THE devil get the political
schemers , or wire .pullers , as they
are commonly called.
AN amendment to the state con
stitution will be voted on this fall
providing for the election of three
railroad commissioners by direct
vote of the people.
THE contest for chairmanship
of the Minneapolis convention is
likely to be between J. Sloat Fas-
sett , of New York , and John J.
Ingalls , of Kansas , so says the
Lincoln Call.
JERRY SIMPSON has written a
letter to his constituents declaring
that he cannot afford to be their
congressman another term as he
can make more money lecturing
than he can as a statesman.
THE Republican national con
vention is going to nominate the
strongest and best candidate , after
careful review and consideration
of all the conditions up to the period -
riod < of its assembling. It will be
perfectly free to do that , thanks to
the wisdom of the masses of the
party who have chosen the dele
gates.
THE STRATTON HERALD figures
that there are 400 alliance farmers
in Hitchcock county , which is
sparsely settled. Estimating the
same number for each county in
the state , the campaign fund which
the independent central committee
proposes to raise by donations of
the proceeds of one aero by each
farmer would amount to $356,000
if all contributed. There is food
for several large-sized thoughts in
circulation. State Journal.
THE Edison-Thompson-Houston
trust , which had an ele-
j
gant job up on lighting the World's
fair grounds and buildings , has
been knocked out of the ring by
the Westinghouse compaur , which
will get the contract. at § 81,000
less than the trust bid. The "West
inghouse bid is 3399,000 , and in
credulous as it may seem , these
figures are $1.350,000 less than the
trust wanted for the work when it
thought that the exposition was in
its power.
THE sixteen delegates from Ne
braska to the national republican
convention will find their enter
tainment in Minneapolis pretty ex
pressive , says the Lincoln Call.
For a headquarters room and ten
sleeping apartments secured at the
Nicolett house , somebody will put
up $75 per day and $4 a day per
liead for each person in the party.
It would seem to be rather an ex
pensive luxury to be a delegate ,
Tout these things occur but once in
four vears.
THE BEATRICE board of trade
has appointed a committee to can
vass the subject among farmers
and arrange for a county conven
tion to devise ways and means to
secure the much needed reform.
Red Willow county should not be
behind in this matter. It is a
patent fact that a large annual
-road tax is frittered away , giving
us no substantial improvement in
the condition of our roads. Farm
ers , more than any other class , are
interested in having good roads ,
for they use them most. Let the
movement be started here and
rnu&li benefit may be secured.
THE Union Pacific railroad is
out of politics. But John AI.
Thurston , who is drawing $1,000
a month out of the Union Pacific
treasury , spends two-thirds of his
time in political junketing tours
and star-chamber conferences with
the combine of political malcon
tents who are trying by fair means
or foul to defeat Harrison for re-
nomination. Yes , the Union Pacific -
cific is out of politics , but we will
a nickel against a brass bui ,
vager that Thurston would not be
Harrison at
against
ringing
SJnseofthe Union Pacific
Gould's pennission.
THE TRIBUNE has urged the
necessity of filling up all the unoc
cupied lands of Ked Willlow coun
ty with prosperous farmers. Ev
ery acre of Ked "Willow county's
land should be in cultivation. Its
product would be immense and
M ould pay the producer largely ,
taking one year with another. It
is peculiarly gratifying to note
that renewed activity in farm lands
is to be seen every day. Scores of
new farmers have settled through
out the county during the past
ninety days. They came from the
full and overflowing portions of
the east , and are charmed with the
advantages offered. There ie no
fairer land under the sun than
here in lied Willow county. Situ
ated in the heart of fertility , it is
destined to be the commercial
queen of this section of the state ,
whose crown and sceptre are held
by the sturdy yeomanry who have
reclaimed it from the virgin soil ,
and dotted it with peaceful homes.
To the men who are looking for
homes Ked Willow county pre
sents greater and more varied at
tractions than can be found else
where in the state.
