The Republican Nominees.
"Below we give brief biographical sketches -
ches of the Republican nominees in this
county. It is a pleasure to note the abil
ity and fitness of the several candidate
oiamed in convention , last Saturday :
DR. J. 15. HATHORN ,
"Our nominee for representative , wa
liorn in IMscatnquis county , Maine. At
the age of 17 years he enlisted in the ser-
iviceof his country , serving until the

some lively service , being in ten engage
tnwnts during his enlistment , at Spot

Ikilled and wounded.
After the close of the war he returned
lo his slmlies , graduating from the Maine
State Seminary he entered the freshman
class of the Bates college at Lewislon ,
aUujie. from which in due time he was
-graduated with the degree of 15. S. , and
entered upon the study of medicine in
the medical department of Bowdoiu col

doctor located in Bureau county , Illinois ,
where he practiced medicine and surgery
for twelve years , moving to Bartley , this
county , in the fall of 1886 , during the
itime the college boom was on in that
town.
Dr. J. E. Hathorn is splendidly equip- a
< eil to discharge the duties of represent le
ative , and should be elected by a good ,
safe majority.
O
w. R. STARK ,
The nominee for county attorney , is
one of the county's best and most widely re
-known lawyers. lie has been for years reH
a resident of the county and identified H
with the legal business of this section of M
vthe state. He is well equipped and tl :
thoroughly qualified for the important
office of public prosecutor ; indeed it
tl
would have been difficult to have made
a better selection. He will be elected by
a safe majority , insuring the continuance
: i that office of a safe , conservative and
aible state's attorney. of
STEPHEN BOLLES. dr
It-s useless to go into a sketch of his ve
life. He has been a resident of Red
' -Willow county since the year one , and
identified with lu
lias always been closely
her interests. A resident of Box Elder eno
precinct , he is known all over the county. o
He has served the county a number of
terms as commissioner , and has made a St
good officer , having the best interests of Stt
the people well in mind. He will be reelected -
elected by a large majority , and will con
tinue to give the people efficient service
an that office. st
Red Cross Benefit.
01
'The ladies' societies of the various
churches of the city have conceived the
idea of giving a lawn social for the bene th :
fit of the Red Cross society , whose glori tb :
ous work for the sick among our soldier dc
boys appeals to every heart. After some
consultation they have determined to Ti
give a lawn social at the home of G.
it
A. Noren on next Fridaj * evening , Au sil
gust igth. Ice creaui and cake will be
served for the sum of 15 cents , and there
ought to be and doubtless will be a most Si
liberal patronage accorded the affair. evii
All the churches of the city have taken iiw
iioid of this affair , which will be as all- w
comprehending in its effort as the com
munity , and unless all signs fail McCook
bi
will be able to send a fine remittance to
at
the society to help carry on the glorious
fa
and humane work they are engaged in. faB
Representatives of the ladies' societies
will call on you during the coming week
for donations and for help to carry out lie
litHi
the large plans of the affair in hand , Hi
that they will not come away from any cc
patriotic home empty-handed goes with ccbi
out the saying.
In addition there will be an entertain
ing program of some character , not yet bihi
hi
fully determined upon.
Remember next Friday evening and so
the occasion with your presence and lib sow
eral patronage. w

