WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 13, 1892.
ANOTHER YEAR,
With last week's issue The Tri

in its journey through life, and this
week enters its cightn year in a
condition satisfactory to the pub
lisher. While The Tribuse has

an evidence that the paper is appre
ciated by the public.
To make The Tribune a better
local paper a larger corps of country
correspondents is needed, and we
trust this want will be supplied by
some of those under whose eye this
notice comes.
The educational souvenir sent
out a week or so ago by the Lincoln
State Journal is the finest piece of
work .that has come under our
notice for several years. There is
scarcely a doubt but that Lincoln is
destined to become one of the seats
of learning in the great and grow
ing west.
It is highly evident that the
editor of the Eralacked information
when he wrote his article on the
money circulation in Lincoln
county, a3 per the correction made
by cashier Goozee of the North
Platte National Bank in last week's
Telegraph. The information has
been volunteered The Tuibuke that
the available cash of the three
North Platte banks does not fall
short of $75,000. .
There was further disappoint
ment Monday among democrats
who expected to see the supreme
court make Boyd governor of Ne
braska at once. The supreme
court room at Washington was
again crowded with people eager to
listen to the decision which the
chief justice was expected to ren
der, but no decision was forthcom
ing and for one week more, at least,
the somewhat celebrated case re
mains in statu quo.
Congressman Scott, of Illinois,
will introduce a bill m congress
repealing a time-worn act which
permits the government to furnish
the public with printed envelopes,
of which there were used last vear
nearly three hundred million. This
is a step which should have been
taken long aero, as Uncle Sam has
no right to enter into competition
ii. . l i rni
with cne country print shod, xuis
matter should receive the attention
of the newspaper men at their meet
ing in Fremont nest week.
It is now given out that a meet
ing of representative democrats from
all over the country was held at
Washington the other da' and the
decision reached was that no stone
which would aid in the election of
Hill to the presidency should be left
unturned. If shrewd and dishonest
political work counts, David will
receive the nomination, but bis
election is another thing. There
are many democrats in this country
who do not endorse Hill's methods
of manipulating politics.
A record of the rainfall of west
ern Kansas for the past twenty-four
years, shows that the rains of the
past twelve years have been two
inches per annum heavier than .the
proceeding twelve years. We be
lieve the records of the North Platte
signal office make a showing of this
kind, but the increase per annum is
not quite as heavy as down in Kan
sas. When the prairies of western
Nebraska become more largety
cultivated it is not likely we will
need the assistance of the rain producers.
Congressman Bryan, of the First
district, having made quite a reso
lute kick on the government paing
the charges of transporting our
contributions to the famine stricken
people of Russia, will no doubt be
pleased to learn that the farmers of
Nebraska have donated a whole
train load of corn to the Russians,
and that a Nebraska railroad
manager has agreed to transport
the same to Chicago free of charge.
It is hardly likely Mr. Bryan voiced
his constituents when he made his
ldck.
"The farmers of Cliff precinct,"
says a correspondent of the Broken
Bow Leader, "are holding their
breath and waiting with patience to
hear of Hon. 0. M. Kem introduc
ing a bill against dealing in future
options in farm products, which
-would beat all government mort
gage schemes yet talked of, or sub
treasury plans of visionary loud
mouthed reformers for revenue only.
Look out for breakers next fall.
The farmers are getting their eyes
open. Tbey find their .state aud
county tax on the increase and none
of the reforms promised realized,
while the members of our last legis
lature are riding round the state
with railroad passes sticking out of
their pockets. When will such law
makers ever give us needed reform ?"

