m By F M KIMMELL Largest Circulation in Red Willow Co Subscription 1 a Year in Advance The rnilroads of NebraBkn seem to havo given up the idea of holding off the conventions and senatorial endorse ments but no one can safely charge them with keeping their eyes off the gun tho state legislature The Tribune has been asked already what tho policy of the delegates to the several conventions from Red- Willow county will be in view of the anti pass resolution passed by tho late county con vention We cannot authoritatively answer the question but we note that tho resolution itself condemns unresorv edly every effort made to make of that doctrine a farce and a sham and we cannot now make up our mind to think that such patriotic men as constitute our state delegation will do anything to embarrass tho Republicans of Red Wil low county after such a straight and strong pronouncement on that question There is only one thing for them to do pay their fares Fifth Congressional District

ty met in convention in McCook last Saturday and named candidates for office selected delegates to the several conventions resolved selected county committee and several other matters It was in some aspects one of the most remarkable conventions in tho history of Red Willow county At the morning session J E Kelley was made chairman and J E Ryan secretary of the convention Commit tees on resolutions and credentials were appointed and the convention adjourn ed until 130 in tho afternoon Promptly at the time adjourned to the convention took up its work The first nomination made was that of coun ty attorney Preston E Reeder of Mc Cook and Samuel R Smith of Indianola were candidates The first ballot gavo Reeder 82 and Smith 44 Mr Reeder acknowledged the honor in a brief speech Phillip Gliem of Danbury was renom inated by acclamation and made a clever square deal Rooseveltian speech of acknowledgement Samuel Premer was made the nominee for commissioner in the second district in the same manner The following named delegates were named on a committee to select the state congressional and senatorial de legationsbeing one from each repre sented precinct in the county W H Honton Charles Skalla T Steve Bolles W M Sharp W V Miller I H Was son H L Brown C M Goben B W Benjamin G W Burt C H Nichols John Doveny C H Harman Elias Canaga Ernest Pearson Chester Rcdg ers H PWaite WAMiddleton R W Devoe I L Rodstrom Congressman G W Norris was court eously civen permission to name the congressional delegation but preferred to have it named in the usual manner He wanted to take the whole convention with him if he could It was decided to invite Congressman G W Norris and Attorney General Brown to address the meeting during the absence of the nominating commit tee Congressman Norris responded with a vigorous presentation of the accomplish ments of the late congress congratulat ing the Republican party and the people of the nation upon the many good and great and useful things secured in that session against immense opposition The attorney general made a ten stroke in his opening tribute to the con gressman and then proceeded to warm up the Burlington and Union Pacific railroads in a manner entirely new to a McCook audience for their tax shirking and meddling in the politics of the state Taking into account the setting it was the most humorous thing the writer has seen and heard in several moons But it brought the endorse ment The following resolutions were then reported by Chairman Barnett who however gave Charles Skalla credit for the almost entire effort They are the warmest bunch of resolutions ever adopted by a Republican convention in Red Willow county Here they are RESOLUTIONS The Republicans of Red Willow coun ty meet again in convention to reaffirm their staunch allegiance to the princi ples which have brought peace and pros perity to this great land of ours and have prompted in a high degree the con tentment and happiness of the people We take pride in following the in trepid leader of our party Theodore Roosevelt and we commend his un wavering loyalty to our party principles his patriotic zeal in the discharge of of public duty his popular policy of the square deal his watchful and unrelent ing care of the interests of the whole people and his firm stand for equality among men in all matters be they pol irnnl pnTnTriftrpal or social His I WW splendid character is a bulwark of strength to his party and a guaranty to all people of a faithful impartial and forceful administration of the executive affairs of the nation We commend the loyal support given the President by all the Nebraska mem bers of both house and congress Especially do we commend the record of Hon George W Norris who has well and faithfully served the people of the Fifth Congressional district and is a forceful worker for the welfare of his constituents We instruct our delegates to the congressional convention to ex press the confidence in him reposed by the republicans of Red Willow county by their cordial and unanimous support of him in the convention We recommend all the