The Fighting Chaplain.
Rev. James Mailley , the Fightitu
Chaplain of the late lighting Fust Ne
braska , addressed a full house in th <
JMenard opera house , Monday evening
The chaplain's fame as a "warm mem
* ber" had preceeded him , but no out
was disappointed he gave them one o
ahe best , most stirring American speech
es heard in this city in a long while , nix
-was throughout the entire speech warm
ly and enthusiastically cheered for hi ;
tnanly utterances in support of the ad
'ministration of President McKinley ant
Kf his conduct of the Philippine war
-while all enjoyed his keen thrusts at tht
selfish "Little American" idea and the
obstructionists , who reminded him and
his hearers of the copperheads of the
late civil war , in embarrassing the coun
"try while at war and encouraging the
enemies of the flag.
The chaplain paid an eloquent tribute
Ho the soldier whom he styled the pio'
neer of civilization drawing upon his'
Hory to substantiate his claim ; and in explaining -
plaining his change of heart to Republi
canism and prosperity , from pessimism
and calamity , gave many excellent rea
sons why the party of prosperity and
progress and confidence in Americans
-and the American idea should be re
gained in office.
There was just enough of humor and
" the droll of personal experience in the
Philippines to make the speech very en
tertaining , while his exposition of the
winning and dominant American ideas ,
stirred eveiy patriotic heart.
There were five members of the late
'Fighting First Nebraska on the platform
- Fred Kinghorn , George Frey , Frank
Traver , Stephen Belles and Bert Colter
= aud the meeting was in their control and
Hinder their management Comrade Frey
"introducing the chaplain after a brief
"introduction by Chairman Babcock of
'the county central committee.
The Nebraska Brigade band injected
'some stirring selections into the occa
sion.
sion.A number of the candidates on the
Republican county ticket occupied the
Tplatforni with the speaker.
Old glory and pictures of the immortal
'Washington , President McKinley and
other famous Americans , formed the
decorations.
It was a speech full of inspiration to
'Republicans and must have made every
fPasionist present prouder of his country
-and flag.
-An Entertaining : Lecturer.
"St. "Patricks Catholic church was well
filled on Wednesday night , the occasion
of Rev. Francis Clement Kelley's lecture
-011 "The Yankee Volunteer. " The rev
erend lecturer was chaplain of the32d
Michigan volunteer infantry during the
iSpanish-Ainerican incident. From sa
cred and profane history he set forth in
overwhelming array the facts which give
-the volunteer the glory of the world's
greatest military accomplishments , the
"Yankee , or invincible volunteer , capping
'theclimax of heroic performance.
"Throughout the lecture , Rev. Kelley oft
rose to heights of eloquence and poetry ,
= and pleasing bits of reminiscenses dotted
the address felicitously. He held the
'close and appreciative attention of his
hearers throughout the lecture , which
'was as instructive as entertaining.
The altar was simply decorated with
flags and bunting , making an effective
staging for the chaplain , who appeared
in the uniform of a captain.
.The Lady Maccabee Dance.
"McCook society made its debut in
white slippers and spike-tails , Tuesday
night , at the Lady Maccabee dance in
\ the opera house. The attendance was
large and the affair is declared a most sat
isfactory and delightful one. The ladies
'realised handsomely in coin of the realm
-and all present , either as spectators _ or
I "participants , were pleased with the social
isnccess achieved.
The music of the evening was produced
by the Pythian orchestra , which is suf
ficient guarantee of its inspiring tuneful-
-ness.

able , A. J. Stroud passed away at hi
home in South McCook , Monday even
ing about eight o'clock , death being the
result of blood poisoning contracted a
few weeks since , while doctoring a sick

of the poison from the wounded hordes
had entered. At any rate , he felt sharp
pain continuously in that member from
the time he washed the horse , and death
finally resulted , despite medical assist
ance rendered

of two cents for each living inhabitant ,
two cents for each death , fifteen cents
for each farm , and twenty-five cents for
each establishment of productive in
dustry is provided for all sub-divisions
where such allowance shall be deemed
sufficient. In other sub-divisions where
higher per capita rates are to be paid ,

Moles in the Garden.
There are frequent inquiries "How to
exterminate moles , " so 1 will give my
experience. Last year I caught fifteen
n our little garden , and thought I had
hem exterminated , but this spring I
bund plenty of them seemingly deter
mined to root up all my monthly roses ,
gladioli , etc , I have already caught
iourteen , and think I will have no more
or some time. I use the Reddick trap ,
vhich I find excellent. When you pro-
: ure a trap , insist on being shown how
LO set it correctly , and be very careful
not to get your fingers under the prongs ,
jr you ma1 be maimed for life. Now go
aver the ground , and by raking and
ramping obliterate all traces of their
work. In a few hours you will probably
liscover a fresh run heaved up. Ap-
Droach this carefully so as not to disturb
my portion except an inch or two
Dressed down where you set the trap ,
f this is properly done you may be
Dretty sure of him in twenty-four hours
> r less ; but "if at first you don't succeed ,
ry , try again. "
After each capture level the ground as
> efore and watch for fresh runs From

BARTLEY.
Jasper Phillips of the Indianola Reporter
complains that he has been "seein' things"
the octopus at McCook , political machines
and so forth. Tim's tarantula juice has an
effect similar to that on some our fellows , lee
. . . .In the McKinzie case , last Saturday , the
jury found the defendant guilty of assault and
battery and the judge sentenced him to sixty
days in the hotel tie Neel. In pronouncing
sentence the judge opined that the prisoner
should have been tried before the board of in
sanity rather than his court , and was therefore
lenient in the punishment..S. W. Clark , ( he
Republican nominee for county clerk , went
up to the county capital , Monday evening , to
hear the address by the chaplain of the First
Nebraska. Sam-is making friends wherever
he goes and we predict that the vote , this'fall ,
will prove him to be a very popular candidate.
. . . .M. E. Corbin had business in Orleans ,
first of the week..Burglars entered G. W.
Jones' store , Monday night , and carried off
about $50 worth of merchandise consisting
of sugar , shoes , clothing , cutlery , razors etc.
No clue to the evil doers..There is no good
reason why every Republican in the county
should not vote the ticket straight from top to
bottom , this fall. It is composed of good ,
clean candidates , well scattered over the
county , who were unanimously chosen by the
convention without any attempt at plugging
or wire-pulling. Vote the whole ticket ! . . . .
J. II. Berge was making an effort to patch up
the holes in his political fences here , early in
the week Isaac Vandervort , residing about
fhree miles southwest of town , died , Sunday
morning , of an old army trouble. The Ma
sonic lodge.of which he has long been a mem
ber , had charge of the funeral services which
occurred at the home on Monday..We can

quite severely injured about the hip , and is
stiM confined to his bed Hon. E. A.Tucker
of Tecumseh will deliver an address here on
he political issues at 2 o'clock , next Wednes
day afternoon , the 25th. He is one of the
itate's ablest speakers and should have a
arge hearing. His presentation of Republi
can principles at Indianola , last week , is con
sidered the most forceful and eloquent effort
ever heard in that city. Remember the hour
and date : two o'clock next Wednesday after-
loon The shoes that Jones was "touched"
OM this week , were men's qlA and women's
4 as to size , but the fact that "Deacon" Wil-
cii and Miss King require "kicks" of that
alibre need not necessarily attach suspicion
o them.

scriptural injunction to "not let the right hand
< now what the left hand doeth" or words to

nake a guess at the whole matter ? They
