RIrrENaousE , Sec'y. y James Eaton Dead. A telegram from Commander Wilson of the Grand Island soldiers' home , on Wednesday , the 20th inst. , announced the death of James Eaton , formerly of 1' our city. The deceased veteran had been a sufferer from consumption for a number of years , and had been an inmate of the home for two or three years. No members of his family now reside here , nor could any trace be found of the whereabouts of Mrs. Eaton , who with one of the daughters is supposed to be living somewhere in New England. A married daughter has been livingin New Mexico. Another daughter was last heard from in Lincoln in misfortutie. No trace of the two boys \Vill and Steve .has been had since they skipped the town last summer some time. The remains were consequently buried at Grand Island. Peace to his ashes. Ask for Them. Nice line of prints , Satines , Percales and Ginghams just received. The prices are reasonable. We are selling clothing from one of the best firms in Chicago. Look at samples and prices.

Give Us an Easy One. "Why is it THE TRIBUNI seldom if ever has a hill in for doing county job work , " asked a friend , recently , after f ' reading the commissioners' proceedings , in which.two esteemed contemporaries had allowed bills for considerable sums torJ-ob work. f Dear friend , ask us something easy. We don't know. We only know that if ' # promises were fulfilled we would get our e : full share. But even written promises are one thing and fulfillment another. 1 1 : A Card to the Public.

A girl 12 to 14 years of age that proves congenial can find a good home with Mrs. Fred Carruth , two miles south of town. The Danbury News is figuring on devoting - voting a page to Lebanon News and advertisements , beginning the first week in April. A daughter was born to Mr , and Mrs. Nate Crawford , Tuesday afternoon. All parties to the interesting fact are doing nicely. Trainmen report seeing an average of ; out twenty west-bound immigrants every day now. Many are returning to their farms. Deacon Morlan is'a recognized authority - ity on law , but he can't tell the difference - ence between a slam and a piece of Norway - way pine , that' sure. On account of the oil company advancing - vancing the price of oil , I am compelled to charge $1.15 for gasoline in five gallon lots. H. THOMPSON. When a child is born to Culbertson parents the newspaper colonels up there extend congratulations and advertise the medic , with a hilarious abandonment and a reckless gratuity quite inspiring these dull times. Judge Hall of Lancaster county has issued a writ of mandamusordering that the Nebraska Grand Lodge of the Ancient - cient Order of United Workmen must meet according to its laws made and provided. There seems to be something in the wind unpleasant for Master Workman - man Tate. Did it ever occur to you that a man era a firm who advertises has business sufficient - cient to justify the expenditure , and the man who has a business can and does sell you goods cheaper than the man who has not , and the man who advertises - tises sells his goods , and therefore has fresher and more up-to-date goods to advertise. A man who does not advertise - tise must have goods that are out of date and must make out of the few customers - tomers which he has enough to pay living - ing expenses. Look over the advertisements - ments in this paper and buy your goods of the houses named there and you will get your money's worth. April will enter very warm over the western states , and crops will. advance rapidly. And there is no danger of floods in the Mississippi valley this spring , for the severe storms will be too far north. 1st and 2d warm and showery , 2d to 5th mild and pleasant , 6th and 7th rain followed - lowed by snow , 8th to loth cold wave , 11th to 13th mild and pleasant , 14th and 15th cloudy with rain , 16th to 19th mild and pleasant , 20th to 22d rain turning to snow in the northern states , 23(1 and 24th cold and blustery , 25th to 27th pleasant , 28th and 29th cloudy with rain , Ind the monthwill close mild and pleasant - ant and the crops will be much more advanced than in 1894 t Dear friends , did it ever occur to you that we set up whole columns of interesting - esting recitals of your doings with never a cent of pay ? Did it ever occur to you that we many times burn midnight oil over a dusty case of type setting up puff after puff that is worth dollars to you in an advertising way ? Did it ever occur to you that many timfi when you tell us an interesting item about yourself , that simple justice would say , "Pay what it is worth ? " We don't talk about ourselves - selves very often , we are not whiners. This community is peopled with "white folks , " the whitest on earth , but when people who should be our best patrons t use us as meanly as the worst advertiss ng fakes , our bile does stir gently. We i are not mendicants , and beg to assure yon that we'll give you one hundred cents' worth of work for every dollar you pay us ; Come , friends , stroke our fa r the right way and hear us purr.-Ex. . .n' THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. BRITISH IDUCATION UP TO DATE. \Ve teach the children Danish , Trigonometry and Spanish ; : Fill their heads with old-time notions , And the secrets of the oceans , And the cuneiform inscriptions From the land of the Egyptians ; Learn the date of every battle , Know the habits of the cattle , Know the date of every crowning , Read the poetry of Browning , Make them show a preferences For each musty branch of science ; Tell the acreage of Sweden , And the serpent's wiles in Eden , And the other things we teach 'em Make a mountain so immense That we have not a moment left To teach them commonsense. Miss Stuby of the east ward primary is making her home with Sylvester Cor- deal's family. Supt. Marble and Chief of Police Seavey of Omaha , are both of the opinion - ion that compulsory educatiou under the present system is practically a dead letter in the city of Omaha. Last Saturday evening the members of the 7th and 9th grades gave Hattie and Edna Stuby a farewell surprise party at the home of Thomas Rowell. It was a very pleasant little affair in which the only pain was that of parting. Dark ages punishments prevail in the Red Cloud schools , if we can credit rumors - mors that come pretty well attested. For instance obstreperous high school pupils receive a spoonful of asafoetida as a corrective. Give them Caster-oil pro- fessor. Practical education is not the knowledge - edge of crafts , trades and professions. It is not that which confers skill in the use of this or that instrument ; it confers upon man the right understanding and ready use of himself. That is practical education , worthy of the name , which enables a person to maintain bodily health and comeliness. To command his own muscles and nerves. To employ his organs of sense with accuracy and effect. To adapt himself to outward physical conditions. To subdue unruly appetites and compel the material world to yield most benefit at least expense : -Venable. AT THE CHURCHES. Usual services in the Methodist church , next Sunday morning and evening. Regular services at the Congregational church next Sunday morning and even- ing. Sunday school at Io o'clock in the morning.

