McGovern yesterday forenoon and as mother and child are getting along nicely, Mac feels pretty gay. -- It is reported that several important business changes will probably occur within the next two weeks, and this announcement is made only for the pur pose of setting people to guessing. The locomotive engineers and their families, together with others, went out to Lamplaugh's lake this morning for the purpose of holding a picnic. The day will no doubt be pleasantly passed. The ice cream social held by the band boys Saturday evening was wall attended, though the temperature of the evening was not such as to make a heavy demand for the frozen dainty. Call on Davis & Co. and see the best mowers made. We defy competition on our mowers. -- The commissioners are along pretty well with allowing bills against the county, but no warrants will bo issued until chairman Murphy returns and signs them. County clerk Stoddard has posted a notice to the effect that the warrants will probably be ready to be issued August 1st. Otis Corbottan uncle of Jim Corbett. the prize ring fighter, was in town Sun- day. On the 2Gth of June Mr. Corbett and J. R. Hamilton launched a flat boat in the South Platte river near Denver and declared their intention of cointr to New Orleans in their craft. Reaching a point near Ogalalla last week they found the water in the South Platte getting a little shallow and had their boat trans- ferred to the North Platte, and it was while this work was being done that Mr. Corbett came to town. It will probablv bo well into the fall season before the excursionists reach their destination. Having just cotnplpted an addition to their residence and made other im- provements, Mr, and Mrs. C. E. Norton concluded to have a "house warming," that is probably an incorrect phrase this weather and invite a number of friends thereto. This they according did on Monday evoning, and from the merry peals of laughter which came from the house, together with the sweet strains of an orchestra, it was evident that tho guests were having a right royal time. Tho lawn was lighted with Chinese lan terns which produced a very pretty ef- fect. Wo are in it on Binding Twine Davis & Co. On or about the 2Cth inst L. Strick ler will move his hardware store to the Hinman block on Front street, occupy ing the first room west of Ormsby's gro- cery. In his new location he will con- tinue to carry in stock a full line of goods, and sell at prices well the pub- lic know how low his prices have been in the past, and they will continue to be kept down to bed-roc- k. Mr. Strickler will be pleased to meet all his old cus- tomers in his new location, and those who have not patronised him in tho past will find it to their advantage to see him beforo making contemplated purchases. A regular meeting of the city coun- cil was held Monday evoning, the mayor and all members being present. After the usual preliminary business had been transacted, the bids for hauling dirt and teaming were reconsidered, and on mo- tion tho contract was awarded to S. W. VanDoran, his bid being thirty-fou- r cents per load for drawing dirt and 314 per day for teaming. A petition for a sidewalk on the south side of Sixth Btreet running from Ash to Locust, was referred to the proper committee. The committee on public improvements was requestod to report in full upon the pro posecl west end ditch at the next meet ing. Tho mayor stated that the assessed valuation of city property figured in round numbers $127,000 and that war- rants to tho amount of $3,700 could now be drawn. The council then proceeded to allow all the bills on file except one lumber bill for S133, which was placed in tho hands of a committee for exami nation.

