Nursery agents are active this seaso

NurScry agents are acGlVe GnlS season
each claiming to represent the best
nursery. In choosing which to pur-
chase from, it is we'll to remember that
the Crete Nurseries, Crete, Neb., are
located on the main line of the B. & NJ.
R. r., only few hours from our doors.
They have by far the largest nursery in
the state; they offer of their own growth
one hundred and twenty acres of trees
and plants suited to Nebraska. They
employ at this time over forty hands
and pay over one thousand dollars
monthly for labor. This money is kept
in circulation in the state. They are
within reach and compelled by ordinary
business prudence to have stock true to
name. Working their agents on salary
instead of commission, they can sell
cheaper than other nurseries, running
men on commission. They have been
in the business at Crete twelve years
and can point to hundreds of fine bear
ing orchards planted from their trees.
Our readers should notice their offer in
another column to those who will pur-
chase one hundred dollars or more, Civ
ing free ride to the nursery and back.
The wagon road between McCook and
lndianola about discounts the tortuous
passages of the ancient catacombs. You
proceed short distance, when you strike

some other convenient article in the
neighborhood you will probably be able
to decipher and translate the following
suggestive very suggestive - sign
"CLOSED." Well you turn down
into some perilous guile, and proceed
a short distance on the even tenor of
your way, when like experience is met
with, and so until you approach the
and from there on the road is
good. Not only is the travelling pub
lie interested in having half respecta-
bic road from McCook to Red Willow,
but our business men are greatly inter-
ested, and steps should be taken at
once to straighten out the miserable
COW path that now goes under the dig
nifed title of road, and put the same in
repair. If the public are infringing on
personal rights along the road, have the
road established by the County Com
and, if, on the other hand,
parties are obstructing the public high
way, have that matter settled. What
ever the cause of the present miserable
road leading to the county-seat from
this point may be, the fact of its out
condition remains. and it ought
to be remedied.

CHICAGO, H., Feb. 2.-The Com roll

that 600 saloons would take out $500 Ii.

900 saloons altogether will take out license
under the Harper law-that 600 will sell

The law is a bid for fraud"
Won't 1t be enforced?'
"How can it bey I have seen such
things before, and because Of that made my
figures. Suppose you and 90 into sa.
loon 70 watch aud we see man drink out
Of bottle, we can't swear he drank whs-
Ky unless we taste It. This law cannot be
enforced without the expenditure Of about
as much as the license will come to. An
army OF men would have to be employed to
watch, and the chances are that most
OF them would be In caho OF with the sa.

"How did you get at the 6O0P'
~ thought that there would be that
number OF saloons that would be forced to
take out 800 icense-prominent places,

whose proprietors would not attempt fraud.

A BARRIsTERY BATTLE.
Two Lawyers Engage In . Lively MilI
With Words and Ftsts,

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-That some mem.
bers Of the bar can spar physically o. we'll
as orally was demonstrated In an ants.room
attached to Judge Barrett's court. The
examination Of the bondsmsn In the case Of
Bstz vs.. Moore OF al, for alleged con-
spiracy to defraud 10 connection with the
Bauer & Betz brewery suit, was being con.
Quoted by Mr., Samuel Underwood for
plaintiff and Mr.. George Il. Armstrong for
defendants. Mr.. Ryner, Of the Hotel St.
Stephen, and W. j. Moore are the bonds
men, and they were being
examined. These, together with the
counsel in the case and o stenographer,
were alone in tho room, the examination
being secret one. MIR. Ryder, who had
under examination, and at 8 o. clock Judge
Barrett sent word to the counsel that his
examination must be concluded. His In.
structions were compiled with, and the
second bondsman, Mr.. Moore, was placed
on the stand for examination, the ques.
tiouing being done by Mr.. Undermeyer.
The examination proceeded for consider
able length Of time
TO THE SATISFACTION OF ALL
concerned, although there were frequent
squabbles between Mr.. Undermeyer and
Mr.. Armstrong. Then Mr.. Under.
meyer piled Mr.. Moore with
two questions In succession without al
lowing him to answer the first. Mr.. Arm.
strong objected. He told cor.
respondent afterwards tbat Mr.. Under
meyer turned sharply and said: ''You
object, do you, you thief!' and struck
him. Mr.. Armstrong threw up his right
arm to ward off the blow and countered
sharply on Mr.. Undermeyer's nose, and
followed up The blow with another that
caused Mr.. Undermeyer to fee from the
room. He ran to Judge Donohue's room
and complained that he had been assaulted
by Mr.. Armstrong. Judge Donohue re.
piled in kindly accents that he was indeed
sorry, but did not see that he was to blame,
and said that as the affair really took plsce
under the auspices Of Judge Barrett, com.
plant should be lodged with him. Mr..
Undermeyer then hied away In search of
Judge Barrett, and his honor will adjudi.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 1.-The Post-Dspatch,

o hear a pirate attempting to prove TO

or to any dramatic publisher, that matter
that had been once published is public

their Western connections. The Commas

Of proof OF rate cutting, to make sched-
ue rate as low as the lowest cut rate. 1t
is understood that the Baltimore and
Ohio is prepared to present proof In sup
port of its charges. The last charge of the
kind, coupled with request that the
penalty Of reduced schedule rates be en-.
forced, was made by the New York Gem
trail. But that time the committee en-.
deavored to shirk the responsibility OF re-
ducing the schedule upon the commission.

direct him specifically to enforce the pool

force about week, when, after the usual
lecture by the commissioner, the members
of the Joint Executive Committee made the

understood that the Baltimore and Ohio

were received on Thursday
