who was convicted in district court over a year since for numerous forgeries is again wanted by several McCook merchants not for forgery this time but for obtaining goods under false representations Wrights first offense consisted in a number of forgeries of checks in this city For this he was convicted and one of the several counts was sent to the penitentiary at Lincoln for five years Five other counts were for a while held against him but were at a recent term of court taken off the docket and quashed Wrights latest offense is receiving goods under false pretenses Issuing his own personal checks and in most instances receiving small balances in cash in payment of bills owing by him to local merchants We are ad vised that some ten or fifteen indivi uals in the city are losers in various amounts none of them fortunately in considerable sums After Wright had served about a year under his five year sentence he was on petition of friends in this city released by Governor Shallen berger on parole Last Saturday he failed to report to his sponsors disappearing from the city and presumably is still at large Shortly after his disappearance became known that several McCook merchants held his personal checks in various small amounts and that no money was to his account in th bank Wright had receievd some money from England during this summer and the fact that he was a liberal buyer and paid for his goods gave him a credit among those he dealt with This last act places Wright among those who would rather be a crook than not a fact The Tribune regrets the more on account of those who have done heroic work to give him an opportunity to make good t MODERN PRESCRIPTION- SERVICE Modern service in the compounding of recipes prescriptions and all sorts of labratory

health officers of tho city have every reason to boliovo that tho end of the scarlet fovor opidemic is in sight It has boon a strenuous period and the tho oxtremo warm weather has made tho task doubly difficult With a few notable exceptions tho citizens have responded to ovory order of the authori ties and for their cooperation in this respect tho officers aro deoply grateful Very fow now cases have developed this week and quarantines aro being raissd daily The one proposition which has up to this time baflled those in charge of tho situation was tho source of the infec tion Limited as the infected territory has been to tho residonce portion of tho city proper tho authorities felt that tho search for the source of infoction was the all important problem bofore thorn Tho water supply was suspocted and invesigatedthe sower system was thor oughly cleansed tho streets and alleys wero cleaned as never before and the source of infection remained undiscov eredJ It is however confidently believed that the real trouble at least tho prob ablo source of the later infections was discovered on Tuesday afternoon by the cit s health officers when they made a personal inspection of the Carter dai ry located several miles east of the city and found a member of the Carter fam ily a young man who assists with tho milking infected with scarlet fever and in the desqumating stage of the disease The authorities at once took charge of the matter and will see to it that no milk from tho Carter dairy or from cows now thereon is imported nto the city until the entire plant has been thor oughly disinfected and cleansed It is possible that recent exposures have oc curred from this source All such caes should develop within the next ten days but uutil this period has olapsed the matter is in doubt It is important therefor that all cases of sickness be promptly reported to the health officers in order that proper inspections may be made If the citizens will continue to cooperate with the health officers it is confidently believed that tho end of the epidemic is near The health officers can direct and advise but results can be accomplished only by and throjgh the unselfish and hearty cooKjration of the people themselves The Board of Health Work Progresses on Catholic Church Jasper Northrup of McCook started work Monday on exterior remodeling of the Catholic church A substantial concrete foundation will be built a concrete coating of one half inch will be spread over the entire brick work concrete steps and balustrades will be constructed and in other ways the edifice will be
