Thk fact that the insurance cot
panies of the country reaped $65C
000,000 of lapses , last year , is not
bad argument in favor of mutual ii
surance.
Judge M. L. Hayward , that sta
wart Nebraskan who ought now to b
leading the Republican state ticket
will speak on the issues of the day i
this city in the near future. Somt
thing of strength may be expectec
"And the Democrats only got a pal
try 60,000 plurality in Arkansaswher
the possibilities are almost limitles
for old fashioned Democratic plurali
ties. For shame ! Just as well madi
it an even 100,000 while you were at it
Quk old.frien4 Abbott of the Haye
Center Republican is aii old scamp ii
some particulars , but there is om
thing The Tribune loves about him
he runs his newspaper himself am
without the aid or consent of an ;
other nation on earth.
Nebraska has 274 Grand Army o
the Republic posts , with a membei
ship of 7,602 , Iowa 437 with a membei
ship of 16,224 , and Kansas 440 , with ;
membership of 14,710. The claims o
these states to the titles of soldiers
states are , therefore , based upon th
indisputable fact of their large so ]
dier population. Bee.
The well established reputation o
the Honorable J. W. Cole of Culbert
son as an abolisher of the county at
torneyship , a reducer of interest oi
tax sales , and a repealer of the ne
farious replevin law , is causing j
regular landslide to him up in th <
67th district. Even up in Hayei
county they are talking of 200 plural
ity for him. • The Tribune move ;
that his election be made unanimous
During the last fiscal year the Brit
ish postal savings bank was made the
depository of savings to the sum oJ
445,000,000 , or nearly $2,225,000,000 ,
While the amount checked out during
the year amounted to a little ovei
three-fourths of the amount deposit
ed , it is readily seen what a stimulus
it has given to frugality and saving.
Adding in one year over $500,000,00C
to the accumulated wealth of the
country is no insignificant accom
plishment. Bee.
The collapse of a number of bicycle
factories in the east is not altogether
due to prevailing hard times. In one
sense there has been an overproduc
tion of wheels , yet the demand is to
day greater than ever. There are
thousands of people in Omaha who
want bicycles , but will not pay the
ruling prices. They are waiting for
the inevitable fall in prices of good
wheels. This was shown at the auc
tion of wheels in this city last week.
An outside firm sold nearly 300 wheels
here in a few days , at prices ranging
from $25 to $35 , and did not supply the
demand for them. When manufac
turers realize these these conditions
they will not have to make assign
ments. Bee.
First G/ass Hand-Picked Apples at
70 cents a bushel or S2 a barrel at
Knipple's. Call early. They are
fine and will go rapidly.
