• Fie jffitftuk SVitoae. By F. M. KIMMELL. S1.60 A YEAR IN ADVANCE. ' Republican I JBBi | N spaper cl > ' i i i > x MttfeL' ' ' " - And all said audi done , good old Johnny Powers is still oat of a l * ob. But then he is ancient enough to enjoy a rest. A movement is proposed to raise funds with which to erect a suitable - ble monument to the memory of the late Congressman' McKeighan. The York Republican prophesies that Bartiey will not go to prison and that the money he is charged with-stealing will not be recovered. The Hastiugs Tribune is our authority for the statement that Ex-Secretary of State JoelA.Piper is setting up his political pins for future use. If Ave could gel Joe Johnson , Will Dayton and 'Tim Sedgwick and the Populist.party into a 24j j foot ring , the Populist party would- ( n't last longer than a snowball in The Trenton Leader is a new i candidate for popular favor up in < Hitchcock county. It is Populist ' in politics and E. O. Adams and Harry W. Risley are the Colonels . in charge. Hj I There are some wholesome in- Hjl dications pointing to the probable Hi establishment of a permanent tariff Bl [ commission , composed of experts , HI ] statisticians and business men. Hp Thoughtful politicians and busi- Hl ] ness men generally have long de- Hij sired and sought to devise some I I means through which this tariff I 1 tinkering : might be taken out of I 1 politicsv and the extremes of tariff I § legislation avoided. Some of our HI broader statesmen , notably Senator Hi - Cullom , are openly advocating the H idea of a permanent commission , H aud the idea recommends itself to H The Tribune as a sensible and H practical way out of what is getting I to be an expensive and tiresome I muddle.

Mrs. Nellie Hodgkin of Cam bridge Sundayed with friends here. Otto Gras" of Indianola was a visitor at the meeting of teachers , Saturday. W.Y.Vickrey moved on Monday into the property recently purch ased of O. Prost. A. M. Brittell moved , first of the week , into the Scurr property va cated , by W.Y.Vickrey. Milt. Frost spent Sunday here with hisparents , it being their last day ( as denizens of this place. Miss Lulu Stilgebouer of Danbury - bury i accompanied the teachers from : that place , Saturday last. . J.W. 'ianiels left , Sunday even ing , a delegate to the bi-eunial meeting of the grand lodge of the A. O. U. W. held in Omaha , this week. A union meeting was held in the Christian , church , Sunday evening , and , Rev. May field of the Method ist church discoursed to a fair-sized congregation. Rev.G.B. Mayfield went to Ben- kelman , Monday evening , to attend the Orleans district ministerial as sociation , which convened there on Tuesday evening. Erwin Hopt of the McCook pub lic schools attended the pedagogic conclave here , Saturday , and re mained over Sunday to visit his parents in East Valley. Mrs. J. H. Stephens and Ethel came down from the farm in Fron tier conuty , north of Box Elder , last Saturday , and spent a couple of days here with the girls. About a dozen young people went from here to Indianola , Fri day eveuiug of last week , to hear the elooutionary efforts of the much advertised Roy Israel of Orleans. George LeHew , night caller for the Burlington at McCook , consti tuted himself a committee of one to chaperone the teachers from that place , last Saturday , and served them in the capacity of chief coun selor and guide , while here. This was "Superintendent" LeHew's initial visit to a town of our impor tance , and since he has discovered us , with proper encouragement he may decide to put in a round house or union depot or something of that kind here. O. FROST AND FAMILY DEFART. O. Frost , cashier of the late Bank of Bartiey , and family left , Sunday evening , for Beaver Cross ing , this state , where Mrs. Frost and Reuben will spend about two weeks with friends and afterwards visit at Columbus and Broken Bow , going from there to Detroit , Mich igan to spend a good part of the summer with relatives. It is need less to state that their departure is a matter of general and sincere re gret. They have always been among the foremost in affairs of a social nature and identified with every enterprise which would prove of benefit to the town or ameliorate the condition of those around them. Their untiring efforts to improve and beautify their residence pro perty , in which they have been abundantly successful , it being by far