fit pin?*. By F. M.'kIMMELL. $1.50 A YEAR IN ADVANCE. The tariff bill passed the sen ate with a rush, Tuesday. The ballot—not boycott—is la bor’s most powerful weapon. The Denver Sun Jjas suffered a total eclipse and has been hyphen ated inco the Denver Times-Sun. The assassin of Carter Harrison has been adjudged sane and will be duly hanged on the 13th inst. It is worth almost any sacrifice to hear Ike Lansing of Lincoln say “Kaleidoscopic.” No wonder the judge looks like a well auger. The Coxey movement has cost the government $120,000. It has given the people $000,000 worth of relief. And the incident is about closed. Walt Mason sees some evi dences that the campaign “is on in earnest.” Men who ride on passes are beginning to roast the grinding monopolies. W. E. Andrews is a universal favorite of the young republi cans for congress. Nominate him and we’ll all pull off our coats and see that he wins. He is the only logical candidate.—CulbertsonEra. Andrews’ ardent supporters are styled “enthusiasts” by the Times Democrat. The Tribune is will ing to assume all the opprobrium that may attach to that title. En thusiasm is a good thing to have in the family. A man as clean and able and en ergetic and manly as the little par son is always good enough for The McCook Tribune. And when such a man don’t suit a party that party should be called into court to show cause why it should not be rele gated to oblivion. In the light of the fact that An drews’ nomination will come prac tically by acclamation, the fight made on him by the gentleman who is manipulating the politics of the Times-Democrat is amus ing if not puerile. To Andrews not one objection of any weight has been urged. Just burden your mind with this one fact: W. E. Andrews will be the next republican nominee for congressman of the Fifth dis trict. And the western part of the district will not be against him. He proved his strength two years ago, and will poll as many votes as any other republican in the dis trict can honestly command. This is not enthusiasm raw, but fact pure and simple. Apropos of the candidacy of Banker Cruzen of Curtis for the office of secretary of state, there is no brilliant prospect that Cruzen can control even the Frontier county delegation—much less the solid vote of southwestern Nebras ka. Our friend Cruzen is always “ace high” when it comes to mak ing claims of support from every body and everywhere. But he don’t have the winning cards when “called.” The Adams County Democrat says that the nomination of An drews by the republicans and of McKeighan by the pops is a fore gone conclusion, and asks who will head the democratic column. Why McKeighan will, of course, and while the Democrat is making a great bluff for straight democracy on account of its postoffice attach ment, it will be red hot in its sup port of Billy McKeighan.-Minden Gazette. _ Colonel Mason thinks that Chancellor Canfield lived too long in Kansas to be perfect, and fears that he is quite badly tainted with populism. The chancellor is a brainy, fearless, independent gen tleman of convictions, not of the ready-made sort. He has the courage to express his convictions —though they are not “laid down in the books.” May his tribe never diminish nor his good back bone weaken. I LEBANON. Amos Thomas lost a good work horse, last week. Mr. Murphy lost a very valuable young horse, Tuesday. The post office is now located in the west room of the bank building. Mr. Murphy is talking of going to Missouri to engage in business. A splendid rain fell Monday night for which the people feel very thankful. The section house was struck by lightning, Monday night, but not seriously damaged. William Marquis' windmill was struck by lightning, Monday night, and badly damaged. Mr. Heinman shelled 400 bush els of corn, Monday, for which he received 40 cents per bushel. The school ma’ams of this vi cinity are busily engaged, this week, preparing for institute. Alvin Bodwell expects to start on a trip through Arkansas and other southwestern states in the near future. Corn planting is now a thing of the past. The corn is about all through the ground, some of it being knee high. The families of Jud Remington and Wilbur VanDyke enjoyed an ice cream supper at the residence of the former, Friday evening. Mr. Wilson, one of our enter prising blacksmiths, is putting up a new shop where the post office building stood before the late fire. Misses Myrtle Day and Susan Poole and Mesdames Poole and Wingate took in the sights at McCook, Friday, returning Satur day morning. Lebanon was called upon to mourn the loss of her business