) _ THIRTEENTH YEAR. McCOOK , RED WILLOW COUNTY , NEBRASKA , FRIDAY EVENING , JAN. 18 , 189. NUMBER 25.
Their Anniversary ,
Nineteen years ago in the city of Chicago -
cage , Mr. and Mrs. Charles F. Babcock
p were united in marriage , and this fact
was the basis of a tremendously swell
reception given in the McCook club
rooms , Wednesday evening , an affair
which was one of the most elaborate in
its scope ever projected and carried out
to a successful termination in the social
history of McCook.
The invitations included the members
of the club , their families and friends ,
and were for six o'clock. Refreshments
were first served in the capacious reading
and reception rooms of the club. The
viands were most appetizing , and were
spread and served with the most attractive -
tive accessories in the way of napery ,
silverware , etc.
Cards , charades and other games were
t played , so that all were afforded ample
' A opportunity for social enjoyment. And
AI the indications were that all had a felicitous -
itous time.
All connected with the inception and
execution of the delightful affair are to
be warmly congratulated. It was a large
undertaking and was very easily and
creditably carried oat.
The attendance was quite overwhelming -
ing , taxing the capacity and accommo-
't dations of the club rooms to the utmost.
i We append a list of those present , so
s far as the rep orter could secure them :

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
I This has been a week of examination
1 and review in the public schools.
A pension fund for retired teachers is
as necessary as a pension or half pay
regulation for judges or army officers.
I ; ij Teachers belong to the public service.
, ji They devote themselves as much as any
civil service list to the good of the peo-
ple. Iu their old age or in case of failing -
ing after a prolonged service they
i ' .ought to be provided for. The Chicago
1 Board of Education has drawn a bill tot
t
f be put before the Illinois legislature to
+ meet this want. The bill contemplates
1 the retirement of women teachers after
twenty years' service , three-fifths of that
+ period to have been in Chicago ; men
teachers to be retired after twenty-five
years' service , similarly situated. All
moneys withheld under the rules and
one per cent. of the salary of the teachers
are to be turned into the pension fund ,
the annuity t0 be one-half the salary
paid to a pensioner at the time of retirement -
ment , but not to exceed $ I.ooo per an-
num. The pension fund is to be held in
trust by the board of education , with the
superintendent and two trustees to be
elected by the teachers and employes of
of teachers at
+ the board. Retirement
the time specified is to be brought about
by a majority vote of the trustees.
+ Whether this is the best method or not
for all the states is of course debatable.
But every state should enact some suitable -
able measure.-Ex.

