NINETEENTH YEAR McCOOK , RED WILLOW COUNTY , NEBRASKA , FRIDAY EVENING. NOVEMBER 2 , I9OO. NUMBER 25
Says Colorado Is O. K.
\V. T. Coleinnu returned home , Mon
day morning on 2 , from u two-weeks'
visit in the stale of Colorado , where he
spent most of the time seeing and hear
ing all he could in Denver , Pueblo , Col
orado Springs , Leadville , Salida. Breck-
curidge and other places. He gives it
s the result of his diligent research and
close observation , hearing and meeting
state officers and slate nominees on all
tickets before the people of Colorado ,
that the state will cast its electoral vote
for McKinley. He says Hint iis evident
to any one that u great change has come
over the business and mining interests
of that state. He spoke to quite a num
ber of mine owners and business men ,
in different cities , ami talked with labor
ers in the great mills and smelters at
Pueblo , and it was 1 * * SIU C story , they
re pleased and satisfied with the situa
tion and recognize that McKinley's ad
ministration is for the best interest of
all Colorado's industries nnd they now
fear that Mr. Bryan's theories in action
would do them more damage than good
In Leadville one bulletin board called
/Or 1.400 men at wages ranging as high
as $4 per day. The same honrd adver
tised for 20 servants nt wages of $25 per
month The fact is they can't get
enough of men or women to work out
there at any price , and why should they
desire a change. He was delighted with
the state of affairs nnd came home full
of confidence and enthusiasm.
Died In the Stalks.
We reget to learn that James Doyle of
Perry precinct , early in the week , lost
six milch cows in the corn-stalks ; and
that one of the Divines lost one cow in
a similar way. They had the usual
bloated appearance. It is stated .that
there are occasional stalks of green corn
in the fields , amt that an examination of
each dead animal's stomach revealed
the presence of this green corn-stalk in
the animal's stomach.
An old stockman says that he never
lost an animal in that way in his life.
He says he feeds his stock on nubbins of
corn for two weeks or so before putting
his stock in the corn-stalks. It is his
opinion that the trouble results from
turning the animals into the stalks with
out preparing Uieir stomachs for the
dry feed by strengthening the same with
some corn. The animals being too hun
gry , and their stomach weak , they over
eat nnd fall victims to the bloat. He
did not think it was the result of poison
in the corn-stalks.
Since writing the above , we learn that
K. C. Dueland of Quick , Frontier coun
ty , first of this week , lost seven cows in
the stalks , in a similar manner.
The Awl-Os Entertain.
The Halloween party by the young la
dies of the Awl-Os club , Wednesday even
ing , in the I. O O. F. hall , was the live
liest and gayest social tvent of the early
fall season. They entertained about
forty young men of the city , showing
them a warm time as befitted the special
occasion.
The hall was elaborately decorated iu
i appropriate style , a fortune-telling booth
being one of the especial features of the
same , in which skulls and bones galore
I were arranged in gruesome effectiveness.
The guests of the occasion looked like
the rear-guard of a Coxey army for rai
ment grotesque.
A corn-pile and husking-pegs were
provided in abundance , with an occas
ional red ear to relieve any monotony
or ennui that might , peradventure , over
come any of the guests.
The ladies of the Methodist chuich
spread the refreshments served the
guests. This feature was a characteristic
success and in harmonious keeping with
the rest of the affair.
A Fall In Oil.
S. D. McClaii : of the McCook tank
line had a runaway , Wednesday morn
ing , on McDowell-Dakota streets. As
he was returning from delivering an
order of oil , the horses started up briskly
aud he was unable to secure his place on
the driver's seat. The horses continued
homeward nt an increasing speed and
being unable to turn in at the home
alley , continued east on Dakota street
until they collided with a telephone post
in .front of H. P. Sutton's residence.
The wagon was considerably damaged ,
but there was no loss of the heavy load
of oil. The horses were not hurt. Mr.
McCIain secured another wagon , mount
ed his tanks and is doing business at the
T old stand until the wrecked wagon can
be repaired.

