WEEKLY TRIBUNE
F. M. & . E. M , KIMMELL ,
EDITORS & . PUBLISHERS ,
CONGRESS takes its holiday reces :
and the country will have a rest for :
least two weeks.
II. B. PAYNE , the Standard Oil Con
pany candidate for Senator from Ohi (
is 73 years old and worth $5,000,00 (
His wife is a daughter of Commodor
Perry.
THE agony is over. Carlisle has af
pointed his committees , and the corres
pondcnts who have been doing guess
work for the past two weeks have at
journcd together with Congress unti
after the Holidays.
GERALD MASSEY has sued the Nei
York Times for $5,000 on account of
"funny" editorial in that paper. Tlios
who have read the stuff of the Nci
York funny man hope that Masscy wil
win the suit on general principles.
AUSTIN CORIIIN , President of th
Long Island ( N. Y. ) railroad , ordered :
train out from New York last Saturda ;
to distribute 2,000 turkeys for Christ
mas among employes of the road. 1
most commendable and happy way o
retaining the affection of the employe ;
and enabling them to enjoy this
season.
I NEWS comes from New York tha
Sammy Tilden hung up his stocking1
Christmas night and old Santa Glaus
tried to put a lead pencil into one oi
them , but split the hose. It is alsc
telegraphed that when Mr. Gould goi
up Christmas morning he found a riva
telegraph wire in his stocking , but ii
was barbed and he couldn't get it out.
SHIPMENTS of grain and provisions
from- Chicago eastward last week were
54.500 tons by rail , a quantity enl }
once materially exceeded this half year
As usual when the movement is large ,
the Michigan Central took the lion's
share 12,000 tons. Until Novembei
10 , a weekly shipment of 50,000 tons
by all the roads had not been made.
IT is now certain that extra efforts
will be made during the present Con
gress to abolish polygamy. Senator
Edmunds has a new bill which proposes
to abolish woman suffrage in Utah.
"Women appear to be the bulwark of the
lecherous institution in that territory.
They vote as their masters dictate , and
the result is Mormons fill all the offices
and make all the territorial laws.
THE most dangerous evil of the times
TJ
is the mania for gambling in stocks or
futures in grain and provisions , which
corrodes the conscience , frenzies the
brain and petrifies the hearts of the men
aud women who constitute the specula
tors of "Wall and State streets. This is
an eminently respectable curse which
attacks all classes. It haunts the par
lor as well as the barroom , roosts over
the doors of our strongest banks , occu
pies a front seat and ofttimes the pul
pit at church , and makes paupers and
thieves out of the most gifted and
trusted in the community. It is recog
nized as a legitimate occupation , and
the man engaged in it loses neither
caste nor his seat at the communion ta
ble , as long as he succeeds.
IGNORANCE , vice aud crime are the
legitimate results of great poverty , and
nearly all the poverty of the world is
attributable directly to the exorbitant
tribute which , under our present indus
trial system , the producer is obliged to
pay to the non-producer. To reduce the
sum total of crime to a minimum , we
must remove the cau&e , and the cause
can only be removed by the application
of the Divine Law , in the spirit as well
as in the letter , to all our dealings with
questions which pertain to the produc
tion and distribution of wealth. All
human laws and regulations by which
the wealth created by one is transferred
to another without a full equivalent ,
are in direct violation of the Law of
God. This is a question which deserves
the careful consideration of all who
profess to be followers of the "meek
and lowly. " Sacramento Equity.
RED WILLOW COUNTY.
We take pleasure in quoting the r
ports made by the following gentletm
concerning their success as farmers an
stock raisers in this county. The *
gentlemen all came into this count
with but limited capital , ranging froi
$900 to the insignificant sum of $10.0 !
and each and all of them are now TCI
comfortably fixed ; own their land , con
ibrtablc homes , have cattle , and rnis
good crops. This , of course , is but
partial report , and there are others wh
have been equally as successful. Thei
is plenty of land in this county , sul
jecl to homestead , pre-emption or tiu
ber-culture entry , and it behoves a
those who want to be owners of 16
acres of land by living on and cultival
ing the same to make arrangement
early , as there will be an immense in
flux of people into this county in tli
spring , and within a twelve-month go\
eminent land subject to entry will b
scarce.
It may be that , as the Lincoln Jout
nal says , this is a poor country for th
farmer , but the facts it seems to us ar
to the contrary : Mr. Stilgebouor rais
ed 2700 bushels of corn on 90 acres , o
30 of an average. Blr. Duckworth rais
ed 6400 bushels on 160 acres , or ni
average of 40. We do not advise farm
ing solely and alone , but rather tha
stock raising on a small scale be con
ducted in connection with tilling tlu
soil. Which we think will more preva
lent in the valley as it becomes mor <
settled , and its advantages see. This is t
grand country for cattle , horses , pigs
or poultry , aud every farmer shoult
have a few of each. This country ha ;
never be m tilled in earnest , but rathei
in a half-way style ; but those who wenl
at the matter in earnest last spring
garnered fair crops.
I came from Lee county , Illinois , in
March , 1875 , and had when 1 came
$150. I own 320 acres of land , esti
mated at $10 an acre , which is a Ion
estimate. I have made about $3,000 ,
1 raised 20 acres of sod corn , and cut
for fodder. I also raised oats , potatoes ,
and other garden vegetables to the
amount of $268. If there is anything
in this statement worth publishing you
can use it. lied Willow county is a
good county. C. L. NETTLETON ,
McCook , Red Willow Co. , Neb.
I send you my statement showing
how it will pay to farm in Red Willow
count } ' . I came from Ashtabula coun
ty , Ohio , in 1866. I had about $50
when I came to Nebraska. I am now
worth about $4,000 , including land ,
cattle , and horses , nearly all made in
Red Willow county in last four years.
I raised this year 8 acres of corn , 320
bushels , worth 50 cents per bushel ;
millet , 5 acres , 15 tons , $3 per ton ;
oats , 4 acres , 120 bushels ; potatoes ,
50 bushels ; sugar cane , 5 tons , and a
good supply of vegetables.
J. A. TAYLOR ,
Red Willow , Red Willow Co. , Neb.
I take pleasure in sending you a
statement of my success at farming in
one of the most extreme counties in
Nebraska. I came from Jackson coun
ty , Illinois , in 1868- and was worth
10.35 when I came to Red Willow
county. I am worth $10,000 , and have
made it all in this county within the
last five years , except one yoke of cat
tle and $70 in money. I raised this
pear , 1883 : Wheat , 27 acres , 43'2
bushels , worth 70 cents per bushel ;
sorn , 160 acres , 6,400 bushels , worth
30 cents per bushel ; rye , 36 acres ,
1,080 bushels , worth 50 cents per bush-
2 ! . Plenty of vegetables for home use.
I send you sample of my corn.
B. B. DUCKWORTH ,
Danbury , Red Willow Co. , Neb.
I devote my time to raising vegeta-
jles for the market , and do not farm
jxtensively. I raise no grain. I came
from Mason county , Kentucky , in 1872 ,
md had when I came , $400. I have
iiade $3,100 , consisting of land , cattle ,
lorses , and farm implements. I raised
vegetables as follows : Turnips , one-
iburth acre , 25 bushels , worth 50c. per
mshel ; potatoes , acre , 100 bushels ,
vorth 50c. per bushel ; onions , 4 ; acre ,
100 bushelsworth , $1 per bushel ; beets ,
[ acre , 3 tons per acre ; sweet potatoes ,
[ acre , 16 bushels , worth $2 per bushel ;

