tion brought before the convention four
names. The ballot stood:
J. C. Moore.84
William Smith.15

The rules were suspended and Mr.
Moore’s nomination was made by accla

on the question of education and public
schools in a most satisfactory manner.
The informal ballot for county sheriff
resulted as follows:
E. R. Ranks. 84
W. F. Everist.22
The nomination of Sheriff Banks was

J. C. Moore,
Who received such a flattering nomi
nation for the very important office of
county superintendent of public instruc
tion, a trust which he is splendidly
equipped to fill, was born in Manchester,
Ohio, Feb. 23rd, 1S56, (hence is 37 years
old).
ms parents removeu to western Illin
ois, where he was brought up on a farm
near Aledo, in Mercer Co.
After completing the course of sudy in
the Aledo public schools, he taught two
terms of school, and then, with the means
thus provided, attended Wylies’ Aca
demy two years, and also spent two
years in the Mercer Collegiate Institute.
At the age of 19 received a first grade
certificate, taught three years of school,
and in 1879 came to Nebraska, locating
near Wilson ville.
Taught three terms of school in Furnas
county, and two years later located at
Tyrone where he has since resided. Re
ceived a 1st grade certificate and the past
three years has been a teacher in Red
Willow county.
| During his 14 years residence in Ne
braska has attended numerous institutes
and teachers’ associations. Has been a
constant reader of educational papers
and magazine >, and thus kept abreast of
the times in the progress that has been
made in the great cause of education.
If elected he will devote his entire
attention to the duties of the office.
Always a republican. Not a “recent
convert.”
GeorgeW. Roper,
The unanimous candidate of the party
for county clerk, requires no introduc
tion at our hands, being well and favor
ably known throughout the entire coun
ty, which he has served for the past six
years in the capacity of clerk with such
conspicuous ability and general satisfac
tion as to gain for him the distinction of
being the “best clerk Red Willow county
has ever had.” Clever, courteous, ob
liging to a marked degree; prompt to
respond to every inquiry; careful and
methodical in the conduct of his office in
the past, he is a model officer deserving
a splendid support from the people of
Red Willow county at the coming elec
tion . The party has made a strong nomi
nation for the office of county clerk.
E. R. Banks.
The wisdom of the re-nomination of
K. R. Banks for the office of county
sheriff is granted by all, friends and foes
alike. A stronger candidate or a more
competent officer tor the shrievalty
could not havefceen found within the
boundary lines of Red Willow. We
have had more than ordinary excellence
in our sheriffs in past years, but none of
these have conducted the business of that
important and difficult position with
greater ability,more impartiality,or more
conspicuous success and general satisfac
tion than has E.R. Banks. A born officer,
cool, even-tempered, fair, fearless, atten
tive to business, prompt in the discharge
of his duties, E. R. Banks has made a
typical officer, and the man who expects
to keep in sight of him in the coming
election will have to be a sprinter of the
world-beater sort.
C. W. Beck.
Perhaps the records of the county
court of Red Willow county have never
been in as good shape as they are un
der the present county judge, Charles W.
Beck. Out of chaos and absolute lack
of system, he has by careful and hard
work brought as full a measure of order
as can be expected under the circum
stances. The office has received his clos
est attention during the past two years,
and with the result that very general
satisfaction has been given the people.
The affairs of the court have been manag
ed systematically and equitably. His re
nomination was entirely deserved, and
his re-election should be compassed by a
neat plurality.
A. H. Barnes.
The nominee of the convention for
the office of county treasurer, Deputy
County Clerk Barnes, has too wide an ac
quaintance in Red Willow county to re
quire an introduction at our hands, or
any words of recommendation. As de
puty county clerk for the past six years
he has shared with his principal the
honors of that office, and has become
well known throughout the county as an
efficient and accommodating officer in
that department of the county govern
ment. His qualifications for the posi
tion of county treasurer will be admitted
by all, and his popularity makes him an
unusually strong candidate for these new
honors in the service of the people.
W. F. Everist,
Better known as Frank Everist, is the
nominee for commissioner of the first
district. Frank belongs to the tribe of
Eli, upon whose banner is emblazoned in
letters of living light, “Get there.” He
is a rustler from wayback, without a sem
blance of moss on him. He would make
an active, business-like commissioner,
such as the first district needs. He
should be elected by a round plurality.
W. P. Grimes,
The unanimous choice of the conven
tion for county surveyor, is perhaps not
so well known to the people as the other
nominees. He is, however, a successful
farmer of Valley Grange precinct, where
he is highly esteemed, and is by those
who know him vouched for as being per
fectly competent to perform the duties
of the office of county surveyor. He
should be heartily supported.
C. W. Hodgkin,
Who formerly served the people care
fully as county commissioner, is the
choice of the convention for the office of
coroner. We feel safe in stating that he
will fill the office creditably, and dis
charge the duties of the coronership
with “neatness and dispatch.” He will
doubtless receive the party support and
ornament that office after January first.
The Entire Ticket,
From top to bottom, is able and strong
and worthy. If given the deserved sup
port it will come out victorious at the
approaching election.
Shippers—Attention.
Resolved by the South Omaha Pack
ers as follows:
Whereas, The Secretary of agriculture
has ordered a special inspection of hogs
intended for slaughter, to commence
Monday, October 2, 1893, and in order
to assist in carrying ont the regulations
governing such inspection, dated Wash
ington, September 13, 1893,
Resolved, That the undersigned refuse
to accept any hogs suspected by us of
being in a condition or of having any
disease or injury causing an elevation of
temperature, or affecting the system of
the animal, unless the seller causes such
suspected hogs to pass government in
spection as fit for human food.
The Cudahy Packing Company',
Michael Cudahy, President.
Omaha Packing Company,
T. W. Taliaferro, Manager.
The G. H. Hammond Company,
A. H. Noyes, Superintendent.
This includes piggy sows, crippled
hogs which show an abnormal temper
ature, hogs that show signs of disease,
in fact anything but good straight hogs.
This order is general and applies to all
packing points and all packers else
where have taken the same stand as the
Omaha packers, so that shippers should
hold all stock in the country that for
any reason is likely to be condemned
until some provision has been made for
their disposition, and in the future pay
careful attention when purchasing hogs
in the country. ,

