According to an amendment of the school laws of the state of Michigan , children suffering from consumption , or chronic catarrh must be excluded from public schools. The circumstance is interesting as a first step toward the ipublic recognition of a most important truth , the fact , namely , that the dis orders of the respiratory organs can be propagated by direct contagion.and that the air of a consumptive's sick room , unless constantly ventilated , is apt to become a virulent poison. Ground oil cake. POTTER & EASTERDAY. THE TRIBUNE pleases , it tells you the most. Rev. D. L. McBride of the Baptist church was up at Stratton , several days this week , on business of the cloth. Rev. George F. Taylor of Indianola will occupy the Congregational pulpit next Sunday , both morning and evening. Every succeeding week's issue of THE TRIBUNE piles up bright and clean evidence that McCook has but one newspaper. Drop into the Morlan building , to morrow noon , and indulge in a square meal such as the ladies of the Aid Society will spread for all. It will just cost you twenty-five cents to enjoy the Washington Dinner to be spread by the Methodist ladies in the Morlan building , to-morrow. The regular Monthly examination of teachers will be held by the county superintendent , at Indianola , Saturday , February 28th , instead of Feb. 2lst. The members of the Fortnightly danc ing club have decided to piece out their regular series , which ended last Friday evening , with an extra series of three or four dances. The Ancient Order of Iliberians have issued the invitations to their ball and banquet to be held March 30th. The neat and handsome cards are the work of THE TRIBUNE job rooms. The pound part } ' , Saturday evening , was not the success hoped for. either as to attendance or donation ; which is in a measure attributable to an over production of attractions during the week. By request of the old soldiers of Mc Cook , Rev. P. S. Mather will preach a memorial sermon of General W. T. Sherman. Let all the old comrades be present and pay their respects to the "Grand Old Chief. " Everybody invited. The store of J. C. Allen & Co. was closed , the early days of the week , for invoicing preparatory to the dissolution of partnership which followed. The business will be continued by J. C. Al len , with Dell Lnflin as local manager. A niece of N. J. Johnson of Gerver precinct was before the board at In dianola , last week , 10 be examined as to her mental condition.

E. church , next Sunday evening , and a nice selection of music will be rendered. A very pleasant service is expected. A collection will be taken to procure new music for the choir.

Also , have for sale several residences in Mc Cook on easy terms. Apply to W. H. DAVIS. It may be noted that Bishop Graves of this missionary jurisdiction of the Episcopal church is a progressive churchman , as his suggestion at the late first annual convocation at Grand Island , that woman should enjoy all the rights and privileges equally with the men in the church , would indicate. Representative Modi's oratorical pow ers are bringing him to the front. One of his latest efforts is his presentation speech in delivering to Miss Ball , the fruit girl , a ring and a small sum of money , in recognition of her services in connection with the Senator Taylor boquet , which created such a tempest in a tea pot in legislative circles , the first of the week. Andy performed the job gracefully , too. A good dancer was giving us a dis quisition on the art. He had been watching with evident delight , the week ly parties held of late , and noticed the advancement. The hardest pupil to teach to tread the mazy measures of the waltz is a lady who lays down on you as if to say , "now I lay me down to sleep , " with a reluctant drag that is hard labor to the individual who is try ing to pull her through. Recent teach ing is improving this class , and with an erect attitude , moderate muscular trembling , elastic quick step , the ob server and parties to the performance , expenence a feeling of genuine delight. Lieb's Ryeningine Flap Jack prepar ation. POTTER & EASTERDAY. They Entertain Royally. Mr. and Mrs. C. T. Brewer were at home to u large and brilliant company of friends , last evening , at their pleas ant home corner Melvin and Douglas. Supper of an elaborate and tooths'mio variety was served at seven o'clock , and the rest of the evening until the midnight hour was pleasantly utilized at progressive "high five. " The guests were : Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Ryan , C. E. Shaw , C. F. Babcock , J. Byron Jen nings , W. M. Lewis , S. W. Huddlestoii , Geo. E. Johnston , G. A. Noren , D. E. Bomgardner , A. Campbell , Frank Har ris , A. E. Lytle , J. F. Kenyon , J. F. Majors , H. H. Troth , F. S . Wilcux , J. T. Bullard , F. H. Fowler , C. W. Knights , C. G. Potter , Ed. Jordan , V. Franklin , M. E.

