F. M.&E. M. KIMMELL , Editors and Publishers. THEORETICALLY Cleveland is great in the matter of veracity , but practical ly he is very sho'rt. It was easy enough , perhaps , for Grover to telegraph , "Tell the truth. " but it seems to be a difficult thing indeed for him to practice the virtue. WK take great pleasure indeed in noting the strong sentiment existing fa vorable to Uro. A. E. Powers of the Frontier County Faber for representa tive to Succeed W. Z. Taylor. Powers is a man of honor , character and of ca pability , and is withal just such a man as THE TRIBUNE would be happy to . sen. fill the place. THE flourishing little city of Creston seems to be the banner prohibition city of Iowa. Prohibition is prohibiting there and the business men claim that they are enjoying such prosperity as that city has never seen. They are now receiving into their coffers , the § 300- , 000 which the saloon men have hereto fore annually gathered into their pock ets , and for which the city received $12- 000 license. JAKE STEINMETZ of the SuUon Dem ocrat exhorts the bourbon boys to htand by the President. Jake has decided to stand by Grover until the President has appointed'some one else to the position at the government rack that Jake's soul hankers after , but in tins event , Jake will be found with the disappointeddis- , grunttlcd dems , kicking like a veritable /bar steer. Disappointment has boon the bourbon's heritage for the past 25 years , and the prolonged agony has been too much for his nerves. A little disappointment now serves to make him frantic. BOX ELDER BLOSSOMS. o The United Brethren people are still holding meetings in the church , and we are glad to state , with/success. A new school district has been form ed , taking in Box Elder. Another chance for somebody to run for office. b Sunday School was dismissed , last Sunday , on account of the funeral ser vices of Mr. Turner which were held in the church. Among the many friends who came from the Lower Willow to attend the fu neral of Mr. Turner , on Sunday , we no ticed Squire Buck and family , also II. F. Looniis and Wm. Crockford with their families. Mr. Tumor of whom we made men- tionlast , week , died on Fridaythe 12th inst. The last sad rites were performed on Sunday. Kev. Allen Bartley of York conducted the services and preaching a very impressive sermon. That" the de ceased had a very large circle of friends was shown by the immense procession that followed the remains to the grave. In the death of Mr. Turner the commu nity loses an honored and respected citizen and a kind neighbor. The church of which he was a member an earnest worker , a consistent Christian. The wile and two little ones who are left to mourn a kind husband and a loving father. They have the sympathy of their many friends. March 1G , 1S8G. SELONN. Mrs.'MacoyatG. A. R. Hall. A large and appreciative audience as sembled at the ( jr. A. II. Hall last night. The Hall was comfortable filled , and the audience were not disappointed in their expectations ; nor was the reputation of Mrs. Macoy as an elocutionist dimmed in the least by comparison with any for mer effort. Words when placed in cold type , utterly fail to convey to the mind the inimitable grace and magnetism , dis played by this lady when upon the stage or rostrum. Her recitations to be ap preciated must be * heard ; and the mag netism of her voice and presence felt. The 1 imes is pleased to note the fact that the entertainment was a financial successand the lady acquitted herself- admirably. Mrs. Macoy will always find a warm welcome from the G. A.