Whistling is one of the up-to-date

Lodge No. I , Star of Jupiter , of our
city , is in fine condition , considering the
times , a fact in which the membership
is taking considerable quiet satisfaction.
The twin infants of James Robinson
were buried in Longview cemetery on
last Saturday afternoon. The other
members of the family are quite well
again.
They have a business men's relief association -
sociation in Curtis. Last week's Enterprise -
prise contains association's prospectus ,
which is signed by all the leading business -
ness men of the city.
A private letter from Bert Potter announces -
nounces the birth of a son to Mr. and
Mrs. W. J. Hills of Paducah , Kentucky.
That the McCook people down there are
all getting along nicely.
The children of the late Mrs. James
Robinson have received $181.30 from the
order of the Star ofJupiter , which comes
in very handily in the straightened circumstances -
cumstances of the family at this time.
If you had any tears to weep , you
doubtless wept them when you read that
poetry in last week's Times-Democrat.
For instance this gem of purest ray
serene :
The wonders of the mighty deep
No man can fathom in his sleep.
The spouting whale and shining cod ,
Bespeak the workings of his God.
The work of retrenchment goes merrily -
rily on among the commissioners of the
various counties : The salaries of many
deputies have been decreased , and the
the amount of clerk hire reduced , and
expenses generally reduced at every possible -
sible point. All of which is commendable -
ble and eminently correct. It's hard on
the boys , but the times demand quite
rigid economy.
Pursuant to notice the stockholders of
the Cambridge & Arapahoe Irrigation
and Improvement Co. held their annual
meeting in their office in Arapahoe on
January 3d , and elected directors for the
ensuing year as follows : G. W. Hol-
drege , Omaha ; A. Campbell , McCook ;
C. H. Peck , Trenton ; F. I. Foss , Crete ;
R. 0. Phillips , Lincoln. The directors
will meet at their convenience and elect
officers. The company expects to push
the work to completion at once and demonstrate -
monstrate to ourpeople the practicability
and success of the enterprise.-Arapahoe
Mirror.
The only relief bill printed and regularly -
larly before the house is house roll No. I
by Lamborn of Red Willow. It authorizes -
izes counties to vote bonds not in excess
of to per cent. of the assessed valuation
of the county , the bonds to bear 7 per
cent. interest. The proceeds are to be
invested in food for teams and for seed.
This is to be sold to applicants who give
contracts for the payment therefor in
annual installments for five years , bearing -
ing 6 per cent interest. No more seed
can be furnished to one applicant than
enough for eighty acres , at the rate of 75
cents worth per acre , and the debt to be
a lien on the land , collected as a tax.
The bill was discussed in committee of
the whole yesterday and will come up
for consideration again Monday. The
doubt as to the legality of such bonds
seems to have been removed by an opinion -
ion of the supreme court given in 1891
on a question by the legislature on a bill
almost identical. The court holds that
such bonds are constitutional , both as a
police regulation and under the obligation -
tion of every county to protect the lives of
its citizens-Sunday's Lincoln Journal.
Settled for the Present.
The famous Red Willow county-scat
removal case came up before the supreme
court , Wednesday , on an application for
a mandamus to compel the county officers -
cers to remove to McCook , and the court
held that McCook had not received
the necessary three-fifths vote to secure
the couny-seat. Hence the matter is
definitely settled for the present.
Our Indianola friends celebrated their
victory , Wednesday evening , by the usual -
ual and enthusiastic demonstration.
Here's to you.
CommunIcated. '
KENNETT SQUARE , Pa. , Jan. 8 , 1895.
Mr. H. H. Mitchell , McCook , Nebraska ,
Dear Sir : IIearing through the papers
that there was great suffering and want
in western Nebraska , and that you were
elected one of a committee to distribute
aid in your precinct , and as I was an old
settler of your county , and feeliug a deep
interest for the wants and welfare of the
genuine poor , I made an appeal through
the paper here for contributions to send
to my old county of Red Willow. In
response to same there has been four
barrels of clothing cone in to me , which
I packed , and sent one barrel December
31st to C. J. Ryan to turn over to the
proper committee to distribute , for which
I got a free rate over our road here to
East St.Louis ; from there the C , B. & Q.
charged $1.35 per 100 pounds , which I
paid. Yesterday , January 7th , I sent
two barrels to you , got a free rate to
Chicago , from there they charged me
$1.55 per lee pounds. I have another
barrel about ready , which I shall ship
to Prof. Smith of Bartley , Nebraska.
Now I think it a ridiculous shame , and
an outrage on the people of western
Nebraska for the C. , B. & Q. to charge
freight on contributions sent to the needy
-ones along their road when the people
! .ere are good enough to donate the supplies -
plies and our roads here good enough to
give us a free rate. The people here are
awake to the fact that your people are
suffering for the overplus here , and are
willing to do a great deal ; but if their
efforts are not appreciated by that B. &
M. road enough to give a free rate for
the suffering poor we are inclined to relinquish -
linquish our efforts. Hoping that you
may soon receive the barrels I sent you
and that the contents thereof may make
many a needy one comfortable and happy -
py , Respectfully , your old friend ,
H. G. DIxoN.
For the information of Mr. Dixon we
would state that by inquiring of Rev.
Luther P. Ludden , Lincoln , Nebraska ,
manager of the Nebraska aid commission -
sion , he or anyone else can doubtless
secure free transportation of all supplies
intended for the needy in western Neb-
raska. And in no other way perhaps.
The Gold Flower.
The flower , so fittingly called Gold
Flower , was produced by M. Moser of
Versailles , France , and introduced in
Europe last year , the plants selling at a
very high figure , only a few plants coming -
ing to America. The flowers are two to
three inches across , of a bright , shining ,
golden yellow and bearing numerous
handsome stamens. The plant is of low ,
spreading , branching growth , with handsome -
some leaves , the upper side much darker
than the lower. It is perfectly hardy ,
forms an excellent border , or is grand
for bedding , while as a single pot plant
it is charming with its bright green foliage -
iage as a background for the flowers ,
great shiny yellow disks , brilliant in
their reflections as burnished gold.
This year an enterprising firm is offering -
ing it at the price of ordinary plants , 25
cents a plant.
By sending 10 cents to James Vick's
Sons , Rochester , N. Y. , for Vick's Floral
Guide , ( which amount may be deducted
from first order ) , you will learn all about
this beautiful plant Hypericum Moser-
anium , and also regarding their offer of
$300 cash for a name for the New Double
Sweet Pea.

