Pt iltfook IVikant. By F. M. KIMMELL. $1.50 A YEAR IN ADVANCE. all home print. A leakned Germ an doctor makes the discovery and announcement that beer is a bacilli killer of great potency. So is pure water. The average Democrat is more in favor of absorption than he is of fusion. Which same may be as truthfully stated of the populists. A prominent member of the party states emphatically that the Democrats of Red Willow county will put a ticket in the field this fall. _ It sometimes happens that the man who thinks what a happy world this would be with all the fools eliminated, is often in the eyes of those who know him best regarded as a peculiarly attractive mark for the fool-killer. So judge not. _ State Auditor Eugene Moore distinctly has Cracker Joe “um besten,” and the blooded commis sioner general will have to show where all the state’s money has gone and how,—by order of the supreme court. The auditor is making a very neat and graitfying record for himself and party. The people will never be satisfied and mollified until a one-fare rate to the world’s fair lias been grant ed them, free from all the petty and abasing qualifications, such as are now pinned on to the excursion tickets about to be issued, which require continuous passages both ways, have a brief limit, and are good only on day coaches. Limited Columbian specials may be run at any price for the nobobs, but the “great common people” can’t afford such luxuries. They want to go like white folks, however. As a result of the recent New burgh wreck, which brought death to so many passengers, the coron er’s jury has returned a verdict holding the negligent switchman responsible and censuring the rail way company for not employing competent men in such positions. It is so easy to censure a great cor poration, but votes of censure have not in thepast proved to be any very forcible incentive to reform in railway methods and management. The switchman may in this instance be deservedly blamed, but some means of tracing the responsibility to the superior officers whose duty it is to protect the lives of the traveling public, ought to be devis ed. The small attendance of the World’s fair on Sunday has caused the directors to decide to hereafter close the Exposition on that day, beginning July 22. The grounds were kept open on last Sunday and the entire admission will be used to swell the relief fund for the benefit of the sufferers from the recent fire in Jackson Park. The lack of Sunday patronage was not due, entirely, as will probably be claimed by the Sabbatarians, to a prevailing religious sentiment which favored a strictly orthodox observance of that day. It was the result in a measure, as well, of the incompleteness of the show. A considerable proportion of the ex hibits were covered up on Sunday, a number of the buildings were closed, no machinery was operated and persons who entered the grounds paid full price for less than a half show. So farjas the manage ment is concerned, itjwas simly a question of business, and not of “scruples.” The Tribune, how ever, is pleased to regard the result as a distinct victory for the Christ ian Sabbath—may its"observance i ever grow less. INDIANOLA ITEMS. The rains make everybody happy. Judge Beck went over to Dan bury, Monday. Dr. DeMay was over from Dan bury, Saturday last. Teachers’ institute commences Monday evening, July 24. A new door is being laid in the odice of the Leland Hotel. The Leland hotel has opened up again Mrs. E. A. Skelsy, prop. Quarterly meeting at the M. E. church on Sunday evening, July 23. The county superintendent is busy getting ready for the insti tute. S. J. Stockton has gone to Iowa to take care of some grain in which he is interested. Frederick Fritz made proof on his timber claim before the county judge on Saturday. The Sargent house is receiving a new coat of paint which improves the looks very much. With plenty of rain for the next six weeks Red Willow county will hav^ a big corn crop. Grace Beck has gone to Beaver City for a week’s visit with the family of the county clerk of Fur nas county. The members of the Epworth League will give a lawn social at the residence of J. J. Lamborn on Friday evening. Delos Youngs and Allen Young left here on Thursday morning for a visit in Michigan, after seeing the great fair by the lake. Our base ball boys went to Stockville on Tuesday to play ball, but were not in it. They had bet ter practice occasionally or quit. Mrs. Ida Sn®den, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Mather, who has been visiting here for past month, started on Saturday for Lincoln and Walioo to visit friends. A Mr. Nelson and family of Treutou, an old friend of A. H. Reynolds, stopped in town for a short visit when they will go on to Arapahoe to see friends. In a drive to Danbury your cor respondent noticed a number of new frame dwellings erected this season which add much to the ap pearance and value of