WEEKLY TRIBUNE ,
F , M. & E. M. KIMMELL ,
EDITORS and PUBLISHERS.
Br reason of an unavoidable delay ,
\ve were unable to give our readers the
supplement containing the "Laird Vin
dication , " last week , but we issue , this
week , an extra which contains all the
affidavits , statements nud facts in the
alleged frauds in connection with the
Stinking Water claims , which com
pletely exonerates all parties concerned
from fraud of-any kind , and the deuth-
like'silencc of the Bee and Herald , the
papers preferring the charges , gives
additional weight to the vindication. A
careful perusal can't fail of convincing
the candid mind.
"AFTER TUB BATTLK" is tire cap
tion under which the Courier , assailed
THE TRIBUNE , the people of McCook ,
and of Willow Grove precinct , last
ivcek. The editor first pays his respects
to THE TRIBUNE in the following para
graph , which it is not at all necessary
for us to notice , as the people of Red
Willow county know full well that there
is not one truthful word in the entire
paragraph :
"Tun TRIBUNE of the 8th inst. , not
satisfied with the results of the electioi
in this county , seeks to fight the battle
over , and in the hour of probable vic
tory , gloats over the defeat of certain
candidates on THE TICKET.
We have made diligent inquiry into
the condition ol the Editor's health at
the time of giving birth to the above ;
but , have found no indications of any
dire disease , save that the editor was
suffering from a paroxysm of dyspepsia
superinduced by hearing the returns
from Willow Grove precinct , .which is
a constitutional excuse. For fear that
the condition of our mind with respect
to the recent county election be misun
derstood , let us remark that we have
no cause for dissatisfaction whatever ,
that we are not feeling particularly
bellicose , and that what the Courier
styles GLOATING , was in fact merely
the reproduction of some of The Cour
ier JBxtra "slop-over , " to stir up the
editor's "pure mind by way of remem
brance" which , although a "close stu
dent of party history and principles , "
he had failed to see or hear. Sorry we
were misunderstood.
"Comparisons are odorous , " at best ,
but comparing the Bridge Bond Elec
tion with the quiet , orderly election held
in McCook on the 6th inst , is a moat
ludicrous burlesque , of the truth , an
absolute falsehood , to put it mild , and
a slur on the good people of McCook.
The editor says that he was informed
by a "prominent" citizen of McCook ,
that the election held here was con
ducted in a more "extended and aggra
vated" manner than "the famous Bridge
Bond Election , " where whiskey flowed
like water. An unmitigated falsehood.
The only really intoxicatedjnan on our
streets on election day was the."TiiE .
TICKET" peddler , and , sub rosa , who
helped or ought to have helped pay for
the Bridge Bond Election whiskey ?
He further says that 50 illegal votes
were polled in this precinct. A mere
bald-headed assertion. Let us have the
proof. While it MAY BE POSSIBLE that
a very few votes were cast which were
illegal , the allegation that 50 illegal
votes were polled is not true , or THE
TRIBUNE , at least , wants the proof to
convince us. We know of 25 men
right here in McCook who did not vote
at all , and others think there are more.
Willow Grove precinct , if all voters
come out , can poll 225 legal votes.
lu conclusion , the election in this
precinct was as quiet and orderly a one
as any held in lied Willow county.
The whiskey may have flown like water ,
but no one living here saw the stream ,
or its hideous effects , except in the case
mentioned. The Courier has made a
number of serious charges against the
people of this precinct , and we would
respectfully call for the proof. Let us
see whether these outrageous insinua
tions are based upon fact or whether
envy has been the prompter. But for
.heaven's sake don't give your McCook
friend away.

IN MEMpRAM !
DIED : At the residence of her par
ents , Mr. and Mrs. Royal Buck , lied
Willowj Neb. , on Thursday , Nov.
22j 1883 , Flora E. Buck , aged twen
ty-nine years , four months aud
sixteen days.
From a child she had been afflicted
with a nervous disease which greatly
impaired her usefulness , and which was
a cross to her , which , however , she bore
with heroic bravery and Christian res-
ignation. At the early age of ten years ,
she united with the Congregational
Church of Nebraska City on profession
of faith , and has honored that profes
sion by a most earnest , consistent
Christian life.
In 1872 she entered the State Nor
mal School at Peru , to prepare herself
for a leacher. After remaining there
one year , it became evident thafr her
nervous system could not endure the
strain of severe study , and she was
obliged to leave the institution. She
subsequently fulfilled several engage
ments in teaching , in which she was
eminently successful , but her health
compelled her to abandon the profession.
