definition of a trust i s not oxactly
Wobsterian but pretty accurate A
trust is a body of very rich men entirely
surrounded by water
If tjie matter were left to tho news
paper boys Judge Abbott would soon be
at tho helm of tho JIayes Center Repub
lican again Tho expressions of regret
nnd sympathy havo been almost unani
mous in this part of tho state notwith
standing many of tho boys cannot en
dorse some of his political moves of the
past year or two
IIeuks to tho sugar beet may its cul
ture in southwestern Nebraska never
grow less but increase by leaps and
bounds as the years roll on Every
miuor objection should be made secon
dary to tho main issue Sugar beets
can be raised profitably and with cer
tainty in southwestern Nebraska and
overy reasonable eirort should bo made
to secure a factory in the Republican
valley at tho earliest possible dato
We are pleased to note that C E
Eldred of McCook is being highly
spoken of throughout this judicial dis
trict as Judge Norris successor Mr
Eldred is a young man of more than
ordinary ability and would preside with
dignity and be an able successor to
Judge Norris Wo trust that he will
receive tho appointment Trenton
Register
Every now and then you come across
a merchant who says in words or by the
fact that he never advertises that ho
dont believe in advertising that it
dont pay etc But if that same mer
chant could see tho amount of money
that goes into the coffers of the cata
logue houses every month from his own
community he would revise his opinion
about the matter very promptly and at
once commence an advertising campaign
for the purpoee of retaining at homo the
money which now is lost to him and
othors by the non advertising idea
Congkessman electG W Norris has
been in Beaver City yesterday and to
day greeting his many friends and re
ceiving their hearty congratulations for
tho happy result of the recent election
Judge Norris will not resign his position
on the bench until after January 1st
He expects to bo able to visit Washing
ton before the close of the present ses
sion of congress Ho finds that his now
duties will require a large amount of
preparation aud study especially so in
regard to the pension laws and other
matters in which his constituents are
vitally interested Beaver City Tribune
For years the public has been an
noyed beyond measure by tho slow
ancient methods provided by the postal
department for safe transmission of
small sums of money by mail Tho
post check currency system offers a
method that is absolutely safe and as
convenient of execution as paying a
niekle for a cigar Antiquities havo no
place in tho modern business world and
congress should lose no time in passing
the post check currency bill and
give the people all possible benefits of
practicable twentieth century ideas
born of experience and good sense and a
desire to please and accommodate the
public Labor Compendium St Louis
The recommendation of State Supt
Fowler as to state and junior normals
looks good to us More than that it
is a businesslike and sensible suggestion
from one who knows almost as much as
Ross Hammond or Tim Sedgwick about
the matter The Peru normal can never
become on account of its location a
great state institution and is too far
from any where--especially from the
western part of the state where tho
need of normal work is most urgent and
pressing Tho idea of making the loca
tion for a state normal at Kearney is a
good one But best of all is the sug
gestion as to the location of junior
normals to bo open from ten co twelve
weeks and to be located at Alliance and
McCook respectively These institu
tions would be at little expense
to the state compared with the
results which could be achieved for the
teachers of western Nebraska and The
TumuxK hopes on account of the teach
ers of this part of tho state who aro
deprived of the advantages of the schools
oJ the eastern part of the state that the
superintendents suggestion may be fa
vorably at ted upon by the coming legis
lature Our eastern Nebraska friends
are none too generous with western
Nobraska in this matter of schools as
well as in other affairs effecting us but
it is to bo hoped that a more liberal
spirit mav actuate the legislature of the
state in this junior normal matter this
winter

The McCook papers are making a
laudable effort to secure the Summer
Normal of Southwestern Nebraska dur
ing tho coming summer providing one
is held It was a success at Culbortson
last year and if McCook succeeds in
landing tho plum they will have to do
the right thing McCook is all right
but we are afraid she is a little too high
priced for a majority of the teachers
Trenton Register
The Tribune just wants to add a word
to the above which in the main is cor
rect We favor McCook over our neigh
bor on the west simply because of the
superior advantages of this place thats
all These advantages are evident to all
Culbertson had us on tho hip last sea
son by reason of lower rates than could
be secured here This j ear it is expect
ed that this only objection may be re
moved and that rates relatively as low
as Culbertson gave last year can be se
cured here Some of the rates of last year
it will be recalled were way below cost
and it was not practicable to carry ou t the
agreement The object this coming
year should be to secure a fair rate
which can bo fulfilled And McCook
must do that thing The institute must
be here

