I I I I i i i' 9 I ; s 1 I I By F. M. KIMMELL. I ) ' 1 SI.60 A YEAR IN ADVANCE. I 1 , The president has called a spec ial session of congress to convene on next Monday , March loth , at noon. There is a promising possibility that the coming city election may be quite as lively as the most ex acting may desire. Of making holidays there seems M 1 to be no end. It is now proposed M to make February 12th , Lincoln's birthday , a legal holiday. 1 America of right ought to be H more free of trusts , and to this H righteous end the great common H 1 people of the republic ought to H § earnestly and unflinchingly labor. Hj I In addition to civil and religious 1 i freedom , we want and must have M I I commercial liberty. B I I 'If Judge N orris will agree to B 1 1 keep up the gait struck in the dis- B X 1 trict court of Hitchcock county , m I last week , The Tribune would be B I I delighted to see him sentence a H : 9 I few ex-state officers for embezzle- H | 8 meat. They would go up for life H | I 1 and a day , most of them. | H | 8 Though succeeding to a looted 1 s treasury State Treasurer Meserve 1 m I as Pa oun * "s * wo mon ns oc" 1 cupaucy of the office over seven B | I hundred thousand dollars ; and Ri 1 notwithstanding warrants are be- m W I * n& daily registered , the floating Hjf " 11 l\ \ debt of the state is being reduced. HI 1 ! S | | The condition that prevailed | 11 along the Missouri river in 1881 Hi 9 | | | 1 will probably be experienced agnin 1 j , the coming spring. It will be re- 111 membered that there was an un- 111 " receti nted snow fall all over the 111i northwesi in 1880-81 , and when irl' ll ! ' m * ke ° 0 l egan sweeping down the Balii valley it carried everything before 1111 • * * • Villages were carried away , H1 r and. many farmers lost nearly all H | I of their possessions. The settlers H11 along the bottoms have been warn- l Kt I H11 ed in time , this year , but the loss H la is likely to be ranch heavier than B 111 * * Avas sixteen y ars ago , as there Hll is much more property to be dam- 1 In aged within react ? , of the coming lffi flood. Lincoln Journal. iff The government should not be 1m permitted to run behind or increase ffi its debt in times like the present. M | \ Suitably to provide against this is H Bil the mandate of duty , the certain H H and easy remedy for most of our H H financial difficulties. A deficiency | H w is inevitable so long as the expend- | Hk itnres of-the government exceed H its receipts. 'It can only be met l B y l ° ans or an increased revenue. I HB While large annual surplus of re- HH venue may invite waste and extrav- HB agance , inadequate revenue creates X distrust and undermines public Hl , and private credit. Neither should b be encouraged. Between more 9 loans and more revenue , there Hl ought to be but one opinion. We S should have more revenue , and flj that without delay , hindrance or Hb postponement. The best way for B the goverment to maintain its cred- K it is to pay as it goes not by re- Hl sorting to loans , but by keeping HB out of debt through an adequate B income , secured by n system of B taxationexternal , internal , or both. 1 It is the settled policy of the gov- S ernment , pursued from the begin- HB ning and practiced by all parties B and administrations , to raise the BS bulk of our revenue from taxes up- Bb HbWB on foreign productions entering Km the United States for sale and con- H sumption , and avoiding for the 8 most part , every form of direct B taxation , except in time of war. | William McKinley. V SI t : rri No public official in Nebraska can hope to embezzle enough state funds to dismay a certain class of newspapermen from doing the "fence act" for them. The York Times says that ex- State Treasurer Bartley "has won the gratitude of the business men of Nebraska" . But the price was too high , Tim ; too altitudinous al together. A few more such win- niugs will bankrupt the state. In misrepresentation and pre varication of State Treasurer Me serve it is clearly the distinct pur pose of the York Times to distance all competitors. But few men on this terrestrial globe can equal Tim Sedgwick in unlicensed imagina tion when a Pop is on the griddle , anyhow. TnE federal court has issued a decree divorcing the Western Union and Union Pacific telegraph systems and the Union will have to cut all its wires out of the Un ion Pacific stations , take out its in struments or sell them to the road. There are some advantages to the public in this action. PLEASANT RIDGE. Bessie Endsley has a bad cold. Mrs. Philip Strine has moved to McCook. Thomas Harris is working for Wm. Byfield. Mrs. J. W.

Hatcher's by the young people far and near. They made merry and rejoiced confidently expecting that the time was now at hand for that long delayed tide of prosperity to begin. The question debated at the lyceum - ceum , Friday evening , was the al phabet against the wheel ; decision in favor of the alphabet. Question for this evening , Besolved that the iog is of more use to man than the jun. This is the young peoples' 3vening. BILIOUS COLIC.