CHARITY at HOME. '
Editor Tribune: It is very
laudable in our people to contribute
aid to the perishing in the famine
districts of Russia. It also merits
praise that the necessary sums have
been raised to maintain the T. M.;
C. A. club rooms, but it is of more
paramount importance that the few
needy ones at home be properly
cared for first. That there is no
adequate provision made for the
poor in this town and county may
be easily ascertained without any
deep inquiry. It is true that the
percentage of needy in North Platte
is much smaller than in the east;
and that it would be difficult to a
great many to locate any cases of
want and poverty, but there have
been and are at this present time
individuals and families that the
law of humanity and the rules of
decency require to be fed, housed
and clothed as becomes the dignity
of a civilized community.
It is the traditional usage to have
a county poor farm in which to
domicile the aged, feeble, crippled,
aud otherwise helpless and erring
individuals outcast and lost to
society through poverty. For des
titute families humanity has dictated
that they are to be looked after by
a benevolent ofiicer, and provided
with comfortable shelter, with fuel,
clothes and provisions. In other
places there is little work for aid
societies and relief corps to do; thp
city looks after its poor, pays rent,
grocery, fuel and clothing bills.
How can thev do otherwise than
establish a regular and permanent
system. No community can avoid
taking care of its poor without
attaching to itself enduring infamy.
Whv not go about it systemati
cally and humanely here in North
Platte where the wealth and pros
perity of the people is comparative
ly phenomenal, and where the cases
of want are jnusually rare.
Our present lack of system and
humanity would disgrace the old
English parish style under which
the famished Oliver Twist entreated
for more porridge.
For instance, I am informed that
if any person of family, man or
woman, becoming sick or disabled
applies for help, can have such relief
as the authorities see fit to give
them on condition that they relin
quish any property they may possess
to the county. It they have a small
homestead, or a team, or a cow the
officials must have a right to confis
cate such propert.
This custom has been applied to
individuals too old to care for them
selves, and who become perpetual
charges on the county, and is just
and right in such cases, but it can
not be applied to families without
outraging both law and justice.
It appears incredible that any
man or woman should be compelled
to sign away the roof from above
their childrens heads for a little
temporary relief.
To prove such demands are made
on the destitute there is a case in
point at this moment of a man
crippled by rheumatism, lacking
the means to supply any of his
wants, and having five small child
ren dependent on him. Being the
possessor of a team which could not
be sold without a sacrifice of half
its value he was informed that he
would be furnished with provisions
if he would give up his team to
confiscation.
As a business
would be a choice
county officials, as.
doubtedless be able
fesv weeks. If he
and forty-five days
live through all right.
This puts county charity in the
shape of a wolf more eager to
devour than that other wolf of
want.
In another case of destitution
which occurred a short time ago the
county furnished a nurse for one
week, but nothing more. The
Presbyterian church members were
obliged to donate provisions, cloth
ing, continued nursing, and all, for
the county refused and would have
permitted the whole family to have
died from actual starvation. Not
long since a poor widow was re
ported to have died of measles, but
it is notorious that she died from
destitution and neglect. She died
uncared for, and unprovided, in a
condition sickening to behold. Nor
is this the only case where death
has resulted from neglect.
The county has at present a few
helpless charges, three or four, I
think, but it seems to be a wasting
grief to the officials, and they will
not assist any more for fear of en
couraging this form of vice.
Some time ago the writer went
to the county physician for a man
in the agonies of death, and asked
for alcohol to chafe his cramping
limbs with, which was according to
this same medical man's prescrip
tion, and although he was supposed
to be supplying medicines he replied
that '"they were not running a free
dispensary."
The writer then assayed to lav in
a supply of funeral provisions for
the poor widow, and got a county
order on a grocery for two cans of
cove oysters. This inhumanity
w Inch has resulted in much suffering
does not lessen the taxes appreciably.
With the reformation of the bal
lot system we should also reform
the supervision of the poor, abolish
the English parish system, elimi
nate the stuffed and comfortable
beadle service, and substitute men
of advanced American ideas, men
who have a record for liberality and
benevolence. Those who are re
sponsible for the past maladminis
tration are very good men, but their
ideas are too narrow, and too much
confined by areverence for European
customs, which put in practice here
will result in nothing but abuses
and disgrace.
If there is no reform made let
the sinecure of such costly and
superfluous offices cease, and their
functions be turned over to the
churches and voluntary contribu
tions. Very truly,
Mechanic.

E. Vanderventer and Robert
Stevenson, of Mound city, Kansas,
recently visited Dan Haskell's ranch
near Miildale and bought twenty-
four head of horses for which they
gave in payment notes tp the
amount of 2,000, secured hy mort
gage on 200 acres of land in the
Missouri valley. The horses were
taken to Broken Bow and sold to
the notorious Hi Caswell, who
shipped them to New York and sold
them to one James Crawford. The
freight not being paid at York, a
liveryman of that city paid the same
and held the horses as security. Mr.
Haskell subsequently discovered
that the land upon which he held a
mortgage was a part of the bottom
of the Missouri river, and hurrying
to York Jie found most of the horses
still in the possession of the livery
man. The case was put into the
hands of ex-sheriff Pen n, who suc
ceeded in arresting Stephenson at
York. Vanderventer and Caswell
have left for parts unknown. There
is reason to believe that these
gentlemen are a part of a gang of
horse thieves which has been opera
ting in this county for some time,
and it is probable that the trial of
Stephenson who is now in jail at
Broken Bow, may bring out some
interesting developments. Callaway

twine business in this county: "We

hemp, 700 acres in 18S92 both sea

hands."
A. F. Streitz the druggist,, gives
ten reasons why Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is the bgsfc,
-1. It will cure a saro'colifhi
less time than any otherntreatment.
2. It does not suppress a cough
or cold: but loosens andr relieves it.
3. It relieves the lungs, which is
of great importance in., treating a
cold.
4. It is the only remedy that
will cause the expulsion of mucus
from the air cells of the lungs.
5. It renders the mucps less tena
cious and easier to expectorate.
G. If freely used as soon as the
first symptoms appear, it will cure.
a severe cold in a single day.
7. It will prevent croup and
avert all danger and anxiety, arising
from that dreaded disease.
8. It has cured thousands of
cases of croup, and. careful inquiry
fails to discover a single case in
which it has ever failed.- ''
9. It does not contain opium,
chloroform, nor an' other 'injurious
substance. There is not the least
danger in giving it to children.

Royal Baking Powder
Has no Equal.
The Royal Baking Powder will make sweeter, lighter, finer-flavored
and more wholesome bread, biscuit and cake than any other leavening
agent. It is of higher strength, and therefore goes further in work and1
is more economical. All government and scientific tests go to show
this. Royal Baking Powder as a leavening agent is absolutely without
an equal.
Rush Medical College, Chicago.
"As the result of my tests I find the Royal
Baking Powder superior to all the others in every
respect It is entirely free from all adulteration
and unwholesome impurity, and in baking it
gives off a greater volume of leavening gas than
any other powder. It is therefore not only the , ' ;
purest but also the strongest powder with which v
I am acquainted. - '?''1"
" Walter S. Haines, M. D.," Prof, of Chemistry.
Chicago College of Pharmacy.
"The Royal Baking Powder, which tests the highest
in strength, is free from lime, alum, lime phosphates or
other adulterations. Its superlative purity, the entire
wholesomeness of its ingredients, the scientific manner
in which they are combined, together with its much
greater strength, make the Royal unquestionably supe
rior to any other baking powder.
