"Below we give brief biographical sketches - ches of the Republican nominees in this county. It is a pleasure to note the abil ity and fitness of the several candidate oiamed in convention , last Saturday : DR. J. 15. HATHORN , "Our nominee for representative , wa liorn in IMscatnquis county , Maine. At the age of 17 years he enlisted in the ser- iviceof his country , serving until the iclose-of the war in company "M , " First Maine Heavy Artillery. The doctor saw some lively service , being in ten engage tnwnts during his enlistment , at Spot . sylvania and the charge at Petersburg wJocre'6o4 ' men out of 832 engaged were Ikilled and wounded. After the close of the war he returned lo his slmlies , graduating from the Maine State Seminary he entered the freshman class of the Bates college at Lewislon , aUujie. from which in due time he was -graduated with the degree of 15. S. , and entered upon the study of medicine in the medical department of Bowdoiu col lege , Maine. The doctor moved to Illinois in the Tall of 1870 , where he taught school some , being principal of the LaMoille public schools one year , and held a pro- .fessorship in East PawPaw seminary for from Rush medical one year. Graduated cal college in February , " 1874 , and five .years later took a post-graduate course in the Chicago medical college. After receiving his diploma from Rush the doctor located in Bureau county , Illinois , where he practiced medicine and surgery for twelve years , moving to Bartley , this county , in the fall of 1886 , during the itime the college boom was on in that town. Dr. J. E. Hathorn is splendidly equip- a < eil to discharge the duties of represent le ative , and should be elected by a good , safe majority. O w. R. STARK , The nominee for county attorney , is one of the county's best and most widely re -known lawyers. lie has been for years reH a resident of the county and identified H with the legal business of this section of M vthe state. He is well equipped and tl : thoroughly qualified for the important office of public prosecutor ; indeed it tl would have been difficult to have made a better selection. He will be elected by a safe majority , insuring the continuance : i that office of a safe , conservative and aible state's attorney. of STEPHEN BOLLES. dr It-s useless to go into a sketch of his ve life. He has been a resident of Red ' -Willow county since the year one , and identified with lu lias always been closely her interests. A resident of Box Elder eno precinct , he is known all over the county. o He has served the county a number of terms as commissioner , and has made a St good officer , having the best interests of Stt the people well in mind. He will be reelected - elected by a large majority , and will con tinue to give the people efficient service an that office. st Red Cross Benefit. 01 'The ladies' societies of the various churches of the city have conceived the idea of giving a lawn social for the bene th : fit of the Red Cross society , whose glori tb : ous work for the sick among our soldier dc boys appeals to every heart. After some consultation they have determined to Ti give a lawn social at the home of G. it A. Noren on next Fridaj * evening , Au sil gust igth. Ice creaui and cake will be served for the sum of 15 cents , and there ought to be and doubtless will be a most Si liberal patronage accorded the affair. evii All the churches of the city have taken iiw iioid of this affair , which will be as all- w comprehending in its effort as the com munity , and unless all signs fail McCook bi will be able to send a fine remittance to at the society to help carry on the glorious fa and humane work they are engaged in. faB Representatives of the ladies' societies will call on you during the coming week for donations and for help to carry out lie litHi the large plans of the affair in hand , Hi that they will not come away from any cc patriotic home empty-handed goes with ccbi out the saying. In addition there will be an entertain ing program of some character , not yet bihi hi fully determined upon. Remember next Friday evening and so the occasion with your presence and lib sow eral patronage. w w MIsslngrMan Is Found. Thomas Jausen , an eccentric old man , T was last seen in life at Indianola , December in ber I3th last. He was on his way up to at Stockville on foot.