Woodman camp at Leba • n gave an oyster supper , last Mon day night , to their visiting neigh bors from Norcatur , Wilsonville and Danbury. Two candidates were given the mysteries of Wood craft by the Danbury team , and every one enjoyed themselves nicely. Don't allow the lungs to be impaired by the continuous irritation of a cough. It is easier to prevent consumption than to cure it. One Minute Cough Cure taken early will ward off any fatal lung trouble. A. McMilleri. NORTH COLEMAN. Henry Carothers shelled his corn , recently. Bert Wales purchased a good young work horse of H.T.Church , recently. James Ryan's children have been quite sick , latety , but are bet ter at present.

Some one tied his horse where the animal would not stand , and the timely work of two neighbors alone averted a Bmash-up. It is surprising what a "wee bit of a thing" can accomplish.

Quite a number from this place have been attending the revival meetings at McCook , and are re joiced to see the good work that is being done there. They are so small that the most sensitive persons take them , they are so effective that the most obstinate cases of constipation , head ache and torpid liver yield to them. That is why DeWitt's Little Early Risers are known as the famous little pills. A. McMillen. COLEMAN. Ellis Divine has bought a new team. A. Prentice took a load of cane seed to town , Tuesday. M. H.

Mother and child do ing well , and Bob is out of danger if he doesn't take a back-set. It's a girl. Preaching at the school house at 11 o'clock fast time. Last Sun day the congregation was disap pointed again. They waited until after 12 and as they were leaving the preacher drove in sight , but they went home. We suggest that in the future the preach-1 * come regular on time , or else just drop the appointment , and then the people ple will know what to depend on. The congregation is getting smaller because of the uncertainty of the preacher being present. We would rather have no appointment than to have no preacher. Many cases ol ' "Grippe" have lately been cured by One Minute Cough Cure. This prep- nration seems especially adapted to the cure of this disease. It acts quickly tiius prevent ing serious complications and bad elfects in which this disease often leaves the patient. A. .McMillen. BARTLEY. A. Barnett of McCook was a bus iness visitor here , last Saturday. Erwin Hopt of McCook visited friends here , Saturday and Sunday. C. G.

' The barber says the sarsaparilla ho got at the Indianola jag-factory cured his case of grip , and he don't give two beats of a tom-tom who knows it. Last Saturday , E. E. Smith moved the house on the Thompson farm , recently acquired by him , from tha hill to the flat near hiB dwelling and will build an addition to it soon. It will be occupied by H. L. Burton and family. The vane of the windmill con nected with the waterworks plant was broken by the wind , Wednes day. The town council may yet be compelled to house this affair of fearful and wonderful construction to keep it in running order ; it certainly would not impair its use fulness to do so. Carl Dennis of Olathe , Kansas , arrived here , last Saturday , and spent a couple of days with his brother E. L. , local manager for the Barnett Lumber Co. The for mer will also be in the employ of the company , this summer , and his talents will be devoted to building swine asylums for all , provided , of course , the company sells the ma terial. This community was shocked , Saturday morning of last week , by the sad intelligence that A. E. Morris , who recently went from here to Redky , Indiana , had met death by drowning the day previ ous. Particulars are meagre but it seems that on Friday afternoon he was riding a horse across a stream swollen by recent rains when the animal stumbled and threw him over its head. The body was not recovered until Saturday morning. General regret is ex pressed at the loss of this bright young man. If you have ever seen a child in the agony of croup , you can appreciate the gratitude o ( the mothers who know that One Minute Cough Cure relieves their little ones as quick ly as it is administered. Many homes in this city are never without it. A. McMillen. Spring Catarrh. Again spring is here. The long , cold winter with its bluster mid chill , has passed , and has left in its train innumerable victims of shronic catarrh. They have taken 1 great many remedies during the winter with perhaps temporary re lief , but a fresh cold has brought 4 CD du the old symptoms , and , heart sick and weary of trying , they have concluded that there can be no re lief for them. This is a great : mistake ; and now is the time to rectify it. The spring time is the most fa vorable time of the year to treat jatarrh. There is so much less liability to take fresh cold that the ireatment is unimpeded. All old jases of chronic catarrh should be- jiu immediately a course of Pe- : u-na as directed in Dr. Hartman's jooks on this disease. There are o many different phases and stages : ) f catarrh that one hardly knows vhen he has it. A great many Deople think they are suffering : rom something else and have tried nany medicines in vain , when if hey could realize that it is catarrh ind take Pe-ru-nafor it they would mprove promptly and soon recov- sr entirely. All who desire to learn more of satarrh should send for a free copy > f Dr. Hartman's latest book , { vhich will be sent free by The . ? e-ru-ua Drug Manufacturing , Company , Columbus , O. 1 1 E. E.
