Pocket state maps at this office. These maps are just from the press and are accurate and complete to dato. The wet goods organ has added anoth er column , and is now ' 'the largest and best paper in the city , " to be sure. "rlhe first peaches of the season" were placed on the market , the later part of last week. They were shipped from California. This office is under obligation to the Gazette-Journal Co. of Hastings for the handsomest line of programs , etc. , it has ever been our pleasure to see. A large two-story residence is in course of construction on North Mar shall street , opposite Ilepresentative Tlocknell's property by Sairiuel Strasscr. Let us have the bridges , even if it is necessary to vote precinct bonds to do so. We might add , though , that In dianola has secured her bridges without the bonds. Two gentlemen from York , this state. Messrs. Mead & Son , were in the city , last Friday , looking over the town with a view of embarking in the loaning busi ness here. II. It. X. ' s cup of bitterness now run neth over. Even his "staunch" friend of the wet goods organ now blows hot and cold over him. Thus is added in sult to injury. A special Pullman car , containing the "American Water Works Associa tion , ' * passed through the city , Tues day evening , attached to No. 39 , bound for Denver and the west. The law firm of Williams , Iluiburd & Lucas have moved into their new quar ters in the second floor of the Scott building. Their rooms have been hand somely furnished , and are the finest in the city. Ity an Ontario , Gal.paper we see that S. 13. Brown , a former resident of this county , is engaged in the livery busi ness there and doing well , which will be welcome news to Sam's friends in this vicinity. There are two important matters that should agitate our people , namely , bridges and improvements to our high ways. Both are needed and needed badly. We hope an effort will be made in these directions. A scrub nine of our base ball artists crossed bats with the Culbertsonites , Friday afternoon last. The score stood 19 to 1C in favor of McCook. The boys here complain of contemptible treatment by the Culbertson people. The J. P. Mathes building on Main Avenue , occupied by Messrs.Ludwick & TrowbrSdge , was purchased , the first of the week , by C. D. Ercanbrack for $2,500 cash. The present occupants have leased the propert } * for two years. Parasols this season are unusually varied , and some of the styles are ex ceedingly novel and attractive. En com mon with the rest of the toilet , ribbon plays an important part in their adorn ment , while lace , gauze and net are used in a variety of ways. By reason of the rainy weather , the dedication of the Red Willow Christian Church , which was to have taken place , last Sunday , has been postponed until Sunday , June 27th , at 10:30 o'clock , A. M. Elder Pardee of Geneva , this state , will address the people on that occasion. A general invitation is cor dially extended. An old gentleman was quite seriously hurt , Monday evening , at the station , by coming in contact with a large ex press truck , while attempting to board a moving train. In view of the foolish ness displayed at the station during the necessary shifting of cars , it is a matter of wonderment that some persons have not been mutilated or killed. CONFERENCE MEETING.

The dry weather in Iowa is giving Kansas , Dakota , andWstem Ncbra-ska- drouth , and grasshoppers begin to appear in .some ouar- , j ters. The three or four years in which we j have too much moisture in Iowa have been J the making of the dry and sandy States to the West. When theVest gets hack its normal weather , many of ihu immigrants who have gone to those States from Iowa will he want ing to get hack. But we hope that no such ill luck is gohig to fall on'any of the States named. There are filled with good people , and we wish them good luck only. The above from the Iowa State Reg ister shows an astonishing degree of ig norance of the true facts , as far as Ne braska is concerned. In the face of these misrepresentations how strange sounds the wail that floats up the Valley from the eastern part of the state , where the cry is too much moisture , while here in the Republican Valley we arc enjoy ing copious and plenteous showers , and crops are lookiugsimply immense. Oh , ye doubting Thomases ! The "Great American Desert'1 will yet astonish and convince you against your will ! Rinker sells the Deering Hinders and Mowers. The great heart of this people always goes out in sympathy toward the worthy. Two evidences of this fact have occur red ' .vithin the past , I'ew days. The first expression , a purse of over $30 , being in favor of James Martin , a farmer who resides a few miles nortlrjvest of the city , who has been sick and unable to work for some time. William Coleman performed the neighborly act of raising the money. The object of the other kindly feeling is an estimable lady of this place , whose efforts toward the sup port of self and two small children , by the needle , were supplemented by a donation of almost § G ( ) . at the hands of the citizens of this place. Mrs. Jen nings and Starbtick were instrumental in securing the latter amount. What more can the donors desire than the benedictions of the sick and worthy ? Money , to loan on improved farms. Agee & Wiley. ANOTHKR LKGAL LIGHT Having about closed his arrangements with the B. & M. , to become their attorney , Dis trict Attorney W. S. Morlan of Arapa- hoe expects to remove to this city , on or about the first of next month , in pur suance of that agreement. Mr. Morlan was in the cityyestesday. looking up a location for an office. Mr. Morlan stands high among the lawyers of the state and will add strength to on. already well known bar. McCook is a drawing card , and no mistake , and many there be who are casting longing eyes thither-ward. Baled hay at Fry & Snow's feed store in any quantity. Our new postmaster , F. A. Thomp son , received his commission , last Sun- daand , will enter upon the discharge of his duties from and after July 1st. Most of the present furniture will re main in the office. THK TRIBUNE con fidently expects thorough and competent service after Bert's entry into the city postoffice. All kinds of sheet-iron , tin and cop per work done at C. D. Palmer's. The manner in which the wet goods organ rehashes every fool attack made against Register Laws , and then criti cises those articles in a half-hearted way , is quite as amusing as characteristic. Fresh oysters , fresh fish and chick ens at Brewer Bros. ' meat market. The performance of "Fate , " last night , by the Graves & Halliday Comedy Co. , was fairly attended and appreciated. To-night the company appears in ' 'Dora. " The new writing desk for the Me- Entee House has been placed in posi tion. It is a handsome piece of furni ture. FARM LOANS.

