| They Are Winners.
The Republicans of Red Willow county
held their nominating convention in In
dianola , last Saturday , and under the
most harmonious and favorable circum
t stances placed in the field a county ticket
which a united , vigorous effort will elect
, in November.
' The convention was called to order by
Chairman Barnett of the centrul commit
tee about eleven o'clock. The call was
read by Secretary Valentine. Dr. J. E.
Hathoru of Bartley was made temporary ,
chairman and C. B. Gray of McCook ,
temporary secretary.
There were no contests , and the list of
delegates to the late delegate convention ,
except Indianola , Coleman , Fritsch and
North Valley , were on motion accepted
as the delegates to the convention. The

On motion of G. R.Johnson the tern ,
porary organization was made the per
manent organization of the convention.
A. Barnett asked for a call of the roll
of precincts to ascertain what proportion
of the delegates were present. Eigbty-
' four delegates reported as being present
out of the total of 124 entitled. Bond-
ville was not represented. An adjourn
ment was then taken to one o'clock.
p AFTERNOON SESSION.
j The convention promptly assembled
after dinner and proceeded to business.
A delegate reported from Bondville
< precinct , making every precinct repre
sented.
C. E. Eldred moved that delegates
present cast full vote of the precinct they
represented.
H. H. Troth moved that the conven
tion proceed to nominate candidates ac
| cording to the call.
W. O. Bond thought that the first bal
lot should be an informal one. F. S.
Curry , who was the Holman of the convention -
, vention , objected and the motion was
TREASURER.
F. S. Lofton of Gerver precinct pre
sented the name of O. L. Thompson. S.
L.Green seconded the nomination. E.A.
Sexson moved suspension of rules and
Thompson was nominated by acclama
tion. Mr. Thompson said he was grate
ful for the honor , that he would be more
highly gratified if the nomination should
be ratified at the polls. He asked that
the party pull together this fall ; that
, . , factional and sectional differences be
< buried ; that good men be nominated
r . from any part of the county. He referred
" • to the fact that the Republican party is
all right nationally , and that with good
prices , protection and reciprocity , the
country is entering an era of great pros-
w perity.
I COUNTY CLERK.
_ * k R. P. High offered the name of Esben
\ s P. Day of Lebanon. A second came
J from J. S. Phillips and on motion of C.
\ E. Eldred the nomination was made by
' f acclamation. Mr. Day said he appreci-
t ated the confidence imposed in him ;
' \ thanked the convention for the honor ,
f and promised , if elected , to .make a
< r/ strong effort to acquit himself so the people
ple would not regret his selection.
SHERIFF.
I E. A. Sexson placed in nomination W.
f A. McCool , and Fritsch precinct seconded -
ed the same. On motion of Mr. Sexson
the nomination was made by acclama
tion. Mr. McCool was unavoidably detained -
' tained at home and could not respond to
• the calls for a speech.
J COUNTY JUDGE.
) t C. W. Beck of Indianola was placed in
nomination by C. W. Hodgkin. W. R.
Starr named G. S. Bishop , and R. P.
High seconded the same. The first bal
lot stood : Beck 63J4 and Bishop 60 .
Before the result was figured up and an
nounced , a number of precincts com
menced changing their votes , after which
the vote stood 65 for Bishop and 584
> for Beck. On account of the confusion
\J $ ' was thought best to have another roll
/ JlT It was decided that no changing
* * of votes would be considered after the
votes of the precincts were once an
nounced. The result was : Bishop 74 ,
Mr. Bishop said in part that he cer
tainly appreciated the honor. That he
is a Republican first men are a second
ary consideration. That in addition to
seeking an election he would use his best
efforts to convert the Popocrats.
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT.
C. N. Whittaker was placed in " nomi
nation by C. G. Coglizer. W. O. Bond
offered the name of L. A. Carnahan ,
which R. P. High seconded. Dr. S. L.
Green named Mrs.M J.Cordeal. William
Valentine seconded Mr. Whittaker's
nomination , saying that he had a too
deep and lasting respect for weakly ,
timid woman to ask her to stand the
hard work required in inclement weather
by the office ; and stating that Mr. Whit
taker was a strong , bright and devoted
young man , in earnest to do good work.
C. E. Eldred offered a second to the nom
ination of Mrs. Cordeal. R. P. High re
marked that when Mr. Valentine has
been married as long as Dr. Hathorn or
Dr. Green , he will not have so small an
estimate of woman's strength. The
nomination of Mr. Carnahan was second
ed by J. S. Phillips , and balloting was
commenced. The first ballot stood : Car
nahan , 52 ; Whittaker , 51 ; Cordeal , 20.
'The ' second ballot resulted : Whittaker ,
60 ; Carnahan , 50 ; Cordeal , 13. At this
juncture Mr. Carnahan announced that
the Republican party had treated him
well ; that he had no kick , and withdrew
from the contest. The next ballot then
stood 69 for Whittaker and 49 for Cor
deal. On motion of G. R. Johnson and
second by Sylvester Cordeal , the nomi
nation was made unanimous. Mr. Whit
taker said it was positively his first ap
pearance as a candidate. That he was
thankful and appreciative for the honor
and took some satisfaction in the advan
tage he felt over the other nominees in
having a lady running mate.
• SURVEYOR.
W. H. Benjamin named E. S. Hillwho
declined ; allowing that he was too big a
fool for the place , which he held as prin
cipal or deputy for lo these 25 years , and
ought to kuow enough to keep out. I.E.
Kelley named A. F. Reeves of Box El
der , E. A. Sexson offered a second , and
on motion of J. S. Phillips the nomina
tion was made by acclamation. Mr.
Reeves briefly thanked the conven
tion for the honor. Mr. Hill asked to be
put on the retired list at half pay , but E.
A. Sexson objected to half pay as ' much
as Mr. Hill had to "taffy. "
CORONER.
For the office of coroner Dr. J. E.
Hathorn , Sylvester Cordeal , Dr. A. W.
Hoyt and Dr. S. L. Green were named
and declined. Mr. Cordeal declined in
favor of William Valentine , who object
ed to the stupid custom of making this
nomination a source of hilarity , and
closed a historical sketch of the office
with the remark that he did not care to
be so much mixed up with royal institu
tions. R. P. High wanted the central
committee to fill the place , but the mo-
tian was lost. J. E. Kelley suggested
that as no one had as yet met with the
Democratic conference committee it
might be well to appoint such a commit
tee from this convention. C. E > Eldred
named Joseph Spotts , Dr. S. L. Green
offered a second and on motion of A.
Barnett he was unanimously chosen.
E. S. Hill then announced that he is
an undertaker , that he had always been
a Republican , and thatif the party killed
off the Ppp party this fall he would see
that the remains are decently interred
gratuitously.
J. E. Kelley offered a motion that the
central committee be empowered to fill
vacancies that might occur on the ticket
before election.
The convention then adjourned.
Chairman Barnett announced t con
ference of the nominees and central com
mittee , which then took place in the
rooms in the rear of the Beardslee hall ,
where the convention was held.
COUNTY COMMISSIONER.
The delegates of the Second district
then convened and commenced balloting
for a nominee for county commissioner.
East Valley , Indianola , Red Willow ,
Fritsch , Alliance and North Valley pre
cincts compose the district. A. G. Keys
and Eenry Crabtree , both of Indianola
precinct , were named. " Eight ballots
were taken without decision , and a brief
recess was taken. After reconvening two
more futile ballots were . .taken ; but the
eleventh ballot gave Crabtree 17 , Keys
16. Mr. jfcrabtree said that he had served
the county nine years in that capacity ;
that what mistakes he might have made
were of the head and not the heart ; that
if elected he would do the best he knew
how for the county. Adjourned.
A party of about thirty Epworthians
of the city joined with the Box Elder

