NINETEENTH YEAR McCOOK , RED WILLOW COUNTY. NEBRASKA. FRIDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 26 , 19OO NUMBER 24
The Schmldt-Norval Wedding.
A very pretty wedding indeed was that
of Mr. William E. Schmidt and Miss
Lilian M. Norvnl of our city , which
transpired at the home of the bride's
parents , Mr. and Mrs. William O. Nor-
val , Wednesday morning of this week ,
at 10:30 : a. In , in the piesence of between
thirty and forty relatives and near friends
of the high contracting parlies.
The ceremony occurred in the parlor ,
under a canopy of lace curtains , decorat
ed with stnilax and carnations , Rev W.
J. Turner of the Congrrgaiional church
performing the same
At the appointed hour , to the music
of the wedding march from "Lohen
grin " played by a sister of the bride ,
Miss Stella Norval , the Inide and groom
approached and took position under the
canopy , where they were solemnly made
one in the use of the ring ceremony.
The bride was gowned in white Persian
lawn , trimmed with insertion and lace ,
and carried a bouquet of white roses.
The bride has grown from childhood
to young womanhood in our city , being
the youngest daughter of three in the
Norval home. The groom is a machinist
and well esteemed by all who know him
They have the best wishes of a large
circle of friends for their future happi
ness , contentment and prosperity.
After the usual congratulations , the
parly sat down to an elaborate wedding
breakfast spread with oil tastefulness
and daintiness.
The parlor and dining-room decora
tions were of palms , carnations , roses
and smilax. The parlor was decorated
in white and green ; the dining-room in
pink and green.
Numerous pretty and rich gifts were
received.
The young couple departed on No. I *
the same day. for California , expecting
to spend a month on the coast. They
will be "at home" at the Norval resi
dence after December first.
Mrs. S. S. Graham , a sister of Mrs.
Norval , with her husband , of Elmwood ,
Illinois , were present , arriving in the
city , Monday on i.
Will be Practically New.
F. C. Kellogg & Co. are taking ad
vantage of the quiet time in the elevator
business and have commenced improve
ments to their elevator plant in this city
which will give them a much larger
plant and one to all purposes a new ele
vator. A force of men is now at work
tearing down much of the old elevator
in preparation for the improvements ,
which will be varied. In the first place
a new solid and heavy stone foundation
and pit will be provided ; the building
will be considerably enlarged on the
ground floor , and an additional story
built for bins and storage. A new roof
will be placed on the building , which
will be painted and thoroughly repaired
and placed in first-class condition for
business. It is the purpose to very
largely increase the storage capacity of
the elevator for retail purposes. When
the work now mapped out shall have
"been finished , McCook will have two of
the best equipped elevators in the Upper
Republican valley.
For a Curfew Ordinance.
A petition is being widely circulated
and numerously signed , which will be
presented the city council at its next
meeting for consideration and action.
Doubtless there is a strong demand for
a curfew ordinance in McCook , where so
many of the youth of both sexes are al
lowed to be out too late at night unat
tended.
An ordinance of reasonable require
ments , which can for that reason be successfully
*
4 cessfully enforcedwill be quite generally
approved in this city at this time ; and
THE TRIBUNE expresses the hope of
many citizens that the council may grant
the petition and pass an ordinance in
compliance therewith in the near future.
McCook Well Represented.
The Nebraska Brigade band , the Mc
Cook Glee club and the McCook Drum
corps , all in uniform , together with
many citizens , were participants in the
great Ex-Speaker Keifer rally in Red
Cloud , last Saturday , one of the grand

