Though the reputation of men of :
genuine character may be of slow
growth , their true qualities cannot be
wholly concealed. They may be mis-
represented by some , and misunderstood
by others ; misfortune and adversity may ,
for a time , overtake them ; but with pa
tience and endurance , they will event
ually inspire the respect and command
the confidence which they really deserve. ,
In the retirement of 3Iessrs. Ballard
& Eaton from the Akron Star the press
of Weld county loses two of its ablest
newspapermen. The boysthough dem- <
ocrats , had the misfortune to fall under i
the bane of Register 3Iott' disapproba- i
tion and displeasure and their prosper- '
ous business was destroyed absolutely ;
and beyond repair and they were vir- ]
tually compelled to retire from business. '
And the interests of oppressionboycott ,
and injustice were subserved.
We do not care what anyone's views -
about temperance or total abstinence '
may be ; every man who values either !
law or order , or rational conviviality
must hate whisky , or must desire , if
he cannot banish it from the land al- ,
together , to see it made hard to procure. '
There is no greater delusion than to
suppose that a glass of whisky can be j
considered the "social " that
gla s , or ]
real conviviality that is , the free in- <
terchange of ideas , or jokes , or songs ,
or quips , or cranks of any description ,
is promoted thereby. It rapidly pro
duces either stupor or extreme irrita- :
bility , and is , indeed , especially adapted ;
to the needs of the solitary drinker. It
never tastes so well as in the private
jug of the lonely toper. It is a liquor
which only is drunk in ninety-nine eases
out of a hundred by men who wish from
the bottom of their hearts they could
give it up , and find that it fills their
blood not only with the "tawny dusks
of perfect days , " but awful forebodings
of domestic and professional ruin.

, The gentlemanly weather clerk seems to
be attending strictly to his own knitting
these ] days and he is succeeding in a gratify
ing ' manner in ingratiating himself into the

cality ' enjoyed refreshing visitations of that
character ' Tuesday and Thursday , the receipt
of which is hereby thankfully acknowledged ,
In view ofthe fact that the company is
ordering the removal of coal sheds on the side
track west of the depot , it is thought that
work will be commenced on a new freight
depot , this fall. Such a building is and has J
been needed for some time , and we hope the
supposition may prove true. The proposed
building will make a number of changes in
the arrangement of offices in the present de
pot , giving more room and convenience to
all.
Chairman Meiklejoim of the republican
state central committee lias sent to the chair- ,
men ' of various republican county commit- -
tees ' a circular calling particular attention to .
the \ resolution passed by the state convention
that the question of submission be voted on
j
at the republican primaries , and urging a j
careful observance of the resolution. By
this vote the republicans of the state will
have the opportunity to express tbeir opin- j
ion on this question and the opportunity
should be improved.
Among the new announcements in this is
.
sue of The Tribune will be found that of i
Capt. , J. A. Wilcox of this city , as a candidate i
for nomination to the office of representative , i
subject , to be sure , to will of republican
county convention. The Captain needs no 1
introduction to the voters of Red Willow 1
county , wherein lie is well and favorably :
known for his sterling integrity. If the rei i
publicans of this county shall see proper to 1
place him in nomination for the office , its dui i
ties will be discharged honestly and to the '
best ot his ability. i
The announcement of George fl. Grubb ,
Esq. , of Indianola , as a candidate for nomina
tion to the important office of representative ,
'
subject to decision of republican county con-
vention , appears in this issue , in the proper
place. Mr. Grubb is a rising young lawyer ,
of recognized ability and promise. As a .
speaker and debater he has few equals in this (
section of state. Shall the republicans of .
Red Willow county , in convention assembled , J
'
and in their best judgment , place Mr. Grubb .
In nomination , the office will be filled with ,
dignity and ability.
The many lriends of Col. Thos. E. Mc-
Cracken of this city are energetically work-
ins to advance his prospects of securing the i
republican nomination for the office of repre
sentative. The Colonel is a republican of
purest raj' without guile and a citizen of
unquestioned integrity and ability. He is by
observation , experience and nature well
qualified and equipped for the office , which
iie will fill with marked ability , if the repub
licans of this county , in their wisdom , see fit
to place him in nomination for tiiat import
ant trust. Mr. McCracken is worthy of every
confidence and will make a strong race for
Willow Grove's delegation at to-morrow's
primary.
That "Dynamite Bomb. "
"iv r.ooici i.iki : pownnit ; it smii.ls : i.iki :
i'owdcu ; it tastes i.ikc powder ;
J. hms ! "
Last Sunday the shining hours were im
proved in demonstrating the true "inward-
ncs" of the Stratton "dynamite bomb. " The
participants were : Train Master Harman ,
Master Mechanic Archibald , Roadmaster
Rodgern , Roadmaster Baukson and Chief Ir
win of the carpenter force. The deadly en
gine was carefully removed to the river bot
tom , south of town. All being in readiness ,
a match was set to the fuse and the experi
menters jointly and severally strained every
nerve to lend enchantment to the scene. And
such humping , wiggling , going-as-you-pleasc
perhaps the Republican valley has never seen
since the last herd of buifalos stampeded
across its peaceful bosom. Having placed a
safe distance between them and the bomb ,
all breathless and a tremble witli excitement
and expectancy , they awaited the mighty ex
plosion witli bated breath. But they waited
in vain. Thinking the fuse at fault , the same
was readjusted and fired again , which was as
before followed by an excitiugand laughable
stampede for a more salubrious locality.
Again the silence of tiie grave prevailed , un
broken save by the gentle rippling of theliin-
pid waters of the placid Republican. Hitch
ing up their pantaloons another hole , and
screwing their courage up a notch or two , the
valiant crcwd proceeded to investigate the
gas pipe more closely now , the probability of
a large , healthy cod dawning upon them.
The dangerous instrument was found to coni
tain an excellent , but entirely harmless arti
cle extensively used in fertilizing. After
administering an awful oath of eternal si-
lence , the party somewhat crestfallen and de-
djecte returned to the city , and Andy Bank-
son lias not been in an approachable condi
tion of mind ever since.
The Building and Loan Association.
The regular monthly meeting of the Mc-
Cook Co-operative Building and Loan Asso-

