The Building Association has con tracts for the erection of two more resi dences , which will be put up as soon as the weather moderates sufficiently to allow carpenters to work. We have it that Dr. J , S. Shaw will remove to McCooK again , having dis solved partnership with his brother at- Itidianoln.

To-morrow will be Longfellow's Day at the public school , and as many of the patrons of the school as possible oujiht to display their interest in tbe school and children by being present in the afternoon. " A new county has ? been organized , the same being a portion of the large unor ganized county of Sioux. The Legisla ture offers Gov. Dawes a pomp , by call ing it. Duwes county. But the Gov. ought to be satisfied with Saline. \Yc have this week executed * some neat work for B. F. Olcott , who con ducts the City Livery Stable , opposite the Colvin House. Patties wishing any thing in his line will find Ben. obliging and ready to fit them out in first-class style. NEW BANK Frees & Ilocknell are putting up a building adjoining their lumber office , the same to be used as a temporary office , while their present quarters will be occupied by the Mc- Cook Banking Co. until their contem plated brick building is completed. REAL ESTATE DEALS Hiram Bacon and sons have purchased the McPherson tract of land situated about 4 miles west of town on the valley. They pur pose improving and stocking the same. 31 r. McPhcrion also disposed of 200 acres adjoining his large track to R. H. Trowbridge. You may perceive a look of far-off , Solomonic wisdom suffusing itself over sundry and numerous countenances , these troublous times , as one and anoth er citizen dives into his inside pockets for unheard of articles. The doctors h.ve not fatis'actorily diagnosed the case , but the symptoms are very like the itch. We have just received a car load of that Grand Island Flour that has been such a great favorite with the people of MeCook , and we are selling it at a sweeping icduction of 50 cents per 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 piece. PROBST Buos. A party whose name we failed to as certain lodged a No. 22 ball from a revolver in bis hand , hist Thursday afternoon , while engaged in forcing a load into the same. The ball ( which was extracted ) came in contact nith a bone , and may yet occasion the man considerable trouble. Discretion seems to be a jewel so priceless that few have it. This community will continue to be the Mecca of many disreputable charac ters so long as the laws are so loosely ad ministered so long as evil-doers know that they can enjoy immunity from pun ishment here A Where you find the law rigidly enforced against gambling ! houses of ill-fame , and institutions of like ilk , from these places you will see ! those who engage in these unlawful' pursuits fleeing like rats from a sinking' ' vessel. * I The Chicago Comedy Co. . presented "Van , the Virginian or the Double Mar riage. " at Crawford's last night to a crowded house. This is out of Bartley Campbell's best plays , a blending of comedy and pathos true to nature. Miss Wells as "Kate Calvert" made many friends and was recalled three times. A compliment seldom given to any one by a Topeka audience. The support was exceptionally good. Daily Common wealth , Topeka , Kansas. The best paying investment we know of is a first-class hotel. The high prices demanded at the Eating House puts that house beyond the reach of any bn millionaire commercial tourists , and the remaining two hotels'a re entirely innde quate to the public necessities , whiel will be greatly enlarged this spring. Le some one take this a'first-class paying investment in hand. There is more money in it than in a score of wild-cat speculations. The Culbertson Sun is our authority for the .statement that , "Joe Braun has disposed of his. saloon and is about to retire to private life. " We have some printed stationery at this office ordered by Joe , that we will sell at a discount , Hcrr Joseph not possessing , apparently , the manhood to come and pay for the same. When tbe stationery was deliv ered , it was refused by an individual b } the name of Clyde , who does the be'ei slinging in tlic institution. By reason ( ? ) of thfc large number ol lots recently sold by the Lincoln Lain ! Co. , and the number of fine buildings that have been erected , ( thereby enhanc ing the value of adjacent lots , ) the land company has ordered an advance of 15 per centum on present prices. The price of lots in McCook is already unus ually high , and the present raise puts them way out of sight. Probably the company , however , understand what they are about the public certainly fails to appreciate it. This town has had the misfortune to harbor more unadulterated dead-beats and scamps , recently , than is at 'all healthful to any community. One of the most contemptible of the above named class was H. P. Kelly , who runs the brick yard at this point. The story , ( and we have no reason to doubt or question its veracity ) , told us , shows this ir.au Kelly to be a miserable , cow ardly rough , and it is a matter greatly to be regretted that the people of this town ever permitted him to act in as cowardly