to place the business on a thoroughly
first-class basis throughout.
All smokers are interested in secur
ing a good , pure article of the weed
when they are looking for a cigar.
Purity and excellence are important and
count with all who are judges of quality
in tobacco. Beizenstein makes his own
cigars right herein McCook. He selects
none but the best tobaccos and his manu
factured product cannot be equalled in
the city. He carries a large stock of
cigars and tobacco , besides a well select
ed line of smokers' articles.
It may be unnecessary , but it affords
us pleasure and we will call special at
tention to the article in this issue enti
tled "ON THE FRONTIER. " While the
writer is not pretentious , the communi
cations have merit , both literary and
historical , which would entitle them tea
a place in a high grade magazine. In
fact such magazines have recently pub
lished less interesting letters on a simi
lar topic.
The action of the county commis
sioners in advertising for bids for furn
ishing board , care and clothing for coun
ty charges , is a move in the right direc
tion , and commendable as an economic
measure , looking forward to the estab
lishment and maintenance of a county
poor farm , where paupers may be kept
at the least expense to the county and
to the producer. Doubtless the hiring
of a physician by the year would prove
advantageous , too. The experience of
the past year , especially , teaches the
tax payer the necessity of a more eco
nomic way of providing for the support
and rendering professional aid to the
poor and sick and unfortunate. Un
doubtedly , too , much money has been
expended for the services rendered.
This may be rectified by the plan pro
posed ( and which has been suggested
at various times by the publisher , ) by
the commissioners , by keeping all coun
ty charges , at least those entirely sup-
) orted by the county , in one place , and
by hiring a physician by the year on a
salary which may be increased as the
commissioners see fit in case of epidem-
cs or special or unusual cases. This
> Ian has been in vogue for many years
n older counties and has been success-
'ul. Properly handled it will beneficial
o Ked Willow county. One of the
jest and earliest effects will be the re-
Luction of the number of mendicants
and loafers who have fastened themj j
elves on the charity of the people.
"A short time since the cow was sad ;
she scarce could lift her head , begud.
Her hoofs were sore , her tail was limp ;
her mane and bangs had losttheir crimp ,
and miles she trudged from grass to
drink , with scarcely strength enough to
wink. The owner , too , looked blue and
glum , and cursed the cattle business
some. But since the rains the grass is
tall the cow can raise her head and
bawl ; her hide is slick , no bones pro
trude , she prances like a city dude ; her
tail is sl'ck , her eyes are bright , she
snorts and dares the crowd to fight.
Her owner , too , digs up the chink , and
asks the boys to take a drink. God
bless the rain ; it makes a man feel
young again. He feels like tossing up
his hat and howling like a democrat. "
A variety of things are necessary to
make a newspaper successful , prosper
ous and useful. The publisher may
print the news , but his labors are in vain
unless the business men give him a lib
eral patronage. He may strive earnest
ly to upbuild the city and country , but
if the people seek rather to destroy his
influence than to strengthen bis willing
and unselfish hands , his work will fall
short of its best results. A horse will
do more service on full feed than it will
on short or poor rations. So the news
paperman can accomplish greater things
on a generous , hearty support than he
can on a niggardly take-it-out-in-trade
patronage actuated by charity.
On Monday morning , Father J. W.
Hickey of St. Patrick's church , through
the impressive ceremony of the Catho
lic church , united the lives and destin
ies of two of McCook's popular and es
timable young people , Mr. Felix Ken
nedy and Miss Mary Mullen. The wed
ding was a private one , only the rela
tives and a few friends being present.
Mr. Kennedy is a popular employe in
the Burlington shops. Miss Muljen
has been the accomplished head of J.
Albert Wells' dress making department
for some time. THE TRIBUNE express
es a very general and hearty feeling in
wishing them much of this world's hap
piness and prosperity.
The policy of the Burlington in en
couraging all efforts to induce immigra
tion is exemplified in a recent letter
from General Passenger and Ticket
Agent Francis to William Coleman of
fering transportation for him and ex
hibits from Red Willow county to the
Illinois and Iowa state fairs , this fall.
Our farmers should note Mr. Coleman's
call elsewhere for samples of corn , small
grain , etc. , to be preserved for him for
exhibition at Des Moines and Peoria.
Red Willow should also be represented
at Lincoln , this year.

SHALL WE ?
HAVE A REUNION THIS
FALL OR NOT ?
THE TRIBUNE learns that the matter
of having a soldiers' reunion in Mc
Cook , some time this fall , is being dis
cussed , and much interest is being
manifested. It is urged that the times
are peculiarly propitious for such an
event , particularly so in view of the
fact that there will be no harvest ex
cursions to this section this year , just
the time when we will be best able to
show the finest crops ever raised since
the settlement of Western Nebraska.
Perhaps there has not been a season in
years when the conditions were more
favorable. We hope the subject may
be carefully and thoroughly canvassed ,
and if the sentiment warrants such a
conclusion , that the work of getting up
a reunion even better than that of two
years ago may go ahead with enthu
siasm and vigor.
But , in looking over the project we
must not lose sight of the fact that a
first-class affair of the kind proposed
means the expenditure of money freely
and laborious effort beside. If we feel
like undertaking it , every shoulder must
go to the wheel. Let there be a full
and free discussion. If it is practica
ble and desirable , all well enough. If
thought not so , well just drop ic. But
chink it over.
It is proposed , too , to hold a horse
fair during the reunion , as an additional
attraction. And the number of fine
and speedy horses in McCook and this
part of Nebraska warrants the expecta
tion that this would be a strong feature ,
full of interest and drawing.
PURE DELIGHT.
There is something approaching pure
delight in drawing the ribbons over a
spanking , spirited team of horses pull
ing a handsome and comfortable vehicle ,
these pleasant , cool evenings or quiet
Sundays. If you want to indulge in
that sort of ecstacydrop into The Circle
Front Livery Barn and let them fit you
up with the necessary apparatus. They
have the handsomest turn-outs to be
found in the Valley. Their service is
prompt and their treatment courteous.
Terms as reasonable as first-class ac
commodations will warrant.
