M'COOK TRIBUNE. F. M. KOIMKLL, Publisher. McCOOK, NEBRASKA. " OVER THE STATE. Forgers have been quite active of late in South Omaha. There are 207 pupils enrolled in the the Syracuse schools. Nebraska City's school enrollment exceeds any former year. The Johnson county fair has been declared off for this year. Lightning struck and burned the barn of John Hussuc, near Verdon. Tiie dwelling house of Sherman Cor nett, of St. Paul, was destroyed by lire. A HEAVY wind storm did considera ble damage in the vicinity of Eldorado. Dodge county spent SI00,000 last year in support of her common schools. Burglars got into the house of Wm. Peters, Fremont, stealing cash and goods. Chari.es Huri.but, one of Johnson county’s wealthiest farmers lias been adjudged insane. Old settlers of Dodge county had their annual picnic last week, there being about 500 in attendance. Fire totally destroyed the barn and sheds on Pat McCabe’s farm, about live miles southwest of Newcastle. The jail at Blair is now provided with steel cells, and it is expected there will be fewer escapes therefrom. J. M. C. Jones of Gage county did some irrigating on a small scale and had a wonderful growth of vegetables. Prof. G. \V. Sampson, of Tecumseh has gone to Arapahoe, where lie will superintend the schools for the coming year. There are 1,422 more pupils in the Omaha public schools at the beginning of this school year than there were last year. The democratic congressional con vention of the First district will be held in Tecumseh Thursday Septem ber HO. It is reported that there is a man living near Rising who is offering SI per head for old horses, which he kilis and feeds to his hogs. The directors of the Cass county fair have called off the horse versus bicycle races and will substitute straight wheel races in their stead. This has been a discouraging year for rain makers. Now, after they have stopped operations, moisture is coming in all sections of the state. The Fremont Tribune suggests that a healthful and useful exercise in Ne braska at this time is to rise about 0 a. in., get a hoe and swipe Russian this tles. Walter Hand is under bonds to answer before the district court of Dodge county for running away with a team of mules. He was arrested in Crawford. Though this has been a severe year on creameries the Fremont institution, by good management, has made some money. It has a capacity of 3,000 pounds per day. The: Catholics of Dawes, Sioux, Box Butte and Sheridan counties will hold a union picnic on the Crawford fair grounds September 20. There will be some politics in the gathering. A prairie schooner which passed through Fremont bore this laconic in scription on one side of its canvas top: "Seven Years in Colorado; Going Back to Live with My Wife's Folks.” Henry Eagi.es, an old soldier, died at the soldiers’ home at Grand Island at the advanced age of 73 years. He was a member of a Michigan company and had a record as a brave soldier. William Blouvett, the young man arrested for the assassination of Frank Breithaupt, at Oxford, in July, had a preliminary hearing at Beaver City and was placed under heavy bonds to ap pear at the district court. A despondent hog belonging to D. E. Johnson of Yerdigre committed sui cide by hanging itself in its pen. It made no parting squeal, but it is sup posed that the shortage in the corn crop was the underlying cause of the rash act A quarantine proclamation from Governor Waite, of Colorado, was re ceived at the state house last week. It forbids the importation of sheep into that state from the territory of Okla homa, afiicted with the disease known as “scab.” C. J. Lane, general freight agent of the Union Pacific, Nebraska division, returned last week from a month's trip through Utah, Idaho, Washington and Oregon. He says that the Union Pa cific is on the boom there and that crops are the best ever seen. A requisition for the arrest and re turn of Charles Garrison, charged with the crime of grand larceny, by the Col orado authorities, was honored by the governor, lie is under arrest at Brady Island, Lincoln county. He is accused of having stolen a horse and sulky. The question of Columbus voting bonds in the sum of $10,000 to aid in the construction of an irrigation canal has been ordered submitted to a vote of the people by the board of supervisors, and the election will be held at the town hall in the city of Columbus on October S. When the wife of a laboring man or farmer buys Nebraska goods she in creases the demand for labor, makes it easier to obtain profitable employment, and makes a better market for the pro ducts of the farm. Nebraska made goods are the best in the market: Far rell & Co's brand of syrups, jellies, pre serves and mince meat: Morse-Coe boots and shoes for men. women and children; American Biscuit & Manufac turing Co., Omaha, crackers. Secretary Carlisle has made a change in U. S. deposits at Omaha by which the Omaha National, which has long been a depository for government funds, has been eliminated from the list Secretary Carlisle says the mat ter has been finally adjudicated and will not be reopened. Polk county held its fair last week, and it is said that if it was not the best fair ever held in the county it was not the fault of the management, for they did everything they could to make it a success, even trying their best to fur nish attractions in the shape of speak ers to represent the republican, demo cratic and populist parties. THE COLONEL DOES NOI ACKNOWLEDGE DEFEAT. WILL CONTEST OWENS’ ELECTION. Claims That Fraud Was Committed l>> Ills Successful liival — Desha and Other Friends of the Congressman Sent Out to Secure Evidence of Crooknedncis — Counter Charges by Owens. Lexington, Ky., Sept. IS.