The principle of reciprocity is worthy
he brain of the greatest American citi
zen Hon. James G. Blaine. There is
another great idea , however , of no small
mportance to McCook , it is the encour
agement of manufacturing establish
ments to locate in our midst and the
> rOper support of the same when they
lave cast their fortunes with us. It is
lighly business like and when carried
nto effect results in the wonderful up-
milding of a city. THE TRIBUNE wants
, o suggest in passing that it is about
he proper caper for the smoking pub
ic to remember that Reizenstein manu-
actures some of the best brands of
igars to be bought in McCook. Go
nd reciprocate. Joe will meet you
half way.
Rev. W. C. Stevenson has been se-
ured by the Congregational Home Mis-
ion Society to undertake their work at
VlcCook. Rev. Mr. Stevenson is a man
of some note , having been converted
under D. L. Moody in Dublin , Ireland ,
ome years ago. Mr. Moody was so
much pleased with him that he took
lim for an assistant on the trip through
Dngland and Scotland. After the great
evangelist returned to this country he
ent back for Mr. Stevenson and had
lim come to this country to again assist
n revival work. After this Mr. S. went
nto the Moody training school at North-
field , Mass. , and took a complete coarse
of study. Since then he has been in
evival work in the east. McCook is
ortunate to get such a man , and must
urely advance under his leadership ,
lespite the great damage done religious
work by the Rev. Joel Kelsey , late of
that place. Cambridge Kaleidoscope.

HARRIED.
Mr. I. T. Birdsall of McCook , Neb. ,
to Miss Marion E. Gale of our city.
Mr. Birdsall is a thrifty farmer. Miss
Gale is a niece of Mrs. Field and has
been making her home with her aunt
since last March. During her stay in
our city she has made many warm
friends. A nice company of friends
and near neighbors were present , to wit
ness the marriage. The ring ceremony
was used which is a beautiful and im
pressive service. After which , hearty
congratulations followed. Then came
ice cream and cake , which was enjoyed
by all. Some beautiful presents were
presented. The happy couple started
yesterday for their beautiful home near
McCook , Nebraska , where we wish them
much happiness and abundant success.

NEARLY 200,000 ACRES.
It is not generally known that there
are nearly 200,000 acres of land in the
McCook land district subject to entry
under the government land laws. Below
we give the figures by counties :
Frontier county , 2,680 county.
Red Willow county , none.
Hitchcock county , 6,000 acres.
Hayes county , 25,580 acres.
3hase county , 53,530 acres.
Dundy county , 110,960 acres.
TOTAL , 198,750 acres.
There are no unsurveyed lands in this
district. It will appear that Red Wil-
ow has no government lands subject to
entry , while Dundy county has more
than all the rest of the district , over
100,000 acres.

Not many months since Tom Ruggles
'elt an irresistible yearning for greener
tastures over the divide , and hied him-
elf away to Washington , King county.
Veil , like many others who have left
us he is ready to return. He wrote a
'riend here recently stating that he has
not found any state any better than
Nebraska , and that he would not advise
anyone to come to Washington. He
las been holding his farm at $1,500 ,
jut now writes that nothing short of
$2,000 will buy his Red Willow county

urprised to see Tom struggling back
o his old haunts almost any time now.

A PIONEER PALACE CAR.
( From H'l'ernorwl Nurrntlvo of iho Overlain
Trip In the Con tun- for July. )
Our wagons , or the "Reed wagon * , '
as they were called , wuru all madu t <
order and I can say without fear ol
contradiction that nothing like our
family wagon ever started across the
plains. It was what might be called a
two-story wagon or "Pioneer palace car"
attached to a regular immigrant train.
The entrance was on the side , like that
of an old-fashioned stage coach , and one
stepped into a small room , as it were ,
in the center of the wagon. At the
right and left were spring seats with
comfortable high backs , where one
could sit and ride with as much ease
as on the seats of a Concord coach.
In this little room was placed a tiny
sheet-iron stove , whose pipe , running
through the top of the wagon , was pre
vented by a circle of tin from setting
fire to the canvass cover. A board
about a foot wide extended over the
wheels on either side the full length of
the wagon , thus forming the foundation
for a large and roomy second story in
which we placed our beds. Under the
spring seats were compartments in
which were stored many articles useful
for the journey , such as a well-filled
work basket and full assortment of
medicines , with lint and bandages for
dressing wounds. Our clothing was
packed not in Saratoga trunks hut
in strong canvas bags plainly marked.
Some of mama's young friends added a
looking glass , hung directly opposite
the door , in order , as they said , that my
mother might not forget to keep her
good looks , and strange to say , when
we had to leave this wagon , standing
like a monument on the Salt Lakedesert ,
the glass was still unbroken. 1 have
often thought how pleased the Indians
must have been when they found this
mirror which gave them back the pic
ture of their own dusky faces.
THE TRIBUNE sincerely regrets that
the movement to secure a uniform
closing of business houses at 8 o'clock ,
central time , has been abandoned. The
petition circulated was signed by every
business man in the city but two. We
hope that these two gentlemen may
yet be able to see the desirableness of
early closing these hot evenings , and
that our business men may be able to
enjoy the comforts of home and family
in the evening , instead of loafing around
their business houses. Why should
business men and their clerks work
sixteen hours , anyhow , in any kind of
weather ? The early closing movement
ought to be successful. There is suf
ficient time to do all the business trans
acted in half the time now devoted to
trading and shopping. Cultivate the
acquaintance of your wife and children.
Take them out driving. Your social
nature will be improved and your busi
ness will not suffer.
NOTHING TOO RICH.
Gray & Maddux of The Circle Front

ciple that there is nothing too rich for

Their latest purchase of Sheriff Mc-

the deserved popularity of The Circle
