While the Democrat's list of real estate
transfers , last issue , did somewhat resemble
"last year's bird nest , " the best indications ai
are ] that McCook's prospects , this spring , are q
not of that sort , at all. There is a wellU
founded , firm belief among our citizens that
work on the machine shops will commence ,
this spring. There is a genuine , healthy stir
real estate. Parties from abroad are being
attracted , among them a Doldredge syndim

McCook realty with confidence born of some
thing more substantial than wind. In fine

for you to achieve wonders. Dy unceasing

ambition. Many a man has fitted himself y (
for the coffin in less time than two years , by
assiduously swiping the flowing bowl , giving
the town a new coat of paint twice a week ,
turning night into day and missing all the
sleep possible. What others have done you m
may do , and if you keep down to business , pi

you may be wrapped in a winding sheet in bt
two years and thus be utterly indifferent to
anything concerning prohibition. There ,

Some Men.
t From the Lincoln Journal. ]
Some men are wise at twenty , others fools
at fifty. Some men can be successful law
yers at twenty-live with the prescribed period
of study , other men remain pettifoggers all
their lives. Some men can accurately diagi
nose a disease when twenty-five with only
the prescribed period of study , others can1
kill patients with great regularity after the
preliminary medical instruction and with
years ' of practice. Some men can do clean ,
3'li
honorable , satisfactory newspaper work
when raised from the case , others will be
ghouls and vampires of the profession no
matter how many years of experience they
can count on their finger ends. Some men
can tell news when they sec it , others could
never learn to distinguish a piece of news
from a post hole should theiryears be length-
ened even unto the three score and ten.
The Voice of Lamentation.
Despite The Tiubiine's efforts to the conf
trary , the Indianola Courier ruthlessly in-
sists "with ghoulish glee , " as it weie , upon
resurrecting and holding a "post mortem"
on the withered remains of what is 'known
to ( history as the "Great Western Watch Co. "
In the first place , Mr. Bishop , it is not in
good taste. Secondly , tit yill be offensive to
the ] public nostril. .Desistl'
'
"We think ifabout time that the officers of
the "Great Western Wntch Co. " v/ere doing
something ' , if they e er intend to. At least
meet and agree to thronr up the sponge , if
nothing more. There is the duty you owe the
stockholders , of seeing that their interests arc
protected. If you do not propose to do thi3 ,
call an election at leastand let others be chos
en who will attend to the business. "

Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Celebration
W1M.OW CJIHJVK LODGE , K. OP ICELE -
luun ; the twenty-fifth Anniveu-
8A.UV OF THE FOUNDINO OF THEIR NOBLE
OlMiKlt IN A JIAXNEU ALTOGETHER SUC
CESSFUL AND FELICITOUS.
Tim members of Willow Grove Lodge ,
Knights of Pythias of our city , havo occasion
to remember with sensation * of entire satis
faction the celebration , 1.1 Ca.stlu Hall , Tues
day evening , ot the twenty-firth anniversary
of their growing order. It had all the ele
ments of success and pleasure. The opening
exercise of the evening was the welcome ad
dress by Chancellor Commander Hulburd ,
who spoke as follows :
WELCOME ADDRESS.
Friends : This being the twenty-fifth an
niversary of our order , wo extend to you the
liberty of our Castle Hall. This room that
you now occupy is sacred to eacli and every
Knight for within these doors wo strive , by
words of kindness and acts of love , to ele
vate mankind and encourage our Brothers in
the pathway of life , socially , Intellectually
and : morally , and we trust that the social in
tercourse of our friends here , this evening ,
will tend to strengthen our order in that par-
ticular and in upholding its principles or F.
C.andB. You will thereby have given aid
and assistance in performing the duties that
come to each and all as wo journey through
life. We know full well that chcumstances
and : conditions determine character and by
your presence and kind words together with
other ; and similar influences that wo can
bring ; to our aid we hope to so regulate the
condition ; of our fellow man as to obtain the
best : possible results. This is the third time
that the Knlgnts of Pythias of McCook havo
called , their friends together in social con-
claye i , and as it has been our object in the
past : to make each succeeding meeting more
pleasant than its predecessors , so do wo as
Knights , strive to improve our conditions in
life ; , to cheer the drooping and rally the
doubting < , through all the vicissitudes of life
should be the duty of all. Duty embraces
j man's whole existence. And 1 charge you
brother | Knights to neglect not the few select-
ed i friends who have met with us this even
j ing. We trust that each of you will , to-night
banish from your thoughts all cares ami
troubles \ of your daily life , and let the desire
to i be happy and to make those about you
contented J , bo the only object of the evening.
So to-night we throw open the dojrs of our
J Castle Hall for the admission of those who ,
in j our judgment , will lend their encourage
ment i to the work in hand. The ordinary
] labors of this hall are suspended for brief
space and each Knight will devote his time
and energies in entertaining those about him.
Friends j again , in behalf of the Lodge and
i these Knights here assembled , I give you a
hearty I aud most cordial welcome.
The male quartette , Messrs. Wahlquist ,
Harper J , | Berry | and Elliott , then rendered ,
"Come Rise With the Lark , " with good ef
fect i and acceptably. Following was a short ,
but ' very neat little address by Mr. J. C.
Allen on the appropriate theme ,
"I'YTHIANISM. "
Friends : With Knightly courtesy I greet
you. We are gathered here , this evening
citizens of the bright and growing city of
McCook , to celebrate the silver anniversary
of our order. Twenty-five years ago in a
J land devastated by civil war , amid depressing
surroundings our order took its rise. But
richest grapes come from barren soils and on
severe and rocky slopes the trees are often
of the toughest libre. The cedars of Lebanon
disdain the level of marsh aud meadow , and
thus our order , superior to its surroundings ,
sustained by the fostering care of its founders
and the perpetuity of its principles , spread
even as a pebble dropped on tlie sensitive
bosom of a lake makes ripples into circles ,
ever expanding , ever multiplying. The ef
fort and the saciifice have alike come to their
fruitage j and on this anniversary , emerging
from the toil of earlier days , with the earlier
and later clouds alike swept out of the re-
splendant stellar arch of our order , let us as
Knights of Pythias pause from our work to
remember and rejoice with exhilarated spirit

Mr. Frank Walsh sang "Erin on the Rhine"
with excellent effect , and was , warmly ap-
plauded. A humorous selection was read by
Mr. J. F. Foibes , with the usual , hearty enc
chore attachment. The male quartette then
favored the audience with "My Own Native
Isle" a pretty , popular song , which was
well sung. Mr. Tom Wilkinson afterwards
gave a select reading in his inimitable style ,
A humorous reading by Mr. J. 'F. Forbes
closed tins pait of the evening's program ;
and the company repaired to the opera hall ,
where a splendid feast had been prepared
under the veteran hands of the ladies of the
Geometrical society of the Congregational
church. The banquet was a symphony in
meats ] , pastry , creams , fruits , and other
marvels j of the gastronomic art , just such a
"spread" as the ladies might be expected to
make for an occasion so auspicious in every
other detail. Ample provision being made
for the immediate physical wants , the Castle
Hall was again invaded and a few hours °
very pleasantly spent in playing cauls and in
social-chat At a late hour the company disd
banded , having had , if outward indications ii
go for ought and may be taken as the meash
ure of pleasure , an evening of unalloyed joy-
ousness , upon which fact the order is to be n
congiatulated warmly. Among the guests

Our New Plan.
t g
We , the physicians of McCook , have been L
forced to adopt a new plan with regard to L
our collections for the following reasons : u
1. We have found it impossible to collect n
more than a small portion of our accounts , j *
2. We have repeatedly found that our bills
w
have been "left until the last , " and we have
thus frequently been compelled to borrow
money ] from the banks to pay our running
expenses. "
S. This has been carried to such and ex 0J
tent that we are forced to stop practice un
less our patrons appreciate our services in a
more substantial manner. For the forgoing jE
reasons be it hereby . * " ci
Resolved , That hereafter we will do
strictly a cash practice , and whenever an- -
une of our patrons becomes delinquent , he
shall be notified , and unless satisfactory setJ ]
tlement be made within thirty days thereaf
ter , he shall be put npon the delinquent list A )
Resolved , That all accounts now on our
books shall become delinquent on Feb. 20 ,
ISS9 , unless satisfactorily settled before that
3ate. " sc
Resolved , That Ave mutually pledge ourP
selves to refuse to answer all calls from , those
found on the delinquent list
