The farmer is still getting a share of the general prosperity. IN order to secure employment at their trade the hundreds of shipbuilders in the district represented ( ? ) by John F. Fitzgerald in congress will be com pelled to go to England that is , if his policy of free ships should , ever be adopted by congress. A SHOVBI , cost 6j cents more last year than in 1896. Corn was I4"ceuts a bushel higher , so that the farmer could buy two shovels , last year , and the only additional cost would be his extra profit on two bushels of corn. Even then he would still have a cent left to put in the baby's bunk. ONE New York city plutocrat has an nounced hia intention of giving $100- ooo to the national Democratic cam paign fund , provided Bryan is the nom inee. This information , however , is not for circulation among the middle-of-the- readers of the west ; is for home ( New York ) consumption. BEFORE Representative Fitzgerald of .Boston became a Democratic "leader" lie used to declare that he favored pro tection for American ships in competi tion with foreign ships. Now , in order to show that he is a "leader , " he has been compelled to right-about-face and oppose protection and advocate free trade. THE Fusion convention of the Fifth congressional district will be held in Holdrege on the aad day of August. A lively time may be confidently expected The minority Democrats will insist that its their turn now , while the great ma jority Populists will naturally demand the nominee. WHII.E the discussion goes on as to whether congress shall come to the re lief of American shipping by passing the pending subsidy bill , the foreign shipping doing 92 per cent of our foreign carrying keep right on taking $200,000- ooo a year out of the United States about as much as is annually collected at all of our custom houses. DURING the first four months of this year railway earnings for the whole country were 15 8 per cent larger than in the corresponding months of 1899. In the same months of 1898 there was an increase of 15 per cent over the earnings of 1897. In 1899 the increase was 4.5 per cent over 1898. Business has kept on steadily improving ever since Pres ident McKinley was inaugurated. COLORADO'S bank deposits have more than doubled in five years , increasing from $9,379.733 " l894 to $20,058,377 iu 1899. The number of people who had bank accounts increased in the same time from 18,532 up to 30,047. This can be credited up to McKinley prosperity , and accounts in part for the fact that thousands of Colorado men who left the Republican party in 1896 are returning to it. ACCORDING to the Omaha Bryan or gan the turning down of Congressman Sutherland in the Fifth district is al ready assured and the fight will be be tween Judge Shellenberger as the Fusion candidate and W. S. Morlan as the Re publican nominee. If this is correct Congressman Sutherland will soon be able to add a sting of ingratitude to his collection of political relics. Omaha Bee. UNDER the American administration of Porto Rico the old Spanish taxes are being gradually abolished. The con sumption tax , landing and transportation charges are now done away with on pe troleum , charcoal , fire wood , , fresh beef , veal , pork and mutton , fowls and eggs , fruits , vegetables , flour , cornmeal , bread , rice , beans , salt pork , ham , bacon , fresh fish , codfish , herring , soup paste , dried beef , sugar , molasses and coffee. The Porto Ricans will now be able to take a bite without being taxed for it , and they will soon be able to enjoy the privilege of a free square meal , paying less in taxes and having more money for food. ALL good and patriotic citizens deplore the humiliating developments of fraud and embezzlement in the Havana post- office and note with satisfaction the ef forts being put forth by the administra tion to bring the perpetrators , those who have outraged the confidence of the pres ident and his advisers , to a full account ing. And yet , the public should not be unmindful of the other fact that Uncle Sam's postal and money order system is unparalleled for magnitude and hon esty of management on the face of the globe ; and this honesty is doubtless the result of good character rather than fear of detection , as the few scores of inspect ors cannot possibly cover completely , no matter how diligent , the 70,000 post- offices and hundreds of thousands of post-routes in the country. The loss on 17,000,000 pieces of mail matter , esti mated value $500,000,000 , is not above 1-1,000 of I per cent. Two billion ordi nary letters , valued at almost $500,000- ooo , are carried annually at an estimated loss of 77-10,000 of i per cent. The rec ord is absolutely unequaled.

