JV JSifaiife Friiniie. By F. M. KIMMELL. —■ - .. . ■■■ ' ' —7 *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. ARGUED AMD SUBMITTED. On Tuesday the Red Willow county-set removal case was ar gued before the state supreme court and submitted for the de cision of that honorable body. Just when the court will render a decision in this now somewhat famous case is yet a matter of conjecture. Red Willow county is entitled to nine delegates in the Republi can state , convention, Omaha, August 22. Jack MAcCoLLof Dawson coun ty becomes stronger each day as a candidate for governor. The peo ple want a western man this time and Jack is just about the fellow that will get there.—Red Cloud Chief. With Jack MacColl for govern or and W. E. Andrews for con gress, the Republicans will sweep the platter clean in southwestern Nebraska, this fall.—Cambridge Kaleidoscope. State organization of the Re publican legion w-as effected at Lincoln, Saturday, with about fifty charter members. The objects are to further Republican princi ples and doctrines. Lincoln is to be headquarters for the state. Ia will be best appreciated how many persons are publishing news papers in this portion of Nebraska and adjacent parts of Kansas and Colorado, that ought to be in the penitentiary on bread and water, when we state that Hayes county is the only county cf forty coun ties in which the rate provided by law is charged for legal printing. The Hastings Democrat sug gests that Andrews and Mc Keighan might cut down campaign expenses by making the district on a tandem bicycle. But wouldn’t McKeighan’s predisposition to “rheumatism” bar him out of such an arrangement? It would cer tainly be a delightful arrangement for the professor, whose legs are as agile as his head is clear and his heart is clean. A Colorado divine said in a recent baccalaureate address: “Here stands the youth, a thing of energy, of potentiality. He is the highest product of creation; the heir of all ages. All that science, art, literature philosophy, civilization have achieved is his.” The youth no doubt agrees. He will not really begin to doubt un til he hits the ground with a heavy, • jarring thud when he begins hunt ing for a job at $12 a week.— Journal. Three weeks more of the miners’ strike will stop all but emergency trains on the railroads, close more than half the factories and give business almost as much of a jolt as the panic. The west would not be effected by this trouble if it were not for the interference of the walking delegates. In the west and the south the question of wages is in no sense an issue. The men strike in sympathy with the Ohio and Pennsylvania miners. This is the whole story.—Journal. The Iowa weather report shows that the month of May was the driest known in that state for more than sixteen years. The rainfall was but one-third of normal, while the heat was considerably in ex cess of the average. Considerable alarm is expressed over the con dition of the crops. In view of the conditions prevailing over a very large area of this country farmers with grain on hand ought to hold it if possible for better prices. It does not seem possible for wheat, for example, to go low er. In fact the tendency of the markets ought to be upward from this time forward. McCook Mercantile Co. Has opened up a General Merchandise Store on Dennison St. in the A. 0. U. W. Temple Block. They Sell . . . Dry Goods ... . . . And And they sell them cheap. Spend your Dollars where they will go the farthest and buy the most these hard times.

It should have the support of every honest citizen. The farmers are all resting. Providence cultives their corn, harvests their grain and mows their grass, while Jack Frost sits in the shade and devours their fruit. Is it any mystery that the farmer is happy? DANBURY NEWS.

Mrs. M. Moehler, of whom men tion was made same time ago in regard to her eyes, has about re covered her sight.

On Sunday evening, a bevy of young folks gathered at the home of the writer and spent a few pleasant hours with music and singing. J. M. Henderson has several teams at work getting the ground in readiness to plant corn. Noth ing like having several crops in one season.
