NEWSPAPERS: THE STATE HERALD, Holyoke, Phillips, Colorado: 3 Oct 1890, Vol IV - No 8 http://files.usgwarchives.net/co/phillips/newspapers/sthld1890/90oct03.txt Donated by: Vicki Conklin 2 Aug 2006 ====================================================================== STATE HERALD, Holyoke, Phillips, Colorado J.H. PAINTER Editor & Publisher 3 Oct 1890, Friday, Vol. IV - No. 8 Page One LOCAL LORE It is our purpose to note the arrival and departure of all guests to our city, and request those who have visitors to inform us of the fact. Local news items are always thankfully received. A.A. Temple started Saturday on a prospecting trip to Idaho. Advertise in the HERALD if you expect to do a rushing business. Dr. L.W. Waite is having some improvements made on his dwelling. L. Tinkle came home Tuesday from an absence of several weeks in Nebraska. Last week, A.J. Baker shipped 562 chickens, 450 dozen eggs and 720 lbs. of butter. Miss Rosa Gilgen went to Alliance, Nebraska last week to make a short visit with friends. Mr. and Mrs. Dave Magner are now at home to their friends at their residence on south hill. Mrs. Dr. Barr, of Yuma, has been in Holyoke this week on a visit to her son, Professor H.W. Barr. At the republican state convention, W.C. Robinson was selected as member of the state central committee for Phillips County. J.H. Daggy and A.T. Guthrie returned the first of the week from York, Nebraska where they had been spending a couple of weeks. Mrs. W.C. Britton and children left Friday for their new home at Lincoln, Nebraska, where W.C. has purchased a stock of groceries. We have received a complimentary ticket to the Colorado State Fair at Pueblo from October 2nd to 8th. This will be the best State Fair ever held in Colorado. The independent ticket for precinct 2 is P.B. Reynolds and Fred C. Churning for justice of the peace, A. Carson constable, and R.S. Stout road overseer. H.J. Porter has accepted a position with the Iowa Building & Loan Association, of Des Moines, and he took a trip to Denver this week in the interest of the Association. We acknowledge receipt of a press ticket to the fall meeting of the Overland Park Club, of Denver, Colorado. The meeting will continue from October 4th to 11th inclusive. The delegates to the senatorial convention at Fort Morgan reelected W.C. Robinson as chairman of the committee. C.B. Timberlake was selected as committeeman from Phillips County. Two or three parties who had final proof notices in the Tribune will be considerably discommoded by the stopping of that paper, but as we are informed, Mr. Porter had no lease on the paper and, of course, when it was sold, could not do otherwise than stop the publication of the paper. W.N. Jordon has sold the Holyoke Tribune plant to G.J. Richmond, of Venango, Nebraska. Mr. Richmond moved the plant to Minden, Nebraska, where he will run “The Workman” as an alliance and union labor paper. This leaves Holyoke with the two pioneer papers, the NEWS and the STATE HERALD. Williams, of the NEWS, claims that a candidate for office cannot consistently accept the support of two parties and yet, he places on the democratic ticket at the head of his columns, the name of George W. Currier, the alliance nominee for representative, and is very particular to also deny the report that Mr. Currier has declined the nomination at the hands of the alliance. Mr. John Eigenberg with daughters, Minnie and Hannah, of Golden, Illinois, arrived in Holyoke Thursday morning, on a visit to Mr. and Mrs. A.H. Boden. Williams, of the NEWS, in a recent issue, referred to what he was pleased to call the republican “court house ring.” Before Bro. Williams has very much more to say about the “court house ring,” he had better count the democrats among the court house officials. With a democratic judge, sheriff, assessor and three democratic commissioners, the cry of “republican court house ring” does not come with very good grace from a democratic newspaper. On the morning after the Wyoming election Williams, of the NEWS, was seen rushing up and down the streets swinging his hat high in the air and cheering for the democrats of Wyoming. When asked what was the trouble, he replied with a shout, “the democrats have carried Wyoming.” Do not crow till you are out of the woods. Very likely Bro. Williams has satisfied himself by this time that his violent demonstration on the street was purely a waste of physical energy. The county commissioners of Phillips County went to Sterling Tuesday, and completed the settlement with Logan County. The settlement leaves Phillips County indebted to Logan in the sum of $1,742. The exact figures upon which the Logan County commissioners would have been willing to settle before the joint examination of the books and accounts was made, is not known, but it is thought that between $1,000 and $2,000 have been saved Phillips County by the manner in which the settlement was made. W.C. Robinson, deputy clerk, was sent to Sterling with instructions to examine the books and accounts of Logan County with Mr. Hayes, one of Logan County commissioners, and the settlement was made upon the result of their findings, so there can be no grounds for dispute over the settlement. This communication appeared in the last issue of the NEWS. “Mr. Ed. NEWS: I wish, through your paper, to ask, is it honorable and right for members of the farmer’s alliance avowing