Death of W. M. Anderson.
This community WHS deeply moved ,
last week , by the announcement of the
fatal illness of W. M. Anderson at his
home in Omaha , to which place he
moved with his family , a few years
since , from our city , and they were pre
pared for the word , which came later ,
that he had died , early last Friday morn
ing , after an illness of about a week ,
lie was taken ill on Friday of the week
preceding , and was unconscious from
the beginning , with brief lucid moments ,
until the end. The disease was an af
fection of the bratn. The deceased was
for a number of years an honored and
respected citizen of McCook , and the
liearts of many friends here go out to the
wife and children in their sad loss , for
truly was he a loving husband and indul
gent father.
Nebraska lodge No. i , A. I7. & A. M. ,
of Omaha , conducted set vices in Omaha ,
Saturday afternoon last , in the use of the
solemn and beautiful ritual of the order ,
after which the lodge escorted the re
mains to the train for shipment to Me
Cook. One of the members of the lodge
and order , M. Y. Starbuck , accompanied
the body. The floral offerings of the
lodge and others shipped with the re
mains were among the handsomest and
most elaborate ever seen in this city a
rich and charming expression of frater
nal love.
The funeral services were conducted
liere in the Baptist church , Sunday
afternoon , by Rev. George Scott. The
burial was held under auspices of the
Masons and Workmen , of which orders
the deceased was an enthusiastic member
in life. The heavy rain which prevailed
during the services confined the attend
ance to a very few , unfortunately.
The departed had made generous finan
cial provision for the family , having a
total of $6,500 insurance on his life.
Will Anderson was known by a large
and admiring circle of friends in McCook
and his death comes to many hearts with
power and sadness. THE TRIBUNE ex
presses the sentiment of the community
in which he lived with credit and honor
in offering the family tender and sincere
sympathy.

Jersey City , N. J. , July 18 , 1854 ; died in

mained until his death. He leaves a

Entertain the Kappas.
Mrs. W. B. Mills and Mrs. W. V.
Gage entertained the members and hus
bands of the members of the Kappa
Sigma Kappa club , Tuesday evening , at
the home of Mrs. Mills , in a notable and
charming style. Various amusements
and games were projected for the enter
tainment of the guests , the advertise
ment guessing contest being one of the
most engrossing. One of cleverest con
ceptions of the evening was the cards
upon which the guesses were to be
written. Bach card contained some
thing in figure or word appropriate to
the business or occupation of or "hitting
off" the individual to whom it was giv
en. Mrs. Ray P. Vahue won the prize
and Mrs. Harry A. Beale the booby.
Easter lilies , carnations and suiilax
formed the decorative feature of the
home and on the tables on which re
freshments were served. The effect was
very pretty and tasteful.
The dainty refreshments were served
with much taste and with every needful
accessory of utility and beauty.
The whole affair is described as having
been most superlative in conception , de
tail and execution.
PAT'S DISCOVERY.
Found That There IVhere Two of the
Ugly "Hastes. "
An amusing incident was witnessed
in a menagerie the other day , where
a number of the well-known trick
mirrors were placed between the
cages. An Irishman , after a critical
survey of the monkeys , had wandered
away from his better-half , and sud
denly found himself in front of one
of these mirrors. After one glance
at his distorted reflection , he rushed
back to his wife , who was etill watch
ing the antics of the monkeys. . "Come
away wid ye , Bridget , " he exclaimed.
"Oi've a bigger trate than that the
ugliest baste in the show. He's in a
little cage in the corner. " Bridget of
fered no objections , and as two or three
of the bystanders , who had heard
Patsy's remark , were equally anxious
to obtain a peep at the "ugliest baste , "
there was quite a procession to the
"little cage in the corner. " Patsy , as
the original discoverer , secured first
place and dragged h'is wife in front
of the mirror. To his astonishment ,
there were more in the "cage" than
he expected. "Begorra , Bridget ! " he
suddenly exclaimed , "there's a pair av
'em ! " To eay that Patsy had a lively
time of it when some one explained the
situation to Bridget would be to put it
mildly.

That Masonic Event.
The Masonic event referred to in last
week's TKIIJUNE came off , Tuesday
night , as per schedule , and was. one of
the grandest affairs lately undertaken by
the brethren of that order.
There was an unusual attendance , be
tween 130 and 140 Masons being piesent ,
and there was genuine brotherhood and
fraternity in excelsis.
There was work iu the third degree ,
and it was exemplified in fine style be
fore a full lodge. After the business of
the evening , there was a banquet with
the usual attendant toasts , which con
cluded a memorable evening for the
Masons of Southwestern Nebraska.
Palms , potted plants of various kinds
and carnations decorated the tables and
added to the beauty and attractiveness
of the scene , which has not been equaled
in many moons , and is scarcely ever ex
celled in our city , which is famous over
this section of Nebraska for its social
affairs and functions notable.
The banquet was spread by Band No.
I of the Dorcas society of the Congrega
tional church , and the ladies nmintaiued
their highest and best traditions. The
elegant accessories of the lodge were
used by the ladies in placing their re
freshments before the hungry multitude
about 130 persons partaking of this at
tractive feature of the auspicious occas
ion.
Responses to toasts were made by the
following gentlemen , and some of them
are declared to have been masterpieces :
Grand Junior Warden Ayers of Beaver
City , Rev. William Hardcastle of Cam
bridge , Grant D. Harrington of Wiscon
sin , who recited Bob Norris' "The Level
and the Square , " John T. McClure of
Beaver City , J. S West of Benkelman ,

S. W. Clark of Bartley , A. A. Taylor of
Cambridge , Dr. Walthall and by Messrs.
G. W. Norris , W. J. Turner , G. R. John
son and Sylvester Cordeal of our city.

hood of 130 Masons , and of this number
at least 80 were from outside lodges.
There were representatives present from
Arapahoe , Benkelman , Stratton , Cul-
bertson , Beaver City , Stamford , Hoi-
