M. KIMMELL, Acting Chairman. McCook, Neb., Sept. 4th, 1893. Baby Kuth has a little sister. Grover seems to be carrying his single standard idea into his domestic affairs. The popular demand for postal savings banks has been heeded, and bills for their establishment have been introduced into both branches of congress. Archbishop Ireland’s advocacy of religious liberty for all people before a congress of Jewish wo men is one of the encouraging signs of the progress of modern civilization toward more perfect religious tolerance. France proposes to have a grand international exposition in 1900. This will give the bellicose repub lic ample time to tackle all her foes and make the exposition either a fete or a means of recouping. A deficit of $19,000,000 per month cannot be long endured even by the government of the United States. Something must be speedily done either to increase the public revenues or to decrease government expenditures. Women were given a voice in the Catholic Congress at Chicago. This is the first time they have been permitted to take part in an ecclesiastical assemblage of the Catholic faith. This departure indicates that the church is pro gressing in the right direction. St. Paul and St. Peter and the other fathers of the Christian church were men of great zeal and iofty spirituality, but they were all wrong on the woman question. Ira Simpson, the hardware mer chant who nipped two bank rob bers with his Winchester as they were fleeing from the town of Del ta, Colorado, is what is called in the vernacular of the breezy west “hot stuff.” May his tribe in crease. The cure for that sort of outlawry is nerve. What is re quired for its extermination is more good Simpsons and Kloehrs. When a gang of tbugs raid a town for the purpose of looting a bank, or undertake to hold up a train, they take their lives in their hands. In point of fact the chances are all against them. It is the few against the many. It is only by the dis play of superior audacity that they ever succeed in carrying out their plan. By meeting their bluff with a resolute front they could be very readily put to flight, or, better still, made to bite the dust. This congestion of train robbers and bank looters can be easily cured by a little blood letting. INDIANOLA ITEMS. County Attorney Dodge was here, Wednesday. The Modern Woodmen received two new members, Monday night. George Short has moved into the house north of the postoffice. County Supt. Bayston visited schools in Beaver precinct on Tuesday. Mrs. A. H. Reynolds and Miss Edna left, Thursday morning, on a visit to Illinois. Public schools opened, Monday, Sept. 11th, with five teachers and upwards of 200 scholars.

Scurr, formerly of Bartley, now of Creston, Iowa, transacted business at court house, Thursday. Miss Lena Beck will commence a six months term of school in dis trict 37, Danbury precinct, Mon day, October 2. License wras issued on the 9th for the marriage of JohnEskerson and Kate Laughran, both of the city of McCook. Clerk of Court Bond is happy. He has two years more to serve, and has a 12 pound deputy at his home to assist him. Miss Grace McFadden of Beaver City has been visiting for the past week in the families of Charles Cooper and C. W. Beck. On September 9, County Judge Beck united in marriage Edward McGuire and Lottie Warner, both of Missouri Ridge precinct. Alfred Matteson, a nephew of Judge Beck, from Warren county, Illinois, has been visiting his un cle’s family for the past two weeks. In the county court, Tuesday, was heard the case of George Kingeu vs. James Harris, which was hotly contested, causing much unnecessary talk and bad language between attorneys and witnesses. Monday morning as Ed. Banks’ driver was speeding Pre-emptor on the track here an attachment to one of the line broke, causing the horse to get tangled in the harness and fall. After a desperate strug gle he got away and ran to town, took a spin through the streets,and finally fell near the M. E. church, where he was captured somewhat bruised and cut, with a demolished sulky and a broken harness. Ed. thinks he will be all right after a little rest. The indications are that County Clerk Roper will be the unanimous choice of the Republican c«unty convention for the office he now and for six years has filled with entire satisfaction to the people of Red Willow county. — McCook Tribune. If efficiency in office counts for anything with the people of this county, his election is assured by an overwhelming majority.—In dianola Independent. The renomination of Sheriff Banks is generally conceded. He has made an exceptionally excel lent officer and has given the best of satisfaction.—McCook Tribune. Sheriff Banks is about the only man in the county that can beat Teel and then it will not be a walk away.—Indianola Independent. The transmississippi train rob bers can scarcely be said to be in it with the bold bandits who put a bomb under an express car on the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern train in Indiana, and who blew up the safe with dynamite. But, then Transas and Missouri are not kick ing so very much on that kind of a “scoop.” ESTABLISHED 1885. The Largest Stock, The Choicest Styles and Best Goods at Lowest Prices at.

The paid admissions to the World’s fair are now not less than 200,000 a day when the weather is good. This surpasses the ex pectations of the directory. There are 45 days remaining until the close of the fair. If the present rate of attendance is maintained until October 81, the admission for the intervening period will be at least ten millions. They are more likely to pass that figure than to fall short of it, as visitors to the great show are pouring in to Chicago in a steady and ever increasing stream. The prospect is that the total attendance will be considerably in excess of twenty millions, in spite of the peanut policy of the railroads and the foolish hesitation • which people feel at this time about spending their money. This is to be Keeley day at the fair, when 10,000 graduates of the great Keeley leagues are expected to be present. Established 1886. Strictly One Price. •.. .. 4 I % F PALL OP 1893.
