M'COOK TRIBUNE. F. SI. KIJIMKLT , , Publisher. McCOOK , - - NEBRASKA NEBRASKA The Burlington depot of Indianola was destroyed by fire. Arbor Day was quite generally ob served throughout the state. The Kingman Implement company's warehouse at Omaha burned , entailing a loss of § 400,000. Sarpy county fruit growers report 'a fine prospect for apples. Peaches are all killed , however. The fine high school building at Al liance is deemed unsafe by reason of prevailing winds and it is generally believed that It will have to be con demned. At a meeting held by the reorganiza tion committee of company E at North Platte fifteen persons were enrolled as members of the local company , which will be mustered into the national uard. A plan to establish telephone con nections with the outside wcrld is meeting with success in Osceola. Twenty-seven subscribers have been secured and only ten more -are re- cuired. Lyons is to have -another school building. Itwas so decided after sev eral meetings had been called at the high school. This building is to be of frame , and built for the lowest con tract price , and to be located down town , near the Catholic church. The postoffice at Yeager , eight miles south of Beaver City , was burned , -with its entire contents. The Joss -was ' $1,800 , Insured in the Central Mutual of Has tings for $1,100. The postofflce was located in the store of Postmaster Yeager , the family living in the second end story , and they all had JL narrow escape from death. - The westbound freight .on the Un ion Pacific picked up a man three miles from Gibbon , lying near the track in an unconscious condition. He was taken to the Kearney city hos pital and an examination showed he was injured on the head , temple , oa the knees , right hand and spine. He had fallen from the train. The Standard Beet Surar company at Ames made a lucky strike at the factory site in sinking an artesian well. They are down to a depth of 235 feet , and have secured a fine flow of pure water that is entirely free from alkali. It flows a stream sixteen feet above the surface of the ground that is large enough for irrigation purpos es. es.W. W. J. Scott , a stockman from Mexico - co , is looking over the grazing land near Wallace and has concluded to bring up about 10,000 head of cattle to be herded in the sand hills north of Wallace. Mr. Scott is the representa tive of large cattle interests in Mexico and means to utilize some of the many tiiousand acres of land in Lincoln county. The Grand Army of the Republic post of McCook has contracted for a large twelve-foot monument in mem ory of our dead heroes. Standing on the base will be a soldier , six feet high , in the position of "attention. " The unveiling occurs May 31 , and upwards of 5,000 witnesses are expected to been on the ground , including the Third Ne braska regiment. April 25 was a red letter day in the history of Curtis , the event being the opening up for business of the new creamery. The ladies of the town served lunch with creamery butter , the first output. The officers and chief dignitaries were present , -with several distinguished speakers from abroad , and the affair was pronounced a suc cess and highly enjoyed by all. rrbor ) ay in Nebraska City , the home of its founder , J. Sterling Mor ton , was given general observance. The banks and offices were closed. Many citizens spent the entire day in planting shrubs and trees and other wise beautifying their grounds. The usual Arbor Day exercises , attended by a large amount of tree planting , were held at the schools throughout the city. House movers are reaping a harvest now moving buildings from Spencer and Butte to Perry , the new town at the end of the new railroad running from Atkinson north. - Andy Krickas of Butte met twenty-five excursionists that came to Atkinson over the Elkhorn - horn on April 18. They left for Boyd county the next morning to look over the prospects of the new town of Per ry with a view to locating there. This section , says a Callaway dis patch , has witnessed one of the most destructive prairie fires that ever passed through Custer county. Sev eral persons lost their lives and great damage was done to buildings , grain and other property. Seybolt and Alex ander McDonald lost a quantity of corn ; John Kennedy , a stable and oth er property ; O. P. Olson several head of hogs. The latter was severely burn ed. Two farmers named Coe and Mor- riseywere burned to death. Last week a special