V TS * fgyan acB " A Wf yyp ilj i f . , - * * - * V * SEVENTEENTH YEAR. McCOOK , RED WILLOW COUNTY , NEBRASKA , FRIDAY EVENING , OCTOBER 28,1898. NUMBER 24 Evans-Mitchell. "On Wednesday evening of this week , 'Rev. W. J. Turner spoke the words unit ing the lives and hearts of two estimable 3'oung people , Robert B. Evans of Se- daliu , Mo. , and H. May Mitchell of Indianola. The ceremony was performed .at the residence of the bride's bi other in West McCook and in the presence of only the relatives of the contracting parties. The groom is a sou of Captain W. J. Evans of Valley Grange precinct , this county , and is a fireman running out of \ cSedalia , Mo. He is highly spoken of. The bride has long been a resident of this county and is too well and favorably known to require any word o { introduc tion or commendation from our Immls. "They left on the evening train for their new home in Sedalia , and with them go tthe best wishes of a host of friends. A Mighty Commotion. "The production of that petty , despica ble fling nt Senator Tluirston and Cap tain Adams in last week's Comfort must liave caused a mighty commotion in the Harveyized-steel cone that serves as the colonel's think tank. That screed and others of a like kidney that have ap peared in that paper lately , force us to < the unwilling conclusion that , while the colonel's peaked dome of thought has some resemblance to the divinely ap T1 pointed model , some wretched amateur Tiiust have undertaken to fill it , and that he threw in all the diminutive , gnarled , knotty , cramped up old scraps he had in the shop. No other theory can ade quately explain the origin of so many - suiallnesses from that source. A Painful Accident. Mrs. W. T. Coleuian met with a pain ful accident , last evening. She was about to step into a buggy when the foorse suddenly started. She reached for the lines , but before she could secure them the cape she was wearing was caught in the wheel and she was thrown violently to the ground , sustaining a fracture of the left arm just above the elbow. A sprained ankle and scratched face are also among the injuries sus tained. The broken arm was quite a Iielpless member before the accident. The broken bone was promptly set and , although the pain at first was intense , Sirs. Coleman is now resting quite com fortably. Will Close the Campaign. On next Monday evening a week , the Hon. E. J. Hainer of Aurora will close the campaign at this place with a rous ing speech in the Menard opera house. Mr. Hainer is one of the strongest men on the stump in this campaign and should receive a large hearing. The meeting will commence at eight o'clock. Remember the date and hour and place and tell your neighbors. The meeting will be a fitting close for the campaign and von can't afford to miss it. A Hopeless Case. James Daly , aged 30 years , from Stratton - ton , died in the McCook surgical hos pital , Wednesday night. He came down from Stratton , Monday , and although no encouragement was given him , an op eration was performed on him that same afternoon for stangulated hernia. The young man was practically in a dying condition when he arrived in the city. The remans were shipped back to Strat ton , Thursday morning on No. i. Announces a Laudable Intention. i Colonel Phillips of the Indianola Reporter - -porter announces his laudable intention of running a newspaper in the future. He is undecided just now whether lie will run the McCook Comfort out of Indianola or run his own paper in the ground , but concludes with the pathetic decision that it is "anything to. repel the invasion of those pesky sheets into this , our territory , each week.

Sutherland , Graham and Smith. Congressman Sutherland , State Sena tor Graham and Samuel Randolph Suiitl iaced a frost at the opera house , last Fri day evening , in the fact of a very smal evening crowd , less than one hundret being present. The speeches by the senator and by Samuel Randolph were short , the princi pal addre s of the evening being made by the congressman. Mr. Sutherland showed himself to be the same smooth , clever , jolly fellow he was two years ago , only more so ; and utilized most of the evening in showing how he killed the pension bear-the same bear that Senator Thurstou , Ex-Congressman Andrews and President McKinley's pension policy killed , in fact. But lawyer-like , the con gressman made an attractive case for himself , if he did forget the other side of the case. Touching upon the work of Senator Allen , the Spanish-American war , Abra ham Lincoln Republicans , whom he claimed were all voting with the Popu lists , he introduced a very neat eulogy ol Captain Adams , the Republican nominee for congressman , which of course , was all deserved. One thing we mention as to the credit of Rhoderick Dim , he is never abusive , the nearest approach to that being his amusing efforts to be patronizing and complacent in his references to the op position , whom he agrees are good fel lows , but mistaken and misguided. His effort to explain his vote against the revenue law was one of the most pe culiar of the evening. His action he de fended upon Republican grounds and thought the defense ought to be good on the account. Ordinarily the defense is good , but how can it be from a Populist standpoint , when he elsewhere states that Republicans are misguided and mis led ? D. L. Bishop , who has the distinction of being one of the few Populist traveling men on the road , and who by the way , is a very clever fellow , came in for a very neat bit of eulogy at the hands of the congressman. Mr. Bishop and Chairman Smith occupied the stage with the speak ers and added a dash of dignity to the occasion. The meeting did not create much en thusiasm , and withal was not very satis factory to the management. THE TRIBUNE was the only paper in city represented at the meeting , even Colonel Mitchell of the Comfort being conspicuous for his absence. COURT HOUSE NEWS. COUNTY COURT. .

" The building adjoining the Palace ho tel on the north is being repaired , paint ed , etc. , and will be occupied shortly by f. W. Smith , the restaurant man now next door to Wilcox & Flitcraft.

Mrs. Dimmitt was down there on a visit to her son , recently , and just arrived loine a day or two before the announce ment came of the son's death. The parents did not realize that the condi tion of the son was so serious. They nave much sympathy in this sorrow. The McCook Courier prints across its title page , "Larger Circulation than Any Other Paper Published Between Hast- ngs and Denver. " At the head of its editorial page it says : "We are now printing 900 copies each week. " Neither of the Beaver City papers has printed as small an edition as 900 for more than two years. The actual circulation of the Tribune for the past four weeks averaged 1133. The Courier should take in its sign. Beaver City Tribune.
