IW By F. M. K1MMELL. THE legislative muaee closed Saturday with the usual disgrace ful and childish scenes. SENATOR EDMUNDS of Vermont has astonished the nation by act ually resigning his office. Un precedented ! RECIPROCITY has redeemed Rhode Island. On that platform the republicans of "Little Rhody" have achieved a signal victory in the late election. FIFTEEN thousand dollars worth of Stratton property , went up in smoke , Monday moriug of last week. C. B. Diehl , E. R. Holmes and J. W. Buruey are the un fortunates. THERE are many features of the "Kangaroo System" to warrant the statement that it is an all-around- corker ; and it will meet with wid est popular approval. All hail the Australian ballot. THE Dundy County Democrat has renounced the world , the flesh and the devil , and joined the Al liance. In order to make its sting more pointed , The Benkelman Bee will be its caustic caption. IT is shown by the annual re port of the Iowa railway commis sioners that the net increase of earnings for 1890 over 1891 is § 2,169,850. Six railroads in the state were in the hands of receiv ers in 1888 , five in 1889 , and one in 1890. This is an encouraging showing and denotes that the Iowa railroads are making money. Only sixty-six miles of new track were built in the state during the year. It is a significant fact that the lull in railroad construction in Iowa lias been attended with an increase of business for the lines now in operation. Much of the loss which the railroads have suffered has been due to an unwise policy of extension and the multiplication of rival lines without any reason able hope of remunerative traffic. "Where this mistake has been avoided and the railroads have limited construction to the legit imate needs of the public they have realized a handsome return on their investments. The people in many parts of the West have paid out a great deal of money for the support of superfluous railroads , which are almost as damaging to a community as inadequate facilities for transportation. Before the Three Judges. The celebrated case of William J. McGillin vs. The Kit Carter Cattle Company et al. has come to an end in this district court , Judge Field giving his decision yester day afternoon , The court finds in favor of the plaintiff , "William J. McGillin ; that the said plaintiff is the owner of the funds and notes % in the hands of the defendants , the Union Savings bank ; that the de fendant , Charles "W. Gould , has a first lien upon the property by vir tue of his chattel mortgage ; that there is due Gould the sum of § 16,729.37 ; that the plaintiff is not liable herein as a stockholder of the Harlan Cattle company Decree that the Union Savings bank pay over to Gould the sum of $8,314.77 , being the cash in its hands , the same to be applied up on the notes of the plaintiff to said defendant. It is furthered order ed that the said Union Savings bank turn over to said Gould the notes now in its hands , said notes to be speedily collected and appli ed to the payment of the notes of the plaintiff , and after said notes are paid in full and notes and moneys held by said Gould shall be turued.back to the plaintiff ; that the defendant , the Kit Carter Car ter Cattle company be perpetually enjoined from in any way preceed- ing against the funds herein in con troversy. This case lasted eight days and every inch of the ground was stub bornly contested. It involves a .Very large amount of property. In the broil were represented the Kit Carter Cattle company of Texas , the Harlan Cattle company of Stratton , W. J. McGillin & Co. , 'E. M. McGillin & Co. "Wednes day's Journal. BARTLEY NOTES. 0. L. Campbell was in Hartley on Monday. Owing to court last week the items did not materialize. Ex-Postmaster Fidlcr was a McCook visitor on Saturday. Banker Frost had three law suite be fore Justice Hodgkin , this week. Miss Nellie Carlisle of Crete was visiting Hartley friends , this week. J. H. Stephens has been busy deliver ing nursery stock along'tbe valley , this week. It is amusing to see M. N. Eskcy flop around with a TRIBUNE in his efforts to deny the truth. Commissioner HoJgkin was called to McCook on Monday night , returning Tuesday morning. 0. L. Campbell and Cora Mann wore escorted to the train , Monday night , by the Hartley Glee Club. C. W. Buck was home , several days this week , visiting Hartley friends , after which he returned to the capital city. Hartley was quite well represented on the court docket at the last term of district court. Very much to the sorrow row of some. Samuel Blackfan , greeting : Veter inary surgeons say that tincture of aconite will cure belly-ache in mules and jackasses. Try it. All disparaging remarks concerning the school board are hereby recalled and apologized for with abject humiliation. It is one of the noblest institutions of the age. < Aftei a prolonged howl and almost nightly lobbying in the Hartley bank over the Vickrey vs. Seeley case it only took the jury a very few minutes to bring in a verdict of "not guilty. " The county pays it all. The village aldermen at their regu lar meeting on Monday night appropri ated $20 to pay Rufus Moses Snavely , attorney fee in the case of the state vs. B. . W. Seeley. This was a state case and the very men who elected the coun ty attorney are guilty of said charge. This was a personal matter and the vil lage not a party in the case The men that stole the $20 are as guilty as the one who stole the wheat. We have been informed by a person who saw the petition that there is a pe tition ( but not very largely circulated ) for the removal of Postmaster Clark. The ' 'thing" stated that the appoint ment was secured through fraud , that Clark is not a republican , and that the republican party was split on account of Clark and others , and further that one W. C. Lathrop is now and always has been a stalwart republican and is richly deserving of the post office ap pointment. However , the petition died a natural death as only three , names were on it. Mr. Lathrop is postmaster de functo. SOUTH SIDE SAUCE. \V. T. Stone and C. H. Jacobs were down to Indianola the past week. Pat. Walsh is putting up a very large windmill on his South Side farm for the purpose of irrigation. George Schwerdt and eldest son are over on the Platte , and the younger boys have been looking after the stock durinir the storms. Some report considerable loss of stock during the unprecedented heavy snow storm of the past week , but there is nothing like the loss one would expect considering the scarcety of feed in the country. It is to be hoped the snow and rain this spring , have completely and effect ually put a damper on our wide spread prairie fires. In a careful observation extending over a period of years we have almost invariably found that when there was a fire burning nearly all the prairie a partial or nearly total failure of crops followed. "How Is It Joe. " INDIANOLA , March 26th , 1891. EDITOR TRIBUNE 1 see that Joe Goggles , in a letter of recent date , in forms your readers that the bondsmen of Mr. Boot have been sued to make up the deficiency of that gentleman , or for some other purpose known only to Joe. I will inform your readers that no one but Joe knows anything of this as the report of the auditors of the Co operative Association clearing Mr. Boot of all blame was published in the Courier. I must conclude that either Joe does not read his home paper or else he told what he knew to be untrue , and as he has always tried to misrep resent the grange and grangers I con- lude the latter is the case.

No city store is without it. The great grocers of the country handle no other scouring soap because the best housekeepers will not use cheap imitations which are liable to do damage far greater than the little saving in cost. If your store keeper does not keep SAPOLIO tell him to wake up. If he oifers you something else when you ask for SAPOLIO tell him to be wise and deal in genuine goods. It pays to have the best. W. C.
