Quito an addition is being built to her Madison Avenue dwelling by Mrs. Nellie Johnson , tlfis week. It will add greatly to the comfort and convenience of her home. "Kesurgam , " says Col. Colfer , is the ma chine shops' motto. By liberal translation the colonel thinks the motto may be cou- strued into English as , " 1 shall return again. " Work on a dwelling house for U. J. War ren was commenced , this week , by Contrac tor McAdams , who is also building another residence in same part of town-tlie north western part. The second hand store has been purchas ed , by Mr. J.

" Since the splendid , soaking rains of the early part of the week , a search warrant dili- gently * served cannot discover one of those dry weather croakers who erstwhile held . forth. They are with their less faithless husbandmen J , in the field preparing the soil for i the seed Just how the regular feast days named in the calendar move in the days when they oc- cur from year to year is curious aswell as in teresting | to note. Last year Shrove Tuesday occurred on the 14th of February ; this year it comes on the 15th of March. This year Asli \ Wednesday , or Lent , occurs on the Cth of March ; last year on the 15th of February. Palm Sunday last year was March 25 ; this year April 14. Easter this year , April21 ; last year , April 1. Whit Sunday last year was May 20 ; this year it will come June 9. This week , Mr. August Droll , lately arriv ed from Loda , 111. , purchased the Steve Ryan place , just north of the city. The sale in- eluded the farm implements , stock , etc. , and Mr. Droll is now in possession. We under- stand the consideration to be $ S,000. The farm is located near the city and is constant- ly increasing in value with thegrowth of Mc Cook. Mr. Droll has already invested many thousands of dollars in realty in this vicinity , and with his fine blooded stock will make a most valuable citizen to Western Nebraska. Besides the progressive whist , pedro and euchre parties , westein society has adopted a novel form of entertainment and chrktenpd it "spider web" party. The card of invitation bears a tiny painted web in one comer with the inevitable struggle fly. On the arrival of the guest he is given a cord , which is attach ed to a small nail in the dressing room. He is then expected to find the other end , which is concealed under some articles of furniture , and to which is fastened a favor. The un- tangling of the string is said to be no triffling matter , an hour often being consumed in the task. task.Hello Hello I Ton farmer. Did you save your seed corn last fall ? Have j ou got your grain marketed , your plow sharpened , your harrow in shape , your manure hauled out , your fences repaired , your corn stalks broken , you r milling done , your seed wheat and seed oats cleaned , your harness mended and your horses fat ? If you have , you are ready for spring , if not , you had better hustle yourself. Have everything ready to go to work when ' the ground thaws out. Then get your small grain in the ground and not on top. Plow yonr com ground deep and plant your com the first week in May , not the first week in June , that's too late. Never cultivate your corn less than three times over. Five times is better than less. The key to success in farming is to have good seed , plow and plant early and deep , get ahead by getting ready , stay ahead by early rising and staying with the work , not on the road to and from town and in town. Make your credit good and keep it good by a strict attention to your busi ness. Follow the above advise and we vent ure the assertion that you will respect your self , you will win the respect of your neigh bors , and your success will command the re spect of business men and the world at large. 1 Our New Plan. We , the physicians of McCook , have been foro" to adopt a kkw plan with regard to our collections for the following reasons : 1. < Yo have found it impossible to collect mora than a small portion of our accounts. 2. vfo have repeatedly found ttiat our bills have been "left until the last , " and we have thus frequently been compelled to borrow money from the banks to pay our running expenses. 3. This has been carried to such and ox- tent that we are forced to stop practice un less our patrons appreciate our services in a more substantial manner. For the forgoing reasons be it hereby Resolved , That hereafter we will do strictly a cash practice , and whenever any one of our patrons becomes delinquent , he shall be notified , and unless satisfactory set tlement be made within thirty days thereaf ter , he shall bo put upon the delinquent list. Resolved , That all accounts now on our books shall become delinquent , on Feb. 20 , 18S9 , unless satisfactorily settled before that date. date.Resolved Resolved , That we mutually pledge our selves to refuse to answer all calls from those found on the delinquent list L.

