JOHNSTON of Valley Grange : : Prcc. MEMORIAL PROCLAMATION. The 30th day of May in each recurring : : year has been sot apart and established by the Grand Army of the Republic as a perpetual Memorial day for its deceased comrades. On that day it is the custom of the surviving comrades to meet , in all places , and hold ap propriate exercises , then proceed to the respective - spective burial places and strew beautiful flowers on the graves : : of their departed com- rades. , To the end that Memorial day may be duly i observed in the city of McCook , I request that all business places be closed at noon on the . 30th- day of May , 1896 , and remain closed un til the Memorial exercises are concluded and the citizens abstain from all but necessary labor ( during that time and assist in the Me- morial services of the day. As a further mark of respect to the memory t I of these fallen heroes flags will be placed at half mast upon all public buildings of the citv. > citv.Tn testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand , at the city of McCook. this 18th day of May , 1896. 11. II. TROTH , Mayor. . . _ , ONE of the necessary qualifications of 1 of a successful politician is fidelity to his. friends. Permanent success and J I lasting ! : accomplishment must rest up- on it. , I . ' \ TIlE St. Louis cyclone , Tuesday , was I . one of the worst in the history of this I country. There were a number of hun- ; i dred lives lost , and the property loss will j I be in the millions. . I II I , THE gubernatorial candidacy of Judge / ' M.Tv. Hayward seems to be at once tak- ing on substantial form. The Judge is a man of character and brains. Just keep an eye on his gait. He may sur- , prise you. I ! So FAR , this year has been a rather : poor year for the political bosses , and ! the slate makers at Lincoln would save II themselves a good deal of trouble by J. making note of that fact. The people i : themselves are taking a little band in politics - l I itics on their own account.-Red Cloud Argus. THE insurance companies are after I the valued policy law. And the people J should see to it that the integrity the law is maintained. The insurance fel- I lows are able to and do too much shirk- ing of loss paying : now. The law should be made more binding rather than pli , I , able. THE honor and success of the Repub- lican party and the integrity and safety I of the state are paramount to the claims r ? or demands of any favorite son or any : + ; portion of the state. They must be i higher than the insolence of any com bine or slate makers who may seek to turn the state convention into a mere ratification meeting. - THE extraordinary decisions of At . torney General Churchill respecting the investment of state funds is one of the 't most disquieting incidents of the pres- ' ent canvass for state nominations , and . seem to us to emphasize the necessity of naming a state treasurer in the July convention who will insist upon received - ii ceived something tangible and bus iness like when he succeeds the pres- I > . , ent incumbent. , . . . . - - - - - - - , , THE news that Tesla has at last per- fected his new system of lighting with electricity will create a genuine sensa- tion in business as well as scientific cir- cles. It has long been hinted that this gifted inventor would soon give the world a small electric bulb , unencum- bered with wires and the ordinary disadvantages - advantages of the old incandescent light , that would be strong enough to flood a d large room with sunlight. It he is now ready to make his invention known it is time for the government to pay him a ' reasonable price for it and give it to the public at once. The people are weary z of private ownership of water and light- ing plants. Let us take advantage of these new inventions and make them free to all the citizens of the United States.-Lincoln Journal. And now , Oh Lord , let the servant depart - part in peace. I THE interest that is heinsj arot , : pl in ! , state p } litir ; by the press is ite-slined , we be..t-ve. to result in good to the Republican - publican party and advantage to the state. Attention has been directed to the fact that combinations undoubtedly exist - ist , and that slates have been made , and that the work of the coming convention has been anticipated and "fixed" . The danger of such politics has been her. aIded abroad over the state , and even the politicians are thinking and that right seriously. The very probable disaster - aster which may result to the party should we fail to nominate clean , able and representative men at the coming convention , and the combine or gang I be allowed to carry out their personal . schemes , is being appreciated and felt by those who keep their ears close to the ground , and there are healthful indica tions that a determined , earnest effort will be made at the coming convention to in a measure wipe off old scores and begin anew. Wise and patriotic lead- ers are beginning to realize that the good of the commonwealth and the honor and success of the party are at stake in a real measure in the outcome of the convention of next July ; and it is safe and judicious for the press , the people and even the politicians to continue in pressing the vital importance of this matter. . Another Boycott On. A rumor is abroad , says the Troy Chieftain , that the A. P. A. are going to boycott the Lord for permitting Charles Carroll , a Catholic to survive all the other signers of the Declaration of Inde- pendence. Orleans Chautauqua Dates. T. DeWitt Talmage.

