A new i-e.-idence on Macfarland street , this week , by Larry McEntee. This week , J. C. Allen & Co. present a slightly modified bill of fare. Read it. The city schools commenced the spring term , Monday , with a good attendance. The firm of Snavely & Starr of In- dianola has been dissolved by mutual consent. 'Alf and 'aIf transpires as being a most suggestive caption , not at all inapropos. A shop has been built on Manches ter street by McAdams & Lawless , con tractors and builders. This week , Dr. T. H. Stutzman is having an addition built to his residence on North Monroe street. Remember that Chas. Noble is head quarters for everything fresh and clean in the staple and fancy grocery line. The saloon and bum elements are quick to recognize their names when called down. Just hear them chirp ! Fairbury has raised $1,500 to pay the expenses of a committee sent out to get points on iho management of boom. What is McCook doing in that line ? We glean fro'r. Washington dis patches that Henry Crabtree , county commissioner for the Indianola district , has been granted a pension. Last week , H. G. Dixon sold lot 4 , block 11 , on Madison street , south of Congregational church , to Engineer F. L. Robinson of the B. & M. With a commodious kitchen addition , neat front porch and tasty fence , W. C. LaTourette's residence on Marshall st. presents a comfortable and cosy appear ance. The Tribune would like to see a $20,000 school house built this season. Little Cambridge on the Medicine has just given us the cue by voting $6,000 bonds for that purpose. Now that another regiment of state militia is to be organized , we hope that McCook will renew her efforts to secure a company in the same. The material is here in excellence and abundance. The Y. P. A. met at the residence of H. W. Cole , last Friday evening , with a large attendance , considering the dis agreeable state of the weather , and the usual pleasurable features of these oc casions. The Lutheran social which was to have been held at the residence of Father Pade in West McCook , Tues day evening of this week , has been postponed until Tuesday evening of next week , the 19th instant. It is a matter of mild amusement to see with what facility our esteemed bourbon contemporary can crawl under the canvas. When there is any music or firing our contemp. can always be found under the band wagon or behind the sutler ' s tent. The daily and weekly press of the state report a startling array of fatali ties from measles , at present very prevalent , many due to exposure and lack of attention and aid , however. Care and attention are essentials in this very common ailment. Their absence tend to complications and danger. The Tribune has just added another fine job press to its already excellent outfit , recognized as the best in South western Nebraska. We are better pre pared than ever to execute plain and fancy job work expeditiously and at bot tom figures. Our impriut is a guaran tee of clean , tasty work and the best of material. Elsewhere appears the notice of the dissolution of the partnership between Messrs. Wiley & Bede , land attorneys. Mr. Bede continues the business of the late firm at the old stand. Mr. Wiley has secured quarters over the Citizens bank , and will hereafter devote his un divided attention to the law and to col lections. The Star restaurant has been purchas ed by a gentleman by the name of Day , who has leased the property to Thos. Duffey. the gentleman now in charge. Mr. King became owner of the Com mercial House at Grafton , in the deal , and he has moved there and is now oper ating his new hostelry , at that place. The kind , gentle and thoroughly soak ing rains of Monday and Tuesday are of inestimable value to this country in moistening the soil for the husbandman and in setting at rc6t the uneasiness that prevailed to some extent , among farmers and others interested in the countn. All is now lovely and inviting and encouraging. The entertainments by the Will L. Smith Combination , Friday and Satur day evenings of last week , were not greeted with audiences of any consider able proportions , nor were their efforts apparently very highly appreciated. Our people are becoming unusually shy of traveling companies and require indu bitable evidences of ability of same be fore they turn out in numbers Arbor day , Friday , the 22d inst. , will be observed by the public schools of the city. The exercises will trans pire on the school grounds , if the weather prove clement ; at the Opera Hall probably , if the day be unpleas ant. The same will consist of appro priate recitations , music , tree planting , addresses by Mayor Helm , Esquires Davis , Colfer and Cochran. The aim shall be to make th e exercises of the afternoon worthy of the public atten tion. * _ Business men , April demands your attention to spring adverfcipinc : ' . You should endeavor to be ahead of all , and