{ 1 M'00K TRIBUNE. F. AL KIMMELL , Pablisher. MCCOOK , NEBiiASKA.a California claret is at last proven to be a good fire-extinguisher. How about California brandy ? Henry Labouchere has always been a Warm admirer of this country. And his keen delight in lampooning our Crok ers may be taken as another evidence of his friendship. The men accused of murdering Scott , the Treasurer of Holt County , Nebraska - ka , have been acquitted. Nothing else was expected. Among savages the taking - ing of human life Is regarded lightly. The marriage under the trees at I Ridge Lawn Bay Ridge , L. I , of Miss Bertha C. Perry and Pierre Lorillard # r I Ronalds , Jr , attracted much attention from its apparent newness. Many years ago , in Central Park , Henry Ward Beecher united a couple under the trees , and at another time , in the same place , a Swedenborgian or New Church wedding made the parties happy. Have women a sense of humor ? During - ing the meetings of the American and British temperance women in London our friend Lady Henry Somerset , who was to have presided on one occasion , was absent , owing to illness produced by overwork. Mrs. Ormiston Chant , in taking her place , said : "Dear Lady Henry has been overworked , and we I must , of course , be careful not to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. " A New York exchange remarks the advancement of the new woman. One of its reporters testifies that he saw a Specimen of the genus new woman descend - scend from an elevated railway depot and pause at the curbstone. She there seized her nose between the thumb and forefinger , in one time and two motions - tions , and blew taps with a resonance that would. have made the performer the envy of the flowery. From this it 1s manifest that the new woman is i under strict surveillance in New York. 1 ' Mrs. Leland Stanford will dispose of t her collection 0f jewels , valued at over ' $500,000. Among the jewels is the famous - ous Empress Eugenie diamond necklace - lace , for which Mrs. Stanford paid a fabulous price. Mrs. Stanford's action is her desire to make the Stanford uni- i versit5 a success. The litigation with the government over the Stanford : estate has tied up the income , and ; S funds are badly needed to maintain the -S university. In order to raise the necessary - cessary money Mrs. Stanford will sacrifice - rifice her jewels. Bridgehamptlon , L. I. , is not to be en- 5 vied. A meeting held to erect a monu- 2 went to the soldiers and sailors of the , ; : town broke up without effecting the oh- . ject. There were some present who opposed including the soldiers and sailors - ors of the Revolution but in favor of honoring those of the Mexican and the . ' late war between the states. The Tory feeling is not creditable to any Amen- , - . can. Bnt'it has survived in some quarters - ters the hundred years and more of 3 American freedom. Among our fashionables - ionables there are descendants of Tories who still ape everything English , you ' , know. t : - : - i Since Bishop Follows' success in changing saloons into temperance resorts - sorts in Chicago an enterprise somewhat - what similar has been undertaken in Buffalo. The famous "Gold Dollar Saloon , with its gorgeous fitting , its bar inlaid with $50 gold pieces and its floor studded with $20 gold coins , has now been transformed into a home for i temperance advocates , and is owned by a stock company of ministers and business - ness men. The former proprietor of the establishment has also been retained - tained , at his own desire , and now dispenses - penses harmless beverages instead of ruinous liquors. Twelve hundred incandescent - candescent lamps illuminate the in- , ' tenor , and its walls are hung with i works of art. ' In the address at the commencement exercises of the New York Trade school ex-Mayor Hewitt said : "If you aslc t whether it is right of the workmen to ] 'i associate together for the general welfare - fare , and to increase the rate of labor , I : ' then I say yes. It is not only their right but their duty. But it is wheni the trades-union steps ttetween the pale i - . : of the law , and assumes the right to tc.

The Nebraska Reunion. Hastings is making extensive preparations - ations for the reunion which takes place there on the 26th , 27th , 2Sth , 29th , 30th and 31st of August.

In the language - guage of a circular issued to all mankind - kind , "A weeks recreation will make a new man of you. Your neighbors will all be there and they will want to see you. There will be balloon ascensions every day and fireworks on three even- ings. There will be four big reunions all held at the same time. The Xe- braska G. A. R. ; the Kansas-Nebraska Interstate G. A. H. reunion ; the Nebraska - braska Band Union reunion and the Nebraska National Guards Encamp- ment.