Buy your bicycles of agents who know how and are prepared to take care of them. Leach Bros , are the practical bicycle people. a The members of St. John Commandery and their wives indulged in a banquet Wednesday night. There were about thirty present. The June term of court for Hayes county has been cancelled by Judge Welty , to save expense to the county , there being no cases pressing. The Christian Endeavorers held a delightful social at the residence of J. F. Ganschow , last evening , in which a arge number of the young folks and others participated. Mrs. J. A. Ranney's pupils gave a very pleasing piano recital , at the home of J. H. Yarger , , Tuesday evening. Quite a number of parents and invited guests enjoyed the harmonious occasion. a If you want to buy a first-class , high- grade new bicycle at way below the wholesale price , call at this office at once. There is a great bargain for a man with the ready money-almost half price. C The Nebraska depository law has come o stay-for the present at least. Repre- entatives Lamborn and Cole voted for is repeal. Representatives McBride and Bee for its continuance. The people evidently want it. . Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder walla' .

Utter , sheriff of Phillips county , Kansas , offers $20 reward for the apprehension - hension of Richard Carty , who is wanted for an attempted rape of little Ora Camp , 70 years old , delivery to be made anywhere - where in the United States. The calling card this winter is attenuated - ated to the thinness of parchment ; sizes ladies' use are a little squarer but smaler ? than heretofore , and Roman letters are trying to displace script. White and cream colored stationery is the correct tiling. In the United States court in Cleveland - land , Ohio , last Friday , the jury in the long and bitterly contested case of the Kit Carson Cattle Company against E. b1 : McGillin and others brought in a verdict against the defendants. It aggregates - gates $82,471.73. A benefit ball will be given in Temple hall , April 1st , in the interest of the base ball club. Music by the Pythian orchestra. Ed. Jordanprompter. Tickets $1.00.

Again is horrid homicide rendered gleefully justifiable. Come on with your victims. Trilby has started women on a fresh 1 crusade in the care of their feet. It gives a black eye to tight shoes. _ f the foot is to be beautiful bare , the shoe must be loose ( as Trilby knew ) . The one thing that can keep the feet perfectly soft , the S skin all over them like a baby's , is oil. Cocoa oil is the best for them , and they should be rubbed with it every day. The result adds greatly to comfort as well as to beauty. H. B. Dolan , of Red Willow county , called at this office , last Saturday , and wanted us to say that he had been traveling - eling over Box Butte county for the past three months , and that in his opinion it is as good a county as can be found anywhere - where , if farmed properly. He says that he will buy a farm here soon , and mentioned - tioned Joseph Barkhurst's farm , about six miles northwest of Alliance , as a model one. He says that Barkhurst has at the present time roco , bushels of ivheat and about iooo , bushels of corn , both of excellent quality , which he will sell for seed.-Alliance Times. The weakness of Colonel Ager of the Burlington Route for practical joking is well known and established. The other t day he sent a handsome looking ham b and an attractive appearing piece of sloe bacon out for distribution .to his needy friends , Supt. Campbell and Deacon M orlan of our city. The aid was left at the First National bank for distribution. r The genial superintendent sized up the donation and smiled softly , but passed on , doubtless profiting by the suspicions of some of those present. The deacon i sized up the donation , took in the situation - tion and the luscious piece of bacon as well. He wishes he hadn't. It was a piece of wood cleverly covered with canvas - vas , and the boys are making life miserable - able for him.

" His nose was broken , mashed and otherwise dentoral- 1 ized , in fact he had a narrow escape from death. The ax and clothes line escaped injury. S. P.
