I IvvIeI Powder I' ABSOLUTELY PURE H By F. M. KIMMELL. H $1.60 A YEAR IN ADVANCE. H Republican ] jBBljNewspap H The wonmu's suffrage bill lias H received its quietus in the lower H house of the legislature for this H session. H The Nebraska Independent H Vv Press association will meet in * .v Grand Island , February 15theom- 1 mencing at 7 p. in. M The anti-scalping law has lost | its top-knot in the senate , and there M is little prospect of the measure M passing the present congress. M The Lexow committee is after m the Sugar Trust in New York city B with a sharp stick , while all the m world looks on with smiles of ap- M proval. M The newspapers are still mak- H ing cabinets and unmaking them M for Major McKinley with amusing B facility. But the Major will have H the last say. M Office-seeking is becoming the M bane of Major McKinley's life. H Those after place are calling on H him at the daily rate of a hundred. H Sick the dogs on 'em , Major. H The flag bill has been iudefi- nitely postponed by the legisla ! ture , or in other words practically H killed outright. The measure H provided for displaying the flag H' on school houses. H \ , The effort to consolidate the H Des Moines and Topeka pension H agencies at St. Louis is being vig- H orously opposed. From these two H ! agencies 179,000 pensioners are H now paid , by about 100 employes. H • The steel trust is busted and H steel rails are now being sold in H Pittsburg and Chicago at from $15 H to $18 per ton. Large orders are H being placed by the different rail- m roads of the country. If something H , has to bust , there isn't anything we K would rather see go through the Hj process than a trust. H The indications are multiplying Hl that the successor to Judge Dundy H will be a Republican. Senator H Thurston is quoted as favoring a B a Hepublican and the senator's in- B' fluence cannot be under-estimated B in such matters. Eichard D. Hall B is mentioned as the one who will B likely in due season occupy the B vacant Federal bench. B The York Republican takes to B task a certain preacher for an as- B saulfc made by the aforesaid domi- B nie on secret societies. The Ee- B publican is correct for the most' H | part , and yet the preacher's con- B trovery is not utterly without mer- B > it. The useless and meaningless B multiplication of secret societies B has in many communities serious- B ly hampered church work and life , B insomuch as to in a measure usurp B its functions. Like other "good B things" secret societies hai e been B over-worked and the churches have fl suffered. It seemB to be difficult B for Americans to be moderate. The wrong is in the abuse of the 1 privilege. ' H 1 ] One Minute Cough Cure , cures. H > That is what it was nadc for. - , . 1 * * - i I " ' V ' -1"1 ' ' ' * * • J BARTLEY.

He will clerk on the doctor's farm north west of town , this summer. Tillable land is in active demand among renters , and indications point to a large acreage being planted the coming seasou. E. T.

Members of the Grand Army and Eelief Corps spent a pleasant social evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Stephens , Monday. A. E. Morris , better known as "Bert" , expects to leave , next week , to join his parents at Farmland , Indiana. He will probably attend college near there. Considerable talk of making trouble for some of the local poker- playing fraternity has been in dulged in. More action and less lung exercise is needed. Prof. Wm. Valentine of the Mc Cook schools lectured to a good audience , Saturday evening of last weekat the Plain view school house nine miles southeast of here. E. Joslin began moving J. M. Brown's house to the farm , Mon day. He is assisted by one of Jos. McBrayer's men of McCook and. has the use of the McBrayer house- moving outfit. E. S. Baker called at the school house , the other day , and took home a couple of the radiators which he fitted on the stoves early in the winter. To mention "racii- ' ators" to Baker now is to get the "marble heart" forever after. i A Mrs. Harding of Hebron lec tured to the public on the benefits of secret societies and especially : those of the A. O. U. W. and D. of H. lodges in the hall , Tuesday evening. A fair attendance was ' observed. E. L.

Mrs. Archie Speer has been a sufferer from rheumatism of late. E. S. Dutcher has been helping Gene Strine with his deep well on the ridge. Alexander McDonald and fam ily spent a part of last week with relativesin Hitchcock county. Quite a few have been attending court from this vicinity. No cases of any note from this localityhow- ever. Mr. Sogers of the Everist place had a valuble overcoat stolen by parties driving past. We trust the parties will return the same at once , as surely no one could enjoy wearing articles gathered in that way. A torpid liver means a bad complexion , bad breath , indigestion and frequent headaches. To avoid such companions take DeWitt's Lit tle Early Risers , the famous little pills. A.

Readers of The Tribune will please remember : that cash is an essential in the publication of a paper. The pub lisher has been very lenient during the past few years , on account of crop fail ures i and hard times , and as a consequence quence , many hundreds of dollars are due < on subscriptions. We are now com pelled to request all who can to call and i make settlement in full or in part. In view of the facts , our subscribers must feel the justice and urgency of this re quest. The Publisher. A few months ago , Mr. Byron Every i Woodstack , Mich. , was badly afflicted with rheumatism. His right leg was swollen the full length , causing him great suffering. He was advised to trv Chamberlain's Pain Balm. The first bottle of it helped him considerably and the second bottle effected a cure. The 25 and 50 cent sizes are for sale by L. W. Mc Connell & Co. , Druggists. Minutes seem like hours when a life is at stake. Croup gives no time to send for a doc tor , delay may mean death.

Eplo ? and Delew , frv Chicago i" lawyers who knew the justice's peculiarity - ' c arity , represented the defendant and a | man of the name of Smith the prosecu11 tion. Both sides announced they were g ready for trial. Just as the court was : J about to proceed Mr. Epler arose and jj said , "If your honor please , I move that [ this bo dismissed. " "I case second tho. jj motion , "quickly put in Mr. Delew. "It g is moved and seconded that the case bo j dismissed , " was put by the court. "But g your honor , " quickly interrupted Mr. | (2 ( Smith , with great surprise at such pro- ] - cednre. "Mr. Smith , this court has pre- jf sided over meetings before and is thor-1 S oughly familiar with parliamentary pro- ' - cedure. It needs no assistance from you' ' in this matter. " "But , your honor" j "I shall fine yon for contempt , Mr. I Smith , if you continue to disturb this L court. " ' The court then put the question > again , adding , "All in favor of the motion - J tion will rise. " Epler and Delew and I the prisoner arose. "Thoso opposed will | rise.

Z Among the Anglo-Saxons the bridegroom - 2 groom gave a pledge or "wed" . at the ? I < betrothal ceremony. This "wed" inj j f eluded a ring , which was placed on the L maiden's right hand , where it remained 7 J until , at the marriage , it was transferred - j red to the left. English women at one _ time wore the wedding ring on the - thumb. Many portraits of ladies in Queen Elizabeth's days are so depicted. 4 In the reign of George III brides usually 4 J removed the ring from its proper nbidi ing place to the thumb as soon as the 4 l ceremony was over. In Spain the gift of w a ring is looked upon as a premise of ! marriage and is considered sufficient V proof for a maiden to claim her husw band. It is a custom to pass little pieces W of bride's cake through the wedding w ring , and those to whom these pieces w are given place them under their pillows w at night to dream of their lovers. These j w "dreamers , " as they are called , should 0 > bo drawn nine times through the ring. > Many brides , however , are so superstitious - 4 > tious that neither for that purpose nor & at any other time will they take the c ring off their finger after it has once _ been placed there.
