Official Paper of Redwillow County
By F M KIMMELL
Largest Circulation in Red Willow Co
Subscription 1 a Year in Advance
ONLY FIVE CENTS EXTRA
Nebraska has subject to call for duty
in time of war 119755 citizens Of this
total Red Willow county has l312or 7
3 per cent of its total population The
population of the states is given 1068539
Hayes county owes the state 8100889
orr account of keeping insane patient
There is duo tho state from thevarious
delinquent counties of Nebraska con
siderably over one hundred thousand
dollars for that purpose alone
The relative importance of the trans
portation question to the tariff is lucidly
illustrated by the figures given out by
tho Interstate Commerce Commission
and the Treasury Department The im
port duties collected during the three
years from 1893 to 1900 inclusive aggre
gated 581001542 The freightearnings
of the railroads of America for tho same
period were S284303S2S7 It will bo
seen that the traffic had to bear a few
It doesnt seom to The Tribune to be
of any importance what amount or per
cent of taxes others pay in Nebraska
The question is simply are the railroads
of Nebraska paying on the basis of one
fifth on an honest and equitable valua
tion Thats all More than that
should not be exacted Less than that
should not be received They are en
titled to the same- square deal that is
due any corporation or any citizen and
the same methods of enforcing the col
lecting of deliquent taxes should obtain
in their cases as in tho case of the poor
st and humblest individual citizen

A BELATED EXPLANATION
Ho Wanted Bees Stlngrs For Rhexi
mntlHiu but Not For Himself
An Innocent looking German boy
walked Into a drug store the other day
and faced the proprietor
Haf you got somebees stings for
rheumatisms he shyly inquired
Bees stings for rheumatism the
proprietor repeated Where did you
hear of that
Why muther vas reatlng it by de j
newsbapers replied the lad
The proprietor laughed
Ive seen something of that kind in
the papers he said but I wont at
tempt to offer you anything just as
good Where is the rheumatism
In de handt und in de arm the boy
replied
Well see here said the proprietor
with a sudden smile I havent got
the cure on my shelves but I keep it
in my back yard You go out through
this door and walk around my flower
beds When you see four or five bees
resting on a flower just try to pick
them up
The boy nodded and went out He
was gone at least ten minutes
When he came back his face was red
and his nose where an angry bee had
alighted was beginning to swell He
held out his hand
I picked me some of dose bees oop
he placidly remarked
Did you said the amused proprie
tor And does your hand feel any
better
The boy looked up
It aindt for me he placidly re
plied its for my bruder Cleveland

with a roar of despair and between
his sobs said to the teacher

Once there were two little grapes
One was a good little grape and mind

little grape One day tho bad little
grape disobeyed his mother and rolled

all the little grape could do was to give
the little boy a stomach ache The
good little grape was eaten by a rich
man and It gave him a nice case of

NAPOLEON AND DANGER
tllllrayH Striking Cartoon Which

The dangers which threatened Napo
leon in the opening years of the nine

in one of the most striking of all his
cartoons the Valley of the Shadow of
Death which was issued Sept 24
1808 The valley is the valley of Buii

ceeding timorously down a treacherous
path hounded on either side by the wa

of flame From every side horrors are
springing up to assail him The British
Hon raging and furious is springing at
his throat The Portuguese wolf has
broken his chain King Death mount

breed has cleared at a bound the body
of the ex King Joseph which has been
thrown Into the ditch of Styx Death
is poising his spear with fatal aim
warningly holding up at the same time
his hourglass with the sand exhausted
flames follow his course From the
smoke rise the figures of Junot and
Dupont the beaten generals The pa
pal tiara Is descending as a Roman
meteor charged with lightnings to
blast the Corsican The Turkish new
moon is seen rising in blood The
spirit of Charles XII rises from the
flames to avenge the wrongs of Swe

emerging from a cloud the Prussian
bird appears as a scarecrow making
desperate efforts to fly and screaming
revenge From the Lethean ditch the
American rattlesnake is thrusting
forth a poisoned tongue The Dutch
frogs are spitting out their spite and
the Rhenish confederation is personi

INDIANS AND TROLLEY CARS
Insatiable Curiosity Caused a Lons
List of Casualties
When the trolley system was install
ed In Mexico City tho native Indians
apart from their Avondermeut as to
what unseen force propelled the cars
were anxious to test the new power
They began by trying to stop the car
with their hands and later with their
heads and bodies until the list of cas
ualtiesbecaine great
Then a brilliant idea struck them
They had often been to bullfights and
at certain of these had watched a pe
culiar opening ceremony which origi
nated in Mexico and later was intro
duced into Spain Before the bull is
set loose in the arena a man clothed in
white from head to foot poses as a
statue in the center of the ring His
face and hair are whitened and he
stands without a movement or a flutter
of clothing or anything that would
tend to show that he is alive
When the bull is released he first
sniffs tho air and makes a mad rush
for the pedestal Getting quite close
he stops and snorts gazing at the fig
ure Seeing no movement he gradual
ly retires backward in amazement His
attention is then ottracted by others
and the man escapes
The Indians decided to try this on
the cars Dressing themselves in white
and putting flour on their faces and
hair they would stand motionless in tho
middle of the car tracks facing the
coming monster
There were many ambulance calls
before they learned the difference be
tween a bull and a trolley car Detroit

True Laziness
Have something to do
Dont do it
Get somebody else to do It
Watch him do it
Convince yourself that you could
have done it ever so much better if it
had been worth while
Rest from your labors
Do the thing that has to bo done as
leisurely as possible More haste less
speed Do it well so that you wont
have to do It again Avail yourself of
all labor saving devices Invent some
Rest Never do today that which
may be done as well tomorrow for to
morrow you may not need to do it
This advice is not new but it Is worth

Sunset In tlic Canyons
In the deep canyons ono is soon over
taken by night Indeed in some of
these intricate pathways the work of
aqueous erosion the sunlight if it en
ters at all stays but a few moments
As the sun goes down the changes that
are marshaled on are singularly beauti
ful The vivid green tints of the chap
airal so brilliant at midday begin to
fade and assume a deep purple over
which a delicate silvery mist imper
ceptibly draws its veil On it creeps
the royal tint becoming more intense
until suddenly It takes on a fiery glow
and over all the slopes there plays n
roseate light the warm good night of