The end seems to be now definitely in sight. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . THE Illinois Republicans have ruined a large batch of Democratic expectations by holding a harmonious convention and placing an excellent ticket in the field. The indications are that this is going to be a record-breaking year for Democratic disappointment. BIRMINGHAM is shipping three train loads of pig iron per day to New Orleans , where it is loaded on vessels for the foreign trade. This in a measure ac counts for the expansion sentiment in Alabama. The only regret in this con nection is found in the fact that the out put of the Birmingham furnaces is car ried abroad in foreign bottoms. REPUBLICANS are willing that the United States government should con tribute to the upbuilding of an American merchant marine , so that the ships em ployed in doing our import and export carrying may be built by Americans in home shipyards. Democrats , on the other hand , favor the purchase of ships built abroad by aliens , chiefly the English. _ A second large shipment of lawn mowers just received at the "Bee Hive.

Remedy this by taking Ilerbine after each meal , to digest what you have eaten. Price , 50 cents. A. McMillen. The "Bee Hive" shoe department has a most competent shoemaker. Unless food is digested quickly it will fer ment and irritate the stomach. After each meal take a teaspoonful of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. It digests what you eat and wijl allow you to eat all you need of what you like. It never fails to cure the worst cases of dyspep sia. It is pleasant to take. D. W. Loar. INDIANOLA. Willis Gossard was the guest of his son Ben , deputy county treasurer , at McCook , Monday. J. R. Neel , our genial and substantial ex- sheriff , had business in the county's capital , Monday. The little insurgent editor announces that he is so evenly balanced on the political tight-rope that it wont take much to pull him either way. But no one feels rash enough to throw the weight of a feather into the balance , He and his leather-lunged compatriot of the Inter-Ocean are disturbing elements in every activity and expression of life , and their polit ical company is little sought. Your correspondent notes that the Reporter blacksmith shop has been awarded the print ing of the premium lists for the fall meeting of the Red Willow County Agricultural soci ety. This insures the usual , diabolical job. The management of the agricultural society seems to abhore the very idea of having pre sentable job-work at a white man's price. The management needs to broaden out in several particulars , if they hope to organize and pull out a successful county fair. If you are troubled with that most uncom fortable disease called piles , don't neglect it. Don't let the complaint get a firm hold. Ev ery day the disease is neglected it grows worse. Commence at once to use Tabler's Buckeye Pile Ointment ; the relief is immedi ate , and cure infallible. Price. 50 cents in bottles , tubes , 75 cents. A. McMillen.

"At one time I suffered from a severe sprain of the ankle , " says Geo. E. Gary , editor of the Guide , Washington , Va. "After using several well recommended medicines without success I tried Chamberlain's Pain Balm , and am pleased to say that relief came as soon as I began its use and a complete cure speedily followed.

In referring to a sacred concert a Missouri editor Says : "The symphony rendered by Prof. Balche on the great pipe organ was a dream of melody. " Sort of a pipe dream , eh ? To save mending , avoid breaking , and to avoid suffering , prevent coughs and colds by the timely use of Ballard's Ilorehound Syrup. It is a _ safe , sure and swift icmedy for all bronchial ailments. 25 and 5oc. McMillen. That Boston woman who has paid $50,000 for a casket in which to be buried no doubt thinks she will be the envy of every other sleeper in the silent city. Neglect is the short step so many take from a cough or cold to consumption. ' 1 he early use of One Minute Cough Cure prevents con sumption. It is the only harmless remedv that gives immediate results. It cures all throat and lung tioubles. Children all like it and mothers endorse it. D. W. Loar. Thou hast strange notions for one so young a substitute to think that thou art the same as Rocky Mountain Tea , made by the Madison Medicine Co. 35c. Ask your druggist. The New York Sun refers to Post-Laureate Austin's latest war rhyme as "The last effort of the laureate. " This seems almost too good to be true. If troubled with rheumatism , give Chamber- lam's Pain-Balm a trial. It will not cost you a cent if it does no good. One application will relieve the pain. It also cures sprains and bruises in oue-tliird the time required by any other treatment.

