Weeks passed. Leonora had not
heard from her husband; she knew that
his affection for herwas sincere, and he
would not have neglected her if he were
not demoralized by dissipation.
One evening she sat alonein her DESC
late home, almost heart-broken; con-
ISOLATION she had none; she had no con-
fidant, for she was too true a woman
to disclose her husbands follies to the
world.
Her sad thoughts were interrupted
by knock at the door. A gentleman

SOCIAL HAPPENINGS.
CRYSTAL WEDDING.
Mr.. and Mrs. G. L. Laws are Surprised
by Host Of Friends and Neigh.
bors on the Evening of Their
Fifteenth Anniversary.

last Thursday evening was a mem
orable occasion in the social world of
McCook. At an early hour, the elite
of the Magic City began arriving at the
residence of Mrs. Noren, whence,
seventy-fve strong, they marched on
the Laws mansion, which, Respondent
with new furniture, carpets, etc, looks
cosy and homelike of a verify. The
Light-Guard Band in full dress uui-
form soon made their appearance on
the festive scene, and discoursed some
very fine music, which was heartily
enjoyed by all. Our band, composed
as it is, by some of our best musical
talent, is source of excusable pride
in our community. The Band was in
vited into the house, and refreshments
served. This subject we feel unable to
cope with. Such coffee, sandwiches,
cakes, candies nuts, fruit, don't speak
of it!
AS the spokeswoman for the Ladies'
Sewing Society, Mrs. DUNCAN. made
some appropriate remarks to the occas-
ion, in presenting the gift of the So
ciety. Mr.. Laws said he was unable
to express his feelings in a satisfactory
manner, but that he appreciated the
motives that prompted the demonstra-
ton more highly than the many beauti-
full presents received; that he had come
into our midst, to stay-to be of us,
and most cordially invited all to enjoy
the hospitality Of the comfortable home
he had builded, with himself and fam
lily,
The people of our community are
not drones in the worlds busy hive, and
they enjoy social intercourse all the
more keenly when the opportunity is
afforded, and the universal comment
was, "What a delightful time" THE
TRIBUNE adds it's best wishes to Mr..
and Mrs. Laws, whose fifteen years of
happy married life was thus so properly
commemorated. The following is a

G. G. Burton of Hastings, Neb., who
has been travelling in Nebraska for the
past ten years, desires to procure homes
for himself and few other families
that are now living near Omaha. Red
Willow county has been selected by the
colony, and Mr.. Burton authorized to
look up claims or decided land. Claims
with timber and water preferred. They
do not propose to pay any fancy price,
but will give reasonable price for i'm
provements and claim.
All the lumber is now on the spot
for the bridge. AS soon as the piles
and driver arrive, and they are expected
daily, the work will be prosecuted with
all possible haste. The completion of
a bridge over the river at this point
will be hailed with delight by those liv-
ing on the south side, who have either had
to ford this treacherous stream or 60
to Indianola or Oberlin; and the
more so, as the weather is becoming
colder, and they fancy ducking in it's
cold water the less. It will open up
and make tributary large territory of
country, hitherto unable to trade here
during the more severe weather.
Therefore our merchants will also re-
joice.
"Neighbor" Archibald made the
run between Akron and this place,
one day last week, a distance of 143
miles in $50 minutes. Considering the
stops made and slowing up at crossings,
this is an average of little over so
miles an hour. While this is the fast
est time probably ever made west of
the Missouri, for that distance; still it
is not much faster than the schedule
time, which is IA minutes faster than
the fast train on Pennsylvania Central.
If they possessed the rolling-stock and

At McCook, where, two short years
ago, nothing numbered the ground but
cactus and buffalo grass, is neat little
city of upwards of thousand souls, a
good round-house and machine shop
and water works that has over seven
ty-fye pounds pressure per inch, that is
rapidly being extended to the houses.
Next year creamery will be started to
work up the products of the large num-
Der of COWS that are kept on the ada
cent ranches. The markets are fully
supplied with home-raised vegetables
of nearly all sorts, and the prospect is
that next year will nearly double the
present size of this young pioneer city.
