As the contract with the McCook Loan

above was the only action taken.

Saturday nights of the month. ( How
ever , in order to make it possible to
$ rive two concerts under this contract
during the month of July , the first con
cert will be given on the third Saturday
evening , July I5th. )
A Confidence Game.
A casual perusal of the article in last
week's Bartley Inter-Ocean describing
the 4th of July celebration in McCook
discloses the fact that the successor of
the late and sincerely lamented Editor
Smith has been made the victim of a
confidence game by Colonel Jeffries ,
whose efforts to belittle and misrepre
sent the celebration in McCook only
lacks success perforce of the impotence
and insignificance of the writer. The
article discloses the mendacity and ig
norance of the colonel , and in no way
necessarily reflects upon what was one
of the most successful celebrations held
in this section of the state.
Swift as a Post.
The sporting editor of the Comfort is
us swift as a post when it comes to
"doing" the base ball critique. For
real , pure , genuine , unseriousness and
unsophisticatedness , the colonel , in his
report of the base ball game on the 4th ,
took every vestige of the bakery , liut ,
forsooth , the colonel must not be taken
seriously , without doing violence to
one's sense of the humorous for the
colonel is really funny , if anything.

Car-load Shipments.
A comparison of the car-load ship
ments from Red Willow county in 1898
show a marked increase over the 1897
shipments , as the following figures in
dicate :
From McCook in 1898 Live-stock ,
356 ; grain , 352 ; total , 708. In 1897
Live-stock , 176 ; grain , 247 ; total , 423.
From Lebanon in 1898 Live-stock ,
164 ; grain , 136 ; total , 300. In 1897
Live-stock , 60 ; grain , 61 ; total , in.
From Danbury in 1898 Live-stock ,
193 ; grain , 216 ; total , 409. In 1897
Live-stock , 102 ; grain , 92 ; total , 194.

station of Wilsonville is the heaviest
stock shipping point on the Burlington
in this state , while Holdrege is the
largest grain shipping station on the line
in Nebraska. Wilsonville shipped 442
cars of stock in 1898.
McAdams Got the Contract.
At the last meeting of the board of

the new court house. The Barnett Lum
ber Co. and James McAdams were the
only bidders , and the contract was
awarded McAdams , who agrees to per
form the work required for about $1,300.
Work is now progressing on the vaults
for the county clerk and treasurer and
on the brick partition on that floor.
Appropriations have been made , which ,
together with the proceeds of the Mc
Cook city bonds sold , will complete the
entire first story and thus provide fine
quarters for each of the county officers.
Commissioners Robinson and Belles are
following the proper course in this mat
ter and are to be commended in the in
terest they are taking in the completion
of the county's handsome new court
house.

Red Letter Days in the Black Hills.
Hot Springs , Sylvan Lake and Spearfish -
fish aie three Black Hills summer re
sorts that are as attractive in their way
as any places of their kind in the west.
And they are as different as any three
places can be.
Hot Springs is a health resort a
good place to get rid of one's rheuma
tism and to enjoy life while renewing
one's youthful vigor.
Sylvan Lake is a pretty nook in the
heart of the Hills , an easy-going , cool ,
dreamy spot , where hot weather is un
known.
Spearfish is a thrifty town of perhaps
1,500 people , not particularly notable
except in one respect the beauty of the
railroad ride to it. You should make
the trip to realize how fine it is. There
is nothing more exhilarating , even in
the Rockies.
During July , the Burlington Route
will run two cheap excursions to Hot
Springs and Custer ( Sylvan Lake ) one
on the 4th , the other on the iSth. One
fare , plus $2 , for the round trip. Tickets
good 30 days long enough to enable
you to visit every point of interest in
the Black Hills , as well as to receive
untold benefit from the crisp air and
healing waters of this northern sanitar
ium.