A Voice from Oklahoma.
The following excerpt from the Democratic -

late editor of the Times-Democrat. Colonel -
onel Pete is president of the leading
Ananias club down in Pond Creek , and
is evidently spreading himself like a
green bay tree :
"Mr. Peterson of McCook , Nebraska ,
is aiding us at the case this week. Mr.
Peterson is an old newspaper man and a
good printer. He says there are hundreds -
dreds of people starving and freezing to

Gentlemen ; I have had a cough for
about 16 years , and have tried all of the
popular remedies without being bene-
fitted. I used one bottle of McConnell's
Balsam and my cough is gone. I therefore -
fore cheerfully testify to its merits.
Yours truly ,

411 Main Avenue.
While Plumber Burgess was engaged
in some repairs on the heating plant of
the Workmen temple , yesterday afternoon -
noon , a quantity of water was forced out
of a disconnected pipe and a portion of
the building was slightly flooded. The
ceiling in Noble's store was slighly damaged -
aged , and an elbow in the cellar broken
by the force. The janitor had not turned
off the return pipes , and the little fire in
the boiler soon run the steam up to thirty
pounds pressure , and as the entire system -
tem , pipes and radiators , was full of water -
ter , the energy of the steam against the
water made the entire structure tremble ,
and caused the overflow and damage.
Tlie state relief commission is an organization -
ganization created by the governor. Its
object is to receive and distribute among
the agriculturalists of the state by reason
of the loss of crops by drouth. The
commission has the co-operation of
transportation companies and free bill-
big food , clothing , fuel and provisions ,
with distributing agents centrally located -
ed in the various precincts where suffering -
ing exists , who have complete lists of
destitute people. Contributions from
the charitably disposed will be as evenly
distributed as circumstances will permit.
All communications should be addressed
to Luther P. Ludden , General Manager ,
Lincoln , Nebraska.
If the people would only reflect there
would be less envy and more fraternity
in this world. There is nothing gained
by disparaging men. It doesn't hen
efit one man to villify another. John
Doe doesn't increase the volume of his
business by depreciating the quality of
Richard Roe's wares. The good times
are coming , and everybody will have a
chance to get a share of the benefits of
them. But this wicked habit of maligning -
ing men and disparaging their property
has a tendency to retard their approach
and minimize their advantages. Besides -
sides it is a dishonest practice that is as
reprehensible as stealing or committing
crime of any other sort. The right way
is for men to pull together for the advancement -
vancement of business , and if they will
do that prosperity will touch all of them.

Messrs. Forbes and Wilkinson "fought
nobly" as usual. They were well supported -
ported by Messrs. Bulger and Hall on
the ends ; while Mr. Laycock niade a
first-rate interlocutor.
The solo and quartette siugiug was
creditable and a number of the performers -
ers received the hand warmly. The
chorus work was fair also.
The foot ball was quite warns , as announced -
nounced , and brought down the house.
Messrs. Laycock and Wilkinson made
the hit of the evening in their song and
female impersonation.
The character sketch by Messrs.
Forbes , Wilkinson and Hall called forth
much merriment ; but the concluding
farce was a regular button-destroyer.
The beneficiaries of the evening , the
Nebraska Brigade Band , will receive a , -
net profit of over a hundred dollars to
assist in paying for their new band in- % 1
struments.
The orchestra came in for a full share
of appreciation.
The management is to be ; warmly congratulated -
gratulated upon the success of the enter-
tainmeut.
The Pound Party
Held in the A. 0. U. W. hall , last Saturday
urday evening , by the ladies of the
Charitable Aid Society of St. Patrick's
church , brought out a most liberal donation -
nation for the benefit of the needy , including -
cluding quite a variety ofsupplies.
Socially the party was a success , dancing -
ing being among the attractions. A ten
cent supper was served , and enjoyed by
many. So that socially and financially
the pound party was such a success as
usually characterizes the efforts of the
ladies of St. Patrick's.
The proceeds will be devoted to the
work of charity in this community an
surrounding country.
