THE bachelor governor-elect of Ne
braska might hear something to his ad
vantage by addressing the late bachelor
governor-elect of Kentucky. Denver
Post.
THE disaster that overtook the Ne
braska foot-ball team , Thanksgiving
day , at the hands of the Minnesota
giants , may be summed up in the tragic
score 21 to 12. The Grophers made a
heroic fight ; but the Millers were too
heavy , averaging 15 pounds per man
more than the Nebraskans.
THE publisher of the Wilsonville Re
view threatens to secure "outside work
for five days out of the week" if the
merchants of that burg don't "shell
out" more liberally of advertisements
and job-printing. If all Nebraska pub
lishers should put such a threat into
practice for the same reason , the sections
would be crowded with 'em.
THE TRIBUNE has been alternately
amused and moved to expletives with
the veriest tominy-rot going the rounds
of the press apropos of the recent burn
ing at the stake of a negro rapist and
murderer in the state of Colorado. THE
TRIBUNE is not notably blood-thirsty ,
and stands for law , every time ; but the
dastardly act of rape blackened by the
fiendish crime of hellish murder places
the author outside of the pale of law ;
and the manner of the removal of such
a beast from the fair face of the crime-
. stained earth is but a detail. And the
supersensitive ninnies may well subside ,
and let the matter rest. Every virtuous
father and brother of ours ought to feel
it a privilege to help out of existence
such an inhuman brute.
The Chicken Show.
Attention should now be centered on
the chicken show to be given in our
city , next week , commencing Wednes
day , December 5th , and closing on Satur
day , December Sth. This exhibition by
the Republican Valley District Poultry
association should be the best in the his
tory of the association. The poultry in
dustry is one of increasing importance
and profit to the people of SouthWestern -
ern Nebraska , and next week should be
given over to the chicken-fanciers. THE
TRIBUNE hopes the show may be liber
ally patronized , and that the association
and industry may receive every proper
encouragement.
The Usual Celebration.
McCook observed the da } ' in custom
ary style : Union religious services in
the Methodist church in the morning ;
turkey at noon ; shooting tournaments in
the afternoon ; with partial suspension of
business during the day. It was a day
of ideal weather , and withal a day cal
culated to compel gratitude from the
most thankless heart.
The police and county court have been
quite busy with the denizens of the
demi-world , the past two days. There
is a powerful disposition on the
part of the people and of the city admin
istration to purge and purify some of the
leprous spots of our city life , and all
I good citizens will feel like ratifying any
reasonable action to that end that may
be taken.
A female disreputable and ber equally
disreputable consort were brought before
Police Judge Berry from tbeir rendezvous
in South-East McCook , late Saturday
night , and fined $10 each and costs. The
' fines were remitted in case the couple left
town ; which they did on Monday after
noon. Some few chattels in their resort
reverted to the school fund.
The McCook Circle No. 33 , Ladies of
G. A. R. , meet the first Saturday of

A JnpancMc Dinner.
He who does not MVe the way the
Japanese cook tish must be hard to
please. They are better fish cooks
than the French. The Japanese wa
ters are very prolific , and the natives
seem to have learned in cooking to
preserve the inherent flavor of the
fish , while their sauces are very sim
ple. And as for eels , as they are cook
ed at the kandagjnva , a teahouse in
Tokyo , he who has tasted them has
established a standard in his mind by
v hich to judge other eels.
Seaweed we had , too , thin as paper ,
and crisp. It is the weed of the sea
that is left on the rocks and scraped
from them by the fisher women with
shells and then dried in the sun. It is
eaten as a relish and has a , delicate
flavor , suggesting cinnamon.
Rice we had in abundance. It was
served from a bucket ( not unlike ours ,
but not quite so deep ) of unpainted
white pine , with a little wooden shovel
somewhat like those our children use
in playing at the seashore. Our rice
bowls were filled again and yet again ,
and when we covered our bowls it
meant we had finished dinner. I have
seen the Japanese look with indiffer
ence at a fish cooked in a way that
made iny mouth fairly water with de
sire , but when they are served with
rice it receives their immediate atten
tion. Harper's Magazine.

It is pleasant to learn , if cue has Na
poleon I on the hero list , that he hail
very dainty habits in personal mat
ters ; that he was fastidiously clean in i 1
his person , according to an article in a
French contemporary , and poured can
de cologne into the -water he washed
in , then sponged his head with per
fume and finally poured the remainder
of the contents of the flask over the
neck and shoulders. lie was also ex
travagantly fond of clean linen and
during his campaigns had relays of it
sent to different places. In those days
it did not cost a farm to have "starch
ed things" laundered , for , in account
with a famous laundress in Paris , the
emperor's "linen" for one "wash"
amounted to 3SG pieces and cost only
a trifle over $20.
This strikes an American as very
reasonable. But his majesty never
wore any article but once , and as he al
ways undressed himself without aid
from his valet his garments were liter
ally "cast" to the four corners of the
room. Napoleon's bill for eau de co

woman's by a large majority. It is a