Will sell at a bargain. A. E. HILL. QUEEN ESTHER. As we anticipated with no little de gree of pleasure , the rendition of the oratorio , "Esther , the Beautiful Queen. " at the Opera Hall , on Thursday and Saturday evenings of last week and also upon Monday evening of this week by a company of local talent , under the direction of Prof. Bixlor , of Denver , was pronouncedly the most , worthy and enjoyable musical event that has ever transpired in this city ; and in addition to having afforded our people a delight ful treat , it has given the art a stimu lus and impetus which will be i'clt fora long time to come. The costumes , which were the handiwork of the ladies of the chorus , were simply lovely in their varied beauty and were prominent factors in the success of the oratorio. The taste , ingenuity and painstaking efforts of the ladies in this regard call for hearty commendation. The leading characters were fitly chosen and well sustained. Prof. Bixler appearing in the roll of King Ahasuerus with all the effectiveness of which his full , round bass voice is capable. Queen Esther found an able representative in Mrs. T. S. Bosley , whose strong , clear soprano has delighted McCook audiences in times past. 1'poii this occasion she appeared to the very best advantage. Mrs. R. C. Fisher , as Xeres'n , was a IHvorite with the audience , as the manner in which she performed that prominentpart , ( coupled with a sweet contralto voice well handled ) justly entitled her to be. C. W. Paine's Mordecai was well taken , his rendering of difficult solos receiving marked attention. Miss Matie Smith , ( Mordecai's sister ) handled the solo parts of that character with great credit. The Prophetess solo by Miss Mollie Twilegar was sung with complimentary effect indeed. C. P. Rinker , High Priest , and D. L. Bisbee , Hegai , arc entitled to credit for the excellent style in which they managed their solos. J.F.Forbes' Scribe was simply indescribably funny. J. R. Doty , llarbonah , and Thos. Glass- cott , the Herald , come in for their share of commendation. Misses Nellie Fisher and Josie M en ardZeresh's attendants , ) sang their solos very prettily. The ex ceptionally sweet way in which little Maud Woods played the part of Ida , Hainan's child , was a pleasant feature of the ( iiitertainment. The chorus singing by Jews and Per sians , taking into account the shortness of time in preparation , etc. , was praise worthy and appreciated by the fair aud iences which greeted all these perform ances. All iu all and in a sentence , the affair was highly sucessful , and all the participants can feel proud of their efforts. The singing and marching by the chorus of little girls was heartily enchored upon ever } ' appearance. They were handsomely arrayed and acted their portion of the program nicely. The sincere and hearty thanks of the company is due Miss Laura Harris for tier assistance , a ? accompanist , in their hour of need. While the call upon her came unexpected , without previous preparation , she accompanied the cho rus and soloists in a manner thorough ind acceptable. Almost fifty dollars were realized to the Or. A. It. relief fund as their share iu the profits. Below we append the names of those assisting in the various chorus : Mrs. A. J. Pate ; Miss Mabel Hesi-rve Mis. 51 orris Miss Dora J hint Mrs. Ji. K. Woods ; Miss Anna Starbuck Mrs. .lohn YVilev i Miss Mamie Hunt Mrs.V..J. . Hills" MissMaudMcConnell Mis. C. C. Potter MissAdaP.IJuck Mrs. I. J.

King's Pages , Delia Johnston and Lena Coy. THE TKIIUTNK hopes that the success of this event may lead to other similar ones. They will do much toward stim ulating and cultivating the musical tal ent , with which our city is well provided. A CARD OF THANKS. The members of J. K. Barnes Post No. 207. & . A. R. , wish to express their thanks to Prof. A. G. Bixler , who so ably conducted and to the singers who so creditably rendered the oratorio of "Queen Esther ; ' " to the band for their gratuitous and excellent music , and to the citizens of McCook for such a gen erous attendance , whereby the Post is so greatly bcnefitted.
