Where the Value Is
Only two worthful items enter into
the value of advertising namely quant
ity and quality that is how many and
how good The McCook Tribune is in
a field by itself locally on these two
points We challenge and invite in
spection and comparison We can give
you from two to three times the value
for your money that any other Red
Willow county publication can offer
you
Old Settlers Were Old Soldiers
That the early settlers of Red Willow
county were largely of tho old soldier
element is indicated says William Wey
gint one of the original settlers of the
county by tho fact that at the first
election held in the county of a total
vote of some hundred and forty odd
about eighty voters were old soldiers
Have You Houses To Rent
Then you should be supplied with
rent receipt books The Tribune has
just what you want compact and com
plete
In Texas
First Texan We havent had a
norther for twenty four hours
Second Texan Of course not Its

Advertising is strictly a business
proposition The Tribunes subscrip

STEK Sunday In a prison is
welcomed as one of tho great
days of the year when there
is a little extra indulgence in
the way of eating and amusement and
some relaxation in the usual discipline
The prison officials endeavor as far as
possible to make the day a little dif
ferent from the usual Sunday though
with the best intentions they cannot
do much
Easter Sunday begins for the prison
ers at about half past 7 when the great
prison bell rings and the guards un
lock the cell doors Away down the
corridor you hear a stamp stamp as of
an advancing gianr Line after line of
black and gray striped ligurcs march
out on their way to breakfast
The mess room with its rows of desk
like tables capable of seating more
than a thousand men looks like an im
mense schoolroom At the end of each
table is a great pile of bread cut in
thick slices beside which stands a
keeper Each man on taking his seat
finds before him a tin plate containing
Sis breakfast a pint of coffee a slice
of bread and a knife and fork If he
wants any more bread he holds up his
right hand and the guard at the end of
the table passes it to him By holding
xMiyiilMlJs
DUETS ARE HEARD
up his plate or cup he can get more
coffee or whatever there may be for
breakfast Waste is avoided but no
man needgo away from the table un
satisfied After a busy quarter of an
hour the keeper in charge of the first
company knocks on the table and the
men in his charge some fifty or sixty
rise at once and form into line eacli
carrying his knife and fork in his hand
The keeper takes his station at the
door and as each man passes out he
must deposit his knife and fork in the
box provided for that purpose
If the day is fine the men are march
ed around tho yard for half an hour
still keeping their formation and a
strange sight it is to see the long lines
of men marching in and out around
the buildings in endless procession
Exercises over away they march to
the chapel which owing to the efforts
of the chaplain and his friends is dec
orated with flowers and plants dis
posed so as to hide as much as possi
ble the telltale bars and other sugges
tive items Each man as he enters re
ceives a printed programme of the
services containing also the hymns to
be sung by the congregation For
weeks previously the prison choir has
been practicing Easter music and as
a rule the prison choir is quite compe
tent to give as good a choral service as
those of a great many city churches
there being no lack of Avell trained
voices even a male soprano voice be
ing far from unusual The programme
is a great deal more varied and exten
sive than you would hear in a church
and partakes more of the character of
a sacred concert Solos duets trios
quartets and even quintets are heard
varied by selections by a capital or
chestra and in some prisons a full
brass band Often some of the pieces
are by some talented prisoner
The religious services are brief most
of the time being taken up by the
choir The whole is over in about an
hour and a half Then comes the
march back to the cells each man re
ceiving as he passes tho mess room a
tin containing his afternoon meal
which consists of three hard boiled
eggs some cold potatoes and as much
bread as he cares to take Taking his
place at the lever which locks every
door on that gallery the keeper waits
until each man is in his place At the
signal each door is closed with a bang
snap goes the lever and fifty doors are
securely locked Then comes the count
Each man stands behind his door
which being formed of iron bars per
mits him to be plainly seen and as the
keeper knocks with his key in passing
answers Here A second keeper re
peats the count and then for the pres
ent each man is left to the enjoyment
of his own company
At 12 oclock the prison wakes up
again a little as the mess room Avaiters
pass from door to door with great cans
of boiling coffee Soon all is quiet
asain and little can be heard as the
afternoon drags along except the soft
footfall of the felt shod patrol or an
impatient sigh from a wakeful prison
er At 5 oclock fresh water is served
