Better Than a Lottery.

The intense interest attendant upor
the drawing of a cash prize from lot
terry is proverbial, but drawing" o
money prizes which came under the edi
tors observation, some days since, in
our own city, is unique in our local his
tory and worthy Of more than passing
note with our citizens. We refer to the
maturing of the initial series, better
known as series "a" Of the stock of the
McCook Cooperative Building and Saw
ings association. Notwithstanding the
several adverse years of panic and finan
cial stringency lately experienced. the
association has succeeded i'll making
good profits for its persistent stock-hold'
ers. as is evidenced by the fact of matur-
ity day showing "a" stock in force, ag'
gregating $rI 900. for the spot cash pay
ment of which the stockholders found
the association prepared.
We understand that to such stock
holders as preferred, the association
granted the privilege of taking "paid
up' certificates, drawing interest quar-
ter-yearly at the rate of seven per cent
per annum. Illustrative of the profits
made by the association, it should be OBJ
served that for every dollar Withdrawn
in cash the holders of the stock had paid
in but fifty-nine cents. the balance OF
the dollar showing what can be accom-
plished by an ideal Cooperative associa-
ton, than which there is no better to be
found than our own. Only an examina-
ton of the associations books can give
an adequate idea of the thousands ol
dollars saved absolutely to our more fru-
gal class of wage-earners in homes Sc
cured through our local association,
while to investors it offers equally deslr-
able features, being run at the lowest
possible expense, subject to examination
by the state banking board, and having
by its mutual features, its competent
board of directors, and its conservative
and prudent manner of doing business
made for itself an enviable record among
our local financial institutions.
A new series of stock is now just
opened. and those of our citizens who
desire small monthly payment of from
one to ten dollars to be working for
them while they sleep" should not neg
lect to take stock in this best of all Saw.

pective home builders. For full partlcu

The Lady Maccabees gave ''fare-
WE'LL" last week, in their lodge rooms.
in honor of Mrs 7. "A. Erb of Akron who
recently reno we'd from our city. Re
freshments were served. Mrs. Erb was
given set of souvenir (McCook) after
coffees as remembrance of the pleasant
occasion.
The Pensioners of St. Adams Epis-
copal church held an informal "fare-
well' in the chapel, last evening, in honor
of the rector, Rev. R. A. Russell, who is
soon to leave for other fields of labor.
Rev. Russell is an enthusiastic and de-

The Flyers to Go.

Commencing February 6. next Sun
day, the Burlington will restore its fast
through trains, Nos. and 6, between
Chicago and Denver. These trains were
run on the Burlinton for several years
and because of excellent equipment and
fast time were better known to the trav-
cling public as the "Chicago and Den
yer flyers" Traffic fell off, however, and
they were discontinued at the close oi
the worlds fair.
The company has had the question OF
restoring these trains under consideration
for several weeks, the result being a semi
official announcement that they would
again be put on early in the spring. The
action Of the Northwestern and Union
Pacific roads last week in announcing
the addition of two through trains be-
tween the two points mentioned to COM
mence February 6. precipitated matters
with the Burlington. and telegraphic
orders were sent out. Monday. from pas
senger department headquarters in Chi
cago officially announcing the restoration
of Nos. and E.
The trains both ways will be run on a
twenty-eight hour schedule the same as
the Northwestern-U Union Pacific service,
but if emergency requires the company
has announced that it is prepared to put
in effect schedule of four hours less on
both trains.
Train No I. the "Denver flyer" will
depart from Chicago at 10 a. nj. 1t will
reach Omaha at HISS p. m., Lincoln at
40 a. M, McCook at 6:3o a. nj. and Den
var at go in the afternoon.
Train No. E, the "Chicago flyer" will
leave Denver at 10 a. m. and arrive in
McCook at 5:22 p. m. and in Chicago at
2:I5 the following afternoon. The pas
senger department has not fully deter
mined the time card for No. 6, but it is
surmised that it will pass through Lin
coin at about 1890 p. m. This train will
not run into Omaha, but instead will 60
east via the old main line between Ash
land and Plattsmouth.
These trains will be as handsome and
complete in equipment as the Burlington
can make them. They will carry reclin-
ing chair cars, sleepers and dining cars,
and will be wide vestibuled throughout.
The announcement of the restoration
of Nos. I and 6 will be welcomely re-
ceived among the trainmen and other
employees of the Burlington. 1t will re-
quire the employment of at least three
additional train crews out of Lincoln and
thus necessitate the promotion of several
conductors and engineers. Among the
latter speculation will be rife as to the
ones most likely to get the new posi-
tions. The improvement in the service
will be highly acceptable to the travel
ling public, and altogether the announce
ment will meet with favorable recep-
ton on all sides.-Lincoln Journal.

HOW IT WAS FOUGHT.

general movement by the right
flank on Caney and Santiago de Cuba
began yesterday Thursday afternoon,
and by midnight all the troops were at
the bivouac positions ready for today's
battle, about three miles from the
Spanish line of defense. extending from
Caney, on the enemy's left, to Aqua
dores.
Meanwhile, against Aguadores, Cen
eral Duff1eld had moved out on our ex-
IRENE left.
Our formation in line was approx
mately-this:
General Lawtons division on the
right, to operate directly against Ca
ney; General Kent to his left and Gen.
eral Wheeler's division, under COM
mand of General Sumner, forming the
left of the line.
The battle began by the discharge
of guns of the fleet off Aguadores be-
fore o'clock, followed in about 10
minutes by the opening of General
Lawton's artillery, posted to the east
of Caney during the night. In an
other Is minutes Captain Grimes bat
terry of the Second artillery began to
fire upon the center and the Spanish
defenses east of the city of Santiago
de Cuba. There was no return fire I'M
til the battery to the left front of the
barracks and the hospitals. in the up
per end of Santiago. had been located.
Then the Spanish gunners rallied with
surprising accuracy, sweeping the brow
of the hill on which the artillery was
posted, forming the left of General
Summers division. The artillery duel
became effective, and after we had got
the range our shells proved very eff
fective. A majority of the Spanish
shells fell back of the hill among the
infantry there. The casualties at this
point We're between 80 and 40 killed or
wounded.
A portion of the Cubans of General
Garcias command, and also three or
four artillerymen on the hill, deployed
rapidly in front, and in half an hour
double lines of battle were ready for
the advance. extending half a mile
north and south.
The Spanish batteries at Santiago
were silenced at about this time, and
thence for an hour and a half the fight
was largely between the infantry col
umns The situation is now very ia
for our side. There is a lull
in the firing, which, both on the part
of the infantry and artillery. has been
very heavy.
The advance of our regulars along
the center and left was steady and
their fire was deliberate and magnifi-
Gently sustained. The Spanish fired in
volleys in rapid succession, while the
discharged few shots, but
with definite aim. 1t is thus that the
Spanish losses are exceedingly heavy.
