Anniversary Services.
Tlie Anniversary Services at the Lutheran
church , last Sunday , were well attended. The
pastor , Kev. Kimmel , gave the following
statistics in his review of tho three year's
work as General Missionary pastor , in the
J
Republican Valley , including all lines of the
B. & M. railroad soutli of Platte river and
west of Hastings : Number ot sermons first
year , 160 in 19 different towns. The second
year , 175 in 22 different towns. Third year ,
216 in 16 towns. Miles traveled in his work :
First year , 12,400. Second year , 12,000 , and
the past year , 21,450. Organized seven con
gregations : Franklin , Bloomington and Mc
Cook. Neb. , Long Island , Oberlin and Nor-
catur , Kas. , and Akron , Colo. And built a
church at each place , except the last. The
six churches cost § 10,500 , and have an indebt
edness of 54,500 , leaving a net gain as money
raised on the field , of S12.000. He bought and
paid for lots for the use of tho church in the
\
future , at Alma , Republican City , Indianola ,
Minden , Cambridge , and Holdrege , Neb. ,
valued at 81,500. Total net gain of property
in three years , S13.500. Collected for home
J
and foreign missons , S166.70and received on
pastor's salary S500.00. He raised tho money
and superintended the building of all the
churches , and did all the preaching and pasn
toral ' work , and added 179 members. He
preaches now regularly every Sunday at Mc
Cook and every two weeks , on week-day
evenings , at Franklin , Bloomington , Oxford
and Grant , Nebraska , and Long Island , Kan-
sas. Every four weeks at Akron , Hyde and
Holyoke , Colorado , and occasionally at Min
den , Holdrege , Riverton , Curtis and Madrid ,
J
Nebraska. He thanked the people of Mc
Cook for liberality extended. The member
ship of the church at McCook has grown to
35 and their financial condition is excellent.
At the close of the services , the congregation
by unanimous vote requested that the present
relations continue , and pledged their hearty
support. Though his family will go to Colo
rado , to give Mrs. Kimmel a much needed
I
and well deserved rest , the pastor will con-
tinue ' his work as before. The pastor was
elected superintendent of the Sunday School ,
which will meet every Sunday at 9:39 : , M. T.
A. C. Ebert was elected treasurer. Geo. Le-
Hew , secretary , Miss Dora LeHew , chorister ,
and ; Miss Minnie Pade , librarian. A cordial
invitation is extended all to be present at all
g
the services. The pastor may be called at
any ! time for funeral or other service , by re-
quest to A. C. Ebert at Citizen's Bank.
My Night Experience in Search of a
Doctor in McCook.
Editor Tribune : As much comment is
being made on a circumstance in which I am
somewhat interested , I take the liberty of
presenting the following facts to your read-
ers :
A neighbor , A. C. Nettleton , sent me for
doctor , in a case where two lives were at
stake. Like the most of us , he had his pref
erence andl went to that one and was given
the excuse of other professional duties , an
other gave the same excuse , while a third
must stay at home with his children as they
were alone. Another could not attend on ac-
count of a disabled hand as is well known.
was told that Dr. Hall would soon be at
home at the Commercial Hotel where I soon
\
found him ; but he did not know A. C. Net-
tleton. Reference was made to tho "black
I
list , " but the name was not there ; still he
was not satisfied , but must be sure of his pay ,
so 1 told him I would give him my note for
the amount , § 12.50. I had to provide convey *
ance for him both ways ; but I was also un
known to him , but finally he said if I wouldm
get some one that heknew to also sign the
note he would go. Frank P. Allen who
came to the hotel with his bus , and to whom
was almost a stranger , kindly signed the
note thus placing me under great obligations
to him. It seems hard , to say the least , that
man must see his wife and children lie and
suffer , while the messenger is going around
town at midnight to waken some one to sign
notes with him ; or if he be a stranger , see
liim return without the looked for doctor ,
instances like the above are no blot on the
-
noble profession he represents , but is only an-
sther phase of "man's inhumanity to man , "
found the world over , causing misery and
m
suffering , filling prisons and poor-housesand -
illing hell brimful and running over.
