A Joke on Rosewater. , i Last week , every Dane and Norwegian ' in the , vicinity of Quick postoffice , in Frontier county , received a paper printed in Swede. There was no name or heading - ing on the sheet , and no date or ought else to signify its origin. But the sheet contained two of Rosewater's speeches and a few small items of a political sort. But the joke of the whole matter is that there is only one Swede in the whole t neighborhood who could read the paper , and its contents were a blank to the i Danes and Norwegians who , almost without - , out exception , are unable to read Swed- r isle print. l Here's a Fine Chance To rent a productive farm on Red Willow Creek , at Box Elder ; near fine church and school privileges $ See worth I of produce raised'on the e5 acres of bottom - tom land this year.

When it comes to Wolfe hunting , Mr. Howe Smith , one of the finest , can give you points and win the game. Messrs. , McBrayer & Osborn of the White Line , have dissolved partnership. They will each continue in the dray business - iness on their own hook. The abstract of the votes cast at the election , Tuesday , appearing on our editorial - torial page , will be found to be substantially - tially correct. Limited time has made a careful comparisonimpossible. C. L. DeGroff & Co , sport a large and handsome new sign on the north side of their store building , advertising "Duke's Mixture" and their own busi- ness. A representative of the tobacco company painted the same in an artistic manner , the close of last week. The following letters remain uncalled for at the McCook postoffice , November 4th , 1894. In calling for any of the above please say "advertised. " Crowell , Mr. Will ; Gay , Mrs. Nettie ; Hourigan , Mr. James ; Jones , Wm. J. ; Ritchie , James C. ; RuM , L. L. C. H. MEEKER , Postmaster. If THE TRIBUNE is not mistaken there is quite a severe penalty on our statute books against selling tobacco in any Corm to minors. But the number of school lads , large and small , to be seen every day going to and from school with cigars and cigarettes in their mouths would indicate that the law is not being observed to any alarming extent , as it certainly should- . Mr. and Mrs. C. T. Beggs had the misfortune - fortune to lose their infant sou Robert , aged L7 months , last night , from a relapse - lapse of cholera infantun. The little one has been ill ever since July , when its life was despaired of from a severe attack of the above malady. , The bereaved - reaved parents have the deep and tender sympathy of all in their sorrow. The funeral will be held from the residence tomorrow afternoon at two o'clock. Friends are invited. A very interesting and profitable hour was spent with the Red Willow Christian Endeavorers at their temperance meeting - ing last Sunday afternoon by quite a number of the McCook Endeavorers. The programme was carried out as arranged - ranged with the exception of the paper by Howard Finity , who was unable to be present. All who attended will testify - tify to the encouragement given and the uplift experienced by the discussions , and their zeal was stirred to renewed activities against the saloon power.

Tuesday's election was without striking - ing or startling incident. There was a surprisingly large vote cast , but everything - thing passed off smoothly and quietly , although every effort was made by the republicans especially to get out every vote , and the result shows an unprecedented - dented majority for the republican ticket : Majors received the highest majority , 277 ; Rathbun , 270 ; Andrews , 231 ; Lamborn , 205 ; Berry , 92 ; Keyes , 8r. That a lively and deep interest was felt in the election was manifested - ed in the large crowds that made their headquarters at the city hall and at other points in the city , and there was considerable enthusiasm displayed when the result in the precinct became known , Well ! WELL ! ! ' WELL ! ! ! Excuse us while we vocalize. As has been stated this is a republican year. The Czar is dead-but Little Russia still lives. Majors had votes in McCook to throw at the birds. McCook'svote was surprisingly large for a dry year. The country has doubtless been saved by a large majority. Rathbun's majority is placed safely at 300 for state senator. Tuesday was a sad sad day for Red fi'illow county populists. Politically speaking , Lamborn is some- whatof a hummer himself. Bee , republican , will represent Furnas county , vice Stevens , populist. The "little giant of the fifth" made a magnificent race in Red Willow county. Referring to McCook's republicanism , it's of a very prolific and enthusiastic kind , anyhow. McBride , populist , carries the representative - sentative district formed by Frontier and Gosper counties. McCook stayed by Messrs. Lamborn and Keyes.like a major. That's a winning - ning way we have. Lamborn run like a frightened hare in McCook , and it much more thart made up far the little surprise lie received at borne. Andrews has 1,370 majority with three counties to hear from. His official majority - jority will be between ten and twelve hundred. Cole , republican , is elected in the representative district composed of the counties of Hitchcock , Hayes , Dundy and Chase. The populists only elected three representatives - resentatives in Southwestern Nebraska , McBride , Soderman of Phelps and the representative from Harlan county. Red Willow county went straight republican - publican by fine majorities , save Meserve -whose splendid conduct of the treas- urer's office the past few months carried him through by IS2 majority. H. H. Easterday , the ever genial and clever colonel , will assess your diamonds and plate , next spring. The other fellow wasn't iu it. He wasn't even on the ticket. And the colonel had everything his own way. Jake Burnett has , or rather has had , two magpies at his lunch counter at the depot. He only has one bird now. The birds belonged to the republican and democratic faiths respectively- The democratic magpie was a very sensitive bird , according to Jake's account , and when the wires became hot with the lurid accounts of the irresistible republican - lican landslide , Tuesday evening , why that bird deliberately hung itself.

Fairmont Signal , Tuberculosis in cows is epidemic in different parts of Iowa , and as a result several cases of consumption and deaths are reported of persons on account of impure milk. Such is the substance of a circular letter emanating from the state board of health to all of the local representatives in different portions of the state. Precaution is given to prevent the spread. A large number of cattle have already been killed. Two fine black-tailed deer were purchased - chased by F. S. Wilcox of the B. & M. meat market , Monday. The animals were killed out in the sand hills , last week , by a farmer named Deitz , who lives in Hitchcock county north of Cul- bertson.