train contain ing 500 or 600 head of young cattle was shipped into Imperial to be rang ed during the summer. They are owned by Hon. A. C. Shallenberger of Alma , Neb. Milton Eearl has also received several carloads , and County Clerk McClelland leaves for Arizona to purchase several thousand head more. The ranges of Chase county are the finest in the state and are am ple for thousands of head more. The new grass is already furnishing good feed. Quite a building boom is on at Cresco. Cattle in this section of the country , savs a North Platte dispatch , have come through the winter in splendid condition , notwithstanding the unus ually cold weather experienced , and there are at least five times as many cattle in this localiay now as there were two years ago. All of the stockmen and it is no unusual men are prosperous ual thing now for a farmer , who a few groaning under a mortgage vears ago , was gage of $500 on his homestead , to give thousand dollar Sick for two or three lar for a herd of cattle. Letter of Condolence From Secretary Meikeljohn. FATHER Of DECEASED NOTIFIED. Gallant Officer Lost Ills Mfe "While Leading a Charge Uron the Enemy's Works Likelihood that the First Ne braska "Will Soon Sail for Home. 7 he tate Col Stotsenbcrg. Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn sent letters of condolence to the father and wife of the late colonel of the First Nebraska volunteers , J. M. Stotsen- berg , who died leading his troops in the Philippines on April 23. Follow ing is the secretary's letter to Hon , oohn H , Stotsenberg of New Albany , Ind. : "Information that your son , Colonel John .M , Stotsenuerg , First Nebraska , V , S , V , has been killed in battle has been received. That he has met the common doom of mankind in the .noon time of life and at the entrance of A notable career is cause -for deep sorrow and regret. But that .he was killed in battle , leading his command in a suc cessful charge upon the intrenchments of the enemy and met death in the way -a soldier -would .choose toe is some comfort , tnough inadequate to solace the sense 01 .personal bereave- jaent you .now feel. "It may be J , comfort lo you to know i at -department did not wait until .his death .to do him honor. When the legislature of Nebraska , the gov ernor of-that state and other prominent citizens , laboring under a misunder standing of the great work your son was accomplishing with his regiment , .asiced to have him relieved of his com mand , the response of this department was. : " 'Itwould be destructive to disci pline and would imperil the interests of the service to dismiss from the volunteer army on an exparte state ment an officer with an unblemished record , against whom no complaint has been lodged by or through any mili tary authority. ' "I have this day closed the incident of said complaint by endorsing across the face thereo- these words : 'This officer and soldier was killed in battle at the head of his command while leading a successful charge on the in trenchments of the enemy on April 23. laS9. ' I wish it were within my power to render him and you a greater ser vice. " The Crop Comlltion * . The last Nebraska crop bulletin pre sents this summary : The last week has been dry and windy , with r.n excess of sunshine. The average daily temperature defici ency has varied from about one degree in the western counties to nearly three degrees in the southeastern. The daily maximum temperatures gener ally exceeded 70 degrees on but on * day of the week , and then were but slightly above. The weekly minimum temperatures ranged from 38 degrees to 22 degrees , with heavy frosts in most sections of the state. The rainfall has been below normal in all counties. In most of the , we"5t- ern counties no rain fell. In the cen tral and eastern scattered showers occurred. The amount of rainfall was , however , very small , generally less than a tenth of an inch , except in a few northeastern and southeastern counties , where it ranged from a quar ter to slightly more than half an inch. The last week has been favorable or farm work and rapid progress has been made in seeding small grain. Spring wheat is now all sown , except in a few northern counties , and there the greater portion of the crop is sown. Oat seeding is well advanced everywhere and practically completed in southern counties. Plowing for corn has commenced in most counties and a little corn has been planted in the southern portion of the