THIRTEENTH YEAR. McCOOK , RED WILLOW COUNTY'NEI3RA5RA , FRIDAY EVENING , MAR. 15 , 1895. NUMBER 43 1
THE CITY CAMPAIGN
I
, 'For the Spring Election o4 1895 is
1
t $ Now Open.
The opposing forces have each chosen
! ' their standard bearers and the municipal
campaign may now be said to be fairly
1 open. A non-partisan ticket was on
TueslaY certified up to the city clerk b Y
: petition which was numerously signed ;
1 and by a class of citizens which at once
wive it elements of strength , in addition
i to the weight the personal qualifications
of those on the same carry to the ticket.
The petition ticket is made up as follows :
PRTITION TICKET.
Mayor Jacob Burnett.
Clerk-Chas. F. Babcock ,
Treasurer-Cha L. DeGroff.
Engineer-Chas H Meeker.
Councilman , for first ward-H , H. Eas-
terday.
Councilman , for second ward-R. L.
I tinker.
Members of board of education-R. B.
Archibald , Z L Kay , J , F Kenyon and
w. T Coleman.
OnVednesday evening. pursuant to
call the republicans of the city met in
the city hall and placed in nomination
the following ticket :
I REPUBLICAN TICKET.
Mayor J. E. Kelley ,
Clerk-E , J , Wilcox.
f Treasurer-E L. Laycoek.
Engineer-Clarence Whittaker.
Councilman , first ward-\V. S. . Perry.
Councilman for second ward-k. M.
' Osboru.
Members of board of education-R. B.
1 Archibald , John Wentz , E. H. Doan
a1)d J' M. Henderson.
H. H. Berry was chairman of the
caucus , C. W. Barnes , secretary ; Ed
Jordan , assistant secretary. The caucus
was Icarmonious and those composing
the same confident of success.
Without going into a personal recital
of the virtuesqualifications and strength
of the two tickets now in the field , it is
worthy mention thaf both tickets are in
the main made up of meritorious nomi-
sees , and that they have combined elements -
ments of strength and excellence which
will in any event give the city and the I
schools good government ; while tacit -
t dentally they contain the material for a
red hot municipal campaign , beyond a
. peradventure.
So far as we are able to apprehend the
petition ticket wants to come before the
I people of McCook under the banner of
Teform , its friends and supporters claiming -
ing the necessity exists for improvement
I in some departments of our municipal
I administration. To this end they have
put forward a clean , able ticket.
1 The republican ticket is made up es-
spntially on the lines adopted by the
i present administration , which though by
.no means escaping criticism , has to very
many respects been one of the best the
city has ever lead. The republican ticket
will doubtless be willing to come before
the voters of the city on the record made ,
offering the same as the best earnest of
4heir future course in administering the
affairs of the city , in case victory is their
portion in the coming election ; and they
( fell very' confident of success , and enthusiastic -
siastic over the nominations made on
\Ve daesday night.
The natter now rests with the voters
I
, of the city. You can show your preferences -
ences on Tuesday , April 2d , by the usual
sign-X.
All for One Dime.
There was a splendid turn out to the
dime social held in the Congregational
churchTuesday evening , by the ladies of
the Dorcas society. Besides the guessing
contest , "A Penny for Your Thoughts , "
Prof Valentine read how Charles Dudley -
ley Warren killed a bear , in his usual
charming and clever fashion , and Miss
Grace Sanborn sang a solo for which she
was recalled. Miss Pearl Brewer-who
was one among the twenty-five successful -
ful contestatcts-finally succeeded in getting -
ting the prize. The social concluded
with refreshments , consisting of sandwiches -
wiches , coffee and piewbich were served
in the church parlors.
The social was one of quite unusual
pleasure and profit.

Raided the House.
Last Friday evening , luting the absence -
sence of the family at the meeting of a
neighborhood literary society , the house
of James Harris over in Driftwood precinct -
cinct was raided , and a wagon load of
aid goods and personal property was
stolen and hauled away. Among the
goods stolen were lee pounds of flour , a
number of bushels of seed oats , wheat ,
eot n , besides a valuable saddle , a watch ,
pocket book , etc.
Deputy Sheriff Babcock went down
into Grant precinct on Sunday and
searched the premises of a man named
'Kelley , who lives near the Kansas line ,
but no goods were recovered , although
it is claimed the wagon was tracked to
Kelley's place.
So the matter rests at the present
writing. This9s doubtless but another
incident of this unfortunate aid business
; which has for weeks distracted that
neighborhood.

Among the questions taken from the

"How do ducks take their food from

The bill known as house roll No. t , by
Lamborn of Red Willow , authorizing
the voting of county bonds to purchase
seed grain and feed for teams , is to all
intents and purposes a dead letter. This
is admitted notwithstanding there has
been no test or official action on such t ' 1
>
bonds by Auditor Moore or Attorney
General Churchill It has been generally - '
ally understood over the state that bonds t
voted under this act would not be valid ,
because of the clause in the , bill that
directs and makes it the duty of the ,
state board of educational lands and
funds to invest the permanent school
fund in such bonds at par value.
Representative Lamborn introduced
the bill without that clause , but it was
tacked on in the senate. Friends of the
bill hoped that if it proved to be unconstitutional -
stitutional it would be winked at and Ir,1 I
the constitution stretcliad a little , as t r,1
they claim it has been in the past in .
other matters of relief , and they are stir- I
prised at the rapidity with which the
reports spread that the bonds contemplated -
plated would be illegal. They are in-
dined to believe the act was practically
killed , not by those who are sticklers for
'
constitutional observance but by bankers - I
ers of Lincoln and Omaha who feared 6
the voting of bone's would take from the
banks a great part of the educational
fund which is on deposit.
The story goes that a prominent banker -
er of Red Willow county was at first
greatly interested in calling an election
under the act to vote county bonds for
relief. He circulated petitions a n d
worked faithfully. A short time before
election , it is said , he received a letter
rrom N. S. Harwood of Lincoln , and
from that time he lost all interest in the
bonds and no longer favored the propo-
sition. Representative Lamborn says
the letter called the banker's attention
to the fact that the etcforcentent of the
act would compel investment of the permanent -
manent school fund , a fund which is to
1
remain inviolate and unimpaired.
