substantiality about the matter that is
gratifying.

MRS. CIIAS. NOBLE , Pres.
It may be of interest to some to know
that , under recent rulings of the Sec-
retarr of the Interior , unless payment
"s tendered when proof is offered , local
officials must reject the proof. Under
this ruling proofs cannot be held any
length of time , as has been done in the
past.

aids for the construction of sidewalks

The accumulation of this world's

an overweening tendency , in many in

planting of nobler emotions by the bas

GREAT REDUCTION 1n Heating

- On January 1st , 1885 , a penalty of
5per cent , will be dded to all unpaid
taxes of the year 1S84 , and interest
computed at 10 per cent , per annum
after said date. The Treasurer is or
dered to levy and collect the same after
January 1st , 18S5.

The recent discharging of two freight
conductors on this division by Supt.
Campbell clearly indicates the senti
ment of the B. & M. on two questions ,
namely , drinking and card playing.
Young men who engage in either sooner
or later are exposed and their discharge
is summary. The justice of such a
course of action commends itself to all.
Crete Nurseries paid Twelve Thous
and Dollars for labor in 1884 , and have

Teamsters came over from Ludell ,
Rawlins county , Kansas , Wednesday
evening , after a cav-load of lumber ,
with which it is proposed to build a two-
story building in that new town , one
story being designed far a skating rink
and dance hall , and the other for some
other business venture. Verily , Ludell
is putting on the agony for an infant
in swaddling clothes.
Two young men , Ormbs and Dunbar
by name , succeeded admirably in mak
ing fools of themselves and endanger
ing the lives and limbs of pedestrians
along that thoroughfare , Monday even
ing , about dusk , by their mad riding
through Dennison street. We arc ad
vised that it was not the original pur
pose to have any of the streets of this
town converted into a race course , and
this fast and reckless riding must be
stopped.
An accident occurred at the depot ,
Saturday , that might have been more
serious in its results. A commercial
man's trunk was being taken from the
baggage car in the usual , artistic style
of the baggage smasher , and upon the
trunk reaching the platform , a revolver
in the same was discharged , the bullet
passing thruogh the roof of the baggage
car in very close proximity to the mes
senger's head. We won't draw the mor
al , although it may be a matter of sal
vation to one of the b. s. fraternity
The census of our town taken last
week by Frank Galarneau indicates that
the population of our two-year-old
Magic City is almost 1,200 , or in exact
figures. 1,177. Adults , 472 , and under
21 years of age , 705. Few , if any ,
towns in the State of Nebraska of the
age of McCook can boast of such a
population. We can , without exhibit
ing any vanity , claim to have the most
phenomenal little city in this part of
the west. And McCook moves right
along in the van of the procession.
While the material is hot , we would
suggest to our people the urgent neces
sity that exists for their keeping their
premises clear of old buildings and deb
ris. Ilau it not been for that miserable
old dug-out , Monday night's fire would
not , in all probability , have occurred.
When one looks around through some
localiles in our town , and sees the straw ,
paper , hay and other inflammable ma
terials lying around in the rear of build
ings , frequently close to ash piles , he is
led to wonder why so few fices occur.
See to these things at once. In the ab
sence of a fire department , suoh pre
cautionary measures may be valuable.
The pleasant residence recently com
pleted by Geo. P. Weick in the south
ern part of town , burned to the ground ,
Monday night , while the most of our
citizens slept. The fire was occasioned
b } ' a paity living in a dug-out immedi
ately west of the house , leaving his
quarters and failing to extinguish his
candle , which burning low , set the table
a fire upon which it was standing , and
communicated from the dug-out to Mr.
Weick's residence , which was discov
ered to be on Jire about 11:30. : Every
thing in the house was saved , but on
account of the lack of water and assist
ance little or nothing could be done to
ward extinguishing the fiauies. Adjoin
ing property was saved by the efforts of
those present. The loss , amounting to
between $1.200 and $1,500 , is a very se
vere one to Mr. Weick , who has the sym
pathy of all in his loss. The house was
fortunately insured for § 900 in the Phe-
nix. This amount will go far toward
making lighter Mr , Weick's loss.

EVERY man ought to be willing.to

that their lives are burdens is utterly
heartless. Robert G. Ingersoll.
