Much Ado About Nothing.

Recently a small pig owned by old
maj Jackson wandered away from its
accustomed haunts. Not long afterwards
some members of the Jackson household
fancied that John Walker, a Russian, had
that particular pig in his sty. The pig
was forthwith taken to the Jackson pen.
Subsequently Mr.. Walker returned the
little porker to his enclosure, and to
make assurance doubly sure, placed the
pig in the cellar of his dwelling. From
this snug retreat the animal was again
taken by the Jacksons in force, led by
female portion of the tribe. Then Mr..
Walker invoked the strong arm of the
law. Mr.. Jackson vas arrested for re-
ceiving and concealing stolen property
and the case came up before Squire
Kelley, on Tuesday, for adjudication.
About twenty witnesses were examined,
the case occupying the courts attention
until late Tuesday night. The squire
rendered a decision in favor of the conf
monwealth; and the case was appealed
to the district court for final hearing.

The People Approve.

Pursuant to the call of Mayor Brewer
quite a number of business men and cit
zens assembled in the city hall, Tuesday
evening, to discuss the water question.
The new ordinance was read, section by
section, and discussion and opinion in
vited and had on each. But three sec
tons of the ordinance, those on rules
and regulations, fines and forfeitures,
and requiring licensed plumbers, seemed
to be Objectionable. These sections
were fully discussed and differences of
views were developed of course. Judge
Rittenhouse appeared in behalf of the
ordinance and councilmen, and fully ex-
planned the necessity of these sections to
the company in the management of their
water works, and pointing out the fact
that they need not be a hardship on any
1aw-abiding citizen, but were absolutely
essential for the control of lawless CON
sumers. This view in the main was fin
ally concurred in by those present, that
the company should be allowed to make
such rules and regulations for the con
duct of their business as are not incon-
sistent with the ordinance. And on
motion it was the unanimous sense of
the meeting that the proposed ordinance
be approved by the mayor, which action
his honor will doubtless take, or will al
low the ordinance to become a law of
the city without his signature. 1t is
hardly probable that the mayor will veto
the ordinance in view of the expression
of the people, Tuesday evening. The
ordinance will be operative after the
next regular meeting of the council, if
not vetoed, when duly published as re-
quired by law.

said Supt. Valentine, who has been do
ing some county institute work up in
Benkelmen. "to find so much style and
culture in that extreme frontier county
of Nebraska. Why the sand hills of
Dundy seem to swarm with bright and
pretty and well-dressed schoolmarms.
1 also had the pleasure of looking in
upon the Red Willow county institute
briefly, past week. AS 1 contemplated
those bright, eager faces and nattily
gowned bodies, and my mind reverted
a few years when the scene l gazed upon
was M SO engaging, 1 was deeply and
happily impressed with the remarkable
improvement and advancement made by
the teachers of Red Willow county in a
few years; improvement in mind, person,
and attire. By the way, the institute
just closed is perhaps the most success
full ever held in the county, a fact cred
liable to the thorough and enthusiastic
work Of County Supt. Bayston and Prof.
Burke, two captains of education. The
attendance was quite large throughout
the two weeks session."

THE TRIBUNE believes that it is the
desire of the people of McCook that this
water works question now rest, and that
the company proceed with the important
and desirable Improvements they havei in
hand, without further interruption or an
noyance. McCook needs better fire pro-
lection and domestic service, and not so
much squabble and turmoil and conten-
ton. These improvements are now pro-
missed. Some are under way. Let them
proceed. Better service is now the par
amount consideration. 1t isguaranteed.

in August will materially change crop
conditions in most places in the United

the reverse of what they were during the
the months of June and July. Where
cool weather has prevailed extreme heat
may be expected, where rains have been
heavy, dry weather, and destructive
storms will occur where there has been
quiet weather during the past season.
