M OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER.
ONE DOLLAR A YEAR.
H From and after January 1st , 1898 , the
M subscription price of THE McCOOK TRIB-
M UWE will be $1.00 a year , if paid in ad-
H vancc. All arrearages on subscription
H will be received on the basis of a dollar a
H year. This will make a considerable
B saying to all those that are a number of
B years in arrears , and should stimulate
M an early settlement of all delinquent sub-
scriptions. It is our purpose to bring the
H subscription to a cash-ln-advance basis
H as rapidly as circumstances and the times
M will warrant. THE PUBLISHER.
H The lessons of the recent Ohio
H senatorial contest should not be
H lost. The matter of the selection
H of U. S. senators is safer in the
H bands of the people than in the
H keeping of the politicians.
M A MID-winter tornado killed
H forty or fifty people and destroyed
H a cool million worth of property in
H Fort Smith , Arkansas , Tuesday
1 night. The Land of the Big Eed
H Apple is not to be mentioned with
H the Land of Corn and Hogs and
_ _ _ _ _ i O
m Wheat and Cattle and Sunshine
M and Health.
B Judge Scott has broken loose
H again and now Omaha doesn't have
H any more fire and police board
H than a rabbit , or words to that
M effect. Attorney' General Smyth
H offers to make an effort to jar the
1 judicial crank off the perch , before
H the supreme court.
H Senator Hanna was too much
fl for the combine , and will serve
M Ohio as United States senator for
M seven years and two months. He
m had votes enough and one to spare
B when the final test camo. And
B thus ends another memorable sen-
B atorial contest which is one more
B clear and potential argument in
B favor of a constitutional amend-
B ment authorizing the election of
H senators by a direct vote of the
B people.

your medicine.
I began taking
Pe-ru-na the
20th of Febru
ary , 1597. I
was all worn
out. I weighed
134 pounds. I
was weak and
almost ready
to go to bed. I had catarrh , asth
ma and kidney trouble. I have
taken ten bottles of Pe-ru-na and
I weigh 161 pounds. I feel as if
I could do as much work as any
man on earth. I had tried seven
doctors ; some of them as good as
there were in the state. But none
of them did me any good. At last
I saw Pe-ru-na advertised. Then
I began taking it and it cured me.
So I recommended it to my neigh
bor and it is doing the work for
him. He has gained four pounds
from three bottles. "

Pay Your Delinquency.
In view of the better times , and higher
prices for grain etc. , the publisher ex
pects those indebted to The Tribune
for subscription to make good their de
linquencies at once. During the con
tinued hard times and failures no effort
was made to force the collection of sub
scription accounts , but now that the con-
iitions have changed greatly for the bet
ter it is expected that these delinquencies
will be promptly paid up. Statements
tvill be sent out to all in arrears and with
the expectation that all will appreciate
aur past indulgence and respond at once.
