I' ONE DOLLAR A YEAR.
1 From and after January 1st , 1898 , the
j subscription price of THE McCOOK TRIB-
i TJNE will be $1.00 a year , If paid In ad-
M < tance. All arrearages on subscription
M ' will be received on the basis of a dollar a
M | year. This will make a considerable
H saying * to all those that are a number ol
fl j I years in arrears , and should stimulate
H < an early settlement of all delinquent sub-
H < scriptions. It Is our purpose to bring the
H subscription to a cash-in-advance basis
H as rapidly as circumstances and the times
H will warrant. THE PUBLISHER.
H Spain will now have two of her
H heroes gentlemen of leisure and
H out of a job. De Lome and Wey-
fl • ler will be great comforts to each
H 'j ' other. Both ran up against the
H President of the United States ,
Hp i and both got hurt.

H ' The destruction of the American
H battleship Maine in the harbor at
H Havana , Tuesday night , is the
H saddest incident in American naval
H history. Two officers and two hun-
H dred men were killed in the explo-
H tion , the origin of which is still
H I unknown. Excitement is intense.
H Never before has there been such
H a demand from Erance , Russia ,
H England , and Germany for Amer-
H | ican canned goods. Europe knows
H , where the best can be had , and in
B i unlimited quantities. The threat-
B I ened war may be only threat , but
H | it is putting many a dollar into
Uncle Sam's boys' pockets.
If Dr. Kansen ever returns to
I .America he should be provided
with a special freight car. His
1 complaint was that " there was no
hb I privacy" on Pullmancars where
H § " one can have a compartment to
H I one's self. " A freight car would
H I fill the bill and make him feel more
H I like he was "in Europe , you know. "
K I If old Zola was over in Ger-
Hi ' I many , Americans would say he was
H" [ getting a very wormy sample of
H .1 justice. The Erench authoiities
H 1 are much in the condition of the
| I boy who was furiously pitching the
H j hay from an overturned wagon.
Hg | " Take it easy , young man , take it
r I easy , " said a passing stranger.
H j "I can't , " said the boy , working
M I more furiously than ever , "dad's