and brutal way as he no doubt did toward those whom he had in other days probably happier days , ever alco- liol sapped out his manhood sworn to love , cherish and protect. We appeal to the manhood of the citizens of Me Uook to protect the weak and innocent even though the necessity for saloons and bawdy houses is claimed to exist and to be imperative. Shall-we appeal in vain , or will further transgressions receive their richly merited punishment. One of our land attorneys has been engaged for some time looking into the acts in connection with the Phillips claim , which adjoins the town site on the no'.thwest , and upon which proof was made some time since. The. facts is lelated to us are to the effect that the claim was taken and proof made upon the same under the pro-cmption law , ind that the party so doing had already sonic 400 acres of land in his own prop er name ; in the face of that other tact that one who makes proof under said aw makes an oath that he has not 320 icres of land in his name. The law makes it necessary to subscribe i-uch an oath before advantage can be taken of the pre-emption law under any circum stances. Fuither , that sufficient proof lad about , been gathered , and the rec- ouls at the U. S. Land Office were being scanned , hen a consignment of patents 'roui the government was opened and in t was found the patent for the claim in jucstion. Upon which the matter , for a k of means , was allowed to drop , al though the attorney is of opinion that the case can be successfully reached hroughthe courts. Last week we referred to a law suit is having transpired before Esquire Col vin between FOIIIC of the German resi dents uf Dry Creek , over the contract for some breaking. On Friday , a whole wagon load of them were in town , and the witnesses in the suit * became quite wrought up over the fact that no allow ance for mileage had been made for them. Before departing for home in the evening , the majority of the outfit were pretty comfortably full , and dis played the asinine nature of the intoxi- : ated in driving through the streets , then starting on a run for home , only to return in a few minutes , dropping one ind another of the more intoxicated out jf the wagon at times. This perform- uice was repeated a number of times , much to the amusement of a crowd , tvhich bad been attracted to the street [ > y the yelling and merriment. This is ane of many similar cases that might be cited in history ; in which the costs if the suit were more than the amount involved in the litigation. The prose- suting parties paid $91 to get judgment For a little over $40. But there was bushels of fun connected with the afiair. ' Another case of mialocating partie occurred last week , in which Fredericl \\r. Butler again figures ns the roa estate dealer , etc. The lady hailed f ron Beatrice , and though warned that Butler lor was not reliable , and though inform ed by Butler himself that neither hi word nor bond were of any effect , the lady was foolish enough to have the fellow take her out to see claims soutl of town in the morning , and in the af ternoon she filed papers oh "A BIJAUTF FUL" half-section in the Devil's Gap region , paying Butler therefore $50 By the following morning , the womni became convinced that she had not filet on the land that had been shown her , but on the contrary that she had usec her rights on very rough land , uppcarcc at the Land Office and recounted bci wrongs with the vehemency and rapid ity of an excited woman , the meanwhile shedding teardrops most copiously. The matter was finally arranged at the Lam Office , when the woman proceeded t < give her undivided attention to Fred crick W. Butler , Esq. ; but that indi vidual having spent the money in the "flowing bowl , "she was unable to gait much satisfaction from that source. Finally , to those of our real estate men who desire to retain their good name and reputation , let us wins per , fire out every last stool pigeon atu loafing mis-locator in your offices. They will drive away more business than the } can everlmng you. LATKR We are informed that the woman has recoverec all but $10. A noith Nebraska farmer has hirec a hand to work for him this year on a schedule of 'wages beginning with kernel of wheat the first day , two th nest , four , eight , and so on , doubling the amount every day. We just want to say to the farmer that there hasn't been enough wheat raised since the flood to make seed for what he will owe at the end of the year. Topics. The Locomotive Fireman's Ball was a most successful and enjoyable occas ion indeed.

Donavin's Original Tcnnesseeans are o give one of their musical cntcrtain- nents in this place on Friday , March Ith. Judging from the high reputation he Tennesseeans have maintained since heir organization in 1873 , and the un- imited praise accorded them by eminent musical critics and the public press wherever they have been it is not too much to predict that it will prove the ) est concert of vocal music ever given icre. Their program embraces a large ariety and wide range of singing , which annot fail to please all. Baled Hay. * ! have baled hay for sale , in large or small quantities. B. F.
