EIGHTEENTH YEAR. McCOOK , RED WILLOW COUNTY , NEBRASKA. FRIDAY EVENING. JUNE 3O. 1899. NUMBER 7
Rain and Hall.
This section of the county was visited
"
"by a severe rain and hail storm , Sunday
evening , an immense amount of water
falling and considerable damage being
done to the small grain and fruit in some
localities. At this point the official rain
< gauge indicated but .70 of an inch , but
north and east of here there is good
reason to believe that the precipitation
amounted to a number of inches , water
( running down the canyons just east of
the city in a roaring flood , carrying down
stream the bridge over the first canyon
and taking out rods of fencing. In some
.localities the hail practically destroyed
the small grain , which will not be worth
< he harvesting , and other places the
lamage was only partial.
Commencing in the neighborhood of
Frank Stillman's ranch , the hail section
extends north to S. G. Goheen's place ,
east to T. J. Ruggles1 and west to August
Droll's farm. At the latter place 200
chickens were drowned. Fruit growers
in this belt suffered greatly A J.Stroud ,
Fred Plasmyere , J. 1' . Notley , J. M.
drluet , G. W. Randel and others report-
tug sad havoc in their orchards. Among
those more or less damaged by the hail
are : Frank Stillman , T. J. Pate , S. P.
Hart , John Penny , S. G. Golieen. L. A.
3Iansur , G. B. Dimmitt , Mrs. Rose Mok-
ko and others within the territory indi
cated whose damage we have not heard
specifically mentioned.
Reservoir Land Entries.
Commissioner Herman today ( Wednes
day ) issued regulations under the law
Icnown as the cattle reservoir site act ,
providing for entering land for the es
tablishment of reservoirs for watering
cattle. Many inquries have been re
ceived and entries tendered in the local
offices in Nebraska for such sites , but
they have been held up pending the
preparation of the regulations. They
provide that for 250,000 gallons a forty
= acre tract will be given the applicant ,
eighty acres will be allowed for a reser
voir from one-half to one million gallons
capacity ; 120 acres for from one million
gallons to one and one-half million gallons
lens capacity and for anything larger
160 acres will be patented. The reser
voirs are to be free to all owners of cattle
and fencing absolutely prohibited.
Power is also given to the officers to re
ject any application that is not made in
good faith and for
stock-watering pur
poses alone. Any use of a reservoir for
= any other purpose also subjects the eu-
; try to cancellation.
A Social Success.
a
The chiefest purpose of the "Now and
Then" social in the Congregational
church , Tuesday evening , was realized
in a most happy social time enjoyed by
all. The "Now" section had its spread
in the main part of the church , where
ice cream and cake were served with the
modern accessories , while the ' 'Then"
section occupied the east parlor , which
was furnished appropriately for the oc P.
casion. Here tea aud ginger bread were
served by grandmas in the ancient style.
The church was handsomely aud attract
ively arranged for the affair , which
lacked fuller appreciation to have been
. success in the large measure deserved.
< VIcCook vs. Stratton on the Fourth.
One of the most attractive features of
the Fourth of ] uly celebration as pro
posed by the people of McCook will be
the base ball game between McCook and
Stratton. The McCook club will be
materially strengthened for the event ,
and the Strattons have no superior in
this part of Nebraska , so a superb game
may be expected. Come and witness
the game , it will be worth the trip.
However , this will be but one of a num
ber of equally attractive features of the in
day.
New Firm-Old Business.
The old business of the B. & M. meat
market is now under the new manage
ment , Vahue & Son , O. G. and R. P.
Vahue composing the firm. These gen
tlemen recently came to our city from
Allegan , Michigan , and are already
heavily interested in our city and coun
try , owning with A. E. Petty the Old
Reliable shoe store and together the
George W. Roper farm over in Valley
Grange precinct , in addition to this new
investment. May success attend them.

From Cradle to Grave.
A Kansas man's view as reported by
the Wichita Eagle : We look into a
cradle and behold a male child. At the
age of 10 he is a noisy kid , with half the
buttons off his pants and an eye for
meanness. At the age of 15 he is a devil Mr.
in a print shop ; at 25 the publisher of a
county newspaper , at the head of every
enterprise to improve the town or enrich be
the business thereof ; at 35 he is an ema
ciated and wornout man , with holes in ity
his pockets and a bald head ; at the age
of 50 he is a corpse in a cheap coffin ,
and his only resources left behind are
two cases of long primer type , a Wash and
ington hand press and a subscription
book with 500 delinquent subscribers
who line up and march past the coffin
saying , "He was a public-spirited fellow , Hoh
but he couldn't save anything. "
