Has Been Well Governed.
Everything considered , fairly
and frankly , the City of McCook
has been well governed during
the year past. Its affairs , in one
of the most important epochs in
the city's history , have been ad
ministered with judgment and care
and uniformly good results , not
with virtuous perfection , the im
possible drnam of the impractical
and chimerical , but with practical
results along all lines. The finan
ces of the city , though put to the
utmost and uncommon test , have
been handled with judgment and
are now in good , healthy condi
tion , notwithstanding the unusual
demands made upon the cash box.
Large and important problems
have confronted this administra
tion , all will admit , and Mayor
Kelley and his advisers on the
council have handled them with
discretion , with discrimination and
to the city's best interests. Good
order has been maintained and
the health measures well enforced.
All things considered , there is
cause for congratulation , rather
than for discontent and dissatis
faction , and a hearty support by
the Republicans of the city will
continue in authority those who
have performed their duty well ,
the past year , that still have some
important unfinished business to
perform , and that are especially
qualified by knowledge of facts
and events and experience to
transact the business with the
most satisfactory results.
COUNCILMEN PERRY and Osborn ,
Republican re-nominees for
the city council , are 'justly entitled
to the large plurality that will be
given tht m - at the election , next
Tuesday. No better councilman
than W. S. Perry has ever sat in
McCook's city council. He has
brains to know and the backbone
to do. A search of the records
will disclose the fact that Council
man Osboru's vote is always in
the right place , too. Just remem
, j ber the cross" that belongs opposite
their names on the Republican
ticket.
.SUPT. CAMPBELL and W : " F.
Lawsou have performed such uni
formly careful , conservative and
business-like services on the board
of education that there is small
likelihood that the people of Mc
Cook will dispense with their ser
vices at this time. Such men are
needed on the board , men of af
fairs and men of business , men
with large and vital interests at
stake in the public school system
of our city. They are needed , we
say , and a just appreciation of this
important fact will make their se
lection certain by an overwhelm
ing plurality. You will find both
of their names in the Republican
column under the eagle , and an X
will do your duty well for you , if
placed opposite their names.

The petition being circulated to
secure the pardon of Oliver Bush
from the penitentiary is an insult
to every peace-loving and law-
abiding citizen. After defying the
law and authorities for years he
got a very light sentence when the
nature of the offense is considered ,
and he should be required to serve
out every day of it.
It is worth something to get the
news of the. county officially. THE
McCooK TRIBUNE is the official
paper of Red Willow county. It
gives all the news of the commis
sioners by authority of the board
and county clerk , as well as all the
uews of the several county offices.
Besides it covers the important
news of the entire county more
thoroughly and fully than any
other paper published in the
county. But it only costs the
same as the others , one dollar a
year.

wore one sock with a turn-down
top and a gorgeous smile , and
stopped on every corner to stand
on his head while IIB wnvpd his
intellectual legs and hurrahed for
Bryau. The genial agent was
neither drunk nor crazy , but it all
oes to show how excited a man
will get when a diminutive piece
of femininity arrives HI Ins Inure
sn the night express. Of coime
it's the cutest and smiir-t st bal y
that ever occurred.
COLONEL COMFORT seems to be

ship'would go in any society for

SYSTEMIC CATARRH ,
A DISEASE VERY COMMON IN EARLY
SPRING-TIME.
Catarrh ofan organ produces
slight discharges of mucus. This
produces a weakening drain to the
system. During the winter months
the debilitating effects of such a
drain may not be noticed. .As
soon as spring comes , howevei ,
such a discharge , even though it
be slight is felt at once by prutinc
ing languor and weakness. This
condition is known as systemic ca
tarrh The only cure is to remove
the cause. The cause is chronic
catarrh. Pe-ju-na cures catarrh
wherever located.
Marian Kooke , manager of the
extensive millinery establishment
of T.M.Thompson , 1658 Milwaukee
ave. , 514 Chicago ave. , and 274
Grand ave. , Chicago , 111. , writes
the following letter in regard to
Pe-ru-na :
Chicago , January 25,1899. Dr.
iHartman , Columbus , O. Dear Sir :
Whenever I have been overworked
-with the cares of my business
and found no time for the needed
rest , I have invariably taken Pe
ru-na. It acts as an iuvigorator on
my entire system , restores my
strength , and I would not be with
out it for ten times its cost.
Yours truly , MARIANA KOOKE.
Pe-ru-na as a family remedy is
unequaled. A great many of the
little disagreeable ailments that at
tack us unawares are due to ca
tarrh in some form. Pe-ru-na acts
quickly and beneficially on the af
fected mucous membranes lining
the body : therefore Pe-ru-ua cures
catarrh wherever it is located.
Address The Pe-ru-na Drug

book on catarrh , by Dr. Hartnmn ,
entitled "Winter Catarrh. "

The Other Day
a lady who came in to look at Dress Goods inquired for
our 35 cent styles and not selecting from them she handed
out some samples she had sent away for and asked if we had
anything like them. We immediately recognized the samples
as goods made by a mill we patronize and worth at retail ( if
sold fairly ) 50 cents per yard. In fact we had one of the
very patterns among our 50 cent assortment. We produced
it for her inspection and upon naming our price she at once
stated that she was surprised , "because" said she , "that is
exactly the price quoted by " naming the brightest
and most successful Dry Goods House in the state of Nebras
ka. Of course we sold her a dress and her entire bill and she
expressed herself as more than pleased to find such a stock as
within her reach. That is
ours personal .only one amon"-
