THIRTEENTH YEAR. McCOUK , RED WILLOW COUNTY , NEBRASKA , FRIDAY EVENING , DEC. 14 , 1894. NUMBER 30.
;
Y
A Swell Social Affair.
Mrs. W. C. LaTourette entertained a
xarge company of her lady friends in the
Temple hall , last Saturday evening , in a
thoroughly clever and felicitous fashion.
The guests were invited for six o'clock ,
.and shortly after the hour appointed
t nearly one hundred ladies had assembled
in the capacious and comfortable hall ,
which then presented an appearance o f
quite unparalleled brilliancy and gayety.
Refreshments were at once served , a
score or more little tables being tastefully
spread for the occasion with dainty linen ,
pretty wares in silver and china , delic-
jous edibles and cut flowers. The collation -
tion was elaborate , varied and toothsome
: ! n character , and the hostess was ably
assisted by a number of friends in its
serving , and the music of an orchestra of
seven instruments added an element of
charm and inspiration during the hour.
t The affair , besides being unprecedent-
edly comprehensive in its scope , was
in that neither cards nor dancing
\
were utilized in entertaining the unconi-
monly numerous company. But the
lively run of social chat and small talk
1
was augmented and quickened by the
presentation of a list of twenty-two conundrums -
undrums , which the guests were expect-
I ed to answer upon cards specially prepared -
pared for the occasion. Keen interest
and quite a competitive spirit were ex-
diibited in the solution of these questions.
Three ladies succeeded in correctly answering -
wering seventeen of the total of twenty-
two conundrums , but in the drawing
Mrs. Sylvester Cordeal was successful in
securing the prize-a pretty souvenir
spoon. Likewise three other ladies had
20 draw for the booby prize , which fell
to the lot of Mrs. B. V. Haley.
The awarding of prizes concluded happily -
pily one of the most extensive and charming -
ming entertainments in McCook's social
history , every feature of which passed off
'with rare smoothness and to the evident
satisfaction and delight of all.

There are Women.
There are women who are comely ,
There are women who are homely ,
But be careful how the latter thing you say-
' There are women who are healthy
There are women who are wealthy ,
There are women who will always have their
way.
There are women who are truthful ,
There are women who are youthful ,
Was there ever any woman that was old.

There are women who are painted ,
There are women who are wortheir weight

There are women who are tender ,
There are women who are slender ,
There women very large and fat and red.

The Baptist Boys' Brigade.
Some misapprehension probably exists
in the minds of many of our citizens iii
regard to the object and motive of the
Boys' Brigade , recently organized by the
Baptist Bible School. To set at rest any
mind who may think that it is primarily -
rily a military organization , it is only
necessary to quote from the constitution :
"The object of this organization shall be
to advance Christ's kingdom among the
boys , and instill in them habits of reverence -
erence , discipline and obedience. " And
further , every boy joing the brigade
must he a member of the Sunday school
and before receiving their membership
cards are required to sign a pledge to
obstatn from the use of tobacco , intoxicating -
cating liquor , and from swearing and
using vulgar language. Thus the military -
tary part of the movement is entirely
secondary-only a means to an end.
The earnest co-operation and aid of
our people is asked in this effort to get
hold of the boys. That something should
be done is a fact too patent for argument.
We believe this will be a success here as
it is everywhere else in the United States
that it has been tried. Nearly 15,000
boys are now enrolled in the ranks. The
growth of the movement during the
four years of its existence has been phe-
nothinal , rivaling that even of the Christian -
ian Endeavor Society. Further information -
tion may be had of the superintendent.
Grandpa's Birthday.
On Saturday evening , December 15th ,
1894 , the children of the M. E. Sunday
school , under the direction of Misses

The fund for aiding the poor in Furnas
county is .already exhausted and overdrawn -
drawn , and the commissioners are at
this early date finding the question of
taking care of their needy ones a serious
problem. And the winter season has
hardly touched them yet. This aid business -
iness is destined to become very bothersome -
some before spring.
Last week Colonel Bishop of the Weekly -
ly Reporter relapsed into his old bad
habit of iliconsidered roasting over the
mandamus proceedings instituted in the
supreme court , Wednesday. We sincerely -
cerely deplore anything and everything
tending to inflame partisanship in this
matter. It is useless and unlovely ,
Bishop. It is immaterial , irrelevant ;
and not germane to the case.
Recent investigation has proven conclusively -
clusively that the benevolent people of
our city have been shamefully imposed
upon by certain parties from the coun-
try. This fact should simply stimulate
our people to ascertain whether the persons -
sons seeking aid are needy and deserv-
ing. Some course should be devised to
get such information on authority. No
needy ones should be allowed to suffer.
No indolentworthless , , undeserving ones
should be given what belongs to the
honest poor.

WINDMILL IRRIGATION.
Valley of the Frenchman to be the
Scene of Great Industry.
HOLvoLE , Colo. , Nov. 25-Special. ]
C. H. Harman of this city and assistant
superintendent of the local line of the
B. & M. , together with his employes ,
have incorporated under the name of
Frenchman Valley Windmill Irrigation
Company for the purpose of testing in
this part of the state and along the
Frenchman creek the possibilities of
windmill irrigation. The surface bed of
the Frenchman creek is composed of
dry ground , but at various points an
abundance of water is found at from
three to six feet below the surface Mr.
Harman is of the opinion , and with good
reason , that there is sufficient water in
the creek to' irrigate a large amount of
land in the adjoining portions of the
valley. With that view of the matter he
put men to work , the first of the week ,
excavating a well near the city. The
well is eight feet in diameter , and the
workmen are down now about twelve
feet , and ever night the water accumulates -
lates in the well to the depth of four
feet. The work of excavation was suspended -
pended today on account of being unable -
ble to bail the water away from the
workmen as fast as it flowed in. A windmill -
mill and pump of large capacity is now
being erected , and when completed and
in running order , the sinking of the
well , together with running a connecting
tunnel across the channel of the creek ,
will be advanced mail such time as the
pump will be unable to exhaust the inflow -
flow of water. After that suitable reservoirs -
ervoirs and of sufficient capacity for the
quantity of water obtained will be constructed -
structed for storage purposes , and the
coming season a corresponding area of
land adjacent will be irrigated , cultivated
and planted to garden crops If this experiment -
periment proves a success , and its promoters -
meters have every reason to believe it
will , then the following season will witness -
ness a duplication of the plant at one
hundred or more points along t 11 e
Frenchman and within the limits of
this county.-Omaha Bee.
We will say in this connection that
work has been delayed , for the present ,
on the above mentioned enterprise. Mr.
Harman tells us that they are now waiting -
ing for a pump that lie has ordered , and
that work will be resumed early the
coming week.-Overland Mail.
