Better Than a Lottery.
;
The intense interest attendant upon
ftfl'y the drawing of a cash prizefrom a lot-
*
HA tery is proverbial , but a "drawing" of
flfl ) money prizes which came under the edi-
HBf tor's observation , some days since , in
Bf k our own city , is unique in bur local his-
HB I tory and worthy o ( more than passing
Bg I note with our citizens. We refer to the
Hl t maturing of the initial series , better
| S l • known as "A" of the stock of the
fl ft \ McCook Co-operative Building and Sav-
BT v ings association. Notwithstanding the
fl \ several adverse years of panic and finan
fl BC &vv ' cial stringency lately experienced , the
H Hp association has succeeded in making
vK good profits for its persistent stock-bold-
H BBftf ers , as is evidenced by the fact of matur-
HyTity day showing "A" stock in force , ag-
H H'jK pgregating $ tiooo , for the spot cash pay-
I Hj Bf / ment of which the stockholders found
fl fl the association prepared.
fl fl | We understand that to such stock-
Hll > holders as preferred , the association
Hfll granted the privilege of taking "paid
m m m m Mmr up" certificates , drawing interest quar-
H IB ter-yearly at the rate of seven per cent
wW WMm Mft per annum. Illustrative of the profits
mmmmmm % K ( made by the association , it should beob-
H B ft I served that for every dollar withdrawn.
fl \ \ ) in cash the holders of .the stock had paid
B fir in but fifty-nine cents , the balance of
b vE the dollar showing what can be accom-
fl iW plished by an ideal Co-operative associa-
M fg tion , than which there is no better to be
H ifl found than our own. Only an examina-
Ul tion of the association's books can give
BB an adequate idea of the thousands of
1 fl dollars saved absolutely to our more fru-
| II gal class of wage-earners in homes se-
fl flfi fl cured through our local association ,
Bll I while to investors it offers equally desir-
fl fl fl able features , being run at the lowest
1 il B possible expense , subject to examination
I 11 I by lhe state bankinS board > and baving
B HI > by its mutual features , its competent
B III board of directors , and its conservative
H f | 9 and prudent manner of doing business
Bn made for itself an enviable record among
our local financial institutions.
( A new series of stock is now just
opened , and those of our citizens who
1 VI /
I fll \ desire a small monthly payment of from
I hM ji one to ten dollars to be "working for
WWm them whie , lhev sleeP" should not neg-
B Hi fl lect to take stock in this best of all Sav-
H Kl fl/ ings bank , either as investors or pros-
H m AhI y pective home builders. For full particu-

The Flyers to Go.
Commencing February 6 , next Sun
day , the Burlington will restore its fast
through trains , Nos. 1 arid 6 , between
Chicago and Denver. These trains were
run on the Burlinton for several years
and because of excellent equipment and
fast time were better known to the trav
eling public as the "Chicago and Den
ver flyers. " Traffic fell off , however , and
they were discontinued at the close of
the world's fair.
The company has had the question of
restoring these trains under consideration
for several weeks , the result being a semi
official announcement that they would
again be put on early in the spring. The
action of the Northwestern and Union
Pacific roads last week in announcing
the addition of two through trains be
tween the two points mentioned to com
mence February 6 , precipitated matters
with the Burlington , and telegraphic
orders were sent out , Monday , from pas
senger department headquarters in Chicago
cage officially announcing the restoration
of Nos. 1 and 6.
The trains both ways will be run on a
twenty-eight hour schedule the same as
the Northwestern-Union Pacific service ,
but if emergency requires the company
has announced that it is prepared to put
in effect a schedule of four hours less on
both trains.
Train No. 1 , the "Denver flyer , " will
depart from Chicago at 10 a. m. It will
reach Omaha at 11:55 Pni - > Lincoln at
1:2o : a. hi. , McCook at 6:30 a. m. aud Den-
var at 1:30 in the afternoon.
Train No. 6 , the "Chicago flyer , " will
leave Denver at 10 a. m. and arrive in
McCook at 5:22 p. m. and in Chicago at
2:15 the following afternoon. The pas
senger department has not fully deter
mined the time card for No. 6 , but it is
surmised that it will pass through Lin
coln at about 10:30 : p. m. This train will
not run into Omaha , but instead will go
east via the old main line between Ash
land and Plattsmouth.
These trains will be as handsome and
complete in equipment as the Burlington
can make them. They will carry reclin
ing chair cars , sleepers and dining cars ,
and will be wide vestibuled throughout. .
The announcement of the restoration
of Nos. 1 and 6 will be welcomely re
ceived among the trainmen and other
employes of the Burlington. It will re
quire the employment of at least three
additional train crews out of Lincoln and
thus necessitate the promotion of several
conductors and engineers. Among the
latter speculation will be rife as to the
ones most likely to get the new posi
tions. The improvement in the service
will be highly acceptable to the travel
ling public , and altogether the announce
ment will meet with a favorable recep
tion on all sides. Lincoln Journal.

