Tfa jtttwk Jnhnyh M KIMMELL OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER Largest Circulation in Red Willow Co Subscription 1 a Year in Advance And Bonvor City has a Womans Suf frage Jlub Holy smoke Fletcher AeconDiNG to the Lincoln Journal the railroads of Nebraska have placed the pooplo of Nebraska under everlasting obligation again by relieving their chosen servants of all tho worry and labor of organizing tho legislature And they did it too with all tho disinterestedness of a chicken eating sow in a lot of goslings The Tribune has occasion to believe that no crop can excel tho sugar beet crop for profit in this part of Nebraska If any one can call to mind any product of tho soil that can secure a prompt and ready market at a cash price that will exceed tho sugar beet we have spaco for the facts And then we can raise the sugar beets with every reasonable cer tainty and we cant say as much about many other crops Tho sugar beet bus iness at its worst is a good thing and should be pushed along There are eomo aggravating drawbacks but the profit side of tho ledger shows favorably on the side of tho farmer producing them provided the producer is not afraid of work The twenty fifth annual meeting of the Nebraska State Historical Society will meet in Lincoln January 13th and 14th 1903 commencing at eight oclock sharp in the evening in Memorial hall of the state university The -Nebraska Territorial Pioneers Association will meet in Memorial Chapel Wednesday January 14 at 2 oclock p m for social reminiscences and election of officers The Nebraska State Horticultural So ciety will meet in morning and afternoon session January 13th 14th and 15th in Nebraska Hall University Campus A supper and social meeting for members of the above societies and their visiting friends has been arranged for 6 oclock p m Wednesday January 14th at the Lindell hotel Tickets at hotel 50c Tho public is cordially invited to attend these sessions Those having valuable information on subjects to be discussed are urged to be present and those pos sessing valuable historical relics are urged to bring or send them for presen tation at tho meetings Napoleon said that God is omthe side of the strongest battalion and tho good book says that God helps those who help themselves which The Tribune translates to mean that those who will win in an avocation of life must help themselves must bend their best energies toward making a success of any thing they undertake be it in busi ness in professional life or on the farm or in the shop In a word the success ful winning man must not be afraid of work even hard work And the less time he devotes ofhisshortand valuable allowance on earth to fault finding and kicking generally and tho more he hustles the greater will be his measure of success and the fatter his bank-account Now then for the application The Tribune imagines that our farmers have not had all the best of it the last season in the production of sugar beets that is there have been some things not quite satisfactory and clear in a measure due to the fact that we are removed from the factory it would be much better if the beets could be delivered direct to the factory perhaps But under all the circumstances the facts are that those who have shipped beets from McCook and -vicinity have made a very fair profit more than those who raised corn wheat or any other product of the soil We make bold to say that the farmer who does not increase his acreage of beets next season will not act wisely nor in the interest of bis pocket book There are disadvantages in all lines of business but the profit side othe sugar beet raising business is way above all its drawbacks Push it along Increase the acreage and pro duction There is money in it It will increase the valuo of jour land Its a good thing

Neb Jan 6 1903 Special to The Tribune 1902 was a prosperous year for the Orleans and St Francis branch favored with a heavy wheat crop very healthy alfalfa harvest a good showing in live stock poultry and various products the farmers have bank accounts in their fa vorandthemercbants never did a more prosperous business The Burlingtons traffic in hauling wheat and merchandise has been a record breaker Trains arrived daily at Orleans with 1000 tons of wheat and extras had to relieve the over burdened regulars to raise the wheat blockade This was the situation until the great demand for coal cars to relieve the eastern coal famine with Colorado coal sent the box cars eastward and today a large amount of choice wheat is in the farmers granaries from Orleans to St Francis Herndon Kansas has the proud dis tinction of being the banner district for winter wheat in all Kansas Three fields yielded between 50 and GO bushels per acre and of a quality that makes