saddened by the thought that we shall see
her bright face no more, yet we reverently
bow in submission to Gods will: knowing
that He dOeth all things we'll.

BARTLEY NOTES.

o. L. Campbell of McCook was in
BARLEY on Tuesday evening.
Isaac Vandervort, our blacksmith, has
received notice of a pension.
E. r. Moon and family returned
from Decatur, Decatur Co., Kans.
John Weeden and o. Frost seem to
be having a game of hide-and-go-seek.
Many people in BARLEY are joyful
over the findings of the supreme court.
Commissioner G. W. Hodgkin is
busy this week distributing aid coal to
the needy.
S. W. Clark, o. Frost and Commits
sloner Hodgkin were in McCook, on
Wednesday.
If the signs of the times are correct
BARLEY will witness a we'll developed
scandal ere long.
A. H. Barnhart has been very sick
for several days;also has his little daugh-
ter with la grippe.
S. ". Clark, our energetic hardware
merchant, has received the appoint
ment as postmaster at this place.
l.. W. Stevens and family arrived
from Lenox, Iowa. Mr.. Stevens and
family come highly recommended as
good energetic citizens and what is our
gain is Iowa's loss.
The chief mogul of the BARLEY L.
F.-W. makes trips weekly between this
place and the capital city. Undoubt-
edly he is a little nervous over his
pending libel suit as time passes.
We understand that while the "devil'
and the "short nan of BARLEY" were
at work last Sunday the "deviI" became
unmanageable and has not returned as
yet. This is very good for a member
of the church for fifteen years.
M. N. Eskey seems to feel sighted
ver the fact that he was not personal
ly consulted as regards the p~ostofice
appointment. But 1t is consollng to
hear him say: "Wait- till McKeighan-
gets-in." However no attention is paid
to him any more.

While the whole trend of thought
and talk is toward irrigation in some
form, THE TRIBUNE takes the present
opportunity of gathering a thought
wherever found for our readers. One
from an exchange is here stated, and
will be useful for every citizen of the
semi-arid region, which is how to take
the level for an irrigation ditch: "Take
two pieces of 2x4 about 16 feet long
and pin them together at the top, and
near the bottom nail a board across so
that the bottom of the crossed pieces
will just be one rod apart. Then from
the apex hang a good plumb line, level
it and mark the line on the board at
the bottom; also, by calculation, find
the position of the plumb line on the
board at the grade of your ditch and
mark on each side of the center mark,
and you have the entire machine, which
can be walked along, sticking a stake at
every rod, and by means of the plumb
line the grade is kept accurately"
Irrigation may not be generally prac-
ticed in this county, but this simple
knowledge is of benefit to every prac-
teal man.

REPEALED.

One of the last and most important
acts of the late congress, as effecting
this country, was the repeal of the
timber culture and pre- emption laws.
The following telegram to the officers
of the U. S. land Office at McCook will
explain itself:
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 18th, 81.
To Register and Receiver, McCook, Neb.
Timber culture and presumption laws
this day repealed. Allow no further
entries Hereunder of claims hereafter
initiated. LEWIS A. CROFT, Com.

THE COMMERCIAL HOUSE SOLD.

There will be general regret in Nc
Cock upon learning Of the sale of the
Commercial House, which occurred this
this week, Mr.. Fl. NJ. Wolf Of gilbert
son being the purchaser. From a small
beginning Mr.. Johnston has built up a
hotel business second to none in West,
ern Nebraska. His popularity and the
excellence Of his service have made
this the %favorite stopping place for the
commercial men of the Republican
Valley; while his praises are on the
lips of the genial public, with whom
the Commercial has been a prime fav-
orite and headquarters.
The transaction involves a half inter
est in the Culbertson mill, some land
and cash, and is one of the heaviest
deals ever made in McCook. Mr.. John
ston retains his farm neal McCook as
we'll as bis other real estate interests
in this part of the state.
The new proprietor will take. charge
some time next week, and The TRIB-
UNE can perhaps wish him no better
fortune than a continuance of the pat
ronage and prosperity accorded to the
late wner
Socially Mr.. Johnston and his estim-
able family have epdeared themselves
to a wide circle of warm friends in this
city, who fondly hope that McCook
may continue to be their abiding place.
This will be their home at least, this
summer, Mr.. Johnston. having rented
the Lindner dwelling.

1t is not often that the Hub offers
an apology OIL has anything to apologize
for. Just now, however, it is in a
deeply penitential mood, and makes
humble apology to a large number Of
righteously indignant citizens who have
thronged this Office for several days for
the purpose of making a display Of
their injured feelings. And this is the
how of it: About a month ago the
Hub %mirthfully notified the public that
the backbone of winter was broken.
This was not true; but the public,
which had long since learned to accept
this papers statements as true in all
respects, at once began to govern itself
accordingly. Spring dry goods and
millinery appeared in the show win
dows, winter overcoats were placed in
pawn, the street sprinkler was put in
repair, lawns were cleaned up, the by
drants gargled, grass seed put in soak,
and early vegetable seed put where it
would do the most good. Farmers be-
gan to SOY spring wheat, got their corn
ready for planting, uncovered the pota-
to bins, began to set hens, and did many
other things that they do with every re-
currence Of spring, gentle spring. Never
before, perhaps, were the actions of SO
many people governed or directed by a
simple newspaper announcement. This
was all creditable to the Hub, of course,
but upon what followed We must tear
fully but respectfully draw the veil.
There was some mistake about it. The
backbone of winter has, in short, re-
scented the insinuation. It is all there,
and has suffered neither fracture nor
abrasion. Hence this ~apology.-Kearney
Hub.

THE TRIBUNE wants to see every
farmer in Red Willow county, who has
a canon or draw on his farm, dam the

Impound every gallon of water that
comes. Let it sink into the ground.
Shortly your stock will tramp the bot.
tom of the pond SO that it will hold
water the season through. Try it.
