OUTING SHOES. It long ngo seemed as though shoes cuuld never be better and never be cheaper , but they are better now and cheaper now than they ever were before. The great every day favorite is our men's and ladies' shoe. It is as much a boon to the pocketboolc as it is to the feet. It won't wear you out to wear it out. You don't need to take care of it ; it takes care of itself. It will give you solid com fort for the simple reason that a better shoe for knockabout pur poses has never bewi produced. If prices never appealed to you before , the price of this shoe will , for it costs only $2.50. It will look nicer and wear longer than any shoe on earth. Tuesday's rain was a great boon to all.

Young men , ally yourselves to the party of progress , the party which be lieves in so making the laws that pub lic benefits will follow upon their en forcement ; believes in equal justice and a fair field of work and develop ment for fair-minded man , woman and child ; believes in education , that light from the mental world which illumines the path of progress , and makes it brighter and yet brighter as the years of the republic go by , and attracts to our shores or to a lively interest in our welfare , the enterprising spirits of all the nations of the globe ; believes in the doctrine of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man , and seeks to emphasize the latter in legislative enactments for the good of the race of mankind. Cast your political lot with the republican party , and you need have no cause for regret. McCook never needed the commis sioner worse than just now. J. H. Barnes Post will join in the procession of Columbus day. Knipple wants 10,000 bushels of potatoes at 50 cunts a bushel cash. Foil RENT : A desirable furnished room lor rent , 407 MoFarland street. E. M. Woods is worthy of a warm support at the polls by the people of Red Willow county. The windy , dusty weather , fore part of the week , made it a little difficult to stand up for Nebraska. The Christian Emleavorers held a pleasant social at the residence of Albert iMeMilJen , Wednesday evening. Lawler announces a closing out sale. We understand that he expects to leave the city and go elsewhere to engage in the distilling business. It is to be regretted ( hat Hon. John .M. Thurston was not greeted by a crowded house , Wednesday afternoon , as his masterful effort deserved. Preaching services in the Meeker hall next Sabbath morning and evening. In the evening Rev. W. C. Stevenson of the Congregational church will preac.li. Red Willow county needs at least one sound business man on its board of county commissioners. Such a man can be secured by electing C. J. Ryan. Besides settling the dust which had accumulated for the past six weeks of dry weather the splendid , soaking rain of Wednesday was very helpful to fall wheat. Mr. Franklin's building , rear of DetJrroff's , lately damaged by firevas , repaired the first of the week , and Mr. ffarris is getting his stock shaped around again. The fanners of Red Willow county should rally to the support of E. M. Woods , the Republican nominee for representative. He is a farmer and a citizen of unimpeachable integrity. A. H. Burdick , the new furniture nan , will occupy the Morlan building Nove-nber 1st. This will give him more room for the display of his goods , ind more desirable quarters withal. McCook merchants are losing good rade every day by reason of neglected and bad roads leading into the city. The election of Con. Ryan will be an important step in the direction of im provement in that direction. Put your $ $ $ where they will do the most good , where they will secure the best and the most groceries for in stance. You will make no mistake if Noble's is the place of deposit. Fie gives the limit in quantity , quality and value , and his stock cannot be duplicat ed in Western Nebraska. We suggest as a matter of much importance to farmers the propriety of exercising great care in turning cattle into stalk fields , as the fodder and husks have been rendered exceedingly hard by the late dry weather and we understand there is a large amount of smut on the stalks. Cattle should stay in stalk fields but a very short time at first till the stomach becomes accustomed to the change , and the animals should have water to drink always at hand. The impression is growing in the city that the notorious suits recently instigated by themadames of the Maple Grove and Canary Cottage against each other will never come to trial. The cases came up , Tuesday , before Squire Berry , but a change of venue was taken to Squire Kelley's court and October 27th , is now set as the day of tearing. As the cases promise to in volve the present municipal administra tion in a most unpleasant way , it will not surprise THE TRIBUNE to see them squashed , and it looks as though things vere being "fixed" to that end. Dr. S. L. Green must have some thing to engage his time and energy , and in order to keep himself out of mischief he has decided to embark in ctive business egain by purchasing he stock of the McCook Book and Stationery Co. The invoice has finally been completed , and the doctor is now duly installed and in possession of his purchase. The business will be con ducted at the old place. THE TRIBUNE regrets , however , that the change con templates the removal of George B. Berry from our city , where he has held high rank among our most ener getic and successful young business men. We understand that desirable positions are open to him with S. A. Maxwell & Co. and A. C. McClurg & Co. , and that his early -return to Chicago is probable. He lias the well wHiPS .f niMiiy warm IcCoo' < friomls in any event. MATCHLESS ELOQUENCE. Such Was Hon. John M. Thurs ton's Effort at the Opera House , Wednesday Afternoon. Immeasurably the most eloquent and masterful and logical presentation of Republicanism ever heard in our city was that given by Hon. John M. Thurston of Omaha in the opera house , Wednesday afternoon to a small , but appreciative and enthusiastic audience. Mr. Thurston certainly deserves the title of "Nebraska's Peerless Orator. " Besides he is a profound thinker and a logical reasoner ; and his exposition of Republican theory and practice as touching those two paramount ques tions finance and protection chal lenged the boundless admiration of his hearers , for its clearness , completeness and unanswerableness. Mr. Thurston is intensely American and has a way of infusing a spirit of patriotic sentiment unto his hearers which is simply marvelous. His stal wart and independent sort of republican ism touched many a responsive chord ; and every Republican who hears him grow eloquent over the immortal his tory of the party , its splendid achieve ments in the past , and promises and pledges of fidelity to the best , truest and highest interests of this nation in the future , goes away feeling that it was good for him to have been there , and feeling proud to be a member of such a grand party. Echoes From the City Hall. The city fathers were in session , Wednesday evening , and transacted the following business , the mayor , zlerk , attorney , and councilmcn Me- lard , Me Adams and Spickelmier being iiresent.

