liberty for several months James

TO assist Dist.-Atty. Parkhill in the

some trouble IN locating her, but Il
nally found her in Chicago.

Is He CRAZY?
Queer Conduct OF Prisoner Now on
Trial.

Ashland, Wis, July 2.-The alleged
murderer, French, is very demonstra-
tive during the progress Of his trial
When his former servant girl took
the stand against him there Was,,.a
scene in court. Upon some remark
Of the attorneys French jumped up
and it took d bailiff and deputy sheriff
to Subdue him. Insanity experts have
been on the stand. In answer to u
question DR.. McCorn admitted that
AN expert is very likely to be obliged
to testify against his convictions, sim
answer the questions put to him. In
the Guiteau trial, for instance" he
said, 'one of my associates in the in
stitution with which | was connected
in New York city, testified for the
government against his conviction sim
Hypothetical questions as they were
put to him. Guiteau was insane. The
examination of the brain showed that
after he was dead"
A day has not passed during the
present trial when French has not
broken in on the proceedings several
times. His revolver with three empty
cartridges and two loaded ones has
been placed in evidence. The bullets
from the empty cartridges were, it is
said, those that were fired by French
into Gavin Steers body. French arose
in court once in spite of the protests
of his attorney and demanded the re
volver, reading from the law that trial
or conviction does not deprive man
of his property.

OPINION OF PARKHURST.
Richard Corker Calls Him d Religious
Coxey.

Killarney, Ireland, June 2S.-Rich-
ard Croker has been interviewed. He
says: 'Parkhurst is a sort of religi-
Gus Coxey. He's so in love with his
own goodness that he wants to be the
only one of his kind in New York. He
has been decorating me with vulgar
and Incorporate abuse since the craze
took him. It would take the strongest
dynamo that Edison ever got up to re-
move the beam from Parkhurst's eye.
Parkhurst is Dragging that he drove
me out of Tammany and there's. a
pretty fight between him and The
World as to which did it. Some of the
American papers carry things too far.
No paper in Great Britain would dare
publish what they do"

BERRY SHIPPERS.
The Strike Hits Them Very Hard
Thousands Of Dollars Loss.

Black River Falls, Wis, July 2.-The
strike is having a serious effect on the
berry shippers at this point as the ex-
press company refuses to accept any
thing in the way of perishable goods
unless charges are prepaid and sub
iect to all delays. The result will be
many thousand dollars damage to
this locality, as the berry crop is now
reaching the highest point and tons are
ripening daily which will be a total
loss unless traffic is resumed on the
old basis. Shippers will not send sub
iect to delay.

ended here at o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon by an order from the Chicago
headquarters OF the a. r. T. to per-
nit all trains to 60 until further or
ders. 1t develOpes that the hold UPS
have been voluntary Oh the part OF
members of the local union and that
no order was ever issued
The men are crestfallen at the turn
OF affairs, but submit gracefully to the
order to cease hostilities. 1t appears
that when the strikers arrested here
arrived at indianapolis this morning
they found that Governor Matthews
had the militia in readiness to send
here at a moments notice This led
to the order to cease hostilities.
A special train is expected to arrive

John Etter Passes Away.

At an early hour on Tuesday morning
the sudden of death came to
Mr.. John Etter, and his spirit joined the
innumerable host in the spirit land. The
deceased had long been a patient sufferer
and though the luminous came suddenly
it was not unexpected to the members of
the family. The departed was in his
6oth year. His genial presence will be
missed from the Commercial House. The
funeral services were conducted in the
private by Rev. Frank Durant in the pri-
vate apartments ofthe family in the hotel
on Thursday afternoon. Alarge company
of sympathizing friends followed the re-
mains to their last resting place in Long
view cemetery. The bereaved wife and
family have the sincere sympathy of all
in the sorrow that has come upon them.

Taxpayers. Awake.

The taxpayers-of the city of McCook
should take an active and concerted in
terest in the coming spring election. In
the issue are involved a number of things
that should interest all thoughtful men,
especially t~axpaying citizens. Firstly,
the salaries paid are too high by half. In
fact in view of the onerous taxes now
levied in this city the salaries should be
merely nominal. There are cities in this
state in which the mayor and councilmen
donate their services, and there ought to
be men enough in this city to do as well.
At any rate the salaries must be reduced
at least one-half. Secondly, all the
money received from saloon licenses and
from fines Of every sort should 60 where
the law Of this state says they must go
into the public school treasury. The
schools need this money. The money
belongs to the schools, and it is an I'M
lawful evasion to divert the revenue or
any portion of it to other purposes. The
fC1S SLOdAd h1dh IhNh PoSA
duty to see that this money finds its way
to the lawful source. Thirdly, men should
be chosen who will restrain at least the
gambling and social evils, impartially and
legally, to the end that the fines may be
imposed and collected and applied with
due respect to law. That special privil-
eyes be given to none-nor in%dulgences
sold. That the back door Sunday liquor
traffic be stopped; and other reasonable,
seemly and liberal reforms be instituted,
and the fair name of our city be rescued
so far as possible from the shame into
which it has fallen. Reputable citizens
of all creeds and conditions should rally
to the support of an administration that
will bring about a better condition of
things for our city, which is just now
suffering from too much Crokerism.
The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1894-02-16

1t seems to THE TRIBUNE that the
idea of the purchase of a high-priced
grader by the city authorities at this time
particularly is a piece of preposterous ex-
t~ravagance. No doubt but that the grader
is a thoroughly good machine, but this
city cannot afford to put a thousand dol
lars into a grader, which in all human
probabilities would stand idle more than
eleven months of the year. Such work as
this city has the money to do on her
streets and the roads leading into the
CITY can be done by the implements she
now has at command. The money that
such a machine would cost al certainly
be expended to better advantage on the
streets and roads. The city authorities
should consider the matter earnestly and
carefully before entering into a contract
for the purchase of an expensive grader
for which they have little or no use. The
burdens now borne by the taxpayers are
crushing. Why needlessly add more?

They are interested in irrigation as fat
east as Kearney. Chairman Deets of the
Buffalo County Irrigation society reports
that many farmers there will irrigate on
a small scale, the coming year. and that
a great deal of experimental work in that
line will be done. The question has be-
come the subject of debate in the rural
literary societies of that county, and the
matter is being earnestly agitated by all
It is admitted by none that Buffalo coun.

in a year Of abundant rainfall the yield

iously irrigating the fields.

Really, it's the unexpected thing that
happens. For instance, Colonel Mitchell
of the Indiano1a Courier stated in last
weeks issue of that indispensable home
comfort that Attorney Smith laid an
egg on our table" Now THE TRIBUNE
has always regarded Sam as an all-around
fellow; but when it comes to laying an
egg 6A by III inches in dimensions right
on Colonel Mitchell's sanctum table, too,
among the Colonel's leaders and ethics,
well, it's a mite difficult to imagine
that Sam would or could do such an I'M
dignifed thing. But if Colonel Mitchell
insists upon the soft impeachment, why
it goes. Is it a hen on the Colonel or on
the Attorney?
The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1894-02-16

Well, excuse our smiles. But we really
had no idea that there are so many fish
in McCook that can be caught without
hooks-only bait. The information crept
into these headquarters, this morning,
that a patent medicine fakir and a mas
ter of slight-of-hand pulled a hundred
dollars out of the willing pockets of our
people, last night, through one of the
gauziest tricks known for catching the
%wide-open mouthed suckers. Dearly be-
loved travellers through this vale of tears
has 1t not again and once more been told
you not to buck against the other fellows
game. So why will you bite so hungrily
every time the opportunity is afforded?
