Every man in this section is inter

and high prices as the farmers are.

It is a wise policy for any city to
make their public improvements in
years of crop scarcity. Not only can
the work be done more cheaply , but it
keeps money in circulation and serves
to bridge over hard times and keep up
the courage and bank account of the
average citizen until the dawning of a
more prosperous era.

COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT.
The board of education have caused
the following circular to bo issued re
garding the commercial department re
cently added to the public school course :
McCooK PUBLIC SCHOOLS COMMKK-
CIAL DEPARTMENT.
MoCooK , NEB. , Dec. 20th , 1890.
DEAR FRIEND : The board of edu
cation has arranged for the opening of
a commercial department at the west
ward school building on Monday , Jan.
ith , 1891. A fee will be charged to
meet the increased expense and it is
xpected that the institution will boen-
irely self-supporting. There will be a
day and night school , in both of which
he following branches will be taught
by Mr. C. M. Leper : book-keeping , pen-
manshipcommercial arithmetic , English
anguage , business forms and commer-
ial law. The fee for instruction in
any or all of these subjects will be $5
per month for the day school and $4
per month for the night school jinvariably
in advance , Hnort-nand ana typewriting
ing $5 per month in the day school and
$4 per month in the night school.
This school is established to meet
the needs of the number of young men
and women who are conscious of defici-
encyin their education and who desire
to obtain a knowledge which will en
able them to secure and hold better
positions among the world's workers.
Perhaps you , to whom this letter is
addressed , may wish for an opportunity
of this kind , or you may know of some
friend who would enter the school if he
believed it would be of service to his
future career.
By calling upon or writing to C. M.
Leper , principal commercial depart
ment McCook public school , you can
obtain any further information you re
quire. Respectfully yours ,
War. VALENTINE ,
Supt. City School.
How ii Pays.
Being weighed down with a feeling
that single-blessedness is not all it's
cracked up to be , Adclph Eeischeick
of Perry precinct sometime since decid
ed to invoke the assistance of the press
in securing a helpmeet. An advertise
ment was accordingly placed in a Chica
go matrimonial sheet , not long since ,
and now Adolph is up to his eyes in
the delights of bliss connubial , an an
swer to his adv. appearing on this scene
of action , from David CitySundaynoon ,
in the person of a comely maiden , who
was promptly made Mrs. Reischeick , in
due form.
The neighbors of the happy couple
celebrated the event , Monday night ,
with a charivari of such voluptuous
proportions that it is claimed that the
prospects of Tuesday's wolf hunt were
irretrievably blighted.
About As Much.
It has been noticed of late that the
publisher of the Bartley Long-Felt-
Want never appears in public without
having previously sprinkled his auburn
locks copiously with hayseeds. To the
outsider this demonstration might be
construed into something genuine. But
the fact that Bro. Carpenter is making
his best effort to secure a clerkship in
the coming legislature is the real mo
tive. THE TRIBUNE is constrained to
be of the opinion that Mr. Carpenter
has about as much real and honest in
terest in the welfare of the alliance as
a chicken eating sow has in a brood of
goslings.
Don't Be a Sucker.
Why give every tramp solicitor who
comes along with an advertising scheme
your good dollars ? In most cases it is
a dead loss , not only to yourself but to
your town. A few dollars spent in the
right kind of an advertisement in your
home newspaper will reach the people.
Such advertising as is done on hotel
registers , signs , folders , and other
schemes does not reach the people.
You haven't money to throw away ,
have you ? Most people haven't.
A Farmers' Club.
A meeting of farmers and business
men of Red Willow county is called to
meet in the city hall , McCook , on Sat
urday , December 20th , at 1 o'clock , for
the purpose of organizing a farmers'
club. All farmers and business men
in the county are invited to attend and
participate in forming the organization.
A Suggestive Time.
When Red Willow county pays Pop
Gun Smith and Stenographer Strout
$612.50 for blackguarding her best cit
izens the skies will roll together like a
scroll and there will be a time sugges
tive of the final conflagration.

he Grand Festival and Bazaar of St.Patrick's
Church Closed Last Saturday Night
In a Halo of Glory-Social
und Financial.
The Catholic people of McCook have
a series of splendid successes to their
redit , in conducting church fairs ; and
he one which came to such an auspi-
ious close , lust Saturday night , was
i'ter the usual kind , only more so , per-
laps.
laps.The
The attendance during the run of the
fair was large ; and with music and
dancing , and the generous and inviting
spread of the good things of life , the
social feature was not neglected.
Competition for the various prize *
was brisk , even exciting , and from this
source , together with the proceeds of
the different booths , of the supper ,
from dancing , etc. , the Gnancial results
were over one thousand dollars net.
The principal prizes were secured ap
follows : Miss Lillie Rowell the elq-
gant gold watch. J. H. Bennett the
gold headed cane. Patrick McKenna
the silver conductor's lantern.
It was withal perhaps the most suc
cessful fair ever held in the city , upon
which the Catholic people are to be
congratulated.
AN EXTENSION OF TIME.
The B. &M. to Ship Supplies Free to
"Western Nebraska Until Jan. 1st.
Dr. Martin of the state relief com
mittee has just returned from Omaha
and announces that the B. & M. R. R.
company has extended the time during
which free transportation will be given
supplies for destitute people in western
Nebraska to January 1st. Applications
for relief continue to pour in , but at
the same time a liberal amount of sup
plies are being received by the state
board. One hundred tons of coal were
shipped to Chase county , yesterday.
Rev. L. P. Ludden addressed a meeting
last night at Nebraska City in the in
terest of the movement and it is ex
pected that the good people of that

Amorous Crane.
The amorous young Mr. Crane , the
Omaha blood who spent a few weeks
in McCook this fall , was in imminent
danger of having his neck rung at Ox
ford recently , so the newspaper report
is. It is related that young Mr. Crane
was ambitious to set up a private harem
in Omaha , composed more or less ex
clusively of Republican valley girls.
But an irate papa of Arapahoe inter
cepted the gay Lothario boarding the
train at Oxford in company with his
daughter , and but for the incontinent
flight of Crane , the indignant pater
familias would have punctured him
after the similitude of a pepper box.
Beer Goes , John.
A big poster about town sets before
our citizens in glowing terms the ad
vantages of trading in McCook. The
offer contained in the aforesaid poster
tells us that any citizen of Cambridge
who comes to McCook on their excur
sion and purchases goods to the amount
of ten dollars will have his fare paid
both ways. It is not said whether beer
is included in the list of purchased
goods or not. Cambridge Kaleidoscope.
