Their Fourth Annual.

. 487 , Brotherhood of Railroiul Train-
tuen , in their fourth annual ball , in the
'Menard opera house , Tuesday night ,
credited themselves with a large and en
joyable success. They had a large at
tendance and a large time.
The music was of the best vintage of
the Pythian orchestra , which is quite
irresistible to the lovers of the dance.
( From the opening inarch led by Mas
ter of Ceremonies . C. Bulger and
lady , Miss Ona Simons , to the closing
"Home , Sweet Home" waltz , the affair
passed off without a hitch and in the
most gratifying manner to the guests and
4o the eminent satisfaction of the man
agement and membership , each and all
of whom are to be congratulated and
/felicitated thereupon.
The supper was served by the Ladies
'Circle of the G. A. R. in the Smith storeroom
-room , and it was harmonious with the
Test of the affair. The ladies spread an
elegant repast in the most attractive and
tasteful style , being accorded a liberal
, patronage for their labor and effort in
preparation for that feature of the event.
The opera hall WHS very tastefully dec
orated with colored streamers and colored -
ored lanterns in profusion , making an
effect most pleasing to the eye and ex
Jiilarating withal.
In addition to the local attendance ,
wiauy were present from points up and
down the division , adding another happy
element to an occasion the boys may
well feel proud of.

This has been one of the happiest eel
ebrntions of Christmas in McCook's his
tory. Most of the churches had specin

The church was decorated prettily and
appropriately for the event , to which
the children look forward with such
eager anticipation.
A treat was given the children ; besides
presents , candy and nuts were distribut
ed by individual teachers. The enter
tainment was one of the most sutisfac
tory held in the church in years.
The service Sunday morning and even
ing were special and appropriate to the
time of peace on earth and good will to

A decorated Christmas tiee was among
the features that delighted the children.
GERMAN CONGREGATIONAL.
The Christmas celebration in the Ger
man Congregational church was held on

crowded to the limit , temporary seats
having to be provided to accommodate
all who came to witness the exercises.
The exercises by the Sunday-school were
very pleasing and full of interest , and
were followed by the distribution of

nuts and apples in the line of refresh
ments
A fourteen-foot tree , nicely ornarnated ,
was among the attractions of the cele

ducted regular services in the church.
METHODIST.
At the Methodist church they had a
tree and a miscellaneous program , which
was given on Saturday evening , iu the
presence of a large and appreciative aud
ience. In addition there was a treat and
presents were distributed to gladden the
many youthful hearts present. While
the entertainment lacked the elaboration
and special nature of some other years ,
it was received with cordial approval and
enthusiasm by the large audience that
always throngs that church on such
occasions.
The Sunday morning and evening ser
vices were also special , the music by the
augmented choir being a prominent
feature.
ST. PATRICK'S.

menced with Mass at 8 o'clock. The

A holiday improvement at the German
Congregational church is the new cur
tains , just hung , adding to the comfort
and appearance of the church , which
has been materially improved within the
year past.
The probability that Rev. Vogt may
remove to another field in the early sum
mer will not be learned with any degree
of satisfaction by his friends in this sec
tion , where his work has been most ar
duous and efficient.
It is satisfying to learn in connection
with the work of Rev. Vogt of the Ger
man Congregational church that the
regular attendance upon the services of
the church is too large for the seating
capacity of the building ; and one of the
problems of the future will be , if the
growth of the congregation continues ,
the enlargement of the building. A
parsonage is also among the needs of
the * new year , which promises well for
them in material and spiritual ways.
PUBLIC SCHOOL ITEMS.
An enjoyable Christmas entertainment
was given by the children of Katheryn
Mullen's school , a few miles northwest
of the city , last Friday. The program
was well rendered by the children and
the event was a happy one for all con
cerned.
The total receipts from the school en
tertainment were $90.60. The expense
items summed up to $30.60. As stated
aefore this sum will be devoted to the
purchase of charts , books and kindergar
ten apparati for the grades participating
u the entertainment. The superintend
ent and all engaged in the production of
the entertainment are appreciative of and
grateful for the patronage so liberally
jestowed upon them.

