"The Christian View" is the caption
of a modest , hut excellent little relig

ment of this establishment , the first of
this week. Rev. Joel S. Kelsey of the
Congregational church of this city pre
sides gracefully and with ability over
the destiny of the paper , which is de
signed for exclusive service in the realm
of Christian work. It is probable that
it may become a regular monthly publi
cation. We hope such may be the
case. It will doubtless receive every
encouragement anticipated , and be pro
ductive of much good in the wide open
field it is intended to enter.

A B. & M. freight brakeman on the
west end , named T. J. Golfer , was
thrown from a box car , the first of the
week , sustaining a badly sprained foot ,
besides being otherwise considerably
shaken up. It appears that the train
upon' which he was performing the du
ties of "head" brakeman broke in two ,
Golfer at once signaled the engineer ,
who applied the air , stopping the front
section of the train so suddenly as to
throw the brakeman off the train , per
forming repeated somersaults in the
descent , with the result above indicat
ed. Mr. Golfer came ' down to this city ,
Tuesday morning , 'for treatment.
Eggs wanted at Noble & Brickey's.
The highest market price paid.
A SCHEME L. Clute , one of Arap-
ahoe's prominent merchants , has adopt-
'
ed a good , though not entirely original ,
scheme of advertising the dead-beats of
that town and vicinity. Last week's
Mirror contains his first list , embracing
some 85 names , whose owners are in
debted to him in the aggregate about
$650. Mr. Glute has more of the same
( kind on his books and promises to
{ transform the advertisement into a se
rial , if the exegincies of the case de
mand. Such a list might be made pub-
( lic in this community , with profit to
our merchants , who have been victim-
J izcd , to a greater or less degree , by the
omnipresent and contemptible dead-
beat.

