hearted business men of McCook. The

Municipal Matters.
The city fathers were in regular ses
sion on Wednesday evening , councilmen -
men Allen , Knights and Kay , and clerk
Kelley being present. The following

THE TRIBUNE suggests that the
county alliance take charge of the
county fair management and run it a
while. That body of men could make
the fair a grand success , by enlisting
every farmer in it. We will have a
big crop of everything next year and
the farmers will have something to put
on exhibition.
It would be entirely agreeable to the
publisher if all subscribers in arrears
would call in and make a deposit suf
ficiently large to cover back subscrip

get the better of you and you should
pay a year in advance , you will be for
given.
As it is stated on authority that it is
"more blessed to give than receive , " the
writer can think of no satisfactory reas
on why. anyone should trudge along
lacking a blessing. There is no absence
of opportunity. Yet discretion must
needs be used.
It has been wisely suggested to THE
TRIBUNE that the state bounty be tak
en off sugar and be given to the farm
ers on beets raised by them. This
would be more just and productive of
good results.

Mrs. J. 8. , Goodwin was profoundly

ceiving the delayed news of the sudden
death of her sister , Mrs. David Mitch
ell , at Franklin , on the preceding Sun
day. Word had been promptly tele
graphed here , but the telegram was not
delivered , the message boy not knowing
Mr. Goodwin or his whereabouts. As
Mr. Goodwin has been a resident of
McCook for six months and a member
of TBE TRIBUNE force for three months ,
he and bis wife are greatly broken up
over the failure to receive the news
promptly. Mrs. Goodwin had just been
home a few 'days from attending the
marriage of her sister. The Franklin
Republican contains the following brief
mention of the sad affair : "Mrs. Nan
nie Mitchell , wife of David Mitchell ,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Cook ,
died last Sunday night after a short ill
ness. She was married to Mr. Mitchell
two weeks ago last Tuesday. The
sympathy of the entire community is
with the bereaved ones , and especially
Mr. M. , to whom her death is especial
ly severe. As near as can be ascertain
ed her death was caused by congestion
of the brain. The funeral services
were held Tuesday morning , and were
conducted by Rev. Lisle , after which
the remains were interred in the Frank
