From Nebraska comes the news
of @raising" a company of cow punch
ers to go to South Africa to help the
Beers in their struggle forsupremacy
in their own country and such sur
rounding provinces as take their
fancy. In Chicago 5000 people fill a
hail to sing: "Rule Britannia" and
send words of comfort to Queen Vic
toria, while in Philadelphia, the
cradle Of liberty, mass meeting for
the Beers attrakks 1000 persons. In
New Orleans three British transports

army, to be landed at Cape Town

tains the correct attitude, OF course.
In the London newspapers, however,
there is singular assumption that
the people of the United States are

egraphed that paper, that, on hear

They may have done so, but 1t Is
hard to believe the tale, and espe-

the house without pedestrianism as
an expression OF relief. - Detroit

The savings banks of the countr

The savings banks of the country
tell most impressive story Of the
share of the prosperity which those
who receive wages have obtained. 1t
is claimed that there Is no record In
their entire history that compares
with the one male in the last six
months. During this time they have
increased their resources by almost
as mnch as was the entire gain made
in 1898. What the condition OF the
wage earning man was during these
months may be easily sUrmised.

The Rev. Irl R. Hicks Almanac.

There is no comparison between
former editions and this splendid
Almanac for 1900, now ready. Print
ed in beautiful colors, on much finer
paper, its 1876 pages are packed with
invaluable information on stor ms,
astronomy aud meteorology. 1t Is
illustrated with nearly 200 finest
half tones and other engravings.
This superb book would sell any
where for fifty cents, but it costs
only Csc copy, and every subscriber
to Rev. Irl r.. Hicks now famous
paper, Words aud Works, at s1.00 a
year, receives this elegant Almanac
as a premium. Words and Works Is
recog nized leader among the best
family and scientific journals, while
nothing OF its kind can compare
with the Hicks Almanac. One dol
lar a year Is a nominal price for such
unique and useful publications. Pro
fessor Hicks has justly, and of neces.
sity, withdrawn his storm and
weather forecasts from all free al
manacs, having generously given his

The Tribune doesn't share II

The Tribune doesn't share the
fears of those timid folk who mag.
inc that the democrats are going to
capture Michigan this year because
few republicans have disgraced
tueir party. The democrats may in
crease their repre- Ientation in the
legislature, but it will be impossible
for them to elect a member OF con-
gress or greatly reduce the majority
OF the republican state ticket. This
is presidential year and If the lead
ers of the party will stop sIuabEling
until after election, no good republi-
cin need lose any sleep over the re-
suit. Bay City Tribune,