Dennis Smith and wife have been vis- iting their daughter Mrs. 31. H. Cole fora few weeks. They departed for their home in Perry , Iowa.

Some sprouts have already made a growth of three and a half feet this spring , which it a remarkable growth to be made before the first of June. . . If you would like information as to the peculiar sensations experienced in rolling off a horse backward over his tail , with a keg of water in your arms , 1 interview Bert Wales. He tried it one . day last week , and he don't like it a little bit. A horse's back is as slippery as a peeled pawpaw pole. Such were the conclusions of a young lady up here when , on last Friday , she slickly slipped of backward , alighting on her head , with her No. 3'S where the stirrup ought to be. No dam- age done. The interest in the Y. P. S. C. E. , which meets in the Coleman school house every Sunday evening , still con- tinues. The society numbers nearly sixty members now. Miss Gusta Lepper lead on last Sunday evening , and Miss Coleman will lead on next Sunday even- ing ; topic "Ready for Death" . There will be preaching at the Cole- man school house , next Sunday , at II a. in. , sharp , fast time. We want to announce - nounce to the world that these services will continue right along , in spite of the edict that no preaching would be allowed at this point. No one man can run this point , we care not if he is big as Go- liah , and if he proposes to take the bull by the horns here , we suggest that he practice for an indefinite period on a spring calf.

The following interesting item was contributed to the New York Sun of recent date : In a recent issue of your Sunday . edition a party asked : "Whom did i Cain niairy" He married his sister. Her name was Ripha. This St. Chrys- ostom says , was the tradition of the Jews of his time. This information may be found in Duprion's "Concordance of the Holy Bible" . Genesis , v. 4 , says of Adam : "And he begot sons and daughters" . Josephus says that Ackiin and Eve had thirty-three sons and thirty-two daughters. The sons of our first parents married their sisters. The Old Testament was written as a I preparation for the coming of Christ , and the history of personages who did mot typify Him or relate to Him are not given. The holy and innocent Abel was a figure of Christ who was killed by his brethren , and Cain and Abel and their histories are related , while nothing is said of the other children. It may be of interest to your many read ers to know the exact meanings of the names of the patriarchs who lived from Adam to Noe , as follows : Adam , "Man in the image of God" or "the Reasoning being" ; Seth , "Substituted by" ; Enos , "Frail man" ; Caanan , "Lamenting fell" ; Malaleel , "The Blessed God" ; Jared , " " "The "Shall come down" ; Henoch , Teacher" ; Methusalah , "His death shall send" ; Lamech "To the humble" ; Noe , "Rest" or "Consolation" . Now putting these English meanings of the Hebrew names together we have the following : "Man in the image of God , substituted by Frail man , Lamenting fell , The Blessed God , Shall come down , The Teacher His death shall send , To the humble , Rest or Consolation" . Here in the very names of the great , fathers of our race before the flood , we find a revelation of the fall of mankind , . the sorrows of sin , the incarnation of Christ ' how He will come as a Teacher , His death , His redemption , given to the humble ones who will receive His Teach- ings , and the rest and consolation of peace from wars and the blessings of civilization. These are but a few of the wonderful things the student finds in the Holy Bible. To Subscribers of The Tribune. Readers of THE TRIBUNE will please remember that cash is an essential in the publication of a paper.

In view of the facts , our subscribers must feel the justice and urgency of this request - quest.
