ne N wP/any1
The Gazette man in champloninir the cnuso
of tho physicians of McCook says , "Tho physi
cians nro pursuiug tho ovon tonor of their
way , doing their duty in every case. "
Now if it is a fact that thoy aro doing their
duty , then Mr. Carson , ( whoso article appeared
in TnE Tribune a few weeks ago ) failed woe
fully in his.
When Mr. Ncttleton called upon him to go
for tho doctor bo should bavo Insisted on a
cash advance or ample security before even
leaving his bed. Then after finding that ho
could not secure tho services of a physician
without cash or an ironclad note , should have
returned to Mr. Ncttleton and had himself se
cured boforo entering into auy contract with
tho doctor.
The fact that Mrs. Ncttleton was liable to
die , while all this red tape was being manu-
factuied , ( being a secondary consideration )
should not have been allowed to cut any flguro
in tho case until tho money part of the busi
ness wns satisfactorily settled.
It may be , however , that thero is an under
lying truth in the Gazette's remarks , as it is a
fact thatslnco tho adoption of "Our New Plan"
the undertaking business of McCook has been
gradually falling off. Thero is some sickness
and occasionally a death , but where the patient
is possessed of a reasonably good constitution
and a clear conscience , having nothiugto con
tend with but tho disease , ho Invariably re
covers. Of tho deaths , a few have means at
hand to secure tho services of a physician who
will cheek them off according to law and the
rules of refined society , but those whom pov
erty compels to dispenso with all superfluous
luxuries must be content with tho verdict ,
"Died a natural death for want of proper med J.
cal attention" of a coroner's jury , and letitho
county pay the bill. *
In the conclusion , I would suggest a change
of professional title for the doctors of Mc
Cook , the "M.D. "being too indefinite. "Money
Down" may mean cash in advance or pay
when the work is done. But C.S.I. A. ( cash
strictly in advance ) would admit of no such
misconstruction. • S. C. *

GENERAL ITEMS.
o
It is astonishingly sad and nevertheless true ,
a very small percentage of the population of
our beautiful and promising city attend relig
ious worship on Sunday.
We aro sorry to lose our most esteemed
neighbor. Dr. Demay , who will remove for the
present to Cedar Bluffs and go East In the fall.
He has rented both of bis claims. Our best
wishes for a bright and prosperous future
will follow the Doctor in his new Held of ac
tivity.
The rain has filled all hearts with joy , and
especially that of the farmera , to whom it is a
very important factor in the matter of crop
raising. But while the farmer is raising pro
duce , lei us encourage the establishment
among uso of industries which will open a
good and profitable outlet for that produce.
Plenty of capital lying idle in the east , which
might find a very promising field for invest
ment in manufacturing enterprises.
Soon the citizens of McCook will be called
upon to fill vacancies in the city offices and
school. Let all unite upon good men ; and in
the question of school matters the greatest
care should be had to select school officers and
teachers who will promote the intellectual
culture of our young population in a way un
surpassed by any other city west of Lincoln.
How sad it is to see so much ignorance around
us amid such schools as we have in this great
country education in the right way is power ,
prosperity and happiness , but'ignorance is.
weakness , misery and sin. The pulpit is the
last place where it should appear , and yet how
much of it is in our country churches.

IS CONSUMPTION CURABLE ?
Read the following : Mr. J. H. Morris , New
ark , Ark. , says : "Was down with Abscess of
Lungs , and friends and physicians pronounced
me an Incurable Consumptive. Began taking
Dr. King's New Discovery for on3umption ,
am now on my third bottle , and able to ovei-
seo tho work on my farm. It is the finest
medicine ever made. "
• lessc Middleware , Decatur. Ohio , says :
"Had it not been for Dr. King's New Dscovery
for Consumotion I would have died of Lung
troubles. Was given up by doctors. Am now
in best of health. " Try it. Sample bottles

Mr. L. VanDelinder was an interested listen

The excellence of Wm. Hanlein's speech is
the talk of thetown.
C. T. Brewer , of McCook , was present at the

G. W. Gricnier is hero making arrangements

And again it is a girl , and Rev. Boswell goes
around calling himself Papa just to hear how
it will sound.
The hall was so crowded , last Friday even
ing , that some of the people could not get in
and had to go home.
On last Friday evening , at College Hall , was
held a joint discussion between members of
the High School at IndianoUund the Hermes-
ian society at Bnrfl , ey ! The question ui-der

of Greater use to an Orator than Art. " The de-
bators from "Indianola having the choice
chose the negative and were represented by
Messrs. Goddard and JMcKillip and Misses
Welborn and Wilcox. The Hermc'ian was re-
preseiifd by Messrs. Han'ein , Unckfer and
Piper and Miss C. Alley. The welcome ad
dress by Miss Lena Beck was a beautiful pro
duction am' well presented. After singing by
the Herraesian , prayer was offered bv Rev.
Chapln of Cambridge , followed by music , af
ter which the debate was formally opened by
Wm. Hanleln. The speeches all bore evidence
of thoughtful preparation mid were well de
livered. The judges after careful deliberat ir n
gave their verdict in favor of tho affirmative.
After the debate tho audience wus entertained
