The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1893-03-31
An Auspicious Opening.

Perhaps their most suspicious opening
since the advent of l.. Lowman Il Son to
our city was that held by them on the
the afternoon and evening of Wednesday
of this week. Their establishment was
thronged to overlooking by the ladies of
McCook and vicinity and from neighbor-
ing towns, anxious to see the unusu-
ally large and elegant stock just opened
for inspection in all departments oftheir
we'll filled store.
Their purchases this season exceeded
all previous efforts both in point of
mount and richness and variety, and
their display in the several departments
was the finest they have ever made.
In dry goods they presented a most
attractive assortment; especially was the
exhibit of dress goods complete and rich
and varied. The department in its va
rious lines was replete with many new
and desirable goods, in quality and price
to suit all.
LII Lie uiiiliuClJ department eASAS "oS
a particularly pretty and effective dis
play of handsome and stylish trimmed
hats and bonnets, together with an end
less variety of the fashionable and lovely
ct ceteras of the milliner's art. Miss
Odum is in charge of this department,
and gave ample and satisfactory proof of
her fitness to preside over that interest.
Miss Rowell also had on display from
the popular dress-making room of the
establishment a rich and handsome crea-
ton made as a part of the wedding out
fit of an Iowa prospective bride, which
was a credit to that department, and
elected many expressions of praise.
In imported and domestic cloaks there
was a fine selection of natty and swell
garments.
Souvenirs were distributed to the early
guests, the unusual attendance, however,
soon making the supply to disappear.
1t was withal a very gratifying opening.

The plain man who uses any article in

an improvement can be too simple to be
worth patcnting. The simpler the bet

combining simplicity and popularity
will get the Press Claims Company's

The responsibility of this company may
be judged from the fact that its stock is

NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION.

This is a competition of rather an UNI
usual nature. 1t is common to offer
prizes for the best story, or picture, or
architectural plan, all the competitors
risking the loss IF their labor and the
successful one merely selling his for the
amount OF the prize. But the Press
Claims Company's offer is something
entirely different. Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage Is to
be rewarded for doing it. The prize is
only stimulus to do something that
would be well werth doing without it.
The architect whose competitive plan for
a club house on certain corner is not
accepted has spent his labor on some

San Francisco Mining and Scientific Press,
In another column will be found q
copy of the articles of incorporation
OF company which proposes to hans
die mining properties on q plan which
looks as il it were . good one for the
mine-owners and purchasers. The in
corporators are all men of standing 10
the community and of practical ex-
perience in mining affairs. They in
tend to act as agent for eastern and
foreign mine-owners and will have
correspondents in New York, Chi
cago, London, Paris, Berlin and other
cities. The main feature of the Or
ganization Is that which provides for
assisting miners and prospeotors to
dispose OF properties without their be-
ing overloaded by middle men. and
mines will be advertised for sale just
as real estate is offered. Tho policy
is this: When a man comes in and re.
ports mine to be worth $4,000 and
wishes to list the same with the com>
pany, it will send one Of its experts
out to verify his statement. If veri.
fed tho company will offer bis mine
for sale at his own figure aud charge
him commission for selling. This
enables the buyer to get a mine At
bedrock figures. and the seller At the
same time gets his price, less the com
mission, of course, which will be
agreed upon.
Several attempts have been made
at various times to establish mining
bureaus, mining agencies, etc., for the
sale Of mines, but none have been
successful, either because tho origina>
tors were irresponsible and took any
property that came along, or because
they were mere middle men working
under company's name. They have
not guaranteed tho state ments made
by the would be sellers or taken
steps to verify reports. As We under.
stand it, this new organization will
FIRST satisfy itself, through its experts
Of the value of tho property and Their
offer it for sale. 1t is only intended
to handle legitimate mining proper
ties which have some prospective
merit.
| Another feature will be furnishing
information to ncn-residents concern
ing properties 10 which they are in
terested. That is, they will obtai,
information in regard to mines ane
impart this on receipt of fee. Il
will have nothing to do with mining
stocks one way or another, Legitimate
mining being its only sphere. From
its articles of incorporation the com
pany itself is prohibited from pur.
chasing as q corporation any mining
; property which is offered to it for sale
This is q provision which no slmila
organization has had, and il is an i'm
por,ant one, combining the company
to its legitimate functions as al
agent. The incorporates of the nev
company are: Irwin q. Stump, Irv
ing NJ. Scott, j. H. Neff, w. F. Goad

DESERTED VILLAGES.
Boom Towns of the West That
 Are Now Desolate.
The Rise and Fall of Mining Camps Which Once Had Thousands of Peo- pie, But Are Now tho Abodes of
 owls and Snakes.

