I . Y L . C 'rt ; ' t ' TEihe. By F M. KIMMELL. $1.50 A YEAR IN ADVANCE. Toht FLOYD speaks of Ira Cole as young and beautiful-the- anarchist. ; THE wood is full of "bully boys t with vitreous eyes with whom it is a Leasure to trade Horses" but there are not offices enough in the , ' county to accommodate them all , P WITH the eye of faith Ira Cole peers through the exquisite parting - ing of his voluminous hirsute heritage - itage and declares that the day is .swiftly approaching ' when international - tional bimetalism will be a glittering - ing reality. Let her gut , Ira. MR J. C. MooRE of Tyrone precinct , who made such a gallant but unsuccessful canvas for the county superintendency at the election two years since , is a candidate - didate for renomination to that office at the coming Republican county convention so we learn from a private source. TILE true aristocracy of the world is generally in rags , lays some times on straw and dies on the streets. Riches are a curse to the race when hoarded to oppress. Something is radically wrong. The present must find the way ; the past is inaclequate-Rev. Dr. Gun saulus. J. G. TATE , grand master of the Nebraska A. 0. U. W. , is enjoying an ocean trip , and will be absent a couple of months. At the late meeting of the supreme lodge he was elected supreme foreman , and in the natural order of succession Mr. Tate will advance to the head of the order at the next national meeting. NOTWITHSTANDING that it is quite early , the list of candidates for the nomination for the Judgeship - ship of the Fourteenth district is already pretty long. A m o it g those mentioned from the Republican - lican ranks are : Norris of Beaver City , Benson of McCook , Keyes and Starr of Indianola. From the populist party , Smith of India- nola , McClure of Beaver City and Blackledge of Culbertson , are will- lug to be slaughtered if need be. J. A. TULLES of this city has for the second time been appointed - ed custodian of the grand lodge. Mr. Tulleys is a 33rd degree Mason , and has the confidence of his brethren. Mr. Tulleys has no equal as far as efficiency in masonry - ry goes. He belongs to some fifteen - teen or twenty different societies and with a numberless number of degrees , yet it is said of him that he never makes a mistake in any of the lodges but has the work down to perfection in all of them. The grand lodge has made no mistake in this appointmeut.-Red Cloud Chief. "NEVER since I have been in the business" , says Chauncey Depew , "has there been such utter demoralization - alization in freight rates as at the present time" . Speaking of the inter-state commerce commission the gentleman adds that that body "cannot enforce its rulings and convict railroad officials for rate cuttings because of the esprit du corps among railroad men , which prevents them from giving evidence - dence against each other" . Absolute - solute government control seems to be the logical conclusion of this vitally important matter. Pools , associations and commissions have so far all failed. .Enipple is headquarters for bulk seeds. Don't fail to consult him before buying your spring supply. : INDIANOLA.

County Judge Beck did not allow - low the claim against the estate cf the late Ex-county Treasurer Barnes , at the hearing before the court , Monday. The case will likely go up to the district court.

Modrell has a splendid outlook - look fora good crop of broom corn. He has planted a vast amount - mount of this commodity.

About forty young people gath- oretl at the home of the writer on Wednesday evening and had a right jolly good time. Refreshments - ments were served and partaken of with much praise and gusto. The anonymous letter writer , the incubus of society , is at large somewhere in the community and the writer hereof is in receipt of a few very touching lines that must have been done with a great deal of effort and painful exertion. A signature came along with the rest of the document but is unreadable and might mean any of the following - ing : Commanclery , c o n s t a b 1 e , mandy or community. It is a perfect gem throughout and must have been done to order , RED WILLOW. Mr. Benj. Baker was re-elected director of schools in Dist. 72.
