B \ * /j Benjamin Pliillippi , son of Albert A.
B . { \ and Lena Pliillippi , was born January I ,
B < 1S79 , at the Pliillippi homestead in Val-
B \ Wi ley Grange precinct. Red Willow coun-
F { | | | ty , Nebraska. His death occurred on
B I * Friday , November 19 , 1S97 , after a short
B . ' P ? illness , at his uncle's house in McCook
B W where he was taken for treatment. His
B M , last sickness , though short , was severe.
B ! M All that kind friends and physicians
B ' * M could do was done. He had good care ,
V' ' W bodily and spiritually.
Bill ' "Ben , " as his father called him , was an
BSir active , busy , ambitious boy. He was ,
Bi W we helieve , liked by all who knew him ,
B > l\ w and did not have an enemy as far as we
know. . It is hard for us to believe or re-
la alize that we shall never again see him
ffi moving about in his cheery , pleasant
f Jjjjf way. We shall miss his kind words and
< " * / unselfish ways. After living nearly nine-
• j teen short , busy years , he passed awa3r
K ) vi in peace believing in Christ as his sav-
ior. His friends can all feel that their
; \7 loss is his gain.
\ & The funeral services at the Baptist
B ' -i. church on Saturday afternoon were con-
B V4fi ducted by Rev. Sheafor. Many friends
1 t t followed him to his last resting place.
B' iJfj Let not his friends mourn as those who
\ W\

Denver , Wednesday morning , to spend
Thanksgiving here with his wife , who
has been visiting her parents , Mr. and
Mrs. I. M. Beardslee , for a number of
weeks. Both returned to Denver on
Thursday night.
OLE Hedlund , receiver for the P'irtt
National bank of Orleans , was in the
city , Monday , on business of that bank ,
which has an equity in the Susan Farley
land over on the South Side. Upon
which , however , they will realize noth
ing , as is the case with much of their
security.
Mr. and Mrs. Vine Hovey of For
est City , Missouri , spent the latter part
of last week in this vicinity , the guests
of Mr. and Mrs. S. G. Goheen of Valley
Grange precinct , to whom they are
closely related. They left on Monday
morning for Minden where they will
also visit relatives.
Receiver Gibbons and Pat Walsh
returned from their trip to the south
west after their cattle on last Saturday

Register.
E. L. Laycock was down from Den
ver a few days , first of the week. He
expects in a week or two to go to Mexico
ice and will probably be accompanied
by U. G. Wolfe and Jack McAlpine of
Denver. They expect to do some pros
pecting , but have other matters also in
view. We shall not be surprised to hear
of the entire combination becoming
farmers in a short time as farming is
said to be very profitable down there.
They will at first go to the coast , state
of Vera Cruz , but will make a trip into
the interior soon after their arrival.
Cecil Matthews of McCook , Ne
braska , who is visiting at the home of
his parents at Barrett , called on us one
day this week , aud in speaking of the
section of the country in which he is lo
cated had the same report to make re
specting the prosperity of the people as
comes from every other section of the
country , namely , that they are in better
circumstances financially than they have
been for several years. He says that
farmers who less than three years ago
were at a loss to know how to save their
farm and other property from being
taken under the mortgages , are now al
most free from debt. Of course they
have accomplished all this by raising
cattle and wheat , but even then they
have done remarkably well in so short a
time. Frankfort ( Kans. ) Review.
A Farewell Party.
A pleasant party was given at the
home of Mrs. David Magner , Tuesday
evening , in honor of Miss Montgomery ,
who has been employed in Mrs. M. E.
Barger's millinery store during the fall ,
and who on Wednesday morning left for
her home about thirty miles east of St.
Louis. Those present were : Misses Up-
degraft , Woodworth , aud Carrie Frnzier ;
and Messrs. C. T. Watson , J. N. Purvis ,
Russell McMillen , aud Bert Beyrer.
Games were played in the early part of
the evening , after which oysters were
served. The evening was very pleas
antly spent. Miss Montgomery has
made many friends during her short
stay in our city.
Wantto Establish a Creamery Here
Parties from Beatrice are trying to in
terest our people in the establishment of
a creamery at this place. McCook has
had one expensive creamery experience ,
but this should not prejudice our people
from the consideration of a reasonable
proposition for the establishment of an
other plant of that kind. Years ago the
field was not ripe for such a plant as all
will now agiee. The situation is differ
ent now , and the opportunity is fair for
the success of such an enterprise. It
should at least be given some considera
tion. The same parties are making sim
ilar propositions to the people of Arapa
hoe and Cambridge , we understand.
Reception and Donation.
Notwithstanding the stormy weather ,
Thursdaj' night , the reception given by
the members and friends of the Meth
odist church was a largely attended and
felicitous affair. The reception was cor
dial and the donation generous. The
entire affair indicated the high esteem
in which the pastor is held by the com
munity as well as by the parishioners of
that church , and must have been a source
of much joy and satisfaction to the pas
tor , the members of the church and to all
its friends.
Child Fatally Injured.
Edward the of
, three-year-old son
Postmaster V. Sells of Bartley , was run
over by a wagou , last Saturday , and
fatally injured. The child died a few
hours after the accident. The child was
playing in the yard near a wagon , which
his brother was about to start. In mov
ing the wagon the little fellow was run
down , his chest being terribly crushed.
The funeral was held in the Christian
church on Sunday and conducted by
Pastor Roberts. The entire community
sympathizes deeply with the parents.
PUBLIC SCHOOL ITEMS.
Rev. J. A. Badcon addressed the as
sembly on Monday morning.
The schools enjoyed a holiday from
Wednesday evening until Monday morn
ing , on account of Thanksgiving.
On account of the meeting of the
Southwestern Nebraska Educational as
sociation at Cambridge there will be no
lantern class tonight.
Geo. H. Thomas , assistant high school
teacher , went down to Harvard , Wednes
day night , to be with his parents over
Thanksgiving holiday , and will return
to work on Sunday evening.
Erwin Hopt of the Seventh and Eighth
grades wTent down to Bartley , Wednesday
evening , to speud the Thanksgiving hol
iday with the family. He will return to
his duty of teaching on Sunday evening.
The members of the various grades
sent some books , papers , etc. , to the
boys in the reform school at Kearney ,
for a Thanksgiving present. A very
commeudable act , which will likely be
greatly appreciated by the boys in that
institution , where they are not so well
supplied with such luxuries.
The members of the Tenth grade each
made a small cash donation to send
some candy and nuts to the boys in the
reform school at Kearnej' , Thanksgiving
day. No doubt it will be a relief from
the regular substantial fare of the insti
tution , as sweet meats are not very gen
erously provided by the state.
If there is anything that tremendously
disturbes Colonel Mitchell's
supersensitive
tive , highly artistic Soul , it is amateurish
type-writing. But when one sees the
unspeakable product of his blacksmithy ,
as in evidence in paper and job-work ,
one is filled with amazement and over
come with wonderment that anything
of that kind should move the Colonel.
A full line of novelties manufactured
from the big trees of California , consist
ing of Redwood , Manzanita.YellowMes-

