Jack MacCoh , isn't much forspeech- 1 making , but he can beat the devil for I honesty , integrity and hand-shaking. I I IT seems to be a crime with the em- 1 • inent and erudite Dr. Dana ofthe New I York Sun to tax wealth. The miserable K old tax shirker. f § A CITIZEN is not absolutely necessar- M rily an anarchist because , forsooth , he JH differs from you on the silver or any $ j other question. Pi The mere mention of an income tax , f | the most equitable and righteous tax § 1 ever laid , throws the eastern money bags 13 into a conniption fit. SI Deacon Morlan thinks that perhaps ijjj we ought to have free silver , because the II people apparently want it. But believes IB the result jtvill be disastrous , and that I they will soon be clamoring to return to I II a gold basis. f | The organization microbe is one of H the most pestiferous nuisances of these 19 modern times. Like the making of jS books , there is no end of organizations ; H " and they are mostly unnecessary and in JE many instances questionable in precept ss and purpose. fj IT is not to be denied that many west- 3 ern Republicans are disappointed in the jj gold standard plank of the St. Louis a platform , but it does not follow that jfj these disappointed ones will go to the m other extreme of free and unlimited m silver. In medio tutissimus ibis. Je J. G. Tate has been elected supreme jfj master workman of the Ancient Order ffi of United Workmen , which places him at the head of one of the oldest fraternal organizations of this class in existence. And thus is Nebraska honored again. But she will bear her multiplied honors modestly. In the language of the street , Nebras ka is "strictly in it this year" . J. M. Thurston was a central figure in the St. Louis convention. W. J. Bryan was the idol of the .Chicago convention. W. V. Allen will be bellwether of the Populist convention. Betitley is the silver Prohibitionist nominee for the 1 presidency. And Nebraska will have the biggest corn on earth , this fall , too. In fact there isn't anything desirable in sight that she has not taken in. SILLY SAYINGS. Floyd Roberson is on the sick list. H. H. Meyer threshed his rye , Monday. . P. A. Wells visited his ranch , Sunday last. last.W. W. S. Fitch and W. G. Dutton have been harvesting. Quite a number of our young people attending teachers' institute. Ed. Knobs of the Driftwood called on friends in our burg , Sunday last. Anyone wanting grain bound call on or address Ed Benjamin or Roy Barnes , satisfaction guaranteed. * A political discussion at the Fitch school house this Friday evening , the 17th. Everybody come prepared to talk on the silver question. Ladies especially invited. An ice cream social for the benefit of the district organ , at Fitch's grove , next Wednesday evening the 22nd. Free transportation from the city. Come one , come all , and let ice cream be your call. I can scarcely muster up the courage to write the news this week as Miss Pleasant Ridge has publicly announced her intentions to scorch Tattling\Tillie in this issue. .

Rather a little too dry to suit the far mers. Miss Alice Dye was a McCook visitor Wednesday. The Republicans will soon organize i McKinley club. E. R. Banks and C. H. Oman were ii McCook , yesterday. Prof. L. W. Smith is in the east , visit ing relatives in Clay county. Mrs. W. R. Starr was a McCook visitor Monday , driving back in the evening. Hon. David Brown and wife of Ne braska City are visiting L. J. Holland' ; family. Thomas Duncan has lately ' returnee from a tour of the towns in eastern Ne braska. A. L. * Haley visited McCook friends Sunday. J. C. Happersett was there 01 Monday. W. H. Smith was the guest of hi brother , the county judge , at McCook Wednesday. Mrs. I. A. Sheridan drove up to th < county seat , Saturday evening , for he : husband , who spent Sunday at home. It is said that if Bryan is electee George Cramer expects the postoffice and has promised Tom Duncan the dep utyship. Marion Powell and family have re turned from the Crete Chatauqua and are visiting friends at Hebron and othei eastern cities. The nomination of Bryan for the pres idency by the Chicago convention caused juite a little ripple of excitement in this Ejreat weedy city. Miss Flora Quick is visiting friends in ; he vicinity of Council Bluffs , Iowa , having recently finished a successful : ourse at the Lincoln summer school. Our street commissioner , Charles Col- ing , is doing some good grading on the itreels ; it is much needed ; most of the : rossings are in very bad condition. The wheels of the ochre mill are still iilent. Who owns the ochre mill pro perty is a mooted question. The school listrict had possession some time ago. W. G. Black has been collecting sam- jles of farm products to send east for idvertising purposes. He has some : retty long stalks of corn , some of them , vith fair sized ears. Mrs. Teel has been selected by the school board for the primary room. She ! s an experienced teacher and no doubt : he young ideas will "freely shoot" for ward under her skillful training. J. J. Wilson and Will Shumaker , with : heir families , are * making a trip by ivagon to Colorado. They will take in : he mountains and canyons and will probably bring back a large slice of free silver. The rich alluvial soil in c ' ur city has : aused a prolific growth of weeds. There should be some way of disposing of the msightly things. Perhaps the Hon. Council can devise some way of getting id of them. George Cramer and Tom Duncan hug- ; ed each other in a very charming man- ler. Martin Anderson loaded up his veil drilling apparatus , bored a hole in i saw log , filled it with free silver , fired t off sixteen times , causing such an ex- > lesion that it broke several lights of dass in Coxey's restaurant. Oscar tfosber jumped into his wheelbarrow md started off to see Sheridan. BARTLEY. F. G. Stilgebouer was in McCook , Vednesday , on business connected with he Utter estate. Willis Gossard and wife and E. A. Sexson and wife , of lndianola , spent Sunday with A. G. Dole. We are thus pleased to record that old ime comrades of the G. A. R. seek and njoy each other's society. J. H. Stephens , general agent of the ! rete nurseries , is canvassing the Beaver Galley around Lebanon , this week. Banker Hupp of McCook was in our own Monday , and being unable to get a .onveyance to Lebanon , from here , was ibliged to take the train for Cambridge , ecuring a conveyance from that point. Rev. G. B. Mayfieldlmd W. D. Myers re attending the M. E. camp meeting m the Beaver , this week. May success ttend their efforts in their christian . 