themselves as not “affiliating with the alliance,” and acting as delegates in one or both old parties, to be allowed to retain membership in the alliance ranks while aiming to defeat its nominees? - A lover of fair play.” The answer to this inquiry depends upon the nature of the obligations taken by a man on becoming a member of the alliance. We do not profess to know the nature of these obligations but it has often been publicly announced by members of the alliance that it was not a political organization and that its members were left perfectly free in their choice of political party affiliations. If this is correct, we can see no good reason for “a lover of fair play” to raise objection to any member of the alliance working with any political party that he may choose to work with. In time past, the Phillips County News has advocated the election of men to the county and precinct offices on their merit, regardless of party affiliations, but that was simply because he knew the democrats were in the minority and he hoped that by such a course of action a democrat might now and then slip into office. Now, when the republicans have seen fit to endorse M.D. Copp, the alliance candidate for commissioner, which assures his election beyond all doubt, Bro. Williams changes his tune and wished to draw the party lines to the very scratch. He says that Mr. Copp cannot consistently accept the support of both parties and asks him how he stands on the tariff question, the national banking system, the silver question and a number of other national issues, with which, a commissioner of Phillips County will have no more to do than Williams has to do with the government of Russia. “Consistency, thou art a jewel.” M.D. Copp will be elected and just such unreasonable attacks as this of Williams’ will serve to increase his majority. Proceedings of the Board of Commissioners at a meeting held September 2, 1890. All the members of the board were present. W.P. Walker was appointed Judge of election in precinct No. 1 and George Jarvis in precinct No. 5. The following claims were allowed. John Morrow caring for pauper $1.50 J.W. Whitham county supplies $4.00 M.W. Yaple labor $4.10 Judge Glynn county court costs $23.17 W.C. Robinson work on settlement between Phillips and Logan counties $95.20 John C. Elder service as commissioner $12.00 M. Francis service as commissioner $5.00 Theo Chalberg service as commissioner $9.50 Charles E. McPherson service as clerk $82.75 I.W. White and F.M. Smith surgical and medical services rendered pauper $55.00 Robert White was employed as janitor of court house at $10 per month. Claim of A.A. Temple for $124.15 sheriff’s fees in case of State vs Camp was laid over for investigation. The following places were selected as polling places in the several precincts at the general election to be held November 4, 1890. Precinct 1 north, Amherst Precinct 2 south, Bucks school house Precinct 3, Office of G.R. Ellis, Holyoke Precinct 4, School house Haxtun Precinct 5, School house ne¼ sec 11 T 5N R 47W Precinct 6, Adland’s store sec 33 T 7N R 45W The county treasurer was instructed to correspond with different printing companies for prices on printing tax receipts and to accept the lowest offer. GLEANINGS FROM 6-44 Everything quiet in this valley. Messrs. Borland and Cauble, from the east are visiting their children in this vicinity. H.G. Logan and family, of Grant, have been spending a few days with the family of P.B. Reynolds. Alphabetical Hazen is on the sick list, and unable to do his share in disposing of neighborhood dainties. Word has been received that John Brummer is quite sick in Denver. He held a good position there. Mrs. Jeffrie is convalescent after a long siege with the fever. August Funland is building sheds preparatory to buying a number of sheep. Dr. Gibson writes friends here that he is having a splendid practice at Sterling, and will remain several weeks yet. Rev. Bailey attended our picnic, and gave us a well-timed speech replete with encouragement to “fight it out on this line.” J.H. Daggy returned from York County, Nebraska, Sabbath morning. He reports poor crops, and much destitution among renters and others and thinks Phillips County people much better off even this year than many he met there. We learn that Perkins County is agitating irrigation, and fusion with Sedgwick County in running ditches from the Platte is probable. Why may not Phillips County keep up with the procession in this direction? The picnic at Fairview was a success, and was attended by nearly fifty people, who were photographed by Powers in a group in front of the school house, as was also the interior of the building when the table was spread. No one would suspect “short crops” from the appearance of the later, nor that Rev. Bailey, Smith Worley, and some of the ladies were not contrabands right from the sunny south. A series of neighborhood festivities culminated last Monday evening at the pleasant home of Mrs. Slater where a large company of neighbors had gathered to give a parting sendoff to this estimable lady, who has rented her farm, and will remove to Holyoke this week. The time was pleasantly spent in social chat, music, games, and the discussion of an elegant picnic supper until the midnight hour, when the party separated to their homes with the best of wishes for their hospitable hostess and genial friend. - L.M.R.
