THE Chicago doctor who lias been
performing surgical experiments upon
his family to illustrate the nmesthetie
properties of cocaine , probably docs
not owe his insanity to that useful
drug. Tiic incidental remark of a re
porter that Dr. Bradley was also ad
dicted to the use of morphia , may
'account for the mental condition which
led him to the promiscuou employ
ment of cocaine to an extent that is
certainly novel , if nothing else can be
said for it. It is also probably an error
to say that Dr. Bradley has made
"physical wrecks" of his children by
the use of cocaine. A man might very
readily reduce his family to the condi
tion of "physical wrecks" by carving
slices out of uiem , either with or with-
! out the use of an antcsthetic , though
the wreck would probably be more com
plete without the antithetic than with
it. Cocaine , like a great manother
new remedies , so-called , has 'been
vaunted somewhat beyond its actual
deserts ; .but within lines now pretty
clearly defined it is unquestionably of
very great value and entirely harmless.
Its special use ia in its peculiar power
of producing insensibility when locally
j applied to the surface of a mucous
I membrane , and this without any consti
tutional effects whatever. Lt thus ren-
1 ders painless operations upon the eye.
' in the nose or the mouth , or in other
sensitive parts , and removes , that state
' of congestion and hypenusthewa , or
1 extreme sensitiveness , that is the cause
I of so much suffering. Within this field
i the almost unique properties of cocaine
have proved it to be of very great im
portance , and it is a pity that anything
so useful to humanity should be dis
credited by the absurdities of a crazy
mar. Philadelphia Times.
IN Kansas , when a man goes to the
drug store to get .something good for his
stomach he has to sign a paper setting
forth his ailment brief. } . The Chicago
Tribune man who has been looking over
the liquor registers in sonic of the To-
peka and Leavemvorth drug stores , finds
that some Kansans drink a few gills
of whiskey for toothac.hc.some for back
ache , some forgeneral debility , " and
one honest invalid records it that he
wants the medicine "to hide his sorrow. "
TIIE new Oxford paper , t he Standard ,
by W. T. Lindsay , is "the latest. " The
Standard makes quite ,1 creditable ini
tial appearance.
El wood Citizen : Jack Moore , the
gentlemanly and efficient conductor who
has been on the Elwood-Holdrege run
since the completion of this branchhas ,
been changed to a main line run , with
headquarters at McCook , and George
Whitman , of Oxford , supercedes him.
We are sorry to loose Jack , though our
loss is his gain and we imagine any pro
motion the B. & M. may give him will
be merited.
Some settlers in Hitchcock county
have foolishly organized a sort of a vig
ilance committee to protect themselves
against the depredations of range cattle.
And maiming , slaughtering and im
pounding stock is being indulged in , es
pecially in the northwest part of tlje
count } ' . Cooler and better judgment
should prevail among these settlers. At
this season of the year it is obviously
impossible to move the herds out of the
county. It were just as impossible a
thing to "hold" stock , and the only al-
ternative is that the cattle be permitted
to range at large until spring seed time ,
when stockmen will round them up , pro-
paratory to moving them to greener
fields. A little common sense exhibit
ed on the part of settler and stockman
will obviate most of the existing trouble ,
and we prescribe the medicine.
FROM press dispatches we glean that
Sparks of the general land office has
finally and sensibly arrived at the con
clusion that Sparks , no matter how brilj
liant , is not paramount to the laws of
the United States , and that the doughty
ci-mmissioiier has "taken water" ' on a
number of his recent rulings. Theopin- j
ion prevails generally , anil is being voic
ed widely by the press , that the com
missioner's ruling on the liomchicnd law.
which ruling pecms to be in direct con
tradiction to the laws of the United
States , will be sut aside by the secretary.
Further , that the issuance of patents ,
where proofs shows "continuous" resii i
dence , as well as those cases of contest j
and upon which the department has j I
passed , has been ordered , and addition-1 i
al clerks employed for that purpose.
Sparks will shortly be where the ex-com
missioner was when he"stepped down
and out.

from good authority that the contract for
the grading of the Iloldrege extention of
the ] ! . & M. road has been let from

southeastern corner of this county ,
thence nearly west through range ! 2G

southward to a point near Curtis in
range 28. some six miles south of the
south line of Lincoln county.

I ' known as the Brotherhood of Locomo-
i I live Engineers are making extensive ar-
I ' rangemcnts for .1 grand ball and banquet
to be held in McCook in the near future.
The necessary committees have been ap
pointed and all are working heroically
to make this , their inaugural ball a suc
cess beyond the peradventure of a doubt.
Invitations "will be issued to the friends
of this organization all over Nebraska

ering of "lever handlers"and their
friends ever held in the state. Exten
j sive preparations are already being made
to cntrrtain and piovide for the visitors
to that magic city , and the ball and
banquet.
