LFrom Tho Hustings Democrat. ]
Superintendent Campbell and Hon. Geo.
Hocknoll , of McCook. were in the city Monday
evening. It is suspected that Mr. Campbell
was negotiating to carry the bnggago for Dr.
Cook , upon bis proposed European trip. Both
gentlemen went on east.
While in McCook tho othor day wo wero
shown jroofs that tho machine shops are go
ing In. Improvements are going on , on every
hand , and the "hope of tho Valloy" Is forging
her way onward.
Tho best advices from Washington aro to the
effect { hat Congressman Laird is gaining
ground every day and will soon bo able to at-
tend to his duties. Tho Democrat is glad to
hear it. Accompanying tho above advices
comes the declaration from him that his politi
cal friouds ( ? ) in this moral vineyard , who havo
been preaching his obituary tho past four
months , had better crawl into their holo. Ho
proposes to make them dance , and will do tho
fiddling himself. Jim can do it , too.
The Second congressional district , the Dem
ocrat has information , will demand tho ap
pointment to office of Hon. Ben. S. Baker , of
Fairbury , to be U.S. district attorney ; Sena
tor Lindsay , of Beaver City , will be register ,
and Dr. S. L. Green , of McCook , will bo re
ceiver of the U. S. land office at McCook. If
President narrison makes these appointments
they will be heartily endorsed. From a per
sonal acquaintance with tho men , we can say
that they are competent men , strong republi
cans and gentlemen.
Chas. II. Paul and wife returned from Wash
ington Inst Wednesday. Mr. Paul reports Mr.
Laird as much improved in health. He eats
hearty food and properly digests It. During
the hist two weeks ho has dictated a large
number of letters and is looking after the in
terests of his constituency. Mr. Paul says
there Is no doubt of Mr. Laird's ultimate re
covery.
[ From The Benkleman Pioneer. ]
On last fourth of July what purported to be
a rebel Hug was Hung to tho breeze from the
McCook land office , and created considerable
excitement for u time. The Pioneer was in
formed , on what we considered good authority
that the manifestation was instigated by non.
S. P. Hart , register of the land office , and we
scored Mr. Hart for tho same in a way that
was only befitting the occasion and the enor
mity of tho offense , had he been guilty as was
charged. Wo have since learned to a certain
ty that upon the occasion referred to Mr. Hart
was not in McCook and knew nothing of the
occuranbe until his return .several days there
after. It is evident from this fact that the
Pioneer did Mr. Hart an injustice. Having
unintentionally wronged a fellow being , it
would be cowardly to neglect to make repara
tion upon becoming convinced of that wrong.
It therefore , gives us pleasure to state tho
facts in the case , and to add that since becom
ing acquainted with the gentleman we are
convinced that he would not stoop to commit
the folly that was laid at his door. We have
found Mr. Hart to bo an affable and kindly
gentleman , with whom it is a pleasure to asso
ciate , and it is the universal testimony of all
who have transacted business in person at the
McCook land office , that the gentlemen in
charge have treated them with uniform kind
ness and courtesy.
[ From The Akron Star. ]
Mrs. J. A. Cordeal returned to McCook ,
Thursday , after sev.eral days visit witn the
Tribune family at this place.
General Manager Holdrege , of the B. & M. ,
has bought the south half of section 16-2 f sj , at
§ 6 per acre. This land is located one mile
south of Akron and joins his timber claim on
the west. Tho gentleman's faith in the dirt of
this vicinity is not perceptibly on the wane.
[ Bird CityKas. ( ) Democrat. ]
M. C. Maxwell , of McCook , Neb. , was here
last week looking at some of the Cheyenne
couuty real estate. He was well pleased with
tho rich soil and the beautiful lay of the land ,
that , in all probability , he will invest in a
quarter section and thus lay the foundation
for future wealth and prosperity.

A Few Good Postofffce Rules.
If you have a lock box go to the postofflce
without the key.
After getting your mail inquire if there is
'
something more.
If you get a Wells , Fargo money order go to
the postofflce to get it cashed.
If you want a money order or postal note
ask the postmaster for a postal order.
It you do not get your mail when you expect
it , ask the postmaster when she will arrive.
When people are waiting for their mail , get
in thewindow and chin the postmaster half an
hour on how to distribute mail. He will ap
preciate it. ,
If you have half a dozen children send them
all to tho postofflce for the mail , as it is a great
comfort to the postmaster to look over the
mail for them in turn as they arrive.
CONSUMPTION CURABLE ?
Read the following : Mr. J. H. Morris , New
ark , Ark. , s&ys : "Was down wih Abscess of
Lungs , and friends and physicians pronounced
me an Incurable Consumptive. Began taking
Dr. King's 'New Discovery for onsumptinn ,
am now on my third bottle , and able to over
see the work on my farm. It is the finest
medicine ever made. "
Jesse Middleware , Decatur. Ohio , says :
"Had it not been for Dr. King's New Discovery
for Consumption I would have died of Lung
troubles. Was given up by doctors. Am ow
in best of health. " Try it. Sample bottles
free , at A.McMillen's drug store.
