Postmaster Thomson Reappointed.
Dispatches from Washington stato
that the name of R. D. Thomson has
been sent to the senato for confirmation
as postmaster at North Platte, This
result was anticipated for two reasons;
first because his administration of the
office has been highly satisfactory, to
the patrons, and in such, instances the
postoflice department is inclined to
lavor tnn retention oi tne nrumDent
no master how long his servlco may
have been. The other reason is that
In Congressman Klnkaid's view tho re
appointment of Mr. Thomson would
lead to less political friction than the
appointment of either Mr. Davis or Mr.
Bare. In this view Mr. Kinkald did
not place full value on tho republican
ism oi citner uavis or uare, neuner oi
whom would havo shown "soreness"
had ono or the other been appointed,
and neither will they feel so over tho
re-appointment of Mr. Thomson.

for its emoluments; it was more to
escape the daily grind of newspaper
work for a year or two, the intention
being, in case of appointment, to placo
The Tribune in thenands of a competent

Have to be out in the slush and wet, and as they
not as hardy as men, their shoe needs at this time of
the year should be very carefully looked after, for wet
feet often mean a doctor bill, and there is a great deal
more satisfaction in a shoe bill, for you get more goocl
and more comfort out of what it calls for.
