J E KnirrY Hknuy Fox Jr
Secretary Chairman
Congressman Nonius has secured S8
pension and S200 back pay for Mrs
Augusta Burrows of Upland
Congressman Nouris has recommen
ded Delia M Funk for postmistress at
Atlanta Phelps county vice Noah John
son resigned
While Hon James W Dolan of In
dianola is perhaps not an announced
candidate for the honor it seems to
The Tribune that it would be but a
fitting recognition of an honorable and
stalwart career as a Republican to name
him as one of the Nebraska delegates to
the national convention Nebraska has
no citizen who would more honor the
place and none more deserving It
would be a pleasing act to manv West
ern Nebraskan should he be placed in
the list of national delegates
Although it has been but a little
over a week since the launching of
County Clerk E J Wilcoxs campaign
for secretary of state it must be very
highly gratifying to him and his friends
to note tho strength he has already
gained in his quest Voluntary offers of
support have been coming to him daily
from various sections of the state and
tho present indications are that he will
enter the state convention in Lincoln
with a most gratifying following not
only from Southwestern Nebraska
wheie he is popularly known but from
different parts of Nebraska where
friends are enthusiastic in his support
And Southwestern Nebraska has the
reputation of getting what she goes
after in the state convection
Resources of Western Nebraska
The western part of the state found a
vigorous champion Monday night in H
O Barber who read before the Candle
Light club a paper on The Resources
of Western Nebraska Mr Barber de
scribed the conditions that led up to the
collapse of the western counties in the
dry years following 1890 and then told
of the things that have in recent times
contributed to the prosperity and happi
ness of the people living there His be
lief in the future of the western counties
is not based on the old theory that the
rainfall is increasing but upon his
knowledge that the people have learned
to farm to advantage in a comparatively
dry climate and that they have learned
how to use stock raising dairying
poultry raising to their own enrichment

Men Past Sixty in Danger
More than half of mankind over sixty
years of ago suffer frbni kidney and
bladder disorders usually enlargement
of prostrate gland This is both painful
and dangerous and Foleys Kidney Cure
should be taken at the first sign of dan
ger as it corrects irregularities and has
cured many old men of this disease
Rodney Burnett Rockport Mo writes
I suffered with enlarged prostrate
gland and kidney trouble for years and
after taking two bottles of Foleys Kid
ney Cure I feel better than I have for
twenty 3ears although 1 am now 91
years old Sold by A McMillen

The only kind of consump
tion to fear is neglected
consumption
People are learning that con-
sumption is a curable disease
It is neglected consumption
that is so often incurable
At the faintest suspicion of
consumption get a bottle of
Scotts Emulsion and begin
regular doses
The use of Scotts Emulsion
at once has in thousands of
cases turned the balance in
favor of health
Neglected consumption does
not exist where Scotts Emul
sion is
Prompt use of Scotts Emul
sion checks the disease while it
can be checked

PUBLIC FREE LIBRARY NOTES
Lovers of romance will find a book to their
liking in Sir Mortimor tho serial publication o
which has just been completed in Harpors
magazine This latest of Miss Johnstons books
is said to bo the best she has written It may
bo remembered tho Harpers announced the
publication of this work several months before
tho first installment appeared tho authors il
health having delayed its completion
Tho chief merit of Miss Johnstons stories is
that they give us what is probably tho best pic
tures wo can find of the customs of the days in
which the scenes aro laid those most romantic
days of American history This author has a
style that is distinctively her own beautiful in
its way but with a tendency to monotony after
a time Sho is a worshiper of nature and her
descriptions of tho woods and fields of tho sun
shine and storms are among tho best bits of
writing sho does Many of her people are his
torical characters and one wonders how nearly
she approaches tho originals in her portrajals
Of course it is impossible to know though be
ing a romanticist it is her privilege to idealize
and idealism being what tho majority of read
ers desire her books are widely read It is
right and proper that they should be This life
is suiliciently materialistic It does not harm
to dream day dreams This passion for roman
ticism is it a species of Iiypocracj Or is it
prompted by a better motive desire for some
thing worthier aspiration for what seems high
er than an tiling that wo know of on earth
The question is academic discussion of which
will result iu no practical benefit
To return to our book This is tho story of
tho love of au Elizabethan knight Sir Mortimer
for tho lady Dainaris Through a terrible mis
take the hero of the talo is believed to have
been guilty of some dishonorable act Even he
believes that ho is disgraced Ho joins an ex
pedition fitted out for a vojago to the Spanish
Indies There the author leads us through a
series of startling adventures fully equal to
any that befell Stephensons people iu the
courr o of which the nistery shrouding Sir
Moi timers disgrace is revealed 1 he hero re
turns from the voyage cleared of every imputa
tion against his character to find that the lady
has been true to him throughout the dark dajs
and ho is welcomed homo in tho manner usual
in books of this sort
This briefly is tho story It is not unlike a
thousand others that have been w r i t
teu though of its class it is probably very near
ly if not quite as good as tho best much bet
ter certainly than the majority Romanticism
is not the highest form of art and it is doubt
ful oven whether wo can become as interested
in a book of this school as we can in one of the
impressionist or realistic type We soon tire of
looking at purely fanciful pictures Portraits
of real human beings alwajs appeal more
strongly to us Few things attract closer at
tention than a photographers window though
we may know none of the people whose like
nesses aro displajed We do know that they
once lived or perhaps live now and that they
belong to the same species as ourselves Per
haps after all that is what make5 the
historical novel popular the fact that tho
characters were once active in the affairs of hu
man life The fact that their portraits are seen
through a glass that distorts tho features is a
matter of no consequence so long as they were
once real
As the story has just appeared in book form
readers will have to content themselves for a
time with reading it from tho back numbers of
the magazine
