OUTING SHOES. It long ago seemed as though shoes could never be better and never be cheaper , but they are better now and cheaper now than they ever were before. The great every day favorite is our men's and ladies' shoe. It is as much a boon to the pocketbook as it is to the feet. It won't wear you out to vear it out. You don't need to take care of it ; it takes care of itself. It will give you solid com fort for the simple reason that a better shoe for knockabout pur poses has never been produced. If prices never appealed to you before , the price of this shoe will , for it costs only § 2.50. It will look nicer and wear longer than any shoe on earth. Machine oil of all kinds at Predmore Bros.

It also stands for nuisance , and trespass warnings are being posted by the weary anc exasperated farmers , whose places are being overrun by the would-be hunters. We will be much obliged to our friends in the surrounding Tillages and country if they will send us any acci dent , sudden deaths , or other news chat may be of interest to the general reader. In most cases a postal card will be sufficient for a single accident. Just give us the simple fact , and we will elaborate them. "You touch the botton , and we do the rest. " This month the new money postal order will go into use. The system has been so simplified that there is little erne no complication , and at the same time it is a good way to send money. A sheet calling for amounts from one cent to $3 has been prepared , which on payment of one cent , the amount to be sent will be torn off about the same as an express order. There will be no writing on it by the postmaster , the sender endorsing the check or draft. The government guarantees its safe transportation. It is thought that the new system will be used extensively by senders of small amounts. Farmers are reading men and con sider well what they read , says the Cincinnati Commercial. They are not easily deceived by buncombe speeches or buncombe articles in newspapers. On the question of the tariff they are as well if not better informed than any other class of citizens. Therefore they must by this time be convinced , that a tariff which protects their pro ducts from injurious foreign competi tion , which fosters manufactures and increases the home market demand for their farm products and which , by a reciprocity policy , increases the foreign demand for the same , is the one they should endorse , and the party that stands for that tariff is the one that should , in their own interest , have their support * , It takes "u luiut humid for a lm > } - rac.j.

' 1 he farmers of Red Willow county have an opportunity of placing a genu ine farmer in the legislature in the per son of E. M. Woods , the republican nomi nee , and THE TIUBUNE expects thorn to help do it. We are printing the date to which each sub-icriber has paid his subscrip tion to THE TRIBUNE along with the address.

