A Woman at the Bottom of 1t.

Although Silcott family live in thi.
city he did not seem to make any effort
10 disguise his relations with a woman
known as Louise Barrett, whom he had
met at house of ill-fame here. On this
woman he lavished all sorts of luXuries
and she is believed to have been the
principal cause of his disgrace. The
Barrett woman cannot be found and it is
believed that she is with Silcott. She is
a French Canadian and lived in Wash.
ington three years. Silcott recently took
her from the house of ill-fame where
they met.

LINCOLN LETTER.

Attorney Morlan was a Capitol visitor, on
Thursday, the 21st inst.
Miss Ashmore came in from McCook, Mon
day, and is employed in legislative work.
Supt. A. Campbell and Hon. Geo. HocknelI
were visible to the naked eye, about the Capt.
tol, on Wednesday,.
The gentleman from Jefferson Mr.. Baker,
is losing the influence that characterized the
early part of his legislative career. While he
persistently denies any coalition with the lob
by, his vote always agrees with that much de-
tested adjunct to the legislative body.
Members of the legislature who have never
said a word nor entertained an idea before.
have suddenly developed Patrick Henry
prOclivities, upon the appearance of the ap-
preparation bill. While it is perfectly legiti-
mate for a member to max a RECORD, it is
also quite evident that his constituency would
have been better pleased had he shaken off his
lethargy, and shown that he was present be-
fore the end OF the chapter.
H. R. II, the Australian ballot bill, which
passed the House after a prolonged and holly
contested struggle, met its death in the Senate
by indefinite postponement.' This was one of
the best, if not the best, bills introduced in the
Legislature during the session, and the Senate
has exhibited exceedingly deficient judgment
in defeating it. Never has there been a law
that would more completely prevent fraud
than H. r. II would nave done, had it been
enacted. Electors who desire an honest and
fair count would do well to remember the
gentlemen who cast their vote against this
measure. SMART.

Our Plan.

We, the physicians of McCook, have been
force 70 adopt a NEW PLAN with regard to
our collections for the following reasons:
/. Ne have found it impossible TO collect
more han a small portion of our accounts.
2. We have repeatedly found that our bills
have been "left until the last" and we have
thus frequently been compelled to borrow
money from the banks to pay our running
expenses.
3. This has been carried to such and ex-
tent that we are forced to stop practice UNI
less our patrons appreciate our services in q
more substantial manner. For the foregoing
reasons be it hereby
RESOLVED, That hereafter we will do
strictly a cash practice. and whenever any
n Of our patrons becomes delinquent, he
shall be notified, and unless satisfactory set
Element be made within thirty days thereaf-
ter, he shall be put npon the delinquent list.
RESOLVED, That all accounts now on our
books shall become delinquent. on Feb. 20,
1883, unless satisfactorily settled before that
date.
RESOLVED, That we mutually pledge our
selves to refuse to answer all calls from those
found on the delinquent list.

Keep Pushing.

The spring will witness thousands of new
settlers come into Nebraska. They are COM
ing from all parts of the east, from the north
and from the south. They expect to make
their future homes in agricultural Nebraska
one of the best states in the union. Kansas
has her drouths, Dakota her blizzards-Nebras-
ka her equable climate, her sunshine and her
prolific soil. ALI these things induce the farm
er to come to our state. And as the state in
creases in population the commercial interests
of McCook are accordingly enhanced. For
this reason THE TRIBUNE shall continue to
urge upon every individual citizen the neces-
slty of upbuildiDg the city. We need whole
sale establishments; manufacturing enter
prises; more e%nterprising and progressive
citizens. When these come there is a demand
for mechanics and more laboring men to oper-
ate and place in motion the wheels of machin-
cry and to assist III building the houses. And
this spring is the time to start anew the wheels
of progress which have caused McCook to
grow from an unpretentious village to a
promising little city of busy life. Let the
citizens push their town and call to the atten-
ton of the man who desires to locate all of
our Il advantages. Every man of us must be
loyal and aIert-and the result is not to be
questioned.

LAIRD IMPROVING.

There has been a very decided change for
the better within the past two days in the
condition of Congressman Laird, and the fears
that his recovery would not be speedy are no
longer entertained. DIR. Sewer, his physician,
who has been in constant attendance on Mr..
Laird, said this morning: MIR. Laird is on
the road to recovery, and there is no good rea-
son to believe that he will not have a rapid
convalescence. His trouble has been one
largely of nop-assimilation of food. This ma
turally had a very depressing effect upon his
system, and his depression of spirits and bodi-
ly weakness have been the natural results.
During the past two days there has been q
great Improvement manifested in his case,
and 1 see no reason to doubt that he will fully
recover long before the opening of the. next
session of congress. All that ne needs TO- is
a little rest and quiet and freedom from the
harrassments of office-seekers. The rumOrs,
which 1 understand haye been spread through
out Nebraska, that Mr.. Laird has been suffer-
ing from threatened sOftening of the brain,
are absolutely without foundation. There is
not, nor has there ever been, in my judgment,
any symptoms of mental trouble, aside from
the natural effect of his chronic dyspepsia.
He is to-day in better spirits than he has been
for months, and 1 consider him on the high
road to recovery" A friend of Mr.. Laird to-
night said that he had been much hurt by the
reports in the western papers that his case
was a hopeless one and that he would not be
able to attend to the business of his district.
Mr.. Laird, he said, will within a few weeks be
able to attend to all questions of appoint
ments in person. He has already been in fire.
Quent consultation with the members of the
Nebraska delegation, and has expressed his
views and been fully consulted as TO the policy
to be adopted in the distribution of patronage.
1t is only now important that he should be al
lowed a little rest before taking mp again the
burden of patronage and daily business

wheel, when the father started the team, un-
knowingly, with above result. Drs. Davis
and Kay replaced the fracture, and the young
man will be in shape, in a few weeks, to