block, Sunday afternoon. The N. W. block, in which were the post office, a butcher shop, a dry goods and grocery store, a drug store, a hardware store, a millinery store and two dwellings, w'as destroyed by fire. The fire originated in Bradbury’s grocery store, in the oil room. Water was so scaice that the fire could not be held in check and all that could be done was to remove the goods from the buildings. Some of the goods that were removed and piled up in the street caught fire and were destroyed. Mr. Sovereign, the druggist, had his stock insured for $1500. The loss is a very severe blow to those who had no insur ance on their goods. Crounse stock is looking up. Piper's is stronger. There is room for some surprises yet. That was a very pathetic obitu ary notice in last week’s Times over the remains of the Enterprise. Very. A few Republicans seem to be willing to pull the entire Republi can structure down if they can but defeat Andrews. Speaking of stalwart republi cans, there is absolutely nothing wrong with Sexson of Keel Willow and Benjamin of Grant. The Wauneta Breeze is about to suspend. Messrs. Hahn & Baker expect 6oon to issue the Gentry (Arkansas) Journal. Listen to the cuckoo’s song: “Enthusiasm is a mighty good thing to have in a political cam paign ; but of the two, enthusiasm and a majority of votes, we would select the majority of votes. Two years ago Andrews and McKeigh an raD for congress in this district. Andrews’ followers were full of enthusiasm and predicted his elec tion by a rousing, old-time Repub lican majority; but alas, Me. got the votes. Will the enthusiastic Republicans nominate the same man and conduct an enthusiastic, brass band campaign to a like fin ish, next fall?—Indianola Courier. The above is practically all false. Andrews made a heroic campaign against overwhelming odds, ran ahead of the state ticket, and won derfully reduced McKeighan’s im mense majority. No Republican could have accomplished more. No Republican can do more, this fall. A truce to such rot. Mrs. Samuel Strasser arrived heme, last night, from visiting Holdrege and Hastings relatives. A number of her little relatives accompanied her. Too Late for Classification. Try Meadow Lily at McConnell’s. Buy beefsteak at Brewer’s at 7c. cash. Brewer sells boiling beef at 3c. a pound. Patronize the Sunny Side Dairy of Carson & West. A nice variety of ink and pencil tab lets at this office. The Benkelinan Pioneer contemplates suspending,we understand. Get your “likeness” taken at Hall & Beinhart’s photograph gallery. Buy meat at Brewer’s at hard times i prices. He beats them all. Brewer actually sells corn fed beef 40 per cent, cheaper than anybody. Fine and complete line of calling cards at The Tribune. Also order taken for engraved cards. Abstracts of title will be furnished promptly and accurate by C. T. Beggs. John L. Leisure and Olive B. Furguson j of Danbury celebrated the Fourth by having Judge Beck marry them. Fifteen (15) cents will buy a box of nice writing paper at this office, con taining 24 sheets of paper and 24 envel opes. You will find all the fruits, berries and vegetables, in season, at Noble’s. And they will be the freshest and best the market affords. Charles Duckworth and Dora Greve will trot through life in double harness. They were married in Indianola, July 3, and will live on farm near Cedar Bluffs. Three informations charging embez zlement were filed against F. H. Selby, last Tuesday. As the aggregate amount of the bond in the three cases was$l,500, which he was unable to give, Constable Clark took him to Beaver City and de livered him to Sheriff Jackson, where he is to be kept until July 3d, the day fixed for his preliminary examination.—Cam bridge Kaleidoscope. Blaze at Lebanon. Lebanon, Neb., July 3.—[Special to Lincoln Journal.]—Fire destroyed nearly half of the business part of this village, Sunday afternoon, causing a loss of about $12,000. The losses are: H. E. Waugh, postoffice and meat market, about $1,000; B. F. Bradbury, four build ings and stock of general merchandise, about $6,000; F. S. Severns, drugs, etc., about $2,000; Eifert & Garrett, hard ware and agricultural implements, about $3,000. S. Billings lost part of his household goods and Mr. Bernhardt suf fered a similar loss. F. S. Severns lost one building and H. Burgess the build ing occupied by Eifert & Garrett. There was only about $500 insurance. The origin of the fire is unknown. The wind which had been blowing a gale in the forenoon had somewhat abated or it would not have been possible to save any of the business part of town. Photographs.
