OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPIER
THE TRIBUNE was with the presi
gang at Omaha , this week , in spirit
if not in person. Success to th <
guild and honor and emoluments
THERE is practically nothing
new in the senatorial situation a
Lincoln. By the loss of two votei
'from Pawnee county , yesterday
Hayward'a vote was reduced to 35
and field was again placed in nomi
nation.
IF Representative Israel is en
deavoring to make a "monkey" ol
himself he is succeeding in th (
manner in > vhich he is voting or
the senatorial question. It's th <
broadest thing that has happeuec
yet and deserves the resolution !
recently passed by the people o
his owu town Benkelman.
CONGRESS has so far properl ]
declined to give Omaha any mor <
money for exposition purposes
The people of Nebraska-don't wan
any more expositions anywhere ii
the state just now. Call it the olc
fight of the country against thi
city , if you will , but they don'
want it , and they are the people
Do you mind.
SOME Populists have strange
ideas about the pass question. Foi
instance , one of the naughty gentlemen -
tlemen "under the dome , " whc
finds it difficult to bear in silence
his unspeakable load of pride ovei
the fact that he does not use G
pass , has no hesitation whatevei
in requesting a pass for the hired
girl of his landlady. Thus are
the nicest distinctions established.
MR. CHOATE tells this little one
on himself : It was when his name
was sent to the senate as ambassa
dor to the court of St. James. His
old friend , Russell Sage , who was
lashed so unmercifully by Mr.
Choate in the Laidlaw suit , heard
the news and asked if it was really
true. On being assured that it
was correct , the old man looked
heavenward and exclaimed : "Well ,
God save the queen ! "
THE late squabble in the senate
over the comparative achievements
of Sampson and Schley in the
Santiago campaign was not very
creditable , but it perhaps necessi
tates another court of inquiry to
settle the matters brought into the
discussion by these rash friends of
the respective mariners. The sen
ate appears to be degenerating into
an arena for scolding matches since
the close of the war. Journal.
THE friends of George H.Grubb ,
a former resident of Red Willow
county , and prominent iu Republi
can politics , will be pleased again
to know that he is the choice of the
Republicans of Montana for U. S.
senator , and is receiving every Re
publican vote in the legislature of
that state for the office. Although
not enough to elect , the honor is
none the less appreciated. Mr.
Grubb was the Republican can
didate for the supreme bench , last
fall , but was defeated.
THE Nebraska press association
closed its 27th annual meeting in
Omaha , Thursday night , with a
banquet and other stirring partic
ulars. The session is described as
one of the most interesting yet
held , by the association , which is
gradually taking its deserved
place. The next meeting will be
held in Lincoln. The Omaha
people treated the "boys" infine
style. The officers for the ensuing
year : President , W. N. Huse of

discharge has been issued him.
Now for the big chicken show
at McCook , Monday , Tuesday and
Wednesday , February 6th , 7th and
8th. It promises to be a splendid
exhibition of fine poultry. See it.
Colonel Phillips of the Reporter
hied himself away to Omaha , first
of the week , to attend the annual
session of the Nebraska press assoc
iation. He was on the program ,
and no doubt gave the pencil-
pushers and moulders of public
opinion some original thoughts.
It is thought that Martinelli
will take a hand in the Father
" " controversy
Sproll-"Man-About-Town"
versy , which has been figuring in
the Reporter for several weeks
with sensational interest. Such
action is expected in the interest
of the Indianola Catholid church ,
which must needs suft'er on ac
count of the unfortunate affair.
We find pleasure in announcing
the recent appointment of J. Floyd
Welborn , formerly of this place , to
be eastern manager of the business
interests of the Colorado Fuel < fc
Iron Company , with which he has
been connected for several years.
He will have offices in New York
City and his promotion means a
very neat increase in his remuner
ation.
VAILTON.
Win. Burton was visiting at
Archie Speer's , Saturday.
Neighbor Hartman was shelling
joru , the first of the"week.
Mr. Green has increased his al-
: eady large cattle herd by over

md is favorable and opportune for
arge stock ranches.
S. C. King will have charge of
he place known as the Dave Oar-
) enter ranch , this coming season.
School closed in Vailton district ,
nst week. Miss LeHew seems to
lave had a very successful term ;
, nd by the way , she will also be
greatly missed in the literary so-
iety.
The school gave the literary
ociety the benefit of a few spec-
al songs and quotations of a pa-
riotic nature , which helped very
materially in the evening's enter-
ainment and was greatly apprec-
ited.
IT is astonishing how solicitous
ome people are about Uncle Sam's
'aist-band ' , when the matter of ex-
ansion , or so-called imperialism ,
! broached.