From the Philippines.
The following letter was written to
Mrs. Martin Traver of our city by il.
Alice Sprudlfn , who resigned her mis
sionary work for the Christian Mission
ary society in China to go to the Philip
pines arid nurse the soldier boys , and la
in answer to a communication from Mrs.
Traver. It will be found full of interest :
Manila , P. I. , November lath , 1898.
My Dear Mrs. Traver : Your letter
reached me late in the evening of the
loth. Yesterday I went to see your son
and found him looking well and happy.
I had only a few minutes talk with him ,
but hope to see more of him in the
future. I found Mr. Pacal on the sick-
list. Yesterday was his first day off , and
his Symplons did not seetn serious ,
met the Major-Doctor in charge , and he
kindly gave me permission to call at any
time. He also gave me permission to
assist in the diet-kitchen when he moves
into his new hospital , which he hopes to
do soon. Major Snyder seemed to be
very thoughtful and kind to the sick.
I have been working , since coming to
Manila , in the Red Cros-s ward of the
general hospital : but being from Kansas ,
which is close to Nebraska , I feel natur
ally more interest in the Nebraska regi
ment , and the receipt of your letter
prompted me to offer my services in the
way I have mentioned. I pray I ixay be
used to do something in His name for
the comfort and welfare of your and
other mother's sons in this place. There
are eleven other ladies out representing
California , Colorado , Utah and Oregon.
Most is being done for the California
regiment , as most of the ladies and Red
Cross supplies came from that state. I
wish it were possible for Nebraska to
send out supplies and representatives for
the Nebraska regiment. The boys need
them. All the regiments do. I was ex
pecting to find the Kansas regiment here
when I came , but you know they were
not allowed to come , and I presume will
not now. I am truly thankful to be in
Manila , though I feel very much alone
sometimes for one meets very few from
the home-land who are pronounced
Christians. But I have tried very hard
to put myself completely in His hands
and let His power be made manifest
through me. How well I have succeeded
the Lord Himself can judge. I am try
ing to wait patiently for His call and de
cision.
Your letter did me much good. This
field is surely ripe for the harvest , but
no reapers are ready. I have had more
calls for teaching than I could possibly
meet and do hospital work. I am teach
ing an evening class at present. I have
only a little time to devote to the lan
guage and am not accomplishing what I
should like.
Two missionaries , a gentleman and
his wife frojn the state of Washington ,
reached here , two days ago. They ex
pect to do work among the soldiers , I
believe , in connection with other work.
We have tried to rent a house together ,
but so far have failed. I feel anxious
to do more Christian work. I have not
heard from the board since reaching
here , and do not know what they intend
to do with reference to this field. I feel
Manila will be my earthly home for the
present. He who brought me here can
provide for my stay in His own way.
I trust to hear from you again soon
and always think of me as one ready to
serve the mothers and sisters at home in
any way I can. Do not hesitate to write
or have your friends write whenever you
feel I can be of service in any way.
With much Christian love and a great
desire for an interest in your prayers , I
am most sincerely ,
M. ALICE SPRADLIN.
Everlst's Barn Is Destroyed.
Between one and two o'clock , this
morning , the barn on West Dodge street
occupied by O. L. Everist & Co. , dray
men , was entirely destroyed together
with its contents save one buggy and a
cow. Six horses , one the property of
Rev. Howard Stoj * . two heavy drays , one
light dray , the bus , furniture van , and
all the harness and tools were utterly de
stroyed. The loss on contents is placed
at $1,650 , upon which there is 800 of
insurance. The barn was the property
of J. E. Kelley , and was valued at $ See ,
being insured for $600. The loss is a se
vere one , and Mr. Everist has much
sympathy. The fire is thought to have
originated from the bus light. Mr. Ev
erist had just gone home from making
No. 3 , which was a little late. The in
flammable nature of the barn and con
tents made a quick fire , and the work of
the department , which on this occasion
was not commendable or effective , was
practically useless.
Mr. Everist will go to Omaha , this
week , and expects soon to resume busi
ness.
