We aslc our patrons to bear with us

The number of school children has in
creased so rapidly that the indications
now are that another building will have
to be provided in the near future
probably as early as this fall. The
present building will not comfortably
accommodate our school children.
Culbertson remains true to her tra
ditions , witnesseth : ' { At a meeting of
the village trustees on Tuesday night ,
the salary of the village clerk and at
torney was fixed at $175. " Sun. The
tillage of McCook goes Culbertson $150
better does without an attorney and
pays her clerk $25.
Freight train No. 83 pulled eight car
loads of stock through this station for
western ranges , Friday evening. The
stock were picked up in car-load lots at
points along the B & M. from Axtell
nrest , and were billed to parties in Col-
jrado. No. 81 also came in with a few
: ar-loads of young stock.
A closely contested land suit has
been occupying the local land officials'
; ime for the past ten days. The land
n dispute is in the neighborhood of
Stratton. Trwin & JohnR. , M. Snavely
ind Cnchran & HcJrn were the attorneys
n the case , which closed on Monday
svening to the relief of many.
Many of onr citizens can fully appre-
: iatc what a pleasant thing it is to be
vithout butter. It seems to be impos-
iible to purchase any of that very neces-
inry arriqle anywhere. The cry comes
'rom nil slides for butter , and there is
jreat lamentation and pulling of hair
Because thai unctuous substance is not.
Eleven car loads of yearlings , aggre
gating in the neighborhood of 500 head ,
were shipped in , Thursday evening last ,
by Kilpatrick Bros. , of Beatrice. They
were unloaded at Stratton , from which
point they wore driven up to the Kil
patrick ranch on the Frenchman River ,
where they will range this summer.
They are Eastern Nebraska stock.
"To be , or not to be , " is the ques
tion that is agitating the souls of those
living on the east end of Dennison street.
Whether it were better to Bear the out
rageous stenches arising from the ma
nure piles and carcasses in that neigh
borhood with further resignation or not
is a troublous question. We again sug
gest the propriety of having tne offend
ing matter removed , to the authorities.
The Chicago Lumber Yard's team of
frisky mules indulged in a playful prank
characteristic of those long-eared quad
rupeds , Friday morningwherein Morris ,
the driver , received quite a painful in
jury ( the wagon with about a ton weight
running over his arm , ) and the window
sash , etc. , with which the wagon was
ladcncd was somewhat demoralized and
made unfit for immediate utilization.
The periodic pranks in which the mild
and even-tempered mule engages ordi
narily comes when least expected.
The B. & M. company , through its
officers at this place at least , recognizes
the necessity of its employes being
sober , and further that they buck not
the festive tiger. All employes who
have made a practice of gambling or
drinking have sooner or later received
notice to step down and out and make
room for better men. Only recently
the official ax fell , and judging from
the habits and associations of certain
ones , that instrument will not long be
idle. The demand for sober , conscien
tious and honest men grows daily.
The following business was transacted
at the annual school meeting held in the
public school building , Monday evening
It was voted that this district have nine
months school , with four teachers , ( we
have not learned anything to the con
trary , and presume that the old force
of teachers is retained. ) Ten mills is
the levy voted. It was also voted to
enclose the block in which the building
is erected , and to set out some trees
on the same. F. L. McCracken was
elected Treasurer , vice W. W. Fisher ,
whose term of office expired with this
school year. The school census , taken
by Prof. Webster , shows a grand total
of 285 school children as against 178
last year.
The school entertainment , Friday
uftcrnoon , upon the occasion of the
closing of the winter term , was attend
ed by a considerable number of the pat
rons of the school ; and the program
tvas rendered throughout in a manner
very gratifying to those parents and
3thers interested in the very important
matter of education , upon which the
safety and perpetuity of our grand com
monwealth depends. The children
demonstrated a willingness and earnest
ness in their work that speaks well for
those who have had charge of them
luring the past term. When children
become interested and are naturally led
to study and application , half the bat-
ile of education is compassed. We will
lot take the space necessary to speak
) f individual merit , but will simply sum
ip the program as an entirety , in say-
ng that all present were well satisfied
ivith the progress evinced by the schol-
irs in their work.
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees
icld Saturday night , the finances of
: he village were investigated , all bills
illowed , and warrants therefor ordered
ssued. Well on to $300 have been ex-
) ended in crossings and on our streets
) y the present board , and although
; he expenses consequent upon the or-
ranization of a village and putting the
iame in working order have been neces-
iarily heavy , the village of McCook , we
ire proud to say , is in excellent condi-
ion financially. The amount now ow-
ng by the corporation in excess of means
o meet obligations does not exceed
5165 ; and as but a little more than
lalf of the levy has been received from
he County Treasurer , the above amount
mw owing ought shortly to be paid ,
tnd doubtless will be. Although the
iresent Board of Trustees has not en-
brced the ordinances of our village as
igidly as we had hoped they would ,
hey have been careful guardians of the
inances of the same , and have succeed-
d beyond our expectations in the mat
er of improvements in streets and cross-
11 $ ! . 'No town in the state is in better
undition , and none of its ugc can
east of better pavements , crossings , etc.
We have never had occasion to meas
ure and ascertain the length of the
lane wherein there is no turn , but it
sometimes happens that the distance is
shorter than we anticipate and that the
turn is more abrubt than we expect.
Tuesday morning , the confidence men ,
gamblers , dead beats , bummers , and the
entire saloon element of this town , en
tered the field with great confidence
and braggadocia. and through the neg
ligence and indifference of the business
men of our town , almost criminal in
difference , they succeeded in accom
plishing their purpose running the
village election. This is the first time
in the history of this town , that such
an element over dared step in and dic
tate , and the success with which they
met turned their heads , in so much that
'
W. M. Lewis , through the advice of an
attorney , who knew better , but who ev
idently , had become dry , opened up his
saloon to the excited hoodlums , in di
rect violation of the law. But the trans
ition from the house of rejoicing to the
house of lamentation , is not always
long , and this violation will meet with
a punishment that will cool the trans
gressors ardor completely. And fur
ther , the effects of this suppositions
victory for this element have been sucl
as to arouse the people to a realization
of the true interests of the town , and
the various establishments that have
flourished in our midst since the towi
was established will feel the strong am
of the law long outraged with impuni
ty. We believe our people are not onlj
determined to route out the confidence
men and gamblers , but DESTROY THE
NESTS , and in this event the scamp ;
will have no places in which to work
their nefarious schemes. We have grea
reason to hope that this dose of hood
luniistu will prove the very stimulant
our village authorities and people need
So stand from in under.
USQUEBAUGH. Jim Ncaly of Ben-
kelrnan came down , Monday , to do the
city , and after drawing $1,035 from the
Citizens Bank , proceeded to get most
gloriously full of coffin varnish , with
the above object in view. Just as mo
lasses attracts files , so docs a man with
plenty of money and in a beastly state
of intoxication draw to him the deadbeats -
beats , bummers , tin-horn gamblers and
men of like ilk. So in a very short
thfie Jim's resources had been dimin-
ishqd-in one way and another about
$200 , and had not a good Samaritan
taken him in tow about supper time on
Monday evening , there is no telling how
much of the $1,000 he would have had
by morning. Just such miserable , weak
specimens of humanity need some pro
tection by the law and from the sharks ,
who are always numerous and ready to
take a stranger in.
The two confidence men , Bowman
and Lee , who beat a young man from
New York , Emil Goettelin by name ,
out of over $60 , Wednesday , were ar
rested at Culbertson by Deputy Sheriff
Walsh , and came up for a hearing in
the Justice Court of Squire Colvin ,
this morning. Both the tin-horns were
held in a $1,000 bond to appear at the
June session of the district Court , and
are now in the city cooler.
We call attention to the advertise
ment of Stayca & Hernnan , Contractors ,
which appears on the editorial page of
this issue. These gentlemen have built
a shop on Main Ave. , the old Babcock
lumber yard , and are prepared to do
anything in the contracting line , and
guarantee to do it well.

