The base ball game between the home
club and Culbertson boys , last Saturday
afternoon , was a regular walk-away for
McCook. The Culbertsonites failed to
make the game more than funny. In
fact hardly that.
We hope our people will take as ac
tive an interest in the proceeding of the
county institute now in session in the
city as their time will allow. Lend en
couragement by your presence as often
as may be.
If the base ballists of this city arc
unable to get along without the aid of
two or three tin-horn gamblers they had
better retire from the field. A club
with such an item of membership is a
disgrace to the community.
Last Saturday's matinee races did

One of the actions of the late special
erm of district court was the granting
of a divorce to H. C. Rider , on the

of body and soul. " Oh , Lord , how we

As per notice appearing in the Cour
ier , Albert H. Steadman seeks a divorce
from Mary B. Steadman on the grounds
j of abandonment. Answer day is set
for August 23d. Sophia Merkle also
desires to be released from the "bonds of
holy wcd-lock , " with Carl Merkle. on the
ground that Carl secured her consent
to marriage by trickery , fraud and de
ception , also on the grounds of extreme
cruelty. August 9th is the day fixed
for hearing in this case. The frequen
j cy of divorce proceedings is beconiin ;
one of the most disgraceful features o :
our courts , which are deluged with them
upon every regular and special term
This divine institution seems to be held
at a very low and trifling consideration
We clip the following from The Capi
tal published at Washington , D. C
Mr. Davis , with his family , expects to
locate in MeCook about August 1st :
Mr. C. W. Davis , of the General Land Oflice ,
has voluntarily resigned his position , am
will remoVe with his family to Xebraska ,
where he intends to pursue the practice of
the law , making a specialty of all cases aris
ing under the public land laws. Mr. Davis
j is a lawyer of ten years' experience , and fron
1877 to 1SSO was district attorney in South
western New York. His experience of four
years in the General Land Oflice on all classes
of contested cases will necessarily render his
services of great value to those having busi
ness either before the local oflices in Nebraska
or before the department at Washington.

"No one will believe for a moment
that $2,000 will be expended , this year ,
for salaries , in McCook , ' " says the sa
loon organ on one page of last week'
issue ; on another page it says , in the
city's estimate of expenses , "for sala
ries , city officers , $2,000. " ' 'For inci
dental expenses , $150. " THE TRIBUNE
does not believe that $2,000 will be
spent for salaries , simply because the
city's income will not be $2,000.
IT seems to THE TRIBUNE to be apro
pos that repentance is not always so
much regret for the evil done , as arrant
fear of its consequences. That its puri
fying , cleansing power consists largely
in the degree in which the wrong done
is righted. That it is not a single ac
tion , but the continuous dropping from
penitential clouds. Save ?
$28.18 is the amount of cash found
in the Chase county bankby the credi
tors , when the institution succumbed to
"financial distress"last , week. How's
that for banking ? The deposits amount
ed to over $2.000. The loss falls upon
the settlers heavily , some of them hav
ing their entire earthly possessions in
the bank.
We note the arrival , last Friday morn
ing , at the residence of Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Harris on North Main , of a
sweet little parcel of femininity , of the
usual weight and vocal powers. Parent
and child are doing well , although some
solicitation was for awhile entertained
for Frank , who is convalescent.
The party who telegraphed the Oma
ha Bee the account of the Benkelman
bank failure ought to keep a bag of ice
conveniently near his head. The amount
of defalcation is nearer $5,000 than
$100,000 , the sum stated in the sensa
tional telegram sent from this city.
Well , the clouds have been weeping
copiously , the past three days , and the
grangers are smiling with an audible-
ness proportionate to the amount of rain
fall and the consequent assurance of
good crops. Lift up your heads , oh ye
disconsolate , and be ye lifted up !
POOR FIDO ! E. M. Brickey's little

EDITOR TRIBUNE : On reading your
editorial notes in last week's TRIBUNE
on the S-foot corn of Mr. Church on Red
Willow I took a ten-foot pole and went
to my corn field. The first hill to which
I applied the measure gave me 9 feet
7 inches with tassel just coming out of
the sheath. A little farther and I had
to splice my measuring rod had 10
feet 24inches. . I then crossed the
road and entered my neighbor's ( J. A.
Taylor ) field and I found plenty of
stalks over 10 feet high and one 11 feet
24 inches with a circumference of 7
inches. In neighbor J. F. Helm's T
found a stalk 11 feet S inches with the
tassel only about half out of sheath ;
three-ear sets , the upper one S feet 4
inches from the ground. The fine
showers of past three nights are giving
new vigor to our corn fields and we can
climb up on these measurements not a
little in the course of ten day. We
shall have to employ tall men this fall
to gather corn. ROYAL BUCK.