'ork. J. C. Gammill , the old republican war erse of Stockville , was in town , Tues- ay , and reports crops in a flourishing ondition on the Medicine , and as to olitics , well , he says. McKinley is : rictly in it. " * - tr A. W. Porter and son , Henry , wh < have been farming south of town , expec to start to Denver this week , goinj through by the "Prairie Schooner' route , to join his family. He expects t < return this fall and care forthebounyfu corn crop which his present prospect in dicates. Miss Eva Dole took the train Tuesday evening for Reinbeck , Iowa , where shi is employed in teaching school. A largi company of young people and friends ac companied her to the train , thus attest ing the esteem in which she is held. Shi is of a kind disposition , a social favorite and will be missed in social and churcl circles. Samue Bryan of this place says he ii not certain , but thinks he is first cousir of W. J. Bryan the "Great" : " Now is the time to own it , Sam , while he is in hii zenith. After election in November , the name Billy Bryau will bring the remem brance of a boom , and a fall , and a vis ionary cause swept from the Americar continent by American ballots. We think our business men ought tc lend all the assistance possible , to enable our Liveryman Sibbitt to keep on banc a few good rigs. A barn cannot be e success unless the business men throw the patronage of the commercial publie to the barn instead of as at present , tc private individuals. Let us stand up foi our town by standing up and assisting every enterprise represented. NORTH COLEMAN. Rev. E. J. Vivian visited in this locality last week. Beautiful summer is here in all its glory Picnics , fishing parties and currant pickers are seen. The currants , which some years furnish fruil for two months , are fast disappearing and will soon be a thing of the past. One itemizer speaks of the cross words caused by the suckers on the corn. Do those cross words help any in extracting them : Don't let those angry passions rise. The fair daughters of Coleman are doing much to to make the country bloom and blossom as the rose , and the sons are not be hind them , but do their part also. This has indeed been a busy year. Every body , seemingly has been up and doing , from Uncle Billy down to the youngster of 3. The latter caught the spectator by the apron and said : "See ! see ! see my garden ! " The wielders of the hoe will doubtless be rewarded by an abundant supply of Nebras ka's choicest vegetables. The invigorating air and exercise have brought the glowing , healthful look to the cheek. Oh , if the hoe could speak , it could tell of its millions of weeds destroyed. The recent rains have worked wonders on the wheat and oat fields , which were thought beyond redemption. They will yield some thing. The corn cut up by hail is coming out all right. The potato bugs , which were creat ing such havoc , were either killed by the hailer or met a watery grave. Numerous other in sects have gone to hunt them up. We should like to see a more generous re sponse , to the editor , for correspondents from the different precincts. Just send in your items ; let us hear from you. Some may think that an article must be just right or it will not get into print. Not so. If your item is upside down our editor is right there to set them up right. Should they be in a snarl it will not take him long to untangle that snarl. Your article will come out with its new suit ready for the first table. The Y. P. S. C. E. of Pleasant View gave a 4th of July entertainment to a full house on Sunday evening last. As we were present and enjoyed the occasion , we feel like com mending it. The members were brim full of smiles , welcome to all , and patriotism. The room was decorated for the occasion with the red , white and blue. The programme was appropriate and well carried out. The ad dresses by Revs. Coleman and Norval of Mc Cook were well received , being patriotic and inspiring. The declamation , recitations and songs were well rendered , and much credit is due to the young people , who spared no pains to make the enteitainment pleasing , instruc tive , anel of lasting benefit. May the society live to celebrate many more Fourths. We wish you God speed in your noble work. ASH CREEK. Miss Clara Happersett of lndianola is en gaged to teach the Ash creek school. Miss Edith Cook of McCook has been en gaged to teach the school in the Nels Downs listrict. C. W. Dow of Danbury was over on Ash : reek , Tuesday , and fixed the well on the Thomas place. Hattie Burns entered the teachers' institute n McCook , Monday , while Orrie Williams las attended from the first. Miss Cora Matthews and Mrs. Otto Ballew ) f McCook drove out and spent a few hours it W. D. Williams' , Sunday. Nell Kellogg , who has been staying for ieveral weeks with Mrs. J. H. Warfield , ex acts to return home this week. Mational Party County Convention.