Meiklejohn at Orleans.
Orleans , Neb. , October 23 , 1900. Or
leans and Harlan county turned out in
large numbers , this afternoon , tovel -
come Hon. George D. Meiklejohn , assist
ant secretary of war. American flags ,
streamers and bunting decorated the
streets and business houses. . Every
available hitching-post held a farmer's
team , and the vehicles crowded the
streets of the town as on a gala-day of a
county fair. Bands from Stamford and
Republican City and the famous glee
club from McCook rendered stirring
music. Dr. W. H. Banwell , mayor of
Orleans , presided and introduced the
distinguished speaker in a well-worded
address. Secretary Meiklejohn for two
lours held 2,000 or 3,000 citizens of Har-
an county with rapt attention. His
discussion of the issues of the day was
able and logical. He was fair and gen
tlemanly in his discussion , and won the
respect , from the start , of his political
opponents , who pronounce his speech an
able and excellent effort. His arguments
on the imperialism issue , from tlie stand
point of a government official , were sim-
) ly unanswerable ; his answer to the
charge of slavery in the dominion of the
sultan ofSulu was conclusive and the
charge was nailed to the cross ; Mr.
Bryan's heresies vanished like vapor be-
ore a summer sun. The leading issues
of the campaign were handled by a
master hand that carried conviction to
even the biased. He spoke in the open
air in the city hall square. It was the
jreatest demonstration of the campaign
n Harlan county. The opposition all
speak highly of the man and of his
peecb ; he left behind general respect
of his standing as a gentleman , states
man and orator. Republicans can con-
jratulate themselves on the unmeasured
uccess of the splendid meeting in Or-
eans.
From this point , the secretary went to
Arapahoe , where there was a duplicate
of the crowd and enthusiasm and suc
cessful meeting. F.
Sugar Beets.
A few cars of sugar beets have already
> een shipped to the factory from Mc
Cook , and the returns have been quite-
atisfactory. Of the four cars marketed ,
C. H. Meeker's report is 12 7 saccharine
matter and 76.6 purity ; Conrad Uhrich ,
4 9 and 83.9 ; Conrad Wacker on H. P.
Button's farm , 15.10 and 80.7. These
are all above the 12 per cent require
ment of the company.
In all between 30 and 40 cars will be
hipped from this point , this season ,
[ emonstrating that beets of a high test
can be raised at this place.
This is an industry second to none in
> oint of advantage and possibilities to
his country , and should be encouraged.
It is not too much to expect that a
> roper effort will eventually locate a
ugar factory in this point in the Repub-
ican valley , which can be made the
reatest sugar-producing section of Ne-
jraska.
A Halloween Party.
The young ladies of the Awl-Os club
are out with "butcher linen" invitations
o the young gentlemen of the city for
a Halloween party in Odd Fellows' hall ,

thing" to the boys on the coming merry
occasion.
The ladies of the Aid society of the
Methodist church will serve the refresh
ments.

hop in the opera-house , last evening ,

contended that the wreck was caused by
carelessness to which the deceased con

The Meiklejohn Meeting.
Wednesday evening , in the opera
house. Hon. George D. Meiklejohn
assistant secretary of war , addressed ai
immense audience * of enthusiastic citi
zens from city and surrounding country
indeed not a few weie unable to secure
seats. Mr. Meiklejohn handled the is
sues of the campaign in a dispassionate
manner , giving facts and quoting history
to bear out his assertions , and even thosi
opposed to him politically are forced tc
admit that he made a strong case for the
Republican party in the past and for its
future continuance in power.
A good portion of the speaker's time
was utilized in presenting the tariff his
tory of the Republican party ; and he
succeeded in showing that prosperity
and contentment have traveled in com
pany with protection as practiced and
held by the Republican party ; and that
disaster and distress have followed the
free trade doctrine of the Democracy.
He touched the trust question in un
mistakable terms , showing that about
all the trust legislation America has ever
had is the result of the efforts of the Re
publicans in congress , and that the
tjlauie for there not being more and bet
ter legislation rests with the Democratic
and opuhst members of congress , who
by fillibustering and delaying considera
tion of the measure proposed by the Re
publicans , made legislation impossible
at the last session of congress.
After .showing up the free trade and
free silver fallacies of the opposition , he
closed with an exhaustive uiscussion ol
he imperialism issue scared up by the
Jemocrats when no other issue could be
bund to fool the people , not all the
lime , but this time. to the end that the
offices might be secured. He placed
nuch of the blame for the continuance
of the insurrection in the Philippine
slands Jo the attitude of the Democratic
Darty in this campaign , and read letters
rom soldiers in the field to prove his as
sertion , which he-claimed could not be
successfully denied.
It is not possible within the limits of
this shor.t article to even hint at all the
splendid arguments presented by the
speaker ; suffice it to say that he covered
the whole real ground of the campaign
thoroughly and convincingly.
The Nebraska Brigade band and the
McCook Glee club furnished music of
most excellent and happy kind for the
occasion , and thus added a very pleas
ant and acceptable element to a political
event of unusual interest. Both of the
musical organizations are doing work
that is finer than silk , just now , and
their efforts were enchored to the echo.
Hon. G. L. Dobson Will Speak.
On the evening of next Thursday ,
November ist , Hon. G. L. Dobson of
Iowa will speak in the opera-house on
the political issues of the campaign as
they especially interest the laboring
man. Mr. Dobson is a laborer himself
and is in a position to talk intelligently
to working men. He has a word for
railroad men , especially. He should be
given a large hearing , especially by the
laboring men of the city , who make up a
large portion of our population. He
will give reasons why the election of
President McKinley is of greatest mo
ment to the laborer. You can't afford
to miss this address ; it will be one of
the best of the campaign.
