You Ian Draw Your Own Conclusions A bout our § 2.00 , 32.50 , § 3.00 She s , but there's really only one conclusion that you can possibly com * to and that is that in shoe leatlier a better investment you nevijr made. Just as sure as you weaJ : this shoe , just so sure will that be your judgment of it. Some shoes are cheap without being good ; others are not good without being cheap ; this shoe is cheap and good enough for the most fas tidious of feet. It will fit as snug i ly as a made to order shoe and there are many made to order shoes that havn't its durability. In all respects it's a wise purchase for the wise buyer. FARM LOANS MADE BY S. H. COLVIN , McCook. U Wait for the 4th. Paine sells fly nets. This is corn weather. See Paine's fifteen cent whips. The funnel-shaped cloud is still OH earth. Minneapolis Binders at S. M.

In the scuffle between winter anc summer , spring was lost entirely. McCook never was really crude , bu < she is now onto all conventionalities. The convention ! And THE TRIB UNE extends life-sized congratulations to everybody. The advertising that Indianola gets from the wreck offsets the McCook cyclone. Courier. Keeley Ilome Treatment for Tobac co , $5.00. Address , Keeley Institute , Beatrice , Nebraska. Absolutely rust proof tinware is sold by S. M. Cochran & Co. , the west Den nison street hardwarcmeu. Noble , the leading grocer , makes a specialty of fresh , clean family grocer ies. He will treat you right. When a newspaper advertisement runs a long time it is called a standing advertisement. Strange isn't it. C. F. Babcock is agent for The New York Life Insurance Co. See him if you want reliable life insurance. Noble is the only exclusive grocer in the city. His stock is the largest and his prices correspond with the times. The people on the Willow in the Wm. Doyle neighborhood are preparing to celebrate The Fourth in grand style. The National Independent Conven tion which meets in Omaha July 4th will have 177G delegates. The corn is emulating that eminent and historic gentleman named "Eli , " this weather , in as much as it is "get ting there. " IN QUEENSWARE Noble carries the largest assortment and the richest designs of the season. His prices are reasonable. Pay $100.00 cash down and $15.00 a month and get a deed for a home in stead of a receipt for rent. S. H. Col- vin sells on these terms. The county commissioners are in session as a board of equalization , this week. It may requhe most or all next week to complete the work. The Ladies Aid Society of the M. E. church wish to thank all who so kindly assisted them during the Authors' Carnival. SECRETARY ; . The Congregational Sunday school will meet on Sunday morning , at the Lutheran church. Services will be held on Sunday morning and evening. Preaching by Rev. J. D. Stewart , of Aurora. Nebraska can raise the hemp and make all the binder twine necessary for the whole country. It is an industry that is profitable to the former , and could easily be made profitable to the factory as well. Bear in mind that spring has opened up and house cleaning has commenced. Also remember that I am in the mar ket as usual for the purchase of sec- cond-hand goods. Drop me a card and and I will call. J. H. LUDWICK. Cherish the home with infinite ten derness. You cannot love it too much nor give too much time and thought. Remember life has nothing better tote to offer you ; it is the climax of God's gifts. Make every day of life in it rich and sweet. It will not last long. See to it that you plant no seeds of bitter memory , that there be no neglect and no harshness to haunt you in after years. The Politician is my shepherd , I shall not want any good thing during the campaign. He leadeth me into the saloon for my vote's sake. He filleth my pockets with fine cigars and my beer glass runneth over. He inquireth concerning the health of my famliy , even to the fourth generation. Yea though I walk through mud and rain to vote for him and shout myself hoarse ; when he is elected , he straightway