Leaks Some Sawdust.

Colonel Mitchell grows more wooden
headed with the expansion of his sample
copy circulation. In writing up the re-
moval of the postofice, this week. he
lets out some more sawdust, when he
asserts that the new location incopveni-
ences a majority of the patrons of the Of
fee. On the contrary the new location is
in every way more desirable and conven-
lent for most of the patrons of the Office
than the old location. And had the order
to relocate come before the Colonel sought

turbed him so painfully. The Colonel
is getting to be a delightfully."- amusing
contortionist, but should never be taken
seriously. 1t would be a sin. The
Colonel should confne himself to circu-
lation fabrications and ~fancies.

Want a Swimming Station.

There was a fair representation oil
farmers and business men present, Tues
day afternoon, at the public meeting
held in the city hall to look into the
matter of securing the establishment
here of q skimmiug station Of the Lin
coin Creamery. The scheme of the
company was fully and fairly presented
by General Manager MARBLE, and it ap-
peared to be business-like and profitable
to company and patron.
After considering the mater quite
carefully and hearing from S. f. Solo
mel of Culbertson, who is a patron of
the Culbertson station, it was decided TO
encourage the establishment here Of a
Swimming station, and in due time a rep
resentative of the company will be on the
ground for the purpose of securing sub
scriptions of stock.
THE TRIBUNE is favorably impressed
with the scheme, and hopes that no
reasonable effort will be spared to make
a success of the movement.
There is no doubt but that the dairy
of the state of Nebraska and
of this section of the state especially,

it can be made a promising and

This seems to be a good thing and

He Had a Good Job.

An amusing joke was played on a
warlike citizen down in the round house,
this week, which will bear mention here
not because of its personal bearing, but
for the reason that it is characteristic of
a numerous class of fre-eaters:
a representative of the Omaha Bee was
passed off on the aforesaid belligerent
citizen as a recruiting officer of the gen
eral government, and Immediately all
idea of bathing in Spanish gore disap-
peared from the warriors mind. He
would go if compelled by draft, but sug-
gested that the recruiting officer" en-
list men out of a job. He had a good job
and did not want to leave. Here, Lord;

Death to MurdererS."

The dreadful accident in which Miss
Wilson, the school teacher, lost her life,
recently near Quick. Frontier county,
will be readily recalled by our readers.
A dash of comedy was added to this sad
and tragic event, the other night, when
the runaway horse was taken from the
stable of the owner, Mr.. Wallace, taken
to the spot in the canyon where the la
mented young lady is supposed to have
lost her life, and there shot through the
head. The wreck of the cart was then
tied to the neck of the slaughtered
equine. to which was also tied a card,
which signaled the startling fact, THAT
no murderer shall enter the kingdom of
heaven'-not eve horse heaven.