The Republicans of Red Willow coun ty , through their delegates , met in tin opera house of our city , last Saturdaj afternoon , and transacled the following business : At the appointed hour , one o'clock the convention was called to order by Chairman Barnett of the central com mittee , and E. P. Day and II. I. Peter son were placed in nomination for tem porary chairman. On balloting the for mer was selected by a vote of 63 to 37. C. W. Barnes and F. M. Kiinmell were chosen as secretaries. On motion the secretaries were author ized to act as a committee on credentials. The secretaries found all the precincts represented but North Valley and that Tyrone and Danbury were without ere- dentials. On motion the delegates pres ent were allowed to cast the full vote of the precinct they represented and the delegates from Tyrone and Danbury were seated. On motion the temporary organization was made permanent. On motion a committee composed of one delegate from each precinct was con stituted to select the state , congressional and senatorial delegations. An effort to reduce Willow Grove's representation from 24 to 18 delegates failed to carry , the vote being 68 to 34. A motion authorizing R. P. High to name the state delegation failed and was superseded by a motion which required the selection of a delegation favorable to Mr. High's aspirations for the office of land commissioner. The committee on delegations was composed as follows : Perry Ginther , W. T. Henton , W. P. Burns , D. P. Brewer - er , A. J. Bear , John Tate , W. S. Fitch , S. W. Clark , Henry Barton , B. L. Thomp son , J. PI. Relph , W. A. McCool , J. B. Gumming , J. H. Lewis , L. A.Colter , E. A. Sexson , I. M. Horton , A. D. Johnston , H. H. Troth , Ed. Jordan , C. G. Coglizer , G. R. Johnson. J. E. Kelley , E. M. Wood and W. O. Bond were appointed as a committee on resolutions and a recess was taken for the committees to prepare their reports. The delegation committee assembled at once in the city hall , organized with calling W. S. Fitch to the chair and F. M. Kiiimiell to the secretary's desk. After quite a warm session the following delegalions were agreed upon for report back to the convention : State W. S. Morlan , J. W. Dolau , Wil liam Valentine , H. H. Berry , Frank Moore , Charles Waterman , W. T. Hen- ton , J. E. Hathorn , H. W. Keyes. Con gressional S. W. Clark , Charles Goben , J. H. Lewis , Howe Smith , E. A. Sexsou , J. C. Moore , H. W. Cole , G. S. Bishop , A. Barnett. Senatorial Samuel Prenier , A. W. Campbell , E. M. Wood , C. W. Hodgkin , B. F. Bradbury , J. S. Brittain , C. I. Hall , C. W. Barnes , W. A. Brown. The session of the convention was re sumed when the committees were ready to report , and the report of the commit tee on resolutions was read and adopted as follows : Be it resolved by the Republicans of Red Willow county in convention assem bled : That we endorse and approve the course of our president , William McKinley - ley , in his conduct of the war with Spain , and praise without stint the valor shown by our army and navy from highest offi cer to lowest private or seaman. That we pledge our earnest support to the cause of Republicanism , and believe that the party is strong enough and grand enough to encompass all needed reforms , and punish all offenders , wheth er within or without her party member ship. ship.We We believe that the interests of the people of Red Willow county will be best ; served by replacing our present rep resentative in congress with a live , ac tive Republican , and with good , active men of our own party in the different branches of the state legislature , to the end that a United States senator may be . elected who will work in harmony with our president and his cabinet. Respectfully submitted , E. M. WOOD. W. O. BOND. J. E. KELLEY. Ou motion the convention then pro ceeded to take an informal ballot for a candidate for representative , with the following result : Sexson , 42 ; Hathorn , 41 ; Bell , 27. The formal ballots stood as follows : First Sexson , 44 ; Hathorn , 49 ; Bell , 20. Second Sexson , 45 ; Hathorn , 52 ; Bell , 13. Third Sexson , 44 ; Hathorn , 62 ; Bell , 4. The nomination was then made by acclamation. The doctor in a brief speech said the nomination came to him unsolicited , but that if elected he would endeavor honestly and faithfully to serve all the people. On motion the convention then took an informal ballot for a candidate for county attorney by call of precincts , W. R. Starr receiving 63 votes and C. E. Eldred 46 votes. The ballot was made formal and nomination of W. R. Starr by acclamation. . Mr. Starr made a stirring , mirth-pro voking speech in accepting the nomina tion. He promised to work for the suc cess that the party in Red Willow coun ty is entitled to perforce of her majority of votes. He referred to the lack of har mony in the past which placed the Pop ulists in office and in the enjoyment of the emoluments thereof. He sized up the situation that he was in good stand ing and fellowship with both factions and was in position to put the Pops in a hole from which they never would emerge. W. H. Smith of Indianola was iiotni- nated for chairman of the county cen tral committee and he was accorded the liberty of selecting his own secretary. The county central committee elecled is as follows : Alliance Philip Lemasler , Barlley. Beaver Win. Iliersekorn , Lebanon. Bondville Frank Colling , Indianola. Box Elder Charles Fey , Box Elder. Coleman Jacob Belz , McCook. Danbury F.G. Stilgebouer , Danbury. Driftwood C. T. Eller , McCook. East Valley S. W. Clark , Bartley. Fritsch Charles Goben , Indianola. Gerver H. I. Peterson , McCook.