for- getteth me. Yea though I meet him in his own office he knoweth me not. Surely the wool has been pulled over my eyes all the days of my life and 1 shall dwell in the house of poverty for ever. Alliance Advocate. .ip qftiife ! The Congregational people have de cided to huild a new and portly edi ficc. A building committee has beer appointed to push the matter. The Lebanon dramatic club is pre paring the famous play , "Josh Whit- combe , " which will Far surpass any play they have rendered. The proceeds will be used to purchase suits for the band. McUook is perhaps the most exten sive stock shipping point in southwestern Nebraska. Today a special train load leaves for Chicago , twenty-six cars in all , of which H. T. Church sends sixteen cars and F. S. Wilcox ten cars. County Clerk's office , Red Willow county : Number of farm mortgages filed from January 1st , 1892 , to June 1st , 1892 , 126 ; number of farm mort gages released , 210 ; amount of farm mortgages filed , $56,927 ; amount of farm mortgages released , $96,563. Courier. The road leading southeast from Mc- Cook needs attention : Travelers state that its condition is execrable. As there is considerable money now idle in the county road fund , perhaps there is no good reason why commissioner Belles shall not have this much-traveled highway promptly placed in good shape. The soda water season is with us and as usual The City Drug Store is prompt ly on hand with the very latest and best the market offers in that line. Their fountain is now in operation and if you want a drink of soda water , with the purest of syrups , turn your foot-j steps toward The City Drug Store. You are certain of securing it there. THE TRIBUNE'S report of the Big Fifth Congressional Convention is worthy of admiration , it is complete and strictly correct no spread eagle business. What more could be asked ? In fact , as our only authenticated full- weight Colonel H. H. Easterday , asks : "Where is there a Sweeter Boon than THE TRIBUNE , convention or no con vention ? " Bad roads lead to profanity they make men swear. Bad roads lead to intempearance men think it necessary to fortify the inner man with a few drinks to enable them to stand a long journey through the mud. Bad roads lead to cruelty even the kindestheart- ed driver often has to stimulate a will ing team with the lash. Bad roads lead to poverty the wear and tear on wag ons , harness and animals knock off a large per cent , of profit. Dr. G. W. Mak , the eminent author and physiologist , of Denver , Colorado , will lecture in the opera house tomor row evening. Admission ten and twen ty-five cents. Dr. Mak will exhibit about forty skulls , one of which is more than 2,000 years old being the skull of a Peruvian Incas or Ancient Sun Wor shipper , and is valued at $1,200. One skull is that of a Mormon , whose sixth wife kicked his brains out , and she wore a number seven shoe. There is a large whole in the skull. The Author's Carnival held in the opera house , last Friday and Saturday evenings , by the ladies of the Methodist church , was a unique affair , cleverly designed and quite charmingly carried out. Besides the music rendered , the recitations and other pleasant etceteras , there were booths and tableaux , upon which large expense and much time had been spent , which demanded and re ceived prof use applause. These features were particularly meritorious , perhaps nothing finer has ever beeu witnessed in McUook. The refreshments on tap were delicious ; and altogether the occasion was replete with the elements which give a genuine dash of pleasure to this otherwise somewhat staid and prosaic existence. The ladies deserve much credit for the success of their carnival , and a fuller measure of pat ronage even than was extended. A. McMILLEN , DRUGGIST , Wall Paper , PAINTS , OILS , GLASS.

The attendance , interest and cnthusi ; ism which marked the congressiona convention held in our city , Wednesday afternoon , augurs well for republicar success in November.