Enjoy the fun and the freedom which the boys won by their valor on the field of battle. The Russian Thistle Law. The question of enforcing the provisions - ions of the Russian thistle law in western - ern counties , says a Sidney dispatch , is fast becoming one of considerable im- portance. 't'here are many hundred thousand acres of vacant government land and educational lands in these western counties and as the Russian thistle law makes no provision for the destruction of the thistles on such lands , there seems no way to meet the emergency - gency of the case. Several of the t ; est- ern counties have practically abandoned - ed the destruction of this pest and there seems to be no way out of thedifliculty unless the general government comes to the rescue. The literal compliance with the provisions of the law means bankruptcy to all the western counties. Coming Back to Nebraska. her vich ( Conn. ) dispatch : Mrs. Annie T. Gardiner , the missing Nebraska - braska Christian endeavor delegate of Arcadia , Neb. , who was found living as a domestic here in the family of Edward Il.

TEN IVY DEP9RTIE NT RECEIVE AD VICE S FROM CIII N,9r DETROIT GOES TO CHE F00. As That Place Is Further From the Scene of the Riots Tlutu Shanghai , SYash- ington Officials Believe That the AttLLcks on American Missionaries - aries Arc Ended-Infor- mation Called For. WASIIINGTON , Aug. 12.-A telegram was received at the navy department to-day announcing that Commander Newell had sailed with the Detroit from Shanghai to Che Foo. This latter port is further from the scene of the riots than Shanghai , and the navy ofli- dals take this as indicating that the United States authorities iii China do not fear further outbreaks , especially in the regon near Shanghai. Upon receipt of the telegram. Assistant - sistant Secretary McAdoo telegraphed to Admiral Carpenter , advising him that there was a great deal of apprehension - hension here that American citizens in China might lose their lives and property - erty , and telling him that every possible - sible effort should be made to protect American citizens. He also asked the admiral to cable him at once. the real situation , and whether there was danger - ger of further disturbances. Admiral Carpenterwith the fiagship Baltimore , is at Nagasaki , Japan , which is about 400 miles from Shanghai across the Japan sea , but there is no doubt that he is well informed as to the situation. NATURAL GAS OF AMERICA , The Supply Found in Many Sections , but StcadIly Decreasing in Amount. WasulxGTox , Aug. 12. TIme natural gas industry is fully reviewed in the annual report of the geological survey. The most important gas fields now are those of Western Pennsylvania , Western - ern New York , Northwestern Ohio and Central Indianabutgas hasbeen found in commercial quantities also in Arkansas - sas , California , Illinois , Kansas , Kentucky - tucky , Louisiana , Missouri , South Dakota , , Tennessee , Utah , West Virginia , Wisconsin and Wyoming. The highest actually observed pressure - sure has been about S00 pounds to the square inch , closed pressure. In all districts the pressure has increased steadily and materially. Heretofore natural gas could be easily carried in pipes for long distances under its own pressure. but now in most places artificial - ficial means must be used to drive it to 1 l the place where it is needed. No f statement of the amount of natural gas consumed has ever been given anal the report says it is not possible to make one. The amount has been . greatly reduced within the last few i years by the cutting off of the enormous - mous waste that existed , while improved - proved appliances have doubled the 1 efficiency of what is used. The total t value of that t consumed in 1c94 was nearly $1.4,000,000. This is a steady ' decrease from when s 1SSS , the value was $22,500,000. Missouri Chautauqua Plans for 1810.

