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

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

The board of directors of the McCook

monthly session in the city hall, Monday
evening, transacting the routine business

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

manner. There was dancing, card play
ing and various other means of amuse
ment afforded, so that all were joyous

Stephens-Boatman.
—
Married March 17th, 1893, at 8 o’clock

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.

is about again, however, but still carry

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

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

Yesterday C. F. Babcock closed the

valuable farms in Red Willow county.
Sewerage is one of the enterprises which

will necessarily effect the health of the
city. _
