MCcCook has been very fortunate in her skating rink experience , so far no accidents and an immense amount of enjoyment has been the older of things. The costs in the case of the village vs. Geromp , the dude , a case of which our people are still conversant , amount to $60. CO. Bather to much fun ibr a nickle. We call attention to the communica tion of our new principal appearing in this issue. Apropos , more attention , by parents , should be given to educational matters. The "Star of Bethlehem" may bp seen very earl } these mornings in the east ern sky. It will shortly disappear , to return again after the expiration of four hundred years. f llev. Hall , the new M.

Sunday- School at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. i There is every promise of an enjoy able time at the rink , to-morrow evening. A gentleman from Cambridge bought a dozen pair of skates from the Palace boys , Saturday. Soon the denizens of that burg will be cutting a dash , etc. j We are happy to note a slight change I for the bettei in Mrs. G. W. Daniel's condition. The doctor in charge thinks | that , barring accidents and further com plications , she will recover. And this is the hope of many friends. No inconsiderable number of frozen feet , hands , ears , nosus and cheeks are reported as a result of the flirtations of the mercury about zero. No more of ' such fickleness we pray , this season. The ice that the B. & M. is storing at this point and Red Cloud is being cut at Cambridge , by the Thompson broth ers. The Medicine affords excellent ice , as well as some pretty tough customers. We have had occasion to judge of both. The desirable residence lot on the corner of Dodge and Marshall streets has been purchased by J. A. Wilcox , $450 being the price paid. Senator Dolan was the former owner. The loca tion is one of the most desirable in McCook.

Olcott's father-in-law brought a handsome full-blooded Hamiltonian and Mambrino stallion out from Illinois , Christmas day. The animtl is a fine specimen of that magnificent breed of horses , and will be an acquisition to the blooded stock of this county. The Village authorities have com menced the erection of sidewalks along Main Avenue , belonging to non-resident owners. The walks will be built at con tract figures and the amount taxed up to the lot. Men were at work on the pavement in front of J. Beaver's Wed nesday. Dr. Kay was called out to Benkelman , Friday night , and reports sickness , es pecially fevers , as being very prevalent in that burg , and accommodations as be ing rather limited , the hotel as crowded. The doctor occupied the soft side of a slab in the station house until No. 2 in the morning. Everybody should niake it a point to sign the petition for a mail route be twcen Oberlin and McCook. The peti tion may be found in the postoffice and be easily signed by all when in quest of their mail. A large petition , embrac ing all interested , has been prepared by the Oberlin friends , and'we ought not fail to carry our end. We have just received a car loadof , that Grand Island Flour that has been such a great favorite with the people of McCook , and we are selling it at a sweeping reduction of 50. cents pt-r hundred on all grades. We have also reduced the price on bread , and we now give four loaves for 25 cents. Pies , 10 cents a m'ece. PROBST BROS. E. C. Bellow will leave for Indianola , this week , where he will take a position in the county clerk's office. Mr. Bellew has been assisting Geo. Dodd in the ab stract office for a few months past , and during his short residence in this city has made for himself many warm friends who will regret to learn of his intention to leave Red Cloud for other fields. Red Cloud Argus. D. Fuiks of Hastings was hi town , Tuesday , looking aft < jr a location for si merchant tailoring establishment. He was agreeably surprised and impressed with McCook. and has decided to locate in our midst. He has rented the vacant building on West Dennison street , op posite. Wilcox Bros. ' store , and will re turn about the first of next month with a stock of clothing _ , cloths , etc. Northwest Kansas has just experi- eiu-ed the longest scige of continuous cold weather in its history. Fourteen days of irost , snow and wind , with a teui- p'erature uncomfortably near zero. Oberlin Herald. The same may apply to Southwestern Nebraska with equal force. The continuous severity of the weather of the past few weeks is without prece dent , not so much by reason of its sever ity , but because of the length of the ' 'spell. " Oh these men I These men I These wcnk and wavering : , witless things , They cnnnot net or move without us ; Who If we do not pull the strings , The senseless puppets scorn and ( lout us ; 'Tls claimed by man the world is ruled , That he's the noblest of things humau : But each nnd nil are still befooled And ruled also by lovely woman. Song from Glrotle-Glroflu. The railroad boys will hold their de ferred dance on Thursday evening , the 15th inst , without fail. Both Senator Dolan and Representa tive Hocknell responded to the roll call at the opening of the Legislature , Tuesday. The Palace Skating Rink manage ment are making arrangements for hav ing a grand mask carnival at their rink , Friday evening. Sc * adv. elsewhere. We don't know of a better pleased man in town than Dr. Kay. There is a smile of sublime satisfaction on the doctor's countenance as he handles the ribbons behind that high stepper , at tached to the new buggy. The stockmen of Southwestern Neb raska should take steps to form a more complete stock association than they now have. Less log-rolling and more business , and our stockmen would not be dancing to Colorado music. The proprietors of the Palace Skat ing rink have purchased Mr. Bragg's skates , Mr. Bragg discontinuing the busi ness , lie informs us that he will engage - gage in the agricultural implement busi ness in the spring in the skating rink building. Prof. Arnold's Sun Pictures were en joyed most heartily by the people of McCook , and each evening showed a larger audience and more interest than ! fhe preceding. These exhibitions and j | lectures contain a fund of information ' that make them at once interesting and instructive. A petition for a sidewalk from the corner of John Farley's meat market , along the south side of Dennison street [ to McDowell street , has'been filed with the village clerk and will be acted upon , to-night. The proposed sidewalk will be a great convenience to our West Dennison street people. The people of the Republican Valley have much to be thankful for. The past season has been a successful one , and now , while bubiness seems to be stagnant at all points and business cen ters east and west , here we are enjoying a reasonable amount of prosperity and plenty , although capital is rather coy and difficult to get one's hands on. Col. Cramer's new residence received i close call from fire Monday evening. [ t seems that a fire had been built in the fire-place of one of the upper rooms , aud that through a defect in the con struction under the hearth , a joist was set on fire. When discovered the fire lad progressed about fifteen feet across the room and was getting under good .lead way. Fortunately it was discover ed at this stage and the Col. sent for. Several gentleman happened to be at the court house and hastened with Mr. Cramer to put the fire out. As it was the damage will be about twenty-five dollars. Courier. The Fabrr hopes the cursed traffic in intoxicating liquors may never be open ed in Stockville or Frontier county. With the present board of county com missioners handling the. reins , the blas ting , withering curse can never gain a legal foothold and we have abundant ev idence that the sentiment of the com munity is strongly against it. Keep out the rum power aud we keep out the most deadly weapon of Satan. Frontier County Faber. You have the drop on iis Satanic majesty.Brother Powers , and the only safety for your people is to keep it , and never legally permit the serpent to draw its slimy length through your peaceful community. We re-produce the following from the Courier. It is not precisely the account given us by an Ind'anola gentleman , but that is immaterial , and the moral is just as apparent : Last Friday morning Mr. Henry Baxter , the well known tobacconist , feeling : unwell , step ped into Purduui's drugstore to obtain some medicine. It seems that on the night previous George had been putting up some horse medi cine and left a small vial of aconite standing on the base shelf. Not noticing the difference Mr. Baxter picked up the vial of aconite and proceeded to take a dose. Me had scarcely done so before Mr. Purdum noticed the mis take , and realizing the danger informed Mr. Baxter of the situation. All haste was made to produce vomiting and Dr. Shaw was sent for. The stomach pump was freely used , but all effort seemed of no avail for some time , as convulsion after convulsion succeeded each other in rapid succession. Yet the doctor la bored and after a time succeeded in getting the patient under control , and hope again re turned. By night Mr. Baxter was somewhat better , and Monday morning found him able to resume his business with but the inconven ience of a sore throat. PERSONAL POINTERS. J. W. Maikcn and Col.

