THE TRIBUNE is heartily in favor of
organizing a real estate exchange in
this city , with the intention of making
it the basis of a strong immigration
movement. Make it the most active
and at the same time the most useful
organization in the city. Everyone
concedes that the time has come to
commence active work for the year in
advcrtisingourresources , making known
all that has been accomplished in the
past , and inducing eastern people to in
vest their money in McCook property
and the fertile lands of Red Willow
county. Indeed , the latter feature of
the movement should be given the im
portance it deserves , for whatever adds
to the farm population of the county
contributes directly to the prosperity
of the city.
The bill to abolish the death penalty
in Nebraska is superfluous. There is
practically no death penalty to abolish.
True , the execution of criminals is au
thorized by law , but the maze of tech
nicalities and restrictions with which it
is hedged by the court ? renders it
"more honored by the bench than in
observance. " The law is worse than a
dead letter. It is successful mainly in
aiding the escape of red-handed murder
ers a fact which the criminal records
of Nebraska sadly attest. What the
state needs is a law which will insure
the prompt execution of sentences im
posed on the guilt } ' .
"Busybodies" are three times referred
to in the bible and always with disap
proval. They are persons who concern
themselves about the affaibs of other
persons when they have properly and
rightfully nothing to do with them and
should be content to mind their own
business. Such persons are a standing
nuisance to every circle in which they
move. They are usually exaggerating
"tattlers" well as busybodies.
All persons in Indianola and vicinity
interested in irrigation are hereby re

attend. Matters of importance will
come before the meeting. Com. Cour

THE TRIBUNE charges every loyal
McCookite to have faith in the great
future of McCook. McCook has every
advantage of location , of commercial
prestige , of a state reputation , to make
it the fourth city in Nebraska.
The late storm extended over the en
tire state , and the snow fall was by far
the largest of the season. It gives
promise of good crops this season , es
pecially of fall wheat ; of which a large
acreage was sown.
THE TRIBUNE is informed that Wm.
Coleman has received over $700 in cash ,
besides quantities of clothing and seed ,
as a direct result of his aid circulars
sent to pastors of eastern churches and
to seed firms.
If some of the old grit , and snap , and
energy of McCook should "break out in
a fresh place , " we could reach out and
get something.
If churches and lodges would strike
from the roll those who were unfit , the
world would receive a heavy reinforce
ment.

Frank Huber and Ed. Farrell were
the principals in a quarrel , Saturday
evening , in which Huber used his re
volver , after having been struck by
Farrell. Fortunately the bullet only
grazed the side of Farrell'a head or the
results to both participants would have
been painful , to state ic mildly. The
encounter grew out of an "end joke'
uttered in last week's entertainment by
the Merry Minstrels ; and the affair was
no doubt precipitated by outside parties
who expected nothing more serious
perhaps , than a "small scrap. "
There was intense excitement on the
streets for a time , but it quickly sub
sided when the extent of Farrell's in
juries were ascertained.
On complaint of E. A. Keith , Huber
was arrested and bound over to district
court in the sum of $500 ; his father
and brother being his bondsmen. Far
rell declined to sign the complaint.
