Republican Judicial Convention.
The Republican electors of the I4th
Judicial District of Nebraska are re
quested to send delegates from their
respective counties to meet in convention
in the city of McCook , Nebr , on
Wednesday the 27th day of September ,
1899 , at 8 o'clock p. ni. , for the purpose
of placing in nomination a candidate fur
the office of District Judge , and to trans
act such other business as may come
before the convention.
The several counties comprising the
district are entitled to representation as
follows , the apportionment being based
on the vote cast for Hon. M. I/ . Hay ward
for governor in 1898 , giving each county
one delegate at large and one for each
lee votes and major fraction thereof to-
wit :
flospcr .4
Diinily 4 Hnjos. . . . . i
Frontier 9 Hitchcock . . . . . . 5
Furnns ii : Red Wiiiow 11
It is recommended that no proxies be
admitted , but that delegates present be
authorized to cast the entire vote of the
delegation of the county which they
represent. C. E. HOPPING ,
F. N. MKRWIN , Sec'y. Chairman.
TIIK Republican state convention was
held in the exposition auditorium , and
delegates were admitted to the grounds
free. It was different , perhaps , on the
Midway.
THE Republican state convention in
Omaha , yesterday , nominated the fol
lowing ticket : For supreme judee.M.B.
Reese of Lincoln ; for regents of the uni
versity , E. G. McGilton of Omaha and
Dr. William B. Ely of Ainsworth.
MICHAEL DAViTXgoes into print with
the opinion that , "Had Dreyfus been a
poor man , his fate would excite no sym
pathy in London and New York. " And
Mike never went on record as a greater
liar , at least so far as America is con
cerned. Few Americans have given
Dreyfus' financial condition a passing
consideration even ; but all are actuated
by a high sense of justice , simply.
THE Republicans of Red Willow coun
ty have now in the field a ticket com
posed of men who recommend them
selves to the voters of this county. They
are men competent for the positions for
which they have been named. The
ticket is clean , strong and able from top
to bottom , and is in a position to com
mand the full Republican vote of this
county , and that means nothing short of
assured succeas. The times are auspic
ious and propitious for Republican suc
cess , let no section , or faction or indi
vidual falter in loyal support to the
ticket.
Festival of Mountain and Plain.
Denver , September 25-30. An exposi
tion , a street fair , a horse show , the re
turn from Manila of Colorado's volun
teers , parades beyond number , a mas
querade ball , and a grand state ball.
This is a brief outline of the pro
gramme which the citizens of Denver
have arranged for the amusement and
entertainment of visitors during the
week beginning September 25.
It will be Denver's fifth Festival of
Mountain and Plain and it will be as far
ahead of last year's celebration as it was
ahead of that of 1897.
Appreciating the wide-spread interest
in this unique celebration , the Burling
ton offers reduced rates to Denver from
a wider territory than in the past. The
round trip rate from McCook will be $8.
Tickets will be on sale September 24 to
28 and will be good to return until Oc
tober 2d. J. FRANCIS , General Passen
ger Agent , Omaha , Neb.

The Republican county comention is a

strong support from the Republicans of this
section of the county. *
Bert Crabtree , who icturned with the First

Thursday morning , interment being made in
the cemetery just northwest of the city. The
deceased was a member of the First Oregon
regiment , which did duty in the Philippines ,
and it was there he contracted the disease
which ended his young life. The bereaved
family has the sympathy of all in this afflic
tion.
REDWILLOW.
There was no school in district 72 , Monday ,
teacher and pupils attending Ringhng's show.
Penny's thieshing machine has been sta
tioned at J. F. Helm's _ for some days. Of
course it stopped for Kingling's.
Holton Longnecker. who is teaching school
near Danbury , was at home for the show.
Charles Byfield also had a holiday.
Jacob Longnecker is helping Wm. Byfield
through the rush of preparation foKwinter.
\Vm. Taylor will also lend a hand in the
same direction.
We are filled with curiosity to know the
street and number of that citizen who aspires
to save the county clerk labor. The popula
tion of the "station" is not dense , at piesent.
but we are no good at guessing.
We hate to have our booming young city
called a station. An infant generally lives up
to the appellation of its childhood , and it is
possible that if we keep on calling Redwillow
a station it will never nave the courthouse , or
any branch railways , or in any way rise above
the name. It's just too bad !
Mrs. Byfield has a pair of ferrets on the
road from New London , Ohio. If the little
animals arrive In safety , there will be a rat-
hunt on the Byfield place that will discount
coon hunting , coyote hunting and all other
kinds of hunting. The ravages of rats on
farms where much feeding is done are rather
appalling.
There was a big coon hunt in this neigh
borhood , Saturday night. Twenty-five men
and an unlimited number of dogs joined in
the sport , and a dozen coons and a couple of
skunks rewarded the hunters. The patience
of the owners of the dogs was somewhat tried
by the overflow of spirits which caused the
older men to give vent to cries and shrieks of
ecstacy distracting to dog nerves. The young
fellows , weyere told , were better able to
curb their excitement. Mr. Hyatt tried to se
cure a live coon , but the coon secured him , in
its teeth , and he made a speedy end of it. To
the lovers of this sport even Ringling's great
est proves tame pleasure.
