Don't quarrel with the world , my friend , unless you have made arrangements to en counter a lusty enemy. The receipts of household goods at this station would indicate a considerable immi gration at this easly date. Lower Main Avenue , Saturday afternoon , was the scene of a very amusing "scrap. " No serious personal injury. Back yards , barns , outbuildings and all places that are unclean about the city should be attended to immediately. School books , blank books , scale books , letter copying books , legal and land blanks , pens , inks , pencils , tablets , etc. , at The Tribune office. The "Glucinum" pen is undoubtedly the finest pen in tiio market. Will outwear three other pens. For sale at The Tjubunb Sta tionery Department. The second-hand.store has moved to West Denmson strectopposite theMcEutee House. Their late quarters will shortly bo occupied by a merchant tailor. The exchange of courtesies in real estate , between Nebraska and Kansas , the past few days , has not been conducive to public com fort in a high degree. Denver continues to be the favorite cattle maiket : Messrs. Brewer & Wilcox made an other shipment of four car-loads there , the early part of present week. The neatness and dispatch with which Chief Paine disposes of useless and superflu ous purps which abound on our streets is amusing and commendable. The store room in rear end of of the First National bank building has been leased by Mrs. W. C. Lathrop of Indianola who will open up a stock of millinery goods in the same at once. Em. Kendall has staited a little stand on Lower Main Avenue , corner The Frees & Hocknell Lumber Yard , this week. Ho will dispense temperance drinks , fruits , nuts , to baccos , etc. , in a small way. A regulation plank sidewalk is being laid along West Dodga street , between the First National and the Central House , this week. Chief Paine presides over this improvement in his usual , efficient manner. The greatest variety of tablets in this sec tion of Nebraska may be found at Trie Tki" bune Stationery Department. The line lias just been largely increased. Call and see the assortment and get prices. The H. II. Berry stock of groceries has been purchased by S. Seaman , who has mov ed the same to West Dennison street and opened up business in the store room former ly occupied by Messrs. Wilcox & Fowler. The friends in the vicinity of the Vincent school house gave a very creditable-musical and literary entertainment in the Vincent school house , the first of last week. The program was rendered to the satisfac lion of a iull house. The smart girl knows by this time thather paper must be gray and that the flap of her envelope must fold over in a long point with her address stamped in gold on the point. As soon as the fashion spreads she v/ill drop it and get another. We have for sale in our Stationery Depart ment one hundred nounds of fine paper cut into various sizes for figuring pads. Every business man should lay in a supply , Only 15 cents a pound. Don't forget us if you want any figuring pads. The annoyance and disturbance consequent upon placing The Tribune building on established grade has interfered considerably with our wodr , this week , and will probably stand for an excuse for all sins of omission and commission , this issue. Already immigration has commenced and we are enjoying the finest kind of spring weather in which to receive the new comers. Our real estate men are becoming moist on their blows and full in their bread troughs by reason of extra exertions. On Wednesday afternoon the auction sale of the McCracken stock of jewelry was com menced. J. H. Ilershfield of Chicago is the crier. Sale will continue until entire stock is disposed of. It is said that "bargains aie i being secured. The attendance is good. i The smait aleck youth who nearly precipi tated a panic in the opera hall , Saturday evening , during the school entertainment , by his ill-advised alarm of fire , ought to be giv en u leathern medal , and The Tribune is ( not particular how or where the medal is - presented. The Indianola girls are so modest that they : won't look at a clothes line when it has no i clothes on it , and they won't walk across a potato patch because the potatoes have eyes and after the last fall of snow disappeared tiiey remained in their rooms because the ground was bare. A bill was passed by the Fiftieth congress giving 3100 bounty to soldiers who were en rolled or enlisted for three years prior to July ' 23,1SC1 , and who were subsequently honor ably discharged from the service. It would be very interesting to know how many there are living entitled to that bounty. They cannot be numerous , alas ! The marriage of Mr. Harry Clark and ! Miss Minta King occurred atCulbertson , last evening , the relatives and near friends of the high contracting parties only being present The newl v married couple will reside at Colo rado Springs , Colo. , where Mr. Clark is in charge of the Western Union's office. Con gratulations and best wishes. An exchange recommends the following . recipes : To make reputation , take a ton of gall , half a pound of brains , sixteen grains of truth , and fill up with ad libitnm lying. To make a friend , take a half pound of sym pathy , a pound of flattery , two pounds of beneficial services ; mix well and serve hot. To make an enemy , take an ounce of truth put it on ice for a minute and let him have it cold. " Tho Boston Transcript defends and excuses the fashion among the ladies of wearing their gowns cut half way down their backs. It says that the Indies are always more or less apprehensive that their gentlemen friends will mistake them for ancols and thus be awed into keeping a little more distant than is desirable. They cut their gowns below the shoulder blade considerably below just so that the men may see there are no wings sprouting. * yj , "vase. * * iV-H ? ( a. * - * ! - * * - • ' - - " ( * . . . .

