We must ind space for q reference 10 Mrs.
Siddons and for an anecdote about the Duke
OF wellington. The alluslon to the great ac-
tress occurs In letter to Joanna Bsillie, writ
ten In April. 1919: Il hear rumor that Mrs.
Slddons means to be solicited out on the stage
again. Surely che IL not such an absolute jack
ass; she might return with as much credit n

Mrs Siddons's intellect. that we might discover
in what her unrivalled art consisted, she has
not much sense, and still less sound taste, no
reading but in her profession. and with . view
to the boards, and. on the whole, has always
seemed to me vain. foolish woman, spoiled
land no wonder) By unbounded adulation to q
degree that deserved praise tasted faint on
her palate" Replying to this criticism.
Joanna Baillle suggests that Scott Is too hard
on Mrs. Siddona Her manner is too solemn
and her voice too deep for familiar society. and
having her mind little stored except with what
is connected with her profession. and thinking.
at the same time. that every one who spoke to
her expected to hear her mouth utter some
striking thing, she uttered many things not
very well suited to the occasion. but think
she has a mind which has been occupied in OBJ
serving what passed within itself, and has,
therefore. drawn her acting from . deeper
source than actors generally do. besides her
native talent for expressing emotions; and
think she has quick perception OF humor and
character In others at least she tells humor-
Gus anecdote. notwithstanding her deep-toned
voice. very drolly."
The story about the Duke Of wellington IL
recounted by Scott In 9 letter to his son Walter
under date Of August, 1920. Respecting Sir
David Baird. besides being always q man OF
courage himself and q successful General, Il
should never be forgotten that the army.

Robbers Abroad.

On Monday night the stores of w. c.
LaTourette and M E. Knipple were brok-
en- into and a quanty of money and goods
stolen. At LaTourette's they forced open
two doors and broke two panes Of glass
before making their entrance from the
rear. Here they secured money, revolv-
ers, ETC., to the value of about $50.
At Knipple's the burglars were less
successful. Entrance was forced through
a rear window. Fortunately there were
but a few cents in the money drawer,
which was badly damaged, After taking
a hand full of cigars the marauders de-
parted.
At Latourette's the thieves did MOI
even exercise the ~precaution to turn off
the electric light, but boldly operated in
the light.
1t is hoped that the perpetrators may
be brought to justice and b%efttingly
punished for such work.

Bible School Notes.

Something like fifty dollars worth of
"Oxford Bibles" were disposed Of to
scholars and others, Sunday. We can
supply any kind of Oxford Bible TO any
person on easy payments. For full in
formation ask the superintendent.
Did you hear the new Constitution Of
the school Sunday? 1t was something
of a departure i'll this work. But that's
what the whole school is, a departure
from old worn out methods. A some
thing i'll keeping with the need Of the
times. You wont find us travelling in
ruts.
The officers for the following year will
be: {. I. Watson, supt. Russell Nc
Millen, asst supt. and librarian; Miss
Mamie Chaplin, sec'y. Executive com
mittee composed Of Pastor Mcbride, the
Supt., Asst Supt., and Secretary, and
the following teachers: Mrs. Robinson,
Mrs. ROUGH and G. f. Thompson.
Next Sunday the matter of organizing
a Teachers Normal Glass, will be
taken up. We trust that everyone con-
nected with the school, who desire to
prepare themselves for usefulness in the
Vineyard, will be present. The object
of the class is to make teachers, not BY
record, but teachers in fact. A great
many teachers think that after they
have talked to their class for half an
hour they have taught the lesson; there
is a distinction between teaching and
preaching, which needs to be recogniz-
ed. All text books needed will be
furnished free by the school.

The Democrats Of Red Willow county
met in the city hall, last Saturday after
noon, pursuant to call. 7. G. Rees pre-
sided over the deliberations of the con-
v%ention. A. A. Hickman served in the
capacity ofsecretary. Ofthe 54 delegates
entitled to seats in convention there
were as present.
The following delegates and alternates
to the Democratic state convention at
Lincoln, October 4th, were elected:
DELEGATES. ALTERNATES.
F. H. SPEARMAN. THOMAS DUNCAN,
J. A. CORDIAL. J. F. FORBES.
A. ]. CUTE. B. V. HALEY.
A committee on resolutions was selec-
ted, being composed of F. H. Spearman,
J. F. Kenyon and V. Sells. They pre-
sented the following resolution which
was adopted by the convention:
RESOLVED, That the Democracy of
Red Willow county, in convention
assembled, heartily endorse the National
Democratic platform of 1892, and hereby
express their confidence in the admins
tration of Grover Cleveland. We furth-
er request our delegates to the state con-
~vention to use all honorable means to
secure the nomination of w. G.. Hast
ings for justice of the supreme court OF
Nebraska.
A motion was carried by a vote of IS
to 9 endorsing the entire populist ticket.
After which the convention adjourned
amid considerable excitement.
AFTERMATH.
We do not break any confidence when
we state that Colonel James Harris feels
the full weight of the heavy response
bility that rests upon him as about the
only Simon-pure bourbon in the county
of Red Willow.
The endorsement ofthe populist ticket
was a great surprise to most and was
doubtless the sequel to the bitterly con-
tested primary election of the previous
afternoon.
The Spearman wing of the Democracy
is again triumphant. But it came high.
1t came high.
The Democrats seem to be greatly at
tached to "home rule" even in McCook.
There was talk of holding another con
vention, but it did not materialize.
There is still some doubt in the Demo
crat mind ::where they are at"

Shippers-Attention.

Resolved by the South Omaha Pack
ers as follows:
Whereas, The Secretary of agriculture
has ordered a special inspection of hogs
intended for slaughter, to commence
Monday, October 2, 1898, and in order
to assist in carrying ont the regulations
governing such inspection, dated Wash
ington, September IS, 1898,
Resolved, That the undersigned refuse
to accept any hogs suspected by us of
being in a condition or of having any
disease or injury causing an elevation of
temperature, or affecting the system of
the animal, unless the seller causes such
suspected hogs to pass government in
spection as fit for human food.
THE CUDAHY PACKING COMPANY,
Michael Cudahy, President.
OMAHA PACKING COMPANY,
T. w. Taliaferro, Manager.
THE G. H. HAMMOND COMPANY,
A. H. Noyes, Superintendent.
This includes piggy sows, crippled
hogs which show an abnormal temper
ature, hogs that show signs of disease,
in fact anything but good straight hogs.
This order is general and applies to all
packing points and all packers else
where have taken the same stand as the
Omaha packers, SO that shippers should
hold all stock in the country that for
any reason is likely to be condemned
until some provision has been made for
their disposition, and in the future pay
careful attention when purchasing hogs
in the country.

The Democratic Primary.

One Of the most hotly contested polit-
ical battles waged i'll McCook in many
moons was the Democratic primary
election held On last Friday afternoon.
The result was a decisive victory for the
Spearman wing. The vote cast i'll Will
low Grove precinct alone was almost as
large as that polled by the entire county
at the last general election, indicating
that quite a considerable interest out
side of the Democratic fold was at work
in the primary.

The special opening of fall and winter
millinery at the Bazaar millinery store
on Tuesday attracted a large attendance
of the ladies of McCook and vicinity to
that popular establishment. Miss Fur
bush has made a special effort, this sea-
son, to present the latest and most fash
ionable and stylish novelties in her line,
and her opening occasion disclosed how
successful has been the effort, as her
skill and taste and genius were every
where evident in the decorations of the
Bazaar and in the large and well selected
stock of millinery exhibited.
