OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER
PRESIDENT FAURE of the French
republic died in Paris on the nigh
of the 16th , of apoplexy.
AUDITOR CORNELL is perhaps
sorry now that he dispensed with
Deputy Lichty's invaluable ser
vices. Or , is he more sorry tha
he didn't fire him before he did' '
THE first anniversary of the de
struction of the Maine was celebra
ted by the navy department by the
laying of the keel of the new auc
greater battleship of that name.
THE vote on United States sena
tor , yesterday , showed no change
in the situation. A caucus is now
claimed to be in sight. An effor
is being made to secure both an
open and a secret bailot , to mee
the emergency.
IT is suggestive how anxious
some people are that no open bal
lot be taken in the election of the
K U. S. senator from this state. I
is not really very important , any
way , as the boodlers are pretty weU
known. No honest man need ob
ject to casting his vote in the open
usual way , and those objecting nat
urally place themselves under SUB
I picion and it will not be easy to
remove that suspicion.
STATE AUDITOR CORNELL founc
that the auditor's office was no
large enough to accommodate two
statesmen of the calibre of himsel :
and Insurance Deputy Lichty , anc
invited Samuel to take a sneak , or
words to that effect. On the fail
ure of the deputy to take the hint
Mr. Lichty was thrown over the
transom and peace and harmony
now reign in the auditor's office
where erstwhile were war and dis
cord ; and the auditor will conduct
the business of his office to suil
himself in the future with the as
sistance of J. J. Everingham. Mr.
Lichty will still not ride on a pass.
IT affords THE TRIBUNE pleasure
to aid and abet to the extent of its
ability , the effort now being made
by Holdrege and its friends in the
legislature to secure the passage ol
a bill establishing a state normal
school at Holdrege. The citizens
of Holdrege have guaranteed the
necessary site for the purpose and
a bill has been introduced in the
legislature asking the establish
ment of such an institution at thai
city. That such an educational
institution is needed in this part
of Nebraska goes without the say
ing , as the entire western and
southwestern part of the common
wealth is absolutely unrepresented
in this respect. And that Holdrege
is a proper place for such an in
stitution , geographically and as to
railroad facilities and all that sort
of thing is equally true. The
claims of Holdrege for recognition
in this matter are strong and
reasonable. We hope that success
may crown their efforts.
THE new senator from Indiana ,
Albert J. Beveridge , is an out-and-
out Greater American. The fol
lowing gem is from a speech de
livered by him at a luncheon given
by the Union League of Philadel
phia :
"The republic never retreats. Its
flag is the only flag that has never
known defeat. Where that flag
leads we follow , for we know that
the hand that bears it onward is
the unseen hand of God. We fol
low the flag and independence is
ours. We follow the flag and
nationality is ours. We follow
the flag and the oceans are ruled.
We follow the flag and , in Occident
and orient , tyranny falls and bar-
baiism is subdued. We follow the
flag at Trenton and Yalley Forge ,
at Saratoga and upon the crimson
seas , at Buena Vista and Chapul-
tepec , at Gettysburg and Mission
Eidge , at Santiago and Manila ,
and everywhere and always it
means larger liberty , nobler oppor
tunity and greater human happi
ness for everywhere and always it
means the blessings of the greater
republic. And so God leads , we
follow the flag , and the republic
never retreats. "

plied with the needful cob.
St. Valentine's day was gener
ally observed in the burglet , and
the comics were more than usually
in evidence , presumably on ac
count of the tendency of most people
ple to buy coal rather than costly
paper with the flower and celluloid
attachments. A. B. Wilson is the
only one on record who received
an expensive one , but this may be
explained by the fact that is re
ported to have come from Iowa
where coal isn't so much of a lux
ury as here.
An entertainment will be given

day evening , February 2oth. The

The trial of Oliver Bush for
shooting Samuel Bryan occurred
in McCook , Wednesday , and after
a few hours' deliberation the jury

shooting with intent to kill , at the
same time recommending the judge
0 be lenient in sentencing the
jrisoner. Bush was called to re-
seive sentence at the beginning of
; he afternoon session , Thursday ,
and no doubt was rudely jarred to
earn that the judge considered
; hree years at hard labor a fitting
eward for his rashness. He has
ittle sympathy in this community ,
and it is hoped the lesson will be
1 profitable one both to Bush and
lis associates.

TO THE GREAT CATARRH SPECIALIST ,
DR. HARTMAN.
Mortimer Kaphau , the nctor ,
who organized the Soldier-Actors
Company , which went to the front ,
says in a late letter to Dr. Hartman -
man in regard to Pe-ru-na : "I es-
lecially appreciate Pe-ru-na at
his season when I am liable to
colds , coughs , and other catarrhal
affections. Pe-ru-na is such an
admirable medicine for these corn-
jlaints that I shall not fail to
make free use of it whenever the
slightest symptom of cold annoys
me. All people of my profession
have a great dread of a cold , ns it
generally entirely disables them
from their duties. The nctor de
pends so much upon the clearness
of voice that a cough or cold is an
unmitigated calamity.
"I am told by members of my
profession that Pe-ru-na is
- - a re
liable remedy for la grippe. This
disease is so prevalent now that I
fim very glad to have a remedy at
hand. "

Catarrh" will be sent free by The

Company on request. Address