Also that the bridge itself needs a number of new rails. The repairs should be promptly and thoroughly made , at once. The Riverside Dairy is now the sole property of Ed. Flitcraft , he having purchased T. F. West's interest in the business recently , and will continue the same at the old stand , in the old win ning way. Here's success to him. He deserves it all. We observe in the Bartley Inter- Ocean of last week. notice that Florence M. Lytle asks the court to divorce her from Charles Lytle on the grounds of his grossly , wantonly and cruelty neglecting to support her. She also petitions for the custody of their minor child Willie. Put your $ $ $ where they will do the most good , where theywill secure the best and the most groceries for in stance. You will make no mistake if Noble's is the place of deposit. He gives the limit in quantity , quality and value , and his stock cannot be duplicat ed in Western Nebraska. W. R. Starr , the Republican candi date for county attorney , has a splen did record as an old soldier , and is a lawyer of acknowledged ability. He is in every way furnished and equipped to make Red Willow county a compe tent and faithful officer in the responsi ble and important capacity of attorney. Let the voters consider well his merits and act accordingly. The Messrs. Hatfield have an abid- ng faith in Red Willow county dirt ; and they have just added 480 acres of ine land to their large holdings , by mrchase from Samuel Lyons. Their new acquisition is situated on Ash creek , just east of the Gr. Lloyd Clark ) lace. is heavily timbered as well as valuable from an agricultural stand- poin t. They are now among the heaviest , if not the largest , landholders in this co'unty. Con. Ryan will make a good com missioner , and the voters should see to it that he is elected. The patience of our people should not be asked to stand three more years of misrepresen tation by the present incumbent. He does not deserve reelection. McCook has already twice paid him the debt she may owe him. Now let as have a commissioner for the people , who will secure needed improvement in roads and bridges and business methods. A SCRAPER. [ From the Indianola Courier. ] Some of the boys are much worried over Mi. Sheridan's scraper deal. They think it will IOHU him votes. Now wo take an altogether different view of this mutter. Mr. Sheridan bus never told his most intimate independ ent lieutenant that he came to this country for his health , but wholly on account of comfort which money brings. And who is more able to con tribute to Mr. Sheridan's comfort than the county of Red Willow , and what could be more becoming of a corpora tion cursor than that he should single out some corporation , municipal or private , and in the same name and by the authority of the people's party make it disgorge some of its hoarded wealth. Mr. Dodge , the financial en cyclopedia of the independent party , was working the railroad for an annual pass in the interest of reform , and we can therefore see no good reason why Mr. Sheridan should not charge the county a good 200 per cent on road scrapers. There may be some obstreperous individual who will claim that this is even worse than the banks that charge 3 per cent a month , but the two are entirely dissimilar. The banker is either a democrat or a republican. Mr. Sheridan is a reformer. The bank used the gold bug dollar , Mr. Sheridan used the fiat , i. e. his individual credit with the wholesale house. In other words Mr. Sheridan did the business for both the county and the scraper company. The scraped and unvarnished facts are these : About the first of July Commissioner Young ordered of Mr. Sheridan 12 road scrapers. On the 16 of July Mr. Sheridan furnished the county the aforesaid scrapers. Four weeks later , August 12 , he filed his claim in the following words and figures : 'The county of Red Willow in ac count with I. A. Sheridan , July 16,1892. Dr. 12 Columbus lload Scrapers at $16 each $ 19300 Discount for cash 1920 $17280 I , I. A. Sheridan , being duly sworn , do depose and say that the above ac count is just and correct and that the amount claimed is wholly unpaid after allowing all just credits. I. A. SHERIDAN. " Later on the county wanting some more road scrapers , Commissioner Belles was instructed to purchase them. This time Mr. Will LaTourette , of McCook , a republican , was given the order. October 7 he filed his claim in the following words and figures : "The county of Red Willow in ac count with W. C. LaTourette , Dr. 12 Columbus lload Scrapers at $0.00 each S 7920 Mo discount for cash. This claim was allowed on the 7th inst. and then Commissioner Young interviewed Mr. Sheridan. It is said that Sam was so evenly balanced on his ear that he declared that when it came to furnishing road scrapers he didn't know a reformer from a republican. After thinking the matter over for three or fear days the independent leader marched up to the court house and refunded $88.80. And so after all Mr. Sheridan only gets 40 cents per scraper more than LaTourette. And this of course is caused by the McKinley bill. We propose to stand right by Mr. Sheridan in this matter and accept any explanation he may choose to make as the true and bottom facts. The railroad probably charged Mr. Sheridan more freight than it did La Tourette. The Columbus Scraper Company charged him just double the price and we have no hesitancy in say ing that Treasurer Henton should never have accepted the money that Sheridan returned to the county. Mr. Sheridan is in no position to be posted on the price of hardware , especially an article that fluctuates like road scrapers. COLVIN HAS THE SACKS. Now Let the Farmers Respond With the Grain. S. H. Colvin informs us that he has received 100 sacks in which to place Red Willow county's exhibit of small grain for the World's Fair , and he desires us to urge upon the farmers of this county the importance of responding spending promptly to the request for their best samples of small grain for such exhibit , of course only the best and purest samples are desired. Those of our farmers who have meritorious products of the farm and are willing to give samples for this laudable object should report to Mr. Colvin at once. He will give all the requirements and particulars. And we urge prompt action , hoping many farmers will answer this request for assistance to place Red Willow county's attractions properly before the world. THE TRIBUNE is pained to learn the death of Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Trow- bridge's second child , a daughter almost seven years of age , last Friday morn ing , by membraneous croup. The funeral of the dear one occurred on Sunday , interment being made in Longview - view cemetery. The bereaved parents , family and friends have much sympathy expressed for them on all hands in'their sadness and affliction. The shrill shriek of the steam swing engine whistle is still heard in the land. M - . / > i \ \ \ Used in Millions of Homes 40 Yen ? ? : the Si and arc- Franklin Academy. Students and friends of the Franklin academy will be pleased to learn that the State University , of Nebraska , has placed the academy first in its list of accredited schools , thus giving it first rank among the preparatory schools of the state. This school is at the front in all lines of work and we advise all young people to investigate and find out what it can offer them before going elsewhere. The fall term begins Sep tember 13th.

Waysan & Odell keep horses for sale at their livery barn opposite the Cen tral hotel. The J. Albert Wells store is passing into the hands of George E. Thompson of Omaha , by purchase from Mr. Wells. Mr. Thompson will move his family to McCook at once to permanently reside here. He will continue the business on the plan of Mr. Wells , namely keep a strictly first class stock always sup plied with the newest and most season able goods. Miss Cory will remain in charge of the millinery as heretofore and Mrs. Lewis conduce the dress making just the same. The genial countenance of Mr. Joe Wells will still grace the establishment'also the pre sence of the former employees. The democratic Tariff Reform Club had a bushel of fun among themselves at the opera hall , Wednesday evening. They announce regular meetings on Wednesday evenings of each week , from now until the close of election : and they invite the Republican club of McCook to engage in these discussions with them. The resignation of Rev. W. C. Stevenson , pastor of the Congregation al church , will be learned with regret by his friends in McCook and vicinity. The store of Mr. George Thompson , who purchased the J. Albert Wells stock , is now open , after being closed two or three days pending invoicing. Sheridan's donation to county con science fund of $88.80 ought to elect him , but it wont. Salt petre will hardly save him , now. Hon. J. G. Tate , Nebraska's silver tongued orator , will speak at Stratton , Saturday night , at 7 o'clock. The Congregational people expect to break ground for their new church on next Monday.

' There is not a republican voting precinct where any man , whatever may have been his relations to the flag dur ing the war , may not freely exercise his right to vote. There is not one such precinct where the right of a confeder ate soldier freely to cast the ballot of his choice would not be defended by the Union veterans of the war. Our party is tolerant of political differ ences. " Benj. Harrison. Sterling P. Morton , the democratic candidate for governor of Nebraska , will speak in our city Monday evening. He is one of Nebraska's ablest stump orators. E. M. Woods is a plain , substantial , honest farmer , to whose standard the farmers of Red Willow county should flock in a body.
