An early solution of the Mo Cook post office question may be expected. The Republicans of Oxford pro pose to run a party ticket at the coming city election. What will McCook do, did you ask? The president has appointed Dr. George L. Miller to be sur veyor of customs for the port of Omaha. . A proper recognition of a grand old democrat. Last week Nebraska’s supreme court awarded damages to a man who had been black-listed by a business men’s association. The black list and the boycott are of a kind. Selling for cash is better. The people of Cambridge were not favorably impressed with the idea of voting bonds; and the water works enterprise has been shelved for the present. It is al ways well to go slow in the mat ter of voting bonds. Hast© makes waste, frequently. The local Republican cuckoo organ pretends to speak for Cong ressman McKeighan. It gives it out that McKeighan favors An drews’ renomination. The cuckoo is becoming more irrepressibly comical and irresponsibly idiotic every week. The local democrat who pre tends to speak for the democratic party of the Fifth district is not as well posted as he might be. when he is quoted as saying that the democrats are through with McKeighan. The rank and file of democracy will support him this fall as usual. Andrews made a clean, able and manly fight for congressman, two years ago. He is better able to wage the battle this fall, than he was two years ago. He is entitl ed to the opportunity. He will poll every Republican vote in the district—emphasis on the word Republican. Colonel Mitchell of the In dianola Courier has given the mat ter his usual deep and careful con sideration and gives it out frigid that the renomination of the Hon. W. E. Andrews would be a grave political blunder. We are keenly disappointed, indeed. Bat maybe it is Brer Mitchell’s mistake. We are inclined to think that it is. Recent conferences of the lead ing republicans in the Fifth con gressional district develop the fact that Prof. W. E. Andrews will surely get the congressional nom ination. Men who have been as pirants for the nomination recog nize the fact that Mr. Andrews is the best able to cope with Cong ressman McKeighan. — Trenton Republican._ Senator Aldrich, of Rhode Is land, proposes to resign from the United States Senate. It is rather humiliating for a man who has looked upon a seat in the senate as one of the highest honors i n America to find himself surround ed by stock jobbers who use their own work on legislation to fill their pockets in Wall street But Senator Aldrich is such a good fighter that the country needs his services more there than ever since the senate became an ante-cham ber to Wall street Governor Crounse deserves a renomination as worthily as any man who has ever sat upon Ne braska's gubernatorial chair. If he desires it, there is no good rea son we know of why he should not be renominated practically by a unanimous voice. The President has Bent into the senate the name of R.B. Wahlquist of the Hastings Democrat to be postmaster at Hastings. Here are our congratulations. We understand that Cash D. Puller of Imperial is a candidate for secretary of state, and M. J. Abbott of the Hayes Centre Rep ublican for land commissioner. CO LEU AH PRECIHCT. Soma farmers are through sow ing wheat and oats and are plowing for corn. A. Prentice, who recently came from Illinois, is building a house and having a well sunk. Wm. Smith has his new house about complete. It’s a fine frame building, 24x36 feet in size. Lee Taylor is satisfying his cu riosity as to what lies under the surface by turning the soil over I with three teams. How are your fire-guards any how? Are you in shape to be burned out the first time some careless fellow knocks the hot ashes out of his pipe or from the end of his cigar. Last Friday we heard a man growling about the weather. He hadn’t plowed a furrow or sown a grain. His neighbor had sixty acres in wheat and no time to in dulge in idle grumbling. I On last Sabbath, after Sunday school at the Coleman school house, the young people to the number of eleven loaded themselves into a wagon and drove over to Spring creek and were present at the preaching and baptizing services. On next Monday evening.March 19th, at the Coleman school house, there will be a basket supper. As the ladies here are noted for their proficiency in the culinary art, something extremely appetizing may be expected. Uncle Billy claims large experience in pruning chicken limbs, especially the yel low variety. He suggests that seme lady bring a basket with side boards on it, and quietly intimate to him the number of the ticket that accurately corresponds with the ticket in that particular basket. The proceeds are to be devoted to the promotion of a worthy cause. All are invited to attend, enjoy a pleasant evening, and—fill up. The Tariff, Financial, Hawaiian and other questions of the day do not interest the people hereabout as much as the question where can I get the most and best groceries for the money. C. M. Noble can answer the question to the satis faction of all. Do you know that woven wire fencing is the best and cheapest fencing on earth ? S. M. Cochran k Co. have a large stock of all sixes. Don’t fail to see their line before buying. Cochran k Co. have the largest and eompletest stock of standard farm machinery to be found in Bed Willow county. Look them over and get prices. Jerome Lewis is visiting his