not the last one. Money invariably flows into the channel of business well advertised. On no account leave this until the last hour. Result de pends upon action at the right season. Eminently j'our best advertising medi um is your local newspaper. Shrewd advertisers devote a part of each week to their advertising. Take the best. The new time table which went into effect , last Sunday , contained but one change so far as effects Supt. Camp bell's division. No. 4 now leaves Mc Cook at 5:50 : , instead of 4:30 : , as pre vious to Sunday. All passengers for Lincoln , Omaha , etc. , now transfer at this station. Passengers on No. 4 now take supper at ( his n.7tng ; iir.ire , as that train does not stop at Oxford for that meal as heretofore. Altogeth er the arrangement is more satisfactory all around. A new postoffice has been established north of McCook , in the southwest cor ner of township G , range 20 , Frontier county. The name of the office is "Quick , " in honor of M. W. Quick , the genial Nasby. Supplies have been received , and the first , mail will go out to the new office from this city , to morrow. This will prove a great con venience to the patrons in that neigh borhood. Heretofore all mail to that locality came from Indianola as a dis tributing point. The new arrangement will deliver mail more promptly , and will doubtless prove satisfactory. We have it that certain individuals have been taking exceptions to the al lusions in last week's Tribune con cerning the "relegation of saloon and bum elements to retired seats in the synagogue. " We have this to say in explanation , not in retraction , that while SOME of our best business men and citizens supported "Ike" for the aia-oralty , the bulk of his henchmen eame from the saloon and bum elements [ ) f this city. This is our emphatic po sition , and it will require more than the loud-mouthed ravings of a few strikers to change it an iota. The Tribune's Dpinions are notdependent upon the noisy threats of a few cowards. The easter services , Sunday after noon , at the M. E. church , which were ittended by the Knights Templar of this and neighboring towns , ( the de- layal of the noon train and the wind storm , which raged at that time , to the 2ontrary notwithstanding , ) were atten tively enjoyed by quite ; tn audience. The sermon came from the eloquent lips of Presiding Elder Johnson , who liandled the subject , "The Resurrec tion of Christ , " iu his usual , masterly style. The music of the occasion was jxcellent , eliciting complimentary ob servations indeed , and speaking well for the training of'the Choral Union of ; he city. The Knights appeared in miform , presenting a fine , soldierly as pect. pect.A A nice selection of reward of merit ; ards just received at this office.

E. church , last Tuesday evening , under the auspices of the Mission Band , of the Lutheran church , was greeted by a fair audience and high appreciation. The Juvenile band , the G. A. R. , aud the "Jingle Jingle" song were all thor oughly enjoyed. The recitations and select readings were good. Rev. Kim- mel served as auctioneer , selling the hammer , with the privilege of breaking 2 dozen eggs , to A. C. Ebert for $1. The office of first cashier to H. F.Pade , for 50c. Second cashier to Miss Alice Murphy for same price. These officers acquitted themselves well , reporting the proceeds of evening , $35.94. At close of exercises , two eggs were filled by the audience for the benefit of the Juvenile band , amount $1.70. Bro. Hall re warded the children with easter cards. Several applications for membership will be received , next Sunday afternoon at 2:30 : , P. M.when , the Y. P. M. B. holds its regular meeting. The thanks of the Mission Band are extended to the M. E. society for use of church. To Juvenile band for their excellent assistance in music. Also to all friends for aid and encouragement. Ohio , Missouri , Penn sylvania and Virginia , contributed to fi nancial success. Great credit ia due Mrs. J. W. Kimmel for her untiring of- forts in preparation. NOTES OF THE STORM. The wind and dust storm which pre vailed hereabouts quite numerously , last Saturday , was the cause of some damage , more uneasiness and greater loss of temper. The wind was decided ly able-bodied at times , and with its complement of dust , made life a bur den generally and in particular. The following damage and loss were incurred : The temporary kitchen at the Central Ho tel was much the worse for its tussle with the rampant wind. Frank Kingsley of South McCook had both his barn and wind-mill blown down and very considerably damaged. In various other localities fences and min or buildings were promiscuously distributed around the neighborhood. The Congregational church edifice was se verely wrenched at the west end , which was separated from the rest of the building a couple of inches. The greater portion of the roof on T. B. Campbell's residence on South Madison was blown eff , slightly damaging the adjoining property of C. JN" . 