They Are Identical.
To Thk Tribunk:—It is a conceded
fact that the interests of a town or com
munity and country surrounding are
identical. That which benefits one is
certain to favorably affect the other.
Many times there is an unreasoning an
tagonism in the farming community
against their home town. From some
inexplicable reason they consider it their
duty to oppose every movement that has
for its object the forwarding of its inter
ests, and depreciate its importance in
every conceivable manner.
Fortunately, in this community all our
best and most progressive farmers and
property holders have an interest in
McCook, wish it every success. But the
fact cannot be disguised that there are
individuals in the city and vicinity who
display the same characteristics that dis
tinguished those who have been the
bane and curse of other localities.
These people only speak of their home
town, community and neighbors i n
terms of disapproval. Their good quali
ties are kept in the back-ground, while
what they are pleased to call their faults
are proclaimed without reservation.
They are simply barnacles on the ship of
progress, and the sooner they take up
their residence elsewhere, and make
room for some progressive and liberal
minded citizen, the better it will be for
the community.
The fact cannot be controverted that
a town cannot increase in size and im
portance, without at the same time mak
ing the country contiguous a better
place to dwell. As its population in
creases, it furnishes a better market for
the farmer,his land is enhanced in value,
the amount of taxable property in the
town becomes greater, and a consequent
decrease of taxation results. The liter
ary, social and educational and church
privileges keep pace, and even surpass
the growth of our city, and the farmer,
his wife, sons and daughters, enjoy them
equally with other citizens. Etuuc.
Happily Wedded.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. W. N.Rog
ers, a few miles east of the city, was the
scene of a happy event, last Saturday
evening, in which Mr. Lee Gilbert of
Tamora, Seward county, and Miss Cas
sie B. Wheelock, sister of Mrs. Rogers,
were joined in the holy bonds of wed
lock, County Judge C. W. Beck of In
dianola, performing the ceremony, in
the presence of about forty guests, rela
tives, neighbors and friends.
After the ceremony a splendid wed
ding feast was enjoyed, which with the
music and social intercourse, made up a
very delightful evening.
The newly married couple will remain
here a week or so before leaving for their
home at Tamora.
They received many handsome pres
ents, among them being:
A set of silver spoons from Mr. and
Mrs. W. N. Rogers. Silver butter knife
and sugar shell, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Still
man. Fruit dish and picture throw, Mr.
and Mrs. C. Stevens. Pair of towels,Mr.
and Mrs. W. J. Evans. Lace pillow
shams and bedspread, Mr. W. A. Wallin.

The Republican City Ticket.
The municipal ticket placed in the
field, last Friday night, by the Republi
can caucus, is in the main a good one
and a strong one. But it cannot be
claimed that their acts were all marked
with wisdom and care, even in a degree
that was to have been expected. So
while the ticket is a disappointment in
some respects, lacks uniform excellence
and complete merit, it is withal fair,and
in some features strong enough to as
sure victory.
Confirmed.
The appointment of C. H. Meeker as
postmaster of our city was confirmed by
the senate in executive session Monday.
As April commences a new quarter Mr.
Meeker hopes to have his bond, com
mission etc., in form to take charge of
the office by the first of the month.

The unanimous nomination of James
Ritchie for member of the school board,
last Friday evening, by the Republican

of his excellent services on that board in
the past. He has made a splendid mem

spring election.

