Dewey Social.
The Dewey social to be given by the
ladies of St. Alban's Guild of the Epis
copal church promises to be an enter
tainment of unique conception , thor
oughly patriotic and supported by a
programme of popular talent. There is
no doubt that the novelty of its attrac
tions will reflect credit due the manage
ment and also prove one of the most
successful socials of the season
The good people of McCook have al
ways been quick to respond when the
merits of any cause or undertaking have
appealed to them , and we predict that
this instance will be no exception.
It is thoroughly a McCook idea and a
McCook affair , embracing all the patri
otic sentiment of the day , and charac
teristic surroundings will lend reality to
the scene. The clergy and officers of
the city have been invited to mess with
the navy , and the representatives sure to
be present are : The Goddess of Lib
erty , one of Columbia's fair daughters
who will grace the mess , supported bv
her nearest relative , our dear old "Uncle
Sam , " who , on that occasion will have
ironed out some of the war wrinkles
from his beaver. The various depart
ments of the navy , from the boatswain's
mate to the doughty admiral will be rep
resented. The victorious army depart
ment has not been neglected. Generals
Shafter , Wilson , Wade , Lawton , Wood ,
Roosevelt and others , who are busy giv
ing the Spaniards their passports , can
not personally be presentbut will be ably
represented. Admiral Sampson , Commo
dore Schley and others will be represent
ed and given a post of honoi.
The officers headquarters be an
attractive point and those who assemble
there will carry away with them souve
nirs of this very pleasant association.
The mess will be in keeping witn till
such occasions , modified somewhat to
tickle the palate of the 'longshoreman
No pains have been spared to prepare
a varied program which will meet with
popular favor. "Our own" Brigade band
has been mustered into service and will
enliven the evening with selections
The spacious lawn surrounding the
home of Mr. Mundy will be captured by
order of the admiral. The departments
from cook's galley to engineer's corps
are preparing for the invasion on the
evening of July 2-th. The recent vic
tories and Fourth of July celebration
have taxed our store of enthusiasm to
the utmost , but our patriotism gives us
breath to cheer always for old glory and
our army and navy. A pleasant evening
is assured all who go in this spirit. It is
an appreciable pleasantry which one
cannot fail to enjoy.
Not Smooth Enough.
Carlisle F. Drips , a railway mail clerk
making the run between Bladen and
Hastings on the B. & M. road , was yes
terday brought before United States
Commissioner Billingsly and bound over
to federal court under $ rooo bond which
he could not furnish. He had tinkered
with the mails , abstracting a registered
package containing $280 , sent from the
postmaster at Bladen to Hastings. Post-
office Inspecter Sinclair had suspected
him for some time as he was very free
with his money and had been drinking
more than usual. He was arrested
Tuesday at Hastings. Wednesday morn
ing he was brought to Lincoln and taken
before the commissioner. Close ques
tioning failed to get any' more than the
admission that he had seen the package.
The officials then said they would search
him. On his person they found $65 in
bills. Of this amount , two were found to
be identical with some sent in the pack
age , postmasters keep a record of the
numbers of bills sent. When this was
made known , Drips weakened and vir
tually admitted having stolen the pack
age.
Deputy United States Marshal Keitn
took the prisoner to Omaha under order
of Commissioner Billingsley as the sys
tem employed for the indentification of
prisoners there in the way of taking
photographs is much better than that in
use in Lincoln. Thursday's Jouinal.
Valley Grange Caucus.
The Republicans of Valley Grange
precinct will hold their primary election

Don't Borrow Trouble.
Some of the ordinances recently passed
by the city council recall to our mind
the advice said to have been given to a
young barrister by the immortal Lincoln :
"Don't raise any more issues than 3ou
are prepared to defend. " For instance
that eighty-rod limit for the establish
ment of a cemetery. It might as well
be repealed.
"I think DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve
is the finest preparation on the market
for piles. " So writes John C. Dunn , of
Wheeling , W. Va. Try it and you will
think the same. It also cures eczema
and all skin diseases. A. McMillen.