Uncle Billy Johnson seems to believe in tin old proverb that he who loves noise must bu ; a pig. He's got the pig. What's the matter with A. F. Reeves , Bos Elder's correspondent to The TrIUUNE He's all right. Stir up the animals , Bert. There was a large turn-out at the picnic hele in Ira Miller's grove on Saturday last , given b ; the Y. P. S. C. E. people of Red Willow. North Divide has a family of four peoph who have consumed 2401 pounds of flour dur ing the year ending with the present month. Life is pursuing its usual peaceful and me thodical course , as most every one is througl working the much-talked-of corn , and there ii nothing else to do. The writer has been more or less occupiee in building a milk house , and of course is pre pared to give any necessary pointers as to how the work should be done. Tony Steltzer is feeling gay of the fact thai he came out so well at the foot races on the Fourth. He carries a sand bag in his boot and is ready for a spurt most any time. The writer of the Coleman itemsover in the precinct of that name , is a happy old boy , and no mistake , but it does seem a bit odd aboul those numerous shirt stories , and we woudei how the next one will pan out. ' Not a few wheelmen appreciate the good roads out this way , and aside from "Gussie" there is always someone humping up or down. Even the beaming and ever jolly S. D. Belles wends his way up here occasionally , and thus the days jingle by. There seems to be a good deal of uneasiness in some localities in regard to the grass hoppers. So far , they have done no damage in this vicinity , but as they are quite numer ous and then some of the pesky things may get after the corn later on. A new game called the Editor's Delight is played in this way : Take a sheet of ordinary writing paper , fold it carefully and enclose a bank note sufficiently large to cover all ar rearages and one year in advance. Keep an eye on the editor , and if a smile adorns his face the trick works like a charm. The Tribune has an unusually sporty lot of assistant editors representing nearly every prominent locality throughout the county. These little squibs are read with pleasure , not only by those at home but by many others who have an interest in the various doings of the neighborhood in which they formerly lived. A common , every-day bridge , one made in the day-time and with the end in view of being just strong enough to hold up a horse and cart , is earnestly desired by the swampers hereabout. Just how much longer one will be obliged to face death on approaching the big canyon near this ranch is a matter of much earnest thought and solicitude. One of our neighbors ( ? ) is helping another neighbor stack what is left of some small grain * This is about the way our correspondence must hereafter read. Can't mention names , anymore , 'cause we came near being kluppfed Dne time for so doing. "A word to the wise" , 2tc , is the way the sap-head wound up his anonymous so-called letter to which we refer- and it was not until recently we learned who had fixeel up the whole business. The man who runs the local end of a news paper learns in due season that he must not expect even briefly expressed thanks for any of the pleasant things he may say about people ple , but he knows to a certainty that the slight est error will call down maledictions upon his head. lie may give a man complimentary notices hundreds of times and never hear of it , but let him hint at some of the short com ings of that same individual and he will make a life long enemy. The newspaper man learns not to expect thanks for the pleasant things lie says about people , and he is not disap pointed. RED WILLOW. J. F. Helm is cutting his seed crop of alfalfa. Misses Mary and Ida Conaga are attending ; he institute at McCook. Misses Grace and May Wagner , nieces of he Wilburs' , and for some weeks their guests , leparted for Kansas last Monday. Ely Ciuckford is improving as fast as could possibly be expected , but now another misfor une comes to the already sorely tried parents , immie , a younger son , is ill with fever. As lis case had attention from the start , it is loped that his illness will not be serious. Mrs. Warren Silver is visiting her brothers md sisters , the Myers children. Mrs. Silver vas Miss Annie Meyers until July 4th , when ; he was united in marriage with Warren Sil ver. Miss Annie was well known at Red iVillow three years ago , and she has the good vishes ot all the old neighbors. Last Thursday Miss Claudie Hatcher and ler brother Archie had an accident which ame near being fatal for Claudie. In going [ own a hill the cart ran onto the heels of the olt they were driving , frightening the colt and ausing it to run. Archie jumped and Claudie ttempted to follow , but her foot caught in the lats of the cart and she was dragged nearly wo hundred yards. The poor girl was in a orry condition when rescued , and suffered in- snsely , but fortunately her injuries were bad ruises and at last accounts she rested more omfortably. Last Saturday evening Mrs. Helm was tartled by the cries of little Roy and found im with a bottle half filled with a dark liquid • hich some one told her was laudanum , larks about the child's mouth and face showed liat he had drank some , and Mrs. Helm sent uickly for Dr. Hoyt. In less than an hour he rrived , his horses reeking with sweat , only tend nd that furtherinvestigations had proven the quid to be Iodine , and the little fellow had jund it so distasteful that he had not swal- > wed any. Everybody was so thankful that latters were no worse , that the trouble was II forgotten. It all came of a careless boy : aving the bottle on his bed.