brother Wil liam of oar city. There will be the usual wearing of the green tomorrow, St Patrick’s day. The probabilities are that the McCook post office will not migrate southward, this season. J. W. Dolan of Indianola was in the city, last night, on his way home from an eastern visit The A. O. U. W. band will give n ball in their Temple, Monday evening, 26th inst. Tickets, Jim A goodAime is promised. Oliver Harvey bad Mrs. Stalder arrested, Wednesday, for using profane language. She pled guilty before Judge Berry who fined her #1.00 and costa—the order not to be enforced during her good behavior. Congressman Bryan. The genial, clever and popular cong ressman from the First district passed through our city, Wednesday night on No. 4 from Denver, and the desire of many citizens to see and hear the gifted young orator grew into quite a general outpouring of people by the time the evening passenger pulled in from the west, and he was accorded quite an ova tion regardless of politics. The young congressman addressed the people briefly, telling of the few things congress had accomplished and express ing the hope that its coming days would be marked by greater performances. He touched upon the tariff question, the in come tax and silver; and his remarks were well received. They indicated the oratorical possibilities of the young man unmistakably. A general hand-shaking followed the speech, and many took pleasure in clasping palms with the magnetic young congressman from the First district, be fore he continned on his journey east ward. The Republican Primary. It has been thought best, this spring, to place a Republican ticket in the field. To this end a petition was circulated, Wednesday, calling for a primary on Friday evening, the 16th, [to night,] in Menard’s hall. It is gratifying to note that the petition was very generally signed, and it is to be hoped that the Republican party of our city will be ful ly represented at the caucus, and that a good, clean ticket may be placed in nomination. The course is doubtless a wise one, and we fondly hope the results may show its wisdom. The opportunity is ripe. It only remains now for the party to act judiciously and fairly, and victory will be their portion. Outrageous Injustice The local agents have just received their rate cards from the insurance com panies. The result shows an average in crease of insurance rates in McCook of between 20 and 25 per cent. All classes of risks are included in the general in crease. Just why McCook people should have their rates increased because the companies have lost heavily in Omaha and Lincoln fires does not seem quite clear to the average intelligence, espec ially in view of the fact that our fire fa cilities have just recently been so greatly strengthened and increased. It smells of rank injustice. Cards are out announcing the marri age of Nason A. Crawford and Anna M. Kalina, which will take place at the res idence of the bride’s parents, Mr: and Mrs. J. A. Kalina, near Hayes Centre, Tuesday, March 27th. They will be at home, after April first, McCook. The crazy social held by the Epworth league in the Methodist church, Tues day evening, scored a neat success. The league realized a net profit from the en tertainment of about $15.00. Besides everybody had a pleasant time. There isn’t any mistaking the senti ment of the business men of McCook: It is for retrenchment in municipal expen ses, emphatically. It must come too. Taxes are now something unbearable. Business men are thinking, and action will bring relief. At the close of service on next Sunday morning at the Congregational church, action will be taken relative to securing permanent pulpit supply. All members and friends of the church are requested to be present. It will be surprising if the gang doing the gambling on the sly,as they imagine, does not hear something drop in due time. Like the pursued ostrich they seek safety by sticking their heads in the sand. Mrs. George Gowing expects to start next week for the Mid-Winter Fair at San Francisco. Mrs. Gowing will travel with her annt, Mrs. Bnrtless, of McCook. —Hayes Centre Republican. The State Journal’s Washington cor respondent is authority for the statement that Charles H. Meeker’s nomination to be postmaster of McCook is expected. Don’t overlook the new advertisement of the McCook Paint and Wall Paper House of Elbert & Cole. If you haven’t registered, don’t neg lect to do so at once. You must register to vote. Charles H. Meeker, postmaster. Carey T. Beggs will engage in the abstract ing business. W. S. Morlan went in to Lincoln, last night, on business of the law. Colonel Peterson of the Times-Demo crat is absent in Denver, this week, on a visit. Cash H. Fuller of Imperial and M. }. Abbott of Hayes Centre were down, last night, to attend tbe special convocation of King Cyrus Chapter of our city. President C. E. Perkins, Vice-President G. B. Harris, Treasurer J. C. Peasley, Genera] Manager G. W. Holdrege End General Sup erintendent T. E. Calvert, are out on the road on their annual tour of inspection. The McCook postnffice question is practic ally settled. The nomination of Charles H. Meeker was sent into the senate, Wednesday, by President Cleveland. His confirmation is but a question of time. The Tribune offers its congratulations. McCook will have a good postmaster. Established 1886. Strictly One Price. ||| Famous Clothing Co. | SPRING OF 1894.
