OUTING SHOES.
It long ago seemed ns 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 yQU out
to wear it out. You don't need to
take care of it ; it takes care of
itaelf. 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.

The progressive merchant of today
owes his success to advertising ; without
it one might as well take down his sign
and invite the sheriff to walk in and
close up his business. The wisest
business men and the most successful
ones are those who keep their names
prominently before the public when
trade is good as well as when it is dull.
Constant and continuous advertising ,
got up in attractive style , is like the
constant dripping of water upon the
flinty rock ; slowly but surely an im
pression is made.

The Educational Rally
Tn the Methodist church , Wednesday
evening , addressed by Chancellor
Creighton of the Wesleyan university
at Lincoln , was fairly well attended
considering the other attractions of the
evening , and the interest'manifchted
was quite encouraging. The Doctor
delivered a ringing address on the sub
ject of education ami morals , joining
them in.holy bonds , and proving them
to be very and potent hand-maids of
religion.
All this in a general way and loading
up to the special matter of thu even
ing , namely , the WesJcynu seminary
proposition and enterprise. The
Chancellor gave as full an exposition
of what the proposed seminary will be ,
will do , and what is required to secure
it , as his limited time would allow. At
the conclusion of the meeting a com
mittee of five was selected to push this
matter and to formulate a proposition
or bid. The gentlemen composing the
committee are Dr. S. L. Green , Fudge
J. E. Cochran , J. A. Wilcox , Dr. A. P.
Welles and F. M. Kimuiell , who to
gether with V. Franklin ami a few
other interested citizens had a brief
consultation with the Chancellor.
This committee is now at work to
ascertain just what can be done and
THE TRIBUNE hopes in a brief while to
be able to announce a satisfactory
completion of their labors , and the
maturing of a plan which will bring
the seminary into our midst without
fail.

Self Destruction.
Tuesday morning of this week John
Fisher , a Russian farmer living on
School creek in Missouri Ridge pre
cinct , this county , committed suicide
by hanging. It is stated that he went
out in the morning to do the chores ,
and failing to return in due season , his
wife commenced a search for him ,
which resulted in finding the still warm
body of her husband hanging by a rope
in the granary. The cause of the sui
cide seems to be unknown , although
financial distress is given by some.
The deceased leaves a wife and five
young children , he being only 30 years
of age at his death.
Rev. Deletzke , the German Luther
an minister of our city , was called
upon to conduct the funeral , which oc
curred on Wednesday afternoon.
Jake Would be Register.
Hon. Jacob Wiggins was in town ,
Saturday , circulating a petition asking
tor his appointment as Register of the

be many months before a change is
made , but when it does come the Re
publican would be pleased to see a
Hayes county man capture the prize.