—Breckin ridge will contest the result of Satur day's primaries in which he was de feated by W. C. Owens and has already sent letters to the committeemen in eight counties notifying them of his purpose. His ground will he fraud in Scott county. The Breckinridge men have a majority of four in the district committee, which declares officially who is the nominee in the primary returns. It is claimed by Breckin ridge men that enough illegal votes were cast Saturday to overcome the small plurality of Owens. The com mittee will meet Saturday of this week at Frankfort to canvass the votes. Colonel Barney Tracy, president of the Owens club, claims that he is in no way afraid that Owens will lose the race. The Breckinridge people say that Owens' lead is only 159, and that the committee will give to Breckinridge the nomination sure. Stress is laid upon the fact that Owens’ county (Scott) which gave him 1,200 plurali ty, showed an increase'of Oil over tne Democratic vote in 1892, and Franklin county, which Owens carried by 521, showed an increase of 091—almost 33% per cent in each county. The oth er six counties show from 5 to 20 per cent increase. Desha Breckinridge, J. C. Rodgers and J. G. Bullock have gone to Scott count}' to get affidavits and to investigate the report that two precinct polls were kept open an hour longer than the law allows, and tiiis will be one of the grounds of contest. Some of the Breckinridge men claim to have discovered numerous clerical errors in their favor, reduc ing Owen’s plurality to less than eighty. In one precinct at Owen’s W. C. OWENS, THE MAN WIIO TURNED DOWN BRECKINRIDGE. home they claim there were over eighty fraudulent votes cast, or a miscount to that extent. Desha Breck inridge is at Georgetown, looking after that precinct and he telegraphs there are other frauds that will more than overcome even the estimated claims of the Owens men. The impression is gaining grou nc! here that the committee, which reg istered Breckinridge’s will in all matters preceding the primary, will decide in his favor next Saturday. In such event the minority of the committee announce they will report Owens as the nominee and both can didates will fight to a finish in Novem ber. The Republicans will be gov erned largely by the result of the outcome of the contest before the Democratic district committee. The Republicans polled 9,443 votes for eongressman at the last election, which is considerably more than either Owens or Breckinridge polled last Saturday. In all the churches yesterday morn ing the defeat of Breckinridge was referred to in prayer or in sermon as a matter for national thanksgiving. The exact figures by which Breckin ridge was defeated cannot be known until the county committees canvass the vote of their respective counties to-day. At present all estimates are based upon a mixture of official, semi official, newspaper and telephonic re turns and run from 950 to 550 in favor of Owens. The Breckinridge members of the district committee came here yester day with several county chairmen, and the Owens men fear manipula tion. They say that in Owen county and in precincts of Woodford ami Henry the figures hitherto returned as official may be changed so as to in crease Breckinridge's showing. Tlie greatest surprise was the result in Owen county. Settle’s home, where Breckinridge ran nearly even with Settle and Owens’ vote was ridicu lously small. Charges are openly made that Settle threw his home to Breckinridge with the understanding that he would be the latter’s political legatee two years hence. A Book Agent Tired of I ife. Eldorado, Iowa, Sept. IS.—U. C. Keniston, a traveling book agent, dis appeared two weeks ago and it was j supposed he was out in the country j selling books. Last evening his body i was found in the woods south of town badly decomposed. An open pocket knife and other evidences point to j suicide. Deceased came here August i 19, remained a week, came back I August 31 and remained till Septem- i ber 3. He owned a home at Ued Oak, Iowa. He was despondent be cause of slow sales. WANT JONES TO RESIGN. Nevada Republicans Addre** a Sharp Letter to the 1’opuliHt Convert. CARSON, Nev., Sept. 18.