Let every land owner and homestead
er break at least ten acres on his land ,
this year , and a great increase in re
tained moisture and consequent better
crops will be his reward. The larger
the acreage of buffalo grass turned un

use the plow extensively.

Burn your waste paper instead of
sending it adrift on the streets. Pro
vide , if possible , some better place for
waste waiter , tin cans , etc. , than the
alley or back part of your lot. To be
sure , we will miss the perfumes of ori
ental sweetness , but it won't injure the
appearance of our town irreparably.
The influx of people continues un
abated , and is becoming greater as the
season advances. For the past two
weeks McCook has been crowded with
people seeking land and town property ,
and many have come to move on land
upon which they put papers during the
winter. Our land officers have more
work on hand than they can attend to.
A most enjoyable card party was

up rapidly. Mr. Braugh has one of the
largest herds on the Willow , and being
all range cattle , his loss has been re
markably small. Out of 2,000 head he
fed but 20 during the winter.
We have readers in all sections of
Red Willow county , and numbers in
Hitchcock , Frontier , Dundy and Hayes ,
and as we cannot be omnipresent , will
of necessity be compelled to rely upon

and localities keeping us posted as to
the neighborhood news. So , don't be
backward in giving us whatever news of
importance transpires in your section.
As full particulars of the storm which
struck Decatur on Monday of last week
come in , it is evident that it was the
most destructive cyclone that has ever
visited that section. Houses , barns ,
corrals , etc. . were blown out of exist
ence , a number of people more or less
injured , and some well nigh miraculous
escapes are chronicled. The storm is de
scribed as having been grandly terrific
doubtless more terrific than grand.
S. Hoge of Knoxville , Iowa , arrived
in McCook. last week. He cemes bear
ing very flattering recommendations
from responsible parties in Knoxville ,
both as to his character as a man , and
his ability and responsibility as a con
tractor and superintendent of construc
tion , and he desires those contemplat
ing building to give him a call. He
will guarantee the work done in a work
man like manner.
The Council at their last meeting
instructed the Chairman to perfect ar
rangements for providing a pound and
having the ordinance regulating animals
running at large enforced. A large and
substantial enclosure has been put up ,
and Mr. Olcott intends to discharge his
duties of pound master impartially ,
without fear or favor. And now let us
give the boys a pointer : For every
horse , mule , cow , oxen , sheep , goat or
pig you take to Mr. Olcott he will give
you twenty-five cents.

The Plunkett Sisters supported by
Hart & Campbell's Dramatic Company
played at Rogers' Opera House , two
nights last week. In our opinion this
is one of the best companies now on the
rpad. The first night they gave us
"Lost in London , " one of Wats Phelpa
great melodramas. The second night
they rendered one of Craven's Laugha
ble English Comedy's , "Milky White. "

Our town would look . cleaner and
more inviting to the eye , and to the nos
trils would smell far sweeter , and be
much healthier withal , if by some means
a few stench-emitting and disease-pro
ducing carcasses were removed from the
streets and alleys. We beg lief to call
this matter to the attention of the prop
er authorities , as it is certainly deserv
ing of attention as a sanitary , and pre
cautionary measure , independent of the
vast improvement a little cleaning up
would make in the appearance of the
town. "Cleanliness is akin to Godli
ness. " Let us bs clean if we kin.
When business men of a town fail to
advertise extensively , they diminish the
importance and trade of the place and
permit enterprising localities to take the
latter from them. Although done for
their individual interests advertisers
should be looked upon by citizens of the
town where they reside as in some sense
public benefactors , and they should be
encouraged accordingly. One merchant
who advertises extensively , is worth to
his town and its people more than forty
who never' show themselves in print ,
and should be , for , this reason alone
preferred , assuming of course that he
is a fair business man. '
Arrangements have been completed
for the erection of stock yards , in Mc
Cook , and the same have been located
south of the railroad track and west of
the race course. It is proposed to hold
auctions at this point on Saturday of
each week , and J. F. Wray has secured
the use of Dunbar & Olcott's yard for
that purpose. The first auction will
take place at the above mentioned yard
on Saturday of this week , as Bee notice
elsewhere in this issue. This will bring
many people to town , and be a benefit
to our business men as well as those
interested in stock. Be sure to be pres
ent at the auction next Saturday.
The many patrons of Boyer & Shaw ,
dealers in general merchandise at this
place , have been not a little surprised
at the discovery of the fact that A. E.
Alexander , their head clerk , had been
tampering with the money of the firm ,
and his summary dismissal from their
service. The news struck our commu
nity like a thunderbolt , as no had ever
dreamed that the energetic , attentive
and gentlemanly clerk was other than
perfectly honest , yet with all these qual
ifications , he , according to his own ad
missions , so far forgot himself as to
appropriate the pitiful sum of eleven
dollars paid him by a customer , and also
a five dollar bill marked and placed
where he would be apt to and did find
it. As to whether he had taken other
or further sums from the firm , they do
not know , nor would he admit that he
had wronged them further than as they
had absolute evidence against him.
Courier.
A party from York county , number
ing twenty-nine , were in McCook , Sat
urday , entering land which they had
selected in Frontier county , during a
land.hunt of some day's duration. And
a well pleased party were they. We
were pleased to meet a number of the
party , and to note their astonishment
at finding so fine a country. Among the
number was Mr. Morgan of the York
Republican , one of the early settlers of
York county. He passed up the Re
publican Valley three years ago , and
was at that time impressed with the be
lief that it was only a matter of a few
years when this valley would be teeming
with people , and he now sees a strong
move in that direction , tfe was partic
ularly surprised at finding such a "phe
nomenal town as McCook. " "No town
of its size and age in the state has such
an air of substantiality and elegance as
your town , " and other like'expressions
evidenced his surprise.

of Supt. Campbell's residence. He also
made a trade with H. C. Rider by which

A Rare Treat.
The Plunkett Sisters , decidedly -the
best dramatic company that have visited -
ed this city , appeared at McClellen's
Hall , Tuesday and Wednesday evenings ,
in the two popular plays , "Ticket of
Leave Man" and the "Serious Family. "
There are nine in this company and all
good actors. The celebrated melodrama ,
"Ticket of Leave Man , " brought out
a full house Tuesday night. The play
was excellent , and at times they kept
the audience in continuous uproarous
laughter. Their excellent entertain
ment brougt out a full house Wednesday
evening. The "Serious Family , " which
they acted that evening was the best of
all. It fairly set the audience wild.
They were to have been with us three
nights , but owing to the bad weather
Monday night it threw them out of one
night's engagement , which our public
regretted very much. Should they ever
visit us again they will be greeted with
a crowded house. Blue Hill Times.

OUR city council of saloon-kep ? ra and
their assistants imagine that they fcav
found an ordinance by which th Slo-
ouinb law may bo evaded. They propose
to harmonize with the state law requir
ing $1,000 to bo paid at once for a
license , by taking $250 when the saloon
opens , $250 after three niontkfl , $250
after six months and $250 at the cad
of nine months. At this juncture $1,000
will have been paid , and a license will
be issued. Thus our saloons will run
nine months without license. This is a
beautiful manner of beating the deril
around the bush , and if there is any
legal method of preventing it , somebody
ought to "come to the front" withHhe
method. It is more than passing strange
that the liquor interests of this city
cannot find it judicious to obey a decent
law , preferring instead by their efforts I
at lawlessness to offer a premium for
the prohibition movement that is raging : i
