□"PRICE'S I Used in Millions of Homes—40 Years the Standard. There is no mistaking it—this is gen uine March weather. There is a prospect ahead for cheaper coal oil and gasoline, this season. At the Harris Hardware you can get a Sewing Machine a good one from $20 to $45 with the company’s guarantee for five years._ The A. O. U. W. band and orchestra announce a dance in the opera house on Monday evening, April 3d. Kapke will occupy the old Ganschow stand upon Mr. Ganschow’s removal to his spacious and elegant new quarters in the Union block. When a woman tires of a man she has once truly loved, there is reason to be lieve he has outraged her affection and and wound her inmost self esteem. J. W. Hill has purchased the Farmer’s lunch room and confectionary store of G. L. Turner and has taken possession of the same. Mr. Turner will remove to McCook.—Arapahoe Pioneer. In cleansing jewels it is well to remem ber that cut stones should never be wiped after being washed. To cleanse them use a soft brush soaked in soap suds, rinse and place in sawdust until dry. The doctors announce a decrease in the amount of sickness in the city. One crop that never fails in any coun try is the crop of dead beats and chumps. J. Albert Wells postponed his opening from Wednesday till today, on account of inclement weather. Bert Smith arrived home, yesterday morning, from a visit to Denver, where he has some property interests. Nelon Cleavland will start another tank line in our city, next week, with H. Thompson in charge of the wagon. It is stated by the Indianola papers that the fall meeting of the agricultural society will be held upon the old grounds. The county commissioners at their session, this week, awarded the county printing to the McCook Independent Enterprise._ A recent visit to Bartley revealed the fact that that little burg is prospering and building up, and is enjoying a rapidly increasing trade. Call and inspect Kalstedt’s immense stock of new goods. The finest selection ever exhibited in the city. Don’t wait until the line is broken. Ladies wishing the Prepared Tapestry Paints can secure them from Mrs. Matie Chenery either in small quantities or in bulk. Address lock box 383, McCook. There are thousands of dollars being hoarded away in Nebraska to be spent at the World’s Fair during the summer and there will be unequalled opportuni ties there to spend it. The genial knights of the grip who make their headquarters here were pres ent at the city caucus on last Friday evening in force. They are staunch sup porters of Mayor Brewer to a man? Ganschow, the old reliable, is fixing up his new quarters in the Union block handsomely and with an eye to conven ience in every respect. He will have a store not excelled in the valley for sub stantial appointments. It is claimed for the yard of 400 cattle now being fed near the city by Fowler Wilcox that it is the finest bunch of cattle ever fed within the borders of Red Wil low county. And The Tribune fancies that the claim is incontestible. Messrs. C. L. DeGroff & Co. of the Cash Bargain House will not have a formal opening, but they just as cor dially invite all to call and inspect their immense stock of new goods, the finest they have ever opened in McCook. In order that the city election may not be too unanimous another ticket has been placed in the field by petition, and all citizens may now exercise a choice in saying whom shall be their public serv ants for the ensuing municipal j-ear. Misses Furbush & Reynolds announce their opining for next Wednesday, March 29th. The ladies have a tasty and fash ionable display of the latest and season able millinery in stock, anil cordially invite the ladies of McCook and vicinity to call and inspect the same. A New York business man says: “The keystone of the success of the business man is in making other men work for him. That is the greatest quality. It is no mean accomplishment to get men who will earn their salary." The St. Patrick’s night banquet, spread in the opera hall, last Friday evening, by the Ladies’ Sodality of St. Patrick’s church was most gratifyingly successful, from both culinary and financial stand points, in addition to being a fruitful source of social gayety. There is only one way to do business, and no matter what business that may be, there is a straight way to conduct it. Underhand work may make an outside appearance that will stand for a time but when it comes to a show down it pays to be on the right side and to act honor ably. ._ If you can’t arrange to go to the World’s Fair just remember that Red Willow county is going to have a fair this year and that with a little encouragement on the part of the people the officers in tend making it the largest, best and most successful fair in the history of the county. __ Charlie Leach is not quite certain whether he collided with a mogul loco motive or was run through a threshing machine. The bumps, bruises, sprains, cuts, etc. which decorate and pain him would indicate either or both. At any rate Charlie feels truly grateful that he escaped with his life, if his body is somewhat unrecognizable. So are his many friends. Greater respect should be paid to what ever quarantine regulations the city authorities establish in cases of contagi ous diseases. Quarantine is the most effective means of restricting and re straining the spread of such ills, and should not be violated under any circum stances. _ The board of directors of the McCook building association were in regular monthly session in the city hall, Monday evening, transacting the routine business of the association. A portion ($800) of the surplus of the association was sold at a small premium. They still have a neat sum left, and applications may be left with George W. Kaime, secretary, at the Barnett lumber yatd. The affairs of the association are in good shape, and the season now upon us promises to be a profitable one. The newspaper is essentially a com mercial enterprise—the preparation and putting upon the maket of something to sell. It is of the same nature as an or dinary merchant’s. The rule in every well regulated shop is that the clerks shall not discuss religion, politics or any disputed topic with the