We predict that Mr. Allen will fill the office with ability and do credit to the great state of Ne braska. He is a hale fellow well met and has the happy faculty of making friends wherever he goes. The people of Red Cloud are pleased to congratu late Mr. Allen on his success. Chief. The annual meeting of the McCook Club was held on Saturday evening last , and the following board of directors was elected : George Hocknell , J. E. Kelley , B. B. Davis , C. W. Knights , T. G.

Business of import ance to be transacted. The "Cheerful Doers" tpke this medium of expressing their thanks for the liberal patronage accorded their sup per , last Friday evening. The attendance upon our public schools reached the 539 mark , the first of the week. The largest enrollment , last year , was 497. Supt. Valentine reports a remarkably low percentage of absences and tardiness. The slight-of-haud performances giv en by Prof. Heller , Tuesday and Wed nesday evenings , attracted fair audiences to the Menard. The professor is an artist in his line and his entertainments were quite satisfactory. The W. R. C. and S. of V. social in Meeker hall , Tuesday evening , was a splendid success. The attendance was unusually large , and a social season of a rich and juicy character was enjoyed. The supper was in keeping and was well patronized. The promoters are to be * congratulated upon the roseate outcome. The oyster supper given by the young folks of the Society of Cheerful Doers in the Morlan building , last Friday evening , for charitable purposes , was a very pleasant and successful affair social ly and financially. The public accord ed them a liberal patronage and the net results from the supper and from the sale of articles displayed are satisfac tory indeed , and encouraging to those whose efforts were faithfully directed to that desired end. A card from Prof.Nicholson , director of the state university experiment sta tion , announces that an analysis made by him of some sugar beets raised by W. S. Fitch , of the South Side , gave 13 per cent , sugar. THE TRIBUNE con siders the result particularly worthy of mention in view of the unfavorableness of the season. The beet seeds were planted about mid-June and for lack of moisture made no appearance until late in July , The beets only received ordin ary cultivation. It is evidence that Red Willow county can produce sugar beets of greatest sugar producing qual ity under regular conditions. Perforce of the low price of farm products , last year , and of the almost total failure of crops , this season , the farmers are undeniably in severely straightened circumstances in western Nebraska , and help will be , is needed. Believingin the principle of self-help , and anticipating a small acreage , next season , if seeds are not provided free to the farmer , THE TRIBUNE suggests that the commissioners of Red Willow county can do much toward obviating this undesirable probability by furnish ing the necessary seeds for the ensuing spring planting. The plan is being considered by other counties , and is reasonable and feasible withal. The results will be mutual. The emergency warrants and demands it. The postoffice department has issued the following order : "The law plainly forbids the transmission through the mails of any newspaper containing an advertisement or notice of a lottery or any game of chance , no matter whether it is for personal profit or for the pro motion of the cause of Christianity. All such things are forbiden , and the officers of the department have no op tion whatever. We have simply to carry out the will of congress , and if anyone is injured thereby congress must bear the blame instead of the department. If we go to discriminating in favor of this or that or the other scheme , we will lay ourselves open to criticism im mediately. The people will begin to understand the matter pretty soon. There is no possibility of misunder standing. " We warrant every sack of our "flour. POTTER ' & EASTERDAY. McCOOK BENEVOLENT SOCIETY. Pursuant to call the ladies of the city met in the Meeker hall , Monday afternoon , and formed an organization for charitable purposes , which will be known as the McCook Benevolent So ciety.

As a matter of justice to myself 1 have somewhat to oifer in regard to letters written by me during the past crop growing season and published in the Iowa Homestead and Prairie Farmer. It is claimed that corn was in much worse condition when these letters appeared than they stated. The fact is , corn was in the condition the letters stated at the time they were written , but they were not published until about four weeks after. For instance a letter written the first week in July stated , "We have seldom seen a more flattering prospect for a large yield { of corn than at present. " Npw that was the case at that time as every farmer knows , but the letter was not published until in August , and the date of the letter omitted , when the corn was very different. As the letter had been held back so long and the condition of the crops so changed , 1 requested the editor to not publish it , but it came out in the next issue and corn was in a much worse condi tion then than when the letter was written. An item relating to crops , written for the Gazette , was held two weeks and I specially requested it be not published , but it appear ed in the next issue. No one felt more mor tified over it than myself , for a great change had taken place in regard to crops in these three weeks. Another thing 1 want to speak of. It has been intimated that I have made a big thing out of the County Agricultural Society. Dur ing the first year I was president 1 spent 317.50 more than 1 received , and about three weeks time for which I received nothing. The second year I was out § 3.45 and about three weeks time. The present year I am out 313.33 and two weeks time. None of the officers receive anything for their time except the secretary , and lie gets 375 per year and twelve and a half per cent , of all the advertisements he solicits and collects , that appear in the premium lists.

A nice rain the evening of the 10th inst and the winter crops respond to the influence of ever welcome moisture that we have been hoping for so much. OBSEBVER. Twenty-three trains , Monday.
