Kansas City Star. It is expected that the city National Bank will open its doors and resume business again in a few days. From the statement made by those who know life exact status of affairs it is hard to see just why the bank should have been closed. The closing down was , perhaps , about the only -way to cheek what would [ lave been a disastrous run. When the statement is made public and the bank reorganized it will probably regain past confidence and do a good business. Hastings Democrat. All grades of McCook Flour. POTTER & EASTERDAY.

Last Sunday night , a miscreant , de void of principle , who by his action has forfeited his right to dwell among civ ilized people , pried the corner stone out of the college basement and robbed it of all its contents. The stone contain ed a copy of each paper published in the county at the time it was laid , a record of the donors to the college fund and many other relics which had been placed there for preservation. The guilty party should be hunted down and proper punishment meted out to him. Bartley Enterprise. THE TRIBUNE is apprised , by mana ger U. J. Warren , that W. C. Bullard has been called to Omaha , by a party of wealthy capitalists , to take the pres idency and general management of a wholesale lumber company , to be known as the Wyatt-Bullard Lumber Co. While regretting the mayor's and fam- ilys removal from the city we extend hearty congratulations and have no doubts but that Mr. Bullard will forge rapidly to the front in the metropolis as he has done in this section. His removal will in nowise effect his lum ber interests here or in neighboring towns , they being under the manage- w nn 4- r\r nn nT-i * I n n rl sSMt rtstv vrn 4TT / > wn U.IV > I'UJi The indications are that Dundy coun ty will have an irrigation ditch before the roses bloom again. A Colorado ir rigation company now have a gang of surveyors at work between Benkelman and Haigler with a view to ascertaining whether or not it would be possible to dig a ditch that would tap the Re publican river a short distance above Haigler , and would convey into this county a volume of water that would irrigate at least 150 farms comprising 1GO acres each. The manager of the irrigation company was in the city last Sabbath and gave it as his opinion to a Benkelman citizen that the survey now being made would reveal the fact that the proposed ditch would be a feasible project and that it would be completed between now and next seeding time. The company's method of making their ditches profitable investments is to sell to land holders for $500 a perpetual water right that will entitle said land holders to a volume of water sufficient to irrigate 160 acres. If the land hold er cannot produce $500 the company would be willing to take either first or second mortgage on his farm for the amount. Benkelman Democrat. Return Thanks. Mr. and Mrs. J. H.

He has been laid up for some months with a sprained ankle and hip , but no one supposed his condition dangerous. Mr. Golfer was a native of Illinois.

J Death of Miss Mamie Gillham. From Belleville , 111. comes the news of the death of Miss Mamie Gillham who occupied fora short time last spring a position in our public schools. Miss Gillham came here from Lincoln and entered upon her duties as teacher of the second grade at the East ward building where she won immediately the confidence and esteem of the child ren committed to her charge. Thorough ly conversant with the principles of the "New Education , " she planned a course of work which promised to prove of great benefit to her class. She had been in McCook but two weeks when , after a valiant struggle to remain at her post , she succumbed to an attack of bronchitis. After repeated attempts to resume her duties she resigned her position and returned to her home in Illinois , where she was confined to her bed with intense suffering until Satur day , Aug. 30th , when she quietly passed away. Among the last words that she uttered were expressions of regard and gratitude to ihe friends she had made in McCook. Her loss will be felt not only by her family and friends but in the work of training young children in which she had achieved signal success. The sympathy of this community is conveyed to her family in their trouble. "Will Do Good Work. ' ' A Holdredge friend advises the pub lisher that "Rev. P. S.
