B H l Last week's Indianola Beporter
K 8 was in demand here. Colonel
H 8 Phillips is a picturesque figure in
B -8 our politics.
Bj 1 The Omaha Bee charges the
8 ] 1 Lincoln Journal with having Fop-
B' 1 ulistic tendencies. To which the
Journal responds that it does not
I , regard the Bee as being competent -
• . tent authority to pass upon its po-
B litical standing at any rate.
K After perusing the returns of
H' the election , Colonel Mitchell is
B ; constrained to raise up his voice
K and announce that the Populists
Bp are in the minority , and calls for
R § the lovers of bimetalism to get to-
B | I gether and that right speedily.
8' § e Colonel is an astute politician
| | that's apparent on the surface.
II But as we have had occasion to
! jjj state iu times past , the Colonel
I ' must never be taken seriously. He
B | i ! is too unspeakably funny for any-
81 i thing serious. They have always
Bjf 1 been iu the minority. And the
Bjf I Colonel is just awakening to a
Hl § lj ' well known fact.

1 ' ' The fusion ticket in Hayes county

1 j I Courier.
I 1 As we understand the situation in
; 1 Hayes county , fusion cut no particular
I figure in the result. The opposition
B clerk , sheriff , and coroner were elected
i by republican votes solely on local is-
I sues. The " machine " was making a
desperatefight on Abbott and his Repub-
j j lican newspaper , and in self defense and
to get rid of a corrupt gang Abbott and
I his friends retaliated , and his flag is float
ing high. Outside republicans have
, !
their own ideas as to who has always
1 kept Hayes county in the republican col-
1 umn , and no suspicion attaches to Ab-
( bolt's republicanism. Hayes county
gare Post for supreme judge 82 majority ,
' and Irvine , democrat , for county clerk ,
( 96 majority. That tells the whole story
I as to who is who.

Use Sheridan Coal.
They-dwelt in a beautiful cottage ,
Their children were pretty and sweet ;
They lived in the state of Nebraska ,
Where the farmers know how to raise wheat.
Of comforts , they had a good many ,
Yet at times o'er them trouble would roll ;
But the worst that the mother complained ot
Was the fact that they burned dirty coal.
One morn while the children were sleeping ,
And the mother was winding some yarn ,
A man with some paint and some brushes
Began painting a sign on a barn.
In letters as white as the snow drifts ,
When the wind from the north makes them
roll ,
Distinctly and plainly he painted
These words : "Use Sheridan Coal. "
At eve when the father returning
Saw the sign looming up big and white ,
Said : "Wife I think we will buy some ,
For they tell me the coal is all right. "
Next morning he went to the dealer ,
And said as he pulled out his roll ,
My wife and I have concluded ,
It best to use Sheridan coal.

The supreme court of the state of New
York has just granted a working man a
judgment for $500. The man was recent
ly black-listed by certain parties. He
sued for damages and was awarded the
sum mentioned , the judges holding that
a man had the right to labor , and that
the black-list interfered with the right
unlawfully.
The Republican defeat can largely be
attributed to factionalism and indiffer
ence in Nebraska , this year. Republi
cans must get together.
And now they are quarreling whether
Gov. Holcomb or Private Secretary Ma-
ret wrote the Governor's thanksgiving
proclamation.
Mrs. John Hunt is expecting to come
down from Union. Hitchcock county , to
join her husband , who is in the compa
ny's employ here.
Sam A. Garber , representing The
Chamberlain Medicine Co. , was in the
city , today , on business of the company.

bined to pror
duce a type of womanhood quite
distinct from the women of other
countries. It has become almost
an every-day occurrence for the
nobility and royal blood of Europe
to cross the water in search of an
American beautv , for the United
States has become famous through
out the world. The American
beauty is a peculiar product of this
country. She has , however , one
formidable enemy , not only to her
beauty , but to her health as well.
That enemy is indigenous to the
climate and soil of the United
States. It is called Catarrh. Al
most every woman has it in milder
or severe forms. Our climate
makes it well-nigh unavoidable.
It is the only natural enemy the
American woman hns. Not only
is the United States the home of
catarrh , but it is also the home of
the now world-famous catarrh rem
edy , Pe-rn-ua. The medical pro
fession has at last succeeded in de
vising a remedy for the well-nigh
universal disease.
Dr. Hartmau , the original com
pounder of Pe-ru-na , has a recent
book ou chronic catarrh which he
will send.free to any address for a
short time. Address The Pe-ru-na
Drug Mfg. Co. , Columbus , O.

ru-na Almanac for 1898.

Pay Your Delinquency.
Iu view of the better times , and higher
prices for grain etc. , the publisher ex
pects those indebted to The Tribune
for subscription to make good their de-
liuquencies at once. During the con
tinued hard times and failures no effort
was made to force the collection of sub
scription accounts , but now that the con
ditions have changed greatly for the bet
ter it is expected that these delinquencies
will be promptly paid up. Statements
will be sent out to all in arrears and with
the expectation that all will appreciate
our past indulgence and respond at once.

The current number of "Collier's
Weekly" presents the same array of
famous literary names that have earned
for it such deserved distinction among its
contemporaries. The editorials on Cuba
and Bimetalism are scholar and power
ful presentations of these questions , in
their latest aspect. Edgar Saltus , in
"Our Note Book , " Julian Hawthorne
and Edgar Fawcett , in their respective
departments 1 , and John Habberton , in
"Throughout the Land , " reflect through
their polished paragraphs the thousand
and ; one interests that engage the attention - j
tion of thoughtful men the world over. I
The illustrations are particularly striking
the drawing , by Sonntag , of the Rail
road Disaster near Garrison's being absolutely -
lutely tragic in its grim reality. Alto
gether , this nuniDer of Collier's Weekly
is exceptionally noteworthy , and wil
command the attention of all who love
