The County Fair.
Indianola , Nebraska , August 22 , 1897.
Editor Tribune I suspect that it is
time to begin telling your readers some
few of the attractions prepared for the
people at the coming fair. We have been
blessed with most bountiful crops and
good prices , and the people of Red Wil
low county deserve a holiday , and are
going to take it , too , at the county fair.
If ever a people on God's footstool work
ed hard and lived close and looked for
ward hopefully and courageously after
every mishap and failure , and pluckily
set their teeth and tried again , those
people surely live in Southwestern Neb
raska and Red Willow county. All honor
to them I say ; and so nothing is too
good for them. Realizing this fact the
management of the fair has spared no
expense to make this the best fair ever
held in Western Nebraska. First and
foremost we have engaged Prof. W. P.
Dennis of Terre Haute , Indiana , an aer
onaut of 23 years' experience , to make a
balloon ascension every day and jump
from the clouds with his parachute. This
will cost the society a large sum , Dut we
feel confident the people will appreciate
the exhibition of something never before
seen in this county. The racing , this
year , will be better than ever before , and
more horses will face the starter in each
class than have ever assembled at the
ringing of the bell in a western county ,
and the watches will stop on some fast
miles , as the track is in fine condition.
We are also about to close a deal with a
Chicago company whereby a kinetiscope
will exhibit moving pictures in an im
mense pavilion. A petrified woman , too ,
will be exhibited. There will be a large
tent on the grounds , furnished with easy
chairs , settees , fans , ice water , etc. ,
where tired women with fretful children
may lest and refresh themselves , free of
charge. We are now arranging for a
pigeon shoot between the gun clubs of
Cambridge , Stockville , McCook , Indian
ola , and any other towns that wish to
compete , for a trophy and a generous
sum of money beside. The secretary is
having a special place fitted up with
chairs and desks for the exclusive use of
the press , where the reporters may sit
at their ease and report the races. This
will be immediately adjoining the judges'
stand. On Wednesday the Old Settlers
of Red Willow county will exhibit them
selves to admiring thousands. Come out
and see the men who made history in
this county , old vets who hunted buffaloes
lees , horse-thieves and fleas in this coun
try twenty years ago. Come and hear
Colonels Hill , Black , Weygint , Fitch ,
Doyles , Fritsch , Belles , Longnecker , 01-
cott , Crockford , Miller , Moore , Messner ,
Bradbury , and a lot more , try to outdo
the G.A.R. vets in telling yarns. Twelve
years' residence and a hungry look make
you eligible to membership. Come and
shake hands with old neighbors and
friends. Sit around a camp-fire and
drink a tin-cup full of freighters' coffee ,
such as we used to make when we went
to Plum Creek after a load of freight for
Franklin , Quick or Duffy. If you are
a young man , come and bring your girl ;
she expects it. Bring two girls , if pos
sible. Don't disappoint them. Come and
help make the fair a success. . Try to
feel that it is our fair and that you must
personally assist in swelling the : crowd
and helping the management. We will
amuse and entertain you. Come.
W. A. McCool , Secretary.
An Old Settler Gone.
After a lingering illness , George M.
Chenery passed awayTuesday afternoon ,
a victim of consumption. Dropsy devel
oped in the closing stages of his illness
and hastened his decease. The deceased
was an early settler of our city and was
a favorate with everybodyslandinghigh
in the community until recent years ,
when multiplied misfortunes robbed him
of his once comfortable means and some
what beclouded his life. A generous-
hearted man has gone on before. Peace
to his ashes. He has no relatives , save
perhaps a sister in England. The fun
eral occurred " on Wednesday afternoon ,
conducted by the Masons. Services were
held in the Methodist church , conducted
by Rev. J. A. Badcon.