republican state officials for the clean and conscien tious administration they have given our state We demand that the anti pass doc trine as enunciated by our party to be made a settled policy to be faithfully observed by ourcandidates and officials and we condemn unreservedly every effort made to make of that doctrine a farce and a sham In the most emphatic manner do we express our approval of the course taken by our state officials to compel the Bur lington and Union Pacific railroad com panies to pay the taxes justly assessed against them and we condemn the action of the railroads in attempting to dodge taxation as a display of corporate greed and unfairness wjgg3aaMBgggawyMaSStEi We favor an elective railway commis sion charged with the important duty of equalizing railroad tariffs and endow ed with power to punish all forms of re bates and private graft and we insist that the members of such commission be men of known convictions who will discharge their duties with equality thoroughness and fearlessness Wo realize that the coming state con vention is to be one of great importance It has some momentous duties to per form It is essential to the welfare of our party that the convention of 1906 align itself fairly and squarely with the issues which have for their leader tho President himself and for their followers the great mass of the American people That such results may be assured it is necessary that the delegates to that convention be men of right and open convictions men that will vote tho will of the people in the selection of party candidates and -the adoption of platform planks To the end that Red Willow county will be found in warm and open sympathy with those questions we pledge our delegates to the support of candidates for state officers who with their characters their principles and their associations commend themselves as worthy of our confidence and trust The nominating committee then re ported and the following delegations were announced State delegation W T Henton J E Kelley

ton to give up his seat in order to go to the legislature of his state but Con- rrrnccnian Timnthv D Sullivan of New lOrK WHO J LU1MU of as tho next boss of Tammany Hall does not look at the matter in thi9 war Before his election to congress as the represent ative of 200000 people he served sev eral terms in the New York legislature Now he proposes to go to Albany again instead of returning to Washington Big Tim as he is known In New York deserts Washington because it is too far away from the Bowery to suit him and because it seems to him that Uncle Joe Cannon is all there is of congress that counts Congress is dull he saj s and its too much of a one man game to suit me Just imaglno a game with about 300 men sitting In and one man taking all the pots Big Tim was a newsboy at eight years of age and a politician at eight een He does not smoke or chew At one time he owned six saloons but ho has never used liquor as a beverage There isnt much about the sporting life that Big Tim is not familiar with and one day at Washington he in duced a rural representative to accom pany him to a pool room in Virginia Little Jack Horner Is a cinch Sul livan told his guest Give me 5 to put on him The representative produced a five dollar note and Big Tim put it on for him at odds of 10 to 1 Sullivans guest knew nothing of the mysteries of the pool room After the race was run Sullivan handed his friend 35 Do I get all this he exclaimed wonderingly And all for 5 Sure theres no mistake Its all yours the horse won Con gressman Sullivan told him Say Sullivan the other statesman cried how long has this thing been going on Why didnt you put me next before Vice Admiral Petrovitch Itojestven sky who pleaded guilty before a Rus sian court martial to the charge of surrendering the gunboat Biedovy did so it is believed in a manly effort to save the members of his staff At the time of the surrender the Russian com mander was seriously wounded It is doubtful if he was in possession of his faculties at all The Japanese say that he had nothing to do but surren der anyway It is said that the vice admiral believes that his officers hauled down the St Andrews cross from the gunboat on which he had taken refuge out of affection for their commander and in order to save his life if possible He K - VICE ADMIRAL RO JESTVENSKY now takes all responsibility for the surrender on himself and asks that he may receive the full penalty which is virtually an appeal for condemnation and death Admiral Rojestvensky was in com mand of ail the Russian naval forces present at the eventful battle of the Sea of Japan He was born near Mos cow in ISIS and his career in the Rus sian navy has been a long and event ful one Governor Claude A Swanson of Vir ginia who says the railroads by elim inating competition in rates havo forced the public to protect itself by controlling the same was a member of the house of representatives a short time ago and one day he was leaving Washington to deliver a speech at a convention of Confederate veterans As he stood at the