Congress unexpectedly closed yester
day after agreeing ou some measures
which threatened to lengthen the ses
sion or make an extraordinary session
necessary
County Clerk Wilcox spent the
close of last week out over the district
in his behalf Hastings Grand Island
and other salient points were visited and
much encouragement received His
candidacy is being well received wherever
t he goes or his friends suggest his name
One of the greatest annoyances and
troubles of the states educational de
partment are the itinerant school book
agents who are ever excessively and
perniciously active over the state Many
of these peregrinating peddlers are
fakirs and the number of school direct
ors victimized by them is somewhat
startling as well as are the methods
employed frequently coarse and sim
ple School directors and school boards
may well be constantly on guard against
these individuals The Tribune is
credibly informed that some irregular
work is now being done in this section
of the stater
Does a full fare railroad ticket expire
by limitation or is it valid until traveled
out This question came before the
Pennsylvania court in a suit some time
ago brought against the Erie railroad
for damages Six years ago a woman
bought a round trip ticket for a certain
station and return for which she paid 1
She did not use the return part of the
ticket until recently The conductor
refused to accept the ticket and put her
off the train She sued and recovered
82000 The case was carried to the
United States court and the court below
affirmed although since the ticket was
bought the railroad changed hands even
its name The court holds that the
purchaser of the ticket paid regular fare
for a ride for the distance called for by
the ticket and was entitled to the ride
at her own convenience
We would be very glad to impress upon
our brothers of the country about the
great dangers that lie in wait for the
multitude of young girls that are flock
ing to St Louis and notably at this time
The country press is a tremendous power
for good and if they could keep this
matter before their readers constantly
warning as to the open door to ruin
many might be saved who else were lost

The gateway to St Louis is the great
union depot which is beset with a thous
and snares for unwary feot Any young
girl who comes through tho gate into the
midway is at once spotted and if it bo
possible the snare will be so spreqd in
her path that she cannot escape No
girJ should come unless absolutely cer
tain as to her course The many tempt
ing advertisements are often mere baits
for ignorance and innocence And if
she comes to tho city ready to enter the
first carriago whose driver proposes to
take her to a good cheap boarding place
or to accept the first position offered
where no experience is required she
may as well bid adieu to innocence and
hope when she leaves her home As a
matter of course the young man is al
most equally exposed as far as moral or
even physical safety is concerned If
the country papers will only keep these
things before the readers they will serve

tive Norris who returned to Washington
the other day from a brief visit to his
district in Nebraska reports that the
republicans in tho Fifth district have
everything lined up for a sweeping vic
tory in the fall elections Mr Norris
visit was occasioned by pressing business
at MeCook
Mr Norris states that the republican
complexion of the Fifth district is deep
ening The Fifth it will be remember
ed several years ago was the stronghold
of populism and for a number of years
the majority of voters in that section of
the state seemed inseparably wedded to
the populistic idea in politics
Populism is a thing of the past in the
Fifth district said Mr Norris and all
indications In that part of the state
point to republican victory next Novem

Mr Norris will be detained here about
a week following the adjournment of the
present session He has a large amount
of work for his constituents before the

PUBLIC FREE LIBRARY NOTES
A little story that will appeal to all
who have lived in the west and are fa
miliar with the life here is A Wagner
Matinee found in the March number of
Everybodys magazine Tho story is of
especial interest to us in this vicinity
because the scene is laid in Red Willow
county Nebraska although so far as
that is concerned there is nothing dis
tinctively local about it and the scene
might haye been laid in any other por
tion cf the agricultural west Tho au
thors name Willa Sibert Cather is one
not known in this locality It would be
interesting to know whether she has
lived here at any time in the past or
whether she selected the name by
chance
The story is similar to one that might
be told by many a pioneer The heroine
is a cultured New England woman one
who had enjoyed superior opportunities
for acquiring a musical education but
who had soon after her marriage left
her old home and come to live on the
prairies of Red Willow county where
for years she lived the slaves life to
which the wives of the western farmer
have become accustomod Returning
to Boston after an absence of several
years to secure her share of some prop
erty that had been left her by a relative
who had died she was taken to a con
cert at which the old scores that in her
younger days she knew so well were
played At first her sensibilities seemed
to have become immune to the charm
and fascination of music but before the
concert was ended her dormant faculties
reasserted themselves and her capacity
for appreciation was as great as it had
ever been
The possibilities in such a theme are
apparent and the author has utilized
them to advantage Her treatment of
the subject is skillful The story is un
usually meritorious Tho test of worth
in fiction is its realism and no resident
of Nebraska can read this story without
being struck by its fidelity to the facts
Even in its superficial details the de
scriptions are accurate even to the
dish cloths hanging on the ash trees be
fore the cabin door