Moved and sustained that the Chief of Police be instructed to remove all signs , posts and other obstructions from the side-walk and street on Main avenue from Railroad street to Douglas street. The street commissioner was in structed to put in good and substantial hitching racks on vacant lots west of Main avenue , between Dennison and Dodge streets. J. H. Bennett was on motion re quested to make a report on dog licenses collected and number of dogs killed for 1892 , under his stay in office. Adjourned. Bissell's carpet sweepers , the best made ; buy and try one ; at Pade & Son's. The initial appearance of the Boston Comic Opera company in Andran's great masterpiece , "The Mascot , " at the Paddock opera house last night was highly creditable to the company anc stamps it as an organization of very su perior merit. This house was comfort ably filled though the audience was by no means as large as the merits of the company deserved , and especially in view of the tact that it may now be called a Beatrice institution in that it is managed by Messrs.Osborn & Gravesj the popular theatrical managers of this city. Seldom has a Beatrice audience listened to a better array of first-class vocalists than is presented by the Bos ton Comic Opera company. The Misses Rinehart sisters have not only superb voices but they too are actresses that take high rank among the very best of their-profession. Mr. F. A. Wade , as a comedian and vocalist , is worthy of special creditable mention. Mr. Louis Carlberg , as Roco , the farmer , was good and in connection with Mr. Wade they make a lively comedy team. Mr. E. L. Weston , the tenor , has a remark ably fine voice and performed the part of Pipe admirably. Miss Etta Merris , as Fiametta , shows dramatical talent and looked handsome and winning as the pettish daughter of Prince Lorenzo. All are superior singers and with Miss Dora Corcoran , Myrtle Yane , Harry Davis and J. H. Ammons , each of superior excellence as vocalists and actors , the Boston Comic Opera Com pany is indeed fortunate in its entire aggregation of talent , and comprises one of the strongest lyric , operatic and dramatic organizations now before the public. The performance was replete with local hits and never has the Merry Mascot been more heartily or enjoyably - ably produced than it was at the Pad dock last night. Beatrice Express. At the opera house , Friday and Saturday evenings , October 21 and 22. Will Ike Sheridan explain why he charged and collected § 185.50 from Red Willow county for 12 road scrapers , when W. C. LaTourette only charged the county $79.20 for the same number and article ? Also why he refunded $88.80 to the county treas urer , after the LaTourette bill was allowed. C 9 V ! 1 ! > a - . s . -1 Used in Millions of Homes WHY HE SUPPORTS ANDREWS. A Prominent Democrat Gives Rea son for Opposing : McKeighan. McCooK , NEB. , Oct. 11 , 1892. To the Editor : While on my way to the national encampment of old soldiers at Washington city , I met a member of The Journal staff and in conversation with him , stated that I could not sup port Mr. McKeighan and intended to vote for Mr. Andrews for congress ; that a large portion of the democrats in the west end of the district woud do like wise. This conversation found its way into print in your paper , as I am in formed. On my return from tiie encampment my attention was called to a vicious at tack upon me by J. D. Calhoun in an editorial in the Lincoln Herald , which I find has been numerously copied into all of the independent journals of the Fifth congressional district. Among other choice epithets , we find the fol lowing : "The democrat who could vote for Andrews , knowing what he is , cannot be compared to the mangiest cur without serious and unjust derogation to the character and standing of the unlucky and unhappy dog , " Having just returned from a glorious encampment with the boys that with me wore the blue , i would inquire what right this ex-confederate soldier who , by the grace of Grant's parole , is per mitted to enjoy citizenship in this coun try , has to publicly criticise the action of a private citizen in his political pre ferences. This self-constituted political censor has been known to the democracy of this state for years. At one time on the staff of'1 he Journal gathering re publican news for it and only seen among democrats at state conventions , he has been ever a disturbing element in the democratic party , advocating the indorsement of the anti-monopoly party , and afterwards the independent party , and later the people's party , and ad interim , the temperance cranks and woman's suffragists. No later than last fall he endorsed Edgerton for su preme judge , and has advocated fusion with the people's party and the endorsement - ment of that party ever since. It is evident that Mr. Calhoun is an inde pendent and not a democrat , and if he wishes to write articles to be copied in to the independent papers of this dis trict for the benefit of McKeighan , he ought to do so from the people's party standpoint , where he belongs. He ought to join his late comrade of the confederate army , General Field , so that the public may know where he be-1 longs , and not call himself a democrat. I cannot support McKeighan because he does not belong to my party. He has stated on the floor of the house at Washington , and at the independent congressional convention at Holdrege , and in a joint discussion with Mr. An drews , that he was an independent and belonged to that party ; that he was not a democrat , and that if the selec tion of the president should be thrown into the house he would vote for General Weaver. I know him to be dishonest in busi ness and untruthful in matters of pub lic affairs. He has no claims upon me from a political standpoint , or other wise. I have been acquainted with Mr. Andrews for years. I have made inquiry as to his private character and standing , and know him to be a man of irreproachable character and integrity. I have but little concern as to what Mr. Calhoun's opinion of me may be , and I shall hardly follow his dictation in political affairs , or feel disturbed when he questions my democracy. J. S. Attention Comrades. Comrades of J. K. Barnes post are requested to meet at the high school milding at 9:30 : o'clock , Friday morn- ng , October 21st , for the purpose of oining in the procession , which will be a part of the Columbus day celebration on that day under auspices of the pub ic schools of our city.
