W. , returned yesterday from New York where he was engaged in soliciting aid fur the destitute members of the order in western Nebraska. His recall is due , as is generally known , to the court order requiring him to call the regular session of the grand lodge at Kearney in a few weeks. Mr. Tate was met upon his arrival in Lincoln by a number of members of the -order , who gave him their assurance of the loyalty of the order to him personally - ally and the cause he represents. There is no doubt that the grand master has a large following in LincolnA reception will be tendered him at the Funk opera. house this evening , when it will be made clear , perhaps , what the feeling is among the local workmen. Several officers and prominent members - bers of the order from out in the State are in consultation with Mr. Tate as to the course to be taken in dealing with the little difficulty of the grand lodge meeting. They are sanguine that all troubles will he smoothed over and the order will lie stronger and more popular than ever.-Tuesday's Lincoln JouruaL Ask for Them.

Surprised Him Completely. About fifty members of the Methodist class of South McCook surprised Elder Berry , last Friday evening , with a generous - erous donation party. His numerous South McCook parishioners left about $25 worth of substantials and good things at the Elder's home as a testimonial of their regard for him and appreciation of his effurts among them in church work. Besides the affair was a pleasing and profitable one from a social standpoint. They Are a Necessity. You can't do any lawn sprinkling business - ness without one. We mean those patent - ent lever hose couplers. The simple movement of a little lever connects or disconnects your hose to or from the by- Brant. The women will appreciate this little patent.

Some handsome new bex writing paper - per just received at our stationery de- partment. Prices very reasonable. A girl 12 to 14 years of age that proves congenial can find a good home with Mrs. Fred Carruth , two miles south of town. The fifteen-year.old.son of John Bennett - nett of the Quick neighborhood died on last Friday. The burial took place in that locality last Saturday. He married a Trilby because of her feet , too late he discovered , alack , that while to the eye they are grateful , they are not to the small of the back. The chief end of men-of some men at any rate-now , is betting on the coming city election. And more men are betting - ting on their prejudices than on their judgment. We are in receipt of a communication from Banksville which we are unable to publish on account of the severely personal - sonal nature of the same. The writer is an artistic "roaster , " we grant , but we are not in the peanut business. A. Utter , living near Bartley , had a paralytic stroke while in Babcock Bros. store Tuesday.

It seems as if the whole force of the equinoctial storms were concentrated in Great Britian to the exclusion of every other section of the earth. If it were not for the almanac people in this vicinity - ity would not know that we were passing the line supposed to mark the end of winter and the commencement of spring. The publisher is in receipt of an invitation - tation to attend the commencement exercises - ercises of the Kansas City Medical College - lege , which took place on Tuesday evening - ing , March 26th. J. Walter Rowland of Gerver precinct , this county , was a member - ber of the graduating class of twettty- eight. Here are our congratulations. The world has been suffering from drouth for two years. The New York Herald has figures to prove this statement - ment , and also data showing that the trouble has been caused apparently by pernicious activity on the part of the sun. The entlcusiasni of Sol is now abating , according to the best evidence o'ttainable , and it is therefore predicted that the end of the long dry era is now approaching. The relief bill is now a law. Au even $2oo,00o is available to help the farmers of the drouth stricken area put in seed for a new crop. The farmers must do their share , too. Everything should be gotten in readiness for planting so soon as the season permits. The state cannot do the work of the farmer. Let each farmer show , by increased exertion that he appreciates what others are doing for him.-Omaha Bee. One of A. F. Moore's horses died the other day , it is stated , practically of star- vation. Mr. Coffey of East McCook has been in charge of the stock during Mr. Moore's absence in the east. It is said that Coffey has been feeding the animals according to directions given , but that the food has been insufficient in quan- tity. One of the remaining animals is quite reduced in flesh. . . . 'A. ; When Will the Republican Party Die ? When the lion eats grass like an ox And the fishing worm swallows a whale , When the terrapin knits woolen socks And the hare is outrun by the snail , When serpents walk upright like mein And the cloodlehugs travel like frogs , When the grasshoppers feed on the hen And the feathers grow on the hogs , When Thomas cats swim in the air And elephants roost on trees , When insects in summer are rare And snuff fails to make people sneeze , When fishes creep over dry land And mules on velocipedes ride , When foxes lay eggs in the sand And women in dress take no pride , When billy goat butts from the rear And girls get to preaching , on time , When Dutchmen drink no lager beer And treason no longer is crime , When a humming bird brays like an ass And limburger smells like cologne , When plowshares are male out of glass And the hearts of Virginians are stone , When ideas grow in Populists' heads And wool on the hydraulic rani , Then the Republican party will be dead , And this country won't be worth a d-n. -Beaver City Tribune. God Only Knows. Thou alone Keep justntent for thine own. Only unto thee is known What to pity , what to blame , How the fierce temptation came , What is honor , what is shame. -Alice Carey.