If Oliver Goldsmith were alive to make tour of the far western states and of some sections of the south, he could find many deserted village there that was once the liveliest if not, like his beloved Auburn, the lovelicst of the plain. In Kansas alone, according to the New York World, where it would appear that towns as well as individuals have felt the disastrous results of phlebotomy, there are fully twenty such abandoned villages, and in Nevada, California, Georgia and Alabama they are numerous. Once thriving minin. camps like Bodie and White Pine that grew great in a night; boom towns such as Fargo Springs, that sprang up as quickly as if a magician had called them into being, and prosperous and substantial cities like Summer, in early days the most important town and prospective metropolis of Kansas scores of these decayed municipalities now lie abandoned and dcsolatc, their rotting away, their streets thick with a rank growth of weeds, and only few old timers, or in some cases only a soli- tary postmaster, left to tell men of the present generation of their former hustle and prosperity. In various in stances, as at Petersburg, in Georgia, nothing but mounds of earth and n Populous cemetery remain to testify to the towns departed glory.
 Especially mournful has been the fate of those abandoned towns whose only inhabitants to-day are the animals and reptiles that have left prairie and sand hills to take refuge in the deserted dwellings Time has played one of his most fantastic tricks with human for tune in permitting owls to fit about nndcr the rafters that echoed all the night through to the boisterous revclry of owl clubs, and snakes to squirm un- der the very tables at which barlkeepers dealt out biting red eye in exchange for gold dust; wEilc wolves prowl through the forsaken lair of the tiger. It is like plunging into an atmosphere of gloom to visit these blightcd cities, for on every side stand mute reminders of the feverish activity of the past to intensity the sad stiffness of the present
 Perhaps the most striking of accounts of ruined boom towns are those which relate the untoward fate of Pierce City and Kit Carson. Less than genera. ton ago Pierce City, with its lawless population of twenty thousand miners and gamblers, was one of the most notable settlements between Denver and the coast Its inhabitants to-day are handful of Chinamen, while Kit Carson has only one hundred left of the seven thousand restless souls, who twenty years ago sought gold by day and revelry by night.

ONE HABIT prevails in England which that country must outgrow before Americans will take kindly to arrange ments there. It is said that. after the marriage of the duke of York there will be a dual breakfast. The queen and the Royalists generally will dine in one room, and the cabinet and special guests in another. To make it hearty good thing the Americans would want the folding-doors opened ant; the table heightened 80 that they might all to- gether lift their glasses and holding them toward the old queen announce to her that "We are looking at you." That old stiff style of breakfasting in in different rooms may do in England. In this country the boys and girls would not have it that way.

WOOL ON THE FREE LIST.

There is no doubt that the existing depression in business is largely due to fear of the action congress will talk in regard to the tsrig. Take the wool growing industry; the price of wool is approximately low, owing to the threat that the country will be flooded with the Australian product. The new Canadian Pacific steamship line from Australia ia in shape to bring vast quantities of wool to this country. The price of wool is very low in Australia just now, owiaF to the financial dis. tress that prevails there. The Demo. cratic leaders declare that wool shall go on the free list and that Washington farmers shall be brought in competi. tion with Australian wool growers. The Goldendale Sentinel, published in the heart oi the Washington wool dis trlct, and not a strong partisan paper, says
 L. O'Brisn, the well.known wool raiser of Centerville, clipped from his band oi sheep last year thrty.fiye bales of wool which averaged in weight 300 T0U1ds each, aggregating l0, 500 pOunds. This wool was sold last year in The Dailes at l6R cents pound, and brought him Sl ,732 50. This year his clip amounts tO fOrtv.hve balas o1Crn gsting l3,5OO pounds. The very best offer he can get for it is 10 cents a pound, and thls seems to be the ex. treme price of The Dalles market. Es- timating the value of his clip at last years price, MT. O'Brien has lost the sum of $S77.50. And yet the free trade millennium has not arrived. It is only on it's way, and wool buyers are simply adjusting prices to the time when Australia and South America can ship wool free into this country, and make money as long as or cents a pound ia realized. Democratic free trade comes high, but we must nave it.
 The ElIensburg Locali,sr is not very well pleased with the outlook. It says:
 The crop of wool in this county is es- timated at 200, 900 pounds. The Seattle dealers have paid and 7lI cents for @ large quantity. It opens low, as manu. lecturers are afraid that it may go lower, and they do not want to be caught with large stocks on hand, as there IS possibility of the price ruling lower after the tariff tinkers get through with their work of reforming.