Prof. Pate and wife are visiting with his folks at Orleans , this week. A very heavy wind prevailed here , last Wednesday night , but no damage was done. Vanche Plumb.who has just been graduated from the McCook High school , has returned home. Ed Lister and Jim Robinson were county capital visitors , Monday , on matters otherwise and political. A nice little shower here , last Tuesday evening ; but a heavier one west and south of town on the same evening. Judging from the size of the crowd that at tended the show , last Monday , the show people ple left more money in the town than they took awayjthe people must have been too busy to attend shows. Their show was much better than last year. The porch of the hotel has been repaired , the last week , and has added much to the neatness and safety of the sidewalk along that side of the street ; it was lowered to a level with the other sidewalk , making it about two feet lower ; and now if the other business houses all along'that side of the street will do likewise , Danbury can boast of one good line of side walks. Memorial day was observed here by the old soldiers and citizens , Wednesday. The band played several of their appropriate pieces on the street at 10 o'clock , and then the crowd left in procession for the Danbury cemetery , where the graves of those that have gone on before were again covered with flowers in memory of the past. Services were held in the Congregational church at 2:30 p. m. , Kev. Peas of Atwood preaching the Memorial ad dress. A large gathering of old Indianaians as sembled at the home of Mr. and Mrs. B. E. Ashton , last Sunday , May 27111 , and partook of a beautiful spread in the grove , in honor of Grandfather Henry Naden and Mr. and Mrs. John Wilson of Pans , Indiana , who were here on a visit with relatives. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. B. E. Ashton , Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Ashton and family , Mr. and Mrs. John Wilson and Grandfather Naden of Paris , Ind. , Mr. and Mrs. Henry Naden and family , Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Witham of Bird City , Kans. , Mr. and Mrs. Barnet Witham and fam ily. Mr. and Mrs. Clint Pew , Mr. and Mrs. U. S. Leisure , Mr. and Mrs. B. B. Smiley , Miss Maud Eno , Miss Mary Andrus and Frank Fanta. The dinner consisted of good things too numerous to mention ; ice cream , cake and lemonade were served in the afternoon , and the entertainment of the day consisted of telling stories and jokes of their boy and girl hood days in and around their old homes near Paris in Jennings county , Indiana. A photograph of the gathered members was taken that _ they may recall to memory their happy visit , this day had , in the future. The graduating exercises of the class of 1900 of the Danbury public schools rendered , last Friday evening , were highly appreciated by a crowded house of patrons and friends. Miss Maud Ruby's essay , "We Learn by Our Failures , " was very appropriately arranged and spoken , based on actual facts. "The Uses of the Ocean. " by Ray B. Ryan , showed that he has spent his time in the school-room to a good advantage ; his essay was full of up- to-date events , explaining the use of the water in a creditable manner. Geo. A. Whitaker's Essay on "Our Heroes , " received close atten tion , was instructive to the old and young , he- ing full of history and logical thoughts. Miss Pearl Hayes read the "Past , Present and Fut ure Life of the Class , " which was composed of funny jokes as well as good tidings for the class , including herself ; but , she will remain an old maid ( ? ) . The presentation of diplo mas by Philip Gliem was neatly done ; he made the class a very impressive talk , one that will be a guide to them in future studies. The other parts of the evening's entertain ment were well rendered , especially the ladies quartet , composed of Misses Louie Ruby and Sophia Wright and Mrs. Gertie Pate and .Mrs. Pheme Bariteau , who received a hearty cheer from the crowd. You feel better at once after using Ilerbine , you enjoy your food more , and you get more nourishment and invigorating force out of what you eat. Hence Ilerbine makes you strong , vigorous and cheerful. Price , 50 cents. A. McMillen. We pay the highest price for eggs , and they count the same as cash , at the "Bee Hive.