MEYER Monday morninjr , January 10th , 1887 ,
Alfred Meyer , of South McCook , aged 20
years.
The deceased , last summer , was severely
stunned by a stroke of lightning' , which seri
ously effected his spine , from which he never
recovered , and which finally caused his do.ith.
The funeral occurred , yesterday afternoon ,
Rev. Rodebaugh of the Methodist church con
ducting the services.
THE following brief sketch of our
former townsman is taken from the
State Journal of the 9th :
HON. GILBERT L. LAWS.
the gentleman who was elected last
November to the secretaryship of state
is also well-known in all parts of the
state , more particularly from his connec
tion with the land office at McCook , of
which he was register for three years
and eight months. Mr. Laws was born
in Richland county , 111. , in that section
of the state better known as "Egypt , "
in 1838. His early life was spent in
Wisconsin , he having lived in Nebraska
some over p.levcn years. Mr. Laws en
listed for the late war in the Fifth Wis
consin regiment , but was not permitted
to continue in the service long , a severe
wound received at Williamsburg on
May 5 , 1SG2 , precluding the possibility
of his doing effective service. A leg
left on a southern battle field , however ,
attests his bravery and devotion to his
country in her time of need.
Soon after the change in national ad
ministration Mr. Laws was found to
possess too muchpernicious political
activity , " and relieved from his duties
at McGook. While a resident of Wis
consin he served in several places of
public trust , which , with his experience
in official duties in this state , render it
certain that the duties devolving upon
him in his new position will be satisfac
torily discharged.
TOWN. 4 , RANGE 30.
Tim fine weather of the past six weeks that
was appreciated so highly caught a severe
cold , last week.
Little Maud who has been liomusteading
with her sister , Miss Gertie Coleman , suffered
a severe attack of croup , on Saturday night
last , which kept them up all night. A kind
friend , Baxter Davis , brought them to their
old home on Sabbath. She is much better at
this writing.
That severe cold the weather caught , last
week , appears to be pretty thoroughly broken
up. A few doses of the sun's rays , adminis
tered with several applications of warm
breezes from the north , had a wonderful
effect in ameliorating the atmosphere. In
plain English , we are having a spell of fine
weather.
We have thought , should an angel visit this
mundane sphere , we didn't know of a more
suitable place ; for its appearance than Town.
4 , IJange ISO , lied Willow county , Nebraska.
We were pleasantly surprised to learn that
on the afternoon of December 30th , 1SSO , one
made its appearance here. Its arrival was
hailed with ecstacics of delight by our friends ,
Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Angel of this town.where
it applied for shelter and care. It is of the
masculine gender and weighs ten pounds.
All doing nicely , Chas. included. They call
him Alva. May his life be all his name im
plies , as pure and innocent as an Angel.
Miss Gertie Coleman and Miss Hettie
Moore were passengers on Xo. 40 , Wednes
day. They go to Franklin , this state , by invi
tation , to participate in the wadding festivi
ties of Miss Mabel Wilson , which takes place
Thursday. From there they go to the old
home of Miss Moore nwir Alma , where they
will spend several days visiting friends before
returning to McCook. Miss Wilson was an
old class-mate of Miss Moore at the Frank
lin Academy. We intimate to Miss Mabel it
would afford us great pleasure to test her
proficiency in the culinary art. In other
words , "pass the pie. "
M. II. Cole and family arrived in this town. ,
June 22d , 1884. He had taken a claim in Feb
ruary previous. After paying freight on some
farm implements and household goods , they
had but few dollars left His principal capi.
tal consisted of a spirit of indomitable energy
and an intelligent , industrious wife , possess
ing according to size more energy than
himself. Tiieir worldly possessions consist
ed , principallyof three horses and a few cow s.
They went to work with a will and now have
a large portion in cultivation , their farm all
under fence , with a cross fence making two
fields , a good comfortable residence , stabling ,
shed 20x50 feet in size , two wells , with wind
mill at one well , on a substantial tower , neatly
painted. He stated some time since , that he
could see no object in accepting 52,000 for his
farm , as he did not know where he could
better himself. They were renters in Iowa
and their experience was , it took about all
they could raise in the summer to keep them
through the winter. To sum it up , the follow
ing result is obtained : At the end of 10 years
labor on a rented farm in Iowa , they are
worth SSOO. 1 % years on a farm of their own
in lied Willow county , and they are worth.
52,800. The above are facts that will bear
investigation. Win. Coleman is responsible
for inducing them to locate in this county.
We toss our cap up for lied Willow county
every time.
Is it not surprisingly strange ho\v weighty
some of these energetic school inarms are ?
It is our good fortune to be appreciatively
acquainted with one , whom a good mathe
matician might presume to estimate her
weight , with some degree of accuracy , at
one hundred and twenty-live pounds avoir
dupois. But , being unacquainted with her
powers of endurance and will force , one
would naturally conclude it would tax her
energies severely to successfully hold n jack
rabbit down for any considerable length of
time ; yet she is holiting down , to a nicety ,
a choice piece of land , where she may enjoy
and sing of "peace and plenty on : i forty
acre farm. " Now if some energetic ( ? ) young
man , or old bach. , should call to inquire after
the state of her health , with one eye on her
hand and heart , the other at the farm , wo
would say to her , give them the advice the
white hatted philosopher ( Greeley ) gave to
Hon. J. B. Grinnell of Iowa , "Go west , young
man , go west , and grow up with the other
calves of the country. * ' Some way that don't
seem to be the exact quotation , but probably
very applicable in this case. We hope
Miss J. will take no offense at this bit of
pleasantry. If she should , and proceeds to
apply her energies to the reducing of our
corpulency , we'd wish it were the 3d of July ,
and we aboard the train bound for Denver.
We would flee to the mountains , cliuib Pike's
Peak , seek some secluded retreat in the
"Garden of the God's , " hidu iu the "Cave of
the Winds , " or"Grand Cavcni5"to avert our
fearful and certain doom. We would not
give much for what's left when she got
through with us. But she has such a kind ,
affectionate heart , we don't feel a bit afraid ,
but proceed in the even tenor of our way ,
singing ,
We want to be a granger ,
And trith the granger stand ,
A tub of 'tatcrs on our head ,
A pitch-fork in each hand.
