B j | A Few Estimates.
_ The records show the number of ucre ;
jL of laud in Red Willow county under cul
K f | tivation this year as being 215,829. Tlu
W M- total acreage is 460,800 ; which shows
m fj * tllat 4 * > ler cent of our laiui * s un er cul"
B M tivation. It is estiiuated that there are
W m 100,000 acres in small grain , aIl using
V Hi e conservative estimate of 20 bushel :
k "C to the acre as the average the county will
B % have about 2,000,000 bushels of small
B J * grain. Of this perhaps 80 per cent is
\Sf ' wheat , or in round figures 1,600,00c
jl $ $ bushels. At 60 cents a bushel this means
M V a revenue of $960,000. It is estimated
m J * that the acreage in corn is about 100,00a
_ \ acres. An average of 30 bushels per acre
P | is considered reasonable. This means
I W 3,000,000 bushels. At the present mar-
V Ji ket price this is in cash $450,000. This
/ \ corn put into cattle and hogs would bring
Wf . us $900,000. These figures do not em-
W y brace the ha } ' or potato crop. Besides
\ other small grain and minor produce of
I g the farm , together with that chief item
&L - . of stock will make the sum much larger.
f f Taking the population of the county to
* be 10,000 , the small grain and corn crops
B will 3ield an average of $200 for every
jP man , woman and child in the county.
I v * Is ow , as to the other side of the ledger :
m V The total bonded indebtedness of the
V county is $76SSo. The total releases of
V f farm mortgages for the past five years are
R % . $803,362 as against $747,316 filed. The
W \ city mortgage filings for the same period
r * . are $190,760 and the releases $198,605 ;
k and the chattel filings aggregate $910,019
Hi with $574,529 released. The record of
F these five years show a net decrease of
ft f farm and city mortgages of $63,891while
k \ the chattel filingsf exceed the releases by
$335i49 ° - But as the bulk of farui and
W \ citj' mortgages were made before 1S91 it
_ T is difficult to arrive at any definite figures.
L \ It has been stated that the sum of a mil-
m * lion and a half dollars will about cover
H > J the farm and city mortgage indebtedness
_ f of the county. But little of this has been
H J paid on accouut of crop failures , save b } '
W foreclosure. But it is doubtless safe teA
A J state that the crop of 1897when market-
p , J > ed and fed will bring enough to more
f than pay the entire indebtedness of the
K V people of the couuty if properly distrib-
p \ uted. What a splendid record !

gates and vote in the convention. The

tion , September 1st , were chosen : Thom
as Duncan , Joseph Harrison , Patrick
Gibbons , James McClung , C. J. Ryan.

Droll , J. W. Jones , William Doyle , A. L.
Haley. The following nominees were

ance of the action of the Democratic con

judgment in the selection of candidates ,
Be It Resolved , That we proceed no

a committee of three be appointed to
confer with a like committee to be ap
pointed by the Populists for the purpose
of agreeing on some terms or basis effusion
fusion , the Democrats to have at least

it } ' to fill out the ticket in case no terms

of office of chairman and secretary , who
are empowered to fill all vacancies in the
central committee.
The convention then adjourned.
Successful C. E. Social.
The Christian Endeavor social in the
Congregational church , Tuesday even
ing , was a gratifying success socially and
commercially , and attracted a goodly ,
enthusiastic audience. The programme
was well and warmly received. The
piano work of Miss Maud Cordeal's was
excellent. The pantomime of "Jesus
Lover of My Soul" by Miss Ethel Barnett -
nett to music by Miss Ellington Wilson
and colored lights from the lantern was
very pretty and enjoyable. "The Story
of Some Bells" was recited by Miss Ona
Simons with impressive effect , which
was heightened by a piano accompani
ment played by Miss Cordeal. Claude
Tubbs sang Rodney's "Calvary" so well
that the audience insisted upon a res
ponse. His second selection was bet
ter suited to his voice and more enjoy
able than the first number. The repe
tition of the "Scarf Fan tastics" was even
more enthusiastically received than it
was when first given. The effect was
graceful and charming indeed , aided by
the vari-colored lights from the lantern.
Refreshments , ice cream and cake ,
were served after the entertainment.
A True Chicken Story.
The following chicken story comes to
us from over on the Driftwood and is
vouched for : The first of the year a lady
started in the business with twelve hens
and one rooster. In a period of 91 days
she gathered and sold 91 dozen of eggs.
And then to clinch matters , each of those
dozen hens laid 15 eggs more apiece and
hatched 15 chickens in each instance.
Much Married.
It has already developed that Dr. F. D.
Reynolds , the Trenton dentist and biga
mist , has five wives , and with all the
back counties and unorganized territory
to hear from.
Shorthand Class.

The Burlington's special traitr.of east
ern land agents and farmers , arrived at
this station , Wednesday 'afternoon at
three o'clock. The special consisted of
a day coach , two Pullman sleepers the
Persia and Napier and an official car
containing General Passenger Agent P.
S. Eustis of the C , B. &Q. , and General
Passenger Agent John Francis of theBur-
lington , who were in charge of the party
the excursionists being the guests of
the Burlington. There were between
sixty and seventy excursionists in the
party , composed in part of land agents
and of a larger proportion of farmers
from the states of Ohio , Iudiana and Ill
inois. Besides quite a sprinkling of local
lands agents and others accompanied
part } ' .
Upon their arrival here the entire par
ty was hurried into carriages and the
time before supper was utilized in show
ing the land , crops and prospects of this
neighborhood to the visitors. A large
portion were driven over the attractive
country north and west of the citywhile
others viewed the land south and west
of the cit3 * . The evidences of our unequaled -
equaled wheat crops and the splendid
corn crop prospects were duly and thor
oughly exhibited to the astonished ex
cursionists , who were filled with won
derment and pleasure at the beauty and
productiveness of this country , and not
a few words of praise were heard for
McCook.
This is a large and expensive advertis
ing project of the Burlington and is des
tined to be ofimniensa\alue , ; to Sonthern
Nebraska , whose lands and crops have
thus been exhibited/under favorable aus
pices. The peoplelof McCook responded
promptly and generously in.the way of
providing carriages and those to drive
and offer information to the visitors.
Every effort was .made by our people to
make the stop of the excursionists here
of a few hours pleasant and profitable.
And when Tve note the spirit in which
the visitors departed we believe that they
succeeded in both.
After taking supper here at 8:30 o'clock
the special left for Atwood , Kansas ,
whither thefrun was made in the .night
so that theVertiie Beavefvalh % " couia be
shown the excursionists in daylight. The
itinerar } ' arranged will keep the party
in Southern Nebraska the rest of this
week , closing at Lincoln , Saturday.
From such a showing of our produc
tive soil and crops great results in immi
gration and land purchase will doubtless
result.
Smith-Cole.
The following account of the wedding of
two well known McCook people we clip
from a Sioux City , Iowa , paper : "A very
pretty home wedding occurred at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Kercherval ,
No. 206 Kansas street , at 8 o'clock on
( last ) Wednesday evening , when their
daughter , Nora M. Cole , was united in
marriage to AlexanderSmith of McCook ,
Nebraska. The ceremony was performed
by Rev.E.M. Bowers , pastor of the First
Christian church , in presence of a small
company of friends and relatives. The
bride was becomingly gowiied in a styl
ish costume of green silk and wool , and
carried a bunch of white roses. Imme
diately following the ceremony a wed
ding supper was served. The newly wed
ded pair will be at home to their friends
in McCook Nebraska , after August 25th. "
TheTribune adds its congratulations
and well-wishes.
