The Tribune F. M. & E. M , KIMMELL , Editors and Publishers. Official City and County Paper. THE Frontier News , printed at Stoclc- ville by L. M. Moores , is probably the latest journalistic venture some of the back townships not being heard from. Br the Omaha Herald we observe that James Harris of this city is an applicant for the receivership and post-office. We are constrained to observe that the num ber of offices will probably be inadequate to the demand if every democat in the community receives two. THE jurymen that returned a verdict of "not guilty" in the Short-Phelan case were probably poltroons. They were afraid of O'Donavan Rossa's assassins. The judge could not conceal his con tempt for them , and summarily relieved them from any further services in his court. Journal. THE London Times not long ago in one of its trenchant leaders said : "Drinking baffles us , confounds us , shames us , and mocks us at every point. It outwits alike the teacher , the man of business , the patriot and the legislator. Every other institution flounders in hopeless difficulties ; the public house holds its triumphant course. " * THE Democracy has wonderful powers of reproduction which have been es pecially noticeable since the ides of March , or thereabout. Why a dyed-in- the-wool bourbon , a few month's since , was as scarce as hen's teeth , and now the woods is full of these "long-haired and woolly" citizens , and nothing short of. a land office or postoffice "take" will satisfy any of them. _ ONE of the bloodiest tragedies , in the history of Lincoln was enacted , Mon day night , in the which two railroad men met their deaths at each other's hands , over a worthless wretch of a woman. The names are Lew 0. Johnson , hus band of the woman , a conductor , and the other Ed. Long , a switchman , with whom Mrs. Long had become enamored. _ GENERAL GRANT is putting in his time bravely in completing his war rem iniscences. The doctors refuse to extend his lease of life more than a few months , at the farthest , but this neither discour ages nor dismays the old hero , and he devotes every day to his work that finds him strong enough to sit at his desk. More than 100,000 orders have been filed for his book without any canvasser or solicitation. It will take him but a few weeks more to finish it , and ifc will without doubt be the most valuable con tribution to the history of the century. State Journal. CORRESPONDENCE. County-Seat Clatter. Judge Ashmore says the marriage li cense market is dull. Mr. and Mrs. Sam Harney are at home again , after a short visit to Denver. Sheriff Welborn brought McCook's two "bunkos" up from the "pen , " last night. Several of the farmers living south of this place are about to effect the organ ization of a Grange. . About 100 men and 175 mules are here on their way south to work on the railroad over in Kansas. A slight racket occurred at a recent meeting of some of the young folks at the court house , no blood spilled. A Mr. Nichols of Maine , has bought several lots in town upon which he in tends building some tenement houses. At the last meeting of the City Dads , the long-looked-for petitions for liquor license was presented. It bore the marks of having had a sharp fight for victory. In fact it must have felt tired , it bears the autographs of thirty-one free holders ( so called ) though we are credibly in formed that a majority of these signers are more used to holding free drinks than realty. This petition is signed by three of the members of the Board , viz : J. S. Phillips , Henry Baxter and J. H. Short. I give their names in justice to the other members of the board. Does it not seem a little out of the usual or der for the majority , or even one of a body , as in this instance , to petition it self. The three gentlemen are certainly rather previous. Indianola , May 12. COUNTY-SEAT. Box Elder Blossoms. Rev. J. B. Piper of Harlan county is now living on , and improving his claim. 'Joseph Stephens is living'on his place in Frontier county , and breaking prairie. Rev. Mann preached to a large con gregation in the church , last Sunday. ' The Superintendent of the Sunday school was detained at home on account of ill health , and the school was con ducted by the assistant superintendent , N. J. Chrysler. We are glad to notice 1 that the Sunday school at this place is j i in a prosperous condition and constantly I growing in interest and numbers. ' * May 13 , 1885. SELONN. \ SCHOOL REPORT. JIu. G. L.