The Tribune does not have as many
opportunities of endorsing the utterances
of the Indianola Reporter as it would
like to have but the following strikes us
as being such eminently good sense that
wo hasten to endorse it without tho aid
or consent of Hinky Dink
The court houst at McCook will have
to be finished and furnished and it would
be better for the county commissioners
to sell the old court house and use the
proceeds for that purpose as far as they
will go In times past we havo regarded
the old pile of brick on the hdl side with
a great deal of admiration but it no
longer affords us pleasure to gaze there
on Uncle Heury Crabtreo and the
editor of the Reporter planned it and
built it and we took our pay in town lots
It was never a beautv but it was stout
and will stand a hundred years but its
ilav of usefulness has nassed avtv n we
say to the commissioners with Uncle
Henrys consent sell it tear it
down or burn it up We dort like it
any more Commissioner Reddy has an
opportunity to serve the people of Indi
anola a good turn Do it Maurice
Nepotism will be severely jarred on
the Missouri Pacific system January
1st when tho order will go into effect
that no officer can havo in his office or
directly subordinate to him any relative
Among those the order will effect in
Omaha are the brother of the general
freight agent tho general superinten
dents father the general passenger
agents brother-in-law etc
Western Nebraska will have a beet
sugar factory just as soon as there are
enough beets raised in this part of the
state to run a factory The quickest
way to get a factory doubtless is to
raise tho beets The factory will never
bo built on paper or by wind It takes
a carload of dollars to build one and
thousands of tons of beets to make a
profitable seasons run
The coolness existing between Colonel
Etherton of the Bartley Inter Ocean
and Colonel Hinky Dink of the Indian
ola Taffy Belt is said by entirely disin
terested citizens of Indianola to be
clearly chargeable to a recent allusion
to an abnormal pair of ears in connec
tion with a certain convocation Hinky
is charged with involuntarilv braying

The isoj That God Hade
The normal boy was the subject of an
address Sunday evening in the Metho
dist church by Prof Steidley field sec
retary of the Nebraska Inter Denomina
tional Sunday School Work before a
joint audience of members and friends
of the Methodist Baptist and Congre
gational churches Tho speakers plea
was for more natural teaching and train
ing of the youth in the Sunday Schools
for better equipped teachers and im
proved up to date methods for graded
schools and for a more intelligent un
derstanding of the boy the child life
and the laws of its development It is
proposed to conduct institutes through
out Nebraska for the study of the Bible
and better methods of teaching its
lessons to the young This work was
presented by the field secretary in a
direct sensible and businesslike manner
in an entertaining and thoughtful ad
dress He brought a message to the
churches of the city in the religious
training of tho young which they can
not well afford to pass over lightly but
which should be heeded and in many
particulars should be put into active
practice
Prof Steidley occupied the Congrega
tional pulpit in the morning delivering
an excellent sermon along his line
speaking to the text Wherewithal
shall a young man cleanse his ways
It was well worth the hearing
The professor remained here a few
days first of this week and s ucceeded
by personal effort in interesting a num
ber of our citizens in the work in a fi
nancial manner

Was the Engineer Asleep in His Cab
Fireman Morrell was killed in a wreck
on the southern division of the Burling
ton Tuesday night at Table Rock
The accident occurred at 830 oclock
Freight trains Nos 229 and 226 both
extras met in a head on collision on
the main track in the railroad yards
the engines of both trains being badly
damaged little injury was sustained by
the freight cars According to the
Burlington officials in Lincoln the indi
cations are that the wreck was caused
by one on the engineers being asleep
although further investigation may dis
prove this belief As Table Rock is on
the southern division only meagre re
ports were received at the Lincoln Lead
quarters An investigation will follow
as soon as the parties concerned can be
brought before the superintendent
It is said that Morrell the man who
was killed claimed Table Rock as his
home When in Lincoln he boarded at
the Arlington hotel The collision has
blocked the track and tho wrecker has
been sent to clear away tho debris

Will Extend Passing Tracks
The Burlington will build between
forty and fifty miles of passing tracks in
Nebraska next season During the
past year the company has built about
fourteen miles of passing tracks- many
of them on the western division of the
road Next year this work will bo ex
tended to other divisions and three or
four times as many miles will be built
The need of longer passing tracks has
been felt during the rush of traffic now
on and the necessity for better facilities
for getting trains by each other has
often been shown by delajs Thi work
will cost many thousands of dollars
The Burlington was built when traf
fic was light and trains were neither
lengthy nor numerous said a Burling
ton man yesterday When tho rush
of traffic came we found that we were
not entirely prepared to receive it Our
passing tracks wero too short for the
long trains The extension of the pass
