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.

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.

On the question of the tariff they are
as well if not better informed than any

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 * ,

Con. Ryan will make a good com
missioner , and the voters should see

of our people should not be asked to

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.
