We saw the finest thing on the market in the line of screen doors , handsomely painted , at the Badger lumber yard. The commissioners adveitise , this issue , for sealed bids for the construction of bridges over the Kcpubhcan near this city. Hake , the contoitionist , entertained a small audience , on the streets , Tuesday even ing , and gathered in a harvest of niekles and dimes. Albert McMillen has placed a handsome soda water fountain in his drug store , this week. It is one of the linest in this part of the slate.

Everybody come and help us celebrate the Fourth of July. Every arrangment "will be perfected for a time galore. Biing the family , your wife's follcs and the neighbors. A rous ing lime is absolutely assured. Softer than the rustle of an angel's wing , sweeter than the music of Appollo's lute , more entrancing far than the notes from Or pheus'lyre , is the voice of him who says : "Put me down for a year's subscription. " The lloldrege club and the "Famous" will cross willows on the local "diamond , " to morrow. The visiting boys are base ballists of no mean ability and they will doubtless. give our club an opportunity to exhibit their prowess fully. Quite extensive improvements are progress ing on Banks & Homer's business place on lower Main Avenue , this week. A commodi ous addition is being built in the rear and the front elevated , and its appearance and con venience otherwise greatly enhanced. The Congregational people have in view some improvements that will materially add to the appearance of their house of worship. It is proposed to paint and paper the interior in an artistic manner , and to lay a wallc from the church to the sii ' .e walk , among other things. The reputation of any section of country depends upon what is said about it. It is our duty and to our interest to represent our ad vantages in the best possible light to talk up and not down. We are surrounded with c-nough natural resources to make this one of the most prosperous sections in the country. What we need is push. McCook certainly has an unusually large number of secret societies. It every man be longing to one or more of them put in every day practice the principals of virtue and re ligion taught and sworn to within the lodge rooms there would be a far diffei cut showing in their life records and their passports surer for admittance into heaven. Our fellow-townsman , Frank II. Spear man of the Fanners & Merchants bank , has an excellentand exhaustive paper in the July Harper on "The Great American Desert. " The same is handsomely and appropriately illustrated and is meritorious as a literary production , besides being an able defense and comprehensive resume of the so-called G. A.

A di Duelling rain fell in this city and vicin ity , Monday evening , the .same being ac companied by vivid , ugly lightning and startling peels of thunder. Tho water rush ed down the streets like diminutive rivers , causing some damage to cellars on the low lands. ThoFrees&Hocknell Lumber Co. 's stable , situated in the rear end of their yard was struck by lightning and almost entirely consumed , the lire company , with tho assist ance of nature's bountiful water works , suc ceeding in confining thellames to that struct ure. The horses were saved as well as the carriage and other property of value in the stable. The loss will aggiegate about § 500. A regular "gooso drowncr. " It uuvur rains In Nebraska. It pours. 'L'be few telephone ) wires in the city wore nioro or less elTected by the electricity , some more tlmii less. J. RGansehow suffered n loss of about 100 in surplus stock duniaged by tho water that rim into his cellar to the depth of two feet or more. II. II. Kerry's cellar was full to the floor. The jroods stored therein were In tho ninin In jars and tubs , and his damage was merely nominal. There were n few inches of water in the Mc- Neely block cellar , in which George I'axton had a small amount of tobacco stored. No damage worthy or mention. Messrs. Helm & Davis and C. A. Frederick were damaged to considerable extent by the water and mud , which fllled their ofiices to a depth of two or three feet. One length of hose succumbed to the press ure , a large rent being made in the same , which necessitated its removal from the line and occasioned a short delay. Tho basement of ttie Citizens bank building might have been utilized for natutorium pur poses immediately after tho deluge , before tho pump brigade got down to effective work. The dwellings of Conductor John Morris and Stantou Icolla on East Denuison were also struck by lightning , fortunately without in jury to the occupants or material damage to the buildings , however. The fire boys , or rather the few who remain ed until the end , feel very grateful and under obligations to Clerk Brandt of the Eating House for favors extended and appreciated and use this means of expressing their tlmuks. A current run Into the pump house on the electric bell wire , disporting itself through the building In a playful , inoQensive way , oc casioning little damage , more than the demol ishing of a few window lights aud the sliver ing of some of the wood work. The air chamber to tho small engine and pump at the water works broke during the lire ; but in a few minutes the larger engine was connected and pumping. The electric bell was melted and the battery destroyed , be sides two of the poles were destroyed. The State Republican League. T. E. McCracken , C. T. Brewer and II. W. Cole , delegates from the Itepublican club of this city , went down to Lincoln , Wednesday night , to participate in the ratification , Thurs day night , of the republican national nomi nees , by the Nebraska Republican League. The boys returned home , this morning , aud report a famous time anil unbounded en thusiasm. APPOINTMENT REVOKED. Sheriff W. 0. Ilussell went down to Indian- ola , Monday , and formally revoked the ap pointment of Deputy Sheriff Will McCool , placing Lee Starbuck of this city in the of fice made thus vacant. Sheriff Itussell gives as his reasons for talking the action that the late deputy disregarded and disobeyed orders and that he was using his official position to work up a nice , large political boom to spring at the accented time. LARGER WATER MAINS. The iron pipes for the new twelve inch supply main are here and being delivered on the ground preparatory to being planted at once. These pipes are twelve inches in di ameter and will increase the supplying ca pacity of the water works three fold. The present supply pipe will be laid up Main Av enue to replace the 4-inch one now in use there. This will be withal an important and costly improvement to the water works. Others are in view. COUNTY TEACHERS' INSTITUTE. On next Monday morning the regular ses sions of lied Willow county teachers' insti tute will be opened in the high school in this city. Arrangements have been perfected to make this the most interesting and profitable meeting ever held in this county. It is ex pected that the teachers of the county will be in attendance in large lumbers , that the most may he made of the benefits tj be surely de rived from the instruction to be imparted. Prof. Valentine will be one of the prominent instructois. A number of lectures will be de livered during the session. Entertainment at reasonable rates has been provided. Every teacher should be present. The institute will do you good. DON'T DO IT AGAIN. We have it on authority that quite a num ber of lawn sprinklers were r.uxxixc. dui- ixg the Fine , Monday evening , notwith standing that the rain was descending m per feet torrents at the same time. The effect was that the pressure in the fire mains was i greatly reduced , although the engine was run ning at the rate of GOO strokes a minute , and the efficiency of the department , which was j working under unusual disadvantages , pro- I portionately weakened. Such a thing ought j never to occur again. We simply suggest j this , feeling that the good sense of our citi zens will teach them compliance. In case of fire the department needs every pound of pressure available and it ought not to lack through carelessness.