The Coming Teaohers’ Institute.
County Superintendent Bayston has
issued his prospectus of the Red Willow
county teachers’ institute to be held in
the high school building of our city, be
ginning July 9th and closing August 3d.
J. H. Bayston will conduct the institute,
and will be assisted by several able in
structors. The prospectus is as follows:
TO THE TEACHERS AND SCHOOL OF
FICERS OF RED WILLOW COUNTY.
Section 1, subdivision 10 of the school
laws of Nebraska, make provision for an
annual institute, in pursuance of which
I hereby appoint a four weeks institute
for Red Willow county to be held from
July 9th to August 3d.
The holding of an institute of four
weeks duration is a new departure in this
county. Several counties of the eastern
part of the state have been holding in
stitute four weeks. If it is a good thing
for the teachers of those counties near
good summer schools it is a necessity
here, where the cost of going to a sum
mer school at a distance is more than
the tuition.
Arrangements will be made to get
board at reasonable rates. Those who
intend to teach in the county, will be ex
pected to attend the institute. To
those who have never taught, the four
weeks work is indispensable. There will
be a tuition fee of $1 charged, and $1 for
examination.
Wm. Valentine, superintendent of Mc
Cook schools, will instruct in Didactics,
Science and Geography ;Lewis W.Smith,
principal of the Indianola school, will
instruct in Grammar, History, Geometry
and Civil Government; Seth T. Parson,
principal of Bartley school, will instruct
in Arithmetic, Algebra and Book-Keep
ing; Mrs. M. J. Cordeal, primary teacher
of McCook, will instruct in Botany, Phy
siology, Primary Work and Reading.
SPECIAL FEATURES.
During the institute Mr. Valentine will
deliver six lectures illustrated by the
powerful optical lantern belonging to
the McCook school. Subjects: “Our
Family Record;”“Natural Phenomena;”
“Ruins:” ‘‘How People Live;” “The
World’s Worship;” “Napoleon.”
The well selected library belonging to
the McCook school will be at the dis
posal of teachers during the institute,
and persons desiring information on par
ticular subjects will be assisted in their
research by the instructors.
To persons interested' in science, op
portunity will be given to perform ex
periments in the laboratory and learn
the use of apparatus.
In the primary work model classes will
be introduced, and the teachers will see
the methods applied to the child and
thus will be enabled to study the pro
cess of development and become famil
iar with the practical work with little
ones.
A High School Building.
The board of education has about de
cided to secure plans and specifications
for a new high school building. The
proposition is to complete and furnish
one wing of the contemplated building
during the summer, at a cost of some
thing like $6,000.00, in case funds can be
secured to meet the expense,—which is
a matter of some doubt. The proposed
wing is to have four rooms. The struc
ture is to be built on the west ward
building block. It is figured that the
contemplated wing will provide facili
ties for the next few years, and that at
the end of that time the school district
will be in better financial condition to
complete the building. The necessity
for more room is pressing. It remains
for the board to meet the emergency as
best they can, having in view the finan
cial distress of the district at this time.
Feels Hurt.
It comes to us that Mayor Brewer feels
hurt that J. E. Kelley should promise to
administer the finances of the city ac
cording to law. That the promise is
construed by the mayor as a reflection
npon the present administration. Well,
it is a pretty evident reflection, but a
perfectly fair one, even the mayor must
admit. And a new deal will be appre
ciated by all. Let it come.
Though rather early in the engage
ment for snch talk it is no uncommon
thing to hear democrats discuss the ques
tion of the congressional election in this
district. The predominating opinion is
that a straight candidate must be put in
the field and Chas. G. Ryan of Hall, and
Capt. J. S. LeHew of Red Willow, are
talked of.—Hastings Democrat.
The unusually stooped appearance of
Colonel Peterson is doubtless traceable
to the fact that the Colonel is chief bone
carrier in the city election. He’s run
ning both camps, and its heavy work.
Trainer Elwell, of equine fame, will
locate at McCook. There is not enough
business here to justify him in remain
ing.—Oxford Standard.

Quite March Like.
One of the severest snow and wind
storms of the winter prevailed in these
parts, Wednesday, being preceded on
Tuesday evening by an unusually heavy
rainfall of almost an honr’s duration.
The snow was driven by a stiff northwest
wind, and made out door life for man
and beast very uncomfortable. In fact
it was the worst storm of the year on
stock. While from an agricultural stand
point the heavy fall of moisture was of
immeasurable value. The storm west of
here was much more severe than at this
point—more snow and wind.