out to each man and his lamp is light
ed Slowly the time drags along until
0 oclock when at the striking of the
prison gong all lights are put out the
great prison is soon as quiet as a city
of the dead and Easter Sunday has
parsed New York Evening Tost
Proclamation to Aid Cattlemen
Governor Sheldon Tuesday issued a
cattle quarantino proclamation which
will becomo ofTectivo through an agreo
mont reached with tho federal bureau
of animal industry Tho proclamation
was prepared by State Votorinnrian
McKim Tho proclamation divides
tho state into two largo districts tho
cloan and infected From tho
former district cattlo may movo to
stato or interstato markets without
inspection oxcopt in those isolatod in
stances where the cattlo aro reported
as infected This rofors to tho pres
ence of scabios although tho procla
mation is intended to cover noc only
senbios but other cattlo disoases as
well Cattle in tho infected division
of tho stato will movo undor tho same
inspection rules as heretofore
When cattlemen first seriously pro
tested against tho regulations in tho
stato a curious situation arose Tho
stato was perfectly willing to inspect
cattlo for homo markets but had no
monoy with which to do it Tho fed
oral bureau on tho other hand would
inspect cattlo but would tako nothing
less than tho ontiro atato as a unit
Either tho entiro stato was clean
or infected according to tho broad
methods of the federal bureau This
caused much inconvenience loss and
was an apparent injustice Governor
Sheldon protested and tho following
proclamation is tho result
Whereas Tho stato of Nebraska has
been undor quarantino for cattlo
scabies by tho federal government and
whereas upon request of tho governor
and of tho deputy stato veterinarian
of tho stato of Nebraska tho honorable
secretary of agriculture and tho chief
of tho bureau of animal industry havo
decided to remove on May 1 1908 said
federal quarantino from tho counties of
Red Willow Frontier Gosper Phelps
Buffalo Sherman Valley Greeley
Boone Antelope Knox and all counties
lying east and south of these and havo
consented to co operato with tho offi
cials of tho stato of Nebraska in tho
control and eradication of scabies with
in tho stato
Now thorefore pursuant to author
ity granted by chapter 4 article 2
complied statutes of Nebraska it is
hereby ordered
First That all of tho area of the
stato lying west and north of tho
above named counties shall bo under
quarantino for scabies in cattlo and
that tho regulations of tho honorable
secretary of agriculture known as B
A I order No 14 now effective in
tho interstato movement of cattlo aro
hereby adopted to control tho in
spection and tho movement of cattlo
from and within the quarantino area of
tho stato of Nebraska
Does Grain Trust Exist
The Beaver Valley Grain Company of
Danbury complains that tho grain trust
is camping in its trail and trying to put
it out of business Frequent announce
ments have been made that the grain
trust in Nebraska was busted that it
ceased to exist when Senator Norris
Brown obtained an injunction from the
state court dissolving the Nebraska
Grain dealers association Public com
plaint of a grain trust had not been
heard until Secretary G F Godown of
tho Beaver Valley company aired his
grievance He wrote to J S Canaday
of Minden secretary of the stato co-operative
grain dealers association charg
ing that an effort was being made to
run his company out of business The
letter was sent by Mr Canaday to the
secretary of state Yesterday Deputy
Secretary Wait turned it over to At
torney General Thompson
Secretary Godown writes that his
company is operating an eIeator at
Danbury and that during the past
winter the Central Granaries company
and tho Duff Grain company which
own elevators both at Danbury and Mc
Cook paid nine cents more for grain at
Danbury than they paid at McCook
there being no farmers elevator at Mc
Cook Ho asks whether there is a state
law to prevent this sort of competition
Attorney General Thompson believes
the King discrimination law does not
reach the case but that the general anti
trust statutes may apply He said if
the complaintaat would give him the
particulars of the case ho might be able
to give an opinion
The King bill passed by the last legis
lature prevents corporations from selling
1 any commodity at a lower rate in one
section of the state than in another
after making due allowance for trans
portation but it is silent on the ques
tion of buying any product and paying
therefor a higher price in one section
than is paid in another The Junkin
act passed in 1905 contains a similar
provision but the Junkin act also con
tains provisions against combinations or
conspiracies to monopolize trade or to
restrict trade Tho Nebraska Grain
Dealers association was enjoined from
continuing in operation by an order of
injunction obtained by Senator Norris
Brown when he was attorney general
Ho instituted his suit against the associ
ation not under any ono section of the
statutes but under the various anti trust
laws of the state Lincoln Journal
