and Coninussioner Rubtan dissenting.
= t Under the provisions of the act , for the.
re-location of county seats , there being
I no requirements that abortive ballots
be certified to the county canvass-
t ing board , such ballots cannot be count-
14. ed for the purpose of making up the
l grand total of which a place other than
I the existing county seat must receive
three-fifths to be entitled to the re-loca-
tion of the county seat , merely because
t r in the certified return of.the county elec-
Li g tion board such ballots were referred to
r as "ballots not reported or accounted
for" o as "rejected" or "blank ballots" .
t 2Vhere there were cast upon the
question of re-location or the county
I seat of Red Willow county 867 votes for
A Indianola and for McCook 1,339 votes ,
1 h and the return of county canvassers
4 'showed ballots to have been rejected or
not to have been voted or accounted for.
z held , that McCook having received more
than three-fifths of the nuubers above
given became the county seat of said
county. State ex rel. Hocknell vs. RoPer -

SPOKE THEIR MINDS FREELY ,
, pP A special to the World-Herald , Friday ,
t froin Lincoln , contained the following
regarding the county seat case : Hon.
, - . Lamborn of Indianola and Attorney
, Smith of the same place were at the
' i state house , today , looking into the late
i opinion of the supreme court on 'the
1 I Red Willow county seat contest case , in
, t which the court decided in favor of Mc-
Cook. The usual rule is that when a
' writ of mandamus is allowed , as was
done in this case , that the writ issues at
s once. This will not be done in this case ,
-t ) however , but the Indianola people will
1 t be given until the next sitting of the
court to make their showing in support
J of a motion for a new hearing. Additional -
+ tional and newly discovered evidence , it
r : ij 4 e' is said , will be produced to sustain the
J ' ' _ contentipn of the Indianola citizens.
j Lamborir and Smith were outspoken in
their t i1S ; on the subject , and said they
could iiot understand why the court
f should alter its opinion within a few
months and reverse itself.
To Secure Fair Prices.
Tlie editors of the newspapers of Sa.
' line county are to hold a meeting , at
Crete , today , to see if some arranger -
r inents cannot be made for securing fair
prices for all kinds 'of printing , Citizens -
zens of Saline county who understand
the conditions under which country
{ t newspapers are printed will agree with
e The Journal that this is a proper meeting -
ing , and that the creation of harmony
, , among the publishers will be of distinct
advantage to the people of the county.
I
A meeting to advance prices to an Unreasonably -
reasonably high figure could not be de-
feuded publicly by the warmest friends
of the country publishers. An effort to
L secure fair prices is to be commended ,
r because it will give the people better
printing and improve the quality of the
papers and raise their standing at home
v i and abroad. We would like to see a
r ' I similar meeting held in every county in
, , ii the state where the publishers have drift-
i. ed into the suicidal habit of taking for
, s1 \ their work just a little less than their
1' ' + competitors , without regard to the value
I j . ofthe article or the cost of its produc-