Leech of McCook , a former newspaper man , but now dealing in loans and land and hiw , is in the city and will watch the course of legislation for a ; time. Journal. County Clerk Perry of Culbertson spent a short time at these headquarters , Tuesday. Mr. Perry is a pleasant gen tleman of modest demeanor , that makes him many friends. J. B.

Frees & Hocknell have replaced their old scales with new Fairbank's scales. 1 McCook Public School. The winter term of the McCook pub lic school opened with a good attendance , on Monday , January fth , notwithstand ing the fact that an uncertainty was quite prevalent ap to whether the term would open on that day , or a week i later. We 'respectfully suggest that parents send their pupils promptly and regularly in order that they may become thoroughly interested in their studies , and the highest degree of enthusiasm be maintained. It shall be our aim to conduct the school in such a manner as that pupils will consider it a pleasure to attend and that an absence will be a loss. The erection of our school build ing speaks well for the public spirit of the citizens of McCook , but it will soon prove inadequate to our wants , as more room will have to be provided in the near future to accommodate the rapidly increasing attendance. We are nego tiating for a series of lectures , elocu tionary entertainments , etc. , the pro ceeds of which will be devoted to the purchase of an organ , library , litholog- ioal cabinet , and chemical and philo sophical apparatus. The patronage ot the public is respectfully solicited. Trusting that we may have a pleasant and prosperous term , 1 remain , Very respectfully , W. S. WEBSTER. Principal. Trustees Blurting.

On motion adjourned to meet January 8th , 1885. January 5th , 1885. Dr. E. E. Higbee says : "Children can not be allowed the same liberties at school that they have at home , school rooms should be large enough to com fortably seat the pupils ; the lives of the little ones should not be imperiled by sitting near a hot stove and then going out in the cold while perspiring ; the State means that the pupils must be protected ; a thermometer is a necessary adjunct to school rooms ; teachers should possess a knowledge of anatomy aud hygiene , and use it. THE latest argument in favor of the use of the weed comes from the N. Y. Tribune. The story runs on" to the effect that a sailor , who was swallowed by a sperm whale , by chance had a plug of tobacco in his pocket , which so nausea ted the whale , that the jolly tar was im mediately ejected. THE New York Times arraigns the tobacconists for thp immodest and inde cent prints they are circulating around among the trade. Shall the Times de vote a little space to the manufacturers of barb wire on the same score , that journal will richly merit the thanks of the public. The Burlington road has suspended the sale ol mileage ticket to coinmerci.il travellers , but will this year issue a per mit to such , allowing a rebate when 1 , 000 miles have been traveled. "Regular local rates will be exacted and the ex cess refunded upon application to head quarters. LEFT 110MK. On or about September 8th , 1884 , a young man by the name of William .Newcomb.
