THE BONDS PREVAILED
The Court House Bonds in the Sum of
Ten Thousand Dollars
WITHOUT MUCH OPPOSITION
A Small Vote Cast but There We're
Only Twenty Six Votes in
Opposition to the
Proposition.

The result of the election, Tuesday, on
the proposition to vote city bonds i'll the
sum of $40, 900 90 TO aid and assist Red
Willow county in building court house
is gratifying Although there was a
small vote cast, the result was practically
unanimous for the bonds, but 26 out of
a total of 24S votes being cast against
the proposition. 1t is gratifying as indi-
eating the determination of the people
of this city to keep their promises, and
as showing disposition on their part TO
do their utmost in assisting Red Willow
county in the building of suitable
and creditable court house, Jail and sher-
ifs residence. McCook has performed
its duty in this matter as agreed and it
now remains for the county to provide
such a sum of money, which will, in
connection with the amount voted by
this city, afford the county proper build
ings in which to transact the business of
the county.
1t is.the opinion OF THE TRIBUNE that
if the harvest is what the crop prospects
now indicate it will be, that the people
of the county will be willing to vote sut-
fcient bonds to build county buildings.
The county does not require anything
stupendous or fiorid in the line of archi-
lecture, but should have roomy, conven-
lent, substantial and well appointed
structures of reasonably attractive ap-
pearance. Perhaps $25, ,ooo. 90 would pro
vide and furnish all the necessary build
ings to fill the county's needs for the
next fifty years.

Their First Observance.

The Children's day exercises of the
Baptist Bible school held in Mcconnell
hall, Sunday evening. were attended by
a large crowd, and the event was a sue
cess in every way This is the first time
that the Baptist people have observed
this day in McCook, and taking into con-
sideration the difficulties they labor un-
der in having to use public hall for
their services they should feel COM
meudable pride in its success. Rev. E.
a. Russell, representing the Publication
society at Philadelphia, made a short
address

Horse became UnmanageabIe.

While out riding, Tuesday evening,
Elmer Benedict, clerk at the Airing
ton hotel, was quite severely injured by
the horse falling on top of him, hurting
him about the head and knee, ard using
him up generally The horse became
unmanageable and in turning the cor
ner of Main and Railroad streets, while
running at high rate of speed, fell on
its rider Elmer was rendered uncon-
scious and remained so pretty much all
night. He is getting along all right
now and will shortly be around as usual.

FOR A COUNTY EXHIBIT
An Appeal for United Effort to sd
vertise Red Willow County
4 CARLOAD OF OUR PRODUCE
Should be Exhibited at the Nebras-
ka, Iowa and Illinois State
Fairs--lt VIII Pay
Big Returns

1t IS not too early even now to begin
agicating the matter Of sending a county
exhibit to the Nebraska, Iowa and Hi
nois state fairs, and THE TRIBUNE hopes
that the people OF the county will give
the proposition the attention it deserves.
As an advertising scheme, for the ac-
complishment of missionary work. to
induce immigration, nothing exce's a
creditable agricultural display at the
great state fairs and the people Of Red
Willow county Will do well and wisely
to make use of this means of properly
setting before those seeking new homes
and cheap land the claims of this Couu-
ty. The different towns OF the county
should join in with the farmers and thus
prepare a carload of the products Of the
county, which will be a credit to the
county, and will fairly and fully advertise
its possibilities and inducements.
To bring about the best results a unit
ed county effort should be made; thus
the expense and work will be divided,
while the results will come to all parts
alike. We hope that this proposition
may at once engage the serious conside-
ration of all, and that steps may be TAX
EN- to bring about the fu1fllmeut of the
same in due season.

The Official Vote.
FIRST WARD,
Merely Coincidentai.

It is doubtless mere coincidence, but
but it is somewhat amusingly true that
some people who are not subscribers to
The McCooK TRIBUNE, and do not read
it, are among the best posted as to its
utterances, and the most perturbed there
about sometimes. It is, however, mere
ly coincidental.

How About 1t?

The question is being frequently asked,
"Will McCook celebrate the Fourth OF
July? As no action has been taken, oil
course the question remains unanswered.
Perhaps it would be just as well to de-
eide this matter, or give out the idea
that no celebration will be INDUCED in
by our CITY, this year.

Mr.. Solinsky spoke on the campaign is
sues and pointed out how it was possible
to convert unbelie7ers TO protection. Mr..
Schroeder cited an object lesson showing
how Sweden had benefited under system
that the Republicans were now trying to
get adopted. Mr.. Mayer spoke on free
