of Mrs. Jos. Lechleitner , Sunday , at the

ternity , she was carried away by a heart
trouble , it is stated , in the full bloom of
young womanhood , she was but 20 years
of age. The funeral occurred on Mon
day morning. The deceased had many
friends and acquaintances in McCook
who are profoundly shocked and pained
at her untimely and sudden demise , and
who sympathize with the bereaved young
husband in this hour when the clouds
are so dark and lowering.

THE REUNION ASSURED.
It is highly gratifying to THE TRIB
UNE to be able to announce tnat the
question of having a reunion in McCook ,
this fall , has been settled in favor of
the affirmative side of the proposition
by an almost unanimous vote. The
meeting at the city hall , last Friday
evening , practically so determined.
Supt. Campbell and Mayor Brewer were
constituted a soliciting committee and
their labors have been crowned with
success insomuch that over $1,000 in
cash have already been pledged to make
the reunion a conspicuous success. The
executive committee , Messrs. A. Camp
bell , C. T. Brewer , C. F. Babcock , J. S.
LeHew , J. H. Yarger , J. Albert Wells ,
J. A. Wilcox , H. H. Berry and Dell
Lafliu , held a meeting on Tuesday even
ing and canvassed the situation quite
thoroughly and have already set the
machinery in motion for a first-class
affair. The dates have not been defin
itely fixed , but September 14th to 19th ,
are the days under consideration and
will likely be adopted if nothing im
portant conflicts therewith. The exe
cutive committee is authorized to appoint
and all subcommittees
point any necessary -
tees and the work will doubtless pro
ceed harmonious and effectively and
rapidly. The committee unanimously
determined to hold the reunion on the
grounds occupied two years since , a de
cision which will be almost universally
commended as being the most accessi
ble , sightly and convenient possible.
Judge LeHew telegraphed from Lin
coln , Wednesday night , that he had in
terviewed Governor Majors and that he
had secured the promise that the state
guns and tents would be forwarded as
soon as the close of the state encamp
ment at Grand Island.
The executive committee met at the
office of H. H. Berry , last evening.
Organized by electing C. T. Brewer ,
President , H. H. Berry , Secretary , Dell
Laflin , Treasurer.

fairs it was decided to change the date

A NOBLEMAN'S PURCHASE.
On Wednesday morning Buffalo Jones
started east with a shipment of six head
of buffalo consigned to an English noble
man. This is the final consignment of
quite a bunch bought by this lord of the
"tight little island" some time since.
There were two large and four smaller
ones in the lot. Mr. Jones accompanied
the buffalo as far east as Chicago , where
he stopped to make arrangements for a
place to exhibit his herd during the
World's Fair. From the port of New
York they will proceed to Liverpool in
a Curnarder. The herd here will not
be diminished by this shipment , as it
will at once be reinforced by a similar
number from Salt Lake City , Utah.
Mr. Jones informs us that the buffalo
are doing remarkably well ; are fat and
sleek. There is no doubt but that they
will form one of the great attractions
in Chicago in 1892. Parties from
various sections of the country drive
out to see them every week , and their
fame is being carried throughout the
length and breadth of the land , and in
cidentally McCook , the Pearl of the Re
publican Valley , is also advertised.
By next spring the prospects are that
the largest herd of bison in America
will nearly reach the 100 mark.
A MERITORIOUS SERVICE.
The Congregational church was not
equal to the task of seating those who
attended the song service , last Sunday
evening , many were unable to gain ad
mission at all. And it may be said that
among the numerous company present
there was not one who left the church
without feeling that his brightest and
fondest anticipations had been fully
realized ; that the song seryice was
withal one of the most enjoyable , inter
esting and artistic ever given to a Mc
Cook audience The singing of the
Misses Geselbracht and Andersons of
Chicago was particularly artistic and
charming , eliciting many expressions of
praise and warm. . . .The male quartette
fairly divided the honors of the evening.
The selections by the choir were
excellent and were well rendered. . . .
The children's choir came in for their
usual proportion of appreciation. . . .In
their duet Mr. and Mrs. Jackson ac
quitted themselves very creditably. . . .
Mrs. J. C. Birdsell presided at the or-
2an ; with her accustomed grace and ef
fectiveness Rev. Stevenson is to be
congratulated upon the merit and suc
cess of his first song service. . . .The
floral decorations were exquisite. . . .
The remarks by Revs. Donaldson and
McBride were appropriate , well timed
and well received. The pastor's re
marks were full of fervor and enthu
siasm.
ORDINATION AND INSTALLATION.
On Wednesday , August 19th , Rev.
W. C. Stevenson will be duly ordained
into the ministry and installed as pastor
of the Congregational church of our
city with appropriate services. The or
dination will take place in the afternoon ;
the installation in the evening. There
will be special music for the occasion.
' 1 he members of the following churches
have been invited : Palisade , Trenton ,
Vail ton , Indianola , Cambridge , Hol-
drege , Red Cloud and Aurora. Pastors
expected : Revs. William Woolman ,
Jacob Flook , H. S. MacAyeal , J. J.
Klopp , J. D. Stewart , E. L. Ely. Also

of Lincoln , state supt. Congregational
board , and George E. Taylor , Indianola ,
supt. of the southwest. The occasion
will be a notable one for the Congregationalists -
tionalists of the upper valley.
Bf TOWNSHIP LINES.
In order to establish a permanency
and uniformity in the matter of pre
cincts , the county commissioners will at
their meeting on Wednesday next define
the various precincts by township lines ,
making each voting precinct in the
county just six miles square. Such ac
tion will doubtless settle for all time
precinct lines upon a perfectly equita
ble basis , and will meet with popular
approval , as realizing the maximum of
good results with theminimum of hard
ship.