CHARLES A. HOTGE ,

I came from Shelby county , Illinoi :
in March , 1875 , and settled in Re
Willow county , Nebraska. I had abet
$900. I now am worth about $3,00 (
and have raised the following crop thi
year : Wheat , 10 acres , 300 buchoh
worth $300 ; corn , 90 acres , 2,700 bus !

A WOMAN in Texas , bearing the prom
ising name of Mrs. Christian , has bee
arrested on suspicion of poisoning he
affinity. His name was Brunner , and h
is said to have been the seventh victin
of fatal decoctions prepared by th
hands of the perfidious dame. It seem
to have been her habit to poison he
lovers when she tired of them , as it wa
not so unpleasant as the usual seem
upon desertion. She was out of lucl
this time , and has been arrested fo
Bruoner's taking off. The other dc
spatclices having been lawyers ant
newspaper men , of no special value t <

KANSAS CITY , the headquarters oi
Frank James , would not allow the Sul
livan slugging combination to give ai :
exhibition within its limits. The Kan
sas City Journal is indignant at the
action of the police in barring Sullivan
out. The Journal says : { 'lt is possible
that if certain officers could have shared
the piofits of the entertainment there
would have been no interference. The
cloak of virtue which envelops this citj
is getting altogether too heavy. * *
* Bunco steerers and confidence men
may run riot in the city , but a sparring
exhibition can never be allowed. It is
too horrible to think of ! "
RED WILLOW COUNTY possesses a
split-haired dude , a feeble-minded girl
and a matrimonial bureau. There are
necessary evils in the trial of civiliza
tion. The girl was booked for marriage
with a farmer after scarcely half an
hour's acquaintance , but while the plow
boy was skirmishing for a permit the
dude stepped in , paralyzed the girl's
heartstrings and took her to his palpi
tating shirt front. The sod corned
youth is out a wife and $2.25 , but the
license will hold for another day Bee.