I expect to start a new evening short
hand class at East ward school building ,

were submitted and unanimously ap

RESOLUTIONS.
AA'e , the Republicans of Red AA'illow county , Ne
braska , in conention assembled , pledge anew our
faith in its platforms and principles. AA'e heartily
endorse the administration of President McKinley ,
and point with pride to its already beneficent influ
ence on commerce , on trade , and the returning pros
perity of all people , everywhere acknowledged ; al
though only tix months ha\e elapsed since the in
duction of AA'illiam McKinley into office , jet every
where are evidences of returning confidence. AA'e
commend our senators and represcntath es for the
speedy passage of the Dingley billwhereby foreign
ships are coming to our shores loaded with ballast ,
and departing loaded with the products of our soil.
We renew our allegiance to the principle of pro
tection , whereby our home market is preserved to
our people , thus affording our best market , and giv
ing employment to the labor of this country.
And , whereas the constitutions of the United
States and the State of Nebraska strictly prohibit
the abridgment of religious liberty , we demand
equal political rights for all our citizens , without
regard to their religious views , and condemn as in
imical to good government any innovation of this
great constitutional right guaranteed to all.
We demand faithful and honest sen-ice in all
our public servants , and speedy punishment of all
who betray their trust and the confidence of the
people.Wc .
Wc condemn in unmeasured terms the conduct
of G01 ernor Holcomb in his answer to the eastern
pressr whereby he sought to discredit our people
and destroy the fair name of our state. We de
nounce his answer as untruthful and dishonest.
And , whereas in the senate of the United States ,
Senator AA' .V. Allen did on the 6th day of July ,
iS07 , * hcn and there state and made public the fact
thattiovernor Holcomb did know of the embezzle
ment of J. S. Bartley , state treasurer , for two years
prior to the public knowledge thereof , therefor we
denounce Governor Holcomb for his truancy in not
bringing to justice said J. S.Bartlej * . And for his
I failure to do so we hold him guilty of betrayal of
trust and confidence and unworthy the exalted po
sition he holds.
On motion of R. S. Baker , delegates
present were authorized to cast full vote
of delegation.
On motion of J.E. Kelley temorary or
ganization was made permanent.
On motion of H. H. Berry , the chair

lows , which was unanimously adopted :

H. H. Troth , J. E. Kelley , J.E. Hathorn ,
J. J.Lamborn , E. A. Sexson , A. G. Dole.
On motion of J. J. Lamborn , it was de
cided to hold the nominating convention
in Indianola. The question of the con
vention date called forth much orator } * .
C. G. Coglizer suggested September 13th.
W. R. Starr named September 4th. R.
P. High named September 25th. J. J.
Lamborn insisted that with wheat up
and silver down a short and vigorous
campaign is the thing. W. R. Starr
thought a longer campaign more effec
tive.
*
"Paraphrasing , William Valentine
maintained that the date ought to be
fixed without the consent of any party.
A number of votes finally settled the
date as Saturday , September 4th , and
the hour of leu o'clock , a. m. was agreed

A Cenulne Surprise.
Table Rock , Neb. August 21 , 1897.
Last Friday evening , August 20 , about
50 guests assembled at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. C. H. Jacobs to celebrate their
25th wedding anniversar } * , the occasion
being enlivened by social chat and
elocutionary numbers. Miss Pauline
Wright favored the audience with some
of her weli delivered elocutionary efforts ;
also an abundance of beautiful flowers
graced the occasion. A splendid supper
was served to which all did ample justice.
Mr. and Mrs. Jacobs , being comparatiA-ly
strangers , fully appreciated the affair ,
and will ever look back to this as one of
the pleasantest events of their life. Here's
hoping that ihey may meet , not only
those present on this occasion , but hosts
more friends , 25 years hence. X. Y. Z.
The Coming : Order.
The Star of Jupiter , a fraternal insur
ance company with supreme headquar-
at McCook , recently made application to
the proper authorities of Wisconsin to
begin work in that state. The authorities
there wrote to Auditor Cornell of this
state to know if the society was all right.
Mr. Cornell could not say , so went to
McCook this week to investigate the af
fairs of the order. The Evening Post on
Tuesday makes note of his return and
says Mr. Cornell reports the company in
good order. We have always been satis
fied that the working plan of the Star
of Jupiter is all right , and Avill eventual
ly be one of the strongest working fra
ternal insurance orders in the state if
properly managed. Beaver City Times.
Elected in Illinois.
In the issue of the Beardstown Illi-
noian of August 17th we notice the fol-
owing item about the late and highly es
teemed principal of cur high school :
"The Board of Education met Saturday
evening and elected Miss Rachael Beny ,
of McCook , Nebraska , teacher for the
Eighth grade in the public schools. "
A host of McCook friends will learn
this news with mingled feelings of regret
and pleasure regret that it takes her
from our city , and pleasure at learning
of her call to teach in Illinois.