Republican County Convention.
The Republicans of Red Willow coun
ty , through their delegates , met in tin
opera house of our city , last Saturdaj
afternoon , and transacled the following
business :
At the appointed hour , one o'clock
the convention was called to order by
Chairman Barnett of the central com
mittee , and E. P. Day and II. I. Peter
son were placed in nomination for tem
porary chairman. On balloting the for
mer was selected by a vote of 63 to 37.
C. W. Barnes and F. M. Kiinmell were
chosen as secretaries.
On motion the secretaries were author
ized to act as a committee on credentials.
The secretaries found all the precincts
represented but North Valley and that
Tyrone and Danbury were without ere-
dentials. On motion the delegates pres
ent were allowed to cast the full vote of
the precinct they represented and the
delegates from Tyrone and Danbury were
seated.
On motion the temporary organization
was made permanent.
On motion a committee composed of
one delegate from each precinct was con
stituted to select the state , congressional
and senatorial delegations.
An effort to reduce Willow Grove's
representation from 24 to 18 delegates
failed to carry , the vote being 68 to 34.
A motion authorizing R. P. High to
name the state delegation failed and was
superseded by a motion which required
the selection of a delegation favorable to
Mr. High's aspirations for the office of
land commissioner.
The committee on delegations was
composed as follows : Perry Ginther ,
W. T. Henton , W. P. Burns , D. P. Brewer -
er , A. J. Bear , John Tate , W. S. Fitch ,
S. W. Clark , Henry Barton , B. L. Thomp
son , J. PI. Relph , W. A. McCool , J. B.
Gumming , J. H. Lewis , L. A.Colter , E.
A. Sexson , I. M. Horton , A. D. Johnston ,
H. H. Troth , Ed. Jordan , C. G. Coglizer ,
G. R. Johnson.
J. E. Kelley , E. M. Wood and W. O.
Bond were appointed as a committee on
resolutions and a recess was taken for
the committees to prepare their reports.
The delegation committee assembled
at once in the city hall , organized with
calling W. S. Fitch to the chair and
F. M. Kiiimiell to the secretary's
desk. After quite a warm session
the following delegalions were agreed
upon for report back to the convention :
State W. S. Morlan , J. W. Dolau , Wil
liam Valentine , H. H. Berry , Frank
Moore , Charles Waterman , W. T. Hen-
ton , J. E. Hathorn , H. W. Keyes. Con
gressional S. W. Clark , Charles Goben ,
J. H. Lewis , Howe Smith , E. A. Sexsou ,
J. C. Moore , H. W. Cole , G. S. Bishop ,
A. Barnett. Senatorial Samuel Prenier ,
A. W. Campbell , E. M. Wood , C. W.
Hodgkin , B. F. Bradbury , J. S. Brittain ,
C. I. Hall , C. W. Barnes , W. A. Brown.
The session of the convention was re
sumed when the committees were ready
to report , and the report of the commit
tee on resolutions was read and adopted
as follows :
Be it resolved by the Republicans of
Red Willow county in convention assem
bled :
That we endorse and approve the
course of our president , William McKinley -
ley , in his conduct of the war with Spain ,
and praise without stint the valor shown
by our army and navy from highest offi
cer to lowest private or seaman.
That we pledge our earnest support to
the cause of Republicanism , and believe
that the party is strong enough and
grand enough to encompass all needed
reforms , and punish all offenders , wheth
er within or without her party member
ship.
ship.We
We believe that the interests of the
people of Red Willow county will be
best ; served by replacing our present rep
resentative in congress with a live , ac
tive Republican , and with good , active
men of our own party in the different
branches of the state legislature , to the
end that a United States senator may be .
elected who will work in harmony with
our president and his cabinet.
Respectfully submitted ,
E. M. WOOD.
W. O. BOND.
J. E. KELLEY.
Ou motion the convention then pro
ceeded to take an informal ballot for a
candidate for representative , with the
following result : Sexson , 42 ; Hathorn ,
41 ; Bell , 27.
The formal ballots stood as follows :
First Sexson , 44 ; Hathorn , 49 ; Bell , 20.
Second Sexson , 45 ; Hathorn , 52 ; Bell ,
13. Third Sexson , 44 ; Hathorn , 62 ;
Bell , 4. The nomination was then made
by acclamation.
The doctor in a brief speech said the
nomination came to him unsolicited ,
but that if elected he would endeavor
honestly and faithfully to serve all the
people.
On motion the convention then took
an informal ballot for a candidate for
county attorney by call of precincts , W.
R. Starr receiving 63 votes and C. E.
Eldred 46 votes. The ballot was made
formal and nomination of W. R. Starr
by acclamation.
. Mr. Starr made a stirring , mirth-pro
voking speech in accepting the nomina
tion. He promised to work for the suc
cess that the party in Red Willow coun
ty is entitled to perforce of her majority
of votes. He referred to the lack of har
mony in the past which placed the Pop
ulists in office and in the enjoyment of
the emoluments thereof. He sized up
the situation that he was in good stand
ing and fellowship with both factions
and was in position to put the Pops in a
hole from which they never would
emerge.
W. H. Smith of Indianola was iiotni-
nated for chairman of the county cen
tral committee and he was accorded the
liberty of selecting his own secretary.
The county central committee elecled
is as follows :
Alliance Philip Lemasler , Barlley.
Beaver Win. Iliersekorn , Lebanon.
Bondville Frank Colling , Indianola.
Box Elder Charles Fey , Box Elder.
Coleman Jacob Belz , McCook.
Danbury F.G. Stilgebouer , Danbury.
Driftwood C. T. Eller , McCook.
East Valley S. W. Clark , Bartley.
Fritsch Charles Goben , Indianola.
Gerver H. I. Peterson , McCook.
Grant J. H. Relph , Banksville.
Indianola G. W. Short , Indianola.
Lebanon R. P. High , Lebanon.
Missouri Ridge A.J.Strain , Danbury.
North Valley Win. Wight , Bartley.
Perry Howe Smith , McCook.
Red Willow Win. Sexson , Indianola. '
Tyrone Frank Moore , Tyrone.
Valley Grange J.S.Brittain , McCook.
Willow Grove. 1st , J. E. Kelley , Mc
Cook.
Second H. H. Berry , McCook.
Third C. G. Coglizer , McCook.
Fourth G. R.Johnson , McCook.
\
The delegates composing the Third
commissioner district then separated b
themselves from the convention proper
and proceeded to the nomination of a
candidate for the office of commissioner.
r. R. Johnson was chairman and J. E.
xelley secretary of this gathering and
Stephen Belles was renouiinated by ac
clamation.
a
The central committee was empower
ed to fill any vacancy that might occur olA
on the ticket before election time. Ad-
ec
ourned.
It was a fairly harmonious convention
and adjourned with perhaps less sores
than usual.
The skirmish for the state delegation si
was warm , and perhaps the greatest dis
appointment of the con vention was in the
selection of the congressional delegation.
Everybody was in favor of Bob High ,
but many thought the convention should vs
name the delegates. There is a proper
and strong objection to the vest pocket \
delegation. :
There was an incipient boom for Captain LiThe sli
tain John J. Lamborn for congress , but
the east end boys could not get action
on it on account of the manner in which
they were unwillingly tied up in the :
state delegation. th :
thWi
The contest between Hathorn and Wi
Sexsou was a nice race , neck and neck Ul
for a while , until the doctor won out glv
with a little daylight to spare. The con \v
vention could not have made a mistake thw :
between two such men , anyhow. w
Starr had the country delegations quite offl
solid and his nomination came easy and
a
in a manner to surprise those not posted. be
Willow Grove stayed by Eldred to a th
man , although defeat was certain before fo
they were reached in calling the roll.