—Senator John P. Jones of Nevada lias been re quested by the Republican state cen tral committee to resign his seat in the United States senate to which he was elected by Republicans. This re quest is made in a long letter, which was drafted by Chairman Trennor Coffin, and approved by the state cen tral Committee at a meeting held in this city. It exhaustively reviews Senator Jones’ letter of August 20. to the former chairman of the committee, Enoch Strother, in which Jones an nounced he had left the Republican party to join the Populists, and se verely criticises his course of action. The main points of the letter are as follows: “You say you have not changed your principles. Well and good. Then it follows you have merely changed your name and instead of calling yourself a Republican, you will here after term yourself a Populist. Do the shining examples of Populist in fluence (conspicuous among others, that of your own colleague) with which you are daily and hourly con fronted in the senate justify the be lief that such a change will add to your prestige and power as a member of that body? Do not the cases of Sumner and Schurz,and Trumbull and many others furnish the most painful reminders that the day upon which a brilliant and distinguished party leader breaks away from the organ ization in which he has won all his fame marks the beginning of his po litical decline? Can you reasonably expect a different result? 15ut by what mental process you arrive at the conclusion the great ‘principle’ in volved requires you to part company with the Republican party of Nevada, your letter entirely fails to disclose. “You concede we are true to the cause of silver. Then why do you abandon us? If we are true to silver, why does not devotion to that ‘principle’ of which you write so eloquently require you to remain true to us? Not only have we been true to the cause of silver, but we have been true to every other great princi ple that you hold dear; and more than all, we have been fidelity itself to you. Then we ask again, why have you abandoned us? The silver party does not accept your name, while the Populist party does not accept your creed, so that upon every recognized political principle you are literally left without a party in the state of Nevada. The publication of your let ter has rot caused even a waver in the ranks and no defection of any leader, however great and distin guished, will cause them to swerve a hair's bieadth from what they believe to be their duty. “In conclusion, we desire to re mind you that you were elected to the senate as a Republican by the Republican party. In the strictest sense of the office it is a political one, and the Republican party is entitled to representation for the full term of six years from March 4, 1891. As you now announce you can no longer act with the party that elected you,every consideration of propriety and delica cy requires you to resign. In the name of the Republican party of Ne vada, we respectfully request you to do so. ” NEW YORK REPUBLICANS. Four Opponents to Morton at Work— Thirteen Men After Second Place. Saratoga, N. Y., Sept. IS.—Where la: t night there were but two Re publican candidates for the nomina tion for governor and four for lieu tenant governor, there were this morning five for governor, thirteen for lieutenant governor and four for judge of the court of appeals. For governor the candidates are ex-Vice President Morton, Fassett, Woodford, Butterfield and Russell. The Morton adherents still claim that their candidate will be nomi nated on the first ballot but the bit ter fight for lieutenant governorship, it is thought by many, may result in a free-for-all fight for governor and the Fassett people this morning ac cordingly claimed that the contest would greatly aid them. Popu]ist3 May Indorse Sapp. Topeka, Kan., Sept. 18.—There is a movement among the Populists of the Third district to indorse F. W. Sapp, the Democratic candidate for con gress. In exchange for this indorse ment Populists would expect to get Democratic support in six or eight legislative districts in that section. The Democrats hold the balance of power in these districts and have not yet made nominations. An Actor’s Ex-Father-in-Law Mad. Sacramento, Cal., Sept. 18.—W. H. Thompson, an actor in the Frohrnan company, was attacked in the hav of the Golden Eagle hotel by John Greer, the father of Thompson’s divorced wife. Greer drew a pistol bat was prevented from using it. In explanation of his attack, Greer said that Thompson had mistreated his wife, failed to provide for her and then borrowed money from her pa rents which he failed to repay. Cherokee Kan., 3Iiners Strike. Cherokee, Ivan., Sept. IS. —The miners at the .1. If. Durkee coal com pany's No. 4 shaft struck this morning for sixty cents per ton for coal and pay every two weeks. The men are getting fifty-four cents and claim that the company agreed to pay them sixty cents from*Sept 1, but failed to do so. A committee was appointed to lay the matter before Superinten dent Umble at Weir City. General Miles to Go East. Chicago, Sept. 18.—It was definitely announced to-day that General Nelson A Miles will be transferred to Gover nor's island upon the retirement of General Howard, November 8. It is thought that General Huger will suc ceed Miles as major general in the command of the department of Mis souri. Many Democrats of the Ninth con gressional district of Iowa are op posed to the indorsement by their party of General Weaver and want to put up a candidate against him. j SWIFT ON THE TURF. ROBERT J MAKES A MILE IN VERY FASTTIME. At Torre Haute, Ind.. lie Comes Under tli© Wire I.ike a Whirlwind at 2*01 1-2 —Carbonate Lowers the Two-Year-Old Record, Landing the Mile in 2!09 Flat. —John R. Gentry Breaks the Stallion Record, Making the Mile in 2:03 3-4 — j Alixis Fails to Meet Expectations. Records Go RHinuiering. TF.r.itF. Haute, 1 n d., Sept. 17.