THE Republican state ticket is
clean and able so far as The TRIB
UNE is able to learn , and is alto
gether worthy of the support anc
franchise of the people of Nebras
ka. If elected they will honor the
state and administer her affairs
with great credit.
CAPTAIN CLAIRE ADAMS is a man
the old soldier of the Fifth district
will take special delight in sup
porting for congress. The captain
was a brave and patriotic soldier.
He is a good citizen and has the
qualifications for an active , intelli
gent and upright congressman
The captain is right and sound on
the vital questions of the day and
will safely represent the interests
of this district. THE TRIBUNE
f warmly commends him to the voters
i ! ers of the Fifth district.
THE republicans of the Fifth
congressional district in convention
at Holdrege on Tuesday evening of
this week nominated Captain C. E.
Adams , of Superior , for our next
congressman from this district.
Mr. Adams is a veteran of the war
of 1861 and prominently identified
with the organization of the Grand
Army of the Republic in this state.
He is always working for the best
interest of the people , and will ably
represent this district in the next
- congress. Beukelman News.
HOBSON has obtained permis
sion , after much opposition , to try
his plans for the raising of the
Cristobal Colon from the beach
near Santiago with his rubber basr
device , and is hard at work , not
withstanding he has been stricken
with the fever , refusing to retire
to the hospital. The young man
is evidently fond of taking big
risks. If he succeeds he will in
crease his glory , for all the experts
say he cannot do it. It is a credit
to the administration that it de
cided to give the young man a
Il I chance whatever be the outcome.
l\ \ Every young man in America will
lI I rejoice to see him succeed in ad
\ ding that'ship to the American
uavv. Journal. i
OUT in a western Nebraska town
a few months ago the American
Volunteers opened up a camp and
began a lively religious crusade.
The work met with considerable
success , and it was only a short
time till quite a band of workers
had been enlisted in the cause. A
few weeks ago a steam merry-go-
round entered the same town , and
interest in religious work began to
wane. Before long the religious
workers found it impossible to
gather an audience , and in a short
time afterward creditors closed in
on their church furniture and sold
it at public sale for church indebt
edness. The history of this one
religious crusade from beginning
to end shows the baneful influence
one little merry-go-round can ex
orcise when it tries. Lincoln

COLONEL JAMES A. SEXTON of
Chicago has been elected com-
mander-in-chief of the national G.

COLONEL MITCHELL insists that
Samuel Randolph has well devel
oped wings white wings. But
even white wings won't elect him
county attorney. Not this year.
MUTUAL insurance companies
are declared not exempt from the
war tax , but must affix stamps to
policies at the rate of one-half of
one per cent on each $1 premium.
THE political situation has be
come so acute in Colorado as to
make murder and riot easy and
simple. They have a wretched
brand of politics up in the Cen
tennial State , operated by "plug-
uglies" of a most desperate sort.
THE Democrats of Red Willow
county have wearied of being a
very small and insignificant tail to
the Populist kite , and , this year , by
formal resolutions , absolved them
selves from supporting any partic
ular party nominees. It will be a
with them this
go-as-you-please ,
election.
IN the prime of a vigorous man
hood , well equipped mentally , and
experienced as well , Dr. J. E.
Hathoru , the Republican nominee
for representative of Red Willow
county , should be elected by a
round majority. He would make
an active and efficient member of
the legislature and would be a
credit to this county and constitu
ency.
ency.ONE
ONE of the ablest lawyers of
Southwestern Nebraska , W. R.
Starr , the Republican nominee for
the office of county attorney , com
mends himself to the voters of this
county as fully and completely
prepared to ably and carefully dis
charge all of the duties of that of
fice. Nothing short of a good ,
round majority will suit the case
and THE TRIBUNE wagers a cooky
that the majority will be ample for
all practical purposes.
ED. ALLEN , th Republican
nominee for state senator , repre
sents much that goes to make the
typical , successful , frontiersman.
By his intelligence and energy and
everlastingly sticking to it , he has
gathered a competency in this new
land. This energy , judgment , in
telligence , fairness , power to anal
yze questions , and courage of con
viction , will make him a typical
state senator. Yole for him.
E. N. ALLEN , of Arapahoe , was
on last Friday at McCook nomiua-
; ed by the republicans for state
senator from this district. Mr.
AJlen was also nominated for the
same place two years ago and ran
several hundred votes ahead of his
icket. He is a very popular gen-
lemau where he is known , and all
hat is needed to assure his elec-
ion is to have the people of this
listrict once become acquainted
vith him. Benkelman News.
EVERY wild story of alleged neg-
jlect or needless suffering in the
nilitary camp told by any irre-
iponsible fakir is eagerly caught
ip by the yellow journals as sup-
) ort for their maligant assaults
ipon the war officers. On the
> ther hand every report made by
: ompetent and experienced observ-
irs , who all agree that camps and
lospitals are in better condition
han could be expected , is entirely
gnored and suppressed or its
ruthfulness impugned. The yel-
ow yellers are bond to have news
o fit their purpose if they have to
aanufacture it themselves. Bee.

\ CRITICAL TIME
luring the Battle of
Santiago.
ICK OR WELL , A RUSH NIGHT
AND DAY.
he Packers at the Battle of Santiago de
Cuba were all Heroes. Their Heroic
Efforts in Getting1 Ammunition to the
Front Saved the Day.
P. E. Butler , of pack-train No. 3 , writ-
ig from Santiago De Cuba , on July 236 ,
lys : "We all had diarrhoea in more or
; ss violent form , and when we landed
e had no time to see a doctor , for it
as a case of rush and rush night and
ay to keep the troops supplied with ani-
mmtion and rations , but thanks to
hamberlain's Colic , Cholera and Diar-
icea Remedy , we were able to keep at
ork and keep our health ; in fact , I sin-
: rely believe that at one critical time
lis medicine was the indirect savior of
ur army , for if the packers had been un-
ble to work there would have been no
ay of getting supplies to the front ,
here were no roads that a wagon train
juld use. My comrade and myself had
le good fortune to lay in a supply of
lis medicine for our pack-train before
e left Tampa and I know in four cases
absolutely saved life. "