Coglizer , McCook. Fourth G. R.Johnson , McCook. \ The delegates composing the Third commissioner district then separated b themselves from the convention proper and proceeded to the nomination of a candidate for the office of commissioner. r. R. Johnson was chairman and J. E. xelley secretary of this gathering and Stephen Belles was renouiinated by ac clamation. a The central committee was empower ed to fill any vacancy that might occur olA on the ticket before election time. Ad- ec ourned. It was a fairly harmonious convention and adjourned with perhaps less sores than usual. The skirmish for the state delegation si was warm , and perhaps the greatest dis appointment of the con vention was in the selection of the congressional delegation. Everybody was in favor of Bob High , but many thought the convention should vs name the delegates. There is a proper and strong objection to the vest pocket \ delegation. : There was an incipient boom for Captain LiThe sli tain John J. Lamborn for congress , but the east end boys could not get action on it on account of the manner in which they were unwillingly tied up in the : state delegation. th : thWi The contest between Hathorn and Wi Sexsou was a nice race , neck and neck Ul for a while , until the doctor won out glv with a little daylight to spare. The con \v vention could not have made a mistake thw : between two such men , anyhow. w Starr had the country delegations quite offl solid and his nomination came easy and a in a manner to surprise those not posted. be Willow Grove stayed by Eldred to a th man , although defeat was certain before fo they were reached in calling the roll. ec ecN The address of the retiring chairman , N A. Barnett , will go thundering down the corridors of time as one of the most re markable political papers presented be fore a county convention of Red Willow DH Republicans. You will appreciate its vigor , frankness and keenness by read 01 ing it yourself.

Spanish Love of Bloodshed. In the midst of all the distress and misery I could not help noticing how bloodthirsty the race is. A mother and laughter were standing by me when the iast cow was killed. The butcher very skillfully stood by the side of the animal , reached to his spine and plunged a knife into it , withdrew it and plunged it again , ind repeated the operation a third time , when the poor beast rolled over dead. instinctively turned away from the sight ; , and was horrified to note the in tense inlerest the women were taking it and how their eyes glistened with pleasure as they murmured their appro bation ; of the butcher's skill. I may , of course , have judged them wrongfully ; it may have been the delight with which they were anticipating the coming meal , but I don't think there could be any mistake the expression of their faces clearly shoxved how the3 * enjoyed the spectacle of bloodshed and slaughter. James H. Hare in Collier's Weekly. Breaking a Useless "Chain. " Dimes have been pouring into the Navy department to Secretary Long con tributed by the patriotic Americans who want to build a battleship to replace the Maine. ] Somebody , the secretary does not ' know who , started an endless chain this end , and the secretary is doing his ; best to break the chain. To such contributors as give their addresses he is returning the money with a note inform ing him that he has no authority under the law , to receive it , and the object seems to be otherwise provided for , as congress has specifically appropriated money for the construction of another battleship to be known as the Maine.