. A young woman who claimed to be

iting alms in East Lincoln , Saturday
afternoon. Chief Parker went out in
search of her. He traced her from El
liott school almost to the Pecks Grove
depot. In driving past her , he asked
if she wanted to ride. Unthinkingly she
responded "No. " The chief brought
her to the station where she told him she
was on her way from McCook to Nor
folk. She seemed to be an unsophisti
cated country girl who did not see any
thing wrong in the way she was raising
money. The chief turned her over to
Matron Hyde who promised to find her
something to do. Lincoln Journal.
Bishop Graves.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Fall.Term Opened , Monday Morningywith
Slightly Decreased Attendance.
OUTLOOK AUSPICIOUS FOR THE YEAR
McCook Is a coming Educational
Center Highest High School
Attendance In History of
' Our Public Schools.
The McCook public schools opened for
the fall term on last Monday morning
under the Superintendency of William
Valentine , who has been 'for the past
eight years at the head of our system ,
which now stands among the most pro
gressive and efficient in the state of Ne
braska.
There are three new teachers in the
system , this year , all being located in
the East ward building : Mr. George H.
Thomas , high school assistant , who is a
graduate of the University of Nebraska ,
class of ' 97 , with honors ; Miss Elizabeth
Thomson , second primary east , who has
taught with success in Wymore and Tecumseh -
cumseh ; and Miss Clara Smith , first pri
mary east , who formerly taught in the
asylum for feeble-minded at Beatrice.
Thorough and satisfactory work is ex
pected of each of them.
Superintendent Valentine informs us
that they have entered the school year
under favorable conditions and that a
profitable and pleasant term may be ex
pected. The efficiency of our school
system is a source of pride to our people ,
who will join The Tribune in wishing
the superintendent and his efficient as
sistants ample success throughout the
year in the important work upon which
they have entered.
The number of outside pupils already
in attendance is much larger than it was
at any time , last year. The initial en
rollment from without the school district
was 29. Last year but 18 enrolled at the
opening of school and the highest enroll
ment of this class of pupils was but 23.
It is likely that the enrollment of non
resident pupils will reach 50 during the
school year. And this is the more note
worthy when it is considered that the
tuition , this year , for non-residents is
$2.00 per month , while last year , under
the recently declared unconstitutional
high school law , the tuition was free.
The growing fame of our schools and
better times are doubtless responsible
for the increase. McCook is destined
to become quite an educational center.
Ihe list of non-resident pupils is * as fol
lows : Myrtle Kennedy , Charles Belles ,
Roy , Nettie and Ernest Dutton , Edward
Byfield , Nellie Colter , Grace Harman ,
Etta Gordon , Iva Smith , Lucy Fichtner ,
3y Stone , Laura Woodworth , Edward
ind Stasia Brady , Wayne Brinton , Ira
Kennedy , Nellie Baker , Albert Dudek ,
Etosa Albrecht , all of the city postoffice ;
uilla Coons , Thornburg , Hayes county ;
Charles Dodd , Salem , Kansas ; Anna
R.eevesBox Elder ; Bertha Shafer.Hailey ,
Wyoming ; Lewis Brown and Nora
Church , Osborn , Frontier county ; Ida
Xliea , Eddy , Hayes county ; Edna West ,
Elayes Center ; Blanch Plumb , Danbury.
The opening enrollment is 19 less than (
t was last year. This is explained in a ,
neasure by the reunion this week and
; he approaching county fair. The total ,
: his year is 571 as against 590 last year.
However , the enrollment in the high
school exceeds all records ; there are now
ive more pupils in attendance than there
ire seats. The decrease in enrollment '

• ollment is as follow :
