John Archibald Passes Away.
Tuesday morning at Ii:3o o'clock , after -
ter a brief illness , the sturdy spirit of
brave old John Archibald willingly
winged its flight to Its Maker. To his
surviving devoted wife and children his
death was deeply sad , though not unex-
pected. The funeral took place Thursday -
day afternoon at two o'clock , from the
Methodist church , services being conducted -
ducted by Rev. A. G. Forman , and interment -
terment following in Longview cemetery
of our city. A large audience of sympathizing -
thizing friends filled the church and
followed the remains to their last resting
place.
The floral offerings were charming ;
the anchor , ship and wreath being especially -
pecially appropriate and lovely.
John Archibald was born in Fifeshire ,
Scotland , September ISth,1823 , and died
in McCook , Nebraska , December i&h ,
' 1894 , aged 71 years , 3 months. From his
Scottish parentage he inherited a magnificent -
nificent physique and a noble mind , and
the stirring events of his active life are
an inspiration. At the age of seven he
removed to Bristol , England , with his
parents ; going to sea at i5 and becoming -
ing an apprentice on a merchantman. He
visited Africa , South America and the
West Indies , making numerous voyages
and seeing many important cities of the
world. In shipwreck once he was the
only survivor. After seven years in time
merchant marine , he joined the British
navy and was commissioned an officer of
the Hibernia , in which vessel he made a
four year's cruise in the Mediterranean ,
and on the completion of which , for honorable -
orable conduct , he was given a revenue
station on the southwest coast of Ireland.
After four and a half years in this service -
vice , he was placed on Her Majesty's
good flag ship , The Duke of Wellington ,
commanded by Sir Charles Napier. He
served in this vessel until the close of
the famous Crimean war , in which he
was severely injured by having a tree
shelled from under him while ashore on
observation. At the close of this war he
came to America , and his sea-faring life
naturally drew him to the water , and for
a quarter of a century he navigated the
Great Lakes. 'He was captain of the
Gertie , owned by millionaire George L.
Dunlap of Chicago , for twenty years ,
only resigning when compelled by ill
health. Three years since he came to
McCook in the hope that his declining
health might be benefitted. Vain hope.
His rugged constitution , impaired by so
many years of service , was beyond the
reach of even this atmosphere's potent
influence ; and his steps became less elastic -
tic and more feeble with each recurring
day. About three weeks ago he was
suddenly taken down upon what he recognized -
ognized as his death-bed , and he was
fully prepared for the last great change.
Captain John Archibald was a loving
husband , adoting , indulgent father , and
a sterling citizen. His pride in his family -
ily is illustrated in his own words , "I
have never had cause to be ashamed of
any of my children. "
While in the revenue service in Ireland -
land , at the age of twenty-seven , he married -
ried Miss Dora Bennett. There have
been ten children born of this happy
union , of which seven still survive , together -
gether with his faithful companion in
life , namely : Mrs. Harry Tyler , R. B.
Archibald and William Archibald of our
city ; Mrs. F. W. Bosworth of Denver ,
Colorado ; Mrs. N. Morrell of Milwaukee ,
Wisconsin ; Mrs. J. K. Ford of Ft. Howard -
ard , Wisconsin ; Mrs. Ed. Skinner of
Chicago , Illinois.
Thus has terniinated an eventful , useful -
ful life , worthy of emulation. The bereaved -
reaved wife and children have the deep
and profound sympathy of the entire
community.
Special Clearing Sale.
Your attention is especially directed
to time "Special Clearing Sale" advertisement -
ment of C. L. DeGroff & Co. appearing
in this issue. They are announcing unprecedented -
precedented bargains in Dry Goods ,

District court conversed Monday ,
transacted some business and postponed
more , adjourning Tuesday evening to
January 20th , 1895. It was evident that
the McCook contingent that attended
consided this the last session of district
court for Indianola. Wonder if His
Honor don't wish it might be. We
would think the traitor would feel like
hiding his head in shame in the presence
of honest men.-Indianola Courier.
Got It Very Bad.
Among the many things seen at Mc-
Cook , Tuesday , while down there , was
the ravages of the disease known as alfalfa -
falfa fever. Strong men are broke up
over it , and infants nurse it from the
mother's breast. Col. A. S. Campbell ,
late steward of the Hastings asylum ,
now register of the land office , has it bad
and sees alfalfa hay stacks like a man
does snakes after many , continuous and
prolonged jags.-Hastings Democrat.
The Calico Ball.
The calico ball and oyster supper in
the Temple hall , last evening , was very
largely attended and a most delightful
affair. The ladies in their vari-colored
garments of calico made a scene of amusing -
ing proportions. The crowd was large
and gay. The music good. Supper ditto.
Everybody had a happy time , and the
Lady Maccabees are to be congratukted
upon the success thereof.
Card of Thanks.
We feel truly grateful to all the friends
and neighbors for their manifold kindnesses -
nesses and never-tiring helpfulness during -
ing our late sorrow and bereavement.

literary amid mnsical program , in w.ich
the several performers acquitted themselves -
selves very creditably and to the appreciation -

The extra number , a baritone solo by
Mr. Adams , a commercial traveler from
Omaha , was heartily encored. The
work of the orchestra was effective and
enjoyable. Those directing and participating -
pating are entitled to much credit.
The Sneak Thief.
That contemptible specimen of the
race which people in their loathing have
come to denominate the sneak thief
seems to be putting in full time in this
vicinity. About noon on Monday some
scoundrel entered the dwelling of C. A.
Dixon and stole a new pocketbook containing -
taining seven or eight dollars.
Two or three other robberies amid attempted -
tempted robberies are reported and suspected -
pected thieves are being shadowed by
the police and others. This sort of business -
iness will be discouraged , if it takes a
load of shot to accomplish the purpose.
A. 0. U. W. Election of Officers.

McCook Has No Grudge.
The Curtis Enterprise apropos of the
Red Willow county-seat removal case , assumes -

against her sister town , the present coun-
ty-seat.
No , siree. McCook is too generous
and manly to entertain a grudge. She
simply seeks the county-seat.
In a New Rote.
THE TRIBUNE has it on good authority
that our former and illustrious townsman -
man , J. Byron Jennings , last spring married -
ried a Mormon lady and that during the
past summer he was baptized into the
Mormon faith and church. J. Byron evidently -
idently has some ambition to gratify.

The county committee is to work without -

cinct committeemen appointed will take
hold of the work for the good of the
suffering needy. It is suggested that the
precint committee meet and organize
immediately. A blank forum of bill and
receipt combined will be sent to each
committee so that they can keep an account -

m. , for the purpose of considering ways
and means of educating the masses of

their Hessian press , in their attempt
to enslave the American people. Let
this be the grandest meeting of patriots

Eternal vigilammce is time price of liber-

from time curse of human slavery they
must strike time blow themselves. Come

Well Hardly.
"Indianola people claim that No. a
passenger is run through that town for
the purpose of creating an uim favorable
impression of the town , and a favorable
one for McCook , says the Danbury News.
Well hardly. If for no other reason ,
for the very good and sufficient one that
McCook can and does create her own
favorable impression. Our Indianola
friends are simply mistaken.