Horace Ivey of the Inter-Ocean
spent Sunday in Indianola. He
says Indianola is a very enterpris
ing little city ; in fact , "Toogood"
to stay away from for any length
of time.
Dr. J. M. Brown has purchased
the T. M. Sexton property in the
northeastern part of town and will
occupy the same ere long. The
doctor is evidently an expansionist
of very pronounced form.
A reception was given in the hall ,
Saturday evening of last week , by
the Epworth League in honor of
Frank Vickrey , who departed on
Monday morning for Lincoln to
enter Wesleyan university for the
remainder of the school year.
If the public pulse may be re
garded as a reliable indication ,
that stalwart Republican , S. W.
Clark , will corral the nomination
of the party for county clerk , this
summer. And none would make
a better race or fill the responsible
position more acceptably than Sam ,
either.
"Freem" Utter of McCook spent
a few days here , early in the week ,
assisting in packing up his house
hold and personal effects. Mrs.
Utter and the children accompan

Beck in this locality will learn

ng to encourage the belief that
he grim messenger was not near

LA GRIPPE.
Hon. Josiah B. Allen , Clerk o
the Supreme Court of Ohio , in i
recent letter to Dr. Hartmau , said
"I have , been afflicted with a dis
ease , commonly known as la grippe
every winter since that disease wai
discovered. I have tried man ]
remedies without success. Thii
spring I was induced to try i
bottle of Pe-ru-na. I have nov
taken two bottles and have receivec
much benefit therefrom. In fact
all symptoms of the disease seen
to have left me. Therefore , ]
cheerfully recommend the virtue !
of Pe-ru-na. "
La grippe leaves a person hag
gard , weak , sallow , frazzled out
mucous membranes all congested
appetite changeable , digestion ca
pricious , and just about empties
life of all meaning or desirability
But the effects of la grippe neec
no discussion. People understand
that themselves. There is no rem
edy in the world that meets the
conditions produced by la grippe
better than Pe-ru-na. Send for i

FROM TENNESSEE.
Chattanooga. Tenn. , Jan. 21st ,
1899. Editor Tribune : According
to promise , I write you a few lines
from this state. I arrived at
Chattanooga , December 1st , and
found here a beautiful city of 40-
000 , situated at the foot of Look
out mountain and surrounded by
country made famous by battle
fields of the civil war. I have vis
ited the National cemetery where
13,000 of our Federal soldiers are
sleeping their Inst sleep. Have
visited General Grant's head
quarters , but ns yet have not been
to Chickamaugii National Park.
Phere is so much to see , I will
liardly see all.
From here I went to my old
borne in Roane county , and could
liardly recognize the places and
[ aces I knew in my youth. This
country is broken and mountain-
) us , so different from our prairie
ands.
I found my wife well of her
; aucer , or nearly so , and we expect
: o start for Nebraska in a few
lay. It is warm and plensant
lere , but it rains too much for
lomfort.
Wishing you and your paper
success , I remain sincerely ,
A. W. CAMPBELL.
We will not be home until the
irst of February. Will visit our
ihildren on the way home.

ONE LITTLE WORD.
About our cashmethod. _ Everybody , almost everybody , understands that vse
sell strictly for cash ; that our business is run oh tha't"plan"t'lTatour"prices aread-
justed to that basis. So well is this known that we are seldom asked for crediK And
in most such cases our explanation is accepted in good part. In a few cases , how"-
ever , we have been asked for goods on credit by people who are amply entitled to
credit in any credit store , and our refusal to change our cash plan for them has , we
regret to say , offended them. We are very sorry of this , but we must say that our
purpose to do a cash business is bona fide and settled ; that it is obvious to all that
there is only one way possible to do it , and that is to treat everybody alike ; and that
there is only one way HONORABLE , and that is to have it a fact and not a mere pre
tense. We cannot bring ourselves to sleekly and slyly accommodate the well-off
customer who could easily pay the cash , and then refuse the one who really needs
the credit with the statement that "we do only a cash business. " No , we can't ; and
we are thankful that the cases of feeling have been so few. It certainly should be
no offense to anyone that we choose the cash 'method for our business. A small
profit in hand is more powerful in merchandising than a larger one on a book , and
cash stores are good for a town.
