JV JMo»ls Ifiimije. By F. M. KIMMELL. • $1.50 A YEAR IN ADVANCE. ALL HOME PRINT. This Is How It Stands. In Red Willow county, Nebraska, ac cording to the American Newspaper Directory for 1894, now in press, the McCook Tribune has a larger regular issue than any other paper. Geo. P. Roweeu & Co. The supreme court of South Carolina has decided the dispens ary liquor law to be unconstitu tional. Governor Tillman an nounces that he will appeal the case to the most supreme court— the people. Henry Clews says that it is evident that something must b e done to mollify the feeling in fav or of more silver in the west and southwest, but thinks they are willing to accept some other form of currency. Nay, nay, Henry. The west wants more silver. Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris, it appears, has come home to stay this time. She intends to purchase a home in Washington and settle down for good. Nellie will be more highly appreciated here than in England outside her family cir cle. Her father-in-law has settled an ample fortune on her and her children. Her eldest son will stay in England until he graduates at Oxford and will then come to the United States for a career. Nellie’s income is $30, 000 a year and her mother is also well fixed, with $24,000 a year. The following from the Palis ade Times has the true ring to it, and states the case faithfully: “We are sorry to see the Mc Cook Times-Democrat, which we have heretofore admired, apeing the Omaha Bee’s tactics in fight ing W. E. Andrews for the con gressional nomination. The Times Democrat’s treatment of Mr. Andrews is grossly unfair, and we cannot help thinking that it knows it. Two years ago Mr. Andrews ran ahead of Gov. Crounse and every candidate on the republican state ticket in every county of the district. If that d®es * not show him to be a vote winner we would like for the Times-Democrat to tell us what one is. If the Times Democrat hasn’t the figures we can furnish them. The Times Democrat doesn’t have to support Mr. Andrews if it doesn’t want to, but the tactics it is using in fight ing him will not make any friends for its candidate, whoever he may prove to be.” Ira Cole of the Culbertson Era is a facetious little fellow, and the following is a sample of his humor: “Give the republican editors of this part of the state a show. We nominate the following infallible ticket for the fall campaign: For Governor, F. M. Kimmell, of the McCook Tribune; Lieutenant Gov ernor, W. T. Brickey, of the Frenchman Valley Times; Secre tary of State, J. F. Haskin, of the Benkelman News; Auditor, Ferg. B. Risley, of the Hitchcock County Republican; Treasurer, Frank T. Hawks, of the Benkelman Pioneer; Attorney General, Col Peterson, of the McCook Times-Democrat; Commissioners of public lands and buildings, M. J. Abbott of the Hayes County Republican, and C- W. Barnes of the McCook Times-Democrat. The above is the handsomest aggregation pos sible to get together in the state. When they are elected we are sure they will not permit the ed itor of this paper to suffer in any way because fame has spread the olive branch upon their placid brows.” These are history-making times. The people, mark you we say the people, must see to it that W. E. Andrews is our nominee for congress. The case cannot be entrusted to the politicians. There is no good reason why W. E. Andrews shall not receive a §olid delegation from Red Wil low county. And with united, earnest effort carry the county. If the “armies” now en route to the capital get hard pushed for food they can tackle a few of those Democratic roosters of the vintage of ’92. Nobody else wants them. Gen. Coxey is now in New York trading horses. He has a job lot of fast horses in the market, and for sale. He expects, however, to return and head his hosts into Washington. The receipts for customs at New York, for April, were less than $7,000,000, against over $10,000, 000 last year. It doesn’t make the outlook bright for tariff reform ers for “revenue only.” The weekly crop report of the Nebraska weather service gives ev idence of encouraging prospects for the farmers in all parts of the state. A good season followed by a good harvest will be a most pow erful factor in reviving good times. Now, here is the way for Uncle Sam to greet the “Commonweal ers” when they get to Washington: “My fellow citizens, you are vexed with a serious problem. There is only one solution that I can com mend to you—saw wood.” Jesse Seligman, of New York 1 who died the other day, came to the United States in a sailing ves sel in 1840, from Bgordorf, Ba varia. His first effort upon land ing was to find “a good boarding house for $1 per week.” His for tune, when he died, was estimated at $30,000,000. The Galveston News remarks: “Congressman Breckenridge is ex ecution proof. He has been en joying himself regardless of ex penses. There is no better evi dence of the extreme selfishness and inordinate self-indulgence of the man than this boast of his friends that he is execution proof.” A special address from the committee of public safety ef Troy has been received by Gov. Flower asking him to sign a bill now be fore him abolishing the present police force of that city. This radical procedure is the outcome of the slaughter at the polls of the young republican watcher, Ross. Notwithstanding the cold shoulder that congress appears to be turning toward Coxey and his army, there is a steady grbwth of ! sympathy for the common weal as it approaches Washington, and in sundry sections they are thinking of sending up a memorial to Speak er Crisp and his bear garden, pray ing that when the army arrives the house will turn its hall over to them, let Coxey take the speaker’s chair and give them a month’s trial at running the country. The petitioners do not really believe that it will do much good, but they are curious to know if it is possible to get a crowd of three or four hundred Americans together that will do any worse than the democratic house has done for the interests of the country. It may be that this curiosity is pardona ble.—Journal. Mr. E. McCann let his contract this week for a new dwelling house at Perry to O’Neil and Kilpatrick. The Barnett Lumber Company furnish the building material. Berkshires at the State Fair. McCook, Neb., April 20th, 1894. Editor of the McCook Tribune. Dear Sir: The Nebraska breeders of Berkshire swine are making preparation for the largest and best exhibit of Berkshire swine at the 1894 state fair that has ever been seen. The American Berkshire association has agreed to aid our breeders in this matter by the offer of the following liberal premiums valued at fifty dollars for exhibits of Berk shires made at our state fair, next fall, viz: The first five or the second five volumes of the record of the American Berkshire associa tion necessary to complete the set of the suc cessful competitor, and valued at five dollars per volume. “(a) Best breeding pen of Berkshires reg istered in the American Berkshire record, to consist of a boar and three sows one year of age, owned by a resident of the state or prov ince in which the fair is held, the first five or the second five volumes of the Berkshire rec ord, valued at five dollars. (b^ Best breeding pen of Berkshires regis tered in the American Berkshire record to consist of a boar and three sows under one year of age, owned by a resident of the state or province in which the fair is held, the first five or the second five volumes of the Berk shire record, valued at five dollars. CONDITIONS. First—That the boars and sows competing for the prizes specified above be recorded in the American Berkshire record prior to date of entry at the fair, and that a list of such en tries be sent to the secretary of the association. Second—That there shall be not less than two competitors for each of the prizes. Third—That no animals competing for the above prizes will be allowed to show for said premiums at more than one state or provincial fair in 1894. All the breeders of Berkshires in Nebraska are earnestly requested to make an exhibit at the fair, next fall, for one or both of the prem iums named above, which with the regular cash premiums offered by the state fair associ ation should insure a great show of Berkshires at the fair next fall.