A Delicate Operation. (
On Monday afternoon , Drs. Kay and Davis
performed a delicate operation upon a six1
months girl baby of Eli C. Popejoy , who re- {
sides a short distance northwest of the city. '
It appears that the infant is suffering with a
tumor located the and
over eye extending c
back into the cavity of eye and perhaps reach- ]
ing into the brain ; and it was deemed neces
sary , to ligature the common carotid artery in '
order , to shut off nutrition from the tumor.
The < operation , which was performed for
what is technically styled aneurism of the or
bit , was handled skillfully and successfully , >
and ; is perhaps without a parallel in the his- *
in Nebraska. The J
tory ot surgery result will
be noted with considerable interest. '
Seriously Perhaps Fatally Injured.
The many friends , in this city , of Will H. j
Smith | , better known as "Bakly" Smith , a i
former B. & . M. engineer on the Cheyenne
division ( , will learn witli sincere regret and
profound sorrow of his serious and perhaps ,
fatal : injury , last Satuiday , in the U. P. yards [
at j Cheyenne , Wyo.while engaged in switch
ing. ] A letter to a friend in this city states
that ' his head was badly squeezed and mash
ed ' between the platforms of two coaches , and {
that ' the physician despairs of his life. Smith f
fired for a number of years on this division , l
where he is well known and a general favorl l
ite. ' t
Sorrow and Sadness There.
The home of Martin Armentrout of South f
McCook is shrouded in gloom and sorrow by t
the 1 sad death of the wife and mother , Mrs. i
Isabella J. Armentrout , which occurred about i
nme o'clock , Sunday night. Funeral services
were held , Monday afternoon , at the Luther
an church , Rev. J. W. Kimmel officiating ,
Longview cemetery being the final resting
place of the loved one. The deceased leaves
an infant of but five days old , and a child two i
years of age. The bereaved husband has the c
profound sympathy of every kind and tender (
heart in community. ji j
Base Ball as She is Played. i
The game of ball , last Saturday , between t
" " and the "Parks"
the "McCooks" clubs , on
the "Famous" grounds , resulted in tiie disas
trous defeat of the boys from the country ,
who managed to secure but three scores to }
their credit while our boys were rolling ud f
thirty tallies , with comparative ease. Our 2
friends fiom Prospect Park can readily demi
onstrate their expertness at pumpkin husking , f
but there is room for question when their skill
as players of the national game is involved.
They traveled in too fast company , last Sat
urday , sure.
Fatally Injured. <
- i
Monday afternoon , a man named William
Northrup was run over by a wild engine , on
the Coon creek bridge near Indianola , and
fatally injured , deatli coming to his relief at
about 9 o ' clock the same evening. He was
partially paralyzed , and in attempting to (
cross the bridge in advance of the locomotive , 1
fell and was run overabove as stated. He was ]
buried at Indianola , Tuesday , at county 's ex- ]
pense. His companion escaped. No blame <
attaches to the enginemen. No inquest.
The Fire Hydrants are Here. ' '
The four additional fire hydrants ordered :
some weeks since are on the ground and will (
be planted as decided upon by the city council ,
in a few days. They are of a superior pattern
to those already in use , larger and more ;
durable , and will add not a little to our Are :
protection. (
