DSPRICE’S * Powder file only Pure Cream of Tartar Powder.—No Ammonia; No Alum. Used in Millions of Homes—40 Years the Standard 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 th«y ever were before. The great every day favorite is our men’s and ladies’ shoe. It is ns much a boon to the pocketbook as it is to the feet. It won’t wear you out to wear 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. For Best Furniture and Lowest Price go to Pape & Son. On the question of railway reg ulation Governor Crouuse declares himself in favor of a material reduction of rates, either by law or through an elective railway commission. While recognizing railroads as important factors in the development of the resources of the state, and entitled with other great concerns to the foster ing care and protection of the state, he believes that their power to levy unreasonable burdens upon the producers in the shape of ex travagant freigh trates must be restricted. In other words, while the railroads are entitled to a fail income on their honest investment it is the province of the lawmakers to set limits upon their power to exact higher tolls from the people of this state than are charged in adjacent states for similar service under like conditions.—Bee. In Maine they are faying a new method of reforming bad boys. Instead of sending them to a re form school they put them on what is called a “good will farm” and set them at work under proper management and restraint. The plan is working well and lias great possibilities of good. WITHOUT THE BOW (RING) it is easy to steal or ring watches from the pocket. The thief gets the watch in one hand, the chain in the other and gives a short, quick jerk—the ring slips off the watch stem, and away goes the watch, leav ing the victim only the chain. This idea stopped that little game: The bow has a groove on each end. A collar runs down inside the pendant (stem) and Sts into the grooves, firmly locking the bow to the pendant, ao that it cannot be r pulled or twisted on. • Sold by ail watch dealers, without cost, on Jas.

Mr. Haminel) will remain where he is (his year, and will lease and improve the places lie has purchased. The complaint is becoming general among the alliance newspapers and leaders that the interest in alliance work and meetings is waning. This is perhaps a measure chargeable to the effort now being made to organize the Industrial league, which is expected by some at least to supplant the alliance. The league is more comprehensive in its character, and is not a secret or ganization. It Was Something of a Fake. Attorneys Ilittenhouse and Moore, and Stenographer Gibbs, were in Iudi aniila, Saturday, on the defense in the case of the state ul Nebraska vs. Ed. Fitzgerald, who was charged with hav ing broken William Karp's ieg in a drunken brawl at tile brewery south of Indianola, Friday, January 6tli. There was a largo attendance upon the trial and keen interest manifested. County Attorney Dodge prosecuted the case; and lias the distinction of being one of the few prosecuting attorneys of Ne braska who ever dismissed a ease af ter having already introduced evidence enough to win it. M r. Dodge says lie dismissed the case because of iiis ina bility to secure bis principal witness, and says lie could have won the case had the witness aforesaid arrived in the court in time. The sheriff did not ar rive with the witness in question until after the dismissal of the action, though having traveled 30 or 40 miles in search of him. There are some who think that Sidney lost his nerve, and the gentleman is coming for some pretty raw roasting at Indianola. Another trial is among the probabilities. Box Elder Blossoms.

The Crescent Hydro-Carbon Stove Burner uses and makes vapor gas from cheap coal oil and it is cheaper than wood or coal. A. F. Moore has commenced build ing a roomy barn on the property re cently bought by him just north of Dr. Davis’ residence. Charles Weintz has a buggy and a set of single harness to trade for a fresh cow.

Wright has purchased the Wallace Dunham place in Danbury precinct, where with his boys he now controls 480 acres of bought and leased land, which he will farm in his thorough energetic way the coming season. He expects shortly to move from his old place in Bondville precinct to his new home. The national league for good roads are holding a convention in Washington this week. It is not thought that any effort will be made in the direction of the establishment of a federal road de partment, but the general subject of road improvement will be discussed by men who have made a study of it. Much good may come of such an interchange of views, for agitation and intelligent study of the subject are the necessary preliminaries to action. The delinquent personal taxes of lied Willow county have reached an enormous amount for a comparatively new county; is now perhaps $20,000 in round figures; and Tiie Tribune un derstands that Treasurer Hen ton pro poses to make a heroic effort to collect these taxes, which have accumulated in the years gone, and which the several county treasurers have neglected or failed to collect. Treasurer Henton’s determination will meet with approval of all but those persons who have con tinuously refused or neglected to pay their share of the burden of taxation, which has necessarily fallen more heavily upon those who promptly and honestly meet their obligations to the state. The delinquency should be re duced promptly and largely.

Representative Sheridan find himself remembered quite handsomely in the standing committees announced on last Saturday by Speaker Gaffin. Of the committee on fees and salaries he is chairman. Besides being a member of the following more or less important committees: Engrossed and enrolled bills, accounts and expenditures, insur ance, telegraph, telephone and electric companies. He also introduced House roll No. 27, regulating the rental of telephones, which will doubtless relieve this con stituency of an onerous burden—if it becomes a law of the land, and has se cured the appointment of D. R. Car penter, late of tlie Western Patriot, to the position of third assistant clerk of tlie House. House roll No. 88, repealing the act creating the state board of transporta tion is also his handiwork; and jointly with Representative Woods House roll No. 89, providing for the calling of a constitutional convention. Representative Sheridan, who was honored with the place of temporary speaker, and who has been regarded as a sensible and conservative man, is mentioned as the recipient of a great deal of bad treatment from his party colleagues. Things of this kind are numerous enough to account for the lack of harmony which is said to exist in the independent ranks.—Lincoln Journal. The Farmers Meet. Six of the eight counties in the 14th judicial district were represented by small delegations in the Farmers’ meet ing held here. Wednesday aftornoon. William Weygiut explained the object cf the meeting, which was in fine to decide upon some plan for making an exhibit of the agricultural products of Southwestern Nebraska at the World's Fair, and to devise ways and means for paying the expenses incidental thereto.

Danbury is protected from invasion from the barbarous hordes on the north by a row of corn cribs. “Corn is King’’ this year without a doubt, as it rules all other crops in both quantity and price. Some of the farmers are talking of sowing wheat as soon as they get their corn gathered and out of the way, pro vided the present open weather con tinues. Mrs. W. A. DeMay and children left on Monday for Wichita, Kansas, to visit her brother who resides near that city. Her mother, Mrs. GooAen berger, also accompanied her. The question debated at the last meeting of the lyceum. “Resolved that the Government should own ami con trol the Railroads and Telegraph lines, was decided by the judges in the nega tive. S. W. Stilgebouer, who lias been on the sick list all winter, is reported worse and needing the care of a physi cian. He is troubled with neuralgia and headache. Mr. Stilgebouer s many jriends and neighbors would he glad to see him about, again. Mr. Oman is better at the present writing, but is still very low. his fever having developed into a severe ease of typhus. The report received by your Indianola correspondent was, of course, a false one, and was rather startling to friends who had not considered his case dangerous, or probable death so near. Dancing is still in vogue in this neck of the woods. In addition to the weekly club dance at Dolph’s hall, there are frequent housewarmings in the country, which hold their guests until the ;,wee sma' hours.-’ and even longer. The one held last Friday night at Mr. J. Henderson's was no exception to the rule. In fact it might properly be said of that occasion in the language of Byron: “No sleep till morn when youth and pleasure meet To chase the glowing hours with flying feet."
