I ONE DOLLAR A YEAR.
H From and after January 1st , 1898 , the
H subscription price of THE McCOOK TRIB
ES UNE will be $1.00 a year , if paid In ad-
H vance. All arrearages on subscription
H will be received on the basis of a dollar a
H year. This will make a considerable
H saving to all those that are a number of
Hj ' years in arrears , and should stimulate
H an early settlement of all delinquent sub-
H scrlptions. It is our purpose to bring the
H , subscription to a cash-in-advance basis
H • as rapidly as circumstances and the times
H will warrant. THE PUBLISHER.
H Dr. T. DeWitt Talmage , the
H eminent eastern divine , was mar-
H ried on last Saturday afternoon to
H . Mrs. Eleanor M. Collier , the cere-
H I mony being performed in Fitts-
H burg.
H The noisy chatter about "the
H Dingley bill failing to raise reve-
H • nue" grows fainter and fainter.
H Listen for the revival of the old
H Democratic howl , "The danger ot
H un enormous surplus. "
H The Nebraska Federation of Ke-
_ H publican newspapers is already
H ' limbering up in preparation for
H the coming campaign , in which
H they expect to be as they have been
H in the past , a potent and helpful
H element.
H Perhaps the views Colonel Phil-
H lips expressed iu last week's Re-
B porter concerning Indianola and
H the creamery .were not just what
H the citizens of that place expected
H of him , but then Jasper has a way
H of giving expression to what he
H opines , regardless.
1 The bubonic plague hns again
H broken out in Bombay and multi-
1 tudes are fleeing for their lives. It
H gives promise of being a greater
H terror even than last vear , with
H chances of being more widely
m spread than then. Without saui-
1 taiy laws and with the people un-
fl restrained the condition seems
H well-nigh hopeless.
B The confirmation of Joseph Mc-
B Xenna of California fo be an asso-
H - ciate member of the United States
H supreme court indicates that a fairly
H broad idea ' of statesmanship ob-
H | tains in the senate. The disfran-
Hj chising worthy and c6mpetent citi-
M zens ou religious grounds is repug-
H nant to any fair and Adequate con-
H ception of the genius of a free and
H enlightened government. . The reM -
M suit is reassuring and hopeful.
H The Nebraska Press association
H meeting held in Lincolnthis , week ,
m was one of the most successful in
H every aspect , from every point of
H view , since the organization of the
m association. Attendance was unu-
H sually large and the interest man-
H ifested was broader and deeper.
H s The meetings are becoming more
H ( business-like and the literary feat-
H ures more meritorious. The enter-
H tainment was unexceptionable , but
H more next week.

Raffling seems to be the occu

ing a gambling joint.

DR. HARTMAN SATS
PE-RU-NA CURES CATARRH WHER
EVER LOCATED.
All classes and conditions of
people have chronic catarrh. It
spares neither strong or weak , old
mfW
or young , healthy
or sickly. All ranks
of people have the
chronic ca t a rrh.
Rich ni e n , poor
men , beggar men ,
thieves , lawyers ,
doctors , merchants ,
priests. Not only
catarrh of the head , but catarrh of
the throat , catarrh of the lungs , ca
tarrh of the stomach , catarrh of the
liver , catarrh of the kidneys , ca
tarrh of the bowels ; and a multi
tude of women arp afflicted with
catarrh of the pelvic organs.
When it is said , therefore , that
Pe-rn-na cures catarrh wherever
located , a much larger fact is stat
ed than at first appears. Who is
it that says Pe-ru-na will cure
wherever located ? Doctors say its
lawyers say it , preachers say it , a
vast army of men and women say
it , who have tried it. The old and
the young say it. They say it in
the east and iu the west ; they say
it iu the north and in the south.
All these say that Pe-ru-na will
cure catarrh wherever located.

From the St. Francis Line.
Atwood , Kans , January 26th. Special
Correspondence to The Tribune : The
• Beatrice Creamery Company has mapped
out five points on the St. Francis branch
for erecting separating stations : Beaver
City , Wilsonville , Danbury , Herndon ,
and Atwoou. A refrigerator car will be
run to gather the products of these sub-
creameries. The Atwood creamery is
being erected and is located near the
Beaver.
The Burlington has distributed twelve
cars of bridge timber between Atwood
and Danbury.
Superintendent A.Campbell and Train
master W. Josselyn in private car No. 10
were inspecting this branch , last Thurs
day and Friday.
The Atwood flouring mills , under the
management of Mr. Malone , are " getting
a splendid business , farmers coming as
far as twenty miles to mill. Mr. Malone
is deserving of patronage , as he turns out
a superior brand of flour.
It was a very pleasant evening enjoyed
at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Fairchild -
child , recently a birthday party in
honor ot Mrs , Leone Fairchild. Twenty
covers were laid and roast turkey and
other delicacies were served. The guests
presented the hostess with an elegant
toilet set. Games and festivities were
enjoyed till a late hour. '
Engine No. 212 , "The Old Reliable , "
with John Burton and Henry Culbertson
as crew , laid over at St.Francis , Sunday ,
the 23d. The 212 is one of the Burling
ton's best standard engines , and -we wish
she would stay with us.
The branch is covered with a good fall
of snow.
Atwood ships out , Wednesday , ten car
loads Jof stock via the Burlington. The
stock train , Wednesday a week ago , had
thirty-four car loads of stock. We chal
lenge any branch of the Burlington to do
better for the 91 miles from Atwood to
Orleans.
The ice harvest is in full blast all along
this branch. All the ice houses at At
wood and St. Francis are full. The Burl
ington has eight car loads at the com
pany's ice house in St. Francis. There
is no reason why we cannot keep cool
next summer.
The farmers along the line are busy
preparing their machinery to put out
the biggest crop ever known in this sec
tion.
The New Court House.
The contract for building the new court
house has been awarded to James Mc-
Adams of our city , the price being $8 , -
935 to enclose the building. The plans
were made by M. Leach of Lincoln , and
a handsome , roomy and convenient
building will be the result when the
structure is completed. An adjourned
meeting of the city council was held , last
night , for the purpose of passing on Mr.
McAdams' bond. Work will commence
as soon as it is possible.
"We , The People. "
The opera house was fairly well filled ,
last evening , with an audience eager to
hear William Hawley Smith's celebrated
lecture , "We , The People. " That none
were disappointed , but the rather were
entertained and instructed , goes without
the saying. The lecturer is a wit and a
philosopher , and withal wholesome and
clever. He appeared under auspices of
the Epworth League.

I think I can safely say that the
last sheaf is threshed.
The farmers were having a boss
time husking , the latter part of last
week , but the snow of Sunday
night is giving them a rest again.
Wood-chopping , which has been
the usual employment previous
winters on the Willow in this vi

being heard.
Many rushed their swine to mar
ket , as hog cholera seemed inevi

pscaped , which seems little less
than miraculous.
Mr. and Mrs. Drake , the bride
and groom , were McCook visitors ,
last Saturday , presumably to sup
ply themselves with the necessar
ies for house-keeping.
O Pleasant Bidge arise and
shine , And send forth poetry sub
lime , Like a bell within a steeple ,
Bing out glad chimes to the pee
ple. Arise , arise in all thy glory ,
That all may read thy pleasing
story. Thou hast much melody in
store , Send it forth as in days of
yore ; Bejoice the hearts of rich and
poor , Bring blessings on thee ever
more.