Abbott , Fos. Garber , J. C. Gammill , J. W. Fames and A. V. Cole as the committee in resolutions. Their report was ac- septed as follows : We , the Republicans of the 5th congressional listrict in convention assembled , reaffirm our illegiance to the principles of the Republican larty as embodied in the Minneapolis plat- orm and pledge anew our hearty support to ts candidates Benjamin Harrison and White- aw Reid. A nation's gift to her people is a nation's eward for their industry. We , therefore , aver such congressional action as may be iccessary to assist in the reclamation of the irid lands by cession of such lands to the lifferent states or donations to the people oc- upying or assisting in their reclamation. We favor such congressional action as shall ie necessary to give to the northwest addi- ional and competing outlets to the sea board. We favor liberal pensions to all honorably lischarged soldiers and sailors of the late war ; ielieving that the nation's gratitude to those icn should be expressed in substantial benefits o them , their widows and orphans. We favor the fostering of the beet sugar in- ustry by the state in such way as shall most enefit our people who are engaged in raising ie beets , and the fostering of all industries iat utilize within our borders , the proceeds f our ll.bor and the products of our farms. The convention then proceeded to a informal ballot for candidate for congress gross , S. C. Stewart and J. 11. Patricl being appointed tellers. No nomina ting speeches were made. The rcsul was : W. E. Andrews , 04 votes ; Dan Net tleton , 36. The formal ballot follow ing gave Andrews 10G votes and Nettle ton 24. On motion of Christie fron Clay county the nomination was made unanimous. Amidst much enthusiasm and good feeling Mr. Andrews then took the platform , and in acknowledging the honor bestowed , delivered a ringing speech. Ho ranks high among Ne braska speakers , both in thought and oratory , anJ his voice will be a power n the coming campaign. In response to repeated calls Dan Nettleton made a brief address , congrat ulating the convention upon the choice made for standard bearer , and pledging his support to the nomineo. J. P. A. Black and Daniel Nettleton were placed in nomination for presiden tial elector. But upon the withdrawal of Mr. Black , the election of Mr. Net tleton was made by acclamation. The following gentlemen compose the congressional central committee : Adams Leopold Ilahn. Clay T. B. Mc- Clellan. Chase James Burke. Dundy L. Morse. Franklin C. E. Budlong. Furnas N. A. Pettigrew. Frontier A. Wiltse. Gos- per T. J. Carter. Hayes J.K. Paxton. Hall -C. P. R. Williams. Harlan-C. A. Luce. Hitchcock Macfarland Campbell. Kearney L. M. Copeland. Nuckolls C. E. Adams- Perkins B. F. Hastings. Phelps I. L. Strong. Red Willow H. II. Troth. Web ster Joseph Garber. J. L. McPheely was unanimously chosen chairman , the selection of secre tary being left to the discretion of the committee. This finished up the work of the con vention , which adjourned with the satis faction of having done their work well and harmoniously. The uniform band fr m Cambridge rendered very acceptable music. It was a convention for business , not for forensic fuss and feathers. The glee club from Minden were en thusiastically enchored for their sweet singing. Hon. J. C. Allen and Hon. T. H. Benton gazed upon the doings of the convention with satisfaction. Walt M. Seeley , the inevitable and omnipresent Walt , might have been seen rustling around among the delegates. Our own McCook band , peerless among such organizations in southwest ern Nebraska , covered themselves with glory. The convention recognized the efforts made for their accommodation and comfort by a resolution of thanks for the hospitality so generously extended. The Congregational ladies did nobly in their efforts to assist in feeding and housing the delegates and visitors to the convention. Besides realising hand somely toward building a new church. They deserve great praise for their he roic work. Col. Barnes , whose name will go thundering down two or three assorted iges as the editor of the Old Maid's Hyphen , and who is a gracious ajid [ veil meaning person ; resembling Old King Cole in that he is a jolly old soul ind a jolly old soul is he , and whose style of crucifing grammar is worth ? oing miles to witness. In writing ibout McGook's infantile cyclone the Colonel said : "Your reporter was one jf the first to arrive and with others [ vent to work removing the wreck in jrder to get at the children buried be- leath. " A paragraph like this is worth Lhe price of subscription alone , but the Colonel just naturally dashes off such ; ems as though they cost him no effort whatever. And should such heroic ac- : ion go unrewarded ! If there is a family in McCook , "one of which" does lot receive the Hyphen , it is a burning shame. "UNDRAPED ACTUALITY" M cCook landled the convention in a manner Highly Creditable to the valley's me- iropolis. District court proceedings will be : ound on the inside of this issue. * \ THE CAUSTIC BEE. Benkelman is booming. A new tailor shop , watchmaker and jeweler shop , cigar factory , and flour and feed store , have been opened here during the last forty days. The Bee is glad that it is neither a moss back nor a pessimist. The Bee believes in applying axle grease instead of sand on the journal on which revolves ves the wheel of progress. It is with more or less pride that The Bee announces this week that an extensive combination of events that iiave transpired in this vicinity recently conclusively prove that "truth is mighty and must prevail. " After experimenting with prohibi tion for a period of two years the people ple of Stratton have decided that a sa loon is the author oi happiness and creator of prosperity 'and have granted A. C. Clyde , of McCook , u license to operate such an institution in their city. .John McEvoy also applied for a license to run a saloon in Stratton , but a remonstrance knocked out his appli cation.
