THE TRIBUNE was in error , last week ,
in stating that R. B. Archibald is build
ing a dwelling. The residence is under
way , but the Master Mechanic's father ,
Mr. John Archibald's is the builder , and
we hasten to make this correction.
People irom the east who take ad
vantage of the harvest excursion rates
and come to Red Willow county , Ne
braska , will see a sight which will for
ever banish irom their minds the idea
that Nebraska is not a rich agricultural
country.
THE TRIBUNE is particularly anxious
to have farmers report extra yields of
grain as found by threshing machine
measure. Give number of bushels per
acre , name of farmer , section , town , and
range and , when possible , time of sow
ing , cutting and threshing.
It would hardly seem natural that
any newspap'er should feel called upon

Yet the law in this regard is being wan

before promiscuous slaughteris indulged
in.

the latter quarter. He will put up a

The success of the wheat crop in Ne
braska this season adds weight to the
claim made by so many substantial
farmers and experienced grain buyers
that no crop will give better returns in
this state year after year than winter
wheat. The acreage is growing steadi
ly , and wherever the grain is properly
planted .the results are wonderfully sat
isfactory. Nebraska is ready for a
winter wheat.

As one of the incidents of the elec
tion , Monday , Dr. B. B. Davis mourns
the death of his fine horse and the sad
demoralization of his hansomc new bug

injured foot as a reminder of the un
fortunate affair. Mr. O'Neil had driv
en the doctor's horse out to the former's
farm a few miles south of the cit , and
was engaged in watering the animal , '
which suddenly noticed a threshing ma
chine in operation near by , became pan
ic-stricken , ran over Mr. O'Neil , and
dashed madly through two barbed wire
fences , severing its wind pipe.

Death Claims Its Own.
Early Monday morning the angel of
death came to Jack McCahe and his
sturdy soul took its flight to the spirit
land from his pain-racked earthly tene
ment. His decease was not unlooked
for , an he had been in a critical condi
tion from an old army trouble for some
weeks , but the announcement came
nevertheless to all with pain.
The funeral occurred on the afternoon
of Tuesday , exercises being conducted in
the Methodist church under the auspices
of the Masonic and Pythian orders , of
which the deceased was a member , and
who ministered to him most kindly and
attentively during his fatal illness.
Rev. A. W. Coffman preached a brief
sermon on the topic of the "Resurrec
tion. "
. After which the remains were escort
ed to Longview by the orders and many
friends and were laid away with due
honors.
A delegation of postal clerks served
as pall-bearers ; and they were also the
donors of a charming and elaborate
floral postal car. That of Willow
Giove lodge , K. of P. , was a rich and
handsome triangular shield ; besides
there were a broken wheel and other
pretty emblems and flowers in profusion.
John B. McCabe was a native of
Washington county , Pennsylvania ,
where he was born in 1842 , being fifty
years of age at his death. Served
with distinction in the war of the re
bellion ; was one of Nebraska's earliest
settlers , and was one of the govern
ment's most competent postal clerks.
His has been a familiar figure on our
streets for many years. Peace to his
ashes.
The independents of the 29th sena
torial district were in convention in this
city , Tuesday , to place in nomination a
candidate for state senator. The several
counties of the district were well repre
sented , notwithstanding we are in the
midst of the greatest harvest southwest
ern Nebraska has ever seen. B. Conway -
way , of Culbertson , was chairman of
the convention ; J. H. Berge , of Indian
ola , secretary. After the usual prelimi
nary work and skirmishing , the conven
tion got down to business shortly after
dinner. The principal candidates ior
nomination were E. E. Link , of Fron
tier county , and Lewis W. Young , of
Furnas county. The first ballot was a
surprise to many , who expected that
Link would be "the man , as Young re
ceived forty votes to Link's thirty-nine
votes. The nomination of Mr. Young
was then made unanimous. W. D.
Wildman , of Culbertson , was placed
at the head ol * the senatorial central
committee. Messrs. Young , Link and
others made speeches which were en
thusiastically applauded by the confi
dent populists in attendance. Mr.
Young , the nominee , is an elderly gen
tleman , a farmer who resides near
Wilsonville. His friend claim fail
ability and strict integrity for him , anc
fidelity to their party.
At the instance of Mrs. Eliza J.
Heist , this week , John L. Bouch was
arrested for the alleged theft , from her
son , of $225 , and in the trial before
Squire Berry , yesterday , Rouch was
bound over to the next term of district
court in the sum of $300 , which bond
was given. Mrs. Rouch is now under
arrest as an alleged accessory after the
fact and her trial will occur before
Squire Berry tomorrow. From the evi
dence it appears that Mrs. Heist had
$225 in gold secreted in the mattress of
her bed. It is stated in evidence that
young Heist was counting the money ,
last Friday , and upon being interrupted
in his work by the entrance of his father ,
put the money in his pocket. He imme
diately accompanied his father to the
round house on an errand. On his way
back home , young Heist alleges that
Rouch took the money from him.
We suggest to our farmer readers the
importance or refusing to join in a gen
eral rushing of their wheat on the mar
ket , for it will surely cause a decline in
prices. Throw your wheat on the mar
ket gradually , in the mean time keeping
well informed of the amount of wheat
received daily at the great markets and
the tendency of prices. Remember
that Nebraska is , as it were , one vast
wheat field and the grain is of the very
best quality and the disposition of the
Nebraska farmers is to rush grain ship
ments. Watch them and don't become
a party in glutting the markets , which
is certain to cause a decline in prices ,
and thus become agents in effecting
your own losses.
S. M. Cochran & Co. keep repairs
for all kinds of machinery.

Prof. Valentine makes his presence
felt in the effective work of the session.
Mrs. E. F. Tucker , the well known
Lincoln public school teacher , is one of
the instructors whose efforts are highly
prized.
THE TRIBUNE hopes the interest of
our citizens in institute work may in
crease. 'J hey can add encouragement
by their simple presence.
Superintendent Burke , of Fillmore
county , is doing good work in the insti
tute. He is an enthusiastic and capa
ble instructor of experience.
A social will be given in the east
ward building , Wednesday evening next ,
in honor of the members of the insti
tute , by the local teachers and friends.
Prof. Valentine gave one of his high
ly instructive and absorbingly interest
ing lantern lectures , last evening , which
was enjoyed by all. The calcium light
used is a very fine one , and the pro
fessor's talks are always bright and
meaty.
Chancellor Can field's Lecture.
The lecture delivered by Chancellor
Canfield , of the Nebraska university , in
the Methodist church , Monday evening ,
was a very learned and eloquent effort.
The subject was ' -Education and the
State. " It is to be sincerely regretted
that the Chancellor's visit fell upon the
occasion of a "county-seat war , " as
many for that reason failed to hear him ,
and thus missed a rare intellectual feast.
Nebraska has ever reason to be proud
of her university chancellor.
Getting up early tends to exhaust
the physical power and to shorten life ,
while the so called invigorating early
hours are apt to produce lassitude , and
are positively dangerous to some consti
tutions.

Common People , is now exhibiting
