NINETEENTH YEAR McCOOK , RED WILLOW COUNTY , NEBRASKA , FRIDAY EVENING. APRIL 5 , 19OI. NUMBER 47
The City Election.
McCook's city election , Tuesday , was
a simple matter of form. But one ticket
in the field the Republican ticket and
with no issue of great importance before
tfie people , the interest was small and
the vole correspondingly light. The en
tire Republican ticket was elected :
Mayor , C. E. Eldred ; cpuncilmen , W. S.
Perry in the First ward and R. M. Os-
born in the Second ; clerk E. J. Wilcox ;
treasurer , A. C. Ebert ; engineer , L. C.
Dole ; members of the board of education ,
R. B. Archibald and E. H. Doan.
The joker was in evidence , and there
were a number of scattering votes , es
pecially on the head of the ticket.
THB TRIBUNE believes that our city
has fallen in good lines and that we shall
in the new year have a continuance of
the good government we have enjoyed
during the past year.
A Rare Treat
In the form of a lecture is in store for
the people of McCook on April i6th.
Mr. Will M. Matipin will deliver his
lecture , entitled , "The Wit and "Humor
of the Bible , " at the Christian church.
Mr. Maupin will deliver this lecture at a
number of different points in the state
and all who are interested in the study
of the Book will be glad to get this op
portunity to hear him. Crowded halls
have greeted him in Omaha and other
cities , and we are sure our people will
appreciate a lecture along Biblical lines ,
which gives to the Bible an added beauty
and interest.
Adults 25 cts. , at the door ; children ,
15 cts. Tues'day , April i6th , at 8 p. m.
Rare as Valuable.
Such a snows-term as the continuous
one , close of last and first of this week ,
is a very uncommon and infrequent
occurrence in South-Western Nebraska ,
and is as valuable as rare. Perhaps the
aggregate snow-fall reached the depth of
a foot on the level. There was but slight
wind and as the snow was a wet one ,
most of the moisture was conserved and
soaked into the earth , giving promise of
a wheat crop and creating much encour
agement.
.The roads of the country and streets
mute but muddy , testimonial
-of the city are a ,
menial of the finest snow-fall this section
of Nebraska has been visited with in
years.
Easter Service.
The members of St John Command-
ery , Knights Templar , of this city , will
hold special service on Easter day in the
M. E. church. The Rev. Howard Stoy.
rector of the Episcopal church , and a
v. Sir Knight of the order , will preach the
! > / annual sermon. All visiting Sir Knights
rW are cordially invited to meet at the
B asylum at one o'clock p. m. Services at
i two o'clock. _

Follows Her Aged Husband.
There is something pathetically sweet
and providential in the fact that the
death of one member of a long and
happy union frequently soon results in
the decease of the one remaining on the
shores of time , and that those so long
companions here are not long separated
hereafter.
An instance in point is the death of
Mrs. Eliza Stone , wife of the late Will
iam T. Stone , at her home over in Drift
wood precinct , Monday morning about
six o'clock , just one week after the death
of her husband.
The deceased was in her 8oth year ,
and the shock of the death of him who
had been her companion in all the vicis
situdes of a long and eventful life they
had been married over fifty years at
once confined her to bed and death
came sweetly on Monday morning.
Mrs. Stone was born in England on
the 25th day of October , 1821 , coming
here from Michigan in 1872 with her
husband ; they were pioneers of the Drift
wood valley and of Red Willow county ,
and highly esteemed by all.
The funeral services were conducted
in the home , Wednesday afternoon at
one o'clock , by Rev. W. J. Turner of the
Congregational church of our city ; bur
ial followed in Riverview cemetery.
Fred Stone was down from Mayweed
to attend the funeral.

S. M. Cole , a Newcomer , Shoots
Himself.
S. M. Cole , who was just moving from
Beatrice , Neb. , onto a farm in Union
township , shot himself in the abdomen
with a 38 calibre revolver Sunday after
noon about four o'clock and died Monday
morning between nine and ten. He said
he had more troubles than he could
bear. He was formerly "a railroad engi
neer with a good berth , but being com
pelled last fall to undergo a new exami
nation he failed on account of some
heart trouble and lost his job. This
discouraged him and he finally concluded
to go on a farm and purchased in Union
township.
He was moving in by way of Van
Meter while his family were visiting in
Illinois. With him were his wife's
stepfather and his hired man who had
formerly been his fireman on the rail
road. The condition of the roads and
the house , which he feared would not be
fit for his family , having been used to
better , further discouraged him and he
brooded over his troubles until they over
came him. He went up stairs with the
remark that he would be down a Don.
The hired man heard the shot but did
realize what it was. Presently he heard
Mr. Cole calling and went up stairs to
find him laying on the floor with a bullet
through his abdomen. Dr. Davenport
was called and extracted the ball but
could give no hope for the man's
recovery and , he passed away the follow
ing morning. His wife was telegraphed
and has arrived. The funeral will occur
at the house at 10 a. m. tomorrow , and
the remains interred in the Winterset
cemetery. Winterset ( Iowa ) Reporter.
