The following communication from
Supt. of schools Valentine was read:
McCooK. Neb., April rs, 1894.
To the Honorable Mayor and Common
Council of the City of McCook:-
I beg leave to call your affection to
the provisions of city ordinance No. 81
in regard to contagious diseases. Acting
upon vague, uncertain, but none the less
alarming rumors Recommended that the
board close the South McCook school
ann have no means of obtaining accur-
ate information concerning the health
iu that section. If I am correctly in
formed Section IS, I6 and II of above
mentioned ordinance are being disre-
garded and thereby great risk of con-
tagion is incurred by our children. 1
respectfully request that prompt, deci-
sive and adequate means be employed to
prevent the spreading of pestilence in
this community.
Your obedient servant,
VIM. VALENTINE.

The Parsons Picture Stopped the
Marriage.

SEDALIA, Mo-, April 2o.-The Rev.
A. W. Putney. Of Palisade, Hitchcock
county, Neb., a minister Of the Christian
denomination, is stranded here under
peculiar circumstances. A month ago
the Rev. Mr.. Putney advertised in a
Chicago matrimonial paper for a wife,
describing himself as a young minister,
well-to-do and desiring to have a wife
who could love and assist him in the
labors Of his vineyard.
The description Of his personality was
a glowing one and three Sedalia young
women, in a spirit Of fun, foolishly
agreed to correspond with him. One
was selected as the amanuensis and she
did the work so well that Rev. Mr..
Putney fell desperately in love.
He forwarded his photograph and the
youngwoman ended the correspondence.
Mr.. Putney wrote to her again and in
| closed his letter in a registered envelope,
setting forth that he would go crazy if
his love was not requited. Receiving
no further answer he left Palisade and
came to Sedalia, arriving several days
ago. He was unable to locate his sup.
posed true love, however, and in the
mean time had expended his supply O.
cash and vas left penniless. Yesterdayhs
applied to the city for assistance, wher
he related his story, and will be fur
nished transportation a portion of tn,
way home.-Denver Sun.

REDUCTIONS THAT.
Do Not Reduces!
~>So~

1t is a practice, unfortunately too fire.
|quent, for dealers to make fictitious and
fanciful prices on goods as a basis for reduc-
ton and a text for advertising. Positive

The remedy for this humbug is with

Lincoln business men who are watch
ing their chances for entering new terri
tory are much interested at this time
over the prospects of the extension of the
Burlington's northwest line. Over a year
ago the Burlington let a contract to Kill
patrick Bros. Of Beatrice and it is now
reported on good authority that the road
is to be extended 40 miles beyond the
present terminus to Billings, Montana,
on the main line of the Northern Pacific.
This extension is included in the old
contract of fitzpatrick Bros, and the re-
port is that work is to be resumed with
out delay, and that negotiations are
pending with sub-contractors for the
completion of the work within a few
months. As the extension will give an
outlet for Lincoln wholesalers to Mon
tana points and means a competitive
line to the Pacific coast by means of a
connection of the Burlington and the
Northern Pacific, the project is of great
interest to commercial men of this city.
