TWENTY SECOND YEAR
The Same Money Better Goods
Thoro is no necessity for anyono toluy
inferior meats of uny Uind from peddlers
when bettor und more reliable meats can
be secured for the same money at Paul
Antons meat market Ho offers bis
customers nly good meats nothingje
jected travel -injured or too poor for the
market but sound fat good stuff every
timo And you can get such meat at
from 5 to 7 cents for beef and 7 cents
for pork And as a matter of fair play
dont you think the regular dealer who
has pulled through the long hot and ex
pensive summer season is now entitled
to your patronago when the less expen
sive cold season is at hand Just con
sider theso facts when you come to buy
your meats and as a fair man a live
and lot livo citizen you cant help but
buy of tho regular market where you
know that you are getting absolutely
reliablo meats and in addition mark
you it isnt costing any more than poor
er inferior unmarketable meats offered
by tho peddlers
The Tribune Was In Error
The Triiiune was in error last week
In its reference to the new student
idea to bo enforced on tho Burlington
Wo stated that tho present student
plan would bo done away with This is
a mistake The present student plan
of tho company is entirely satisfactory
and the company claims that they have
as a result of this system at least so far
as the Western division is concerned as
fine and competent a body of stationmen
as can bo found on any road in the coun
try Hence the existing system will ob
tain and will be encouraged as produc
ing results which cannot be excelled by
any other -known plan It is tho policy
of the Burlington to make its own men
as far as possible and practicable and
in its stationmen this plan has been ex
ceptionally successful and satisfactory
Collection Came High
The style of collection practiced upon
W F Porter by Joseph Spotts and John
Miller Thursday night of last week
both failed of its purpose and proved
rather costly for both of tho collectors
Joe and John put up cash bonds in the
sum of 25 each for their appearance in
court last Friday morning As Joe had
his car already loaded and was ready to
proceed west to his new home in Utah
he evidently thought it was worth more
to him to go that night than to wait
over till tho next day and fight the case
in court Hence the bonds were both
forfeited Ere this Joe has reached his
destination and the case is closed
Was Held Up For His Purse
Glenn Hupp who is now in Lincoln
attending the state university had the
new and rather uncomfortable exper
ience last Sunday night of being held
up in the state capital for his pocket
book and contents Glenn reports that
the gun the hold up shoved in his face
looked about tho size of a 16 inch can
non and that it didnt take long for him
to present the robber with his purse and
contents Ho fortunately was not re
lieved of his handsome watch and chain
and feels pretty good on That account
Is Nearing- Completion
The Catholic church will likely bo
completed by the first of the coming
year This handsome structure will cost
about 850000 and of this large sum
all has been subscribed for but about
50000 This is a fine showing The
building will be the best in this section
of the state a credit to McCook and the
pride of St Patricks congregation
