SEVENTEENTH YEAR MeCOOK , RED WILLOW COUNTY , NEBRASKA , FRIDAY EVENING. MARCH 17 , 1899. NUMBER 44
I
Republican City Ticket.
"Responsive to call , the Republican
electors of the city met in the city hall ,
uVIonday evening , and placed in nomi
nation a Republican city ticket. Dr. S.
ii. Green was called to preside over the
-caucus and E. O. Scott of TUB TRIBUNE
was chosen as secretary. The following
nominations were made :
Mayor John E. Kelley.
City Clerk Charles I. Hall.
Treasurer John J. Garrard.
City Engineer Harvey P. Suttoii.
Councilman , First Ward W. S. Perry.
Councilman , Second Ward R. M.
Osborn.
Members of Board of Education A.
I
Campbell and W. F. Lawson.
These are all renominations , but Mr.
Garrard , who was named in place of E.
J. Wilcox , who declined renomination.
The office of city clerk was the only
contested nomination C. I. Hall and J.
A. Beyrer being named for the position.
The vote stood 37 for Hall and 26 for
.Beyrer.
The city central committee was ap
pointed l > y the chairman as follows : C.
F. Babcock , H. II. Troth , G. R Johnson ,
H. H. Berry and W. F. Lawsou.
It was a harmonious affair and almost
a unanimous one , and victory is assured.
The administration of the municipal af
fairs during the past year has been satis
factory and efficient , the city is in good
.financial condition , with sanitary and
police regulations well in hand , and the
probabilities are that no other ticket
will oppose it.
We Emphatically Decline
THE TRIBUNE emphatically declines
to enter into any' controversy with its
.good friend Colonel Phillips over this
county seat racket or this court hoube
nonsense. The matter is progressing
satisfactorily and will result in due time
to the ndvantage and credit of the people
of Red Willow county. All this bitterness -
-ness is unprofitable and painful and
useless. Commissioners Belles and Rob
inson are doing their duty as they see it
and we believe to the satisfaction of a
iarge majority of the people of the
county , who with THE TRIBUNE believe
that the county seat matter is settled for
ever and should be allowed to rest in
peaceful.oblivion. McCook will do what
she agreed to do , she will do it willingly
and fairly , and the county will have a
iiaudsome and substantial and highly
creditable court house in due time Mc
Cook will do her part and we believe
there are enough fair people in this
county willing to see that the county
does its part. We believe that Commis
sioners Belles and Robinson will see
that justice is done in this matter , ana
that the county shall be protected from
any wrong or injustice or damage. Both
have worked conscientiously to bring this
matter to an honorable and righteous
conclusion , and THE TRIBUNE believes
that they will succeed.
Dismissed the Writ.
The habeas corpus case of Benson
VanSteenbergh against the city of Mc
Cook , which was heard by Judge Norris
5it Beaver City , last Saturday , was de
cided in favor of the city , the writ being
dismissed on the ground th/ythe action
brought was not a proper f Jiedy in the
case , which to be tried on its merits
would have to be brought under an
action in appeal or error. As Mr. Van
Steenbergh had about served the time
of his confinement , he was released by
the authorities. The merits of the case
were not entered into or decided , so it
still remains unsettled whether the city
ordinance is legal or not. But neither
Mr. VanSteenbergh nor his company
seemed to be desirous of giving the w
matter any further test. It is claimed tlh :
Jjy the city attorney that such authority , h
that is , the authority to license solicitors C
who canvass from house to house , is delegated tlti :
the city under ti
egated police regulations ,
and that it is not in the nature of a tax ,
and in restraint of trade in
not any nec O'
essary sense , but simply a protection of O'h
the citizens. O'w
At any rate' the city came out of this w
controversy decidedly a winner , and those n
who want to canvass the city and cause tl ;
tlw
our people to have that tired feeling will w
have to pay for it. And why not ? li
It Ought to Go. jo

bonds in the sum of $1,500 to further aid

A Fair , Lovable Spirit Gone.
When Prof William Smith of the
Bartley Inter-Ocean laid down the burd
ens of life and passed to his reward , last
Friday morning , at his home in Bartley ,
a grand old man and a fair , lovable spir
it took its celestial flight with the bene
dictions of all whoever knew him , for
all recognized in him one of God's noble
men , whose love of the true and beauti
ful ever shut out malice and hate and
the unlovely things which mar our lii-
terrestial. His was a life of fidelity to
high ideals and purposes , and if he did
not lay up treasures on earth as men
count them , it was because his lofty
spirit disdained to stoop to the methods
which the world demands too truly to
accomplish that end. He was a gentle
man and a scholar of the old school , and
a citizen of such unswerving integrity
and honor as to be the admiration of
everyone.
'She funeral services were held in the
old college hall at Bartley on Sunday
morning , Rev. M. S. Foutch preaching
the sermon. The services were attend
ed by the many who admired and re
spected the departed in life. The re
mains were interred in the Bartley
cetnetei f
[ WILLIAM SMITH was born in Hiint-
ington county , Canada , near Montreal ,
in December , 1823. His parents were j
born in Scotland , near Edinboro. He
came to West Portledge , Vermont , when
a very young man , where he was a memi
her of the faculty in the Troy Confer
ence Academy. A few years later he
accepted a professorship in the Wesleyan
Female Seminar } ' at Delaware , Ohio.
During his stay there he was married to
Miss Mary McClain of Sunburg , Dela
ware county , Ohio , July 7th , 1856. At
this time the Female Seminary and the
Ohio Wesleyan University were united .r
in one institution. Prof. Smith was
then ] elected president of Xenia college ,
Ohio , where he remained in that capac
ity for twenty-five jears. Leaving there
ue came to York , Nebraska , in 1884 and
two years later he came to Bartley , Nebraska -
braska , and was an instructor in Malla-
ieu university during its brief existeHce.
A.t the closing of the university he be-
ame editor of the Bartley Inter-Ocean ,
which he published and edited for a'uout
twelve years.
He passed peacefully and triumphant
ly to his Saviour , Friday , March loth ,
tSgg , at 12 o'clock , being in his 76th
fear at his death. In his early boyhood
ae united with the church and continued
member of the same all his life , living
consistent Christian life worthy the
miulatiou of all. Always very solicitous
for the welfare of the young people , he
sought constantly to impress upon the
ninds of the young people with whom
le came in touch the higher ideals of a
uccessful life. Truly , it may be said of "
lim , "He has fought a good fight. " ]
Death in the Night.
While switching in the McCook yard ,
ast Friday night , Frank L. Delaware
net his death in a manner which will
ilways remain a mystery. The accident
ccurred about eleven o'clock. The de-
eased was on a string of empty cars
vhich were being switched onto one of
he yard tracks. No one else was on
he train. A man from the round bouse
joing over to the depot found his body
ying along side of the track. One arm
vas cut off , his head and face bruised
ind cut and his neck broken. The
probabilities ' are that the fatal hurt , the
roken neck , was received by falling
rorn the top of a box-car. What caused '
lim to fall from the car or what threw
lim from the car will never be known.
Services were held in the Catholic
ihurch , Monday morning , after which
he'remains were taken up to Beukel- it
nan on No , I for burial there. Services $1

pere held in the Methodist church at y
ienkelman , being very largely attended , te
.fter which the remains were mingled ted

The deceased leaves a wife and four ID

lold goods were removed from the
Iwelling. The early work of the bucket
jrigade was later supplemented by the
ire department , but the house was prac-
ically gutted , although the roof rc-
nained. The origin of the fire is a mys-
