\ OUTING SHOES. It long ago seemed as though shoes could 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 ydu 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 been 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.

McCook don't want to miss the op portunity of securing that Methodist seminary. It would be a highly desira ble addition to our educational interests. Postmaster Troth's banner in the procession tonight will probably have emblazoned upon it in letters of living fire as it were , "Turn the rascals out. " NOBLE , Purveyor to tne Great Common People , is now exhibiting about the handsomest and largest as sortment of plain and fancy lamps to be seen in Southwestern Nebraska. The city will be in the hands of our friends the enemy tonight. If things are not painted to a satisfactory depth of redness it s their own fault and the democratic hand has lost its cunning.

The burning of some weeds along the railroad track on the west side , Monday noon , caused the fire alarm to be sent in , and a crowd quickly as sembled : but the fire was easily con trolled without the aid of the depart ment , being beyond reach of any fire plugs at all events.

A suitable reward will be paid for their recovery. 24-3ts. H. J. FANSEN. Box Elder , Neb. , Nov. 2 , 1892. The horseshoe superstition is very old. The ancients believed that iron , as a metal , had unknown powers , and would drive nails into the walls to keep off pestilence. It has always been thought uncommonly lucky to find a piece of metal , and as horseshoes were the form in which it was most frequent ly found , the superstitious regard came to be transferred from the. material to the shape. It is better not to bet at all. McMillen is headquarters for nl kinds of lamps. * Your Thanksgiving turkey , is it in the pen properly laiteninir ? Read .J.

Tickets on sale Nov. 19 to 27 inclusive. Miss Auth Hopkins of Virginia , 111. , sister of Mrs. Berry , is visiting in the city. She has been spending some time in Denver , and is now on her way back to Illinois. The cause of delay in knowing the official result in this county was the failure of three precinct officers to make their returns to the county clerk until the last minute allowed by law. The fight over the postoffices has be- sun ; all over the country and it promises to be more bitter than ever before. The democratic appetite for spoils was only whetted , not satiated , by its four years enjoyment. J. Albert Wells wants through this medium to express his thanks and gratitude to the members of the fire department for their heroic and effect ive work in controlling the fire in his store on Monday morning , October 31. Thaddie , the nine-year-old son of L. Bianding , died on Sunday , his birth day , of membraneous croup. The in terment took place on Tuesday , in Longview cemetery. The bereaved ones have much sympathy expressed n their behalf. McCook lodge No. 61 , A 0. U. W. , lave issued 300 invitations to their irst annual complimentary banquet to ) e given in Meeker hall , Monday even- ng next. It promises to be one of the iVorkmen's finest efforts at entertaining themselves and friends , and will be argely attended. A small but enthusiastic meeting of he pushers of the gymnasium scheme was held Monday night and a commit- ee appointed to get an estimate of the cost of the apparatus needed , and to report at the next meeting , Friday night at J. Albert Wells' store at nine o'clock. It is hoped that every one nterested in this will be out. Master Shed Huddleston had the misfortune to fall down into the area way in front of the First National tank building , a few days since , cut- ing a bad gash in his head , which the urgeon had to sew up. He is doing very nicely , however , and will soon be eady for another adventure , though his bump of caution has doubtless been somewhat enlarged by his recent mis hap. The grip is already making its ap pearance in the eastern states , coming early and evidently taking off its things for a long stay. It will cost more lives and suffering hundreds of times over than the cholera which touched our shores during the summer , and will be even more difficult to fight. Medical science seems to be helpless upon the approach of this perplexing and annoy ing disease. A girl wanted to do general house work. Inquire at J. Albert Wells store at once. 0. P. Smith , of monument fame , was in the city , first of the week , looking after his personal interests here. They have a daughter at Frank H Spearman's , which added to the elec tion of Cleveland , makes Spearman's cup of joy brim full and running over The reports of the officers of the Modern Woodmen of America , now in session in Omaha , show that organiza tion to be highly prosperous financially and rapidly growing in membership. Monday Judge Welty heard the divorce case of Joseph S. Holmes against his wife Janette Holmes , in our city at chambers. A decree was granted , Mr. Holmes being required to pay the costs of the suit and an attor ney's fee of $25 for his late wife. During the high wind of Saturday night the northern horizon was brightly lighted up by a fierce prairie fire , which , however , was quite distant , and no accounts of devastation or damage have reached us. The wind reached the proportions of a gale , and was decidedly uncomfortable to the more or less nervous citizen. C. W. Paine has disposed of his har ness shop to W. W. McMillen and is now packing his household effects pre paratory to joining his parents in Cali fornia , where they have decided to pass the remainder of their days. The business will be conducted at the old stand rear of the Famous. There have recently been some start ling disclosures , so we are informed , of the existence of a free coinage estab lishment in Bartley , at a not remote date. Numerous evidences of the operators' handiwork have come to light , in the quite correct form of dollars of our daddies , gold twenties , and other indications of misplaced genius and industry. The dance in the opera house , last Friday evening , was in the nature of a Farewell in honor of George Berry , whose departure for Illinois , this week , will be regretted by a large circle of friends. It was a very pleasant affair and was participated in by a large and en thusiastic company of young people of the city. Prof. Reizenstein's orchestra provided the music. Statesmanship of a high order will 3e required to guide the forthcoming administration clear of a financial crash. If the tariff is reduced then government expenditures must be cut down or there will be a yearly deficit. At present the government is expend- ng more than its revenues from all sources. If the tariff revenues are reduced and the pension list continues to increase , the graduated income tax > reposition will forceitself to the front. The trustees of the Wesleyan uni versity at Lincoln , having decided to ocate four seminaries in the state and laving published notice of a meeting of the trustees to be held at Holdrege on Nov. 22,1892 , a meeting of a few msiness men of McCook met at Dr. iVelles' office and decided to present at the meeting , the advantages of Mc- } ook for the location of one of the eminaries , and appointed a committee consisting of Rev. A. W. Coffinan , Dr. A. P. Welles and J. A. Wilcox to at- end the meeting at Holdrege and pre- ent the claims of McCook. It will interest many people to know that the sunflower , which grows more reely and naturally than any other plant in this part of the west , is pos sessed of some qualities of practical value. In Russia , where the sunflower s much cultivated , its seeds are made o yield a palatable oil for culinary mrposes and the residuum is used as odder for cattle. For the latter pur- tose it is in great demand in Great Jritain , Denmark , Germany and Swed- n. The plant is cultivated on a com mercial basis in Russia and has been f ty years. It is a common product of be whole and southeastern Russia and ts cultivation is becoming very com mon. One advantage of sunflower cul- ure is that it does not exhaust the oil. No doubt corn is more profitable n Nebraska , but perhaps a thrifty arnnr might get some thing out of be sunflowers that grow in rank lux- nriance upon his waste land.