the most attractive in town , cannot fail to be appreciated by every admirer'of trees and shrub- 'bery and flowers and lawns and well-kept premises. In Mr. Frost the town has lost a valued business man and a citizen who commanded the admiration of even his opposers by his persistent and invariably successful efforts to accomplish those ends which he deemed wise and just. In Mrs. Frost local society has lost a leader , one who will be missed on every hand , and who was always lending her cheerful disposition to brighten the pathway of others. Charitable to a fault , she was constantly ren dering assistance to the needy and afflicted and with them her place will be most difficult to fill. In Reuben his youthful playmates have lost their ( jolliest memberone always willing to sacrifice his pleasure if by that means he could add to the enjoyment of others. For him to know one was to gain their everlasting friendship and his companions are a unit in ex pressing regret at his removal. Fortunate indeed is the place where this family decides to locate and to it we tender our heartiest felicitation. Between 125 and 150 friends were at the depot when thev left to wish them .god-speed and a safe journey , thus testifying to the es teem in which they are held by those who have known them for years. , Mr. Frost returned , Tuesday morning , and will probably be in the vicinity attending to business for about two weeks before his departure. THE COUNTY TEACHERS. The wielders of the ferule , the autocrats of the "brainenes" , those who preside over the nation's destiny - tiny , in shortthe dear , sweet-faced , charming , chic , little schoolma'ams h'oin alljparts of the count7 , flitted into town , Saturday morning , with the effect of a ray of sunshine in a Kansas cyclone cellar , and went away in the evening leaving the ; town seemingly brighter and better j because of their brief stay within j its borders. McCook , Indianola , Danbury , Lebanon , Cambridge , l and Frontier county were represented - c sented , and the attendance partic ularly at the afternoon session was ( large. \ The morning assembly was opened with music by a vocal quar tet consisting of Misses Kate Smith and Nellie Stephens and Messrs. f Perce Catlett and A. B.Wilsonand devotional exercises by Rev. G. B. Mayfield. Following was a paper , "The Use of the Story" , by Mrs. Ami Teel of Indianola , which elic ited considerable discussion. A guitar duet by Miss Grace Cnrlee and John Jones , and a paper by County Supt. Carnahan closed the forenoon program. The beginning of the afternoon session was characterized by a vocal solo , Tennyson ' s well-known poem , "The Bugle Song" , by Miss Hannah Stangeland of McCook , who delighted her auditors by her charming rendition. She was ac companied on the organ by Mrs. Frank Brown of Cambridge. Mrs. Sylvester Cordeal of McCook and Frank Abbott of Danbury were not present , but the subjects of their papers , "What Constitutes Order in the School-room" and "The Relation - , lation of Teacher and School- board" , were discussed by the assemblage. In presenting his address on "Cultivating the Imag ination" Prof. William Valentine of McCook did not disappoint those wTho expected the usual treat from his lips and , borrowing the expres sion , "When he had finished noth- iug remained to be said" . Rev. Hart L. Preston handled his sub ject , "The Teacher and Truth" , in a very able manner and was accor ded the closest attention. A guitar solo by John Jones concluded the program. At this juncture Presi dent C. N. Whittaker was reminded that he had another attraction and accordingly introduced Roy Israel of Orleans as "an elocutionist of more than ordinary ability" . Mr. Israel then endeavored to interest the audience by a labored recital of a granger's version of "How Reubenstein Played the Piano" . Then the meeting closed "for sure" . Unconditional surrender , is trie only terms those famous little pills known as DeWitt's Little Early Risers will make with constipa tion , sick headache and stomach troubles. A. McMillen. DANBURY.

His wife i did not approve of Mr. Rowland's purchase | at first , but nevertheless applied the Halm * J thoroughly and in an hour's' time was able to / * fl go to sleep. She now applies it whenever she feels an ache or a pain and finds that it always f i gives relief. He says that no medicine which id * she had used ever did her as much good.
