I have seen a cheap bookcase made Of
three shoe boxes, each one being third
ihorter than the other; these graduated
boxes were set one upon the other so that
the three ends came together, making a
straight side on one side and three steps on

with strips Of split bamboo, pieces Of the

The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1892-10-28

The sympathies Of the whole
people irrespective to partisan
leanings 60 out to the president in
his hour bereavement. The wife
Of his youth, the gracious lady
who took him for better or worse
when he was a struggling boy who
had hung out his single in the
then village of Indianapolis, and
had worked by his side during the
weary years that precede all pro
fessional successes, the true and
steadfast wife, the faithful and
strong mother, the helpmeet in the
genuine scriptural sense, has been
taken, and the life of the man who
has mounted SO high in the esti-
nation of his countrymen, is made
desolate in the midst of the honors
that have been conferred upon him,
and nothing can replace the loss.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Bee
recently made the statement that
many democrats in the Fifth dis
trict were deserving McKeighan
and had avowed their intention to
vote for Andrews, the republican
nominee. Certain democratic
papers dispute the statement. A
Hastings democrat in a private
letter assures the Bee that. seven
out of ten of all the democratic
voter of Hastings will support
Andrews. This is encouraging.
1t will be greatly to the credit Of
the intelligent people of the Fifth
district to know that they have
spewed McKeighan out. He
should be laid away on the politi-
cal shelf.-Bee.

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 25.-Gover-
nor Boyd, who advanced the idea
in California in August that Ne
braska democrats should vote for
populist electors and so throw the
election Of president into the house
and assure Cleveland's success,
later conferred with the national
committee and gained their ap-
proval and has sent out 10000
personal letters asking democrats
to so vote. DR.. Miller, who was a
member of the national committee,
has consulted with that body and
sent out a score of men to advise
democrats to the same effect. A
meeting to learn the feeling on
the subject of Withdrawing the
entire democratic ticket was held
last night. Leaders of the party
from all over the state were pre-
sent. The discussion was heated.
One element desired to keep all
candidates in the field to encourage
the party elsewhere. Others fav-
ored abandoning the field. It was
decided, after a stormy discussion,
to postpone the matter until a few
days before election. It is stated
that the whole ticket will be with
drawn.

association which was organized

among its members such distin-

destined to be productive Of very

states east Of the Mississippi have
already made excellent progress in
good road making and Nebraska

The repeal Of the prohibitive
tax on wild cat bank notes Is be-
ginning to be openly urged by the
democrats because they insist that
the tax is unconstitutional"
This is characteristic of the de-
mocracy. The supreme court Of
the United States has already
passed on that point, and it is safe
to say hat the supreme bench
will never be constituted as to
agree with the democratic party on
this proposition.-Journal.
