We would intimate for the benefit of
our "smooth" contcnip. , that soft soap
can now be sent by mail.
A Culbertson barrister , Phil. Likes ,
Esq. , by name , was brutally assaulted
by a brick-layer and son , last week , and
quite seriously injured.
We are credibly informed that V.
Franklin of the Citizen's bank will build
a two-story brick on the meat market
corner , before the snow flies.
Next Monday , Ludwick & Trowbridge
will vacate their store on West Denni-
son street , and consolidate their stock

The individual who harbors gamblers
puts himself in the same catalogue with
those violators of law and public morals.
Both are equally reprehensible.
The total amount realized out of the
sheriff's sale , yesterday afternoon , is
$94.21. The judgments and costs

feot. Come again.
By the Courier we see that Represen
tative Hocknell has purchased the resi
dence of Jesse Welborn in the west
part of Indianola , with the seventy
acres adjoining , for $5,000.
Now , let us have a rest on such pro
ceedings as those of yesterday. Let us
all adopt the motto , "Pay as you go or
don't go , " and our city will have less
use lor the sheriff's hammer.
The wet goods organ's article on the

"At the Front" by Private Warner
at the Opera Hall , this and to-morrow
evening. Remember the time , place
and subject. The private promises to
give an interesting lecture , and the
subject is dear to all.
A small company of our young peo
ple indulged in the mazy waltz , last
evening , at the skating rink , to their
hearts' content. 1 he evening was de
lightfully cool and bracing , just the
right temperature to enjoy the terpsi-
chorean art.
SOLD AND SHIPPED J. ( > . Eaton of
the South Side sold his bunch of ponies ,
last week , to J. A. Brewer , who ship
ped them to Hastings , Friday evening.
Mr. Eaton , we regret to state , is pre
paring to remove from our midst to the
far west somewhere.
We understand that Mr. R. C. Fisher ,
who has been managing The Howard
Lumber Co.'s interests in this city for a
number of months past , will retire from
the employ of the company , the first of
the month , and that he will probably
engage in business per se in our city.
Work on the foundation of the Mc-
Neely brick was commenced , Monday j
afternoon. It is being built of brick ,
laid in cement , which will be used to a
considerable extent throughout the en
tire structure , insuring a permanence
and substantiality that ordinary mortar
cannot. |

is excavating for a new frame residence
to replace his old sod house. The frame '
structure is to be two stories high , the j
main part 16x24 , with a kitchen addij j
tion , 12x10. |
We are always pleased to have our'
friends call upon us at the office , and
we endeavor to greet all callers with
true gentlemanly courtesy , but an edi
tor's sanctum is a busy den and no place
for people to sit hour after hour and day
after day , however interested they may \
be in our welfare , for we feel that is
best promoted by hard work and strict
attention to business. Drop in often
and give us the news and your opinion
on the events of the day and other mat
ters that may conduce to the interest
and development of the country , but
don't take up a homestead.
The old settlers' meeting at Carrico ,
Hayes county , has been postponed or
changed to September 1st. Further
particulars will be given in proper time.
The office lately occupied by A. P.
Leech in the rear of the Citizens Bank
has been handsomely renovated and is
now occupied by J. W. Smith as a bar
ber shop and the neatest little shop in
the city is it. II. R. N. is now doing
the great act at his old quarters , lately
occupied by Air. Smith.
The stock of W. S. Caldwell , the
West End druggist , was sold under the
hammer , yesterday afternoon , at the
Citizen's bank corner , as advertised.
Almost everything went at a song , with
but slow bidding. Joe Spotts cried the
sale and furnished considerable merri
ment for the sun-pelted spectators.
Notwithstanding the other attractions
of the same evening , the basket socia
ble hefd at the rink , Friday evening last ,
by the ladies of the Congregational
church , was well attended and thorough
ly enjoyed. Socially and financially ,
the two great elements by which we
measure such events , it was a success.
An interesting communication from
Box Elder fails to appear , this week , be
cause the writer has failed to sign his
or her name thereto a very essential
matter to the editor. We desire to im
press this upon the minds of our cor-
respondents. No communications are ,
printed without the writer's names are ]
known.
The Arion Bell Ringers appeared be
fore our people , upon three different oc
casions , Friday and Saturday of last
week. The company was greatly crip
pled by the absence of Field , the lead
ing member , and the entertainments
given were much inferior to those given
last season. They played to crowded
houses as usual.
On Tuesday evening , Rev. P. C.
Johnson , P. E. , delivered an excellent
lecture at the M. E. church , before the
members of the county institute and
others. We are sorry that a larger aud
ience did not greet the Elder , whose
vigorous , terse and practical remarks
on any subject are listened to with
pleasure and profit by our poople.
It is vrith pleasure and no small pride
that AVC announce thatRed Willow coun
ty helps to supply the Lincoln public
school with teachers , this coming term ,
Miss Ada P. Buck having recently been
elected to one of the departments. Miss
Buck has requisite points of merit for a
successful teacher , and she will fill the
position with credit to herself and profit
the scholars.
IT is with feelings of sadness and re
gret that we publish elsewhere in this
issue an account of the trailing in the
dust and filth of the metropolis' gutters ,
of the judicial ermine , by a western
judgewho is well known in this country.
The humiliating and disgusting specta
cle therein delineated cannot be lost
sight of by the people of this district.
The dignity of the law and the self-re
spect of the people must rectify this
matter at the earliest opportunity.
THE TRIBUNE rises to remark that
real estate on the South Side is looking
up. At a late session of the county
commissioners , a resident of that part
of the county , so are information has
it , appeared before the honorable board
with a bill of damages of $492 , for four
acres of land used in a road recently
established along side of his quarter.
What think ye of § 123 per acre for
Red Willow county soil ? Of a truth
does the mantel of Eli rest upon this
land.
We do not entertain a shadow of a
suspicion as to the morale and efficiency
of our police force. It is just possible
that they and the Mayor are ignorant of
the existence of the gambling dens on
West Dennison street and South Main
Avenue ; not to speak of the numerous
dens of infamy , whose inmates are so
disgustingly prominent upon our streets.
If it is ignorance , it is inexcusable. If
these matters are allowed to exist
through culpable negligence , it is scarce
ly less than criminal.
A special G. A. R. excursion train
train passed through the city , Monday
night , for California. Considerable in
terest was manifested when it was first
and incorrectly reported that General
Logan was one of the distinguished
travelers aboard , all of which ended in
disgust when the truth became known.
Preparations were on foot to receive
"Black Jack" with our superb band , etc. ,
in the hope that he might vouchsafe his
presence and peradventure a short
speech. But our hopes were necessarily
blasted by his taking the U. P. route.