state. The ground is in goou condition for plow ing and seeding in eastern counties , but is too dry for quick germination and growth , and in some parts of the central western portion of the state seed will not grow until after rain comes. The high winds of the last week have dried the ground rapidly and have been exceedingly unfavor able for winter wheat , and the reports of the condition of this crop are de cidedly less encouraging than they were a week ago , tne estimate of most reports this week being from about all dead'to about a quarter of the crop alive , while a-few estimates in south eastern counties indicate a slightly better condition. Xcw SnRar Factory Ilofjun. The Standard Beet Sugar company of Ames has a force of men at work driving , piling and excavating for the new factory. Carl Leonard of Chino , Cal. , who had charge of the building of the factory there , is superintending the construction of the factory. Two companies have been organizpd in Fremont for the purpose of raising sugar beets. One has a paid up capital stock of $3,000 , divided into shares of $50 each. It has leased J50 acres of land east of the city which is now being prepared for seeding. This com pany expects to expend not to exceed $20 per acre in growing the crop. An other company of seventeen stockhold ers , with a capital of $4,000 , has leased 210 acres northeast of the city for beets. Other individual beet rais ers will probably Increase the acreage of beets in this immediate vicinity to 650 acres. While the ground is dry it is in good condition and the work of planting will be pushed as rapidly as possible. * V Promotions In First Kcgtmcnt. The order issued making promotions in the First Nebraska at Manila insti tutes these changes : Captain Frank D. Eager , Company B , appointed major , to rank from April J > , 1S99. vice Wniiams resigned. ' First Lieutenant Harry L. Archer , adjutant , appointed captain Company H , to rank from April 9 , 1899 , vice Eager promoted. Second Lieutenant Burt D. Whedon , Company C , appointed first lieutenant acd adjutant , to rank from April 9 , 1899 , vice Archer promoted. First Regiment Way Return. Friends of the First Nebraska resi- ment , have been assured that the regi ment will be returned to the United States within a few days. Whether it will be possible for the war depart- Fment to spare the regiment immedi ately is doubted by many. Brad P. Cook of Lincoln is in receipt of the following letters from President Mc- Kinley's private secretary and Assist ant Secretary of War Meiklejohn , which indicate that the regiment may sail for home May 5 : Executive Mansion , Washington. Mr. Brad P. Cook , Lincoln , Neb. : Ply Dear Sir I beg leave to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 15th inst , with enclosure , and to say that it was promptly brought to the atten tion of the president. Very truly yours. yours.GEORGE GEORGE B. CORTELYOU , Assistant Secretary to the President. War Department , Office of the As sistant Secretary , Washington. Mr. Brad P. Cook , Lincoln , Neb. Dear Sir : I am just in receipt of your let ter of the 15th inst , , enclosing copy of a resolution addressed to the presi dent , adopted hy the relatives acd friends of the First Nebraska volun teers , and have very carefully noted the contents of same. In reply I take pleasure in advising you that caule advices just received from General Otis are to the effect that the return of -volunteers Avill commence auout Juay 5 and -will continue as rapidly as tne accommodations of the transport service permit. I earnestly hope that this action of General Otis will serve in some meas ure to allay the natural r.nxiety which the relatives and friends of the Ne braska boys feel as to their return , and perhaps the statement of General Otis to the effect that the health and spirits of the troops are peed will also have a tendency in the same direction. I trust that my interest in the wel fare of the Nebraska regiment Is not lost sight of in the earnest desire for us return to civil life. No efforts of mine have b n sparal to aid the troops in any vay rihin the power of the government , and it would have pleased rae a * much a * anyone bad Si bva panicle to hare ordered th return cf tbo e troojte * oa * time ago. 5n response to th * tfarae * : solicitations which hav entaaaid from the parents and friend * of Xh * * boys. 1 trust , ho . that ib * prupri of their early return will 1 * ? # stUJtar torily regarded.