— World’s records went glimmering over ti e Terre Haute track yesterday which now holds all but two—the fastest three heat pace and the fastest 2 year-old pacing race records. There is hung up the fastest mile ever gone by a horse in harness, Hubert J., 2:01%, the miles of Nancy Hanks and Alix, eacii in 2:01; tiie world’s record for 4-year-old trotters, made by Fan tasy in 2:0G; the fastest six heat race ever gone by a 3-year-old; Expres sive’s great race three weeks ago, the fastest 2-year-old trotting record, Oakland Baron's mile in 2:1G; Whirli gig’s 3-year-old pacing record of 2:10; the stallion pacing record of 2:03% by John R. Gentry and the stallion record of 2:01 by Joe I’atchen; the marvelous mile by the 2-vear-old pacer done by Carbonale in 2:00 and bis previous record of 2:10 tied bv Di rectly. That is why the town is wild with enthusiasm. Geers was up behind Robert J. and at the second trial the word was given. The clip was so fast that the pacemaker fell behind, tiie first quar ter being done in 30%' seconds. Up the liili lie went at even a faster gait and was at the half in 1:00%. Down the third-quarter the unbeaten geld ing came like a whirlwind; 29% sec onds marked his lime for that quarter and he was at the three-quarter pole in 1:30%. Geers, with rein and voice, gently reefed the gelding, who came true and strong, never for a moment wavering under the terrific trial, and a moment later Geers landed Robert J. under the wire in 2:01%. Scarcely less marvelous was the great performance of the 2-year-old pacer Carbonate. A half hour before liis only rival, Directly, had gone to lower tiie mark made by Carbonate on Wednesday. But the fast son of Direct was unequal to the task and could do no better than tie it. Then came Carbonate, the beautiful gray son of Superior. Jack Curry held the reins over the youngster. Ed. Geers, with Ferdinand, was the pacemaker. The colt went away true and strong. He reeled off the first quarter in :33,% Up hill he went to the half at a 2:08 clip, doing the half in 1:0334. Still faster was that speedy third quarter and at a 2:06 gait he was at the third quarter at 1:35. His tender mouth caused him to falter for a moment, when Curry took the reins to reef him. It was but for a moment and again he vva away and landed the heat in 2:09 flat, lowering the world’s record for 2-year-olds. Again the crowd went wild and cheered both Carbonate, his owner. Major Dubois of Denver, and his driver, Jack Curry, till it was tired out. There was great disappointment over the Alix performance. With so perfect a day and a track it was thought the mare could make a new world's record for trotters. But she had tied the Nancy Hanks record on Wednesday, and it was too much to make a second effort the same week. Besides she seemed nerv ous. She did not get away strong, it taking 31% seconds to do the first quarter. When the half was reached in 1:02% the crowd dropped back re signedly. The down hill to the third quarter was in the same time as in tiie second. Then hope was aban doned by the silent crowd. On she came at a still slower rate, doing the mile in 2:0434 G. A. R. SHORT ACE. ladies* 1'ast National Treasurer Ac cused of Misappropriating; Funds. Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. IT.—By an official announcement, .Mrs. Anna E. Grubb of Camden, X. J., past na tional treasurer of the ladies of the G. A. R., is charged with misappro priating the funds of the organiza tion. This statement in the ladies’ meeting created a sensation un equalled in the history of the order \ since its beginning. The proceedings of the convention were secret. One of the ladies, who is in high standing, makes the statement that Mrs. Grubb has defaulted to the i amount of S500 and suit has been brought against her bondsmen to recover. Mrs. Grubb she says, was re-elected to the oSiee several times and had the confidence of the ladies to such an extent that the auditors ;n going over her books considered it necessary only to make a cursory examination. How long the shortage lias existed is not stated, but at the Washington encampment the books were thought to be correct and she was re-elected. At Indian apolis in 1893 when the new treas urer was elected. Mrs. Grubbs failed to turn over some of the books an;l investigation then discovered the discrepancy. CHOLERA AT TACOMA. WASH. Captain Bridgman ot thp Baltimore Dies From the Scourge. Tacoma, t\ash., Sept. 17.—Cantain W. P. Bridgman of the United Stat: s man-of-war Baltimore, died here of Asiatic cholera. He contracted the disease recently in China. Washington, Sept. 17.