{ ' Lincoln is now engaged in tin
T laudable work of raising the where
i withal to build an auditorium.
% This continued hot , dry anc
windy weather is costing the wes
* tern agricultural states a nice pen
if ny. There is no disguising the
It" fact that the corn crop is being
; , . < materially shortened in amount
' and damaged in quality every daj
now. However , there is a large
supply in these states of last year's
, : , corn crop.
The Republican state central
r committee met inLincoln , Wed
nesday , and reorganized for the
campaign with Congressman David
Mercer as chairman ; Ed. E. Sizer ,
c secretary ; E. 33. Schneider , treas
urer. The headquarters will be
in the LindelL hotel , Lincoln. An
energetic campaign will be waged
from now until election day.
{ The effect < of better times is
f > shown in the increased attendance
of non-resident pupils in the Mc-
* , Cook public schools. The initial
U enrollment is almost double what
* ; it was , last year , when the tuition
[ was free , while it now is $2 per
month. The McCook high school
is destined to attract more " pupils
from without , each year , and the
city thus willTbecome' quite an ed-
- ucatioual center , as it now is a
/ ' commercial center.

The state of Iowa has suffered
so severely from hot winds in the
last week that the director of the
crop service estimates that the
yield of corn has been cut down
from about three-quarters of a full
rt crop to half a crop. His investi-
l gations covered the best districts
in the southeastern part of the
- state. The condition of the corn
}
\ in Iowa has been much lower than
in Nebraska all through the seas
on. The higher percentage , of
f - good corn on this side of the river
is due to the fact that as a rule it
I it was farther advanced and had a
* better stand. The Nebraska crop
r _ - has doubtless been cut a little short
by the unseasonable weather of the
h past few days , but as a' rule hot
i weather in early September is
beneficial rather than otherwise.

The Republican county conven-
i tion held in Indianola , Saturday
r last , was one of the most earnest
and harmonious gatherings of Re
publicans held in Red Willow
1 county for a number of years. A
\ , gratifying and significant spirit of
- harrmony , a distinct desire for
united action on the part of the
Republicans of the county , was the
dominant feeling of the conven
tion , and for the most part the
nominations were made by accla-
mation. The spirit of strife , bit
terness and discontent was notably
absent and the operations of the
body were characterized by order ,
decorum and good feeling. The
candidates were chosen from vari
ous sections of the county and of
material that will call forth a
hearty support of the Republicans
of the county , irrespective of lo
cality. With the management
guaranteed by the selection of
I Chairman Barnett and the vigorous -
{ ' ous cooperation of a united Repub-
h - lican party victory will perch high
' < upon the Republican banner in
November.

WASTED LIVES.
Some people use their energies
in a way that wastes the greater
part of them. Hurry , worry , ir
ritation , vexation , defermiuation ,
and foolish anxiety keeps them
constantly wasting precious vital
ity. This is foolishness. People
do not want irritation or stimula
tion. When anyone is tired he
wants rest , not stimulants. When
any one's energies begin to flag
recuperation , not irritation , is
wanted.
"All tired out" some people say ,
"I need a stimulant. " A very
mistaken idea. No doubt such a
one is in need of invigoration , re
cuperation , but not stimulants.
Stimulants draw upon the vigor
which one already possesses ; they
produce no vigor. When one is
tired out , nervous , weak , and de
spondent , Pe-ru-na is what is need
ed in the system. Pe-ru-na invig
orates , recuperates , builds up , vi
talizes , enriches , reinforces. Unlike
so many other remedies , it does
not simply irritate and stimulate.
Pe-ru-na is an invigorator to nerve
and blood. Send for a copy of
Dr. Hartman's latest book. Ad

office of county clerk , is a resident of
Lebanon precinct , a farmer by occupa

itHe is amply qualified in every way
for the efficient discharge of the duties
of the office to which he aspires.

with an absence of some months in 1892
in Missouri. He is a fine , experienced

ticing his profession until January 1st ,
1SS0 , when he established the Courier at
Indianola , and since which time he has
been engaged in the newspaper business.
To the older settlers of the county , Mr.
Bishop needs no introduction , and to
them he cheerfully refers all who are
unacquainted with him.
