I Mf The Colonel Crew Gay.
Hlft Colonel 'Alfand 'Alf of the demi-pop
HtfTj ulistic Courier grew gay most hilariousl :
Hi > and vociferously , last week , and iinaginec
bt ) va ous vain things. The fact is that th <
Ejf \ Colonel has not felt first rate since Thi
HEk U Tribune was awarded the county print
OaRf" J ing , and last week took occasion to swipt
HpoIk/ the aforesaid recalcitrant county official !
B one for luck , over The Tribune's shoul
B $ der. Then the ghost of Poper-in-lawap
jn peared before his troubled vision and re
Hft " ceived another of the Colonel's man }
ML I back-handed digs. To cap the climax ir
HEf the Colonel's fantastic jim-jams ap
K&t ' preached the Hon. John M. Thurstor
r < Jj | * bearing on a shining silver salver th <
W McCook postoffice appointment and as
• X again the features of his "hated con tern-
Ki ) porary" came to view , the Colone !
* ' ' i swooned away and is still hanging ovei
HldBf the clothes line in his back yard in a de-
Iflp \ plorably limp condition.
W To Subscribers ot The Tribune.
, / * - } W 8r Readers of The Tribune will please
j remember that cash is an essential in
KvKk the publication of a paper. The pub-
mm& lisher has been very lenient during the
HIT past few years , on account of crop fail
I | i ures and hard times , and as a conse-
wM \ quence many hundreds of dollars are
m due on subscriptions. We are now comE -
E pelled to request all who can to call and
Bjt make settlement in full or in part. In
B view of the facts , our subscribers must
P& feel the justice and urgency of this re-
Kt quest. The Publisher.
H A Word of Explanation.
W\ McCook , Neb. . March 24th , 1897.
L As there Is an apparent misunderstanding
| Kj or lack of information among some members
rB > of the Order of the Star of Jupiter in reference
Jflft to the Reserve Fund , we call attention to sec-
BT' tion 123 of the amended laws of the Order
K. which provide for the creation of this fund in
K the following manner. $1.00 is taken from
Hjfe the initiation fee of every member and this
\W \ [ forms the nucleus of the fund which is aug-
ItJE ? mented by two assessments each year , one to
K % be paid in March and the other in September.
Wkt Some of the members ask , "Why is it necessary
K to create such a fund" ?
H | * The history of all Fraternal Insurance Or-
Wk ders is that in the early years of their existence
Bj deaths are few for the reason- that the mem-
Hr bership is new and healthy , they have just
R& passed a medical examination and are better
Rfcrisks than they will be ten years later , and as
HRLjl a consequence assessments are few. But as
5iPr an order grows old its members contract ail-
Bf t ments , deaths occur more frequently , and as-
R 1 sessments have to be called to meet payments
Ef -which we have contracted to pay the mem-
la ber's beneficiary at his or her death. It is
j [ then that trouble commences for the fraternal
Ift insurance order. Nearly if not all of the older
w ! organizations are now trying to formulate
Kt some plan for the creation of a Reserve Fund ,
Bjfc and with from 12 to 30 and more assessments
| R | per year and a membership of 100,000 or more
Py they have trouble in agreeing.
E While 12 or 14 assessments per year make
WML cheap insurance , when we get above that it
ft In becomes burdensome. The founders of this
Wm'J order are each and every one of them mem-
Hgp bers of one or more of the older orders and
B have no war to wage against them ; they are
HE * all good , but experience and observation are
BJ\ both good teachers and therefore it was deter-
Btjfcf ' " mined to commence at ' 'grass roots" and adopt
W f the simple business proposition of laying aside
WL something while young and healthy to protect
HL and make it easier in old age. It is also a well
12 } known fact that fraternal insurance would be
In much more expensive were it not for the
| S lapses of many old members and the constant-
Mp ly taking in of "new blood" . With the older
jH orders , which have no Reserve Fund , when-
WW' ever a member drops out by reason of non-
H& payment of dues or assessments he or she
EK leaves nothing to the order while in our order
O the Sl.00 from each member at the date of ad-
k\ mission supplemented by two assessments per
te 9 year is left as a legacy to the remaining mem-
It bers to be invested by the Board of Directors
M& * in interest-bearing securities.
BLj By section 125 of the laws , whenever $500
Ww * shall have accumulated in the Reserve Fund
Wi it is made the duty of the Board of Director to
Br/ invest such money in Uuited States , State ,
K County , School , or other bonds , or interest-
IB bearing certificates of deposit of National or
jBVChartered banks , which securities cannot be
'
bM&i drawn or converted except on the joint writ-
fm\ ten authority of three members of the Supreme
EX - Lodge. $500 in cash is the most that the Su-
A preme Treasurer can have on hand at any one
R [ time in the fund. The accumulation of the
Kit Fund enables us to guarantee not more than
HR 12 assessments in any one year , and we firmly
Kl believe that they will never reach that number.
