The interests of Red Willow co. will
be fairly represented by electing G. W.
Bartlett and Richard Johnson , county
commissioners. The election of these
men means the saving of "many dollars

unfair and prejudiced commissioners.
Now when times are hard , Jet us all
begin to make them better. If you have
money which you desire to invest , do it
now. Don't wait for better prices and
better times. The price may never be
more favorable to you , and the way to
make times better is to keep things
moving. If you have any building to
do , do it at once and in that manner
cast in your mite toward the great im
provement.
The potato crop is turning out better
than was expected early in the season ,
especially as to quality and size. This
week , A. C. Marsh left at this office
a half dozen fine specimens raised on
his place near the city , which for quali
ty and size cannot easily be excelled
anywhere in the most favorable season.
Twelve of them fill a peck measure to
overflowing. Others give us an equally
encouraging report.
It is estimated by competent judges
that there is now in the county about
thirty head of hogs to every farmer in
the county. When we consider the
great number thathave been disposed of
on account of the shortage in the corn
crop it will be seen that the Chase coun
ty farmer , if he had been fortunate
enough to have raised a good crop of
corn , was prepared to have made lots of
money out of the American hog. Im
perial Republican.
The fact that the "record breaking"
has in many instances occurred on the
new tracks , this season , has brought
the kite shaped track into great popu
larity , and it will doubtless be the race
track of the future. It is a mile in
length. Each straight side of it is one-
third of a mile long , while the curve
around the upper end is also a third of
a mile long. 1'he grand stand will be
at the small end , where the straight
sides will come together. The horse
has a great advantage on this kind of a
track. It gives him onlyonelong curve
to turn , with two straight lines between
in which to make his best time.

HASTINGS AND SUMMERS
Open the Campaign in McCook
with Ringing Speeches.
ATTITUDE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
Clearly Defined on the Living Issues
of the Day , Etc.
Hon. Geo. H. Hastings , nominee for
the office of attorney general , and Hon.
W. S. Summers of Beatrice opened the
campaign in the opera house , Wednes
day afternoon , with two able speeches ,
which elicited the frequent applause
and close attention of a large and intel
ligent audience , which was composed of
the gentler sex , farmers , laborers and
business men. Both gentlemen have the
"gift of gab" and are posted on the
political events of by-gone days , as.well
as on the questions of the day , and on
the local state situation. They held
the undivided attention of the meeting
for over two hours , making many good
points and creating a very favorable im
pression on their hearers.
Mostly Dyed'in-the-Wool Democrats.
[ From the lied Cloud Republican. ]
This city has been scoured for names
to a "denunciato" which denies none of
the charges against McKeighan , but
pronounces them untimely , unjust , un
warranted , inhuman , autocratic , dema-
gogueical and villainous. Only forty-
six names were secured and thirty-two
of them are dyed-in-the-wool democrats ,
and only six republicans. The list in
cludes a large majority of the drinkers
( and some say gamblers ) of the city.
There are a number of good , decent men
which give it tone ; but no minister's
names appear , and few if any church
members ; and there are none who are
not directly and deeply interested in
their candidate's election. This move
ment seems struggling to get along with
out God , minister , religion or morality.
Seems like common prudence would
suggest that their platform have one
little plank on which a tiny parson
might stand to preach their funeral
sermon.
Looking to Irrigation.
WASHINGTON , Oct. 4. [ Special. ]
Senator Paddock has received a numer
ously signed petition from the farmers
in Northwestern Nebraska asking him
to look into the matter of purposed
surveys , etc. , provided for appropriations
in the deficiency bill. The farmers repre
sent that irrigation is now becoming an
absolute necessity in that region. The
senator yesterday called upon Assistant-
Secretary of Agriculture Willicotts and
had a conference on the subject. The
assistant secretary has already taken
the matter in hand and has consulted
Mr. Nettleton who will likely have
charge of the matter. He is only wait
ing for the return of Secretary Husk in
order to have a further conference and
the land will then be selected upon
which the experiments will be initiated.
It is probable that the work ivill begin
in twenty days.
Broom Corn and Flax.
This dry season has many lessons in its
failure for all , especially for the farm
er. And prominent among others it
teaches in results that speak louder than
words the wisdom and necessity of
greater diversity in agricultural pursuits.
It indicates in unmistakeable ways that
our farmers should grow those grains
and cereals best adapted to this climate ,
soil etc. That while corn , wheat etc. ,
are good , that such crops as broom corn ,
flax etc. , can be raised successfully and
profitably in seasons when other crops
are short or failures. Such , in fact , is
the case , this year , while corn and wheat
are failures to a greater or less extent ,
broom corn and flax have both given the
farmer fairly profitable returns for his
investment and labor. Plant more
broom corn and flax , next season.
The Fortnightly Dancing Club
Keorganized on Tuesday evening of

McAlpine , James Munson , executive
committee. The club has secured the
services of Reizenstein's orchestra and
will hold the dances in Meeker's hall.
It has been decided to commence prompt
ly at nine o'clock , central time , and
to close at twelve o'clock , central time.
This determination will no doubt meet
with general approval , as well as the
decision to dispense with the grand march

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
In response to a request from the Board of
Education the following report , showing the
condition of the public schools in this city , is
submitted to the public.
*
* *
There are at present enrolled 435 pupils in
nine departments under the control of a
superintendent and nine teachers.
*
* *
Nearly 109 more girls are in attendance
than boys. The average age of the pupils is
nine years. * * #
Seventy of the children now in attendance
moved into this district in the present year
and 182 have been in attendance at these
schools five years.
*
* *
During the mouth of September the per
centage of absence of all pupils in attendance
was 2K. of tardiness , 1-G of 1 per cent.
*
* *
Forty-five more pupils are now enrolled
than at the corresponding time last year , this
indicating that no material loss of population
in McCook has resulted from the hard times.
*
* *
Parents and friends of the school are earn-
nestly invited to visit and inspect the various
departments and to confer with the superin
tendent on any matter affecting the interests
of children being educated under his charge.
*
* *
General exercises consisting of music and
recitations are held by the grammar and high
school grades at the east ward building at 9
A. M. , and 1:15 P. M. , daily. Visitors are
cordially invited.
*
* *
The large attendance and the satisfactory
manner in which the pupils are co-operating
with their instructors give promise of a suc
cessful school year , to aid in procuring which
should be the desire of every good citizen.

Look at it Right.
Many people think newspapermen are per
sistent dunners. By way of comparison , let
us suppose that a farmer raises 1,000 bushels
of wheat a year , and sells it out to one thous
and persons in all parts of the country , a.
great portion of them saying : " 1 will hand
you the dollar in a short time. " The farmer
don't want to be small and says , "Alright"
Soon the 1,000 bushels are gone , but he has
nothing to show for it , and he then realizes
that he has frittered away his whole crop ,
and that its value to him is due him in a thous
and little driblets ; consequently he is serious
ly injured in his business because his debtors ,
each owing him one dollar , treat it as a small
matter and think it will not help much. Con
tinuing this kind of business year in and year
out as the publisher does how long would he
stand it ? A moment's thought will convince
anyone that a publisher has cause for persist
ent dunning.
