Destroyed by Fire.

The house of ill-repute, known to in
fanny as the "Maple Grove" was COM
pletely destroyed by fire, about two
O'Clock on Thursday morning. The in
mates were absent FROM the place, eating
lunch at downtown restaurant, so the
origin of the fire is mystery. The
house was insured for $500 and the fur
niture for $500. Nothing was saved, the
inmates losing their clothes and personal
effects generally. The property belonged
to L. H. Rooney, who is absent from
the city.

Our Tale OF Woe.

Tuesdays election was quiet one, and
the vote in McCook small, although
about normal throughout the county.
The total vote cast is 1894, as against
2.o37 for Mckinley electors at the last
election. OF this loss fully 100 occurred
in Mccook. The Populists have elected
county clerk, treasurer, sheriff, and su.
perintendent. The Republicans the
county judge, surveyor, coroner, and
commissioner, second district. What
promised to be complete victory was,
through the knifng of McCool by the
A. P. A., turned into almost complete
defeat. This unfortunate and disastrous
and deplorable fight dragged down other
nominees tQ defeat, and has opened anew
wounds that many have earnestly sought
to heal. The result is the amplest vindi-
cation of the position of THE TRIBUNE
as to the danger and undesirability Of
the secret order in politics. and has
opened the eyes of all Republicans to
the facts set forth by this paper in the
past. The official result. as declared by
the canvassiug board yesterday, is given
elsewhere in full tabulated form in this
issue.
And factionaiism. when it is finished,
is political death.
The bowie-knife will now be shifted to
the other bootleg.
Henry Crabtree will feel quite at home
in the Office of commissioner.
George S. Bishop ran like prairie
fire, and he feels finer than silk over his
victory.
1t was quiet day and the vote cast in
McCook was over hundred less than it
was last year.
Every year brings out new elements;
and the G. o. P. gets it where the chick
en- got the ak, just the same.
For the first time in number of years
the Republicans will have majority on
the board of county commissioners.
The National Democrats sustained a
very heavy loss-full one-third of their
strength At the last election they cast
three votes, and on Tuesday only two
votes.
The manner in which the A. P. A.
knitted McCool was thorough and not in
artistic; but il was q costly job the Re
publican party will be paying for in
years to come. Yet there are valuable
lessons to be learned and profited by.
Honest John Neel is the only Populist
that has ever carried McCook. Which
reminds us of an epitaph:
"Here lies Mary Ann
Pillowed on Abraham's bosom;
It's mighty nice for Mary Ann,
But rather hard on Abraham"
By little paraphrasing the misfortune
to the Republican party may in meas
ure be appreciated. For. that beau
tiful shade of pink and white harmony,
referred to at the beginning of the cam
paign, has assumed deep carmine hue.
It's nice for John, but merry hades for
the G. o. p.

PASSING Of A SPAN|ARD
THE OLDEST MAN IN THE WORLD
is DEAD.
A Century and Half Spanned-IIad
Documents to Prove His Story
Reached Mexico Many Years Ago.

GUADALAJARA, Mexico, March c.
The Oldest man in the world is dead.
He was Jesus Campeche, and his age
was 155 years. At least, he had in
sisted repeatedly that he had been
born a century and half ago, and
exhibited in proof of his assertion pa
pers which he claimed were true
copies of the church register in Valla-
his birth as December IL, 1742.
Jesus has seen many dynasties rise
and fall. He had grown to manhood
when the liberty bell in Independence
Hall at Philadelphia rang out the It'd
ings to all the world that the Ameri-
can colonies'had proclaimed their free
dom, and he has lived until these col
onies have grown into one of the
greatest nations on the globe. He was
two score and ten when the revolution
swept over France, and an old man
when Napoleon fell from his lofty ped
estal of the conqueror of Europe.
Jesus lived here with his great-great
grandson. The latter there was no
doubt as to his relationship to Cam
peche. Jesus told of many incidents
which occurred in the last century
which indicated that he had partici-
pated in them or had a marvellous
memory to retain stories that were
told him. Campeche said he came to
Mexico when he was twenty-four years
old and that was 131 years ago. An
old priest, eighty-four years old, who
officiates in the church which he at
tended, says he was choir boy in
the church and remembers him then
as being very old.

Prince bismarck at Home.

1t is impossible ever to have been within
the Bismarck family circle without seeing
proofs that the Iron Chancellor is not all
of iron. l have seen him with his own
children-now all men and women-and
with other children. His affection for his
own needs no testimony. He his always
shown 1t. His affection and pride in his
eldest son and successor, Count Herbert,
are alike part of his nature l have seen
Prince Bismarck also with troops of chill
dren who came to Friedriohsruh to visit
him. His manner to them was charming,
his outstretched hand upon the heads Of
those nearest to him, the kindly caress,
the sympathetic greeting-these are all so
many traits of personal character and of a
true gentleness of nature which the out
side world, thinking only of his life of
storm and stress, might not expect to find.
But there they are.-George w. Smalley
In Ladies' Home journal.

Early Rising.

One of the most eminent specialists in
insanity in the world has been declaring
that early rising is the most prolific cause
of insanity: "a peremptory command to
get up when ones sleep is as yet unfinished
is a command which grinds the SOUL cur
dies the blood, swells the spleen, destroys
all good intehtions and disturbs for the en-
tire day the mental activities of boy, just
as the tornado disturbs and levels with adj
vancing ruin a forest of mighty pines.
To the habit of too early rising on the
part of young men, we may" he adds,
"justly ascribe many cases of early insan-
Ity, of melancholia and of abject dementia.
The early morning hours, when everything
Is still, are peculiarly fitted for sleep, and
it is a gross violation of all the laws of ma
ture to tear human brains out of the sound
rest they enjoy at this time"
