A. McMILLEN ,
DRUGGIST.
This world is full of inconsistencies :
McCook has a saloonist who is opposed
to irrigation by water. "Rot gut" is
evidently his favorite "irrigant. "
Well , how would a canning factory
strike you now ? There is one in sight ,
and ready to materialize as soon as we
can raise the corn , beans , tomatoes , etc.
The Culbertson Roller Mill is now

The irrigation enthusiasts wanted to
celebrate the victory for irrigation , Sat

ful mayor withheld his consent. He
was fearful of a possible conflagration.
Any man who has a good team can
secure work on the C. H. Meeker ditch ,
right now. The supply of men with
out horses will probably exceed the de
mand. While there is a , scarcity of
teams.
If McCook intends to celebrate the
Glorious Fourth becomingly hadn't we
better get together and devise ways
and means for flying the national bird
to sublime heights on that natal day ?
What are the wild waves saying , anyhow ?
This week we commence the publica
tion of a series of articles by a pioneer
settler of our county. The writer was
on the ground early , has been an ob
server of events , and has a clever way
of writing , which will make them very
interesting to our readers.
Parties may commute timber culture
entries at $1.25 per acre under the act
f\P 1Vfn . / < 1i 3A
road limits or not , on proof of compli
ance with the law for four years when
the entry is valid and not forfeited by
any subsequent failure to comply with
the law.
With the change of name , next week ,
of the Monitor , McCook will have a
Democrat and a True Democrat , a re
publican and a sterling republican news
paper. But above all THE TRIBUNE
lays claim tc a distinct reputation us
being a McCook newspaper , a home
newspaper in the truest sense.
Of the 452 votes cast at the bonds
election , last Saturday , 363 were for
and but 75 against the proposition. On
14 ballots the word "yes" was written
instead of a X being made. These votes
of course were not counted , but the in
tention of the voters is clear , and raises
the total vote for the bonds to 377 , over
5 to 1.
In view of the fact that since the
election it is mighty hard to find a man
who did not vote for the bonds , it
would not be becoming in us to exercise
our chantileers too violently. Yet they
are capable of going up in the neigh
borhood of "G , " and THE TRIBUNE
will be excused for entertaining a giild
degree of pride in the result. But we
are all irrigationists now.
In the death of Mrs. Mary A. Jacobs ,
Tuesday morning , Perry precinct loses
one of her oldest and most respected
citizens. The deceased had reached
beyond the allotted three score and ten
years of life , and died of old age. The
funeral occurred , -yesterday morning ,
from the residence of a daughter , Mrs.
W. S. Hamilton. Remains were laid to
rest in Longview cemetery. /

Arrangements have been perfected
for the transfer of the Buffalo Jones
herd of buffalo from Culbertson to Mc
Cook , and the entire number , between
70 and 80 head , are expected to arrive
here , this evening. It is proposed to
keep the herd on the Hockneli school
section 16 , about two miles northeast of
the city. This is doubtless the largest
and one of the very few remaining
herds of bison. It will prove a great
attraction ; and is a monument to the
liberality of our people , who put up
generously to secure them.
THE TRIBUNE is ten years old to-day ;
and by the by , McCook's days are about
the same in number. Established at
the city's birth , aiming ever to actively
espouse her best interest , the history
of THE TRIBUNE during the past nine
years has been the history of McCook.
We have rejoiced with her prosperity ,
whistled when the darksome clouds of
adversity were lowering , and now enter
the closing year of the decade with re
newed courage and buoyant hopes born
of a bright prospect. In a sentence ,
THE TRIBUNE will continue to lead
for McCook.

They consisted of a fervid , patriotic

CARD OF THANKS.
In behalf of the South Side farmers
I wish to thank the many citizens of
McCook and vicinity for the noble
manner in which they responded to the
call for help in our irrigation enterprise.
We will ever hold in grateful remem
brance those wl'O labored so untiringly
to secure the bonds. In marked con
trast to the manly and patriotic spirit
manifested by the many was the narrow-
minded "dog in the manger" feelings
displayed by a few men who by years
of extortion and sharp practice have
grown rich , and now are not willing to
help improve the country where there
is a possibility for others to be bene-
fitted as well as themselves. It is not
improbable that such people will some-
uiiu iuciiistivu& in a cumiuj wiiure
the one absorbing theme of thought and
prayer will be irrigation , and although
the fall may be ample and the water in
our "South Side' * ditch sufficient to
supply the demand , it is doubtful if
even Mr. Meeker will attempt to flume
the canon that intervenes.
JOHN WHITTAKER.
NOT A CANDIDATE.
INDIANOLA , NEB. , May 25th , 1891.
EDITOR TRIBUNE I wish to inform
you as well as the readers of the TRIB
UNE that the statement in your last
week's issue concerning my probable
candidacy for county superintendent is
premature , erroneous and as far as I
am concerned absolutely without found
ation. Whenever approached on this
subject I have never left any doubt in
any honest man's mind as to how I
stood on the question. I am not a
candidate. Yours truly ,
WALTER ROWLAND.
COMFORT AND STYLE.
Both comfort and style are desirable.
Indeed when the matter of selecting a
livery rig is concerned , they are abso
lute necessities. The Circle Front
Livery Stable make these a study , and
together with their prompt and courte
ous treatment and reasonable charges
they offer every advantage possible to
the public. Their new surrey is the
acme of comfort and elegance.
McCook Is "In It. "
Let the irrigationists and every one
else rejoice. For many months we have
been down in the trough of the sea.
We are now ascending toward the crest ,
and if "fortune favors the brave , we
will straddle the highest wave , ' " and ride
to victory. There is music in the air.
