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.

Just before quitting work , Tues
day evening , Peter Kreiger had
the misfortune to step on a uai

three-quarters of an inch. The

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

got into the buggy and only his

Ginther. Both vehicles were re
duced to kindling wood.

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.

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

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. Some people
don't know when they are treatec
well.
The Farmers' Institute to be
held in Indiauola , Thursday auc
Friday , January 2Gth and 27th
will be well worthy the attendance
of all practical farmers in Rec
Willow and adjoining counties
The Institute will be held undei
the auspices , or rather the super
vision , of men from the agricult
ural department of the state uni

will not only be practical , but will
be scientific as well. Indianola

day , morning , afternoon and even
ing. There will be a full and free
discussion of the pressing and
leading questions touching agri

agriculture and stock-raising is of

us all , and demands our attention.
Let this meeting be a valuable one
to the farmers of the county.

stock unless you visit our place

delights the people of McCook
these days.
The grip is up in the enemy's

THE proposed bill requiring all