Kich soil , plenty of water , rail
road facilities , schools , churches ,
good citizens , and a delightful cli
mate are environments which are
greatly to be desired by all-and ,
which stand out as enduring monuments
ments to point the home seeker to
this eldorado of southwestern Ne
braska.
Columns might be written de
scribing the composition of the
soil , the salubrity of the climate
and the healthfulness of the people ,
yet the written words pale into in
significance when one "views this
landscape o'er , " and drinks in the
richness and beauties of the sur
roundings.
This activity should extend un
til every section , or fraction there
of , is brought under the influence
of the husbandman , and then the
wealth and influence of the county
Avill be in their proper sphere , and
adequate justice reached.
THE manufacturers of the differ
ent cities of Nebraska have united
in getting up an exposition to be
held in Omaha , June llth to 22.
They will place on exhibit the raw
material in the various stages of
manufacture and the nnisnecl pro
ducts. Where practicable , they
will also carry on the operations
of manufacturing in the presence
of visitors. There will be in oper
ation a complete shoe factory , soap
factory , overall factory , shirt fact
ory , barb wire factory , broom fact
ory , tin can factoiy , etc. The ma
chinery used in these various
branches of manufacture will be
placed in position and several hun
dred factory hands will be em
ployed in operating .them. It will
be the first exposition of the kind
ever attempted to be held in the
state and the finest industrial dis
play ever held in the west. Com
ing at the same time as the Inter
state Competitive Drill , which is
expected to bring 25,000 strangers
into the city , from all parts of the
country , such a display is calcu
lated to advertise Nebraska far
and wide , and attract the attention
of manufacturers who are seeking
for a new location.
THE report of the general Meth
odist Espicopal conference com
mittee on temperance will give
forth no uncertain sound in regard
to the saloon question. It will ar
ray the united sentiment of the
church against the rum power , and
will take the position that the
manufacture and sale of intoxicat
ing liquors cannot be leaglized
without sin. The Methodist church
has always been the uncomprom
ising foe of whisky. It has never
manifested any spirit of toleration
whatever for that evil. It has
kept up an untiring and vigorous
warfare against the saloon , and
has given comfort and aid to all
measures looking toward the re
striction and the suppression of
the liquor faaffic. The hostile at
titude of the most powerful protestant -
testant church in America toward
the rum power and the firm stand
in favor of sobriety which has
been taken by the Catholic priest
hood are highly encouraging to
the friends and advocates of tem
perance reform. Kansas City
Star.
, Purveyor to tne Great
Common People , is now exhibiting
about the handsomest and largest as
sortment of plain and fancy lamps to be
seen in Southwestern Nebraska.

CATARRHAL DYSPEPSIA.
A Disease ihat is Very Prevalent in
City and Country.
The symptoms of catairhal dyspep
sia are : Coated tongue , pain or heavy
feeling in the stomach , sour stomach ,
belching of gag , dizzy head , sometimes
headache , despondent feeling ? , loss of
appetite , palpitation of heart and irreg
ularity of the bowels.
For this condition I find Pe-ru-na to
be an admirable remedy. In all cases
brings prompt relief to the painful
symptoms , and in a large per cent , of
the cases it makes a permanent cure.
Pe-ru-na soothes the inflamed mucous
surface , and thus strikes the root of
the disease. In cases where the in
flammation has been so severe and con
tinued as to produce extreme irritability
of the stomach , the remedy may be
taken in small doses at first , diluted in
water ; but , as soon as the improvement
is sufficient to permit the full dose to
be taken undiluted , it is a better way ,
and the cure is much more rapid. Each
bottle of Pe-ru-na is accompanied with
complete directions for use. Kept by
most druggists in the United States.
If your druggist does not happen to
have it in stock , he will order it for
you.

A valuable pamphlet of thirty-two
pages , setting forth in detail the treat
ment of catarrh , coughs , colds , sore
throat , bronchitis and consumption , in
every phase of the disease , will be sent
free to any address by the Pe-ru-na
Drug Manufacturing Co. , of Columbus ,
Ohio.
