Congressman Andrews Mentioned for the ! Office of Revenue Collector. _ , Nebraskn will have a good big list of H I applicants for federal positions under H McKinley's administration. Congress- H uian Andrews has already been men- H tioned as the next revenue collector for H Nebraska. During the past week sever al. 1 al delegations of Republicans have gone H to Omaha to present the name of Con- Hj gressman Andrews for the consideration Hl ofSeuatorThurston. Recommendations H from leading men in the state have been B given voluntary in the interests of Con- H gressman Andrews and a big batch of Hi documentary backing will be filed at the H ] proper time. The chances of success are H > considered bright by friends of Mr. An- drews. P. O. Hedlund , deputy auditor 1 of public accounts , the defeated candidate - date for auditor , is also likely to be an ap- H I plicant for the position of collector of H ' . revenues. H : When A. J. Sawyer steps out of the of- H fice of United States district attorney H this place will be filled by a Republican , H and the rush has already commenced The list of Omaha and Lincoln attorneys who waut the place would fill a book , I but few have openly made an annouce- ment.

The University of Nebraska has just issued a very attractive pamphlet de scriptive of the School of Agriculture , which every farmer should send for. This course in agriculture is altogether the most complete , practical and common sense thing of the kind that has ever come under our observation. It is something - thing that no farmer's boy or girl of any ambition can afford to miss. The people in charge of tne school realize the fact that most farmers' sons and daughters cannot afford to spend the time and money required in the preparation for a completion of the regular college course , but that in farming as in every other business , education and training pay. Keeping this in view they have pre pared a short , practical course of three months , beginning December 29th , 1896 , and ending Match 19th. 1897. It provides for the following studies : soil tillage , diseases of farm animals , stock breeding and judging , feeding cattle and hogs , farm dairying , fruit raising and vegetable gardening , carpentry and blacksmithing , domestic economy , etc. An explanation given in the circular of the manner in which this instruction is given , shows that the student obtains much of it by actual practice and obser vation. Not that he will be expected to do the work of the farm with which he is already familiar , but such operations as judging stock , milk testing , improved methods of butter making , tree grafting , treating sick animals , etc. No examinations are required for en trance. There is a registration fee of one dollar. The cost to each student last year for room rent , table board , books , etc. , was about thirty-six dollars. A Cook Book Free. "Tabic and Kitchen" is the title of a new cook book published b } ' the Price Baking Powder Company , Chicago. Just at this time it will be sent free if you write a postal mentioning The McCook Tribune. This book has been tried by ourselves and is one of the very best of its kind. Besides containing over 400 receipts for all kinds of pastry and home cookery , there are many hints for the table and kitchen , showing how to set a table , how to enter a dining room , etc. ; a hundred and one hints in every branch of the culinary art Cookery of the very finest and richest as well as of the most economical and home like , is provided for. Rememher "Table and Kitchen" will be sent , postage prepaid , to any lady sending bar address ( name , town and state ) plainly given. A copy in German or Scandinavian will be sent if desired Postal card is as good as letter. Address Price Baking Powder Co. , Chicago , 111. Educational Meeting. All persons interested are invited to attend the meetings of the Southwestern Nebraska Educational association , next week. The evening lectures will be given in the Congregational church and the day sessions will be held in the east school building. ' Rememher Prof. Bowlus' talk on ' 'The Greeny" , Thursday evening , and Chan cellor MacLean's address on Friday evening. Stalwart Silver Men- • C.J. Ryan and Harry Barbazett are such stalwart silver men that it is diffi cult for them to tell the difference be tween a nickel and a five dollar gold piece. And this caused both of them troublesome and annoying searches , this week. PROSPECT PARK. Andrew Anderson and wife visited - , ited at E. G. Dunham's , Sunday. Eugene Dunham is helping J.

BARTLEY. Ed. Mitchell of the metropolis was in'town , Tuesday , gathering items of interest for his paper. One of Bev. I. N. Clover's sons is here from Omaha spending a few days with his parents and friends. The Staloy Bros , sojourned over Monday night iu our town with a fine herd of steers , purchased from J. B. Meserve. E. E. Smith spent Tuesday aud Wednesday in the vicinity of Stock- ville gathering up cattle he has purchased there since the election. Mrs. E. A.Wilson returnedFri- day night , from her visit to friends iu Michigan. She greatly enjoyed her visit , aud Austin as greatly enjoyed her return. Mrs. O. Frost has been sick and under the care of Dr. Hoyt , but at this writing is rapidly recovering , and we hope in a few days to be fullv restored to health. T. F. Wei born aud son are busy unpacking and placing their goods on the shelves. When complete , they will have a nice assortment and we are pleased with their val uable addition to our town. J.H. Stephensthe Crete nursery rustler , is laid up with the rheu matism , and unable to attend to business , but is better and expects to go to Lexington , Neb. , in the interests of the nursery soon as he recovers. F. A. Hodgkin's daughter Lena has the first and only case of diph theria in this vicinity. The school board , Dr. Hathorn , who has the case in charge , and Mr. Hodgkiu will use every precaution to keep it from spreading. At this writing she is improving. The Lincoln Land Co. , under the supervision of O. Frost , is building a large crib in wh'ch to place the corn raised 011 their ad jacent land. Barnett Lumber Co. of this place supplied the lumber. Strange , isn't it. One corporation buying of another. Wo hear it rumored that J. B. Mesorve , our state treasurer-elect , has resigned the office of county treasurer , and the rumor further states the appointment of iH. \ . Berge to succeed him , both to take place in the future. This is no surprise , for we expected it , but when the Pops got control of our state legislaturewell it just knocked us out. INDIANOLA. Hon.Jno.J.Lamborn went in to Omaha , Tuesday night. Jacob Lerch is getting ready to move to California about Dec. 1st. Considerable corn , most of it very fair quality , coming in at 12 to 15 cents a bushel. W.E.Bollings has opened out a stock of general merchandise he recently brought here from eastern Kansas. Guy L. , Lamborn's great race horse , died here , this week. As he was regarded ns a very valuable animal , his death will be a serious loss to Mr. Lamborn. Hon. J. B. Meserve's friends in this locality rejoice in his good for tune in capturing the treasury portfolio of the great state of Neb raska. Many that do not agree with him politically have no fears that the people's interests will suf fer in consequence of his victory over candidate Casey. Indianola Bepublicaus ratified McKinley's election on Saturday night. A good sized bonfire , splen did music and patriotic speeches entertained those that gathered to celebrate the occasion. Pop Gun Smith undertook to rally some of the Popocrats in the way of a counter-demonstration , but the de feat of Bryan acted like a wet blanket on the attempted enthusi asm. -1 rrrnrr it- lTinr'inLi 1 i"rfmaiiiiwni n - i * " 1 m • mm njin RED WILLOW.

