Doxology. The entire programme passing off pleasantly and smoothly after which the audience was dismissed and the followj j ing procession formed , under Comman der J. A. Wilcox of J. K. Barnes Post , and proceeded to Longview Cemetery , on the west side * of the city , where the remainder of the programme was per formed : I'P.OCKSSIOX. 1. Citizens Baud. 2. J. K.

The company of 38 little girls , all dressed in white , representing the dif ferent states , who recited a poem appro priate to the occasion , and who deco rated the graves of Comrades C. L. Nettleton , Chester Ward and Ira Wick- wire , was one of the beautiful features of the day. A detachment of Knights of Pythias of Willow Grove Lodge formed the guard of honor , and with their handsome accoutrements made a fine showing. To sum up the occasion in a sentence , it was a celebration which does this city proud , having all the marks which go to make a successful affair of this kind. If you want the best gasoline stove , go to C. D. Palmer's , opposite McEntee. The rain of Friday afternoon last , while it brought rejoicing to the hearts of many who were looking forward to such an event with no little expectancy , was not without its element of sadness , one household being filled with mourn ing and another with suffering by the destructive lightning , which was a prom inent complement of the rain. The fa tal stroke was that which found E. E. Nicholson , the aged road overseer of the Vailton district. Mr. Nicholson , it ap pears , was performing his first day's duties as overseer , having just recently been appointed to that position , and was returning home from some work he was doing on the Vailton bridge , when a short distance from the house , he was laid low by a fell stroke of the terrible element. He was buried in Longview Cemetery , Sunday morning , many neighbors and friends who held the de- 3e ceased in high esteem following the re e mains to their last resting place. The Reid residence , situated just north of the school house was also struck by lightning during the continuance of the rain , Mrs. J. A. Mathers being severly burned by the electricity which played uround the room in which she was living. Her clothing , as well as the building , were ignited , and but for the timely ar rival of assistance , the result might have been much more disastrous , as she was rendered insensible by the shock , and licr husband was confined to bed by aickness. We take pleasure in noting a that Mrs. Mathers is improving rapidly , o ind expects to be around again in a few u days. d days.All All efforts tending toward the drawing Dut and cultivation of the musical talent rf the city may well be encouraged.
