it. SEVENTEENTH YEAR McCOOK , RED WILLOW COUNTY , NEBRASKA , FRIDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 21 , 1898. NUMBER 23 > Thurston and Adams. 'Senator Tohn M. Thurston nncl Captain Claire E. Adams. Republican nominee Lv * , for congress in the Filth district , ad- xiressed n comfortably filled opera house f Jiere , Wednesday afternoon , of attentive and enthusiastic hearerH. When the H time of day is considered and the fact that the farmers and business people are too busy for politics in marked contrast with the conditions two years since the ( Heeling was altogether gratifying and satisfactory , both speeches being uccord- ded u most respectful and interested ihearing , frequent and enthusiastic ap plause puncluatingandemphasi/.ingtheir earnest delivery. .Captain Adams first addressed the meeting. He indicated that the issues of this campaign are practically the is- suesof the late successful war with Spain. That this is an era of history-making in which the Republican party is the chief mover and no lime for Democratic ob structionists In fact the captain made Ibolfl to claim that about all the American history of the past for- Xy years worth remembering is the record of the accomplishments of the Republican party , which has the happy tTucuJt3' of fulfilling its promises to the people. The captain thought it is the manifest destiny of the Republican party to have a large hand in running the earth siml Imd no hesitancy in urging that Re publican congressmen should be sent to congress to assist President McKinley in successfully carrying out the plans and n reaping the fruits of out late victories Xbe captain uttered a soldierly defense 'oT the war department and the conduct of the war and concluded with a glowing tribiUe to the present administration. Heimade a very favoiable impression on Jhfe'irearers and McCook will be in line ifor the gallant captain in November. .Senator Thurston opened his speech \vith the statement that the count } ' was " .suffering" from too much business for polities ; that this is not a political year but a patriotic year. He dwelt upon the difference between the ptesent and two ytnors ngo , when the country had an over-supply of politics and a shortage of .business , and upon the large increase in 'the volume of business in all branches. The senator referred to the claim made by the opposition , two years ago , that 'there was not enough uioiie } ' in the country with which to do the business of fheland , and stated that now we are do ling from 20 to 30 per cent more business than then and have plenty of money. European gold is rolling in by the hun dred million to swell our circulating me dium am account of the restoration of confidence and the wise protective policy of the Republican administration. The senator admitted the charge that it looted very suspiciously as though Prov idence and the Republican party were in a close corporation partnership for the . good of America and humanity , and fe- Jicitated the party on the confidence be stowed on it from that high source when the cause of humanity was involved , when the freedom of Cuba was at stake. The senator took issue with Governor Holcomb's position and lack of backbone - bone in the question of mustering out Nebraska's excess of soldiers , and ex pressed regret that Col.Bryan was unable to get into the campaign and divide the gate receipts. "This is God's war , " the senator said , "and pregnant with a glad fruition for humanity and the earth. " It iiad with one mighty bound united the north and south , and placed America on liigh in most enviable repute among the earth's nations. After paying highest tribute to President McKinley and ex- toliing the glory and righteousness oi his administiation , he closed amidst liearty and warm applause. The Stayner drum corps added an ac ceptable and appreciated dash of patri otic inspiration to the occasion by play ing a number of stirring selections in front of the opera house before the meet ing. Private Secretary Snyder accompanied the senator. An Old Case Compromised. The old suit of A. H. Andrews & Co. against the school district of the city of McCook , to recover on a claim of $1,200 for furniture bought by the district from the company , many years ago , was set tled by the district court at this term , judgment being entered in the sum of $ xx > , by way of compromise. This fur niture was bought twelve years ago when the East ward school building was built and has been in litigation ever since , going up to the supreme court , and being remanded for new trial , the decision of Judge Welty being reversed in part. This is a very advantageous settlement for the district , which has had the use of the furniture all these years. H. P. Waite sells three of the best stoves in the market.

Box rent becomes due on the first day of January. April. July , October , and under express and absolute orders from the postoflice department , MUST BE PAID WITHIN TEN DAYS OF THE MONTHS ABOVE MENTIONED. At the end of ten days Hie post-master is emphatically instructed to vacate every box not paid for and to place the mail of the delinquent box-holders in the general delivery. Ami in the event of the postmaster failing to follow this in struction , he is personally liable for all delinquent box rent. All box rent belongs to the govern ment and is in no sense a perquisite of the postmaster , who is held to the strict est accountability by the postoflice au thorities and the department laws. Some of the above facts are evidently not known by all the patrons of the office. Prompt compliance with the laws and rules of the postoflice department will relieve the postmaster of imperative , unpleasant duty in connection with the matter of box rent and will lead to bet ter understanding all around.
