The C. E. Anniversary.
I I Last Sunday evening the Christian
: Endeavor society of the Congregational
church commemorated the fourteenth
anniversary of that grand organization
with special exercises. The evening
hour was devoted to the excellent pro-
gramme rendered , no church services
rheing held. The different numbers were
'of uniform interest and instructiveness.
The preparations were of such unmistakable -
takable excellence as to merit a much
I larger audience even than was present.

A Hard Month.
The man who argues that there is a
storm somewhere every day , will find
good grounds for such a prediction during -
ing this month. A look at the storm
diagram shows an unusual blending and
overlapping of causes. Jupiter still holds
his grip , growing in power as he approaches -
preaches his crisis in May. Mars is at
the center of his period on the 7th ,
Venus is at the center of her period on
the 20th , and earth will begin to increase
her disturbing influence sensibly by the
15th. This strong combination of long-
period disturbers certainly will augment
and prolong all the phenomena in Feb-
ruary.
The storms originating in January
will subside to eastward by the 2d , and
the cold wave which followed them will
have crossed the country to the Atlan-
tic. About the 5th and 6th marked reactionary -
actionary storms will transpire , with
good chances of being continued past
the central days of the Mars equinox on
the 7th , the full moon in Perigree on
the 9th , and into the Vulcan period , 9th
to 13th. Some hard storms will occur ,
interspersed with unsettled and threatening -
ening weather all along these dates :
The probabilities are that heavy snow
will prevail to the north , but that rains ,
with lightning and thunder will be the
order in the south. Cyclones and tornadoes -
nadoes are among the probabilities.
Quick and extreme changes to very cold
will follow all general storms of the
month. The 17th and i8th will bring
decided storm conditions , with perhaps
a sudden sweeping cold wave , but the
temperature will react quickly to very
much warmer , the barometer will fall-
winds will change to southerly. , and
storms of a dangerous character will
sweep through the continent from
about the 22d to 24th. Look for enormous -
mous rains in many sections central and
southward , with heavy snow and blizzards -
zards all along the northern side of the
country. At this time , whenever it
turns warm , with south winds and low
barometer-no matter if in the far north
-expect violent sotrms and carefully
watch all threatening clouds. The probabilities -
abilities are that dangerous local floods
may result from heavy rains impeded by
the breaking and gorging of the ice ,
along the rivers and streams that flow
through narrow valleys.
Careful and long observation has
shown us that the first regular storm
period after the centerof Venus period is
apt to bring the heaviest storms. Unless
this instance proves an exception , the
storm period , 20th to 24th , will make a
record to be remembered. The lines of
the braces show that we look for the
heaviest disturbances about the 22d ,
23d and 24th. A great cold wave will
follow from the northwest-one that
may prove a terror to man and beast.
The month goes out growing warmer ,
with reactionary storm conditions in-
creasing. PROF. HICKS.

t
McCook Lodge No. I , Star of Jupiter ,
will hold a "St. Valentine Dress Ball"
on next Tuesday evening , February 12th ,

right away. If you are indebted to the
publisher , and can secure the wood ,
why not bring in a load or two , before

An obstreperous lamp caused a big
commotion in H. Kapke's house , last
Friday evening. An alarm was turned
in and the fire department quickly
responded , but it was not necessary to
throw any water. There was small lesser
or damage.
The Charity Concert.
It is with no little pride that the Philharmonic -
harmonic club present to the public
through' the columns of the Times-
Democrat , this week , the programme
they will render , Friday evening , February -
ary ISth , under the auspices of the
King's Daughters. Nothing equaling
this , classically , has ever been attempted
by amateurs here , and will , we feel
sure , be thoroughly appreciated by the
music loving people of our city.
The Anvil Chorus , introduced by
selections from the Opera Il Travatore
by Verdi , played by the Brigade band ,
accompanying the voices in the
Anvil Chorus , perhaps deserves more
notice than the other numbers on the
programme. The entire chorus of 20
voices , accompanied by the full band and
orchestra , with the clanging of the anvils -
vils , will produce an effect 'never before
heard in McCook. Mr. H. P. Sutton
will superintend the mounting and playing -
ing of the anvils , which fact insures it
being properly done.
On the whole , the entire programme ,
without an exception , is of such excellence -
lence that it cannot well afford to be
missed. Mrs. E. E. Utter as musical
director has orked tirelessly , and at
this time the results of her labors are
gratifying indeed , and the work of the
club promises to more than fulfill her
expectations on Friday evening.
As is well known the proceeds all go to
the destitute and suffering among our
people , and we venture the prediction
that the people will be found , as they
always are , on the side of those who are
in dire distress. Every ticket bought
counts towards helping some one , and iii
view of the cause and the great necessity
for immediate help , let Menard's opera
house be filled as never before to hear
the Philharmonic club sing for the
sufferers.
The Death of John Smith.
THE TRIBUNE has investigated the
case of John Smith , who recently died up
in Allen precinct , Frontier county , about
seven miles north of Box Elder , and the
cold facts seem to be that the man's
death was due to exposure and starva-
tion. There was some flour and beans in
the house at the time of the man's death ,
but no bedding , the sick man lying and
dying on a heap of old clothes. There
was only one stove in the building , which
was a miserable one-room sod hut. And
"cow chips" had been the sole fuel during -
ing the winter.
It should be stated , however , that the
man's sensitiveness about taking aidand
his efforts to keep from the public his
true condition , is the reason for the sad
state of affairs and tragedy. It is stated
that he took special pains to keep away
any persons thought to be around looking -
ing far just such cases. It is stated that
not long before his death , aid was refused -
ed , l\lr. Smith saying that he thought
they could pull through.
The deceased was between 55 and 6o
years of age. He leaves a wife and two
children. The county of Frontier paid
the expenses of interment and has secured -
ed the services of a nurse for Mrs. Smith
who is also sick.
We gather these facts from John White
the road overseeer of that district , and
from others in that vicinity.
The case is a sad one , and no blame is
to be attached to any one but the proud
and unfortune man himself , perhaps.