i
siderable trouble , Sunday evening. A

A PROMISING GROWTH.
The Order of the Star of Jupiter Going
Rapidly to the Front , .
BRING YOUR FRIENDS HERE.
The Lantern Class--A So11d'Show-
ing--Will be Regretted.
The interest- and enthusiasm finding
expression and exercise in behalf of the
success of the Order of eStar of Jupiter
of our city may be better understood and
appreciated by participating with the
members of McCook lodge No. i in one
their meetings , and feeling the warmth
and glow of the enthusiasm and energy
being manifested generally.
The attendance at the Monday evening
meeting of this week tested the entire
seating capacity of McConnell hallwhere
two weekly meetings are now being regularly -
ularly held to accommodate the business
of this rapidly expanding order. There
were 24 new applications for membership -
ship presented and acted upon at this
session , and 26 persons were duly initiated -
ted according to the simple but impressive -
ive ritual of the order.
The Order of the Star of Jupiter is rallying -
lying around it the elements of assured
success , and the management are bringing -
ing about a sentiment of confidence that
bodes well for the future of the order , a
success which means larger things for
McCook than perhaps our people now
realize , in a commercial way.
, The programme of entertainment was
made up of musical and literary numbers
of a very enjoyable character , on this
occasion , as usual.
At the meeting , last evening , 28 new
applications were passed upon and 22
members were initiated , which may be
considered an encouraging evening's
work.
Bring Your Friends to Nebraska.
The Chicago , Burlington & Quincy
R. R. publish a sixteen-page monthly
illustrated newspaper called the "Corn
Belt" , which gives in an interesting way
information about western farmpnds ,
particularly those 'in 'Neb'ra"aka : 'The'
regular subscription price is twenty-five
cents per year , but if you want it sent
to any of your friends living east of the
Mississippi River , send ten cents in
stamps for each such person , giving
name and full address and the paper
will be sent for one year , The B. & M.
R. R. R. Agent will show you a sample
copy of the paper on request. Help
your State and induce your friends to
immigrate. Address the Corn Belt , 209
Adams Street , Chicago , Ill , 3-14-2mos.
The Lantern Class.
This week and next the Orient occupies -
pies the screen. Tonight China and the
Chinese at 8 o'clock , with Mr. Magee as
the lecturer. Saturday night at the
same hour Mr. Valentine will deliver the
talk on the' same pictures.
The Fourth and rifth grades attend at
7 o'clock on Friday , and the First , Second -
end and Third grades at 7 o'clock on
Saturday. Parents may accompany their
little ones to the last lectures if they desire -
sire , but it is necessary to charge an admission -
mission fee of ten cents to persons not
members of the school in order to defray
the expense of the loan collection of
slides.
To Subscribers of The Tribune.
Readers of THE TRIBUNE will please
remember that cash is an essential in
the publication of a paper. The publisher -
lisher has been very lenient during the
past few years , on account of crop failures -
ures and hard times , and as a consequence -
quence many hundreds of dollars are
due on subscriptions. We are now compelled -
pelled to request all who can to call and
make settlement in full or in part. In
view of the facts , our subscribers must
feel the justice and urgency of this re-
quest. THE PUBLISHER.
A Solid Showing.
\Ve are in receipt of a statement from
the First National Bank of Lincoln ,
Nebr. , showing the capital stock to be
$4oO,0Oo with a surplus of $ Iooooo and
deposits amounting to nearly one million
dollars. This is certainly a big showing
and speaks well for a Nebraska bank ,
which could not be otherwise with a
directorate composed of such mend as C.
E. Perkins , G. B. Harrison , W. R. Kelly -
ly , N. S. Harwood , D. W. Cookand John
H. Ames. '
WIiI be Regretted.
The contemplated removal of W. C.
LaTourette and family from our city to
Incliana Rill be generally regretted b Y
the old settlers of our city. We understand -
stand that Mr. LaTourette will shortly
leave for Indiana to look over the field
and prospects which are so flattering as
to demand his attention.

The Editor's Sad Career.
The editor , observes an exchange , ris-
eth in the morning and knowetlt not
what the day may bring forth. If he
telieth all the news lie runneth a risk of
having a tin ear put on .him , and' if he
telleth not the news the people say he is
n. g. , and there is no joy in it. The crafty
ty man cajoleth him into giving him a
5o-cent puff for a 5-cent cigar , aiid all
fond mothers frown upon him if lie fails
to flatter their freckle-faced brood. All
his ways are ways of woe , and his days
are full of sorrow. The insurance man
setteth snares for him , and on the whole
he hath a duce of a time.
It is Very Unfortunate.
At this particular period in our history
when'business is prone and bleeding and
every business man so sorely needs every
dollar of trade and penny of cash of the
community , it is certainly very unfortunate -
nate that so many hundreds of dollars
are monthly sent out of the city , and
thus diverted from the orfiinary channels
of trade. It is , we say , very unfortunate ,
and.collections suffer with the decrease
incidental to business.
Escaping Gas Sickened Them.
Conductor C. E. Pope's family were
rendered quite ill , Tuesday night , by gas
escaping from the hard coal base burner ,
and it was necessary to call a doctor.
All have recovered from this unpleasant
experience.
Seed Wheat for Sale.
We have a few bushels of the "Velvet
Chaff" wheat for sale at our place three-
fourths of a mile northeast of cemetery.

