they are painfully severe , and may leave
marks which the little sufferer may carry
through life. She is resting comfortably
and progressing favorably.

The Burlington fast mail train , No. 9 ,
ran the distance of fifty-five miles from
Plattsmouth to Lincoln in fifty-four
minutes , last Friday evening. The Un
ion Pacific east-bound fast mail on
Thursday , ran the distance from Grand
Island to Omaha , 154 miles , in 150 min
utes. It was a lighter train than the
Burlington pulled on its fast run. Sun
day's Lincoln Journal.
The revised book of rules about to be
issued by the Burlington contains two
rules which will be new to the employes ,
although it has been understood for
years that while these rules were not
published in the book they were effective
just the same. They follow :
"Use of intoxicants by employes while
on duty is prohibited. Their habitual
use or the frequenting of saloons where
they are sold is sufficient cause for dis
missal.
"The use of tobacco by employes in
or about station buildings or on passen
ger cars is prohibited. "
It is said in Chicago that the Burling
ton system has placed enormously large
orders for steel , and that the contracts
call for early delivery of a part of the
amount ordered. Parts of these con
tracts were undoubtedly made by the
company for steel for the Toluca-Cody
City branch , it having already been an
nounced that the company will lay steel
on the grade now being built at an early
date , probably as soon as warm weather
comes in the spring. The "Q" will use
a great amount of steel in double-track
ing and rebuilding its Iowa lines , and
some repair work may be expected on
lines west of the river. It is believed by
many that grading and track laying will
begin on a portion of the line to be run
west of Guernsey in the early spring.
Is Making New Contracts.
The American Beet Sugar Co. is mak
ing its new contracts for beets for the
coming year , and it is asserted on good
authority that the new contracts are the
best ever made by the company , being
much better and more favorable to the
beet-raisers than those of past years , and
especially offering inducements to those
farmers who will make the effort to pro
duce superior beets.
A price of $4 straight is to be paid for
any and all useable beets up to those
containing 14 per cent of sugar. In the
past a scale has been made with 12 per
cent sugar and a coefficient of So as a
limit. Any beets , however , under the
new scale will bring $4 a ton , unless
they contain more than 14 per cent
sugar. lu that event 25 cents per ton is
paid for every per cent over 14. And
provision is made also that the raiser
will get the benefit of any increase be
tween 14 and 15. For instance , should
his beets test only 14.1 per cent of sugar ,
he would receive one-teenth of the ad
vance , or 4.02 per ton. Should he have
beets testing 12 per cent , he would re
ceive $4.25 and an additional 124 cents
or $4-37 -
This new contract should encourage
those of this neighborhood who experi
mented , last season , to greatly increase
their acreage , ngxl year. This is an in
dustry that should be encouraged in this
section of Nebraska , as the results of the
experiments made , the past season , show
that the beet sugar crop is a profitable
one , and that it can be raised success
fully in the Republican valley.
Entertained Us Superbly.
The Boston Ladies' Symphony orches
tra appeared before a packed audience
at the Menard opera-house , last Satur-
urday evening , under auspices of the
McCook public schools , and it is putting
it strictly within the real of fact when
we state that a McCook audience has
never sat under such a wealth of tune
ful harmonious well-balanced well-ex
, , - , -
pressed .inspiring music before ; through
out the entire programme the large and
warmly enthusiastic audience simply re
veled in the rare carnival of rich music
evolved from the various instruments by
the several artists of the orchestra.
Every number was loudly encored , and
the various soloists were in each instance
recalled by a storm of hearty applause.
While it was a large undertaking to
secure such numerous array of high-
class artists , it is a satisfaction and a
pleasure to note that the schools fared
very well from a financial stand-point ,
besides affording the people of McCook
an unprecedented musical opportunity ;
upon both of which facts we warmly
felicitate all concerned.
Notice.
After this date , I intend doing a cash
business. If you don't relish paying for
services rendered , kindly take your pat
ronage elsewhere.
Office work must be paid for at the
time services are rendered , and bills for
outside work will be presented on the
ist and isth of the month , where account
is not paid before.
If you are one of the kind who can't
stand being presented with a just state
ment of account , kindly refrain from
asking for my services.
This is simply a business proposition
and includes every one who wishes to
patronize me in the future.
Deserving charity cases will be treated
as such , without charge.