For a year and a half she has kept
the rainfall record , and made the other
observations for the county , for the
Weather Service Bureau at Liucoln ; she
has also made monthly reports to the
Signal Service Bureau , Gen. Hazen's
department , Washington City , in return
for which , that department has sent
her many valuable scientific and other
publications.
From necessity , being much confined
at home , she was far from being idle.
Possessing an active , thoughtful mind ,
she spent much time in reading and
writing. Many of her writings , both
prose and poetic , have found their way
into the "Advance" and various educa
tional journals. Her diary , which she
has kept from the age of eleven years ,
is a rare fund of informatio'n. All im
portant happenings , both local and gen
eral , were carefully noted , and as care
fully preserved. Her albums , scrapbooks -
books , and manuscript compilations
from standard authors are very volumin
ous. Among them are about one hun
dred and twenty descriptive poems of
old familiar things. In an album of
sacred poems are a large number which
she often spoke of , as so exactly fitting
her case , that they seemed to have been
specially written for her. Below are
given two of these selections which
were most frequently quoted :
"LEAN HARD. "
Child of my love , lean hard ,
And let me feel the pressure
Of thy love. I know thy burden , child ,
I shaped it , made no proportion
In its weight to thine unaided strength ,
For even as I laid it on ,
I said , "I shall be near.
And while she leans on me
This burden shall be mine , not hers.
So shall I keep my child within
The circling arms of mine own love. "
Here lay it down.
Nor fear to impose it on a shoulder which
upholds
The government of worlds.
Yet closer come ; thou art not near enough ,
I would embrace thy care , BO I might
.Feel my child reposing on my breast.
Thou lovest me ? I know It-
Fear not then ,
But loving me , "LXX HARD. "
The way is dork my child , but leads to light ;
I would not have thee always walk by sight.
My dealings now , thou canst not understand
I meant it so , but I will take thy hand.
And through the gloom.
Lead safely home my child.
The way is long , my child , but it shall bo
Not one step longer than is best for thee ;
And tbou shult know at last , when thou shall
stand
Safe ut the gate , how I did take thy hand ,
And quick and straight
t Lead to Heaven's gate , my child.
At home , she was the dutiful daugh
ter , the tender , affectionate sister , the
entertaining companion , loving and be
ing loved ; cheerfully trying to over
come the loss of life's pleasures which
her ill health denied her. In the neigh
borhood she was the children's friend ;
her hands were always ready to prepare
something for their comfort , enjoyment
and instruction. She has left a Dorcas
record , and all who knew her , loved her.
The Congregational Church of Mc
Cook has lost a devout praying mem
ber , and the home circle is broken ; but
father and mother , sister and brother ,
through burning tears , look away to the
heavenly home where the dear one has
gone to await a re-union in the bright
beyond.
The funeral services were conducted
on Saturday , at her late residence , by
Uey. Dungan of McCook , and the re
mains were interred in the cemetery at
Indianola. *

"HOME. "
A Highly Enjoyable Entertainment
by the McCook L.-G , Band.
The Band Hall was literally packed
with the elite of McCook , Indianola and
Culbertson , Wednesday euening , to hear
the members of the Band , assisted by
Mrs. W. F. Wallace , Miss Jennie
Fisher and Miss Mamie Hunt , render
"Home , " a comedy in three acts writ
ten by Robertson. All available room
was occupied , aisles , window sills , and
standing room was at a premium. The
play had been well studied and pretty
thoroughly memorized , and was well
presented throughout. Mr. Forbes was
at his best as Colonel White. Mr.
Hunt made n strong character as the
bibulous Mexican Captain , and the
character of Mr. Dorrison by Mr. Wai
lace , Bertie Thompson by Mr. Stiles
Servant by Mr. Chencry , Mrs. Pinch
beck by Mrs. Wallace , Lucy Dorrisoi
by Miss Hunt , and Dora Thornhougl
by Miss Fisher , were each well sus
tained. Messrs. Yager , Kenyon am
Stiles who composed the orchestra , de
serve their "meed of praise" for th
beautiful music rendered on the occas
ion. The overture by the band gavi
evidence of great improvement , and was
certainly well played. The boys prom
ise other entertainments during the
winter , and the excellence of the per
formanre of last evening insures a goo <
audience ot any time the boys may b
prepared to put another play on the
boards.
