While the whole trend of thought
and talk is toward irrigation in some
form , THE TRIBUNE takes the present
opportunity of gathering a thought
wherever found for our readers. One
from an exchange is here stated , and
will be useful for every citizen of the
semi-arid region , which is how to take
the level for an irrigation ditch : "Take
two pieces of 2x4 about 16 feet long
and pin them together at the top , and
near the bottom nail a board across so
that the bottom of the crossed pieces
will just be one rod apart. Then from
the apex hang a good plumb line , level
it and mark the line on the board at
the bottom ; also , by calculation , find
the position of the plumb line on the
board at the grade of your ditch and
mark on each side of the center mark ,
and you have the entire machine , which
can be walked along , sticking a stake at
every rod , and by means of the plumb
line the grade is kept accurately. "
Irrigation may not be generally prac
ticed in this county , but this simple
inowledge is of benefit to every prac
tical man.
It is not often that the Hub offers
an apology or has anything to apologize
for. Just now , however , it is in a
deeply penitential mood , and makes
humble apology to a large number of
righteously indignant citizens who have
thronged this office for several days for
the purpose of making a display of
their injured feelings. And this is the
how of it : About a month ago the
Hub mirthfully notified the public that
the backbone of winter was broken.
This was not true ; but the public ,
which had long since learned to accept
this paper's statements as true in all
respects , at once began to govern itself
accordingly. Spring dry goods and
millinery appeared in the show windows
dews , winter overcoats were placed in
pawn , the street sprinkler was put in
repair , lawns were cleaned up , the hy
drants gargled , grass seed put in soak ,
and early vegetable seed put where it
would do the most good. Farmers be
gan to sow spring wheat , got their corn
ready for planting , uncovered the pota
to bins , began to set hens , and did many
other things that they do with every re
currence of spring , gentle spring. Never
before , perhaps , were the actions of so
many people governed or directed by a
simple newspaper announcement. This
was all creditable to the Hub , of course ,
but upon what followed we must tear
fully but respectfully draw the veil.
There was some mistake about it. The
backbone of winter has , in short , re
sented the insinuation. It is all there ,
and has suffered neither fracture nor
abrasion.Hence this apology. Kearney

THE HAND OF AFFLICTION.
The hutid of affliction rests heavily
upon this community. Death has been
n sudden and terrible visitor in a num
her of devoted homes , during the past
few weeks , and loved ones have passec
out into the life eternal , where sickness
and pangs of parting are unknown
Mr. and Mrs. A. Campbell have with
others felt the sting of the unsparing
one in the sudden loss of their little
boy Leslie , about two years of age , who
died last Friday in the early evening
with malignant scarlet fever , after a
brief illness indeed.
The funeral occurred at the hour ol
2 o'clock , Saturday afternoon , from the
residence , the Rev. Samuel F. Myers ol
Holdrege officiating. By request anc
on account of the nature of the disease
the services were brief and the attend
ance restricted.
Mr. and Mrs. A. Campbell are pro
foundly grieved over the sudden taking
away of their dear one , and in their
sorrow must feel the responsive touch
of sympathy coming from all loyal anc
loving hearts in this city.
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.

RESOLUTIONS
Passed by the Congregational Sab
bath School on the deatL of Helen
i

WHEREAS , It has pleased our Heavenly
Father to call to Himself our beloved mem
ber , Helen Hocknell , therefore , be it
KESOLVISD , That , while our hearts are

RESOLVED , That , in this dark shadow of
affliction we would tender our deepest sym
pathy and condolence to the bereaved par
ents. They may be comforted by the mem
ory of a loving child , an emblem of one of
the beloved little ones of whom it was said
'Of such is the Kingdom of Heaven. "
REPEALED.
One of the last and most important
acts of tbe late congress , as effecting
this country , was the repeal of the
imber culture and pre emption laws.
The following telegram to the officers
of the U. S. land office at McCook will
explain itself :
WASHINGTON , D. C. , March 4th91.
Co Register and ReceiverMcCookNeb.
Timber culture and pre-emption laws
this day repealed. Allow no further

THE COMMERCIAL HOUSE SOLD.
There will be general regret in Mc
Cook upon learning of the sale of the
Commercial House , which occurred this
this week , Mr. H. M. Wolf of Culbert-
son being the purchaser. From a small
beginning Mr. Johnston has built up a
hotel business second to none in West
ern Nebraska. His popularity and the
excellence of his service have made
this the favorite stopping place for the
commercial men of the Republican
Valley ; while his praises are on the
lips of the genial public , with whom
the Commercial has been a prime fav
orite and headquarters.
The transaction involves a half inter
est in the Culbertson mill , some land
and cash , and is one of the heaviest
deals ever made in McCook. Mr. John
ston retains his farm near McCook as
well as his other real estate interests
in this part of the state.
The new proprietor will take. , charge
some time next week , and THE TRIB
UNE can perhaps wish him no better
fortune than a continuance of the pat
ronage and prosperity accorded to the
late owner.
Socially Mr. Johnston and his estim
able family have endeared themselves
to a wide circle of warm friends in this
city , who fondly hope that McCook
may continue to be their abiding place.
This will be their home at least , this
summer , Mr. Johnston , having rented
the Lindner dwelling.
BARTLEY NOTES.
0. L. Campbell of McCook was in
Bartley on Tuesday evening.
Isaac Vandervort , our blacksmith , has
received notice of a pension.
E. R. Moon and family returned
from Decatur , Decatur Co. , Kans.
John Weeden and 0. Frost seem to
be having a game of hide-and-go-seek.
Many people in Bartley are joyful
over the findings of the supreme court.
Commissioner C. W. Hodgkin is
busy this week distributing aid coal to
the needy.
S. W. Clark , 0. Frost and Commis
sioner Hodgkin were in McCook , on
Wednesday.
If the signs of the times are correct
Bartley will-witness a well developed
scandal 'ere long.
A. H. Barnhart has been very sick
for several daysalso ; has his little daugh
ter with la grippe.
S. W. Clark , our energetic hardware
merchant , has received the appoint
ment as postmaster at this place.
I. W. Stevens and family arrived
From Lenox , Iowa. Mr. Stevens and
family come highly recommended as
good energetic citizens and what is our
gain is Iowa's loss.
The chief mogul of the Bartley L.-
F.-W. makes trips weekly between this
place and the capital city. Undoubt
edly he is a little nervous over his
pending libel suit as time passes.
We understand that while the "devil"
and the "short man of Bartley" were
at work last Sunday the "devil" became
unmanageable and has not returned as
yet. This is very good for a member
of the church for fifteen years.
M. N. Eskey seems to feel slighted
over the fact that he was not personal-
y consulted as regards the postoffice
appointment. But it is consoling to
lear him say : "Wait-till-McKeighan-
gets-in. " However no attention is paid
; o him any more.
