The Wind Storm.

Saturdays wind storm was INT of the
heaviest felt here in years. However,
with the exception of Douglass green
house, which was totally destroyed
being a very frail building-no particu-
lar damage was occasioned. Water
closets we're tossed about somewhat pro-
m~iscuously, and numerous minor dam
ages caused which busted the carpenters,
GLACIERS and timers the early days of this
week.
Out in the country wind mills and
sheds of a non-substantial character were
sport for the playful zephyrs.
Up at Palisade the results were more
serious: The town hall, a building 25x
SO and two stories high. was entirely
wrecked, ]. T. Billiards. lumber yard
considerably damaged-about one-half
of his shedding being demolished.
George E. Johnston's mill at gilbert
son was partially unroofed, and the cor
nice of a new building there was blown
of.
All around the damage was but nomi-
nal-the discomfort Unreasonable.

ASK More Liberal Treatment.

]. z. Barnes post, which has recently
been recognized, with a membership of
about forty, is in pretty much the same
unfortunate financial condition that
other societies have to combat. Perhaps
more SO. Heretofore the post has paid
about 500 annually for hall rent. But
they now find it hard to raise money
enough for that purpose, and are anxious
to secure concessions in this respect.
They at p.esent have no regular meet
ing place.
The post desires to arrange for meet
ings every Saturday afternoon especially
for the accommodation of country MEM
bers, in addition to the regular meet
ings of the post.
They hope this year to make Decora-
ton Day an occasion to be remembered
with pride. Rev. Mcbride will deliver
the address on the occasion. Besides it
is hoped that the public school children
will cooperate in these exercises, as last
year.
These matters will require more 1iber-
al treatment toward the post by our
people than has been given it of late. and
THE TRIBUNE has been requested to
make this plea for them. Think it over,
good citizens!

A Little Deceiver.

It cannot be called a little fraud, as ii
is of too great value and is not to blame
for being misused.
Vick's New Branching Aster when cut
resembles the chrysanthemum so closely
that only experts al tell the difference,
and as it comes into flower six weeks
before the "mums," and at a time when
flowers are scarce. it is a great tempta-
ton to the florist to sell these asters for
"mums." The branching aster can be
easily grown out doors, and the seeds
cost only rs cents per packet, so that
every person who has a foot of ground
car enjoy a grand treat for almost moth
ing.
IF you want honest goods send ten
cents to James Vick's Sons, Rochester.
N. Y, for Floral Guide, it costs nothing
as the 10 cents may be deducted from
first order.

Perhaps never in the history ofmodern
journalism has any newspaper gained
% rapidly in public favor as the Chicago
Inter Ocean. Within the past two years
it has, by adopting progressive methods
and injecting push and enterprise in all
its departments forced itself into the very
front ranks of great Chicago newspapers.
That this popularity is deserved is be-
yond question. The publisher during
this time, Mr.. n. H. Kohlsaat, has
spared neither expense nor effort to at
tain his ideal-and he has succeeded.
Uncompromisingly republican on all
national issues. The Inter Ocean does
battle for what it believes to be the true

HIS CUT.
Red Willow County Man Plays Into
the Hands of Sharpers.

HASTINGS, Neb. March ro.-[Special.
Mason Saunders of Mccook is the latest
victim in this section Of the green goods
swindlers. The old gentleman, who is
about sixty years of age, arrived in Has
tings last evening and called at the
Adams sxpress Office for a package ship
ped to him from New York city. This
morning he returned the package to the
Office with the statement that he had
been swindled. Examination of the box
showed its contents to be a number of
small pine blocks and an ordinary brick,
all neatly packed in paper.
A little quizzing brought ont the old
mans story. He had gone TO New
York in answer to circulars and cores
pondence, with the conviction that he
was to become suddenly rich by coming
into possession of large amount of the
new Currency for a small exchange of
hard earned cash he had been saving
for rainy days. He left McCook a week
ago Friday, and going directly to New
York made his purchase. paying the
sharpers $2oo for $3,5ooo of crisp new bills
which he watched them count out, put
in the box and take to the express Office,
where it was addressed and billed to
him at this place. He had barely enough
money to reach Hastings and is here now
without a cent. The old gentleman is
heartbroken over his experience, but
thinks that he will some day be able to
get ever with the men who swindled
him.-Lincoln Journal.

Thinks he Has Struck 1t.

R. L. Hileman is now engaged in
planting his alfalfa, and reports at this
Office having found a splendid method
of sowing the seed. He uses a press
drill. By shutting off the feed entirely
enough seed passes through the cogs to
plant about 20 pounds to the acre. The
press drill does the work evenly, rapidly
and puts the seed down a good depth;
and in this manner just sows about the
proper amount per acre. Mr.. Hileman
is delighted with the work; and has no
doubt of the success Of the plan.
