THOSE "EXTOKHOlffATE" CHAS6ES.
Editor Cheyney, in the current
issue of his paper, devotes consid
erable space to a futile attempt to
prove that The Tribune filed an
extortionate bill for publishing the
constitutional amendments. Pass
ing over his personal allusions to
this writer with the quotation that
"abuse is the argument and weapon
of a coward and a knave'the reitera
tion is made that The Tribune set
the amendments in the same sized
type and in" the exact style as that
used in'the original copy furnished
by the secretary of state. And
furthermore, that in sending claim
blanks on which to file the bill for
publishing the secretary used the
following language: ''I am ot the
opinion that the charge should be
based upon fifty-five squares, which
at legal rates of publication would
be S3S5.0Q forweekly newspapers."
The measurement of the squares
published in The Tribune were
exactly the same as the secretary
directed, by inference, that they
should be. Hence The Tribune
carried out the directions of the
secretaryas to size of type, style of
composition, number of publications
and number of squares in the strict
est possible Isense just as any
honest newspaper would do. The
charges were not extortionate and
the state will eventually pay the
bill in full.
It is very easy for any one to dis
cern that the motive which prompts
Mr. Cheyncy to charge that The
Tribune's bill was excessive is for
the purpose of attempting to justify
the action of the populist county
commissioners in awarding him the
county publishing at full legal rates
when The Tribune solicited the
contract at one-third legal rates.
The truth of the matter is there are
many honest populists in the coun
ty who believe that the populist
county commissioners violated busi
ness principles and refused to act
for the best interests of the tax
payers when they ignored The
Tribune's bid for doing the county
publishing. Mr. Cheyney is evi-
aentiy aware or tms Teeiing among
the honest men of his party and is
doing everything possible to have
them beiievthat the commission
ers, in awarding him the contract
at full legal rates, did not commit
a malfeasance. The Tribune's
bid to do the county publishing at
one-third the legal rates was a
business proposition. The publish
ing during- the year averages from
S120Q to 1?00' and with this
amount of money involved, The
Tribune could perform the work
required at one-third the legal rate,
and still make good wages the
work even then would pay better
than the average advertising. In
other words The Tribune would
have been fairly well paid for the
work and the tax-payers would
have been saved from S800 to 1000
per year.
Mr. Cheyney also makes an un
successful attempt to refute The
Tribune's charge that the floating
indebtedness of the county has
been increased under populist ad
ministration. He produces actually
nothing bearing directly on the
subject, and his remarks which
are principally ab.use are not
worthy pf nptice. "Wh,en the proper
time cojnes The Tribune will sus
tain the charge preferred.

William Colerick, of Nehama.has
had a very strange experience in the
last few weeks. Seven or eight
weeks ago Mr. Colerick suddenly
and unaccountably lost his hearing.
He was feeling perfectly well at the
time, had had no trouble with his
head, and had no previous warning.
In just two weeks his hearing came
back almost as suddenly as it left
him. In a day: or two, while Mr.
Colerick was milking, he suddenly
became almost totally blind, and for
some time could not see his hand
before him. In the last few days,
h owever,-his ejsi gh t,hasre turned,
and is now almost as-good as it
was belore.. Another strange cir
cumstance is th3t Mr. Colerick is
cutting several new teeth in his
lower jaw. Although the teeth are
not through yet, their- shape can
plainly be felt. It is a very queer

If he can dispose of stock it is

be able to pay a deficiency of $23,000
which he owes the state. His case
comes up for trial March 24, and
while his friends do not know
whether he can raise the entire
amount by that time they think he
can do so in time to prevent a trial.
A continuance will probably be
asked for on March 24. The Colo
rado property is believed to be worth
more than the amount of the defi
ciency. Lincoln Journal.

M. B. Smith of Sidney has just

decidedly of the opinion that there
are fewer cattle on the western

son of the year, Not only is this
true of the range east of the moun
tains.but it applies more forcibly on
the coast. Range men have cleaned
out their 5-year-olds and coming
threes, which they expected to run
next fall and winter as beef cattle,
owing to the high prices prevailing
for stock cattle, hence Mr. Smith
does not see where any great num
ber of cattle can be secured for feed

year of the full operation of this dis
astrous measure the imports rose
to 40,000,000 pounds. This is bad
enough as it stands, but it means
more than it at first seems; a very

Lines written in memory of Wal
ter Layton, who died October 10th,
18:
Down the aisle they now are passing.
Passinp on with solemn tread.
While the mourning cortege follows
Softly weeping for the dead.
Tenderly they bear their burden w
Laden with its blossoms rare.
Which dear friends In kind remembrance
Broucht in love and scattered there:
Brought because they knew and loved him
He who lies in dreamless rest.
Sleeping 'neath their fragrant offerings
With their tokens on his breast.
Draw aside their bloom a moment
Look upon our loved one's face.
Tell me then "were death so cruel
Which hath brought that smile of peace
Look upon him now and tell me.
Would you caU him back again.
Who through long months saw him toss
ing. On a bed of ceaseless pain:
Would ye break that peaceful slumber.
And to earth unclose his eyes.
Which have opened to the splendors
Of the land beyond the-skies?
Ask that mother true and faithful.
Bending there above her dead.
She who weary months unceasing
Watched beside her loved one's bed.
Her sad. face wiU tell the story
Which her lips may not reveal,
Of that deep absorbing sorrow
Mother's hearts alone can feel: .
She for whom 'twas doubly hard,
That he should be called away.
Ask her if she would recall him.
She I know would answer nay:
Not into this world of sorrow.
Not unto that bed of pain,
. Though my heart may break without him
Would I caU him back again.
Ask again the same sad question
Of the fair young weeping w if e.
"Who thus early was awakened
Prom youth's golden dream of life,
With her little ones around her
In their sad and lonely home.
Left to light life's cruel battle
In this cold, hard world alone;
And the tender loving sisters.
And the brothers kind and true.
Not the least of this great sorrow
Was the share that came to you.
Twas your chUdhood's dear companion.
And your friend in later years,
But 'tis God that has bereft you.
He will wipe away your tears.
And the question, would you wake him?
WIU be answered still I know.
By the ones who loved him best
In the lines which read below.
No, we would not wake thee. Walter.
Though our poor hearts throb with pain
That we may not meet thee, see,
Sometime on this earth again.
Though our future hours of gladness
Thou no more with us may share.
Though earth's brightest spots be shad
owed, By the thought he is not there.
Happier than we could make thee.
Art thou now in heaven above;
Thou hast found a friend and father
With the God thou feared and loved:
May thy death so pure and holy
Be a lesson to us all.
That -we be as weU prepared
When we answer to the calL
May the same God -who has guarded
All thy life with loving care.
Still watch o'er and guard thy loved ones
That they too may enter there.
Keep the gates ajar, dear Walter,
In that bright land where you dwell,
One by one we'll come to meet you-
But tiU then, tiU then, farewell.
