Identification comes high sometimes.
Such a simple transaction as that cost J.
A. Wilcox & Son $50 recently. The
slick individual who worked the conf
dence gam: is M. H. Hymar. He for
merly represented the we'll known cloak
and overcoat manufacturer, I. A. Levy Of
New York, but at the time he secured
the money and Mr.. Wilcox's name on a
sight draft for expense money Mr.. Levy
claims he was not in his employ. Hence
MIR. Wilcox has a very small show of re
covering his money. Other merchants
should be on the watch for the rogue.

A woman with a beauty system, "
who is travelling ove the country telling
people how they can become and remain
spectacles of ravishing loneliness, advan-
ces the theory that Laughter should be
with the lips, not with the eyes, lest
wrinkles be formed" Shall those of
you, who for forty or fifty years have
been wrinkling your brows and opening
your mouths and slapping your knees
and otherwise enjoying yourselves, give
in to the silly quicker and shipper of a
beauty promoter and fun destroyer?

Another advertising scheme has bee

Another advertising scheme has been
sprung. Merchants are being visited by
a mar who ~solicits ads for a receipt book
and says he will distribute several thou
sand of them about the city. The mer-
chant who spends his money in this
scheme throws it away. The proper way
to advertise and where it will do the
most good is in your home newspaper.
Money paid to snap advertisers is taken
out of the city while that spent with the
newspaper is left at home and circulated
at home. We advise all merchants to
give the advertising receipt book a cold
shoulder and it will be money in your
pocket.

Complaint has been made at Police
Judge Berry's Office that the colored
courteson who occupies a cote in South
McCook is wont to exhibit her dusky
charms denuded, much to the scandal of
that community. Such outrageously OBJ
scene performances deserve prompt and
effectual action upon the part of the city
officials. Otherwise the indignant and
outraged people ofSouth McCook should
clean out the dirty nest root and branch.

Gage county, one Of Nebraska's richest
and most populous counties, is preparing
to make a strenuous effort to return to
the commissioner system at the coming
election, on the grounds of the expensive
ness and unwieldiness of the supervisor

older and richer counties are trying to
cast of? We believe that the thought
