EIGHTEENTH YEAR McCOOK. , RED WILLOW COUNTY , NEBRASKA , FRIDAY EVENING. MAY 4 , 19OO. NUMBER A Case of Infanticide. Thursday , while the well on the old Ed Fitzgerald property in South Mc Cook was being cleaned out , the well- preserved remains of an infant boy were discovered in the water at the bottom of the well. Since the destruction of the Fitzgerald dwelling , u > ear or two since , the property has practically been aban doned , and rubbish of every imaginable description bad accumulated in the well , which of course at once fell into disuse ; and this terrible crime would doubtless never have come to light had "Shorty" Hosier not recently built a small build ing on the premises and commenced to place the well in condition for use. The matter was at once placed in the hands of Coroner Joseph Spoils , who im paneled a jury and commenced an in vestigation which continued during yes terday afternoon and was resumed , this morning. .The coroner's jury returned a verdict , late this morning , that the child came to its death by causes and persons un known. Suspicion attached to a young woman , who left Ihe cily quite recently , but there was a lack of positive evidence. The County Teachers.

McCook's Relief Fund. Arrangements are rapidly being com pleted by the several committees and organizations having the matter in hand for a successful effort on the part of the people of McCook to raise n considerable sum of money to assist in relieving the famine sufferers in India. Several com mittee meetings have been held during the week , and plans are being matured which will be carried into successful ex ecution on May 15111 , when it is expected to have a half holiday the afternoon a sort of a field-day , with sports of various kinds , together with a dinner , and an ice cream and strawberry social in the even ing.The The McCook Athletic club will have the sports in charge. They will be heh on the club's ball and bicycle park 01 the west side. There will be a game.o base ball between the Athletic club am the Cedar Bluffs aggregation , some bicy cle racing , running and jumping events By next issue we will be able to give the entire programme , which will be an en tertaining one , and should attract a large crowd to the city and park on the I5th. The ladies of the different churches of the * citv will serve supper in the base ment under the old Famous clothing store in the Workman block. A sub stantial bill of fare will be spread. A landsome sum should be realized from this feature. In the evening in the opera hall an ce cream and strawberry social will be held , presided over by the ladies of the Awl-Os club. This will doubtless be a popular feature of the day , and will add substantially to the fund. The school children will also have a villing hand in this relief work. A col- ection will be taken in the different grades , and it is expected that a helpful inn will be raised from among the more han 600 children of our city schools. The people of the city generally are ieeply interested in this work , and out of our willing abundance a liberal gift vill come for the relief of India's starv- ng millions. SOME GENERAL INFORMATION. Monathi mission of the American board is preparing to care for 2,000 or phan children. Give of your abundance to help the starving in India , and discuss the ethical points afterwards. Infant mortality is terrible , as without sufficient and proper nouris'hment they soon turn into mere skeletons and die. At least 25,000,000 people art : on the verge of starvation in India and their cry for food is one the world must hear. There are five camps in Talukacoun- ty ; xvith a population of 77,000 ; the aver age is 5,000 to each camp aud the worst is yet to come. A large proportion of the population is , as a matter of fact , on the relief works opened by the government. About 5,000,000 people are thus employed. Every cent contributed to the Indian Famine Relief fund is used for purposes of relief , barring a slight expense in curred in cabling the money to India. THE TRIBUNE knows of one man , a farmer over on Ash creek , who has given $20 to .the famine sufferers. Others in that neighborhood have given various articles of jewelry to be converted into Is the needful cash. How the money goes One dollar will feed 20 men , women and children for a day. Five dollars will feed more than a hundred hungry children. Ten dollars will help more than 200 people to go to government relief camp for work. Fifty dollars will rescue from starvation 50 children for a month. Ladles Wishing to paper their rooms should not fail to see McMillen's wall papei.

They do say that every Sunday wit- sesses one or two pretty stiff games of joker in progress in our city , part of the 'talent" being local and part imported , is stated by "The Wise Guy" that iome of the home artists are "dead asy. " Complaint is made that certain school hildren damage trees , fences etc. on .heir way to and from school. It is to fondlj- hoped that this simple refer- nce to the matter will be sufficient to heck any inclination any may have in his direction. Every school child should lave a profound respect for the rights of property and should protect trees as he vould an innocent bird. The Great Ball Nozzle.
