reason thereof , without considerable
improvement to date. The broken ribs

in breathing and excruciating agony.
These , together with the shock and the
age of the patient , make the case com
plicated and serious.
A representative of the Field ant
Farmer , Mr. Phil. D. Miller of Denver ,
was in town , yesterday , looking aftci
the interests of that excellent agricul

The Farm and Field is one of the finest

grading eighty miles of the extension
from Curtis west to a junction with the
main line at Akron , Colo. , a distance of
30 miles. John Fitzgerald , the prince

Ihe completion of this branch will
shorten the distance from Omaha to
Denver , and will doubtless be made the
northern main line in connection with
ihe Ashland cut-off.
Messrs. McMilien & Weeks , who have

> ur citizens , the ladies of the Mite So-
: iety realizing quite handsomely from
lieir worthy efforts in that line , as well
is from the sale of the articles , both
) lain and fancy , exhibited on that oc-
sasion. The ladies enjoy a well-earned
cputation for spreading an excellent
iupper , and the one under considera-
ion was no exception to the rule. We
ake pleasure in reporting it a success

inancially.
The performance of the Bella Moore
3o. in"A Mountain Pink , " Monday even-
ng , at the Opera Hall , we feel justified
n stating , was the most commendable
me that has ever been given in the city.
Hiss Moore is a delightful little actress
md her support is above mediocrity.
Although the company were unable to
ise their scenery and stage settings to
my advantage , which would have added
argejy to the excellence of the play , the
terformance was received with every
nark of approbation. We hope our
icople will be treated to productions of
iqual excellence during the winter.
This is the first city in Nebraska to
.dopt the school savings bank system ,
nd its success here , and the general
ixcellence of the system , is being rap-
dly recognized all over the state , as
he favorable press comments indicate.
Itate Superintendent Jones' attention
las been drawn to the system and ener-
; etic efforts are now being made from
hat quarter to have it introduced into
he public schools throughout the coni-
lonwealth. Those who have been in-
truuicntal in establishing the matter
n McCook have cause to congratulate
heinselves in the happy move they
ave thus initiated.
With this week end the official careers
f Messrs. Laws and Babcock as register
nd receiver of the U.S. land office which
3 located in this city , and which they
onnally opened some three years since ,
t were superfluous and unnecessary for
s to enlarge upon the well-known fact
f the efficiency and popularity of the
stiring officials. Both of these gentle-
icn can step down and out with the
onsciousness of having performed their
uspective duties in a thorough , highly
ornplimentary and satisfactory manner ,
'hey have looked carefully after the in-
jrests of the government and the people
s well , making a record of carefulness
nd efficiency that the new officials may
rell emulate.
PAYSON OH LAIRD.
POLITICAL Tiiuxnmt IN
VERTS UPON His OWN HEAD.
Mr. McKeighan refers to Mr. Pay-son ,
member of Congress from Illinois , and
cites him as against Mr. Laird. This
action of McKeighan in attempting to
array Mr. Payson against Mr. Laird led
to the following letter from Mr. Payson ,
which explains itself :
PONTJAC , ILL. , Oct. 15,1886.
DEAR SIR : It is not only just , but I
take pleasure in stating that in 48th and
the first session of the 49th Congress
Mr. Laird voted for every land grant
forfeiture bill presented , so far as I
remember. I know he always expressed
views in harmony with my own on that
question. E remember that he support
ed , as did Mr. Weaver of your state , my
substitute bill which passed the House
in the 48th Congress , subjecting railroad
lauds to taxation on penalty of forfeit
ure. Mr. Laird offered a bill on the same
subject himself similar to the one which
passed , amending the Thurman Act. at
the same session. Mr. Laird cordially
supported my "Alien Land Owners
Bill , " and he also did all in his power to
pass the bill for the llelief of the Set
tlers on thc"Knevals Lands" in the 48th
Congress , and did pass it in the 49th.
In fact , so far as I know , Mr. Laird's
views have been in harmony with my
own on ALL matters coming from the
committee on public lands , except the
bill for the repeal of the Pre-Emption ,
Timber-Culture and Desert Land Acts ,
as to which bill , he with other western
members , voted against the repeal of
the pre-emption law.
You are at full liberty to use this let
ter as you see fit. Truly Yours ,
L. E. PAYSON.
It should be remembered that Mr.
Payson is one of the most pronounced
-monopoly Republicans in the House
of .Representatives.
THE FIRST GUN !
The republican mass meeting at the
Opera Hall , Tuesday evening , called to
gether a goodly number of our citizens
to hear the issues of the day discussed
from the grand old republican stand
point. Hon. Geo. H. Hastings wa
first introduced. His remarks were
practical on the issues between the par
ties , and his arraignment of the present
"reform" administration was particu
larly a propos and well received. Hon
J. B. Cessna followed him , covering
pretty much the same ground and exhort
ing the party to vigilance and straigh
voting. The third and last speaker of
the evening was the next State Senator
from this district , J. P. Lindsay , Esq. ,
&f Beaver City. His remarks were
short , but decidedly pointed and effec
tive. lie spoke upon some of the is
sues , or rather political thunder , that
the democratic candidate was attempt
ing to use against him , correcting some
ivrong impressions and clearly stating
md defining his position on the trans
portation and other questions now be-
Fore the people. He created a most
favorable impression , although his lit
tle talk was delivered late in the even
ing when the hall had become cold , and
the audience somewhat fatigued. Mr.
Lindsay gives such evidences of ability
that we feel safe in expecting good
svork for this constituency in the com
ing session of the legislature. The
ioctor was present , but did not addres
; he meeting. This is the only great
lisappointment of the evening.
In the absorbing interest of other and
possibly more important matters , our
citizens must not entirely lose sight of
Lhe precinct ticket to be elected , next
Fuesday. We want to impress the fact
) f its great importance upon the voters
) f this city. A caucus should be called
it once and capable , energetic and effi-
: ient men placed in nomination for the
lifferent offices to be filled. Let us not
3e dilatory and slack in taking hold , and
illow a few irresponsible individuals to
lold a star-chamber caucus and place a
: icket to their liking in the field for the
suffrages of this people , as has been the
; ase heretofore. The citizens should
lave the say in the selection of the
lominees , and we sincerely hope that
: hcy will assert their right. There is an
ilderman to be chosen in the first ward ,
vith the usual precinct officers : Two
usticcs , two constables , an assessor , a
oad overseer , judges and clerks of elec-
ion. The choice of a good alderman
s no mean consideration , while peculiar
mportance attaches to thu peace officers
o be elected. See well to both. A pains-
aking , conscientious assessor is requir-
: d , while the other offices should in no
rise be slighted. A little attention now
s more effective than much kicking
icreafter.
The pernicious , damnable effects of
he open and public gambling in this city
s becoming more and more painfully
vident every day. Even school child-
en , who have seen these accursed games
nanipulated on our streets , are now prac-
icing them , notably the notorious "skin
hell game , " which the writer hereof
bservcd a young school boy practicing
ipon the street , but last Sunday. Is it
ot high time fellow citizens , parents of
IcCook , to take some measures to sup-
iress as far as may be this crying evil.
Vill no effort be made to protect your
ons from these allurements that tend
nly to evil results. Shall gambling
ontinue to openly sap away the finances
nd morals of our young men , and tempt
ven the school boy from the path of
ectitude ?
