By F. M. KIMMELL. $1.60 A YEAR IN ADVANCE. ALL HOME PRINT. A Letter from Judge Cochran. The publisher is in receipt of the following personal letter from Judge Cochran, which he deems of sufficient general moment to re produce in print for the benefit of the readers of The Tribune and of the judge’s many friends here and hereabouts: Salt Lake City, May 25. F. M. Kimmell, Dear Sir and Friend: After casting about sev eral months for a location I have at last cast my lot here. I confess I see no present prospect of mak ing money or securing a law prac tice here, as every line of business, and the profession of law, is well represented by men of merit and a bar of numerical strength as well. But I think there is a good future in store for the territory and the city. They are expending more money in public improvements here than in any city I have seen lately, and there are more good and substantial improvements in the shape of business blocks built and under headway than I have seen elsewhere. The Mormons, too, will, I think, exert themselves to the extent necessary to keep the city in the front of the great pro cession. They are very much changed from the condition we have been taught they were in. Their young men are in various kinds of business enterprises and they are wide awake to the meth ods pertaining to securing prefer ment and the dollar, and if I am not greatly mistaken they are look ing much more to the material prosperity of their people than to the advancement of their religion. They seem to be a good business people; the finest stores in the city, aud I think some of the finest I ever saw, are kept by the Mor mons in this city. They are much more conservative than I supposed, however, and are averse to rapid strides in the way of public im provements. I have seen some cities and states where a more con servative policy would have been better than the one pursued. The largest temperance gathering I ever sa\v, and Rev.Wolley, the lec turer, says the largest strictly temperance meeting ever assem bled . the United States, was held here Sunday night at the Mormon tabernacle, between ten and eleven thousand people being in attend ance. It was a union temperance meeting of the Mormon and all the other churches of the city, the ministers all occupying places with the Mormon bishops and elders. I have formed a partnership with C. H. Martin, formerly of Oxford. We have rented rooms -- in the Commercial block, the finest office building ip the city. We have a very comfortable home six blocks from the office at a rent of §20 per month; it is not a fine house, but a comfortable little brick ®f five rooms, closets, city water, etc., and on the street car line; however, it is within walking distance of the office, church or schools. Mrs. Cochran and Alice very much enjoy the change and imagine they are much benefitted already. Their appetites are much improved and Mrs. Cochran walks more here in one day than she did back there in a month; Sunday we walked three miles and yesterday | over four miles. We have teen ^boarding and living in furnished |ooms and the rest has contributed much, I presume, to their im P^ved condition as the change of aate. If the territory and improves as I hope and think will, this will certainly be a location for all branches of business; but if from the depres sion of silver or any other cause it should be checked in its present progress, I think it would then be a very poor location for any kind of business. I find we have to take some chances wherever we go. By-tlie-way I have not received your paper since coming here, and I believe I understood that you would send it to me; perhaps it may be coming but not to the cor rect address; send to 74-5 Com mercial block. Salt Lake City. I find very many people here whom I knew in different parts of Nebraska. Regards to you all, J. E. Cochran. INDIANOLA ITEMS. E. J.

The memorial services were broken into, Tuesday, by the slight shower that came up about noon. The services at the cemetery were postponed until after the oration which was delivered by Rev. E. J. O’Neill, of Pawnee City, and was a masterly etfort, highly pleasing the large audience that crowded into the double room of the high school building. After the oration a line of march was formed in the following order: Sons of Veterans, Daughters of Veterans, Modern Woodmen, school children, G. A. R., W. R. C., followed by citizens and marched to the cemetery and decorated the graves of departed soldiers and a mound dedicated to the unknown dead. A few Nebraska newspaper men are evidently dissatisfied with his excellency Governor Crounse. So far as The Tribune is able to judge the governor is attending strictly to his knitting and is not making any special bid for the approbation of the newspapermen aforesaid. The burning question with house wives of all lands, all creeds, and all ages is: “Which is the best Cooking Stove?” S. M. Cocbran & Co. answer this question today by proclaiming the “Chabtbb Oak Stoybs” to be the best in every conceivable shape.