Convention Notes.
The result of the chicken contest will
be given next week.
R. B. Simmons is gratified over the
fact that his White Plymouth Rocks
were the highest scoring birds in the
competition , 94 points.
It is admitted that the scoring and
judging of Mr. Hitchcock were thorough
and impartial. He was surprised to find
so many fine and high-scoring birds.
R. P. High and Bruce Cummings were
over from Lebanon , during Thursday's
sessions.
Among those present from abroad were
W. A. Poynter , vice-president , and W.
H. Dearing , secretary , of the Nebraska
commission of the Trans-Mississipi and
International exposition. These gentle
men were here in the special interest of
the " district exhibit" idea , which should
be taken up and adopted all over the
state , in all those localities where there
is such uniformity and similarity of cli
mate , soil , and production as is the case
in Southwestern Nebraska.
Oliver Thdrgrimson went over to Stock-
yille , Tuesday , on legal business.
J.W. Babcock was up from Cambridge
yesterday afternoon and evening.
The Two Conventions.
Both the Farmers' convention and the
Poultry exhibition held in our city on
Wednesday and Thursday of .this week
were successful and full of instruction.
Many useful facts were given out in the
various lectures , papers and discussions
of the sessions. Doubtless enough was
learned to show the value and import
ance of having these gatherings at least
once a year if not oftener. Like the be
ginnings of all new movements.the work
of building up a successful farmers' in
stitute is slow. It seems to be difficult
to arouse the farmers to any enthusiasm
and interest in them , and the work de
volves upon the few. The poultry people
ple , on the contrary , take hold with a
will , and the interest and attendance at
their exhibition showed the results of
their efforts.
THE FARMERS CONVENE.
The opening session of the Farmers'
convention was held in the opera house
on Wednesday afternoon , and the entire
meeting was taken up in the discussion
of the best methods of raising corn and
wheat in Southwestern Nebraska. In
this discussion there was a wide range of
opinion and practice among the farmers ,
quite a number of whom took an active
part in the discussion. Deep and shal
low plowing , surface cultivation , sub-
soiling and surface packing , and various
methods of conserving the moisture were
reported , together with the various ex
periences and results attained. The ses
sion was lively and stirred up quite an
interest , which is always the result when
the practical work-a-day farmers come
together and talk these matters over
among themselves. The evening session
was turned over to the poultry people ,
who made good use of the time as fol
lows :
THE POULTRY PEOPLE'S SESSION.
On Wednesday evening the Poultry
people were in charge of the meeting ,
and there was a fair attendance at the
opera house on that occasion. Mrs. Nel
lie Hawks delivered the principal ad
dress of the evening , on the sublect of
poultry raising , in which she showed the
possibilities of money-making in that
line by the housewife , dwelling upon the
fact that the wife could thus be quite fin
ancially independent. The address was
full of good advice and interest. Mrs.
William Byfield , of Red Willow , read a
paper on the raising of ducks , which was
well received , and was one of the most
interesting features of the session. Sec
retary J. S. LeHew then gave a historical
sketch of the association , its organiza
tion , aims and purposes. Secretary Dear
ing , of the Nebraska commission of the
Omaha exposition , described the state
building at the exposition grounds , and
explained how the exhibits would be ar
ranged at the great fair. This closed the
regular program of the evening. The
music by the public school choir was a
pleasing feature of the evening.
THURSDAY'S SESSIONS.
Increased attendance and better inter
est marked the sessions of Thursday. In
the morning the convention selected
Messrs. Belles , Parsons , Ewing , Somers ,
Quick , and Hasty , as a committee to for
mulate a plan for organizing this sena
torial district into an association for the
purpose of making a district exhibit at
Omaha , and the rest of the session was
taken by them in their deliberations.
Grain and corn raising was generally
discussed in the opening of the afternoon
session. Dr. Peters spoke on Animal
Diseases ; W. A. Poynter , of the Omaha
exposition. The Southwestern Nebraska
Exposition Commission was then formed
as follows for the purpose of carrying
out the idea of making a district exhibit
at Omaha next summer during the expo
sition : President , Stephen Belles ; Sec
retary , C. F. Babcock , McCook ; Vice-
Presidents , J. A. Robinson , Danbury ; C.
S. Jones , Trenton ; D. S. Hasty , Arapa
hoe ; Mr. Downer , Arapahoe ; L. Morse ,
Benkelman ; James Burke , Imperial ; L.
M. Graham , Stockville ; G. M. Potter ,
Hayes Center ; and these with the com
missioners of the counties of the 29th
senatorial district compose the commis
sion.

At the evening session E. F. Stephens
of the Crete Nurseries spoke on Horti
culture and Forestry. Supt. Wm. Val
entine of the McCook public schools de
livered an address on the Education of
the Farmer Boy. And Dr. Peters made
a brief plea for the agricultural college of
the state university. Music by the school
choir.
CLOSED LAST NIGHT.
The chicken show closed last night ,
and it remains to be said that their first
annual exhibition exceeded all expecta
tions of the members and was a reve
lation to the public , in the number of
birds shown , the number of breeds ex
hibited , and the high excellence of the
birds in the contest.