In the grazies portion of th - * tat * which \ * sparsely settled tlire arc large bodies of government land vhtrh have not be n taken up under th * homestead or other acts which ttrsi l settlers to obtain title from th ROV- ernment. This land Is nererlhle valuable to the owners of herds of cat tle and the luxuriant srrass upon It i turned Into dollars through the me dium of the rattle thai are fattened there every year. The cattlemen do not own this land and no one else has cared to purchase it. The lines defining the ranges are pretty well defined and the rule that no one will trespass on another's range previously occupied by him. Is well es tablished. Tnus the use of the graz ing ground is by unwritten law of the range , made the property of the par ticular ranchman almost as much as if he had purchased It and held a writ ten title to it. Two years ago the national congress passed a law making certain provis ions concerning lands belonging to the government which are Included In the zone known as the semi-arid region , where irrigation and other devices for the distributing and saving and stor ing the water from streams are utiliz ed to assist in the raising of crops or providing domestic animals as well : is men with water for ordinary domestic purposes. One of the provisions of this law is that whenever a person or cor poration builds or constructs a reser voir on or near this unsold govern ment land in the irrigation region , that so much of this land shall be set apart and the constructor of the reservoir shall have the right to use it. The amount of land that a company or person may take possession of is dependent upon the size of the res ervoir , its capacity to hold water and supply the surrounding land with the necessary element for human liveli hood. The reservoir men do not get a title from the government to the land , they simply have the sanction of the lav/ for their occupation and use. Recently there have been several companies formed for the purpose of building reservoirs in the grazing sec tion of Nebraska and filing made for the use of large bodies of this govern ment land. The promoters of these companies ars said to be principally eastern people , but Nebraska citizens are also in this business. The point where the trouble is likely to arise is when these claimants lethe the right to use the land try to oust the /ran / ah men \rno have heretofore held it. The prospect for conflicts of this sort are said to be more than like ly and If the reports that arc coming In lo the state capital of the fooling among the old possessors are not ex- aggregated this does not seem to be far from wrong. Weaver's livery barn in Schuyler , burned to the ground. The fire broke out about 3 o'clock and in less than thirty minutes was completely con sumed. Twenty head of horses were burned , besides twelve carriages and a lot of harness and other parapherna lia. Gibson & Fiddles had the barn rented and owned most of the contents. Messrs. Flynn , Sixta , Grassman and Neihart lost five horses and bungle1 } which were kept in the barns. The total loss is about $0,500 , of which Weaver's is about $3.000 on buildings and the balance , is a loss on personal property within the barn. Otis Improves Lull in Fighting , to Strengthen Position. REPAIRS BRIDGES AND TRENCHES Natives Are Cheerful Over Prospects of Returning Peace Filipinos Ask Us "Would You Fight While We Are Dis cussing Peace ? " A Slight Skirmish With the Insurgents. MANILA , May 1. While it is the general expectation among Americans that the Filipino emissaries will re turn with revised proposals from Gen eral Antonio Luna , Major General Otis is not letting this prospect inter fere with his preparations for pushing tha war. Yesterday he ordered Major General Lawton to return to Angit. a few miles northwest of Xorzagarav , end not tc advance aggressively while the negotiations were pending. Gen eral MacArthur is apparently acting on the same policy , but he is repairing bridges and strengthening the lin s of his force , which is stretched out with a four-mile front , and within a quarter of a mile of the enemy. The possibilities of peace are gratifying to u great majority of the army. whih has regarded the war as an unpleas ant duty that mu > l be performed according - ! cording to Amerk-aa traditions.

ADVANCE ON MALOLOS , Mr. Harrison Grey 1 ells of the Advance on tlio Keljcls's Capital. SAN FRANCISCO , May 1. Released from quarantine today , Brigadier Gen eral Harrison Gray Otis , U. S. V. , who arrived from Manila last night , on the transport Sherman , is a happy man at being again at home. This veteran of three wars is a civilian in time of peace and as soon as he foresaw the termination of hostilities with the fall of Malolos he asked to be allowed to resign. He expects to leave for Los Angeles tomorrow and will at once as sume his position as editor in chief of the Los Angeles Times. He was interviewed today by a reporter of the Associated Press. Speaking of the po sition held by his brigade during the campaign , General Otis said : "In the advance upon Malolos. begun at day light. March 25. my brigade constitut ed the center of the general line and its orders were to pierce the enemy's center , which was done the same day. After this movement was under way the First brigade advanced west of the railway track , running north , and at right angles to it. while the Second brigade advanced abreast on the east side of the same track.
