No apparent effort has been made SO
far by the states attorney of Meade
county to prosecute the murderers of
the old Indian chief Few Tails, which
occurred in this county early in Janu-
ary, near the mouth of Alkali. Mr.. Nc
Call excuses himself for his dilatoriness
by saying that he does not want to put
the county to the expense ,of prescott
ing the case and that he demands and
expects the department of justice at
Washington to have special appropri
alton made to assist in bringing the
guilty ones to justice. There is. very
popular belief that Mr. Mccall is over
stepping his authority in allowing the
the matter to drag along to prevent max
ing bill Of expense 10 the county.
This course is a reflection upon the good
name of the Hills and the intelligence of
the law abiding citizens of the communi-
ty. The ADVERTISER expresses the SEN
timent of-ths people when it demands
that the murderers be given prelimin-
airy hearing, if they can be found, and
thus remove the stigma that now rests
upon Meade county by reason of the ap-
parent indifference with which this case
fast assuming national Importance
is being handled. ~ ..,s x

copp's Settlers Guide Revised.

Henry n. Gupp; the Washington d.
@. land lawyer, has revised and re-
printed his Settlers Guide, the seven
tenth edition. In view of the recent
confusing Legislation of congress, this
book is an Indispensable assistant for all
who are, or expect to be, interested in
public land. Settlers will save money
by purchasing it, and all who expect to
take up land any time in the future
should get posted and save expensive
mistakes. A chapter, illustrated with
numerous cuts, shows how to tell town.
ship, section and quarter section corners
and explains the system of surveys. Tt
gives full information about the home
stead, presumption, timber culture, desert
land, and other laws. The price of the
book is Is cents. Address the author.
1t will tell yon who. is entitled to enter
land; how continuous your residence
must be; what improvements you must
make; what affidavits you must swear to;
about contests and on what grounds they
can be commenced; also suggestions
about state lands, stone and timber
lands, desert entries, saline, railroad,
coal, townsite and other lands It's pur-
chase will save you money and trouble,
as erroneous statements circulated by
conversation among settlers may, il
acted upon, cost you a contest, perhaps
your land and improvements.

DIED.


FosTER.-Died at Clarks on March 5. 1891, Mrs.
Isabella Foster. aged So years. months and IL
days.
Mrs. Foster was born in Bradford,
Yorkshire, England, November 21, 1926.
She crossed the ocean with her
husband in 1862. They settled in Ill
inois; remaining there until 1871, when
they came to Merrick county, Nebraska.
In her young girlhood she gave her
heart to God and has ever been a de-
voted christian and faithful worker in
the Methodist Episcopal church. Being
among our early settlers, every one
knew the dear one and while she made
no attempt to shine in society she was a
shining light in the church and has left
on earth the record of al honest, chris
tian life and gone to her reward in the
mansion above. She was also for years
member of the w. G. T. o., and the
union can never loose another one truer
to its first principles than she was. And
she left many true friends and aching
hearts here outside the bereaved family.
Mrs. Barnes her daughter Nary is
PROSTATE with grief and entirely incon-
solable that she could not get here be-
fore the end; but the God that bindeth
up the broken hearts, we pray, will COM
fort the sorrowing ones in His own good
time.-Clarks (Neb. Chronicle.

MAKE THE TEST OF PRICES.

BY the way does anybody find any
evidence in merchants advertisements or
at their counters that prices have ad-
vanced? Now is good time to test the
matter. The new tariff law is beginning
to show its effects. The Journal refers
to the Mckinley law-the "robber tar
if, - "the infamous Mckinley tariff law
and the law about which the democratic
organs were filling'up their columns for
months with pretended predictions. It
is the law which they declared would
bring about the robbery and oppression
of the people. All reading people ought
now to recall some of the things that the
democratic organs were saying few
months ago when political campaign
was pending. But it will suffice here to
say, in brief, that the representation then
made was the certainty of vast rise of
prices to follow the new tariff as its di-
rect effect. For months columns were
daily filled with lists of articles which
everybody has to buy, and giving pre-
tended figures in each case showing
enormous increases in price. Especial y
was it asserted that the increase of prices
would.be great in the cases of all articles
which are OF common consumption, and
which the poor must have. No pains
were spared to create the impression that
there was a deliberate plot on the part Of
the republican party to ''rob" the poor
to ''rob the laboring man and the
farmer. And so the democratic organs
made complications of all the articles
which these classes must buy, all theil
food and clothing supplies, all Their
tools, all their machinery, all their nee.
essary supplies Of all kinds, and then
proceeded to allege prodigious increases
in the cost of these things to the con.
sumer. They constructed long lists Of
pretended percentages of increase, rang
ing from % up to hundreds, and said
.There is the way the republican party
will be robbing you with it's tariff al
soon as the same goes into effect
Well, the s'robber tariff" is now in effect
1t has been in effect for months, except
as to few rates which need not be taker
into the account. The ssinfamy" Of tht
Mckinley law is today in actual process
OF exhibition. Its enormities are being
perpetrated upon the people. Accord
ingly now is good time for q sufferine
public to investigate and measure up th'
crime that has been committed agains
it. The Journal calls attention to thu
matter because there j. danger that th'
| general public might otherwise forge

Reciprocity with Brazil is soon to be
put to practical test. The plan is
to send three American steamers TO Bra
I'll laden with almost every known pro-
duct of this country. It is distinctive
ly Boston idea, and no less than a
score of the capitalists in that city are
interested in the scheme to increase
American trade in the Southern Repub-
lie. New Workers, and those in other
cities who wish to take part in the enter
prise, viii be permitted to do SO, but
promoters expect to have the ''ground
foor' profits and to push their own
special lines The scheme has assumed
vast proportions and all plans are ex-
pected to be perfected SO that the ex-
petition will start during the latter part
OF April or the first week in May for Rio
Janerio. Arrangements are being made
to rent some large building in Rio for
exhibition purposes and the samples will
be showed here first, The plan, after
visiting Rio Janerio, is to take the SAM
piles to the other coast cities of Brazil,
and it may be that Buenos Ayres and
other cities of South America will also
have an opportunity to view the exhibit.
Large sales and vastly increased COM
merce between this country and Brazil
is expected from this movement, especi-
ally in the products which are admitted
by reciprocity treaty.

OF the many valuable improvements

pens, great part are due to the skill
and persistence Of Mr.. L. e. Dunlap, Of
Boston, who, as pioneer in this BUSH
ness, has spent the last decade in perfect
ing the fountain pen that bears his name.
The latest perfected invention is the
Dunlap double-feed pen, and in this
very double-feed lies the secret of its
success.
III carries a sixteen karat diamond
pointed gold pen, and is perfect pocket
companion that will not only prove in
dispensable, but JOY and blessing as
long as life lasts. 1t is guaranteed to
write instantly, always and under all
circumstances. TO introduce it among
the readers of this paper, the manufac-
