M ONE DOLLAR A YEAR.
H From and after January 1st , 1898 , the
H subscription price of THE McCOOK TRIB-
B UNE will be $1.00 a year , if paid in ad-
H vance. All arrearages on subscription
H will be received on the basis of a dollar a
H year. This will make a considerable
H savingto all those that are a number of
H years in arrears , and should stimulate
H an early settlement of all delinquent sub-
H scrlptlons. It is our purpose to bring the
H subscription to a cash-In-advancc basis
H as rapidly as circumstances and the times
H will warrant. THE PUBLISHER.
B If the editor of tiie Beaver City
B Tribuue reprints any more of The
H Tribunes1 correspondence fiom the
H Beaver Valley and credits the same
B to the Beatrice Express , a coldness
B will arise at once between these two
B family necessities.
B The senatorial situation in Ohio
B is rapidly approaching a deadlock.
B Erom a party standpoint the con-
| B ditions are most deplorable. Sena-
B tor Hanna's friends still claim his
B election , but the margin will be
B distressingly close ; and whatever
B the outcome , it does not bode well
B for Republican success in Ohio
B next year.
B Governor Bushnell wants to
B ring Senator Voraker into his set
B and "hopes somedody will pitch
B into him. " It will be time enough
B to do that when the Senator locks
B arms with free-silver Democrats
B aud conspires to defeat the will of
K the Republicans of Ohio. Foraker
B has not done that , nor is he likely
B to do so. Because some of his
H | good friends have committed hara-
| H kari is no sign that Foraker will.
H The falling off in the number of
H commercial failures in 1897 is a
B fine illustration of the solidity
H of the business improvement of
B that year. Of course the aggre-
H gate volume of trade throughout
H the country in the year was greatly
H in excess of the exhibit of 1896.
H This renders the reduction in the
PAVfl financial mortality very significant.
H More business was done in 1897
H than in the preceeding twelve-
H month , aud it was done under safer
H conditions. Moreover , 1898 prom-
H ises to be an improvement on 1897.
H Every newspaperman in the
H state of Nebraska should take a
V H day or two off , next week , and at-
B tend the annual meeting of the
B Nebraska Press association at Lin-
B coin. The Fourth Estate will at-
B tain the dignity to which it is en-
B titled when the newspapermen
B themselves apppreciate their posi-
B tion in the community and state ,
B when they earnestly strive to ele-
V H vate , improve and ennoble the pro-
B fession and demand for it the rec-
B ognition it should command. These
B annual meetings are educational ,
B and no publisher can afford to miss
B them. Remember the date , Janu-
B ary 11th and 12th. The Nebraska
< * s * * ' Reform Press association will also
B meet in Lincoln , Tuesday evening ,
m the 11th. Later On account of
H the meeting conflicting with the
B annual meeting of the count7 comM -
M missioners of the state , it has been
M deemed wise to change the date of
B the association meeting to January
H 25th and 2Gth , just two weeks later
H than the time first decided upon.
H All members of the association
H should keep in mind the change
H and make a special effort to be
H present on the date to which the
H annual meetiug has been post-
H poned.
B Royal makes the food pure ,
H wholesome and delicious.

C. C. Kichards was in McCook ,
Monday , on county seat business.
Maud Vickrey left , first of the
week , for Lincoln , to enter the
Wesleyau university.
J. H. Keys aud bride are now
quite comfortably located in the
Scurr property , south of S. B.
Rowe'e residence.
H. E. Dole of McCook is spend
ing the week here looking after
their corn crop which is still in
the field.
G. W. Jones and T. P. Wei born
have dissolved partnership , and E.
R. Moon is now in charge of the
latter's stock of goods at this place.
Little Bruce Cowles , who was so
terribly hurt by the kick of a horse
a few weeks ago , is rapidly recov
ering from the injuries received.
A few of Grace Curlee's young
friends watched the old year out
with her , Friday evening last. A
very pleasant social time was en
joyed , games and music aiding
materially in shortening the even
ing hours.
H. P. Hodgkin and bride ar
rived here , Thursday of last week ,
and will make their home with his
parents until spring. The cornet
band , of which Mr. Hodgkin is a
member , serenaded them the evening -
ing of their arrival.
The brick residence known as
the Smith property was purchased ,
last week , by A. L. Cochran , who
expects to occupy it soon. He an
ticipates making some changes in
the interior arrangement with a
view to convenience.
James Laird post of the G. A.
R. , and the women's relief corps
auxiliary , held a joint installation
of officers , last Saturday. The
following were installed in the
Grand Army : Commander , I. W.
Stevens ; senior vice commander ,
C. Cowles ; junior vice commander ,
M. Finnegan ; adujtaut , A. G. Keys.
In the relief corps : Mrs. E. A.
Wilson , president , and Mrs. C.
Cowles , secretary. The officers of
the Grand Army were installed by
Past-Commander Keys and those
of the relief corps by the retiring
president , Mrs. Emma Hodgkin.
After the installation a grand oys
ter supper was served and the
evening speut in a social way. The
music for the event was provided
by the cornet band , the members
of which were a considerable factor
in the consumption of refresh
ments.
BartleT never fails to be visited
each year by a fake concern of
some description which gathers in
the dimes of the populace and
gives nothing in return. This
year it came in the form of Dr. H.
G. Stalcnp's company from Indi-
anola which , in its announcement ,
promised that hypnotism and mes
merism would be fully demon
strated and that subjects , taken
from the audience , would be placed
under the influence of deepest hyp-
uosis. After a protracted effort
with the first subject and utterly
failing to do anything with him ,
the peformance came to an abrupt
termination , the genial doctor in
forming his victims that the gate
• eceipts did not justify the accom-
Dlishmeut of any more miracles.
Upon his promised return the decor -
or will no doubt be warmly greeted
md the atmosphere will also be
ended with hen-fruit of ancient
dntage.
General Weyler characterizes
he Cuban people as "those rebel-
ious hordes of bandits who are
mworthy of ordinary and humane
reatment. " The murderer of sick
md wounded inmates of hospitals ,
md the man who gloated over the
mtrages of women , and starved
ihildren to death will have to make
i better defense than that before
io will ever again be received into
inilized society. Satan himself
uay feel a little jealous of Wey-
er.
At last the curtain has been
ung down on the Bartley incident ,
lie supreme court has affirmed
he decision of the court below ,
nd after forty days time the sen-
ence of twenty years imprison
ment will go into effect , and the
nds of justice will be accomplish- ,
d in part at least. j
The senatorial situation in Ohio
rill divide public attention with <

MR. STABLER SAYS
LOCAL TREATMENT FOR CATARRH
DOES NO GOOD.
Mr. E. M. Stabler , Payne , Ohio ,
writes : "I had catarrh of the head.
I tried a local catarrh remedy and
it did me no good ; I tried two dif
ferent catarrh snuffs and they , did
mo no good ; I tried a catarrh
balm and it did me no good ; our
home doctor and his medicine did
me no good ; I tried a Fort Wayne
doctor and he did me no good. I

nac. I read it all through and saw
that Pe-ru-na recommended

mended for catarrh. I took eight
bottles and they cured me sound
and well. I am 59 years old and
can do a good day's work right
along. I think Pe-ru-na is the best
medicine that was ever got up for
catarrh. I think every one that Jias
catarrh should use it , as I believe
it will do the same for others as it
has done for me. "
