J>* IMook Frihift. By F. M. K1MMELL. . ■- ■■■ '-j $1.60 A YEAR IN ADVANCE. ALL HOME PRINT. This is How it Stands. In Red Willow county, Nebraska, ac cording to the American Newspaper Directory for 1894, now in press, the McCook Tribune has a larger regular issue than any other paper. Geo. p. Rowell & Co. A pension has been granted to Thomas J. Floyd of the Trenton Register. It will be the field against Prof. Andrews. God help the field.—Hastings Democrat. The opposition to the Republi can party are doing all they can to defeat the nomination of W. E. Andrews.—Hastings Tribune. Jack MacOoll is entitled to a large and enthusiastic following from western Nebraska. He is a western Nebraska man in sympa thy and spirit, and would make a good governor. With this issue The Tribune rounds off the twelfth year of its existence. For almost eleven years the publication has been in the hands of the present ed itor, and perhaps the past is the best guarantee of the future. And we let it go at that. The latter-day politician, like the latter-day saint, is a distinct specie of the human race. The rank and file of them know,or care very litte, about the science of gov ernment so long as they can hold office or name those who do, and all their energies seem to be direc ted toward the attainment of' that end. _ The Indianola Courier pretends that Andrews was defeated with everything in his favor; while the plain unvarnished fact is that he ran ahead of the state ticket, and that there were elements against him whose support he was proper ly entitled to. These facts should be known by the Courier. They are recognized by the people. Oub esteemed friend Col.Mitch ell of the Indianola Courier now blandly states that W. E. Andrews is mentioned for the office of state superintendent; and adds that he would be a good man for the place. All of which is quite true as to his qualifications, but false as to fact. He is, however, a winning candi date for the congressional nomina tion, misguided brother. The railroads have granted a rate of one and one-third fare for the round trip to the meeting of the republican league, in Lincoln, June 12th. The certificate plan will be used, and purchasers of tickets are therefore advised to take receipts from their local &gents. After they are indorsed by the secretary of the state league at Lincoln, these certificates entitle their holders to purchase return tickets at one-third of the regular fare. The management of the Great Northern railroad does not seem to be paying much attention to the old maxim which advises a man to be sure he is right and then go ahead. The company has been fussing with its men for several months, and when the time comes for a show down the managers are obliged to get down in the dust and admit that they didn’t know what they were doing. A railroad that is only bluffing at its men when it asks them to take a redaction deserves to be beaten out of its boots. W. E. ANDREWS. “The ‘little giant’ from Hast ings, Prof. Andrews, will undoubt edly be the Republican nominee again in the Fifth congressional district, and there is little doubt that he will be elected, no matter whether McKeighan or some other person will be pitted against him.” —Kearney Hub. The above is like a dash of summer rain to the thirsty earth. It comes from an honest heart that dares to stand up and demand the right thing to be done. Everything pertaining to the past proclaims that W. E. Andrews is the logical nominee. The pres ent only emphasizes the previous conclusion, while intensifying the demand by a rationale of combined facts that in clear and unmistaka ble tones confirm the logic of events that if heeded will place Prof. Andrews in the old position he so ably held, with honor to himself and credit to his constitu ency. “Coming events cast their shadows before,” and today the general concensus of opinion as evidenced by an outspoken demand of more than three-fourths of the Solid Republican electors in the Fifth congressional district clearly indicates that Prof. Andrews is not only the choice of the people, but that he is recognized as the only legitimate standard-bearer that shall lead the unified Repub lican hosts to triumphant victory next November. With a clean, unsullied record as a man, an invincible disposition calculated to wrest victory, even from adverse surroundings, and a firm belief in the uprightness of the cause for which he has here tofore and will again wage aggres sive warfare, with these to bring him in touch with the masses of the Republican party, victory, as the ripening fruit that only awaits the hand of the husbandman to pluck and enjoy its fullest fruition, is simply a matter of months and Republican determination.—Curtis Courier. Thebe never was anything more nearly unanimous than the desire to have W. E. Andrews renominat ed for congress. This is particu larly the case with Reublicans in Adams county.—Hastings Tribune. Keep your eye on the Parson. Wednesday evening of this week Deputy Marshal Tomilson and Deputy Collector Ballew arrested G. W. Arbogast on Dry creek, six miles north of Bartley, and with him secured a moonshining outfit, still, worm andsoforth, in a sod house near the creek. Zane Teeter was subsequently arrested, and on yesterday morning the pair were taken into Omaha to tell the judge all about ii That section of the county is gaining quite a notoriety in the illicit liquor business lately.

We haven’t laid eyes on a rat this spring. The next thing in order will be a good rain. What might have been a relay of Coxey’s army passed this way one day last week. Corn planting in this vicinity is nearly over with and the acreage is much larger than usual. Ground squirrels and gophers are unusually plentiful and indus trious in the corn fields, this season. Some fears are entertained in regard to the probable outcome of small grain. A good shower would fix it. A. F. Reeves will try raising broom corn, this year. Bert has not had a hand in it for several seasons. Uucle Billy Johnson has rented a portion of land of Ike Newton and has the same fenced in for pasture. Rev. Mrs. Vivian is now super intendent of the Box Elder Sun day school, with Miss Martha Johnson as assistant. James Brady reports the outlook for fruit to be very good in his orchard, but a great many of the trees were win ter-killed. Quite a number of the Divide’s best young folks are making prep arations far a lengthy fishing up the more or less rocky Willow. Mrs. M. Moehler, who has been seriously troubled with her eye sight for several months past, re cently became blind in one eye. Coyotes are getting very bold and destructive and North Divide chicken raisers have a lively time between this specie and the two legged order. Bob Campbell, late local weather prophet, now known as the assess or, was around assessing our diamonds, money out on interest, steam engines and so on. We are immensely thankful that no prairie fires have visited this section, so far; a little more care should be taken in regard to care less fire setting at all times. Those who were lucky enough to be there enjoyed immensely the quantity and flavor of ice cream made in a wash tub at the home of W. X. Johnson, on last Friday evening. Most of the old timers of this neighborhood will be head over heels in gooseberries before very long, and mulberries, you know, come later on: but we expect to be here. By-the-by, North Divide has a rattling good poet who only needs a little encouragement to bring to light some of his very prosy say ings. We’ll now look for the Tribune man out this way. Henry Hanlein, who has been visiting among relatives and friends for the past few weeks, departed, on Saturday morning last, for Chicago, to reside there in the future. Mrs. H. and little daughter will follow, later on. Some little difference of opinion exists betwnen J. S. Modrell and M. Steltzer in regard to the line separating their land, and we un derstand a survey will soon be made which, we hope, will end satisfactorily to all concerned. Connie.