—The register of the interior department, complete to .July 1, shows that the total num ber of employes then was 14,013. Of these 4,042 were in the department proper at Washington, 719 outside the department proper, but in Washing ton. and 9,282 outside the department proper and not at Washington. Of the latter class there were 730 in the land service, 3,670 in the Indian ser vice, 4.762 in the pension service and 108 miscellaneous. Of the total num ber 452 were appointed by the presi dent, 4,367 by the secretary and 9,224 by subordinates. UNCLE SAM’S FINANCES. Internal Ilcvenu'j Receipts Very Small ami Customs Returns Only MoJerate. Washington, Sept. 17.—The reve nues of the government have fallen almost 813,000,000 during the first fourteen days of this month as com pared with the last half of August. The receipts from customs for the first fourteen days of this month amounted to $0,227,000 (in round num bers) against 80,730,000 for the last half of August, whijif the receipts from internal revenue were but 32,203,000, compared with $20,634,000 for tlie latter half of August. The loss is due to the enormous sums paid on whisky withdrawn for consumption just before the new tariff act increas ing the tax from ninety cents to $1.10 per gallon went into effect. The receipts from internal revenue for the first fourteen days of the month dwindled to $2,927,000—about $450,000 below the normal and were not counterbalanced by an increase in the receipts from customs due to heavy importations under the reduc ed rates immediately following the enactment of the new law, the cusfoin receipts increasing only about $3,000, 000. The receipts from internal rev enue are now confined almost en tirely to the tax paid on beer, cigars, cigarettes and tobacco, and average about $350,000 per day, while for July and August, when so much whisky was being withdrawn, they averaged over $1,000,000 daily. It is not expected the receipts from the tax on alcoholic spirit; will reach normal again before January 1, 1895. This will have the effect, it is be lieved, of keeping the receipls of the treasury down to about two-thirds of the normal, or in other words to about $22,000,000 per month until Jan uary 1. This estimate leaves out of account any large increase in the im portations arising from the operations of the new tariff law. The expendi tures have averaged about$24,090,000, but without the sugar bounty, which is now a thing of the past, they will be reduced to about $31,000,000. For tiie next four months it is estimated that the receipts will be about $8S, 009,000 and the expenditures about $124,000,000. BUSINESS SITUATION. Not Many Changes Noted Under Three Weeks of the New Tariff Kill. New York, Sept. IT.—K. O. Dun's Weekly Review of Trade says: JSusi ness lias met no setback this week and continues larger than earlier in August and larger than a year ago directly after the panic. The country has now passed nearly three weeks under the tariff and all admit that changes have been of less importance as yet than was expected. If in some brandies business has materially in creased, it has gained a little or has fallen off in others. Loss in some directions is explained by crop reports, for the most favorable estimate of experts puts the loss of corn at about 400,000,000 bushels, whereas the government report is by some interpreted as meaning a loss of 3,000,000,000 bushels. The opinion of the trade does not favor the official estimate, and the price lias not risen at all during the week, though re ceipts have been very small. Exports have practically ceased, and all real ize the shrinkage of 400,000,000 bushels is serious if it proves to be no greater, since it must affect the prices of meats for a year or more. Pork is unchanged, but lard has risen 30 cents per 100 pounds. Nor are official reports encouraging as to wheat. Western receipts in two weeks have been 11,184,687 bushels, against 10,074,701 last year, and At lantic exports only 3,074,700, against 5,100,503 last year, and the price is one-half cent lower. Considerable injury is officially reported to cotton, but few expect less than 8,500,000 bales, which is more than enough, and the price is one-sixteenth lower. PLUNGED ON WHEAT. An Unknown California Magnate Stands to Dose a Full Million Dollars. San Fuaxcisco, Sept, 17.—Somebody stands to lose a million dollars on wheat, and San Francisco grain men are wondering who it is. For months L. F. McGlaughlin bought wheat for some unknown speculator until he had accumulated between 175,000 and 200, 000 tons for which lie paid an average price of $1.20 per cental. At present prices he cannot realize within thirty live cents of as much as he paid per cental for this immense quantity of wheat. It is said by grain dealers here that ex-Senator James G. Fair is t'ne only man on the coast who has enough ready money to back Mc Glaughlin in such a big deal and it now looks as if lie had made an error in his calculations that will involve the loss of $1,000,000. When McGlaugh lin began to buy last winter wheat was never before so low. Under the stimulus of big purchases the price went up but it soon fell and wheat is now lower than ever. It is calculated that there are at present between SO"), 000 and 900.000 ton-, of wheat in the state that a market must be found for. All this wheat must be shipped out of the country and ship owners are holding hack for high charters. I Ightnlng Causes a Frau’s Death. Mexico.
