Oh for a faith that will not shrink, A rain that is not shy, A Kansas man that will not drink, A cuckoo without pie. —Falls City Journal. A patriot never fails to eradi cate a Russian thistle that comes across his path. An irresistible force has struck the Fifth district. His name is Andrews.—IV allace Star. The Independent state conven tion will meet in Kearney on Aug ust 24th, instead of August loth, as first stated. Few men have learned to utter the words “my countrymen” with greater unction than John M. Thurston of Omaha. Very few. The prospects grow more bright daily that Andrews will be nomi nated by acclamation, and the boys are all for him—even the amusing but perfectly harmless cuckoos. Some Republicans idly imagine themselves to be conservative be cause they oppose silver. Far from it. They are merely sub servient. That’s all. James G. Blaine was not a conservative on the silver question. W. E. Andrews is a strong sil ver man and has been making speeches in favor of the white metal. These who have repre sented him as a gold standard man have been mis-ioformed. Andrews is all right.—Beaver City Tribune. This nation has more to fear from individual and corporate self ishness than it has from Coxeyism, or any other of the prevailing isms. This truth should burn down deep into the convictions of men. For it is a white hot fact, my countrymen. The only thing that has been said against Jack MacColl is not against him, in a way. He is ac cused of wanting to be governor. The desire is perfectly legitimate. He is not attempting to capture anything that he is not perfectly able to handle. He’s all right.— Wallace Star. The publishers and preachers of Lincoln have joined hands in a persistent and active drubbing of the Rev. Prof. Herron. But The Tribune is not entirely convinced that the publishers and preachers mentioned have the best of the Rev. Prof., whose utterances, while caustic, were not so wide the mark after all. Governor Crounso is the hero of the hour in Lincoln over the genial roast given Prof. George D. Herron for the Professor’s some what extreme utterances in his commencement oration delivered to the university graduates on the 13th. Stranger things have hap pened than the renomination of Governoi Crounse. The friends of Jack MacColl are growing enthusiastic and feel certain that he has a good chance to head the Republican state ticket this fall. He has a host of friends in the state who are very anxious to see him in the gubernatorial chair. Mr. MacColl has the repu tation of being a clean and able man. We have never heard a word derogatory of him in any re spect and we think that speaks well for him.—Holdrege Citizen. Adams county Republicans had their convention last Friday and seventeen delegates were elected to the congressional convention to be held here next August. On call of precincts to express their preferences for congressman for the Fifth district, every vote of the 186 was cast for W. E. An drews. This indicates that the Republicans are pretty unamimous up there. There is no reason why W. E. Andrews should not receive everv Republican vote in this dis trict.—Holdrege Citizen. 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 Groceries, And they sell them cheap. Spend your Dollars where they will go the farthest and buy the most these hard times. Go and get their prices and look at their goods before buying elsewhere and you will always save money by so doing. ...PRODUCE... Taken in Exchange. W. H. Davis, Manager. P. A. Wells, Proprietor.

Wm. Miller expects to start for the east, Saturday. T. E. McDonald drove over to Indianola, last Wednesday. J. A. Cass has commenced the frame work on his building. J. W. Hupp stopped here, last Thursday, on his way to Lebanon. Mrs. David Deviney died, last Sunday evening, from an attack of the measles. Thomas Miscerave's windmill was blown down during the hard winds of last week. Dan Miles and Miss Kitty Kent were married, last Wednesday, Rev. J. A. Cass officiating. The heavy rains did much dam age to the railroad track in the vicinity of Herndon, Kanas. Mrs. C. A. Boehl and her three daughers, living six miles north west of this place, were severely burned by the explosion of a gas oline stove, last Wednesday. In the third tier of counties from the south and the same dis tance from the west line of Ne braska is located the county of Dawson. Plum (Lexington) Creek is its county seat. Lexington is in Dawson county and near that place lives J. H. MacColl, who is just now after the nomination on the republican ticket for governor of Nebraska. It is evidently a race between MacColl and Majors and the odds just now seem to favor MacColl. Both are good men. Let the stronger win.— Innianola Courier.
