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.

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.

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.

Resolved , That we mutually pledge our

:
LAIRD IMPROVING.
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

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.

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.
