Unused Postofflce Facilities.
It may be a matter of some surprise to
many patrons of the McCook postoffice
to know that quite a large portion of the
box facilities of the office is not utilized
by the public , notwithstanding the out
fit is not larger than a city the size of
this demands , if the public should uce
the normal number of call and lock box
es. At present the general delivery de
partment of the office is very largely
over-crowded , while a full third of the
call , lock and combination boxes of the
office are not used at all. This over
crowding of the general delivery makes
the work heavy and slow , in fact the
promptest delivery is impossible under
the present circumstances. When it is
understood that the government only
charges 50 cents per quarter for lock box
es and but 25 cents per quarter for call
boxes , it would seem that every box in
the office would be promptly rented , thus
securing to the individual citizen better
service , quicker delivery and greater sat
isfaction all around , and at the same
time slightly increasing the receipts of
the government from this office. It will
be remembered , of course , that box rent
receipts go to the government and that
,
Uncle Sam can use all the money that
can come through this source in his busi
ness.

The Democrats Nominate.
The Democrats of Red Willow county
met in the engine house of the city hall ,
Tuesday afternoon , and placed in nomi
nation the following candidates for coun
ty offices :
Representative , L. J. Holland of Indi
anola.
County Attorney , C. J. Ryan of Mc
Cook.
Commissioner , Harry Barbazett of
McCook.
Dennis Fitzgerald of Indianola was
chairman of the convention and Patrick
Walsh of McCook , secretary.
The nomination of Mr. Holland is in
the nature of an endorsement , and is in
direct contrariety to the resolution
passed at the first convention , which ab
solved the rank and file of the Demo
cratic party from the support of any
particular party nominees.
Trotting Out of His Class.
Colonel Mitchell of the Comfort is
greatly displeased because an advertising
agent only wanted to pay him 60 per cent
of the rates THE TRIBUNE received.
We feel sorry for the colonel , but we
are utterly unable to help him out of his
painful situation. Any discriminating
advertiser will discount the Comfort
that much in comparison with THE
TRIBUNE and the colonel should not feel
so aggrieved. The colonel should make
some effort to publish a real newspaper
and not spend so much of his valuable
time and high talent in probing his pro
boscis into the personal and business af
fairs of others.
