A subscriber to a paper in this section decid

ed the publisher with his reasons , as follows :
"I think men ortent to spend their munny
for paypers , my dad diddent and everybody
said he was the intellergentest man in this
secshun and he had the smartest family of
boys that ever dug taters. "
Complaint is made by Widow Mocho , who
resides about three miles northwest of the
city , that within four weeks past , almost six
dozens of chickens have been stolen from her
farm. As Mrs. Mocho is supporting six
young children , the contemptibleness of the
work is the more pronounced. The perpe
trators are certainly sneaking scoundrels of
the deepest dye.
The lowest cost of getting cattle ready for
the market is 2 > < cents per pound. An aver
age bullock weighing 1,000 pounds costs the
producer § 25. He is sold for § 30 , which
gives the raiser 20 per cent , profit. After
passing through the slaughter house , his hide ,
meat , tallow , etc. , are sold for § 37 , a profit of
23 per cent The retailer takes the 500 pounds
of dressed meat for § 30. He eels 12) cents
a pound for choice cuts and an average of
five for the rest , making a total of § 48.75 , an
advance of more than 60 per cent Ex.
The progressive chewing gum social is the
latest innovation in the way of novel enter

tan are given to eacli one. A judge is ap
pointed for each table and the person at the
head table chewing in the most graceful
manner progresses to the next table where
the same performance is gone through with
ngain , tiie one at that table doing the act in
the most artistic way , going to the next table
and so on. After going once around , they
ill swap gum and the play is gone through
"
with again. The one securing the most
points in the game takes the gum of all the
rest
Open your blinds by day and light bright
[ ires at night Illuminate your wails. Put
books and newspapers on your tables. Have
music and enteitaining games. Banish de
mons of dullness and apathy , and bring in
mirth and good cheer. Invent occupations
for your sons. Stimulate their ambitions in
worthy directions. While you make home
their delight , fill them with higher purposes
than "mere pleasure. Whether they-shall .
pass boyhood and enter manhood with refin-
jd tastes and noble ambitions depends on
rou. With exertions and right means , a
mother may have more control over the des
tiny of her boys than any other influence
whatever.
An exchange says : "We care not where
rou find them , the habitual newspaper bor
rower is a dread to a neighbor. The local
paper is as essential to a home as salt is to a

A Felicitous Evening Party.
On last Friday evening , Mr. aud Mrs. II.
H. Troth entertained a numerous and bril
liant assemblage ot friends , at their home on
comer of Dakota and Madison , in a charac
teristic , clever manner. The affair wa ? in
the naturd of a progressive euchre party and
was given in honor of Mr. Caleb Clothier ,
whose arrival from an extended visit in ills
native state of Jersey was duly noted In our
last issue. At a proper and "convenient
juncture in the proceedings refreshments of
a dainty and delicious character were served
and duly appreciated. After which the game
proceeded until a fete iiour , when ended one
of the most pleasurable social occasions of
the season. We give a

THE PRINCIPLE PRIZE
rewarded Mrs. F. L. Brown's efforts ; while
Mr. C. F. Babcock , by dint of heroic effort
and a little "wool-pullmg , " carried off the
booby in great glee.
Our New Plan.
We , the physicians of McCook , have been
forced to adopt a new plan with regard to
our collections for the following reasons :
1. We have found it impossible to collect
more than a small portion of our accounts.
2. We 'have repeatedly found that our bills
have been "left until the last , " and wo have
thus frequently been compelled to borrow
money from the banks to pay our running
expenses.
3. This has been carried to such aud ex
tent that we are forced to stop practice un
less our patrons appreciate our services in a
more substantial manper. For the forgoing
reasons be it hereby
Resolved , That hereafter we will do
strictly a cash practice , and whenever any
one of our patrons becomes delinquent he
shall be notified , and unless satisfactory set
tlement be made within thirty days thereaf
ter , he shall be put npon the delinquent list
Besolved , That all accounts now on our
books shall become delinquent on Feb. 20 ,
1889 , unless satisfactorily settled before that
date.
date.Besolved
Besolved , That we mutually pledge our
selves to refuse to answer all calls from those
found ou the delinquent list.

What are we Doing.
What is Nebraska doing to attract In
vestment aud thrifty immigration during the
coming spring ? Eastern capital necessarily
will look to the west for profitable invest
ment and will naturally tend toward that
state and that industry which offer the great
est inducement There is eveiy reason to
believe that capitalists will look to the de
velopment of western resources. The con
dition of the money markets are favorable
to such a move. The increase in the surplus
of the eastern banks indicates that the field
for investment is restricted at home. The
opportunity should not be lost by Nebraska
to present her claims. Other states are mak
ing a strong bid to attach both capital and
labor , and it behooves our best interests not
to be left iu the race.
Annual Election and Reports.
The Geometrical Society of the Congrega
tional church held its annual meeting , Tues
day of this week. The treasurer's exhibit
showed § 342.10 received. The president's re
view of the year's work was gratifying to all.
The presidency of Mrs. C. M. Noble had
been so satisfactory that she was at once
unanimously re-elected. Her declinature re
quiring further balloting , the desire for her
continuance in office was so earnest that she
consented again to act The other officers
chosen were , Mrs. Carl Clark , Vice-Presi
dent ; Mrs. F. M. Kimmell , Secretary ; Mrs.
J. E. Cochran , Treasurer. The society en
ters upon another year very auspiciously.
Quite an Undertaking.
The work of elevating the immense safe
of the IT. S. land office into its new location
proved to be no child's play , the absence of
proper appliances making the operation tedi
ous and difficult. The safe weighs about
three tons and it was not placed in the new
quarters until in the afternoon of the follow
ing day. Morris DesLarzes , of the firm of
Herian & DesLarzes , who had the contract
was quite painfully injured by the breaking
of an anchor rope , otherwise no accidents
worthy of note occurred.
Subscribers Pay Up.
It is not the habit of the publisher to do
persistent dunning ; but there is a tide in the
affairs of men which taken at the flood leads
an to glory ; so there is a time in "the life of
the publisher when a little cash seems to be
necessary , in addition to glory. An urgent
invitation is extended our delinquent sub
scribers to call at once aud settle up. In
sther words we must have some money.

