Promptness at meals is a virtue of
which absence has caused deep anguish
of spirit to countless long suffering
housewives. The tardiness at breakfast
from indulgence in a last nap , or at
luncheon from a too protracted shopping
expedition , or at dinner from an overex
tended round of calls , may seem a trifle
to the delinquent , but Harper's Bazar
reminds sinners in this respect that to
the housekeeper it means injury to the
food and disturbance of her own peace
of mind. The habit of always being
ready when a meal is announced should
be especially binding upon a guest. For
one who is receiving the hospitality of a
home , to requite it by disregarding its
customs is the extreme of ill breeding.
Conformity to the rules of the house in
this respect , should be observed by all
visitors , while the duty of being always
ready on time when invited to take a
drive or to go to some entertainment
would seem too obvious to be mention
ed were it not that one sees this unwrit
ten law so constantly violated. .

The county fairs held in Nebraska
this year have awakened great interest
and have been attended by many thou
sands of people. The reports indicate
that the exhibits have been unusually
large and excellent. Ihe friendly ri

these annual exhibitions has a whole
some effect in stimulating them to re
newed endeavors to improve the pro
ducts of their lands and increase their
variety , while a valuable educational in
fluence is exerted by intercourse and in
terchange of ideas. The county fair is
a useful institution in many ways and
deserves encouragement.

J. ALBEUT WELLS.
As per announcement nn last Friday
and Saturday , the magnificent store of
J. Albert Wells was thrown open to
the public for the purpose of giving an
opportunity to all to inspect his large
and superb stock of dry goods , carpets ,
millinery , etc. Mr. Wells in his dis
play in all departments exceeded all
previous flbrts as to richness and se
lection and quantity.
In dry goods , carpets and kindred
lines the variety and excellence of the
lavish display was marvelous and elicit
ed many wotds of praise. It shows
substantially that Mr. Wells has been
open-handed as well as discriminating
in his purchases in this line.
In the millinery department the effective -
fective work of Miss Cory in the east
ern markets was conspicuous in the
richness , variety and tastefulness of the
exhibition. The profusion and splendor
of "loves of bonnets" and a multitude
of other dainty and useful things is be-
end the ability of the reporter to ful-
y describe.
The dress-making department over
hich Mrs. Lewis presides with acknow-
idged ability was represented splendid-
in the form of several elegant produc-
ions of the dress-making art , which
vere thoroughly admired.
On Saturday evening Prof. Reizen-
tein's orchestra added a delightful ele-
nent to an occasion which has never
) een excelled in the history of McCook.
L. LOWMAN & SON.
The autumn opening of this well and
favorably known firm was held on Mon
day , when their large establishment was
arrayed in gala attire for the reception
of their numerous friends and patrons.
Anticipating a brisk business , this fall ,
their purchases embraced a larger and
finer and more carefully selected stock
in all departments than usual. It was
superb throughout and a credit to the
good taste and judgment of the buyers.
Their dry goods department was re
plete with stylish and fashionable arti
cles. The extent of their display in
this icspect doubtless exceeded all pre
vious efforts , in quantity and in varied
elegance. It was highly creditable.
In the millinery department there
were everywhere evidences of the tastefulness -
fulness of Miss Walsh , the new head of
this department , in a profusion of hand
somely trimmed hats , and other charm
ing things belonging to that line , al
showing artistic conception and carefu
workmanship.
Perhaps Miss Rowell's department
dress-making never appeared to better
advantage. A number of elegant crea
tions of the dress-maker's art were on
exhibition , accentuating the skill anc
rare taste of Miss Rowell and the effi
ciency of her assistants. There were
many warm words nf praise.
As is their custom each visitor carried
away a pretty souvenir of the occasion
a neat cup.

TO RAISE WINTER WHEAT.
The Experiment Station to Make a
Distribution of Seeds.
LINCOLN , Sept. 19 , 1S92. To the
Farmers of Nebraska : The state experi
ment station has determined to make a
distribution of seed winter wheat com
posing of thn following varieties , viz :
Extra early red , Hickman , Landreth's
white , Tuscan island red and ironclad.
The distribution will be made in quanti-
ies of twenty pounds each , and will be
delivered to the express office in the
city of Lincoln , neatly sacked , free of
charge. The receiver must pay the
charges from that point , which is the
only expense to him.
The wheat will be sent out in the or
der of reception of orders until all is
gone ; it is hoped , however , that packages
will reach nearly all counties in the
state , as we are prepared to send out
about 750 packages. No person can
receive more than one package.
In order to facilitate the distribution ,
which is unavoidably a little late , we
ask the newspapers of the state give as
wide publicity to this as convenient at
once for the benefit of their readers.
The wheats named were sown late
last fall ( October 1 to 5) ) and have
with one exception , the ironclad , made
an average of forty bushels to the acre.
Very respectfully ,
C. L. INQERSOLL.
Professor of Agricultural University of
Nebraska.

Main's Show.
Saturday was a great day for Seneca ,
for on that day the great consolidated
shows of Walter L. Main pitched their
tents and gave two performances that
elicited the most enthusiastic applause.
It was the best show that has visited Se
neca for years , and the best part of all
was the fact that there was not the us
ual accompaniment of fakirs , dead-beats
and gamblers. Such things are not al
lowed by Mr. Main. The procession
took place during a heavy shower , which
prohibited the use of the handsome cos
tumes worn on such ocassions. The
exhibitions were grand , and were apprec
iated by immense crowds. Every fea
ture advertised was produced , and when
Walter L. Main comes this way again
he will have to bring along larger tents
to accommodate the people. Seneca
