OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER

PRESIDENT FAURE of the Frenchrepublic died in Paris on the nighof the 16th , of apoplexy.

AUDITOR CORNELL is perhapssorry now that he dispensed withDeputy Lichty's invaluable ser¬

vices. Or , is he more sorry tha-he didn't fire him before he did''

THE first anniversary of the de-

struction¬

of the Maine was celebra-ted by the navy department by thelaying of the keel of the new aucgreater battleship of that name.

THE vote on United States sena-tor , yesterday , showed no changein the situation. A caucus is nowclaimed to be in sight. An effor-

is being made to secure both anopen and a secret bailot , to meethe emergency.-

IT

.

is suggestive how anxioussome people are that no open bal-

lot be taken in the election of theK-

I

U. S. senator from this state. I-

is not really very important , any-way

¬

, as the boodlers are pretty weU-

known. . No honest man need ob-

ject to casting his vote in the openusual way, and those objecting nat-urally

¬

place themselves under SUB

I picion and it will not be easy toremove that suspicion.

STATE AUDITOR CORNELL founcthat the auditor's office was nolarge enough to accommodate twostatesmen of the calibre of himsel :

and Insurance Deputy Lichty , ancinvited Samuel to take a sneak , orwords to that effect. On the fail-ure of the deputy to take the hintMr. Lichty was thrown over thetransom and peace and harmonynow reign in the auditor's officewhere erstwhile were war and dis-

cord¬

; and the auditor will conductthe business of his office to suilhimself in the future with the as-

sistance¬

of J. J. Everingham. Mr-

.Lichty.

will still not ride on a pass.-

IT

.

affords THE TRIBUNE pleasureto aid and abet to the extent of itsability , the effort now being madeby Holdrege and its friends in thelegislature to secure the passage ol-

a bill establishing a state normalschool at Holdrege. The citizensof Holdrege have guaranteed thenecessary site for the purpose anda bill has been introduced in thelegislature asking the establish-ment

¬

of such an institution at thaicity. That such an educationalinstitution is needed in this partof Nebraska goes without the say-

ing¬

, as the entire western andsouthwestern part of the common-wealth

¬

is absolutely unrepresented-in this respect. And that Holdrege-is a proper place for such an in-

stitution¬

, geographically and as torailroad facilities and all that sortof thing is equally true. Theclaims of Holdrege for recognitionin this matter are strong andreasonable. We hope that successmay crown their efforts.

THE new senator from Indiana ,

Albert J. Beveridge , is an out-and-out Greater American. The fol-

lowing¬

gem is from a speech de-

livered¬

by him at a luncheon givenby the Union League of Philadel-phia

¬

:

"The republic never retreats. Itsflag is the only flag that has neverknown defeat. Where that flagleads we follow , for we know thatthe hand that bears it onward isthe unseen hand of God. We fol-

low¬

the flag and independence is-

ours. . We follow the flag andnationality is ours. We followthe flag and the oceans are ruled.-

We.

follow the flag and , in Occidentand orient , tyranny falls and bar-

baiism-

is subdued. We follow theflag at Trenton and Yalley Forge ,

at Saratoga and upon the crimsonseas , at Buena Vista and Chapul-tepec

-, at Gettysburg and Mission

Eidge , at Santiago and Manila ,

and everywhere and always itmeans larger liberty , nobler oppor-

tunity¬

and greater human happi-ness

¬

for everywhere and always itmeans the blessings of the greaterrepublic. And so God leads , we

follow the flag , and the republicnever retreats."

count¬

of the tendency of most peo-

ple¬

to buy coal rather than costlypaper with the flower and celluloidattachments. A. B. Wilson is theonly one on record who receivedan expensive one, but this may beexplained by the fact that is re-

ported¬

as here.-

The trial of Oliver Bush forshooting Samuel Bryan occurredin McCook , Wednesday , and aftera few hours' deliberation the juryreturned. a verdict of guilty ofshooting with intent to kill , at thesame time recommending the judge0 be lenient in sentencing thejrisoner. Bush was called to re-

seive-

sentence at the beginning of-

he afternoon session , Thursday ,

and no doubt was rudely jarred toearn that the judge considered

;hree years at hard labor a fittingeward for his rashness. He hasittle sympathy in this community ,

and it is hoped the lesson will be1 profitable one both to Bush andlis associates.

-

in regard to Pe-ru-na : "I es-

lecially-

appreciate Pe-ru-na athis season when I am liable to

colds , coughs , and other catarrhalaffections. Pe-ru-na is such anadmirable medicine for these corn-jlaints

-that I shall not fail to

make free use of it whenever theslightest symptom of cold annoysme. All people of my professionhave a great dread of a cold , ns itgenerally entirely disables themfrom their duties. The nctor de-

pends¬

so much upon the clearnessof voice that a cough or cold is anunmitigated calamity-

."I.

am told by members of myprofession that Pe-ru-na is a re-

liable¬
