Among last week's transfers was that of the Dorothy property on North Man chester street , to F. I ) . Burgess , the water company ' s plumber. t The residence of L.Lowman on North Madison street is to be the place of hold ing the next meeting of the Y. P. A , , which is to occur-in three weeks. The Great Architect was prodigal of mud in the creation of the delinquent subscribpr who returns his paper bearing the strange device , "Refused. " One of the encouraging and favora ble signs of the tune is the fact that the demand for houses to rent is entirely un- supplied. More tenement houses are needed. The Y. P. A. met at the residence of J. S. LeHew , in the northeastern part ofthe city , last Friday evening , with a good attendance , despite wind and weather. We take the coin , the customer takes the bargain and the bargain takes the cake. That's the way business is done at Bowman & Laycock's. . Come in and see our spring attractions in Boots & Shoes. The Tribune is in receipt of neat cards announcing the nuptials of Mr. W. 0. Bond and Miss II. Kate Teel of Bondville , this county , April 27th. We extend hearty congratulations and well wishes. Last week , U. G. Dixon sold his res idence on North Macfarland street to F. II. Fowler. He also disposed of lots 11 and 12 , block 7 , with residence there on , to Mr. Chaffee , an employe of the B. & M. Following the one now rapidty ap proaching completion , Larry McEntee has commenced another residonce on Manchester Avenue , just immediately south of number one. We understand that both will be for rent. Our worthy superintendent has caught the prevailing fever , and is having a considerable addition built to his resi dence on corner of Dakota and Mar shall. He has also set out a number of trees around his premises. Ground was broken , yesterday , for the new Lutheran church. The con tractors are at work preparing bids , and the work will be pushed as speedily as possible. The pastor has nearly com pleted solicitingand has $2,400 on book. One of the noble steeds doing duty in the city struct sprinkler became weary with toil , as is its wont frequently , Mon day morning , and reclined upon the tongue of that vehicle heavily-breaking the same in places two. The break was quickly repaired and the sprinkler at work. t yj , _ Announcement Rev. Joel S. Kelsey will speak , next Sunday evening , upon "The Heunion of Friends in Heaven. " ' This city has on huid a job lot of tramps and bummers that she will will ingly dispose of at phenomenally low figures. The City Meat Market of Brewer & Wilcox indulged in a new canvas awn ing , this week , at their Main Avenua establishment. The Methodist brethren contemplate , so our information is , s ime extensive improvements on their house of worship in our city , this spring. The Building Association has under way a comfortable residence for J. A. Cordeal , Esq. , on Monroe street , just north of W. W. Josselyn ' s handsome property. From the Curtis Record we learn of the death , April 20th , of Grace , aged 19 years , daughter , of Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Hamilton. Their friends in Red Willow county will learn of their be reavement with sorrow and rogret. Last Sunday , Stanton Rolla ' s little girl met with a terrible accident , while playing with a poker. The little one seems to have fallen with the ugly in strument in her mouth , the poker pene trating through her cheek , just below the eye , with painful results. A telegram from Col ton , Cal. , an nounces the birth to Mr. and Mrs. Geo , Hocknell , the first of this week , of a daughter. The Tribune extends con gratulations , and might be induced to consume a fragrant Havana in honor of the young lady's advent. The city authorities hare , this week , made a needed improvement at the in tersection of Main Avenue and Denni- son street , in putting in a wooden un der-ground drain. Brick , stone or tile would have been better and cheaper in the long run , however. We have it that W. S. Morlan , Esq. , is figuringlon the erection of a handsome residence to cost in the neighborhood of $5,000. It is to have the modern im provements , and will be the finest in the Republican valley. We hope its con struction will be definitely determined upon. . A small system of sewerage is just what is needed in this city , especially on Main Avenue and Dennison street. We hear the matter frequent ] } ' mooted and would like to see some active measures instituted. The question of disposing of sowage , with the hotels of the city particularlyis a serious and troublesome one indeed. Our esteemed bourbon contemporary seems to have been rendered absolutely inarticulate for sheer gratitude by our fraternal ministrations in its ownest be half during its recent passage through tie fiery furnace of fierce persecution , [ n other words , o. e. b. e. is doubtless too full for utterance. We desire no morn tender expression. A fresh lot of candies received at Chas. Noble's , this week. In the appointment of O. C. Gaston of Omaha to the position of Court Re porter of this district , Judge Cochran has made an excellent selection. Mr. Gaston conies highly recommended as a stenographer of ability and a type writer of skill. He has already taken up his residence in this city , and will devdte his entire attention to the duties of his position. For a good suit or pants go to The Tailor , L. Bemheimer. The Congregational church of our city did a very proper thing , last Sun day morning , in unanimously voting to retain their present pastor , Rev. Joel S. Kelsey , who has inaugurated a good work and infused a new spirit in the church here since his pastorate of tire year ending July 1st. The members of the church also decided to make some improvements in the appear ance and convenience of their edifice. The latest improved gasoline stoves for sale by Lytle Bros. & Co. We are advised that a company will be formed to put in a line of sewerage from the railroad to the river , the same to connect with the round house and eating house S3'stems , and to any system the city or private enterprise may con struct for the municipality. We rejoice to see this move , hoping that a portion of the city will be provided with sewer age in the near future. This enterprise will be a great assistance and conven ience to this end. FOR SALE.

The Mission Band of the Lutheran church holds regular meetings in the School House , every Sunday afternoon at half-past two o'clock , mountain time. The Band has begun to study "The Gospel in Ail Lind * " It is the aim to make these Sun lavtliornoou meet ings interesting and profitable to older persons as well a to children. The topic for next Sunday is "China. " The exercises will consist of a short historical address by Rev. E. J. Hall , with appro priate readings , recitations and singing by the children. The topic will be illus trated with Chinese curiosities and pic ture cards. Ah Wing and Charlie Chung , two chinamen now residents of McCook , will be present in native costume and read a portion of scripture in the lan guage of the Mandarins. Everybody welcome. Olive Kimmel , Pres. Lena Coy , Secretary. Come and see our White Goods and Swiss Embroidery. L LOW MAN & SON. Wednesday afternoon , the stable of Philin Weick in South McCook was de- stroyedwitli contents. The building was fired by some children , who were playing with matches in the same. Two ponies and a double set of new harness were burned , entailing a severe loss upon Mr. Weick , who some time since suffered the loss of an arm in the B. & M. yards at this place. Sympathy is universally ex pressed for the unfortunate man. We suggest and hope it may take a practical turn , as the victim of the affair is deserv ing and in circumstances not easy. It may not be amiss to draw a lesson of greater care and precaution in placing matches beyond the reach of children , in whose hands they are frequently so destructive , while being a great blessing and benefit to mankind in general. Remember that Chas. Noble is head quarters for everything fresh and clean in the staple and fancy grocery line. It is given on good authority , in fact gleaned from a personal letter from Gen eral Manager McCool , that the Omaha & Kansas City railroad will extend its lines from Alma west as far as Culbert- sou at least , this season , paralleling the B. & M. that distance This informa tion conies as a most welcome surprise to this section , which will experience in vigorated and renewed activity ali along the line. It is positively iterated by those claiming to be in possession of tiie facts that the road will be among the certainties of the suu ler. * . , . . . . . - . - . - . - i . . . .