S. H. Dowehower, Cora , H..F. Reese, ) CHURCH NOTES Rev. J. C. Irwin, Editor. Rev. Leedom, of the North Platte dis- trict, goes to Hastings this week as n district delegate to the stato convention of the Epworth League. Revs. Arasberry, Smith and Leedom wero at Wallace last week in attendance at tho District Ministerial Association. They report a good time. J. W. Robb, of Sunner, Neb., stopped over a day with the writer's family last week on his way to Camp Clark, Neb., to spend his vacation. Tho subjects of sermons at the Pres- byterian church next Sabbath will be: Morning, "The Secrets of the Lord, how to Know Them," Evening, "Irrigation." Tho anniversary of the Women's Home Missionary Society was held at the M. E. church last Sabbath evening. Mrs. Collins, the conference president ad dressed the meeting. The Baptist people wero disappointed, in the man they expected to preach last Sabbath, not putting in an appearance. We trust that these good people will soon find a suitable man to take chargo of the work of the church. The congregations at our churches wero smaller than usual last Sabbath, the probable cause being the warm weather. Friends, remembor that so long as you expect your pastor to preach you ought to be present to him. In our absence last week we had en- gaged another to prepare the news of this column, but for somo reason he failed to furnish the items. If any one missed the news they will have to ask our brother for tho reason they did not appear. The funeral of Mrs. Virgina Davis was held at the M. E. church on Sabbath at two p. m., Rev. Smith preaching the ser- mon. There was a large attendance of sympathizing friends present to express their appreciation of tho worth of this sister. W have been anxious to see work be- gun on the new Episcopal church. We presume our brethren are studying plans carefully, and when they do begin the erection of the building thoy will push it rapidly to completion and have just what they want. Tho young people's lawn social at the Lutheran church last week was quite well patronized, notwithstanding our Episcopal brethren had a social tho evening. The young people of tho Lu- theran church "netted ten dollars, which they contributed to tho causo of home missions. Rev. OToolo, of St. Patrick's church, spent a day fishing at Lamplaugh's lake last week. Whon ho returned to town, I think, he kept the fishing tackle con- cealed, and I do not believe he cares to have you ask him the number of risli ho Sunday night from a month's visit friends in Nebraska and Brother Kuhlman hns lon writing and Sunday of been by Rev. encourage series of very interesting items for tho Lutheran Era, on Pioneer work in "Neb. This brother knows all about tho experi ence of the people in the early days ot this stato. Ho had much to do in laying foundations for tho work of this church" through the eastern part of the state, and has certainly much satisfaction in " seeing the growth of the work, which he was instrumental in starting. It was our privelege to preach at Sutherland on Sabbath eveninir. Julv 10th. Tho congregation was much larg- er than the school house would accom- modate, many wero gathered on the out side, who could not get in. This people are taking steps toward the building of a church, and they would appreciate any help that mends might bo ltfclined to render them. Miss Lutio Welsh has returned from New York City, where she went as a. delegate to the Christian Endeavor con- vention. She reported to the society on Sabbath evening. She reports 40,000 delegates in attendance; the largest re ligious gathering in the history of the world. Think of 40,000 christian young people from all parts of the country assembled to talk over the interests of the Redeemer's kingdom.. Who shall say that this world is growing worse?

Rev. Leedom, of the North Platte dis-trict, goes to Hastings this week as ndistrict delegate to the stato conventionof the Epworth League.

Revs. Arasberry, Smith and Leedomwero at Wallace last week in attendanceat tho District Ministerial Association.They report a good time.

J. W. Robb, of Sunner, Neb.,stopped over a day with the writer'sfamily last week on his way to CampClark, Neb., to spend his vacation.

Tho subjects of sermons at the Pres-byterian church next Sabbath will be:Morning, "The Secrets of the Lord, howto Know Them," Evening, "Irrigation."

Tho anniversary of the Women's HomeMissionary Society was held at the M.E. church last Sabbath evening. Mrs.Collins, the conference president addressed the meeting.

The Baptist people wero disappointed,in the man they expected to preach lastSabbath, not putting in an appearance.We trust that these good people willsoon find a suitable man to take chargoof the work of the church.

The congregations at our churcheswero smaller than usual last Sabbath,the probable cause being the warmweather. Friends, remembor that solong as you expect your pastor to preachyou ought to be present tohim.

In our absence last week we had en-gaged another to prepare the news ofthis column, but for somo reason hefailed to furnish the items. If any onemissed the news they will have to askour brother for tho reason they did notappear.

The funeral of Mrs. Virgina Davis washeld at the M. E. church on Sabbath attwo p. m., Rev. Smith preaching the ser-mon. There was a large attendance ofsympathizing friends present to expresstheir appreciation of tho worth of thissister.

W have been anxious to see work be-gun on the new Episcopal church. Wepresume our brethren are studying planscarefully, and when they do begin theerection of the building thoy will pushit rapidly to completion and have justwhat they want.

Tho young people's lawn social at theLutheran church last week was quitewell patronized, notwithstanding ourEpiscopal brethren had a social thoevening. The young people of tho Lu-theran church "netted ten dollars, whichthey contributed to tho causo of homemissions.

Rev. OToolo, of St. Patrick's church,spent a day fishing at Lamplaugh's lakelast week. Whon ho returned to town, Ithink, he kept the fishing tackle con-cealed, and I do not believe he cares tohave you ask him the number of risli ho

Ho had much to do in layingfoundations for tho work of this church"through the eastern part of the state,and has certainly much satisfaction in "

seeing the growth of the work, which hewas instrumental in starting.

It was our privelege to preach atSutherland on Sabbath eveninir. Julv10th. Tho congregation was much larg-er than the school house would accom-modate, many wero gathered on the outside, who could not get in. This peopleare taking steps toward the building of achurch, and they would appreciate anyhelp that mends might bo ltfclined torender them.

Miss Lutio Welsh has returned fromNew York City, where she went as a.delegate to the Christian Endeavor con-vention. She reported to the society onSabbath evening. She reports 40,000delegates in attendance; the largest religious gathering in the history of theworld. Think of 40,000 christian youngpeople from all parts of the countryassembled to talk over the interests ofthe Redeemer's kingdom.. Who shallsay that this world is growing worse?
