Men are really dear disinterested crea
tures to be sure , sometimes. Do we
gather figs of thistles ? Do men kick
unless something is hurting them ?
Ain't the mere fact of the kicking pre
sumptive evidence of the hurting ?

ance are cordially invited to meet with

C. M. Lee , three card monte men , whom
he left with Sheriff Mclick for safe keep
ing until the next term of district court.
State Journal.
The official ax has fallen. That it is
suspended again is none the less evident.
Boys , shun the saloon and the gambler's
nest , and you will most likely secure
and retain the confidence of the com
pany and your position.
This week's Courier contains this sug
gestive gem : "We don't particularly
dislike to play those very innocent little
games , but our friends will.confer a fa
vor upon us by enlightening us on the
subject before we get in too deep. "
The present night agent , J. W.
Campbell , has been changed to day ser
vice , and Fred Snow assumes Jim's
former position. This gives additional
facilities for disposing of the largely in
creased business of the company at this
station.
Petitions are now being circulated
around town for at least two saloons.
If saloons are such desirable additions tea
a town , bring so much money to town ,
you know , and the like , why let us have
at least one dozen. You can't have too
much of a good thing.
The City Meat Market is now under
the proprietorship of Church & Bohan-
an , John Farley retiring. The new
firm is putting things in ship-shape as
rapidly as possible. Mr. Farley will
establish a ranch on Spring Creek ,
Frontier County , this spring.
The operators at the B. & M. head
quarters at this place , by reason of the
storm , which raged west of here ,
Wednesday afternoon , found it almost
impossible to use the wires between Mc
Cook and Denver at times. They report
it as the worst electric storm experienc
ed since 1881.
Two Oberlin freighters had their
pockets picked at the depot , Monday
night. One of them was relieved of $30
in money and a watch , and the other a
smaller amount. This may serve as a
pointer to our new Deputy. There are
plenty of crooks to be seen on the streets
and around the depot. . - .
' " * %
We notice that farmers are bringing
in considerable corn these days. Still
the local demand is much larger than
the supply. Stockmen , who are now
getting their strings of horses ready for
the spring round up , are using quanti
ties of corn , which increases the demand
For that cereal beyond the usual.
Among the new houses in course of
erection and shortly to be commenced
are those of J. A. Wilcox , Mr. Rinker
and Rev. Suess. Mr. Wilcox will build
a residence 28 ft. square , with a 16 ft.
addition , making one of the roomiest
louses in McCook. Mr. Rinker's resi
dence will not be so large , but conven
ient and home-like withal. Rev. Suess'
louse is now ncaring completion. An
other 24 ft. square residence is now be
ing built in H. C. Rider's west addition ,
and a number of other residences are
going up in South McCook.
In all our journeys around town noth-
ng in nature has greeted our view more
> eautiful and home-like , more grateful
and cheering than the properties of
Messrs. A. Campbell , George Hockneli ,
J. R. Phelan , A. McG. Robb , C. F. Babcock -
cock and others , as the yards of these
gentlemen now appear in their spring
jarment of velvety green. To be sure
ihcse results have not " come spontane
ously , but are the fruits of labor and
care and money. We are pleased to note
that many others are breaking the buf-
'alo grass in their yards and laying the
'oundation for making their properties
ar more home-like and inviting.
The old board of trustees met , $
iVednesday evening , and cleared up all
heir unfinished business. Bill of'S. H.
3olvin , board Bowman and Lee , confi-
lence men , was allowed and warrant or-
lered issued. Bill of Starbuck & Jen
nings , attorney fees was also allowed
and warrant ordered issued. Petition of
Velsh & Boyd for saloon license , was 1
ead and notice of said application was
ordered published for two consecutive
weeks. Vote of the late village elec-
ion was canvassed and the following
lersons were declared elected Trustees
or the ensuing year : R. B. Archibald ,
C. T. Brewer , Thos. Mclnroy , Chas.
tfoble and W. C. LaTourette , and cer-
ificates of election ordered issued by
he clerk. Adjourned.