13atchellor in its flight and fall. The damage to the Campbell residence was in the main repaired before the rain of Sunday night , or the loss to the proprietor would have been much larger. PRAIRIE FIRE. The following items concerning the prairie fire which prevailed south of the city , the close of last week , came un der the observation of a friend , who fa vored us with the same : J. D. Gerver , Gerver precinct , lost two reapers , stables and sheds , 7 hogs , 3 spring salves , all his hay and fodder. W. II. Benjamin , Grant precinct , sustained the destruction of his stables and sheds , 20 tons of hay , one cow and calf. Mrs. Christian , a widow who resides across the line in Kansas , lost her house and goods , slothing , etc. , and was rendered destitute. W. S. Webster , Grant precinct , was a loser thereby as to his stable and a quantity 3f hay saving his house and carriage shed. Lemon Cross , who lives in Kansas , also lost all Iiis com and hay , only saving his team by leading them into his house. Ephraim C. Gaston suffered the destruction jf a § 100 worth of trees , etc. , a matter of toss and regret to him. The city council held a short session in the office of Helm & Davis , last even ing , with Mayor Helm in the chair. Present , Councilmen Hess , Huddleston , McEntee and Kenyon , and Clerk Hul- burd. The business of importance trans ited was : The approval of Police Judge Bennett's bond. A motion instructing the clerk to issue warrants to various iudges and clerks at the late city elec tion for th ? amount of their respective services $2 each. And a motion or- lering the clerk to request the news papers of the city to file sealed bids for the city printing for the ensuing year , [ yith the city clerk , such bids .to be ac companied by sworn affidavits as to cir- julation. Adjourned. The Republican Valley Medical Asso- jia'tion convened at Arapahoe , Tuesday ) f this week , and a decidedly interesting session is reported. Drs. Spickelmier and Davis of this city represented our local professional talent. Drs. Gunnof Arap- ihoe and Davis of McCook were selected is delegates to the next state medical as sociation meeting. Our esteemed bourbon contemporary jvidently failed to "catch onto" that stirring little Marshall street episode of ast Thursday evening. We are unable ; o explain this omission on the part of hat enterprising , religious organ upon iny other hypothesis. Afresh lot of candies received at 3has. Noble's , this week. , , , , .

French , editor of tho Nebraska Con gregational News , published at Lincoln , has been in attendance upon tho mlnistoral con vention , this week. Attorneys Cochran and Colfer were down at Lincoln , the first of the week , on an im portant mission , the icsult of which we hope in the near future te report. Mrs. Rebecca Hamm. this week , has the postoftice address of her Tribune changed to Yuma , Colorado , near which point she has entered a government claim. Mr. and Mrs. L'Roy Allen entertained a small company of young people , with a tea party , at their cosy home on North Monroe street , last Saturday evening , in a character istic and clever manner. Attorney J. E. Cochran and Mr. Thomas Colfer of McCook were callers on the Jour nal , Monday. The former is quite unani mously endorsed by men and papers in Iiis district for appointment to the new judge ship. Lincoln Journal. Miss Alice Murphy of the city schools was taken down , yesterday morning , with mea sles , and will doubtless be confined to the house the rest of the week therewith. Her grade has been taken charge of by Miss A n- na McNamara , whose place Miss Lou Clark fills in the interim. Among those in attendance upon the K. T. Easter services , at the M. E.

Mathes , a former business man In jur city , and an old timer hereabouts , arriv ed in town , yesterday morning , from Los Ajigeles , Cal. , the present city of his love and abode. To say that Mr. Mathes is de lighted with the sunny land of his adoption is drawing it mildly. He reports a wonderful growth and advancement in reality values in j Southern California , and the climate as sim- ! [ ily supernal. He regards California's boom , is genuine and permanent , and thinks that Lower California will eventually be the gar- len spot of the universe one great flower jed. He will be here a few days on busi ness matters. DIED. TAYLOR At his late residence on the Wil low , Mr. J. A. Taylor. The deceased was born in Courtland countv , N. Y. , May 27th , 1834.

The Republican Valley Association of ' jongregational Churches has been in con- : mention in our city , since Tuesday noon , [ tvith a full attendance of ministers from he various churches. The sessions have jeen full of interest , though but slimly ittended perforce of the continued in- jlemency of the weather.
