Those people who dance and the
number seems to grow with great rapid
ity each year are wondering what will
be the "new" dance this season. As
yet it has not made its appearance ; but
then the season is young , and there is
plenty of time before Lent puts au end
to the gay dance. Last season brought
out the "Caprice , " a dance which has
won great popularity. Yet it hasn't
the enduring qualities of the waltz and
the polka , which are universally recog
nized as "old reliables" in any system
of fashionable dancing , and it is likely
that after this year the "Caprice" will
take its place on the shelf with the
" and the "Yorke"which
"Heel and Toe" ,
is gradually disappearing from the danc
ing floor. Still the necessity and the
desire for novelty are as strong in danc
ing as in other forms of amusement ,
and possibly before the Lenten days
are here a new dance may enter upon a
career.

Notwithstanding other and powerful
attractions of that evening , the "C" soc

good things by the ladies.
The latest dictum of society is that
wedding invitations must be written ,
and in the hand writing of the pros
pective bride. No plates , electrotypes ,
or any other fac-simile schemes are con
sidered proper. She must just set down
and do the work herself , and if she can
not write , she ought not to marry.

A few parishioners and friends of

A gentleman from Grand Island is
n communication with business men of
our city concerning the long-talked-of
sugar factory. He has been telegraph
ed to come on to McCook and make his
) reposition to our people. In the mean
time our farmers and business men
should give the mattei some hard and
) ractical thought , so that they may be
able to consider whatever may be pre
sented , in an intelligent manner. It is
unnecessary for us to enlarge upon the
advantages to be derived from the loca
tion of sugar factory at this place. It
seems now only to be a question of ex-
) ense and whether or not the game is
worth the powder. Think it over.
Foster , the weather cock , muses in
this wise : "My predictions of pleasant
weather after the November northwest
ern snow storm and blizzard , and with
the exception of the two sharp storms
with accompanying cold waves and the
; wo or three lighter disturbances , I ex-
ieet a very pleasant December , follow
ed by a winter of very much less sever-
ty than the average. I have been mak-
ng calculations of next year's crop
weather and find that the rain fall will
reach more elevated regions and there-
'ore countries like Texas , near the sea
evel * will have much less rain , while
elevated countries like the Dakotas will
lave an increase of rainfall. This will
> e favorable to western Kansas and
Nebraska , northwestern Texas , south-
rn Colorado and a more even distribu-
ion in the Atlantic states. It should
ie remembered that the high and low
larometers of the storm move eastward
and near each other , the former gather-
ng up the moisture from great bodies
of water and it is the depth of the tide
n the atmosphere that causes the mois-
ure to condense into rain near the sea
evel or enables it to float inland to
ligher elevations. As Jupiter nears
he son and earth , at its perihelion
; he atmosphere deepens and the rains
move inland. As these tides reach
heir extremities of low and high , west-
rn Kansas and Nebraska and similar
ands midway between the high and low
ands have theirdry years. "

The marriage of Mr. J. ti. Bayston

GENTLEMEN : Your attention is di
rected to the joint resolution of Con
gress , approved September 30th , 1890 ,
(26 ( Stat. 648) ) which reads as follows :
Joint resolution to extend the time
of payment to settlers on the public
lands in certain cases.
RESOLVED BY THE SENATE AND
HOUSE OP REPRESENTATIVES OP THE
UNITED STATES OP AMERICA IN CON
GRESS ASSEMBLED , That whenever it
shall appear by the filing of such evi
dence in the office of any Register and
Receiver as shall be prescribed by the
Secretary of the Interior that any set-
tier on the public lands , by reason of a
failure of crops for which he is in
no wise responsible , is unable to
make the payment on his homestead or
pre-emption claim required by law , the
Commissioner of the General Land Of
fice is hereby authorized to extend the
time of such payment for not exceeding
one year from the date when the same
becomes due. W. M. STONE ,
Acting Commissioner.
CONTINUED SUCCESS.
A. J. Thompson assumed control of
the McCook Roller Mill , January 1st.
He takes pleasure in announcing that
the servies of Mr. Tim Pahl have been

McCook Roller Mill will continue to

which have become so universally pop
ular during the past year.
He will be prepared to promptly fill
all orders for Flour and Feed at the
lowest possible prices , and thus hopes
to merit and receive a continuance of
past patronage , assurring fair treat
ment to old customers , and soliciting a
trial from many new ones during the
coming year.

Ths friends of the school book trust
"view with alarm" the prospect of state
publication in Nebraska. This is the
most natural thing in the world. The
money sharks have the same feeling
about usury laws , the railroads about a
maximum rate , and the professional pa
triots about the reduction of legislative
expenses. The plain people do not
share tne alarm , however. They are
somewhat pleased at the prospect of
having an inning to themselves for a
change.

Everything Conspires to Make
Notable the I. O. O. F. Ball
and Banquet.
The ball and banquet of McCook
Lodge I. 0. 0. F. last night , deserves
to be recorded on the bright pages oi
the city's social history , high up among
the most notable and most felicitous
events of that character. The attend
ance was very large , embracing many
of our best people. It was a very
"dressy" affair many handsome crea
tions being specially made for the au
spicious occasion. The hall decora
tions , too , were unusually elaborate ,
tasteful and appropriate , adding meas
urably to the happy effect. The music
was altitudinous away up the neigh
borhood of mazy G ; Reizenstein was in
his glory and with his enlarged orches
tra inspired all to the most heroic ef
forts at tripping the light fantastic.
In fact , the affair was altogether so de
lightsome and attractive that the king
of day was about to commence his tri
umphal march across the blue cauoply
before the dancers seemed willing to
wend their weary way homeward. It is
THE TRIBUNE'S distinct pleasure to
congratulate McCook Lodge 137 upon
the successful and complimentary out
come of the occasion.