Mr. MacAyeal tendered his resignation -
tion to his church some time ago. It
was declined by the church and word to t
that effect sent him. He in turn refused
to reconsider the resignation , but proposed -
posed that the church unite with him in
calling a council to consider his dis-
missal. At a meeting last Thursday
night the church declined to unite with
him in calling the council , so that it
remains for him to stay here or call an
exparte meeting on his own account and
force the separation. On Sabbath morning -
ing after service he announced that he
did not feel like assuming the responsibility -
sibility of such a course and thought he
had done all he consistently could
toward carrying out the resignation and
would leave the matter alone with the
understanding that the church take the
complete responsibility of his continuing
pastor. There being no evidence that
the church wished to shirk the burden ,
it looks as if the pleasant relation of the
past five years or more would be continued -
tinued indefinitely.-Cambridge Kaleid-
oscope.
THE TRIBUNE will favor bonding the
county to secure feed and seed until
better satisfied that the farmers of the
county do not not need such assistance ,
or a better plan is presented. We are ,
however , open to conviction. Two of
the most common arguments now in use
are barred , vis : selfishness and partisan-
ship. They have no place in the discussion -
sion or the decision of thequestion. The
first consideration is , is assistance neces-
sary. The second step follows : How
can the assistance be best rendered.
This county must do its duty. It must
make such provision for its people that is
within its ability. We cannot in honor
and common decency give up and depend -
pend upon public benevolence. It is the
duty of the countyy to provide seed and
feed for those unable to buy them for
themselves , nest spring. We cannot
afford to depend on an uncertainty , to
lean on a broken reed. We must do the
utmost within our power to supplement
outside generosity. A people who will
not strain every nerve to help themselves
are not worthy the benevolence of men
or the blessings of God.

From California.
S. H. Colviu writes fromu Santa Anu ,

a promising crop of grain , he reports.
That C. A. Mitchell and Maggie Woerner
have joined the old people , Miss Maggie
assuming the name of Mrs. Mitchel ! .
They are living on a ranch at Anaheim
for the season. He says that the orange
crop is fine and about ready for the har-
vest. No damage as yet from frost , and
the price above common. That many
eastern people are wintering there. He
closes wishing all his old friends in Red
Willow countyy a prosperous year.
Exceptionally Honored.
A good old Methodist lady attending
service in a suburban Episcopal church
last Sunday became happy under the
preaching of the word , amid ejaculated
"Glory ! " She was admonished to keep
quiet by two of the brethren , and nodded
assent , but soon becoming forgetful , responded -
sponded "IIallelujah ! " The brethren
again called herattention to the annoyance -
ance and told her that if slue did not keep
quiet they would be compelled to remove -
move her. The sermon proceeded , and
the old lady , becoming very happy anti
forgetful of her surroundings , shouted
out : "Glory to God ! " This was too
much for the brethren , and they tried to
lead her out : but she refused to walk , so
t
they carried her. On the way she said :
"I am honored above my Master , for
while lie was carried by an ass , I am
carried by two.-Philadelphia Record. -
They May Experiment.
We understand that the McCook water
works companyy is planning to have an
experimental well sunk , during time coming -
ing spring , in the vicinity of its pumping -
ing plant , in order to give the question
of water supply a more thorough and
complete demonstration. It is proposed
to start with atm eight inch hole , to reduce -
duce to six inches as the conditions suggest -
gest , and finally to four inches. It is
stated that a depth of five kindred feet
will be attained if necessary. We hope
the company will decide definitely to
make this interesting experiment.
Better Than Ever.
THe elegant new instruments for the
Brigadeband have arrived and have proven -
en very satisfactoryy at the rehearsals held.
The band as just organized has already
some twenty members , and it is claimed
by Director Sutton that the Brigade has
better material in it now than ever. lie
is very enthusiastic over time prospects
for the new organization , amid thinks
with proper practice the Brigade will
have no superior iii Nebraska , and few
equals. There is a quantity of splendid
material among the recent acquisitions
to the band.
The Alphabet Social.
There was an unusually large and
pleased attendance at the Alphabet
social given by the ladies of the Dorcas
society in the Congregational church ,
Tuesday evening. The "Alphabet"
feature of time ladies' dime social was
quite a hit. Frank Harris formed the
most words and got the blocks. The
"good night drill" by eight little girls
was "just too cute for any use , " or words
to that effect. The refreshments , cake ,
chocolate and coffee , were very appetizing -
ing , and were enjoyed by about a hundred -
dred and twenty people.