It seems to be the anything but fe
licitous province of our Indianola con
temporary to on all occasions miscon
strue our utterances in relation to him
self aud the people of Indianola in par
ticular so as to enlist the sympathy o
the Indianola people to himself an <
prejudice them against THE TRIBUNE
We submit it to the people of the county
seat whether we have ever said anything
prejudicial to the interests of your enter
prising town and we use the word en
terprising in all candor. The prosper
ity and enterprize of the town and pco
pie of Indianola has ever been a source
of gratification to us rather than bit
teruess and envy as The Courier wouh
intimate. We have no reason to change
our expressed view concerning the en
largement of The Courier to its preseni
size , although we really thought that one
experience would suffice The Courier
even. Time will inevitably decide the
correctness of our position. Readers ol
local papers greatly prefer quality to
quantity. A large paper filled with
plates and other non-local news can
never fill the demand for a local paper
We can find charity enough , however ,
to forgive all but that Latin , Bro. Bish
op , but "Et tu Bruti" is really an in
excusable travesty on Latinity.
The prompt , business-like manner in
which Deputy Sheriff Welch discharged
his duty with Bowman and Lee , the
two confidence men arrested , last week ,
for playing their nefarious schemes on
an innocent New York state lad , in
which the late resident of the Empire
State was mulcted to the tune of some
$50 , does not seem to meet with the ap
probation of some and gentle reader
to whom do you suppose the word some
refers to the law-abiding citizen who
is always anxious to see just such ras
cals as Bowman and Lee propeily dealt
with ? Well , hardly. The Deputy's
course receives the entire approval of
every citizen who is on the side of law
and order , and it is their sincerest desire
that all such men may be thus dealt
with. A few more doses of the law's
rigor will clean out more of the tin
horns , confidence men , faro dealers ,
and individuals of that stamp.
Allow us to remark that the Judge
plays , that good old game , largely in
use by some of the profession , called
"bluffjl'.with admirable effect. We are
now Vouchsafed the information that the
electionJielcrTuesday of last week was
neither a general nor a special election
and hence no election at all and that
all the saloons could have been open
on that occasion and enjoyed entire im
munity from the law. Verily , thy name
is wisdom and when thou speakest , it
is law ? or a provision or an amend
ment. Have we a Daniel come to judg
ment , or hath much learning made thce
mad , or hath the invidious wet grocer
ies disarranged ? But , nevertheless , the
Judge offers $5.00 to anyone who will
prosecute the matter to ascertain wheth
er the saloon had a right to be open on
the evening of the village election or not.
REAL ESTATE J. W. Palmer of
Washington , 111. , was in town , this week ,
investing in some real estate. He pur
chased a quarter section , situated seven
miles from town , from J. P. Squire for
a consideration of some eleven hundred
dollars. He also bought several lots
from the Lincoln Land Co. , and we are
informed that he will make McCook his
future home.
ANOTHER BRICK Win. Staddleman ,
formerly of Orleans , but now of Omaha ,
has been in town , this week making ar
rangements for putting a brick building
50 ft. front on his lots , west of the
Churchill House. He informs us that
the building will positively be erected
this summer , and that it may be two
stories high.
On or about the 21st of this month
the different legal lights of our town
will meet and display their forensic
powers to decide the ownership of the
$50 taken from the confidence men ,
Bowman and Lee , last week. Will vic
tory and $50 be the reward of counsels
for plaintiff or defendant is the question.
A most satisfactory indication of bet
ter times is the fact that parties in Mc
Cook are now able to place loans on real
estate for those needing a little capital.
This will be a great assistance to many
settlers.
The horizon to the every point of the
Bompass was brilliantly illuminated ,
Friday evening by prairie fires , which
have raged with more or less severity
almost every week for the past month
or two.
Call and see Spanogle & Rinker's top
Buggies.
