*1.50 A YEAR IN ADVANCE.
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.

DANBURY NEWS.
Several nice showers, this week.
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

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.
McCook will have an old-fash