K The Star of Jupiter should be judged upon
mk \ its merits only. While we disparage no other
1 order , we claim features superior _ any simi-
K lar order now in the field : Our plan may not
If be perfect but we want to perfect it , and th ere-
P fore invite examination , comparison and fair
criticism , look up the provisions which admit
Ik/ both sexes : The Reserve Fund feature ; its
* Beneficiary Department , ranging from $100
' to 53000 ; its provision for increasing or de
creasing the amount of insurance ; how it cares
k for the totally disabled and the aged ; examine
I f. the assessment table carefully and see that
pi | each member pays in exact proportion to his
. r-V risk which is governed by the average number
k * * of years that he has to live as shown by the ex.
, pectancy column. We ask for a place among
Fraternal Beneficiary Societies , and if the
public will compare our plan and its advan
tages with that of other orders and render a
fair verdict it is all we ask. We-siH get and
hold the place. Fraternally Yours ,
N C. F. Babcock , Supreme Secretary.

Water of the Frenchman.
Champion , Neb. , March 29. To the
Editor of the State Journal : As I was
the instigator of the experimental boring
to the second sheet of water made in the
Frenchman creek bottom on section 13 ,
township 6 , range 41 of the 6th meridian ,
I was asked to write you the particulars
for publication.
The money and work for its boring
was donated by parties interested in the
experiment. The Frenchman derives
its water from a subterranean flow , and
the well is located about ten feet from
the stream and eighteen feet below the
top of the subsurface water source. The
well is 116 feet deep , first seven feet , ten
inches in diameter , curbed ; the remain
ing 109 feet is six inches , hole uncurbed.
From repeated measurements we found
it filled a coal oil barrel of fifty-two gallons
lens in twelve seconds , making a flow
of over 250 gallons per minute. The cost
of the well in money was $23.40.
The greatest fault I can find t < $ * the
well is it constantly throws out sand and
gravel. Small stones the size of a man's
thumb are thrown out by the force of
the water when dropped in the well.
The object of the well is to increase the
flow of the stream for irrigation. I
think our subsurface water supply is
practical ! } ' inexhaustible.
I have stated the facts regarding this
well with the hope that they may benefit
others interested in irrigation. Respect
fully yours , F. A. Freei.and.
The Union Services.
The union services ot the Congrega
tional church , this week , have been es
pecially profitable to those new in the
Christian life. The object of these meet
ings is to give further instruction to the
large numbers who had confessed Christ
in the meetings conducted by Major
Cole. This object is being admirably
accomplished by Rev. W. F. Ringland ,
who brings the vital things of the word
of God to bear on all to the edification
of young and old alike. We shall expect
to find stronger and truer Christian lives
as a result of this week's work , which so
appropriately concludes the grandest re
ligious campaign that our city has ever
experienced.
The final meeting will be held tonight.
La/'st in men's and boys' spring caps
now ready. The Famous.
Instructed for Cole.
McCook lodge No. 61 , A. O. U. W.
has elected the following delegates t <
the grand lodge session to be held ii
Omaha in May : H. W. Cole , C. B. Gray
Dennis Cullen and C. A. Dixon. B ;
unanimous vote of the lodge delegate
were instructed for H. W. Cole for Grant
Master Workman of Nebraska. The del
egates were also instructed by a unani
mous voice to oppose the classified as
sessments idea. Here's good luck to Cole
Lilly vs. Allen.
The case between Guy Lilly , admiuis
trator , versus Frank P. Allen , which was
tried before Judge Berry , March nth ,
aud resulted in the jury disagreeing ,
was taken by the defendant on a change
of venue before Justice Pate of BoxEldei
precinct. The case was tried on Wednes
day and the jury rendered a verdict in
favor of plaintiff. The case was over the
disputed possession of the old Smith
livery barn south of the St. Charles
hotel.
The Prodigal Returns. '
Some of the middle-of-the-road Pops
are fearful , since perusing the last week's
issue of the semi-populistic Courier , that
the amiable , milk-and-water Colonel
has become tainted with the Council 100
brand of Republicanism , and that they
will soon lose the Colonel from their
party ranks entirely. The Colonel has
been exhibiting sundry signs of wishing
to return to his first love , and The
Tribune hereby invites him up onto the
band wagon.
Case Referred.
In the land contest of John D. Carter
against Arthur M. Davidson , from the
McCook district , Nebraska , Secretary
Bliss today modified the land commis
sioner's decision and referred it to the
board of equitable adjudication for settle
ment. Davidson failed to make final
proof on his timber culture application
and Carter made a homestead entry for
the land. Davidson contested the latter
entry and proved that he had acted in
accordance with law except as to the
final proof. The secretary decided that
the equities of both entrymen would be
best determined by the board and ordered
the case before it.
Resolutions of Respect.
Whereas , It has pleased the Great
Supreme Ruler of the Universe to re
move from this earth the beloved wife

Whereas , Brother Foley has lost a
good , kind , devoted wife , and his little
daughter a loving mother ,
Be it resolved , That Harvey Divi
sion No. 95 , O. R. C , extend our heart
felt sympathy to Brother Foley in his
hours of sorrow , and that a copy of these
resolutions be sent Brother Foley and
our weekly papers , also to the Railway
Conductor. Frank Kendlen ,