Colvin , in the presence of a goodly company of relatives and in vited friends of the high contracting parties , Rev. D. L. McBride spoke the words which united in the bonds of wed lock Mr. Alexander Weaver and Miss Matie I. Russell , both of our city. The groom is a young man of exemplary character and a valued employe of the Burlington in the machinists corps. The bride is the estimable and amiable daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Russell , and has long efficiently filled the posi tion of clerk in her brother-in-law's office. Following the marriage ceremony was a wedding feast of most ample and at tractive proportions , which was not overlooked by the guests , but enjoyed by all in a way altogether gratifying to the authors. The happy couple left on the night train for Denver on a brief honeymoon , taking with them the warmest well- wishes and congratulations of many friends , among which TIIE TRIBUNE desires to be enumerated.

Colvin informs the TRIBUNE hat he has sold six quarter sections of and in the vicinity of McCook , during he past week , to various parties , for a otal sum of even ten thousand dollars and it wasn't a ver good week for elling land either. ' Church Fair St. Patrick's , Which opened in the opera house on Tuesday evening , closed last night in a whirl of excitement and gayety. The attendance throughout was good , being unusually large upon the closing night. The patronage received was generous , the receipts from all sources aggregat ing over a thousand dollars. The competition for various articles which were voted off was close and keen. The different contests resulted as fol lows : The diamond ring was won by Mis.- * Lizzie Carroll.

Supper will be served in the Menard opera house , this evening , toy the ladies of St. Patrick's congregation from G to 12. Admission free. All are welcome. The following poetic directions for tea making are painted on many of the teapots used iij the Celestial empire : "On a slow firer 'lMripod ; fill it with clear rainwater. S Pt as long as it would be needed to turn fish white and lobster red ; thiow this upon delicate leaves of choice tea ; let it remain as long as the vapor rises in a cloud. At your ease drink the pure liquor , which will chase away the five causes of trouble. " For table decorations this fall a bunch of yellow chrysanthemums in a tall , slender glass vase as a centre piece and one of these flowers laid at each plate is a popular idea. Supper will be served in the Menard opera house , this evening , by the ladies of St. Patrick's congregation from G to 12. Admission free. All are welcome. Velvet is much worn ! his winter for street customs , even children appear ing in rich cloaks of the soft material which not long ago was used exclusively for evening. Charles H.
