About The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936 | View Entire Issue (Jan. 13, 1899)
By F. M. KIMMELL. OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER. SENATOR ALLEN is on the fol lowing committees in the state senate : Finance , ways and means ; railroads ; university and normal schools ; live stock and grazing ; enrolled and engrossed bills ; irri gation ; insane hospital ; and stand ing committee. " THE first vote for U. S. senatoi will be taken in the Nebraska leg islature , Tuesday. After that date a joint ballot must be taken at high noon every day until there isa choice or the session closes. Hayward - ward is still in the lead for the honor , with Thompson a close second end , and Lambertson , Field , Web ster , Hainor and the field strung out in thin , ragged shape. THE American hog is never more in his element than when deposit ing his tobacco spittle and the yel low chunks of diseased lungs and throats and nasal passages on the sidewalks for ladies to sweep up with their dresses and to disgusl everybody. Next to our omnipres ent profanity and vulgarity , this promiscuous expectoration on side walks and in public places is the most loathsome. THERE is doubtless small room for any more "beefing" about the bond of the state treasurer. The guarantee bond provided and ac cepted by the governor ought to and doubtless will satisfy all fair- minded citizens whom it is worth the while to attempt to please or satisfy. Those who ' will now per sist in "kicking" will do so with out much sympathy from those who are unbiased enough in their judgments to be worthy of atten tion and weight. The bond is am ple and absolutely safe ; more in decency cannot be required. Pu sillanimous suggestions of techni calities are by the side of these considerations. DANBURY. i C. E. White of Beatrice is here , this week , soliciting for the Bank ers' Life of Des Moines.

Just before quitting work , Tues day evening , Peter Kreiger had the misfortune to step on a uai which penetrated his foot abou three-quarters of an inch. The wound is very painful and as the nail was rusty it will be some time before he will be able to walk on that foot. During church services , Sunday evening , the inside checks on the teams belonging to Dr. J.M. Brown and T. Ginther were unfastened by some unknown miscreant and both teams ran away. The doctor's team started before the family had got into the buggy and only his aged father suffered injury , being slightly bruised. After starting home Mr. Ginther's became uu- managable and threw the family out near Truman Wood's residence , some of the members sustaining quite severe bruises and all re ceiving a thorough shaking up. Mr. Wood did the part of "Good Samaritan" and housed them until the following day when they were taken home. This is the second experience of this kind for Mr. Ginther. Both vehicles were re duced to kindling wood. New goods on the 5 and 10-cent counters at the "Bee Hive. " THE condition of unrest that ex ists in the Philippines is entirely due to ignorance of the American policy and people and the agitation of would-be leaders. Once the people come to understand just what the United States proposes to do , and how the benign influ ence of our civilization is to make the island peoples better and hap pier in every way , there will be a cessation of turmoil and agita tion. Until that time , however , it will be necessary for our military governors in the far east to control the situation with a firm hand , giving every one to understand that we will tolerate neither per sistent lawlessness nor hysterical uprisings. THE British press professes dis appointment over the intimation by Senator Foraker that the pres ident's policy contemplates relin quishing the Philippines as soon as the United States can find some suitable disposition for them. Great Britain seems overanxious above all the other European na tions for the United States to cut loose from the policy so far pur sued of avoiding all foreign en tanglements and alliances that would force it into all the inter national controversies that might arise in any quarter of the habit able globe. Omaha Bee. THERE are 122 dialects in the Philippines , but Aguinaldo needs to be spoken to in plain , unadorn ed American a la Dowey. 1NDJANOLA.

Colonel Barnes' flop has causec the usual smile of recognition to pass from face to face here , " where the colonel is known as an exper in that act. As an original Hay ward man he will experience no difficulty in squaring himself. It's the colonel's way. They do say that Colonel Mitch ell is very soie over that little postage incident at McCook Everybody admits , however , tha the Colonel has escaped very luck ily in not having to put up tha $27 on back issues.

A little corn husking has been delayed on account of sickness and some will have another tug at it when they recover. The star of Jupiter is letting its beautiful light shine in the early morning , but those who prefer to slumber long miss the charming sight. M. L. Brown is doing real well with his sheep. It is he who furn ishes some of the fine mutton which delights the people of McCook these days. The grip is up in the enemy's sountry and few are escaping its terrors. In some instances it is ivorso than war , pestilence and tamiue combined. THE proposed bill requiring all afficers having custody of public hinds to publish annual statements should be enacted into law. Pub- icity is a very effective way of preventing defalcations.