customers. Where the editorial department of a newspaper enters into the enterprise the commodity offered for sale is opin ions, and a constituency is therefore pre sumed to be of the market which is will ing to pay for seeing the opinions in print. But the fact is that no paper limits its solicitation of trade to any spe cial constituency. It solicits advertise ments from all classes, it prints news ior all classes, and in various other ways ap peals to all classes. Editorials which please only one class and displease many others are a drawback to the paper, with | ont being any advantage to the reader. OUTING SHOES. It long ago seemed as though shoes could never be better and never be cheaper, but they are better now and cheaper now than they ever were before. The great every day favorite is our men’s and ladies’ shoe. It is as much a boon to the pocketbook as it is to the feet. It won’t wear you out to wear it out. You don’t need to take care of it; it takes care of itself. It will give you solid com fort for the simple reason that a better shoe for knockabout pur poses has never been produced. If prices never appealed to you before, the price of this shoe will, for it costs only §2.50. It will look nicer and wear longer than any shoe on earth. A Charming Affair. Miss Della Johnston and Miss Selma Noren entertained a large company of friends at the Commercial House, on Wednesday evening. The Tribune is advised that it was one of the “swellest affairs” ever given in McCook, and that Misses Della and Selma took care of their guests in a most charming and clever manner. There was dancing, card play ing and various other means of amuse ment afforded, so that all were joyous and happy. The refreshments served were a marvelous collation of good taste and expert cookery. The guests were: Miss Rache Berry, Mr.WilliamValentine, Misses May Seamon, Mamie Chapin, Johannah Engel, Maud Cordeal, May Stuby, Hattie Yarger, Bertha Boyle, Wenona Peterson, Pearl Brewer, Stella Norval, Ona Simons, Grace and Gertie Bomgardner, Amie Strasser, Edna Dixon, Norma Noble, Minnie Whittaker, Maud McMillen, Laura McMillen, Mar garet Etter, Lizzie Ritchie, Florence Thompson, Hannah Stangeland and Anna Babcock of Cambridge; Messrs. J. H. Fowler, Orla LeHew, George Le Hew, Ross Stroud, Glenn Carruth, Charles Heber, Charles McConnell, Charles McManigal, Arthur Wood, Arthur Douglass, Roy Dixon, Abner Clark, William Walters, Clarence Whit taker, Elmer Kay, William O’Neil, George Heffelfinger, James O’Neil, Fred Brewer, Willie Brown and Don Thomas. Stephens-Boatman. — Married March 17th, 1893, at 8 o’clock in the evening, Mr. Linton H. Stephens and Miss Nancy A. Boatman, both of Driftwood precinct. Mr. Stephens is an enterprising young farmer and the bride is one of Driftwood’s most estimable young ladies. The happy couple have the best wishes of a large circle of friends. Owing to the illness of the bride’s mother the ceremony took place at the residence of the officiating justice, E. F. Duffey. Moody Starbuck was' the unfortunate victim of quite a severe accident, last Friday afternoon. While driving one of his black ponies in a cart, the broncho became stubborn and ugly, using its ac tive heels effectively, landing its hoofs on Moody’s hands, arms, legs and body with severe and painful results, throwing him from the cart. Bones were broken in both hands and the doctor found it necessary to place them in splints. While the hurts on his arms and legs are pain ful they will quickly heal. The hands will require more time, although pro gressing satisfactorily. C. J. Ryan reports the following sales, this week: The Larry McEntee brick dwelling on McFarland street to J. H. Henricks for $1,400. George Rector res idence on north McFarland street to the same for $1,350. Mr. Rector will shortly move to his farm just west of the city. The George Kaime lots 3 and 4, block 6, original town, to A. L. Knowland and Harry Barbazet. Both these gentlemen will build at once. Also the southeast quarter of 29-1-29. Charlie Leach was severely hurt, Sun day afternoon, by the breaking of his bicycle, while racing at full speed. He was thrown violently to the ground, striking on his forehead, and remained in an unconscious state for a number of hours. We are pleased to note that he is about again, however, but still carry ing a painful reminder of his mishap in a badly bruised head. A loose tire did the mischief. Pocket Map of Iowa-Nebraska—two states in one cover—handsomer, handier, better than any 50 cent maps yet made; 7 colors; in strong cover; all counties, rivers, railroads, postoffices. Correct to date. Also maps of all states in same style. We mail agents any samples wanted on receipt of eight 2-cent stamps; address the Mathews-Northrup Co., Buff alo, N. Y. _ The prairie fires all around us would indicate a surprising indifference and carelessness existing among many. These fires are unmitigated evils, source of dan ger and loss, and that so little concern is exhibited under these known circum stances is certainly remarkable. The Tribune calls for greater care in this respect. The Washington Post, which is right on the ground and well qualified to give good advice, declares: “When gentlemen push and scramble at the pie counter they simply demoralize the service and delay the game. It’s all right to be hungry, but don’t be offensively hungry ’ ’ Yesterday C. F. Babcock closed the sale of the McFaul and Amsler quarters on the Southside to H. M. Meyer. This half section adjoins Mr. Meyer’s large farm. $20 an acre was the price paid. This gives Mr. Meyer one of the most valuable farms in Red Willow county. Sewerage is one of the enterprises which should receive attention at the hands of the people of this city, this season if pos sible. It is growing to be a more or less serious question; and if delayed too long will necessarily effect the health of the city. _ Assistant Secretary Chandler of the in terior department has dismissed the ap peal in the timber culture case of Henry C. Cassidy againt William Gleason from McCook. Work was commenced this week on J. T. Bullard's new residence. This will be one of the largest and best residence buildings in the city.—Palisade Times.