There has been a very decided change for the better within the past two days in the condition of Congressman Laird , and the fears that his recovery would not be speedy are no longer ' entertained. Dr. Sower , his physician , who has been in constant attendance on Mr. Laird , said this morning : "Mr. Laird is on the road to recovery , and there is no good rea- son to believe that he will not have a rapid | convalescence. His trouble has been one largely of non-assimilation of food. Thi3 na turally \ had a very depressing effect upon his system , and bis depression of spirits and bodi ly 1 weakuess have been the natural results. * During ] tho past two days there has been a great improvement manifested in his case , and I see no reason to doubt that he will fully recover long before tho opening of tho. next session of congress. All that he needs now is a ! little rest and quiet and freedom from the harrossments of ofllce-seekers. The rumors , which I understand have been spread through out Nebraska , that Mr. Laird has been suffer ing from threatened softening of the brain , are absolutely without foundation. There is not , nor has there ever been , in my judgmeot , any S3'mptoms of mental trouble , aside from the natural effect of his chronic dyspepsia , Ho is today in better spirits than he has been for months , and I consider him on the high road to recovery. " A friend of Mr. Laird to night said that he had been much hurt by the reports in the western papers that his case was a hopeless one and that he would not be able to attend to the business of his district. Mr. Laird , he said , will within a few weeks be able to attend to all questions of appoint ments in person. He has already been in fre- qucnt consultation with the members of the < Nebraska delegation , and lias expressed his views and been fully consulted as to the policy to be adopted in thedistribution of patronage. It is only now important that he should be al lowed a little rest before taking np again the burden of patronage and daily busiuess. Wednesday's Bee. Keep Pushing. The spring wilt witness thousands of new settlers come into Nebraska. They are com ing from all parts of the east , from the north and from the south. They expect to make ' their future homes in agricultural Nebraska ' one of the best states in the union. Kansas { has her drouthsDakota her blizzards Nebras ka her equable climate , her sunshiue and her prolific soil. All these things induce the farm1 1 er to come to our state. And as the state in creases in population the commercial interests of McCook are accordingly enhanced. For this reason The Tkibuke shall continue to urge upon every individual citizen Jhe neces sity of upbuilding fhe city. We need whole sale establishments ; manufacturing enter prises ; more enterprising and progressive citizens. Wben these come there is a demand for mechanics and more laboring men to oper ate and place in motion the wheels of machin ery and to assist iu building the houses. And this spring is the time to start anew the wheels of progress which have caused McCook to grow from an unpretentious village to a promisirg little city of busy life. Let the citizens push their town and call to the atten tion of tne man who desires to locate all of our adrantages. Every man of us must be loyal aud alert and the result is not to be questioned.

Akron . Pioneer Press. : : LINCOLN LETTER. Attorney Morlan was a Capitol visitor , on Thursday , the " 1st inst. Miss Ashmoro came in from McCook , Monj day , and is employed In legislative work. Supt. A. Campbell and Hon. Geo. Hocknell wero visible to the naked eye , about tho Capi tol , on Wednesday. The "gentleman from Jefferson , " Mr. Baker , is losing tho influence that characterized tho early part of his legislative career. While ho persistently denies any coalition with tho lob j by , his vote always agrees with that much de tested adjunct to the legislative body. Members of the legislature who have never , Bald a word nor entertained an idea before , have suddenly developed "Patrick Henry" proclivities , upon the appearance of the ap propriation bill. While it is perfectly legiti mate for a member to make a iiecokd , it is also quite evident that his constituency would , have been better pleased had he shaken off his lethargy , and shown that he was present be fore the end of the chapter. H. R. 77 , the Australian ballot bill , which passed i the House after a prolonged and hotly coutested struggle , met its death in the Senate , by 'indefinite postponement. ' This was one of tho ( best , if not the best , bills introduced in the Legislature during the session , and the Senate j hasexhibited exceedingly deficient judgment in j defeating it. Never has there been a law that , would more completely prevent fraud , than H. R. 77 would havo done , had it been enacted. ( Electors who desire an "honest and , fair count , " would do well to remember the gentlemen who cast their vote against this measure. Sivaut. * ELECTION NOTIGE.
