? here may be something in that , as it
urely isn't called "she" on account of

r because it takes two men to run
lere. Under some circumstances it
may be all right to call an engine "she , "
> ut if you say "cow catch-her" to most
women they would jump easily over a
ence that under ordinary circumstances
hey would have to be lifted over.

vention. He concludes an exhaustive

owing : "The delegates then received
n invitation to a banquet prepared by
he Women's Relief Corps of McCook ,
which they speedily accepted , and re-
mired to the Meeker block , where long
ables were loaded with the delicacies
f the season , which they heartily par-
ook of while attended by the enter-
irising McCook ladies. Thus ended
he first irrigation convention of Ne-

tfcCook for making it such a pleasant
ne. "

THEIR SECOND ANNUAL
It Was a Splendid Affair
Throughout.
The second annual bull and banquet
of Harvey Division No. 95 , Order o ;
Railway Conductors , of our nity , has
passed into local history , and as a faith
ful recorder of such happenings THE
TRIBUNE has thegratiQcution of stating
that among the numerous affairs of this
nature which have added zest to Mc-
Cook's social life in years agone , none
were more replete with the charming
elements of success , none passed off ,
from the opening grand march to closing
home , sweet home waltz , with greater
eclac.
The attendance exceeded the comfort
capacity of the opera house , our people
turning out en masse and together with
visiting friends from Hastings , Hoi-
drege , Red Cloud , Akron and other
points forming a gay and brilliant party ,
as the Queen City is noted for.
he hall decorations were appropriate
and patriotic , the national colors in
bunting , banner mottoes , colored lan
terns , etc. , making the scene inviting
upon which the subdued rays of sundry
icadlights fell with mellow richness.
he music by Prof. Reizenstein's or
chestra of six pieces was an inspiring
feature , keeping the many participants
n joyous movement until the wee morn
ing hours , and Morpheus' wooings were
strong.
It need only be related that the ban
quet was spread in the commodious hall
of the B. & M. Eating House to direct-
y and clearly convey to the reader the
mpression that the feast was up in the
vicinity of "G , " which is the distinct
'eeling each merry banqueter carried
away from the festive board.
There was quite a noticeable richness
n attire ; while the display of flowers
was something elaborate and beautiful ,
[ n fine it was a highly creditable affair
Kick to which the order may look with
satisfaction large and genuine.
Tuesday morning was the coldest of
the winter , averaging from 10 ° to 15 °
> elow zero , according to the ther
mometer and its location.
The new aldermen- W. C. La-
Pourette and Joseph Menard , who are
illing vacancies made by resignations
of J. C. Allen and R. B. Archibald.
The old settler who was so fearful
hat Old Winter would not put in an
appearance this season has not been
thawed out of the last snowbank yet.
When times are dullest and money
carcest is the very time that a commu
nity should cling the more closely to
gether and work the harder to sur
mount difficulties.
A new drop curtain is being painted
for the Menard by Carl Termohlen.
It will be finished in season for the
Merry Minstrels. It is hinted that
Carl is exceeding himself in this effort.
WEDDED In St. Joseph , Mo. , on
Monday , February 2nd , 1891 , by the

gratulations.
Commissioner Belles is a practical
champion of irrigation. He has twenty
acres under water from a ditch taken
out of the Willow , and he expects to
increase the acreage to be irrigated to
double its present amount.
Don't fail to be on hand , Saturday
evening at Meeker hall , with your
pound of groceries or provisions. There
will be amusement for all , and your
donation will go to make some worthy
unfortunate glad in a substantial way.
This week , C. H. Boyle changed his
office quarters to the Meeker building.
He occupies the room lately vacated by
Judge LeHew. Making the land busi
ness a specialty , this change places him
more convenient to the land office , and
gives him very cosy quarters as well.
And still they come. Another league
to be formed called the Western Ne
braska State league , to include the fol
lowing places : Wallace ; McCook , North
Platte , Holdrege , Cozard , Culbertson ,
Broken Bow and Madrid. Wallace has
already secured a full team and her
people propose to have the best team in
the league. Omaha Bee.

"Get a Move on You. "
THE TRIBUNE wants to concentrate
the irrigation thought and action of this
community on the South Side ditch.
Here are most of the favorable attend
ant circumstances. Here is the best
opportunity to demonstrate the practi
cability of irrigation. The contempla
ted ditch is short , and the enterprise is
therefor within the reach of local capi
tal and energy. The cost of construc
tion and maintenance is at the mini
um ; while the maximum results in
the amount of land to be covered etc. ,
are to be expected. The country is all
rihutary to McCook and she will be a
arge beneficiary in the event of the
ditch coming into operation. The scheme
commends itself as offering glittering
results to McCook ; and we earnestly
lope to see her means and vim crystal-
ize on the South Side ditch. Larger
enterprises will come in due time. But
'or the present , for the coming season ,
this is the most reasonable and most
attractive thing in sight. In the terse ,
) ut expressive lingo of the street , "Get
a Move on You. "
Pound Party.
The ladies of the McCook Benevo-
ent Society have arranged for a Pound
Party to be given in Meeker hall , Sat
urday ( to-morrow ) evening , for the ben
efit of the needy of the city and vicinity.
All are urged to come and to bring a
) ound of groceries or provisions along.
Amusements will be provided by the
society for all. It is to be hoped that
the attendance and donations will be
generous , to the end that the society
may have a goodly supply of edibles
or distribution among the poor here
abouts.

MRS. J. D. ffOBB DEAD.
This community will be pro
foundly and inexpressibly shocked
to learn of the sudden death of
Mrs. J. D. jRobb , which occurred
at the noon hour today , after an
llness of but a few days , with peri-
: onitis. The more so because the
'act of her illness even , much less
its serio'us nature , was known to
) ut few in the city.
The death of his wife falls with
Brushing force upon her fond
msband , and every sympathetic
leart in the city goes out to him ,
and to the relatives and many
Iriends of the departed one , in
; his hour when the hand of afflic-
ion bears so heavily upon them.
$500,000.00.
Touching this aid question concern-
ng which so much has been written
ind spoken , it is the opinion of many
3f these on the ground , and who are
'ully advised on the problem and its
workings , that the state should con-
ine its aid to the drouth suffere rs in
'urnishing seed and feed , 'lo give re-
ief in this direction alone will take a
lalf million dollars.

We have moved our stock of jewelry ,
