FOURTEENTH YEAR. McCOOK , RED WILLOW COUNTY , NEBRASKA , FRIDAY EVENING , NOVEMBER 29 , 1898. NUMBER 28. ; . ,
A Terrible Railroad Disaster.
A head-end collision between No , 4 ,
Chicago limited express , and a fast
Freight , occurred on the Santa Fe road
near Shoemaker , a siding twenty-eight
miles north of has Vegas , on last Monday -
day , which resulted in the death of two
persons and he serious injury of many
others.
The fatal accident occurred on a curve
near a steep embankment overhanging a
river , the mail , express and chair cars
being thrown into the water. The cause
. of the wreck was due to the fact that the
freight failed to make the siding in time
to allow the express to pass.
F. D. Pitney , a former resident of our
city , anti son-in-law of Dr. and Mrs. Peter
Boyle , was one who met his death in
the terrible disaster , being burned beyond -
yond recognition and his head severed
from his body. He was in the employ of
the postal service , running from ha junta
to Santa Fe. Several years ago he was
Superintendent of the schools at Culbert-
son , and afterward was employed by the
DenverTramway Company as conductor.
C. H. Boyle , brother-iii-law of the deceased -
ceased , was in Orleans when the news
, was received , and left on Tuesday even-
- lug for La Junta , where the family rep -
. p . - sided. The remains were accompanied
by Mrs. Pitney and her brother to Tampa -
pa , Illinois , the home of Mr. Pitney's
, Parents , where the interment will taker
place.
Deceased vas 35 years of age and leaves
j a wife and three small children , who have
' . the heartfelt sympathyof this entire coin-
# ; rnuuity in their bereavement.

Republican Valley Irrigation
Convention.
THE TRIBUNE takesgreat pleasure in
endorsing the proposed holding at Mc-
- Cook , about the middle of February
next , of a Republican Valleyy irrigatiou
convention , such convention being for
double pnrpose of general irrigation discussion -
cussion and the taking of definite steps
for organizing the valleys of the Republican
lican and Frenclimatt rivers , under the
new state law , into districts to be bounded -
.
ed for the construction of respective district -
trict irrigation wcrks.
Such work of district organization and
" irrigation construction is already in ac-
five process in the western portion of
the state , notably in Keith county , and
southwestern Nebraska cannot afford to
lose step for an instant in irrigation's
rapid onward march.
Annual Meeting.
The annual meeting of the Red Willow
County Agricultural Society will be held
t at the court house in Indianola on Satur-
urday , December 7th , 1895 , at I o'clock
p. m. Said meeting is for the purpose
of closing up the business of the year
1895 , electing officers for the ensuing
year , and transacting such other business
as may be necessary.
Remember that this is the time for
suggestions or changes necessaryy to be
made for the success of the society. Let
every precinct be represented , and don't
let the business be done by the few. Let
us start with a good attendance at this
meeting. Ladies , come ; you are invited.
C. W. BECK , Secretary.
A Regiment on Wheels.
One of the most striking recommence -
dations in the report of Gen. Miles is
that "a force equal to one full regiment
of twelve companies be equiped with bi-
cyclesand motor wagons , and their utility
thoroughly demonstrated by actual ser-
vice" . He observes that there are more
than 4,000 officers and men in the army
who are able to use the bicycle as a
means of transportation , so that a sufficient -
cient number of the most efficient and
skilled of them would be selected for
such a regiment.
An old Settler Dead.
The early settlers of McCook , will all
remember Grandpa Sims , father of Mrs.
} [ V. W. Fisher , now living at Wauneta.
The old gentleman died on Monday ,
November 24th. at the good old age of
. 83 years. The family have the sympathy
thy of the old time friends.
- Death of Mrs. Fowler.
Mrs. Adelia A. Fowler , mother of the

her home in Chicago , Saturday night ,

1 T. A. Erb of the Commercial hotel
' ' has patented an improvement in wind-
mills. The invention consists of a windmill -
mill comprising a tower , a casing arranged -
ranged to turn thereon and provided
with a shaft projecting from the opposite
sides , and carrying at its extremities
wind wheels adapted to be turned by the
: - wind. It is more simple and inexpen-
, sire than various other similar wind-
mills. Mr. Erb has had 20 years experience -
ience in the windmill business and for
' : nine years he has been perfecting what
# he has patented.

McCook certainly is very lucky in
regard to fires. Friday afternoon , the'
roof of John Bennett's cigar store was
covered with smoke ; an alarm was
turned in and the fire laddies responded
at once , but they could not find the cause.
After cutting two holes in the roof the
difficulty was found : Geo. Chenery has
opened a fruit store , next door south of
Bennett's , and had started a fire in the
front part ; the chimney to that part has
no outlet and the smoke forced its way
over Bennett's roof. The men carried
the stove out and the fire was over.

throat like the sound of an accordian in
need of repairs.

WHAT ALTA THOUGH ! ' .
OIL dear , I think it is a shame ,
We must go to school today ;
The teacher might have let us off. ;
And have our holiday.
1ti e 11 speak our pieces one by one ,
And make fun of each one when they're done. ! 1
And Myrtle says that SUE don't care ,
But I am very sure I do ;
At home they'll have cranberry saui e ,
Mince pie and turkey , too.
There goes Dana Van to speak his piece ,
I think his voice needs a little grease.
Likely he'll want to have school Christmas , ton.
But I'll tell you I'i.L not conic.
There goes Myrtle M. , with her baby verse-
Oh dear , I wish I was home.
Just look at Leo bow and spread ,
lie thinks he's got an Encyclopedia head.
Now who will be next one trotted up-
There becomes , it's Delbert B.
Well , he doesn't do so very bad ,
If he wouldn't so mighty self-conscious be.
My ! how I Do wish this show was o'er ,
There's Charley and Ethel anal a dozen
more.
I wish , 0 yes , I wish , but then ,
What is the use of all my wishes ;
One thing is sure , I'l be at home
In time to wash that pile of dishes.
There's my turn , the teacher's calling Alta. Gi
The next to exhibit is Myrtle C.
WIiAT MYRTLE TIIOUCIIT. I
I'd think Afta'd be ashamed
To talk in such a way. ,
I should think that she'd thankful b e
That she's alive today.

And she a member of our league ,
She should the weaker ones help lead. r
We older ones should ready be.
And lend a willing hand ,
To help the little ones along.
In every way we can-
( My , the young ones Do act mean today
Jest look at Bert and Mamie play. )
We cannot check the busyy hand ,
Nor stay the restless feet-
( If I was Minnie over there
I'd slap that Bead to sleep.
How then big boys do 'act the fool ;
If the teacher heard that. 'spoke I'd sty
after schooLl
We should do our dutyy everyy day-
(0 my , just look at Lillie C.
She's got her hair done this time ,
She's sure way up in G.
There's Emma B. dressed up to kill.
She'd make a mash in a waltz quadrilk : . ) ,
See Mable W. and Lola M. .
They're making eyes at Eddie B. ;