The address of the retiring chairman , N
A. Barnett , will go thundering down the
corridors of time as one of the most re
markable political papers presented be
fore a county convention of Red Willow DH
Republicans. You will appreciate its
vigor , frankness and keenness by read 01
ing it yourself. It appears in full else

Spanish Love of Bloodshed.
In the midst of all the distress and
misery I could not help noticing how
bloodthirsty the race is. A mother and
laughter were standing by me when the
iast cow was killed. The butcher very
skillfully stood by the side of the animal ,
reached to his spine and plunged a knife
into it , withdrew it and plunged it again ,
ind repeated the operation a third time ,
when the poor beast rolled over dead.
instinctively turned away from the
sight ; , and was horrified to note the in
tense inlerest the women were taking
it and how their eyes glistened with
pleasure as they murmured their appro
bation ; of the butcher's skill. I may , of
course , have judged them wrongfully ; it
may have been the delight with which
they were anticipating the coming meal ,
but I don't think there could be any
mistake the expression of their faces
clearly shoxved how the3 * enjoyed the
spectacle of bloodshed and slaughter.
James H. Hare in Collier's Weekly.
Breaking a Useless "Chain. "
Dimes have been pouring into the
Navy department to Secretary Long con
tributed by the patriotic Americans who
want to build a battleship to replace the
Maine. ] Somebody , the secretary does
not ' know who , started an endless chain
this end , and the secretary is doing
his ; best to break the chain. To such
contributors as give their addresses he is
returning the money with a note inform
ing him that he has no authority under
the law , to receive it , and the object
seems to be otherwise provided for , as
congress has specifically appropriated
money for the construction of another
battleship to be known as the Maine.