THE DOBSON SPEECH.
The Ablest Delivered In McCook During
This Campaign.
Beyond any question of doubi the
ablest political auuress of ibis campaign
was that delivered by the lion. G. L.
Dobson , secretary ot slate of Iowa , in
the opera-house , last niyhl , under au
spices ot the Railway Men's club of Mc
Cook. "As u logical , argumentative ,
forceful aud instructive elTort , delivered
with an earnest enthublusm characteristic
of a clear-thinking , ulert , wide-awake
man of large experience , wide travel and
varied observation , u has never been
excelled in this city.
Mr. Dobson is an Englishman by
birth , an enthusiastic and loyal Amer
ican by adoption. He is sturdy aud
square-built of form and just as sturdy
and square-built of principles. Leav
ing a tree trade country because he could
not get ahead uuder that condition of
affairs in England , he cauie to a protec
tion country , America , and he regards
protection as the fundamental fact of
America's prosperity , today. His re
marks were largely directed to showing
the advantages of protection , and quoted
facts and history largely to prove its
value to the farmers and laboring men
of the country ; incidentally referring to
the disastrous years of free trade under
the Wilson bill to make the invaluableness -
ness of protection the more apparent.
He was powerfully clear on this proposi
tion. He showed that the farmers were
having good times when the laboring
men were all employed at good wages ;
that labor is only employed and well
paid when the American mills are run
ning and the mill owners protected from
the cheap labor of Europe by protection
hence protection is the corner-stone of
our national prosperity. His argument
was most convincing and compelling on
this line.
He showed by new methods and some
new facts , the absolute fallacy and im
practicability of free silver , the second
in the list of Mr Bryan's comedy of
errors. He also made a strong showing
of the efforts of the Republican party to
give silver a fair show and to keep it in
circulation , coining the metal on govern
ment account as freely as the circum
stances and the chances of maintaining
it on a parity with gold would permit.
His propositions on this score were
strong and clear and convincing , show
ing great familiarity with the facts of
the much-mooted money question , once
'so lovingly advocated by Mr. Bryan , but
now forgotten and neglected , like his
first-love , free trade.
And of course he could not neglect
that latest paramount issue of Mr. Bryan ,
the trust question. He admitted that it
is a great question and that it will re
quire the ripest wisdom of the land to
solve it , but he proved the most conclus
ively that the Democratic party is not
the party to settle the question , by ex
hibiting the record of tne Democratic
party on the trust question in the last
congress , when they had an opportunity
to help the Republicans get the govern
ment in shape to commence effective
legislation against unlawful combina
tions of capital. They voted to a man ,
almost , against the measure , aud thus
disposed of any possibility of securing the
necessary initiatory legislation of the
trust question an amendment to the
constitution of the United States.
His references to that other paramount
issue of the opposition , imperialism , was
somewhat brief. He regarded it as a
bugaboo intended to scare the German
vote , and he regarded the Germans as al
together too intelligent citizens to be
taken in by such a foolish bit of non
sense as that. He had confidence in
their good common sense , their strong
stand for sound money , and their ap
preciation of a good job at a good wage ,
to keep them in line for McKinley and
prosperity.
His pointed references to the 'state ,
congressional and legislative nominees
were heartily appreciated , as indeed was
his entire speech from , introduction to
close. The assaults on Deitrich and the
circular appealing to railroad men to
vote against E. N. Allen and J. E. Hath-
orn , were referred to in no uncertain
terms. The first he characterized as un
speakably cowardly and disreputable ,
and the second as an attempt to get rail
road votes by arraying the men against
the company the old doctrine of class
hatred by promises they could not
make good and had not made good when
they had the opportunity.
The meeting was in charge of the
Railway Men's club of McCook , and the
sneaker was warmly introduced by M.
E. Wells , foreman of the machine-shop ,
who lived a neighbor to the speaker
back in Iowa , in years agone. After
the speech the numerous "full-dinner
pails" on the stage were opened and the
audience was invited to come up and
partake of the hospitality of the club.
Two cakes were exhibited on the speak
er's stand , one representing the labor
er's fare in iSg6 , made of corn-meal , and
the other ma le of the best the land can
afford , and of the vintage of 1900. They
truthfully exhibited the improved con
ditions of the laboring man now over
those of 1896.
The Nebraska Brigade band added a
delightful element of harmony and en
thusiasm to the event which has never
been excelled in the political history of
McCook.
Important Meeting : .
An important session of the poultry
people is called to meet in H. H , Berry's
office , Saturday afternoon at three

factory success.

The "Professor" Decamped.
"Professor" C. J. Todd , who claimed
to be from St. Joseph , Missouri , and who
for a brief while held a chair in William
Zint's barber-shop , some time on Sun
day afternoon last , decamped for parts
unknown , without any formal leave-tak
ing with his employer or fellow-work
men , aud his whereabouts have since
been a source of teuderest solicitude with
the entire force down there. The "pro
fessor" made merry with several and
sundry articles belonging to his late em
ployer and fellow-employes in the shop ,
besides borrowing a little coin for his
purse and leaving his boarding-house
keeper in the lurch for the amount of
his board. He arrived in the city on
Wednesday last and departed this part
of the foot-stool on Sunday. He is about
$25 long and the proprietor and force
are that amount short on coin and appa-
rati. Mr. Zint went as far east as Hast
ings , but failed to get any trace of him.
It is thought that he went west.
Lincoln and Sonnenschein.
J. H. Lincoln of Stockville and a Mr.
Sonnenscheiu of somewhere addressed a
small audience in the opera house , Tues
day eveuing. Mr. Sonneuschein is a
German , and his name was not an
nounced on the bills advertising the
meeting , but a personal effort was made
to gather in the Russian and German
voters of the community , to convert
them to Fusionism on the militarism
scare. His arguments were the usual
stock in trade on that subject , and the
vote in McCook on next Tuesday will
show that Mr. "Sunshine" failed to work
any of the Russians at this place. They
have work and fair pay and know that
the whole militarism scare is a mere
bugaboo to catch foreign votes. Such
chaff won't catch birds of their age.
It was a quiet , slick effort , however.