H ' " 1 TRADE UNUSUALLY BRISK , Dusness Continues Active Without a Slgn pt Reaction. NEw Yonlc , Aug. 12.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade- says : , Business continues unusually active for midsummer , and , though there is no perceptible relaxation , there are no signs of reaction. The one change of great importance which the past week has brought is eminently helpful-the amicable settlement between coal miners and employers in Western Pennsylvania , Ohio and Indiana. It is said that about 100,000 men will have their wages increased after October : by this adjustment , and , while the en- Iargoment of purchasing power is of consequence , it seems even more important - portant that a chronic cause of controversy - troversy has been removed by the new agreement as to company stores. There is no important change in crop prospects , and at this time no news is eminently good news. Speculation has been more successful - ful in cotton than in any other product - duct during the past week , and has lifted the price an eighth. Wheat has declined a fraction , with very scanty transactions , the extremely small western receipts influencing the market - ket for the present more than the restricted - stricted exports. The concerted withholding - holding of wheat by western farmers , if continued , will doubtless affect the price in the end , but it has already stopped Atlantic exports - ports almost entirely , the amount , flour ineludedhaving been only 753,330 bushels for the past week , against ,980,430 bushels for the same week last year , and when foreign markets have supplied their needs from other quarters , the Western farimiers may find reason to regret that they did not ship their wheat at the original time. Corn tends to lower prices , with snore encouraging prospects , and the expectation - pectation of a heavy corn crop affects prices of provisions , as might be ex- pected. Sales of wool are not as much inflated - flated by speculation as they were during - ing the first half of .July , but they still considerably exceed the actual consumption - sumption in time manufacture , amounting - ing at the three chief markets to 0,259,300 pounds. Prices arc very firm. Some staple cotton goods have again advanced in price , and the market is unusually strong for the season. OLNEY FOR THE BENCH. said to be Clevelurd's First Choice to Succeed Jackson. WASIIINGTON , Aug. 12.-Thera is much speculation as to who will be President Cleveland's choice for the United States supreme court bench to succeed time late Justice Jackson , but beyond the mention of available names there is little of a definite nature this early. There are persons , however , whose relations with the president arc of the closest character , who be- ieve that Mr. Cleveland's first choice will be lir. Olney , the secretary - retary of state. It is known that he places implicit confidence in the soundness - ness of Mr. Olney's opinions on all mportant legal questions which come before him , and that he fully appreciates - ciates the great assistance Mr. Olney ias rendered him in time disposition of he great questions that have arisen Luring the last two years. li'hether Jr. Olney's residence in Massacimu- etts will render him unavailable is not known , but it is the opinion of many well informed persons here that but for this objection he would surely be the man. Next to him Mr. Rufus , Peckham is thought by many to be he most likely to receive the nomina- ion. Time question of confirmation will not be raised , it is said. a in time ases of Wheeler II. Pecklutm and Iornblower. TWO YEARS FOR TAYLOR. outli Dakota's Defaulting Treasurer Makes Good Ills Steahings. PIERIm : , S. D. , Aug. 12.

The strongest resolutions , looking to that cnd were passed by the state convention amid a storm of cheers , and practically without a dissenting - senting voice. Further yet , the convention - A vention , by an overwhelming majority - ity , toted to reorganize the state corn- mittee , and nineteen new members.

The fifteen old. members whom , whether right- ] v or wrongly the silver men , laud considered committed to the sound utoney doctrine , 13 to 2 , now finds- i itself purely an ornamental appen- I loge to a soaring majority. 't'here are rumors that possibly thirteen of the old committee will decline to' .

In spite of ! these revolutionary proceedings the , work of the convention has been characterized - acterized by most remarkable bar- , mommy. If the convention faithfully represents the Democratic party of the state , then beyond question 75 per i cent of the party are out and out silver men. The convention began its business with Silver Dick" Bland at the helm. The organization was perfected without - out friction and silver resolutions were i , drawn and adopted and the reorgani- + f nation of the state central committee was decided upon by a vote of 493 to ' O ; ; . Time plan of reorganization agreed ' uI ton was that suggested by the con- ba servatives , which called for the doub- , m. lirg of t.e : old committee , only four 1 ' additional cornmittecnten elected from 1 1 ' : time state at large by the convention j were added. 'T'his mmmalws the new committee - mittee certainly for silver , but as if i this were not enough , the convention went further and so bound time new , central organization by resolutions as ' to the conventions to be held next year , that even were it as hostile as possible to the ivliite metal , its hostility - ity would be futile. In the evening the convention sent greetings to the Democratic state conventions - ventions in session in Mississippi and i Iowa , exhorting them to stand firmly for free silver and 1G to 1. It also sent ' a personal tribute to Senutor Joe i 1 1 Blackburn of Kentucky complimenting ' him on his fight for silveragainst over. whelming odds. r , QUAY HEARD FROM. { r : ho Iennsylvania Senator Scores Ills.

The 1 , statement follows : ' 'I have not met I Mr. Martin nor an member of the i : combine since the present contest ivas- t t begun , nor have I made nor received ' from anybody propositions looking to.
