The action Of the Commissioners in
dividing Deer Greek township will
meet very general approval. The
township was very large, being eleven
miles long by six miles wide, and is
fully able to support two governments.
The township which will henceforth
be designated as Deer Creek, is six
miles square, while Carlyle township
is five miles wide by six miles long.
The barrel race at the skating rink
Tuesday night attracted quite crowd.
Charlie Amrine and Johnnie Often en-
tered for it. Their struggles to get
through the barrels, which were plac-
ed loose upon the floor, would have
been amusing if each had been left
to himself, but the effort made by 9TH
er parties to keep them from getting
through spoiled the fun. We under
stand that a potato race will be the
next attraction.
Judge Stillwell prays to be delivered

The "parlor circus" which exhibit

logs are well trained. The entertain

kate before and afterwards, and as no |
Extra charge is made the rink ought to |

'o-night and tomorrow night.
Miss Louise Hutchinson, of Kansas
City, was in town this week and has
made arrangements with McCook
Post to give an Evolutionary entertain
nent under their auspices on Satur-
lay evening, Feb. Z. She comes ex-
tremely well recommended and will
undoubtedly give an entertainment of
high merit. AT the request of MEM
oers of the Post, she gave two or three
before the high school yes
terday morning which were highly
spoken of by those who heard them.
More definite announcement of her en-
5agement here will be made in due

By the action of the Board of Com
the county printing for the
year 1885 has been awarded to the
COurant. THE REGISTER has taken
occasion several times heretofore to ex-
press the opinion that this thing of
compelling publishers TO bid for the
county printing was all fraud, and

low. Times are hard though and the
county must be run as economically as

lbout ten dollars lower than that |
made by THE REGISTER, we have no
complaint to make. We can assure |
'ur readers, however, that they will
lot lose anything as THE REGISTER