THE TRIBUNE is heartily in favor of organizing a real estate exchange in this city , with the intention of making it the basis of a strong immigration movement. Make it the most active and at the same time the most useful organization in the city. Everyone concedes that the time has come to commence active work for the year in advcrtisingourresources , making known all that has been accomplished in the past , and inducing eastern people to in vest their money in McCook property and the fertile lands of Red Willow county. Indeed , the latter feature of the movement should be given the im portance it deserves , for whatever adds to the farm population of the county contributes directly to the prosperity of the city. The bill to abolish the death penalty in Nebraska is superfluous. There is practically no death penalty to abolish. True , the execution of criminals is au thorized by law , but the maze of tech nicalities and restrictions with which it is hedged by the court ? renders it "more honored by the bench than in observance. " The law is worse than a dead letter. It is successful mainly in aiding the escape of red-handed murder ers a fact which the criminal records of Nebraska sadly attest. What the state needs is a law which will insure the prompt execution of sentences im posed on the guilt } ' . "Busybodies" are three times referred to in the bible and always with disap proval. They are persons who concern themselves about the affaibs of other persons when they have properly and rightfully nothing to do with them and should be content to mind their own business. Such persons are a standing nuisance to every circle in which they move. They are usually exaggerating "tattlers" well as busybodies. All persons in Indianola and vicinity interested in irrigation are hereby re quested to meet at the Opera house in Indianola , next Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock , Feb. 21. The farmers in the vicinity of this city are requested to attend. Matters of importance will come before the meeting. Com. Cour ier. THE TRIBUNE charges every loyal McCookite to have faith in the great future of McCook. McCook has every advantage of location , of commercial prestige , of a state reputation , to make it the fourth city in Nebraska. The late storm extended over the en tire state , and the snow fall was by far the largest of the season. It gives promise of good crops this season , es pecially of fall wheat ; of which a large acreage was sown. THE TRIBUNE is informed that Wm. Coleman has received over $700 in cash , besides quantities of clothing and seed , as a direct result of his aid circulars sent to pastors of eastern churches and to seed firms. If some of the old grit , and snap , and energy of McCook should "break out in a fresh place , " we could reach out and get something. If churches and lodges would strike from the roll those who were unfit , the world would receive a heavy reinforce ment. Sixty extra copies of THE TRIBUNE failed to supply the clamor for this sapient and impartial journal , last week. Everything indicates a good crop and good prices this coming year , in which case we will all fly tolerably high. Red Willow county has plenty of moisture now. Pure fresh buckwheat at POTTER & EASTEBDAY'S. "VERY HEAR IT. ' Frank Huber and Ed. Farrell were the principals in a quarrel , Saturday evening , in which Huber used his re volver , after having been struck by Farrell. Fortunately the bullet only grazed the side of Farrell'a head or the results to both participants would have been painful , to state ic mildly. The encounter grew out of an "end joke' uttered in last week's entertainment by the Merry Minstrels ; and the affair was no doubt precipitated by outside parties who expected nothing more serious perhaps , than a "small scrap. " There was intense excitement on the streets for a time , but it quickly sub sided when the extent of Farrell's in juries were ascertained. On complaint of E. A. Keith , Huber was arrested and bound over to district court in the sum of $500 ; his father and brother being his bondsmen. Far rell declined to sign the complaint. The affair has occasioned : - . great dea oF comment , all agreeing as to the for tunate outcome of so serious a mutter while there is a great variety of'expres sion touching the question of responsi bility and penalty. Irrigation Officers. The law committee of the irrigation convention is still at work. The bil being prepared by them provides for a chief engineer at $2,500 a year , a depu ty at $1,200 , a superintendent in each district at $5 per day , all to be appoint ed by the governor and approved by the board of public lands and buildings. Water commissioners for sub-divisions or districts are to receive $3 per day. Omaha Bee. REMOVAL !