As spring election day , draws on apace tho Interest manifested therein increases in a corresponding ratio. The desire for harmony , too , is quite encouragingly evident ; while the disposition to unsheath the politico-personal sniclcersco is so far not alarming. In fact the feeling seems to be quite general at present to settle upon a ticket composed of good men and to elect them without the usual strife , having in mind tho city's truest and beht in terests solely. FOR THE OFFICE OF MAYOR Dr. S. L. Green Is receiving assurances of support that will practically make certain his election , perhaps without opposition. The doctor's Interests among us are extensive. He is oneof the city's first settlers. He has the leisure to devote to the duties of the posi tion and the ability to discharge them. His election will be a wise and sate action. FOR THE CITY CLERKSn'P , W. M. Anderson , the present efficient In cumbent , having declined to have his name urged in that connection , Mr. J.E. Kelley , of the firm of Babcock & Kelley , is receiving en couraging support. He having served in that capacity one term with pronounced efficiency , it is perhaps superfluous to refer even to his * qualifications. Enough to say that they are eminently sufficient. Perhaps no office in the municipal. gpyerument is more important than that of CITY AND SCHOOL TREASURER. The numerous funds and tlQ-aiipunt | ) of money handled during the year , for city and school purposes , make the selection of a com petent , careful book-keeper of prime consid eration. Among those mentioned for this office none , we believe , are better , if as well , qualified as Mr. E. C. BallewvThe Trih- ttn'e takes pleasure in suggesting him to the favorable consideration of our citizens.among whom are many who will warmly support him. IX THE FIRST WARD There is but one vacancyDr.Z.L. Kay hold ing over. For the other member both J. C. Allen , who has been one of the most active and able members during the past year , and R. It. Woods , are mentioned , with others. Either gentleman would fill the position with an eye single to McCook's glory. THE SECOXD WARD Voters have been casting around among their available candidates and have quite unanimously settled upon Mr. F. L. Brown , who is now doing splendid service as council man to fill vacancy caused by H. G. Dixon's resignation ; and Mr. C. E. Boyd , the well known West Dennison street liquor dealer , and one of the city's most largely interested and enterprising business men. For mem bers of the theBOARD BOARD OF EDUCATION There are numerous suggestions , but the public desire lias not crystallized to any con siderable extent as yet. Of the present board , Messrs. Jacob Steinmetz and Hilen Trow bridge's terms expire. Butthe mention of S. D. Huddleston for member of the board can not fail of being favorably received. Mr. H. lias served for years in that capacity. His qualifications are of a very superior character. The Tribune sincerely hopes that he may be chosen for one of the board. There is no better material in the city for the place. Laird's Condition. Washington , D. C , March 12. [ Special to The Call.J Jt is talked here to-day among his friends that Congressman James Laird is rapidly sinking and that his recovery is des paired of. Since his arrival here , but few persons have been permitted to call upon him only his most intimate friends being allowed that privilege. The slow but certain malady , softening of the brain , has finally gotten him in its entire control , and those in a condition to know , state that his recovery is alnios'J impossible. His Hastings friends have bee n advised of his condition. i * Pleasure Unalloyed. The residence of Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Pot ter in "West McCook was the scene of much social gayety , Wednesday evening of this week. It was the occasion of a progressive euchm party , and the guests were as follows : Mn. akdJMks. C. W.

The ho nors of the evening were success fully sougiit by Mr. E. E. Lowman and Mrs. C. M. Noble. Mrs. Samuel Strasser and Dr. Z. L. Ka.y divided the booby prizes. Re freshments . Mr. and Mrs. Potter's cards are out for another gathering , this evening. GRAND OPENING.

It provie ' es that not less than twenty-five persons resii ling in one or in four adjoining-counties , owning collectively prop erty valued at not less than fifty thousand dollars , may form an incorporated company for the purpose of insuring the property of the members against lossby fire , lightning , hail or tornado. These companies cannot do business in cities and towns , the purpose of the act being to confine its operation to farm ers.

An intimate friend of the Hon. James Laird , while in Omaha , the other day , was talking about the polkfes and politicians of the Second congressional district , and among other things he said : " 'Mr. Bostwicif , chairman of the con gressional central committee , made a b.id break some time ago. lie conceived the idea that Laird , who has been sick for several [ months , should be assisted , financially , by his ' friends in the district , so he had circulars | printed stating that Laird hail been very un-j fortunate and under a very heavy expense for j several month' ; , and that his supporters would ! certainly consider it a great pleasure to assist i him in u substantial way. and that any dona- i tious which they might see fit to mako could > be sent to II. Bostwick. of the City National , Bank , Hastings. All the e donations or gifts i would be faithfully accounted for , and with a commute of representative men from , various parts of the district , be ( liostwick ) would pro- sent the entire amount raised in this way to the beniflciary. So far a3 known there was but one response to these circulars , and when some of us who have been standing by Mr. Laird through thick and thin learned of the scheme , we objected strongly. Mr. Laird has friends who will star hi * him without the use of circulars advertising that he is in financial straits. " Commissioners' Proceedings. Indianola , Neb. . March 1st. 18S9.

H We , tho physicians of McCook , have been . H forc to adopt a xkw plan with regard to H our collections for tho following reasons : H 1. < Ye havu found it Impossible to collect H more than a small portion of our accounts. H 2. We have repeatedly found that our bills H have been "left until tiio bust , " and wo Iiavo , H thus frequently been compelled to borrow H money from tho banks to pay our runnlnp H expenses. H -.1. This has been carried to such and ox- H tent thatvu are. forced to stop practice un- H less our patrons appreciate our services in a H more substantial manner. For tho forgoing H reasons be it hereby H ltisoiiViu , That hereafter wo will do H -strictly a casii practice , and whenever any- H one of our patrons becomes delinquent , ho H shall be notified , and unless satisfactory set- H tlemcnt bo made within thirty days thereat- H ter , he shall be put upon the delinquent list.