wicket in the Pennsylvania railroad station buying CLAUDE A SWAN SON a ticket he placed his little hand bag on the floor When he had folded up his ticket and turn ed to pick up his bag it was gone Inside it was the speech which he was to deliver to the veterans A cold chill ran down the congressmans back and then hot perspiration oozed from every pore wilting his fine lin en in a few min utes Only thirty minutes intervened before his train would start and It was the only train before the hour for the appointed speech As Mr Swanson was born while his father was fighting In the battle of Malvern Hill and all his knowledge of the various strategic movements of the war and his stock of anecdotes were acquired at second hand he felt himself poorly equipped to undertake an offhand effort to tho grizzled veterans He called up the station detective and the telephones to police headquar ters were set going with hot questions as to how to find the bag In less than same time Sena torProetor has said that ha woujd re tire from the uppor branch of congiess in 1900 as ho will be seventy - eight years of age if he lives until that time It Is under stood that he would be gratified were his son chosen as his successor Sen ator Troctor was once governor of Vermont himself Eletcbor D Proc fen aTTnufes

train Fletcher D Proctor who was nomi nated for governor of Vermont by the recent Republican state convention at Moutpclier is a son of Kedfield Proc- tor United States senator from Ver i mont Should

7000000 and a payroll of 100000 per month An interesting feature in connection with this Indus try is its system of company stores Last year the stores paid a dividend of 30000 to tho employees of the marble company patronizing them General Edward S Bragg to whom congress voted a pension of 30 a month has had a career as warrior and statesman and he will perhaps be remembered best by posterity as com mander of the famous Iron Brigade In the civil war and as author of the now historic phrase We love him for the enemies he has made lie has been congressman minister to Mexico and consul general at Havana and at Hongkong and participated in the con ventions which nominated Horatio Sey mour in 18GS and Horace Greeley in 1K79 for nrnsiflfint L Sim XirUMZ t GENERAL EDWARD S I5RAGG As commander of the Iron Brigade he won a record as a soldier seldom equaled It was at the second Bull Run that the Stonewall Brigade of the Confederate army and the Iron Bri gade of the Fed eral army grappled in a deatli strug gle When the sol diers had exhaust ed their ammuni tion they clubbed their guns and when these were broken they fought with appalling savagery with the stones of that historic railroad cut for missiles It was at once a charge and a melee In that battle and in the other engage ments in which it participated during the remainder of the war the Iron Brigade lost more men in killed and wounded than any similar command of the whole Federal army It was in 18S4 at the convention which first nominated G rover Cleve land for the presidency that General Bragg coined the phrase that has been so often quoted since Bourke Cock ran and Thomas F Grady represent ing Tammany Hall had made a fierce onslaught upon Mr Cleveland then governor of New York and in replying to it General Bragg in an impassioned speech declared We love him gentlemen and re spect him not only for himself for his character his integrity his judgment and Iron will but we love him for the enemies he has made When Attorney General Moody re turned from Chicago where he wor ried hard to put the beef trust officials in jail he went to his residence to take a short rest A visitor called to see Mr Moody but met an obstacle in the person of a negro butler who said It would be agin de constitution to wake the attorney general Cant you call later Mayor George B McClellan of New York who narrowly escaped being in the railway accident near Salisbury England says there is no such thing as honest graft and that gild it as you please graft is grisly He was for merly congressman from the Twelfth New York district One time while he was at Washington he was introduced to a gushing young woman daughter of a western Demo cratic politician She was deeply in terested in politics but her knowledge was not proportion ed to her zeal She had a brother living in New York who had ambitions for geohge r m clel the career of a LA- statesman and she was bubbling over with tho young mans plans These were the chief topic of her conversa tion with the congressman from the Twelfth My brothers going to run for con gress she remarked by way of in troduction Ah said Colonel McClellan Yes she continued hes going to run in the Twelfth district He thinks there ought to be a gentleman in con gress from that district and a horrid Tammany man has the place now Colonel McClellan did not disturb her joy by disclosing the Identity of the horrid Tammany man MMMWMMII 1 For that Dandruff There is one thing that will cure it Ayers Hair Vigor It is a regular scalp medicine It auicklv destroys the germs which cause this
