SENATOR VAN WYCIC is a winning
card for the Bee , and its editor is tak

NORTHWEST NEBRASKA is kicking

building. That" section wants to be

THE editor of the AlcCook Tribune in

alluding to a scandal which was lately
ff the general topic of discussion there ,
speaks in a tone that is as manly and

THE bill establishing the office of
state veterinary surgeon , provides that
that learned cow-doctor shall receive
$2500 per annum and all expenses , and
the Governor is over-run with applications -

SHALL England long continue her
Soudan war , the line of promotion will

4. THE Holdridge Republican 'is nov\
under the control of M. L. Thomas
formerly of Red Cloud. As naturally
as dogs return to their vomif. do editors
return to their first-love. Excuse the

divorces a journalist from the profession
to which he is wedded.
WE'D like to know if the battle o
Shebacat , just reported from Africa , can
have any connection with the house ca
of the queen of Sheba , whose home was
s somewhere iu that neighborhood , at leas
according to the mystical story handc (
down concerning. The accounts of the
battle state that after several hours oi
desperate fighting eight men were killed
and there is nothing in the histor } ' o
civilized warfare so much resembling
the combats of cats. An accomplishet
oriental scholar ought to have little diffi
culty in tracing Shebacatback to ihe cai
. of Sheba. Topic.

been indicted for perjury already , and
one has confessed that he did swear tea

for him except through a rotten jury

A WASHINGTON lady being a ked
why the latter receptions of President
& Arthur are so thinly attended replied ,
"Rats , rats. " Washington society seems
to be composed principally of rats , and
consequently hastens to abandon'the
sinking ship of the officer about to re
turn to private life. It is said that
when Keif er-was speaker the receptions
of his wife were more crowded than any
other in the'city , but now she walks the
avenues unnoticed , all her old callers
having apparently forgotten her exist
ence. 'But it is for such shoddy great
ness that the rural politician and his
wife struggle. Journal.
THE disastrous floods of 1882 threat

There is a possibility of something of
the kind iu this section , as the ice is
unusually thick and the spring season
will probably open suddenly. Ece on the
Platte at Fremont is five feet thick , and
indeed scarcely any water is running.
"When the snow in the mountains melt
and the floods come down then * will no
doubt be high water , with a sweeping
out of bridges. Just now Illinois seems

BONDYILLE BLASTS.
Thinking that perhaps your many
readers had concluded that the "city on
t " "
a'hill" portrayed in the "long ago" by
"Mother's Son" was a city of the past ,
we beg the privilege of informing them
that , though "Mother's Son" is no more ,
Bondville still lives and flourishes. We
are all looking with longing eyes for the
coming of spring. Wild geese are be
coming quite numerous , and it seems
that winter can not last always.
Mr. Hibbert's family have moved iu
to Indianola.
The Billings Bros , are the owners of
two "spanking" teams. They purpose
to turn over the virgin soil in good earn
est this season.
Our "Nasby" says , if you find any
hungry Democrat hunting for a "vacant
chair , " send him around ; if he is hun
gry enough , perhaps , he can satisfy him.
Cattle have passed through the winter
remarkably well ; with less loss than
usual , we think , though the winter has
been so severe. This is owing to the
large amount of hay put up and sheds
made to protect them from the wintry
blasts ; and we opine that from this our
farmers and stockmen will take better
care of their stock than in years past.
Alex. Jones is hauling wheat to Cam
bridge. Gets 50c. per bushp.l. We hope
the citizens of JftOook will procure the
establishment of a mill , this summer ,
so that our farmers will have a nearer
market for their grain. If McCook
could have had all the grain that has
been hauled to Cambridge and other
points in the past two years , even from
the south side of the river , it would
have added a great deal to the growth
of the "Magic City. "
We understand that the people east
of here on School -and Beaver creeks
are about to organize a Grjinge , and-put
in a store at Indianola. This is a move
in the right direction , and say what they
may about Grange organizations , stores ,
etc. , being of no benefit to the farmers ,
we know by experience that the con
trary is the case : and we are confident
that if a Grange store is put in at Indi-
anola the 'farmers of this county wil
derive a great benefit from it.

took up land one mile from this place
during the early winter.
Hayes Centre boasts of two buildings.
The town is located upon a goodly hill
and a house cannot hide upon it. We
learn from one of the town site men that ,
owing to the great depth to water , the
company contemplated digging a well
in the Little Blackwood about three-
fouths of a mile from the town site.
The draft for the Court House at La-
Forest can be seen at the clerk's office.
Preparations are being made to complete