the miller glad Grain men from Kansas City and other points have been making the line and the competition has been close The winter wheat crop of the St Francis branch this year has seldom been equaled and never surpassed Marked improvements are seen along the valley harbingers of prosperity and wealth Powell Nilsson have erected an up-to-date grain elevator at Marion the youngest child of the family of the St Francis stations Dryden Pew has buiit a splendid twostory modern brick at Wilsonville arid the Masonic brethren have a first class hall above his new drug store E C Parker is building a double two story brick on the south Wilson ville is growing Along the valley the thrifty farmers are building large red barns and substan tial dwellings alfalfa live stock and wheat the trinity of success that has made this branch famous has brought forth these blessings and made the prac tical farmers independent with a good bank account surrounded with evidences of thrift that is the backbone of national prosperity The heavy snows that fell a few weeks ago covers the ground and winter wheat is in prime condition Hon W B Lockwood member elect from Cheyenne county Kansas starts for Toneka next veek for the tlir Mr Lnnkwnnrt is the first rfinnh 1 Engineer H lican elected from Cheyenne county in ten years He is a banker stock raiser and farmer and will make a good rep resentative Lena Beck Weds A pretty wedding occurred at the home of Mrs C W Beck of University Place on New Years day at noon when Miss Lena Beck and Gustave W Dishong were united in marriage by Rev W J Crago The house was tastefully decorated in white and green and red hearts As the bridal party entered the room the brides sister sang All for You and during the ceremony the strains of the Flower Song vi brated softly through the rooms Mrs Davis Evans sister of the groom was bridesmaid and John C Beck brother of the bride acted as best man A dainty three courso luncheon was served The bride was dressed in sheer white with point lace and carried white roses The young people received many pretty gifts They have gone east on a short wedding trip Sundays Journal Destruction Was Practically Complete Speaking of the accident at Cambridge Wednesday of last week the Clarion says the destruction was practically complete The team killedbelonged to Ralph Ed wards who had narrow escape from death himself Both horses were killed one of them being thrown about fifty feet into the tender of a switch engine standing on a siding the other being carried under the engine about a quarter of a mile and ground to pieces The wagon and harness were utterly smashed and cut to pieces Edwards loss is placed at 320000 Responsibility Makes Heroes The average man is really tho standard by which socioty must bo judged in 1903 A D Taking him as tho standard this wicked old human race is pretty good after all The old year wont out with plenty of evidences of it Tho wrongs that tho old year be queathed to the new year the miseries that will continuo in 1903 are not so much because men willfully create them as becauso tho average man does not feel responsible for them Responsibility is tho tremendous fac tor in this world It transforms ordinary men into George Washingtons and Abra ham Lincolns The Post recently told the story of a man named C A Marooney who hap- psned to bo the fireman on Engine 59 drawing Burlington express No 2 speeding eastward from Denver Marooney is a specimen of the great mass of tho people who say thoughtlessly but really meaning it A Happy New Year They do not feel called upon to do anything in particular to make anybody happy but their friends and families But responsibility makes a wonderful transformation The ordinary man con fronted with tho lives and happiness of others actually depending on his nerve and courage on his self sacrifice does what Marooney did The train was approaching Cuibertson Neb at a speed of sixty miles an hour when a pipe broke overwhelming tho engineer and fireman with a cataract of boiling water and steam The engineer was knocked down and suddenly the young fireman Marooney realized that tho lives of the passengers depended upon his hand Tennysons famous lines about the charge of the Light Brigade eulogized the heroes of England thus Theirs was not to reason why Theirs but to do and die But Marooneys part was to reason why and then do or die Blinded scalded frantic with pain Marooney resolutely stepped into the spouting death by steam and set the air brakes and stopped the train When millions of Marooneys realize that theirs is the responsibility they will not only say but act to make A Happy New Year for this old world every year Ed Fruin is here on a visit W A Colling is coming bacK from Cheyenne Engine 73 has been sent to
