Troth of This City Now Well in the Race. WELL QUALIFIED FOR OFFICE An Old Resident of This Section of ' ' Nebraska and His Friends Very Energetic. Mayor H. H. Troth of our city is now well into the race for the Republican nomination for state auditor. With the solid delegation from Red Willow coun } ty and warm assurances from other del- + agations in this part of the state , he and his friends are feeling quite , hopeful , , i of his prospects for securing the nomination - , nation at the coming state convention in Lincoln. t4 As to the qualifications of Mr. Troth for the office , they are ample and sufficient - cient in every particular. THE TRIBUNE , takes pleasure in reproducing the follow- lug complimentary reference to his candidacy - didacy from the Red Cloud Belt : McCoog and Red Willow county will have a candidate in the state convention for state auditor in the person of H. H. Trothi. Mr. Troth is an old acquaintance I of this department and will make a - I strong pull for the office. He has got just dadoodles of friends in the western part of the state and is as competent and as well fitted for the office as any man that could be named. He is a rock ribbed Republican too and knows why he is such. He was postmaster at McCook under Harrison and is mayor of that city now and Job is here to say'that if the delegates from the Republican . valley don't support him they will always - ways wish they had.-Job in Barbwire Department of Red Cloud Belt. IN their open fight against McKinley in Kentucky and Indiana , the A. P : A. is "endearing" itself to the old line Republicans all over the land. Little by little THE TRIBUNE'S prophecies concerning this secret political organization - zation are being realized. ONE of the causes that will endear McKinley to the hearts of thousands of Republicans over the land , Will be the r fact the A. P. A. is fighting him. The Republican party must be immeasurably - bly larger than the A. P. A. or its glorious - ious mission is finished , its sun of promise - ise is ingloriously set and forever. AT the Republican state delegate convention - vention held iii Omaha , Wednesday , John L. Webster , Thomas P. Kennard , Peter Jansen and George H. Thummell j were elected delegates at large , and 0. G. Smith , C. B. Dempster , L. P Judd and A. C. Wright alternates to the St. Louis convention. Delegates were instructed for McKinley first , last and all the time. It was Senator Thurston's convention. - THE latest important decision of the supreme court will do much to return prestige to what should be the most august tribunal on earth , and the cause of individualism as against arbitrary combination receives substantial support. If the interstate commerce commission with the power given or rather affirmed by this decision does not justify its existence - istence by the suppression of pools and trusts , it will be clearly guilty of corrup- tion.-Red Cloud Belt. THE Deming ( New Mexico ) Headlight says , "it has built railroads , planted trees , inaugurated irrigation enterprises , overthrown cattle quarantines , opened custom houses , discovered mines , furnished - nished bustles for beauties and even graced pantry shelves ; it has extolled I candidates until angels were nothing - ing in comparison , and decried others until the devil was ashamed of himself ; it has smiled and cried as occasion demanded - manded , but it can not be run to suit everybody , and we have landed ourselves in danger of investigation by a lunacy I commission by attempting it" . JOHN L. WEBSTER has been one of few lawyers in the state who have been able to stand and hold their own without cor- rate assistance. We have admired him for his independence , as a characteristic - istic product of the best traditions of the bar. But if he is to surrender himself tea a secret political organization whose members are taught to dissemble and deny their membership that they may have more power , an organization which in its political methods is more ] jesuitical than the jesuits , and which would delight - light the heart of Machiavel were he living , then we must give over our ad- miration. He has talent , even genius ; rt so had r1achiavel and the founder of the IJ ] esuit order , and association is as dan- - -r r gerous to hini as to them.--Red Cloud k Belt. t ti - J T v-- - = + , . - I INDIANOLA.

P. WAISH , Chairman Co. Cen. Corn. A. J. RITTENHOUSE. Secretary. Gossip from Antaltrurla. A sojourn of months in Antaltrulia has brought to notice so many traits of character , which to say the least , are peculiar , that I shall give you illustrative instances and shall watch with interest your club discussions and nee how you place them from an Ethological standpoint. I spoke in my last of the stern sense of duty which actuated the inhabitants. Myjtostess had callers , and knowing my desire to have a personal knowledge of the citizensinvited me to make their acquaintance. I was an interested listener to the conversation - tion which was lively and general , PERSONS being the subject , more than things. Near the close of the call , an elderly lady , Mrs. Green , who wore mottled glasses , leaned over to my hostess , saying-"My dear , what do you think of Nora and Tom ? " "In what way ? " "Why , do you think he is in love with her ? " "I don't know , I am sure. I've never seen them together. " In a thrilling whisper the old lady said , "Why , I never saw anything like it ! In Sab bath School she always sits right by him and whenever they are in the same company , she claims his attention and almost makes love to him ! It is ridiculous ! It is a shame for her to be so bold ! Now , what do you think of THAT ? " " 0,1 know nothing about them. I inferred from his talk that he had a sweet-heart at college , and I laughingly advised him not to stay here too long and break that girl's heart. " A few days later , I found my hostess much wrought up. "Now , Mr. Reporter , " she said , "You have a beautiful example of the famous Antaltruria ! You remember when Mrs. Green was here ? \Vell , Sir , the old mottled-eyed thing went straight to Nora's mother and told her that she felt it to be her duty to let her know that I said , I didn't want poor Nora's heart broken and she ought to be told that Tom was engaged to another girl ! " "And how did you know this , " I asked. " 0 , Nora's mother attacked Tom about it , and Tom told Dick and Dick asked I-Iarry if he thought I said it" "All acting from a sense of duty , suppose. " I said. "Yes , Harry thought I ought to know it" Seeing me laughshe broke off and exclaimed , " 0 , Mr. Reporter , it is dreadful for you to show us up in this way ! But I don't care ! It is just as mean as can be for old Mrs. Green to act so ! And she is so given to it" Hers the indignant tears interfered with speech , but she soon recovered and grew eloquent over her wrongs. ' 'One day we were all invited to dine with Mrs. Jones. The dinner was splendid and everything as nice as could be. Afterwards , Mrs. Green called to see Mrs. Wells , who was sick. Mrs. Wells said she had heard of the dinner , that a woman had told her , that Mrs. Jonesthought that she bad some mighty nice ice-cream , but that it was nothing , but cold skim-milk. Mrs. Green then went to Mrs. Jones , and told her that she thought it was her duty to tell her that II ! ! mind you- should have told Mrs. Wells about the skim- milk. Mrs. Jones , of course , felt hurt , and came to me to know why I had treated her so. \Vhy , I told her that I had never heard of such a thing ! I didn't even so much as taste the ice-cream and if I had I was too honorable to speak of it , if anything had been wrong with it. When I met Mrs. Green , I asked why she said what she did for. 'Whymy dear , I knew you had been to see Mrs.Vells , and I was not very well acquainted with you , and I thought it was you : And she was the very one , too , who spoke of the white sauce eaten with the plum pudding. She said to me , 'My dear , ( lid you eat any of the sauce ? ' Yes. 'What ( liI you think of it ? ' It was delicious - licious , I replied.Vellshe must have given me gravy , by mistake , for it was not sweet at all. ' " I laughed heartily at the woes of my hostess as she related'many instances of where this sense of duty caused trouble.
