OUTING SHOES-

.It.

long ago seemed as thoughshoes could never be better andnever be cheaper , but they arebetter now and cheaper now thanthey ever were before. The greatevery day favorite is our men'sand ladies' shoe. It is as much aboon to the pocketbook as it is tothe feet. It won't wear you outto vear it out. You don't need totake care of it ; it takes care of-

itself. . It will give you solid com-fort

¬

for the simple reason that abetter shoe for knockabout pur-poses

¬

has never been produced-.If

.

prices never appealed to youbefore , the price of this shoe will ,

for it costs only §250. It willlook nicer and wear longer thanany shoe on earth.

A SCRAPER.[From the Indianola Courier. ]

Some of the boys are much worriedover Mi. Sheridan's scraper deal. Theythink it will IOHU him votes.

Now wo take an altogether differentview of this mutter. Mr. Sheridan busnever told his most intimate independ-ent

¬

lieutenant that he came to thiscountry for his health , but wholly onaccount of comfort which moneybrings. And who is more able to con-

tribute¬

to Mr. Sheridan's comfort thanthe county of Red Willow , and whatcould be more becoming of a corpora-tion

¬

cursor than that he should singleout some corporation , municipal orprivate , and in the same name and bythe authority of the people's partymake it disgorge some of its hoardedwealth. Mr. Dodge , the financial en-

cyclopedia¬

of the independent party,was working the railroad for an annualpass in the interest of reform , and wecan therefore see no good reason whyMr. Sheridan should not charge thecounty a good 200 per cent on roadscrapers.

There may be some obstreperousindividual who will claim that this iseven worse than the banks that charge3 per cent a month , but the two areentirely dissimilar. The banker iseither a democrat or a republican. Mr.Sheridan is a reformer. The bankused the gold bug dollar, Mr. Sheridanused the fiat , i. e. his individual creditwith the wholesale house. In otherwords Mr. Sheridan did the businessfor both the county and the scrapercompany.

The scraped and unvarnished factsare these : About the first of JulyCommissioner Young ordered of Mr.Sheridan 12 road scrapers. On the 16-

of July Mr. Sheridan furnished thecounty the aforesaid scrapers. Fourweeks later , August 12 , he filed hisclaim in the following words andfigures :

'The county of Red Willow in ac-

count¬

with I. A. Sheridan ,

July 161892. Dr.12 Columbus lload Scrapers at $16

each $ 19300Discount for cash 1920

$1728-0I , I. A. Sheridan , being duly sworn ,

do depose and say that the above ac-

count¬

is just and correct and that theamount claimed is wholly unpaid afterallowing all just credits.-

I.

.

. A. SHERIDAN. "

Later on the county wanting somemore road scrapers , CommissionerBelles was instructed to purchasethem. This time Mr. Will LaTourette ,

of McCook , a republican , was giventhe order. October 7 he filed his claimin the following words and figures :

"The county of Red Willow in ac-

count¬

with W. C. LaTourette ,

Dr.12 Columbus lload Scrapers at 0.00

each S 7920-Mo discount for cash.This claim was allowed on the 7th-

inst. . and then Commissioner Younginterviewed Mr. Sheridan. It is saidthat Sam was so evenly balanced on hisear that he declared that when it cameto furnishing road scrapers he didn'tknow a reformer from a republican.After thinking the matter over forthree or fear days the independentleader marched up to the court houseand refunded 8880. And so afterall Mr. Sheridan only gets 40 centsper scraper more than LaTourette.And this of course is caused by theMcKinley bill-

.We.

propose to stand right by Mr.Sheridan in this matter and accept anyexplanation he may choose to make asthe true and bottom facts.

The railroad probably charged Mr.Sheridan more freight than it did La-

Tourette.¬

. The Columbus ScraperCompany charged him just double theprice and we have no hesitancy in say-

ing¬

that Treasurer Henton shouldnever have accepted the money thatSheridan returned to the county.-

Mr..

. Sheridan is in no position to beposted on the price of hardware ,

especially an article that fluctuates likeroad scrapers.-

COLVIN

.

HAS THE SACKS.

Now Let the Farmers RespondWith the Grain.

S. H. Colvin informs us that he hasreceived 100 sacks in which to place

Red Willow county's exhibit ofsmall grain for the World's Fair , andhe desires us to urge upon the farmersof this county the importance of re-

sponding¬

promptly to the request fortheir best samples of small grain forsuch exhibit , of course only the bestand purest samples are desired. Thoseof our farmers who have meritoriousproducts of the farm and are willing togive samples for this laudable objectshould report to Mr. Colvin at once-

.He.

will give all the requirementsand particulars. And we urge promptaction , hoping many farmers willanswer this request for assistance toplace Red Willow county's attractionsproperly before the world.

THE TRIBUNE is pained to learn thedeath of Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Trow-bridge's
