flje ||t®aol I'ribayt. j By F. M. K1MMELL. ( $1.60 A YEAR IN ADVANCE. m ■ - — ALL HOME PRINT. Tub legislature adjourned on Saturday noon last. The wisdom ■jf the session time alone will tell. The services of special agent E. p. Marshal and J. S. Stidger of Nebraska have been dispensed with. The bill to leave it optional with juries whether the death pen alty should be inflicted or not has passed and will become a law. Col. Cowgill expects to get the McCook land office for his share of the democratic spoils. He de serves a plum of some sort.—Hold rage Nugget. The McCook Tribune is mak ing a strong and brave fight for a purer municipal government. Mc Cook could easily stand a little purification and the Tribune is on the right track.—York Times. On the right track, Timothy, soy eon, but just a nose behind. It occurs to The Tribune that Cditor R. B. Wahlquist is a little eew at the business to be making iSTich observations as this: “A man ’flwuys steps a little higher when fee is married. This should be ex cused.” Too previous entirely. A circular has been issued call ing for a meeting to be held at Cjnrtis on Saturday, the 15th inst., ,!t 8 o’clock p. m., for the purpose yt forming an editorial association df publishers on the Cheyenne branch from Holdrege to Yenango. The saloon interests earned the day in a recent village election in 'Senkelman and the “wets” are de termined to have a paper estab lished in that place to voice their sentiments. O. W. DeWald of the Trenton Register, we are credibly illvised, will be at the helm. Doubtless Arbor day, which >ccur-s on the 22d inst., will be fit tingly observed throughout the state in harmony with the sugges tions contained in the generous proclamation and t^o spirit which inspired the institution of the holiday. \ So par this has been one of fh^ most disastrous seasons for prairie Sres that Nebraska has experienced ih many years. The losses sus tained already will amount up in the hundreds of thousands of dol lars. And the crop of fools does apt appear to be perceptibly di uitnished. This is the season for prairie Sires and again the destruction of fclXe property cf farmers is great. Why will they not learn from ex perience to take the necessary precautions to guard against these iQpual visitations? It is a very sitDple matter to establish fire breaks about their dwellings, barns corrals, and those who utilize ihg safeguards that experience has taught are necessary to protect ttvgir property from these fires are j<<dora sufferers. The railroads running between Olaicago and the Ohio river have de -wfled to make a rate of 2 cents a for the round trip to the world’s fair, with the privilege of mdei ing on a still lower rate for jff&cinl excursions if it is seen that (Jio standard schedule is not stimu Utfug the traffic to a proper extent, fte managers of the roads in that territory are to be congratulated ofjon their good judgment. They will in the end be better off and ^iTb much better service than the lines that are doing their best to lold the people up to the regular tofiff rates. i INDIANOLA ITEMS. M. S.
