We had a horse race on the course
here, last Thursday afternoon. Now
horse races are usually enjoyable and
exciting, and are not in themselves par
ticularly ought else than harmless but
then there is great likelihood to be
dissatisfaction connected with the same,
which with the addition of moistening
element, easily procurable, has ten
dency to transform an otherwise peace
ably disposed crowd into a disorderly
and drunken mob. The race resulted
in victory for the Starbuck horse, to
the chagrin of the many Indianola peo-
pie who came up to witness the expect
ed victory of their favorite horse, and
after the race was over some of the
Indianola boys came up to town, and a
portion of them took on board more
"budge" than was expedient, and there
was the usual performance. The PEG.
pie and town were roundly cursed, they
had neither money nor sand. in fact in
the eyes Of some Of these drunken
braggarts the standard Of manhood was
very low. There was one miserable
drunken wretch who excelled all others
in his disorderly conduct, indecent ex-
posture of person, etc., Quigley, we be-
lieve, is his patronymic, and we under
stand that he is not entirely unknown
to fame in his own home. Two or three
of the party behaved themselves in a
manner that should have consigned
them to the cooler-if we were blessed
with such an nstitution-over night.

AN exchange warns the country
against the small -calibre bosses, and
we echo the warning, and add that the
republican party is in no need of bosses
of any description, small or large cali
bre. They are an insuferable nuisance
wherever and whoever they may be. It
needs leaders and will give them all
due honor and preferment, but the
bosses will be retired. The party bosses
itself and will prosper best when thus
conducted. Faction and quarrels always
occur when there are self-appointed
bosses, and hence they are not only
nuisance but also a menace to the
party.-Gazette-Journal.

west Of McCook. He has about $50
head of graded cattle ON the ranch,
which comprises about 400 acres Of
bottom and bench land under fence,
with half mile of excellent river front,
making one Of the most desirable
ranches along the valley. In addition
Mr.. Nettleton has large range of ter
ritory south of him, over which his
stock run in the winter. An extended
drive through the immense canyons,
which run back from the river, and over
the adjoining divide, showed the grass
to be unusually luxuriant, and cattle
are looking fat and sleek. The enter
tanning hospitality and excellent meals
of Mrs. Nettleton and assistants were

BLAINE, says a Washington cores
pendent of the Cleveland Leader, is one
of the best hand-shakers in public life.
He seizes your hand, gives it hearty
shake, and holds it firmly and rather
confdentially while he is talking. Here
at Bellaire he was shaking hands from
the beginning to the end of his visit,
and crowds gathered around the depot
anxious to give him parting look or
shake before the train left. He was
sitting in the car by the window and
shaking the hands of those ON the plat
form outside, when among others, a
very pretty Virginia girl came up.
Blaine seized her hand with his hearty
grip. Almost instinctively and at
almost the same moment, and old friend
of his engaged him in conversation.
He began to talk holding to the girls
hand, and not noticing, I suppose, that
it was not the hand of the man to whom
he was speaking. After about a minute
affair began to attract attention. The
girl attempted to pull her hand away
gently, but Blaine, who was engaged
in an animated conversation only TIC int
ened his grip and talked faster. At this
the young girls lover, who, with hot
face, had been standing back in the
crowd, came up and twitching Blaine's
sleeve, pointed out to him what he was
doing. He let go the girls hand tt once
with word of apology and the blushing
maiden was led away into the crowd.

The following account of joke per-
petrated on our jovial electric spark by
Lincoln dispatchers is to be found in
the Railroader: Their latest and most
successful joke was on j. F. Forbes, the
strawberry blonde, who dispatches at
McCook during the day. Forbes is one
Of these if-you-get-it-on-me-yo re-a-
good one, kind of fellow, who consid-
ers himself invulnerable to the shafts
of the designing. He had just returned
from trip to Chicago and laid over a
day at Lincoln to see the boys and chat
over old times. While sitting at the
through wire he answered "Ni, in a
mechanical kind of way, and received
a dispatch, asking his superior officer
if he still wanted 6rst-class train dis
patcher, and to see his letter in regard
to dissatisfaction with one of his men.
Forbes broke into cold sweat and tried
to laugh the matter off, and asked the
chief if he did not want an operator.
However, he gradually Gained down
and assumed rational look.
When the iendish jokers thought
him sufficiently cool, they called him
over to another wire and told him
McCook Office wished to speak to him.
He innocently answered to his initial
letter and was confdentially Informed
that his effects had been seized at the
hotel and that two different parties had
garnisheed him. He feebly attempted
to rally from this last shock, and said
he did not understand the matter at all,
but just as he was sinking into dreamy
state of insensibility, light began to
illuminate his brain and he muttered
between his teeth /: "Sold by Thunder"
Explanations were in order and box
of the best cigars obtainable, stopped
the loud outlaws of the numerous dis
patchers, operators, clerks and message
boys, who were accessories to the das-
tardly plot.