Monday, E. W. Clarke opened his

The board of education held their reg
ular monthly meeting on Monday night,
transacting the routine business of the
past month, which consisted principally
in the allowance of bills, salaries, etc.
Getting bills printed with which to
litter up other people’s front yards is all
right in its way, but businessmen should
remember that an advertisement in a

many returns of the day-.
The open air concert by the Pythian

The boys are something superior in tlieii
line.

The special opening of fall and wintei

of the ladies of McCook and vicinitj' tc

ALL IN THE SAME BREATH.
The Democrats of Red Willow county
met in the city hall, last Saturday after
noon, pursuant to call. T. G. Rees pre
sided over the deliberations of the con
vention. A. A. Hackman served in the
capacity of secretary. Of the 54 delegates
entitled to seats in convention there
were 45 present.
The following delegates and alternates
to the Democratic state convention at
Lincoln, October 4th, were elected:
Delegates. Alternates.
F. H. Spearman. Thomas Dungan,
J. A. Cordeal. J. F. Forbes.
A. J. Clute. B. V. Haley.
A committee on resolutions was selec
ted, being composed of F. H. Spearman,
J. F. Kenyon and V. Sells. They pre
sented the following resolution which
was adopted by the convention:
Resolved, That the Democracy of
Red Willow county, in convention
assembled, heartily endorse the National
Democratic platform of 1892, and hereby
express their confidence in the adminis
tration of Grover Cleveland. We furth
er request our delegates to the state con
vention to use all honorable means to
secure the nomination of W. G. Hast
ings for justice of the supreme court of
Nebraska.
A motion was carried by a vote of 35
to 9 endorsing the entire populist ticket.
After which the convention adjourned
amid considerable excitement.
AFTERMATH.
We do not break any confidence when
we state that Colonel James Harris feels
the full weight of the heavy responsi
bility that rests upon him as about the
only Simon-pure bourbon in the county
of Red Willow.
The endorsement of the populist ticket
was a great surprise to most and was
doubtless the sequel to the bitterly con
tested primary election of the previous
afternoon.
The Spearman wing of the Democracy
is again triumphant. But it came high.
It came high.
The Democrats seem to be greatly at
tached to “home rule” even in McCook.
There was talk of holding another con
vention, but it did not materialize.
There is still some doubt in the Demo
crat mind “where they are at.”

On Monday night the stores of \V. C.
LaTourette and ME. Knipple were brok
en into and a quanty of money and goods
stolen. At LaTourette’s they forced open
two doors and broke two panes of glass
before making their entrance from the
rear. Here they secured money, revolv
ers, etc., to the value of about J50
At Knipple’s the burglars were less
successful. Entrance was forced through
a rear window. Fortunately there were
but a few cents in the money drawer,
which was badly damaged. After taking
a hand full of cigars the marauders de
parted .
At Latourette's the thieves did not
even exercise the precaution to turn off
the electric light, but boldly operated in
the light.
It is hoped that the perpetrators may
be brought to justice and befittingly
punished for such work.
The work of putting in the additional
hydrants provided for by the late water
ordinance is now progressing in various
parts of the city. These and the new
standpipe, when completed, will give
the city greatly improved and increased
fire protection.
From now until after election we
must beg the indulgence of our readers
for occupying so generous space for poli
tical purposes.
This weather is a little depressing on
the ice industry, but the coal dealers
must feel strongly encouraged.
The Republican county central com

Bible School Notes.
Something like fifty dollars worth of
“Oxford Bibles” were disposed uf to
scholars and others, Sunday. We can
supply any kind of Oxford Bible to any
person on easy payments. Eor full in
formation ask the superintendent.
Did you hear the new Constitution of
the school Sunday? It was something
of a departure in this work. But that’s
what the whole school is, a departure
from old worn out methods. A some
thing in keeping with the need of the
times. You wont find us traveling in
ruts.
The officers for the following year will
be: C. T. Watson, supt.; Russell Mc
Millen, ass't supt. and librarian; Miss
Mamie Chapin, sec’y. Executive com
mittee composed of Pastor McBride, the
Supt., Ass’t Supt., and Secretary, anil
the following teachers: Mrs. Robinson,
Mrs. Rouch and G. E. Thompson.
Next Sunday the matter of organizing
a “Teacher’s Normal Class, will be
taken up. We trust that everyone con
nected with the school, who desire to
prepare themselves for usefulness in the
Vineyard, will be present. The object
of the class is to make teachers, not by
record, but teachers in fact. A great
many teachers think that after they
have talked to their class for half an
hour they have taught the lesson; there
is a distinction between teaching and
preaching, which needs to be recogniz
ed. All text books needed will be
furnished free by the school.
The Democratic Primary.
One of the most hotly contested polit
ical battles waged in McCook in many
moons was the Democratic primary
election held on last Friday afternoon.
The result was a decisive victory for the
Spearman wing. The vote cast in Wil
low Grove precinct alone was almost as
large as that polled by the entire county
at the last general election, indicating
that quite a considerable interest out
side of the Democratic fold was at work
in the primary.
Baptist Church Services.
These services are held in the Lutheran
(brick) church, I'/z blocks north and one

An unsuccessful effort was made, Wed
