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. The IXL steel
range , the genuine Beckwith ROUND
OAK and the RADIANT HOME base
burner.

As to Box Rent.
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.

years , 2 months and 13 days. She died