C , Black got home too late for election , thereby diminishing the Populist majority. The schools are progressing very nicely ; teachers and pupils all satisfied we believe. John Kummer is to return home Friday , his corn all out. His sis ter Maggie accompanies him. The members of the M. E. Sun day school gave a pleasing little concert , last Sunday evening. A debating club is being talked of , where tin1 political questions left unsettled by the election may be satisfactorily reviewed. Those who have a surfeit of politics may stay at home. Charlie Byfield took his letter from the Y. P. S. C. E. , of which he is an active member here , as he wished to join the society at Alda , Nebraska , where he is making his home this winter. Mrs. Helm is collecting money to assist in giving poor Edward Lorenz another trial. Our hearts go out to those too poor to defend themselves under such a grave charge , and while no mistake may have been made , } -et he should have as good a chance as a mil lionaire. We understand that one of the learned jurors rendered his decision not on evidence but be cause he knew a boy with such a shaped head was bound to be a murderer. Perhaps this statement is idle gossip , it is to be hoped seat at least. NORTH COLEMAN. Mr. and Mrs. Sinchell of Mc Cook were visitors at H. Simmer- man's on Monday the 9th. H. K. Bixler finished making molasses on Thursday. He is doubtless glad it is at an end. W. H. Epperly is as good a far mer as the best but his reward in the corn production is little enough. Mr. James Campbell raised a fine lot of turnips which will help like a charm to those who secure a supply. Two weeks ago Friday , Master Phillip Moore was champion spel ler in 74. Eoy Stryker carried similar honors on Friday last. Mr. H. B. Wales expects to have 1000 bushels corn , but this is not saying how many hundred acres he planted to that golden grain. Mr. Campbell , Sr. of Box Elder was a caller at the Bixler cane mill , Wednesday , and purchased some of the product of that noted factory. Newspapers are precious. Mrs. W. H. Epperly was the recipient of one sent from a friend which had this inscription on the mar gin , "Handle with care and re turn" . There are still patches of the beautiful snow to be seen to tell the story of Oct. 29. There prob ably will not be enough to make a snowball by the time these "seeds of kindness" are scattered broad cast. We are inclined to the opinion that not many of the oldest citi zens can tell of a worse siege of bad roads in Bed Willow than the one pst past. They are all right side up now which makes it seem like old times again. Our friend Osbaugh of Perry says that he came over to Cole man and helped in all the McKinley - ley clubs and then got left for as sessor in his own precinct , which is more than he agreed for. From a Republican point of view Cole man was a pretty bright spot , too , as well as McCook. A China Wedding. After the November elections were over Mr. and Mrs. A.A.Phil- lippi remembered that the 20th an niversary of their marriage would come on Friday , Nov. 13th. So acting on that thought , they invited some forty of their friends to help celebrate the day. The friends be gan to arrive at their home about three 3 p. m. and kept coming at times , until six o'clock , when they all partook of a good supper of oyster soup , roast duck and turkey and other good things , after which they listened to some good music and singing by A. G. Culbertson , in which he was assisted by his wife at one time. There was also some good violin music by W. N. Bogers , assisted part of the time by Mr. Phillippi with a violin and Edwin Phillippi on the base viol , which was accompanied by Mr. Culbertson on the organ. It was all good and highly appreci ated. Those present were : A. G. Cul bertson , wife and family , W. N. Rogers , wife , daughter Pearl and son Leon , Chas. Weintz , wife and son William , Joseph Spotts , wife and daughter Beulah , A.C. Marsh ami family , Mrs. Hughes and two sons , Mrs. Marsh Phillippi and daughter Winnie , Mrs. Dudek , Misses Annie and Sophia Setmeyer and niece , Mr. Hanco Madison and Merton Bunnell. Some six or eight were invited who could not be there. Some very pretty presents were received , both of china aud glass ware , among which were a china lamp , china fruit-dish and other pretty and useful presents. The leneth of life may he increased by less ening its dangers. The majority of people die from lung troubles. These may be averted by promptly using One Minute Cough Cure. A. McMilien , Druggist.

He is in the drug business , a member of the firm of Johnson Bros , of that place ; and they handle a great many patent medicines for throat and lung diseases. He had all these to choose from , and skilled physicians ready to respond to his call , but selected this remedy for use in his own family at a time when his child's life was in danger , because he knew it to be superior to any other , and fam ous the country over for its cures of croup.