Mike Hogan is engaged in painting a
mammoth mountain scene for Reese
Heaton , the barber and taxidermist , who
has over 200 specimens of his skillful
handiwork in his possession for display.
Julius Kunert says he will excuse G.W.
Starr for depositing those four loads of
lead in his decoy ducks , this week ; but
he would rather not have it occur again.
He is fearful the decoys won't float.
Zint and Fitzgerald have bought out
Reese Heaton and are now holding forth
in , the latteris old stand in rear of the
Citizens bank. The transfer was made
on Tuesday evening.
As the date for the congressional convention -
vention is set for the 5th of April , there
seems to be some urgency in calling the
county convention soon for the election
of delegates.

lightful social on Wednesday evening at

ATTACHED THE GOODS ,

Seize the Lowman Stock.
A WAY TO BUILD UP NEBRASKA.
A Happy Surprise Party--Passed
f
Away Very Suddenly.
Monday morning , the goods , credits ,
tenements , moneys , etc. , of L. Lowman
& Son were taken possession of by Far-
ington Power , a deputy United States
marshal , acting for Frank E. White , the
united States marshal , with authority
of attachment from the Circuit Court for
the District of Nebraska , and the deputy -
uty is now in possession. The attachment -
ment was issued on the application of
H. B , Clafflin & Co. of New York city ,
who are heavy creditors of the firm.
Messrs. L. Lowman & Son were unable -
able to settle with H. B Clafflin & Co.
after the late fire , hence the attachment.
Deputy Power has had an inventory
made under the provisions of the attachment -
tachment , and notices have been served
to all indebted to the firm to make payment -
ment to him.
One Way to Build up Nebraska.
The best ntediuni for building up Nebraska -
raska is the state press , says the Clay
Center Sun , and it is doing the work
quietly and unostentatiously every day.
An ably edited , neatly printed and well
patronized general newspaper circulated
in other states , is the best advertising
medium for the state that can be devised ;
better than a paper devoted wholly to
booming the state , for such papers are
generally accredited with overdoing
things and thus exert comparatively
little influence. The most profitable
club for Nebraska would be one containing -
ing a list of every business and professional -
ional man and woman in the state pledged -
ed to advertise in and give material support -
port to his home paper. Such a paper
going abroad would speak as nothing else
can for the state. The press stands up
for Nebraska at all times. Let the people -
ple hold upthe hands of the state press
by giving it their patronage , and it will
be the Nebraska club that will knock the
persimmons.
A Happy Surprise Party.
A number of Mr. William Snyder's
young friends gave huh a pleasant surprise -
prise , Friday evening , at his home one
utile north of the city. The evening was
spent with music and games of various
kinds. Delicate cakes and fruits were
served. All present had a very enjoyable -
ble time , leaving for their respective
homes at two o'clock. Those present
were : Ella Snyder , Roxy Brown , Tillie
Brown , Adessa Hammond , Myrtle Duffy ,
Millie Baker , Josie Houlihan , Daisy Jackson -

Passed Away Suddenly.
Mrs. J. S. Mahana passed away , Sunday -
day evening , suddenly with an attack of
neuralgia of the heart , at her home in
South IsicCook. A lmsdand and a number -
ber of adult children survive her.
Rev. J. A. Badcon conducted services
at the residence , Tuesday evening , and
the remains were shipped to Minden on
Wednesday morning for burial. Mr.
Mahana , a daughter , Mrs. Ibson , and
her husband from Minden , and a son
who drove over from Sherman county ,
Kansas , ' about eighty miles , accompanied -
panied the remains to Minden.
Grand Ball and Banquet.
The ball and banquet to be given in
the A. 0. U.V. . temple , Wednesday
evening , March 17th , St. Patrick's night ,
under auspices of the Altar Guild of St.
Patrick's church , promises to be an
auspicious event , and will attract a large
crowd.
The Pythian band and orchestra will
provide the music for the ball , and the
ladies of the Guild will furnish the refreshments -
freshments which will be served at any
time from 6 to 12 o'clock.
To the National Stock Yards.
On Wednesday morning , E. J. Evans , i
solicitor for the A. B. Clarke company ,
horse commission men of East St. Louis ,
Illinois , shipped a car of horses from
here to that market , Clarence Gray being 1
in charge of the car. Mr. Evans has
been instrumental in sending in a number -
ber of cars from neighboring towns.
The two West McCook dwellings recently -