Thanksgiving Services.
The Thanksgiving services iii the
Methodist church , Thursday morning ,
were unusually well attended. The ser
mon , quite an able and eloquent effort ,
was delivered by Rev. Geo. W. Sheafor
of the Baptist chtuch. The pulpit was
also occupied by Rev. Jas. A. Badcon of
the Methodist church , who otherwise
conducted the services. The Methodist
choir sang very acceptably. The decor
ations were appropriate to the occasion :
Over the alcove in the rear of the pulpit
were the words in gold and green , "En
ter Into His Gates With Thanksgiving. "
In front of the pulpit was a display of
agricultural products , fruits and flowers ,
as indicative of the peace and plenty we
are enjoying and for which all should be
indeed thankful.
So far as the city is concerned there
was the usual celebration or observation
of the day. Business was partially sus
pended , and in addition to the public
observance there were the customary
gatherings of families and friends about
the festive board , in which affairs turkey
got the worst of it.
The Episcopalian brethren held their
customary services for the day in their
chapel.
Toward evening snow commenced to
fall and soon carpeted the earth with an
inch of the beautiful , making the day
typical.
The Minstrels.
On next Tuesday evening , the minstrel
entertainment by local talent will oc
cupy the boards at the opera house.
The Tribune hopes the same will have
as large a hearing as the opera house
will accommodate. The performance
will be meritorious and full of fun.
There will be lots of good music , both
vocal and instrumental. The Pythian
orchestra will play some of its newest
and best selections , guaranteeing that
portion to be fine also. The soloists em
brace the best musicians of the city , and
chorus work will be heavy and excel
lent. The first part will be the regular
old style , and you will have the amplest
opportunity to laugh immoderately if
yon wish. The entertainment will be
worth your money , but this is not all.
The object of the performance should
also engage your sympathy and should
guarantee a large patronage. Dent neg
lect this opportunity , Tickets are now
on sale at McConnell's drug store.
Resolutions.
Whereas , It has pleased God. the great
and all wise ruler of the universe , whose
divine plans we often do not understand ,
to remove from our midst the beloved
son Benjamin of Brother and Sister A.
A. Pliillippi , who died in our city No
vember 19 , 1897 , and
Whereas , Brother and Sister Pliillippi
lost a good and helpful son and the fam
ily circle is broken , oe it
Resolved , That Star of Jupiter lodge ,
No. t , extend their heartfelt sympathies
to Mr. A. A. Pliillippi and wife in their
sorrow , that a copy of these resolutions
be sent to Brother and Sister Phillippi ,
and that the local papers of McCook be
requested to publish same.

AVOID ALUM BAKING POWDERS.
Their Use is Dangerous to Health.
The condemnation of alum as an un
wholesome ingredient in baking powders
by the Government authorities as well
as by Iowa and Minnesota State Boards
of Health and physicians generally , has
not deterred manufacturers of such pow
ders from foisting them on the public.
Following is a partial list of the con
demned alum powders found in the stores
in this section.
Calumet , Climax ,
Hotel , Standard ,
Mokaska , Taylor's One Spoon ,
Loyal , Manhattan ,
Chicago Yeast , Rocket ,
K. C , Town Talk ,
Cameo , Grant's Bon Bon.
It is safe to reject all brands sold with
a prize. All powders sold at twenty-
five cents or less a pound are sure to be
made of alum. Dr. Wiley , the Govern
ment Chemist , in his official examination
of baking powders at the World's Fair ,
threw out all "alum powders , " classing
them as unfit for human food.
But the World's Fair could approve as
well as condemn. After the most elab
orate tests , it bestowed the highest award
for purity , leavening power , keeping
qualities and general excellence on Dr.
Price's Cream Baking Powder.
The Shoot.
The shoot by the MoCook gun club ,
yesterday afternoon , was confined to
members of the local club , no one from
abroad appearing to contest. Despite
the snow and cold weather , however ,
the events advertised were shot off.
