UsoUEBAUaH.-Jim Nealy of Ben
kelman came down, Monday, to do the
city, ard after drawing 81 ,035 from the
Citizens Bank, proceeded to get most
gloriously full of coffin varnish, with
the above object in view. Just as mo-
lasses attracts flies, so does man with
plenty of money and in a beastly state
of intoxication draw to him the dead
beats, bummers, tin-horn gamblers and
men of like ilk. So in a very short
time jim resources had been dimin-
ishedin one way and another about
5000, and had not a good Samaritan
taken him in tow about supper time on
Monday evening, there is no telling how
much of the 81 900 he would have had
by morning. just such miserable, weak
specimens of humanity need some pro-
tectien by the law and from the sharks,
who are always numerous and ready to
take stranger in.

Tuesday morning, the confidence men,
gamblers, dead beats, bummers, and the
entire saloon element of this town, en-
tered the field with great confidence
and braggadocia. and through the neg
ligence and indiffe renee of the business
men of our town, almost criminal in
difference, they succeeded in accom-
plishing their purpose-running the
village election. This is the first time
in the history of this town, that such
an element ever dared step in and die
tate, and the success with which they
met turned their heads, in so much that
W. NJ. Lewis, through the advice of an
attorney, who knew better, but who ev-
identity, had become dry, opened up his
saloon to the excited hoodlums, in d.
rect violation of the law. But the trans
ition from the house of rejoicing to the
house of lamentation, is not always
long, and this violation will meet with
a punishment that will cool the trans
gressors ardor completely. And fur
Their, the effects of this suppositious
victory for this element have been such
as to arouse the people to a realization
of the true interests of the town, and
the various establishments that have
fourished in our midst since the town
was established will feel the strong arm
of the law-long outraged with impuni-
ty. We believe our people are not only
determined to route out the confidence
men and gamblers, but DESTROY THE
NESTS, and in this event the scamps
will have no places in which to work
their nefarious schemes. We have great
reason to hope that this dose of hood
lumism will prove the very stimulant
our village authorities and people need.
So stand from in under.

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees
held Saturday night, the finances of
the village were investigated, all bills
allowed, and warrants therefor ordered
issued. Well on to $500 have been ex-
pended in crossings and on our streets
by the present board, and although
the expenses consequent upon the Or
ganization of a village and putting the
same in working order have been neces-
sarily heavy, the village of McCook, we
are proud to say, is in excellent condi-
ton financially. The amount now ow-
ing by the corporation in excess of means
to meet obligations does not exceed
s165; and as but little more than
half of the levy has been received from
the County Treasurer, the above amount
now owing ought shortly to be paid,
and doubtless will be. Although the
present Board of Trustees has not en-
forced the ordinances of our village as
rigidly as we had hoped they would,
they have been careful guardians of the
finances of the same, and have succeed
ed beyond our expectations in the mat
ter of improvements in streets and cross
inss No town in the state is in better
condition, and none of its age can
boast of better pavements, crossings, etc.

was rendered throughout in manner
very gratifying to those parents and

matter of education, upon which the
safety and perpetuity Of our grand COM
monwealth depends. The children
demonstrated willingness and earnest
ness in their work that speaks we'll for
those who have had charge of them
during the past term. When children
become interested and are naturally led
to study and application, half the bat
tie of education is comprised. We will
not take tie space necessary to speak

up the program as an entirety, in say
ing that all present were well satisfied
with the progress evinced by the schol-