two days in the notices , und the query natur

answer a number of such questions.

Spring , beautiful spring ; but hold on
or wo will be a poet , before we know it ;
there it is again ; well , this weather
would make a poet of most anyone.
Small grain is nearly all in. Don't
think the acreage has increased any
over last year's sowing ; farmers can't
afford to raise wheat for 115 to 50 eta.
per bushel ; better raise corn at 25 to
30 cts nnd hogs at $5.00 per cwt.
We noticed quite a croquet party at Mr.
Boughton's , last week. Fine weather
for croquet. One of our fine young
men trying to lasso his best girl , won
der if he has given up getting her in
any other way ? Barney and Jim look
a little run , the other day , and forgot to
take John with them ; $10,00 or $15,00
damages was the result. Well , John ,
you must keep a tighter line on the po
nies , and don't , ever tell Barney and
Jim to ' 'come on" unless you are ready
to go with them. F. Mowshot , one of
the firht settlers of Ash Creek , is again

years in Colorado. Fred says Ecd Wil

is putting down a well. Mr. Armstrong
is doing the excavating for him. An
other one of those pleasant parties at
Mr. Miller's , the other evening , and al
though the band disappointed them ,
with Frank's help , we got along finely ,
and all enjoyed themselves. The en
tertainment given by the Alpha Beta
Literary Society , was a success in every
way , a full house and all well pleased ,
is all anyone could ask for. But we
do not think some of the members
showed good judgement in disposing of
the proceeds as they did ; for we think
it enough for the society to do to raise
the money , without being held responsi
ble by the fault-finders of the whole
country for the expending of the same.
