IMcKinley's inauguration , yes
terday , was attended with appropriate -
priate pomp and display , every
thing passing oil without Unpleas
I ant incident and marked eelat. A
serious administration confronts
| ' the new president.
While all feel like congratulat-
j ing General Harrison on the ad-
j ' vent of a brand-new daughter ; yet
h the detailed reports of the com-
i nionplace event given by the news-
H papers must cause a smile of pity
i and commiseration. Oommisera-
H tion for the general and pity for
Hi the newspapermen.
H Grover Cleveland stepped out
B ] of the "White House , Thursday , by
Hl i the largest plurality of any presi-
H j I dent since Buchanan. By the same
B token President McKinley walked
Hj in with the largest plurality ever
H received by any president since the
H * Bepublic was founded. A distinc-
H tion and a difference , both.
H [ With two ex-state officials under
H [ indictment and in bonds for official
H | irregularities , the people of Ne-
H | braska must feel like going into
H sackcloth for sheer humiliation and
B shame. ' The American people
H have been looking with compla-
H i cency on official malfeasance too
H9 l ° ngj auc the country is now reap-
Hl ing the reward of popular carless-
Hl ness and moral turpitude.
Hl The proposed effort to prove ex-
Hi State Treasurer Bartley's bond
Hl invalid upon a mere , silly technic-
Hl I ality is little short of infamous.
H Indications are not lacking that an
Hfl effort is organizing for the purpose
H relieving Bartley's bondsmen from
Hl any and all liability , and this must
cause the thoughtful citizen to fear
that Nebraska is in grave danger
of losing a cool half million dollars.
If by any means the ex-treasurer's
I
bond shall be declared void , what
the state gets out of the vast sum
involved , after Bartley and his
numerous high-priced attorneys

with friends at Kennard , Neb.and ,
Mr. McKillip started , Monday
evening , for eastern Colorado , to
look up a location. His brother ,
P. J. , will assume the management
of the extensive ranch east of town.
A bold but happily frustrated
attempt was made , Wednesday
night of last week , to steal a valu
able mare and a saddle and two
sets of harness from the barn on
the McKillip ranch east of town.
Some of the men arrived at the
barn just in time to apprehend the
thief who disappeared in the dark
ness.
The pencil-pusher of the Week
ly Beporter is developing into a
humorist of considerable note as is
evidenced by an item in that paper
of last week stating that Indiauola
is shipping four cars of stock to
one of some of the small towns ad
jacent. Of course the writer meant
towns like Stockville , Freedom ,
Box Elder and Tyrone.
Last week , one of our tonsorial
artists concluded that his case of
grip was serious enough to require
a desperate remedy and he took the
same in the shape of .several fin
gers of coffin varnish , inwardly ap
plied. The remedy had the pecul
iar effect of making the horse mar
ket lively for awhile as the knight
of the razor and 6trop wanted to
buy everything that resembled the
noble steed.
J. H. Stephens returned , last
Saturday evening , from a business
trip through several counties east ,
and on Wednesday of this week
moved part of their household ef
fects to their farm in the edge of
Frontier county , north of Box El
der. Mrs. Stephens and Bert will
prepare for spring work there while
Mr. Stephens is making spring
deliveries for the nursery he rep
resents , and the girls will remain
here until school closes. Joe says
he will engage in farm work by
corn-planting time , but it is enough
to make anyone sweat to even think
of him chasing a lister.
RHEUMATISM QUICKLY CURED.
After having been confined to the house for
eleven days and paying out $25 in doctor bills
without benefit , Mr. Frank Dolson of Sault
Ste. Marie , Mich. , was cured by one bottle of
Chamberlain's Pain Balm costing 25 cents and
has not since been troubled with that com
plaint. For sale by L. W. McConnell & Co. ,

H. K. Bixler is going to plant
milo maize instead of hog millet.
He is going to sow about 100 acres
OS wheat and 30 acres of oats ,
It seems tjiat the farmers are
anxious to get in their crops as the
prospects are very encouraging for
a full crop , this year , in which I
hope they will not be disappointed.
There are quite a number of
the Colemanites attending the spe
cial meetings in McCook , conduct
ed by Major Cole , which we hear
is doing immense power of good.
Boy Strykerwho has been stay
ing at H. K. Bixler's , part of the
winter , returned home to give his
parents a short visit previous to
his going to W. B. Whittaker's to
work through the summer.
Don't allow the lungs to be impaired by the
continuous irritation oi a cough. It is easier
to prevent consumption than to cure it. One
Minute Cough Cure taken early will ward off
any fatal lung trouble. A. McMillen.

count.
Jakie Longnecker has gone to
New Mexico to learn the mysteries
of mining. Jakie has grown up in
this neighborhood and will be sad
ly missed , particularly in the Sun
day school and Christian Endeavor
where he was an active worker.
It is surprising what a "wee bit of a thing"
can accomplish. Sick headache , constipation ,

injured in the sheller , some weeks
since , which , together with a bad
cold , has kept him closely confined
of late.

Every one appreciates the value
of a good library and the efforts of
the League in tiying to establish a
circulating library at Box Elder is
a good moveespecially since books
of any sort are ' a scarce article in
this neighborhood.
A warm welcome is accorded
every body in all the churches
round about not only during revi
val times but always. Every per
son should identify themselves
with some church as a member or
regular attendant. It seems no
one is excused from duty in this
direction , and our moral and relig
ious faculties should keep pace
with the times.
The Divide school closed , last
Friday , and with the exception of
a dissenting voice now and then
during the late term everything
was lovely. Washington's birth
day should have been properly ob
served as a holiday but for some
reason it wasn't. Pupils and pa
trons were alike disappointed on
having no closing exercises which
have been customary at the end of
every term.
Beece Harrison , who has been
in Chicago during the past five
years or so , returned home close of
last week. His eye sight which
has given him so much trouble and
anxiety for • many years , is very
much improved. A short stay was
made in Omaha on his way back
to consult with an eye specialist
in that city where an operation
was performed a few days ago with
gratifying results.
They are so small that the most sensitive
persons take them , they are so effective that
the most obstinate cases of constipation , head
ache and torpid liver yield to them. That is
why DeWitt's Little Early Risers are known
as the famous little pills. A. McMillen.
Many cases of "Grippe" have lately been
cured by One Minute Cough Cure. This prep
aration seems especially adapted to the cure
of this disease. It acts quickly thus prevent
ing serious complications and bad effects in
which this disease often leaves the patient.

for her. He went and brought
home the horse and gig.