The Rural World states that hog cholera is
caused by tho eating of carrion food dropped
by buzzards. This is unique , but it is not cor
rect. The real cause of the disease lies in the
fact that farmers neglect to cut off the tails or
the pigs when they arc young. If you are an
observing man , you will have noticed that no
liog minus a tail ever bad the cholera. The
jorms of the scourge lie in the tail ( thus caus
ing the twist peculiar to it ) and as the animal
idvances in years the germs spread into the
body and eventually cause death of the most
ibsolute kind. There are several remedies for
Lhe hog cholera , but only one is reliable.
When a hog first rises in the morning it should
be giveu a cocktail to stimulate its stomach
md induce perspiration. This should be fol
lowed by a vigorous shampoo , after which the
four footed invalid should be given a Turkish
sath. If this course be followed every morn
ing the animal will speedily recover and live
: o a green old age. But it is better to prevent
ban to cure. Therefore , be sure to amputate
; be hog's tall when young : do the work in the
iarli of rhe moon when the sign is in the feet ,
md all will be well. There is no reason to be
ifraid of buzzar.is. These intellectual birds
lave so much work of their own to do that
hey positively have not time to go around
listributing hog cholera. Topics.

Tho president or tho Chicago , Burlington & I
Qulnoy railroad has sot a good oxamplo to
other railroad managers In promptly notifying
tho Iowa railroad commissioners that his road I
will at onco comply with tho schedulo framed
by the commissioners , and will rofund over- I
charges sinco tho filing of tho decision of I
Judgo Browcr. To this extent , Mr. Perkins I
shows a proper spirit , which It will bo wiso for I
tho managers of other roads in Iowa to emu-
late. It was to bo expected that ho would
abandon tho claim maintained iu tho court I
that tho schedules of tho commissioners aro I
unjust , or that ho would givo up tho light in
which the railroads have just suffered dofeat.
Ho protests that tho rates established aro in- I
adequate , and ho Implies a purposo to jtidi- I
cially continue tho contest. But meanwhile
tho Burlington company will gracefully sub-
mlt to tho law , and thus givo tho opportunity , *
'
which in tho opinion uf Judge lirowor must bo
given , to determine by practical trial whether .1
or not the rates established by tho commlslon-
ers will be compensatory. This is obviously '
no other way In which this can bo satisfactori- jl
ly ascertained. No court is competent to dc- jl
termiuo it without ovideuco obtained from ; l
tho operation of tho schedules. In such ti jl
matter estimates are of small value , for as was , 1
said byanotherjudgequoted by Judgo Browcr , I
"A reduction of railway charges is not always jl
followed by a reduction of cither gross or not 'M
income. " This has been repeatedly and wide- il
ly demonstrated. jl
Tho letter or President Perkins to tho score- jl
tary of the commission is pacific and concilia'I
tory. He indicates that tho appeal to tho I
courts was mado from a sense of tho great tm'I
portance of having tho law judicially Inter,1 ,
pretcd , and closes with tho expression of a jl
hopo that tho company he I'oprcsents may il
havo tho co-operation of tho commissioners | l
iu tbo further hearing and the final and satis * il
factory settlement of tho-wliolo question. Ui- <
doubtedly the commissioners will heartily re- I
spond to this friendly spirit , and as tho Iowa I
law permits rates to be advanced whon they l
are shown to bo below a compensatory point , iW
if experiment proves the schedules establish- jjl
ed to be too low they wil ! doubtless be revised. „ l
But the actual experiment Is necessary , and jjl
this the decision of Judge Brewer will secure jl

Lincoln , Neb. , Feb. 4. [ To the Editor of i
Tho Herald.l Your review this morning of !
my note printed tho day before seems to bo
rather a personal criticism of myself than an
attempt to carefully consider what I said.
Tho implication that I wish to lead democrats
"away from true democracy and sound policy" f
is unfounded. I have never sought to lead at
all , nor do I now. All I want to do is to pre- '
veat , if possible , the party once more impal
ing itself on the horns of fate , or destiny , or
whatever you choose to call it. As to slavery ,
as to various constitutional amendments , as
to tho Siocumb law , as to other foreordained
milestones along the march of human pro
gress , the democratic party has always repeat
ed the BKme bit of history. It first resisted ,
then submitted , then tolernted , th n approv
ed. The very Siocumb law which is new tho
height of human perfection was but a few
years ago pronounced odious tyranny by tho
democratic party in Nebraska. It was solemn
ly and seriously denounced by several state
conventions. I protested against that folly
then as I protest against a similar folly now.
[ do not agree with The Herald that thi3 is "an
emergency. " Nothing of the sort. It Is 11
mere accident of human progress , and for
once in a lifetime I want to see the democratic
bull step off the track before the engine comes *
llong. It is not a fight of partisans. There
Is no obligation whatever upon the party to 2

tions of morals , having no such relations to 1

It is not "the imperative dutv of tho party to I
commit itself , " but , on the contrary , the ques- f
Lion is one of those fleeting issues whose very |
matures do not allow a permanent party to
jind or commit its voters to any sort.of policy , t
regarding it. There are limits to the right f
) f a party to pronounce. There are reserved . '
-ights of individual opinion on ail but cardinal *
principles. The right to make and sell whisky