our real es tate. COLEMAN PRECINCT. Now is the time to sow turnips. Miss Gertie Coleman is visiting Mrs. Osborn, this week. Wm. Sharp of McCook is at work on that new house of Mr. Nicklas. Mr. Wales went to turning under buffalo grass, Monday morning. Those three heavy showers make the corn grow and the grangers grin. The heaviest rain since last August came pouring down, Monday afternoon. This town, was treated to a fine rain on Sabbath afternoon which did much good. The Hon. Jacob Steinmetz, August Droll and Archie Altshuler were in this town., recently. Wm. Coleman is receiving letters daily from land seekers who want from 80 acres to a whole sectiou. The most interesting event of the week happend when Uncle Billy fell tlnough the hay rack and hung by the ears. There were over one hundred prei ent at the ice cream social Wednes day night in this towu and a pleasant time was had until the‘-we small hours.” J. Kelley has been doing some extra heavy rustling. In the first place he moved a frame house on his farm, then he built an addition which indi cates something, then he built a barn, a corn crib, and then sunk a well and erected a windmill, thus harnessing the wind and compelling it to subserve his best interests, then he fenced a large tract of his fine quarter which is all smooth, and added a big chunk to his cultivated land, by breaking out a large tract. If Mr. Kelley would enjoy life in all its bliss, let him simply suggest to one of the many beautiful and accom plished, healthy and rosy cheeked lasses that he has enough and to spare and intimate that he is large hearted and lonely. The uew M. E. church was ded icated, last Sabbath, and as a token of approval and acceptance the town, was visited by a drenching rain in an hour alter its dedication. The dedica tory sermon was delivered bv Kev. Mastin, presiding elder of this district, and was an elaborate and eloquent dis course. Rev. H. H. Berry of McCook preached an eloquent sermon. The in-, debtedness, which was small, was soon , raised and the church dedicated to the worship of the almighty God. The church is a neat frame building 24x30 feet in size, neatly painted, and seated with chairs. It is an honor to the com munity and pointed to with pride. It is a place where the youthcuid children of the neighborhood meet on the Sab bath and are taught the principles of Christianity. It is a place where they are taught to observe the Sabbath and reverence the sanctuary; where they have distilled into their minds prin ciples, which, if observed, will make them the best of citizens. NORTH DIVIDE NUBBINS All’s well S. D. McClain is painting his house. Com lias made a rapid growth in the past few days. Pasture was becoming alarmingly short before the recent rains. Will Johnson has traded for some land up near Eustis, Nebraska. Will Henderson was circulating among the natives here last week. We believe Unser Fritz has the most promising looking corn around here. People who are always wishing for some other kind of weather are getting it this year. No need of worrying about hay; we believe there will be a right smart of that commodity. J. S. Modrell has quite a number of acres of broom corn on back setting that looks very well. Uncle Billy Johnson has a notion of driving up into Cheyenne county if he can keep those tires on his buggy. Fred Button, who has been stopping at Uncle John’s lor some time, left for; vSuperior, Nebraska, close of last we?k. A good rain visited this part of the country, Sunday morning; there was al so a downpour of rain the following day. Considerable wind and hail came along with the rain, Sunday evening, leaving the corn and the like in ragged shape. W. S. Hanlein has been absent dur ing the week taking care of some sixty i or seventy acres of fall grain he had i down near Bartley. We neglected to mention before that j Mr. and Mrs. James Brady have a i young lady at their house who expects ! to remain indefinitely. Miss Zella Sexton of Bartley has been visiting friends hereabout for a week or so previous to her departure for the Pacific slope. A. F. Beeves entertained a large company of relatives and friends a few evenings since. Ice cream and cake were served and a general good feeling prevailed. Neighbor Pat lias been hauling lum-' her and will rebuild his house, the ob- i ject being more room and a more sub, stantial building. Cyril Templin is do-1 ing the work. Miss Lizzie Carter of Hastings has | been visiting relatives here for the past j few weeks. On her return home she will be accompanied by Mrs. Alfred Carter who will visit there for a few weeks. Friday evening the home of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Carter was the scene of a large gathering of youthful merry makers. The house was given over to the spirited gathering and enthusiasm and jollity were rampant. Later on re freshments were served to which ample justice was did. Connie. Well Digging.
