and gpite numerously signed prayingj
for McKinley and prosperity each
signer agreeing tp be present at a
meeting to J5e held Saturday evening
for the purpose of organizing a Mc
Kinley an4 Hobart plub
The eventful njht arrived and tfie
faithful repaired to Cprneil Hall to
everlastingly wipe up the earth with
all species of antagonism to the Na
poleon and bis platform Eight
oclock arrived and the meeting -was
called to order A careful count of
noses disclosed just thirty people pres
ent A few rnore drifted in later
makipg a large crowd thirity eight in
number Of thege about a dpzen were
direct antagonists of McKinley
E J Davenport was made chairman
and the Judge accomodated the audi
ence He stated that he was a repub
lican and believed in republican doc
trine Hesaid he did not believe the
money question to be the paramount
isjue in the coming campaign and
that if he did ne would be found in
some other party as he believed in
free silver The Judge was s loudly
applauded when he announced his
allegiance to McKinley
Judge J Wesley Tucker was the
nextonthe list and as his iportty
j frame loomed up in front of the as-
gembled multitude he was greeted
with applause There is something
in Judge Tuckers looks which is sug
gestive of humor and he always starts
his speeohes with astory or joke This
time was no exception to the general
rale He commenced by comparing
Judge Walcott to a baby elephant and
Was greeted with laughter For a
wonder he fought shy of the tariif
question and launched out on sound
money thus tacitly denying the state
ments of the former speaker Grover
Cleveland came in for eulogy and
such a eulogy as it was The most
ardeht Cleveland democrat could not
have said more for Grover The Judge
admitted he had been studying the
money question for the last 30 days
and had become convinced that the
gold standard was the only thing that
would save the country and that
Grdvet Cleveland was one of the most
able men the world had ever known
or Wdtds to that effect His Cleveland
talk was not very well received
E J Davenport offered a few re
marks and said that the republican
dahdidate for congress from this dis
trict wduld be here soon and exhotted
everybddy to vote for him1
the meeting then adjourned td Fri

Martha Mclntyre the 8 year old
daughter of Rattlesnake Jack was
yesterday placed in the custody of
Sheriff Strong who will take the little
girUo the Girls Industral SchooJ at
Geueya complaint haying been made
l that the little one was growing up
without proper care She is g bright
Htttegirl and it is a pity she has so
long beenj kept in such environment as
thatprovided for her by Jack She
was traveling with the snake show and
would handle the monster rattlers and
bull snakes with apparently as much
ease as her father did Complaint win
probably be made to have her brother
a boy about 9 years old taken to
Kearney The father undoubtedly
took as good care of the children as he
coM buthe is a dirty loathsome
ppiuhviierid in addition to being a
snake eharnieif and has not the slight
est idea about the proper caie of child
ren Poor Jack has been having lots
of trouble since he struck Valentine
and he seems to feel the prospective
loss of his little girl very keenly
