A Culbertson exchange is throwing
ink in a reckless and inartistic way to
prove that Honorable W. D. Wilduian
of that hamlet is the gentleman wh <
pulled the plug in Brother Noah's time ,
when the theory of irrigation was first
placed upon an effective and practical
basis. Be calm , brethren , the claim is
certainly just ; and is allowed without
further debate.
Last Saturday five car-loads of the
finest cattle ever shipped out of this
part of Nebraska pulled out for Chicago
under the care of L. R. Hileman. The
shipment embraced the eighty head
recently purchased by S. P. Hart from
Hatfield & Son. The steers were high
grades , two and three year olds , and
were raised on the Hatfield ranch by
that rustling manager Joe Evans ; and
as the bunch averaged a little over
1,500 pounds Joe is excusably proud
of the job. One three-year-old tipped
the beam at nearly 1,900 pounds.

AGAIN BEREAVED.
Again Mr. and Mrs. Hocknell are
plunged into inconsolable grief by the
death of their only child , the illness
of their sweet and lovable daughter ,
little Helen , resulting fatally early
yesterday morning. Little Helen was
nearing her fourth birthday ; and in the
fisw brief years of her young life her
loving dispositon and sweet ways had
so endeared her to her indulgent and
fond parents , that her death after a
short but painful illness , comes with
crushing force upon them.
The funeral occurred , at 2 o'clock ,
this afternoon , from the residence ,
Rev. McBride conducting the brief ,
but beautiful services. There was a
large outpouring of our people present ,
indicating the widespread and profound
feeling of sympathy existing in this
community for the parents in their un
utterable anguish.
The floral offerings were numerous
and lovely , uttering in natures's unap
proachably beautiful way tender senti
ments that language cannot adequately
express.
THE TRIBUNE is never so deeply im
pressed with the feeling of human in
sufficiency as it isupon occasions of
such sadness. But whatever of sooth
ing and consolation there is in un
bounded , genuine human sympathy ,
Mr. and Mrs. Hocknell have it in gen
erous abundance.
The Enterprising Circle Front.
Those rustling liverymen. Gray &
Maddux , never let a week go by with
out making an improvement in their
equipment or adding some attractive
feature to their establishment. Their
latest is a HANDSOME NEW SURREY of
the most approved and complete pattern
and a ride in it behind two of their high-
steppers is guaranteed to be the near
est thing imaginable to being "carried
to the skies on flowery beds of ease. "
The spirit of enterprise thoroughly
permeates the Circle Front , and their
horses and vehicles of all sorts are con
stantly being changed. Fresh animals
and new conveyances replace the worn
out , so that the service they offer the
public is always the very best obtaina
ble. They are in the livery business.
JUDICIOUS ADVERTISING
Creates many a new business ,
Enlarges many an old business ,
Revives many a dull business ,
Rescues many a lost business ,
Saves many a failing business ,
Preserves many a large business ,
Secures success in any business.
So says a man of business , and we
add that judicious advertising , for this
section of the country , includes THE
TRIBUNE as one of the mediums , be
cause it is read by the best people ,
those who know what they want and pay
for what they get. We challenge com
parison with any country paper in the
valley in this respect.

Joe Goggles , the Irrepressible , Special
News and Society Reporter.
Twelve years ago we saw i'or the first
time the Republican Valley , far famed.
History and romance had each painted
in bright colors pictures of climate and
landscape and fertility of soil. The
steel rail has since that time crept up
its easy grade from Bloomington to
Denver. Yet , aside from the towns and
the railroad the Valley remains prac
tically the same as when it trembled
beneath the hoof of a million buffalo.
The tide of immigration came and roll
ed out over the Divides , where thous
ands of acres have been brought under
the plow. But in the Valley buffalo
grass covers the face of the earth and
grins and glistens at the bewildered and
disgusted land seeker as he looks weari
ly out of the car window. For twelve
years the people have sat like stoughten
bottles within easy reach of an ocean
of water the underflow that God
brought all the way down from the
Missouri river , or other inexhaustible
sources that this Valley might be irri
gated and the husbandman reap an
hundred fold , and now after these twelve
years have each taken the stand in turn
and testified that the rain fall is never
sufficient we arc two timid to reach out
after wealth and nature's great treasure.
Should we be so fortunate as to have
three or four good crops in succession
it would do but little 'more than en
courage those that are now here to re
main. To bring immigration to this
country we must advertise , but in a dif
ferent manner than in the past. Bring
up this underflow , add it to the surface
water , turn under every blade of native
grass in the Valley from Red Cloud to
the west line of the state. Make every
foot of ground yield abundance 'till the
evidence of prosperity shall appear on
every hand to be seen and talked about
by the thousands from every clime that
pass through over the B. & M. Then
will the word go 'round the world that
the Republican Valley is the fairest and
richest of all the earth. The three es
sentials for the accomplishment of all
this are the same that lie back of the
success of every enterprise , Faith , En
ergy and Perseverance. If we continue
to sit on our prognostic anniversaries
and wait for something to turn up death
will finally come and mow down a few
old settlers and the buffalo grass and
cactus will sod over our graves and
coming generations will unanimously
vote us more ancient than the mound
juilders.
