You Can Draw Your Own Conclusions
About our § 2.00 , $2.50 , § 3.00
Shoes , but there's really only one
conclusion that you can possibly
come to and that is that in shoe
leather a bettor investment you
never made. Just as sure as you
wear this shoe , just so sure will
that be your judgment of it. Some
shoes are cheap without being
good ; others are not good without
being cheap ; this shoe is cheap
and good enough for the most fas
tidious of feet. It will fit as snugly -
ly as a made to order shoe and
there are many made to order
shoes that havn't its durability.
In all respects it's a wise purchase
for the wise buyer.

Two Russian domestics have recent
ly been employed at housework in the
Altshuler home. And by a singular
coincidence the silverware , or at least
a portion of it , disappeared during the
term or tneir service or at the time ol

vaded their home in South McCook
first of the week , armed with a searcl
warrant , to clear up the mystery con
nected with the disappearance of tin
silverware. He was partially success
ful , and left a business-like impressioi
resting on the minds of the long fin
gered females , which constrained then
to soon place all the missing silverwari
in Mr. Altshuler's coal house , when
they were found by the members ot th <
household , not many hours after th <

neatest and best. A great many news
papers in the state would have a hare
time giving an excuse for their exist
ence , since a dozen lines or so of loca !
news , a few clipped editorial items and
a few horribly and fearfully constructed
advertisements , the whole having the
appearance of being printed with rusty
nails and clayey loam on an inferioi
jrade of wood paper in a cheese press ,
connot be said to return value received
for subscription price. Such papers
as THE TRIBUNE rest the eye that has

of newspaper chaff fora grain of wheat ,

and his TRIBUNE never grow less.

SIR KNIGHTS BANQUET.
On last Saturday night at the B. &
M. there was gathered a select com
pany of Knights Templar and their
ladies from McCook and adjacent towns.
The banquet furnished for the occasion
under the direct supervision of J. M.
Trammel and wife , who came up from
Oxford for the purpose , exceeded even
the high standard of their usual at
tempts and all the delicacies of the
season were most temptingly displayed.
After the repast Sir Knight H. W.
Cole welcomed the ladies and visiting
Sir Knights in a neat little speech ,
which was responded to by Mrs.S. Cor-
deal for the ladies , and Sir Knight
Bishop , of Indianola , for the visiting
Knights. Other toasts followed by
Sir Knights Green , Wilcox and Cor-
deal. Those present were :
MR. and Mils. J. A. Wilcox and

The finale of the High Five Club's
parties was held on Tuesday evening , of
this week in the Babcock building.
Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Troth entertained
the club , which is equivalent to saying
that the affair was thoroughly clever
and enjoyable in every respect. The
guests were : Mr. and Mrs. C. T-
Brewer , C. F. Babcock , V. Franklin ,
F. M. Kimraell , H. P. Sutton , J. B.

It is quite evident that firmer actioi
is necessary in this matter of lawi
sprinkling. The hill portion of the city
under the present condition of affairs
is not only robbed of half their supph

but most of the night , if not quite al
night , are left practically without fin
protection , as the tank is often kep
dry all night , by the disregarding of all
regulations as to hours etc. While thi
city fathers are in the business THI
TRIBUNE would suggest that they tak <
this crying evil into account. Half th <
consumers are robbing the otlisr half
It is a matter to be most sincerel ]
deplored that so much of error and mis
representation appears in the Omahr
Bee concerning this country. The arti
cles are uniformly unreliable and dama
ging in that they are unreasonably over
drawn and valuable facts are misstated
to our harm. It is an injustice to this
country , perhaps not intentional , bui
nevertheless rank , and that which i :
doubtless intended for our good , in the
eyes of sensible men , makes us ridiculous
and liars of the very ffrst magnitude , ll
is about time that the Bee correspondenl
confines himself somewhere within the
lines af truth. We have enough sensa
tional rot.

TAYLOR'S CIRCUSAHDMEHAGERIE.
The Only Big Show to Exhibit in This
Vicinity This Year.
Through an arrangement entered in
to between the proprietors of the lead
ing shows of the country the great F.
J. Taylor shows , which appear in Mc
Cook , July 9th , will be the only tented
exhibition of any importance that will
visit this section of the country this
year. Already the circus-loving portion
tion of this community is on the tip-toe
of expectancy over the coining of the
old reliable F. J. Taylor aggregation ;
and it can be set down as a certainty
that it will attract tremendous crowds.
The proprietor of this well known es
tablishment who is the acknowledged
leader of the circus business of
America , is said to have outdone al
previous efforts in this line , both in the
novelty of the entertainment and in the
wonderful features exhibited. The se
curing of the umbrella eared elephant ,
the only one in America , at an enor
mous outlay of cashis , evidence that the
manager of this great show is bound
to exhibit to its patrons something new
ind worthy the great name and reputa
tion it already has. The street parade
ivill he the grandest ever seen here.
After the parade a grand free show
ivill be given on the show grounds ,
.vhich . is said to be the best ever given.
We confidently predict enormous crowds

Minden at McGook.
About twenty republicans , good and
true went from Minden to the McCook
convention , which was held yesterday ,
and all came back feeling proud of
their town , proud of McPheely , proud
of the glee club and proud of the can
didate who was nominated. McPheely
was made chairman of the convention ,
and no convention ever had a better
presiding officer. The glee club com-
pletly captured the immense crowd
with the splendid music it sang , and if
the boys had staid they might have
been singing yet. The McCook people
royally took care of the crowd , and all
who were there are much pleased with
the trip and result of the convention.

Courier.
When Col. Barnes retires from the
newspaper business in McCook , the
people who used to cuss him and say
that he should be given hours to leave
town , will hold meetings and lament to
gether that this good man and lustrous
journalist is no longer running a paper
here. They will declare that Colonel
Barnes conducted the only paper in
this part of the west worth reading and
that Literature received its death blow
when he dropped his pen. They will
probably follow him to his hermitage
and beg of him to take hold oi his
Trdnchant Pen and edit a paper once
more , and when he yields to their en
treaties and goes into the newspaper
business again they will cuss him as of
yore , and say that he ought to be fried
in axle grease , and buried alive head
downward. Lt s the way human nature
runs. Col. Barnes is a complete com
pendium of all known virtues with a
copious glossary of lovable traits , and
THE TRIBUNE commends him to the
mercy of the public.
"A new postal card for use in foreign
mail will be introduced in the postofliccs
throughout the country on July l"said
Postmaster Troth the other evening.
"It is really a double postal card and
the principal object of its introduction
is to enable correspondents to prepare
answers by post. This could not be
done with letters and stamps , as those
of the latter issued by this government
cannot be used in sending mail from
other countries to this. The new card
will do away with that trouble. Attach
ed to the card on which the original
message is written-is a duplicate , folded
over. The one receiving the card tears
off the duplicate and returns it with the
answer. The new cards \vill be sold at
four cents each and can be sent to all
foreign countries in the postal union. "
