Contractor Kilpatrick has come down
from the Burlington’s road to Montana,
and Messrs. Holdrege, Cady, Dietz and
other Omaha men who have just been
on the new line are enthusiastic over
the prospect that the new road from
this city will cross the Montana line soon
and reach Billings and a connection with
the Northern Pacific before the date set,
which was October 15th. It is likely
that trains with the Burlington trade
mark will be tooting whistles in Billings
by October 1st at the latest.—Alliance

Some new cars on one of the eastern
railroads that have been constructed
without the accustomed mirror at each
end call out an indignant protest from
the Phildelphia Press. That paper in
sists that although they may be neither
beautiful nor artistic they serve a useful
purpose. It is iniflcting an unwarranted
hardship upon the women passengers
to. deprive them of an opportunity to see
that their hair is properly curled and
that their hats are setting correctly as
they get up to leave the car. The wom
en should institute a boycott to have
the mirrors replaced in their usual
positions.
It is still, as is has ever been, the aim
of the Nebraska state board of agricul
ture, through its board of managers, to
make each succeeding annual state fair
and exposition excel in all respects any
of its predecessors. For the year 1894
unusual efforts for extraordinary results
to this end are being made. The state
fair, manufacturers’ and consumers’
association for Nebraska and the state
horticultural society combine and will
hold their annual exhibits on the same
grounds and on the same days. By this
plan there will be presented, in the
shape of a grand consolidated exposi
tion, a complete aggregation of Nebras
ka’s products and resources such as can
not fail to command the attention and
admiration of our own people as well as
those from abroad. We are sure it will
be a pleasure to every friend of the state
to aid in this meritorious undertaking.
The impress made by the world’s fair in
1893 on the fair making and fair going
people of the United States is such as to
insure higher grades and in all respects
superior character of expositions. It
will be well to keep in mind the place
and dates of this Nebraska exposition—
Lincoln, September 7th to 14th, 1894.
Shall we celebrate? If not, why not?

Want a Rainmaker.
Pursuant to a call issued, last Saturday,
there was quite a large gathering of
fanners and others at the city hall, Mon
day afternoon, to confer in regard to the
advisability of attempting to secure a
rainmaker at this place, and to devise
ways and means by which the
drouth now prevailing may be broken.
The meeting was called to order by
H. H. Berry, and S. P. Hart was chosen
chairman, C. H. Boyle, secretary. After
an informal discussion of the conditions
that exist and of the methods to be per
sued a committee of six, consisting of
W. A. Stewart, V. Franklin, H. H. Ben
son, Joseph Menard, S. P. Hart and
P. A. Wells was appointed for the pur
pose of conferring with the rainmakers
now experimenting at Beatrice and oth
er points, to ascertain on what terms an
attempt may be secured to be made at
this place, and generally to learn all
that they may be able bearing on the
matter in point. Said committee to
report at a meeting to be held in the
city hall on coming Saturday afternoon
at 2 o’clock.
Considerable interest was manifested
in the matter, showing a deep concern
to be existing among our farmers and
business men in view of the continued
drouth. There are the faithless and the
believing. But there are a good many
in favor of attempting to do something.
Willow Grove Addition
Is the only part of McCook in which
you can be independent and control
your own water. If you find a nuisance
like Meeker prowling about the back
yard you can “abate” him by turning
hot or cold water on him, and he can’t
hide behind Cap. Phillips or the city
ordinance.
You have to pay about the same for
water from the Lincoln Land Company
in McCook that you do for rent of your
house. In Willow Grove Addition you
can dig a well, put up a windmill and
tank for about what it costs you to pay
water tax in other parts of McCook for
one year.
C. F. Babcock will sell you lots at
from $50 to $200 in this addition that
.are just as good, nearer the high school
and as near the business center of Mc
Cook as lots for which the Lincoln Land
Company will charge you from $200 to
$500. _
The Pride of McCook.
the McCook Tribune—first and
foremost in Republican valley journal
ism—has rounded out an even dozen
years of prosperity, eleven of which have
been under the able management of
F. M. Kimmell. Uniformly on the right
side of questions local or general, bright,
clean, newsy, and not given to“ slopping
over,” it is no wonder that The Tri
bune is the pride of McCook.—Beaver
City Tribune.
The Band Concert.
The concert given, last Saturday even
ing, by the Nebraska Brigade Band,
K. P. U. R., was perhaps the finest ever
rendered by the band, and attracted a
large and delighted gathering of our cit
izens. The music was oi the highest
order and the rendition artistic. Mc
Cook has one of the finest band organi
zations in Nebraska, and the fact is a
matter of pleasurable pride to all our
people.
The Master Wasn’t In.
One of our leading business men and
citizens made an amusing, though meas
urably excusable error, Saturday morn
ing, of calling at^the Times-Democrat
office and blandly inquiring if Mr.
Meeker was in. Upon being assured
that was not Mr. Meeker’s office, the
gentleman retired, after stating that he
thought Mr. Meeker was running that
paper, judging from the issue of last
week. But the tool was.
An Unusual Cloud Effect.
Quite a remarkable and unusual cloud
effect was visible about noon, Saturday,
from this place, in the southeastern sky.
It looked like the reflection from a rain
bow—although that charming phenome
non was not visible. The brilliant col
ors falling upon the fleecy, broken clouds
high up in the blue vault produced a
beautiful picture, which, however soon
disappeared from view.

Ole Olson Drowned.
Tuesday afternoon, while in bathing
in company with a party of men, a
young man named Ole Olson, whose
parents live on the Blackwood north of
Culbertson, was drowned in the big lake
on the Meeker irrigation ditch west of
the narrows.
We understand that the water is quite
deep where the sad tragedy occurred.
That there is something in the nature
of a small whirlpool caused by the water
entering the lake with considerable cur
rent. Into this the young man was
drawn, and being a poor swimmer, and
i the members of the party being afraid
to venture in to his assistance, he sank
from sight after a brief struggle.
The persons with the young man were
evidently badly rattled, as we are in
formed that there is a boat on the lake
with which aid might have been ren
dered, had those with him been cool
headed and quick.
Word reached this city about supper
time, and William Little, who is in the
employ of the ditch company, started at
once for the scene of the drowning. He
recovered the body about ten o’clock
the same night, and the remains were
taken to a farm house in the neighbor
hood.
The young man was about twenty
years of age.
Tha remains were subsequently taken
in charge by the relatives and buried,
Thursday, in Culbertson.
