    IT PREYED ON HIS MIND
And H. H. Ackerman Took His
Own Life.
Word was brought to the city, late
Sunday night, that H. H. Ackerman, a
farmer living about 13 miles southeast of
the city, had shot and killed himself,
Sunday afternoon, at about three o'clock.
The circumstances leading up to the com
mission of this terrible deed are of unus
ual sadness and pathos. It appears that
the deceased had a horse afflicted with
the glanders. The diseased auirnal was
being doctored by a hired man, a Swede
whose name we have not been able to
learn. The Swede contracted the disease
from the horse and died on last Friday
night. He was buried on the day follow
ing, together with everything thought
to be contaminated. This sad death, and
the fear that other persons or animals
might become victims of the loathsome
malady, doubless so preyed on the un
fortunate man’s mind as to cause him to
take his own life. It is one of the sad
dest tragedies in Red Willow county's
history. The deceased is thought to
have been in fair circumstances, having
some money, we understand, in a Mc
Cook bank. It is stated that he was
comparatively a recent settler. A wife
and a brother are left to mourn his un
happy death. The remains were buried
in a neighboring burial ground, Monday.
The deceased was a young man, per
haps not much over 30 years of age. He
formerly lived in Livingston county, Ill
inois. He moved to Gerver preciuct,
this county, about a year ago.
Commissioners Ryan and Graham and
County Attorney Dodge were at the
Ackerman place, on last Friday, arrang
ing for the nursing and keeping of the
sick Swede, who died the same night.
T he Afflicting Hand of Death.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Me
Millen has been made desolate and cheer
less, this week, by the destroying, pitti
less hand of death. Little Hazel, aged
four years, their only and beloved child,
who has been afflicted with that ruthless
slayer of the innocent—scarlet fever—for
the past few weeks, succumbed to the
fell disease about midnight Sunday, des
pite all efforts made for her succor. Ser
vices of a private and appropriate nature
were conducted at the home on Tuesdaj'
morning, by Rev. H. S MacAyeal of
Cambridge. The joy and light of their
home was afterwards mingled with ten
derness and tears with Mother Earth in
peaceful Longview. The great, loving
heart of this entire community beats in
tenderest sympathy with the bereaved
and inconsolable young parents.
Profitable Farming.
C. H. Meeker gives us the following
idea of the profits of scientific irrigation.
This season his tenant on the farm south
of the river irrigated a 4-acree truck gar
den patch. Cabbage, tomatoes, sweet
potatoes, beans, peas, melons, etc., were
planted. Already Mr. Meeker has re
ceived as his one-third interest in the
sale of produce from the tract $226.15,
and he informs that there is enough un
sold produce on the place to swell the
gross receipts from those four acres to
$700. In addition there was a 47-acre
patch of corn on his place, from which
they have cribbed 3,000 bushels of corn.
These are certainly very encouraging fig
ures for the friends of irrigation.
Since the hired man of the Times-Dem
ocrat has proven(?) by all the gods, both
great and small, that it is the only news
paper in McCook, perhaps the rest of us
had as well move out. But then, it is
just probable that the hired man has
been effervescing through his tile. May
be he is mistaken. The Tribune will
remain just this one week in order to
gain the benefit of the doubt. In the
meantime we recommend that Pete se
cure the services of a doctor and his
stomach pump and have some of that
wind removed, or a little superfluous
water let out of his dome of thought.
The Lutheran church was crowded on
Monday night to hear Rev. M. A. Hamp
ton of Lincoln deliver his lecture on the
subject, “The Marriage Ceremony.” It
is universally conceded by the many in
attendance that the lecture was thorough
lv excellent in subject matter and in the
style of delivery. The gentleman has a
lecture well worth a hearing at any place
he may visit.
Colonel Peterson is now looking for
new worlds to conquer. Having in his
fruitful imagination placed the temporal
and political affairs of Red Willow county
at his feet, he now rushes in where an
gels fear to tread, and undertakes to dic
tate in local religious affairs. But Pete
will discover, before the completion of
his last contract, that his Pegasus has
an abnormally large pair of ears.
The Methodist brethren held their first
quarterly meeting, Monday evening. The
report shows this quarter to be the best
the church has ever had, twenty-three
new members being added to the church,
and everything else being in a gratifying
condition._
Coupled with the rumors of the possi
ble removal of city headquarters in the
spring comes the old-timer that the post
office will be carted down Main avenue
in the not distant future. Evidently there
are some amusing and swift times ahead.

the danger from fire has correspondingly
increased. Look well to your flues.

Shrinkage in Grain.
Au observing farmer has been talking
about the shrinkage in grain. He says:
“I notice that wheat will shrink two
quarts to the bushel in six months from
ordinary threshing under the most favor
able circumstances, hence it follows that
64 cents the first of August, when thresh
ed, is the same as 75 cents six months
later—money worth 7 per cent. One
hundred bushels of corn as it comes from
the husk in November will measure only
eighty when seasoned; thus 30 cents in
November is the same as 40 cents in
March.” On corn the law takes loss in
weight into account, and up to January 1,
75 pounds must be given for a bushel.
District Judge Welty has cancelled the
December term of court, and none will
be held until some time next spring.
Why he did so we have not been inform
ed, but it will be some disappointment to
a good many people who have business
before the court.—Hayes Centre Repub

row.
The masquerade ball in the opera

a pronounced success in every particular.
There were between forty and fifty per
sons present from home and Holdrege en
masque, besides many who were merely
spectators of the amusement. There
were quite a number of handsome cos
tumes and no end of the comical. Prof.
Reizenstein made merry the dancers’

“dead loads” of fun, and a very enjoya
ble time throughout. But, oh, what a
difference in the morning, “after the
ball was over.”

The Independent Enterprise, perhaps
unwittingly, fell into error, last week, in
its reference to the Electric Light Com
pany’s franchise. The company holds a
franchise for twenty-one years, instead
of for five years. However, the city’s
contract with the company for street
lighting, we believe, does expire some
time next spring. Also the city’s lease
of the hall in rear of the First National
bank for jail, fire and general municipal
purposes. And doubtless these and other
stirring elements will conspire to make
the coming spring election what Colonel
Mitchell of the Courier would be happy
to tag as a “campaign of education.’’

small,or when the snow of winter strikes,
we shall have no pants at all.”

The 700 banks in Nebraska have it in
their power to set in motion the business
wheels of this great commonwealth
which have been clogged by the finan
cial congestion. The sooner they cease
hoarding money and return it to the
channels of trade by re-depositing in the
reserve cities of Omaha and Lincoln the
better. With such crops and evidences
of prosperity on all sides, country bank
ers should think over this suggestion and
act promptly.—Nebraska Farmer.
A representative of the state under
writers association has been in the city,
this week, and since the improvements
about completed in McCook’s fire pro
tection, it is probable that the insuranct
rates may be reduced somewhat. Such
a move is greatly to be desired as the
rates are now quite burdensome. Tilt
new standpipe will largely increase the
efficiency of our fire department.
Down in Adams county an effort is be
ing made to have the money accumulated

There are arguments for and against the
proposition.