INSTITUTE ITEMS.
The sessions of the county institute ,
this week , have been more and more in
teresting and instructive , with a largely
increased attendance , there being some
fifty teachers registered Tuesday
eveningRev. Johnson gave the teachers
a characteristic and excellent lecture ,
which did not lack appreciation Prof.
Barber of the University delivered a
lecture on the "Mission of Literature , "
Wednesday evening , which though only
heard by a small audience , by reason of
the rain storm , was highly spoken of by
those who did brave the inclemency of
the weather and the mud G. W.
Minkler's efforts in the line of his pro
fession surveying , are described as
being interesting and instructive
Examinations for teachers' certificates
have been conducted at the close of each
session by Prof. Webster. It is expect
ed to finish up the examination work ,
to-morrow afternoon , or by Saturday
morning at the latest The institute
will close with the session , to-morrow
afternoon , and a sociable for the teach
ers , will be held at the rink in the even
ing. There will be toasts , refreshment ?
and a jolly goc d time in general. A
general invitation is extended. . . .The
efforts of Profs. Hubbell and Webster
and Mr. H. T. Anderson to make the
institute most profitable to the teachers
have been crowned witli gratifying suc
cess , for success we believe is the proper
term to use in connection with the
endeavors of these instructors and the
work of the institute This evening
State Superintendent Jone ? will speak
to the members of the institute and to
as many more as caii find it convenient
to go to hear him.
The place that once knew William
Hildebrand. the individual under bonds
for attempting to rape a German girl in
Elaycs county , some few weeks since ,
will in all human probability not know
rim again for some time , unless some
minion of the law peradventure'pounces
upon his carcass , happily. The wilcy
William is supposed to have left thi
immediate part of the moral vineyard
ibout Monday night , since when no one
: ias discerned hide or hair of him. It
may be a coincidence , but a horse bcloHg-
iug to 3Ir. I. Hover is supposed to have
perambulated away about the same time
that Hildebrand became a fugitive from
justice. Ilildebrand's family , we believe ,
! s still in the city , persinnably not in
affluent circumstances.
Two persons from the Willow indulg
ed in a ' 'gentle racket" before llayden's
old stand , Tuesday evening , during
which one of the participants' drew a
knife and made a savage lunge at the
other , fortunately without result. The i
combatant ? were separate' ! before either
had damaged the others person.il appear- !
ance to any extent. >
During the stormlast evening , James
E. Carney , a former employe in the B.
& M. yard at this place , but now resid
ing upon a claim six miles south of town ,
was killed by a stroke of lightning. At
the time of going to press we are unable
to gather any of the particulars. A son
of the deceased was struck , and serious
ly injured , but will recover. His team
was also killed. The deceased was
about 35 years of age , and leaves a large
family to mourn his sudden and untime
ly demise. The case is a sad reminder
of the uncertainty of life. In the
prime of manhood without a moment's
premonition he was cut off.
The Constantino Coinmandery ot this
city entertained quite a company of
visitors at their meeting , last Thursday
evening. Among the Sir Knights from
abroad were : Messrs. Robt. Oliver ,
J. B. lieartwell , M. L. and C. L. Alex
ander , Jacob Fisher , Dr. Morrill , B. F.
ll-iwaltj Wm. Buchanan , A. Yeitb , J.
J. Wemple and C. K. Lawson , all of
Hastings. A banquet was served at a
late hour.
An unmarried man named Lampman
was killed , yesterday , while digging a
well for some party about 14 miles
northwest from the city. It appears

dropped out iol the bucket , falling to
the bottom of the well , which was 00
feet deep , killing the unfortunate man
below instantly.
Two plain drunks , Harry Hoffman
and James Ilannon , were up before
