EIGHTEENTH YEAR McCOOK , RED WILLOW COUNTY , NEBRASKA , FRIDAY EVENING. MAY 11. 19OO NUMBER 52
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
PARENTS' DAY.
Parents' day , last Friday , was a very
i gratifying occasion in the cily schools ,
many patrons ol the system taking ad
vantage of the opportunity to inspect
the work of the pupils and to observe
the methods and note the progress being
made by the pupils. About 15" visitors ,
exclusive of school children , were regis
tered at the East building , nearly 200 lit
the West school , 100 at the City Hall
school , and 20 at the South school. The
different rooms in the several buildings
were attractively decorated for tiie day ,
flags , pictures , flowers and various arti
cles of beauty , utility and comfort being
used in rendering the rooms pretty and
the occasion memorable. In each of
the grades were exhibited examples of
the regular work of the school , in addi
tion to examination papers of early and
. later in the term , which gave those who
" * * < desired to see and learn an opportunity
of noting the progress made by the
pupils during the term. It did not take
close examination , in many instances ,
to note the marked pi ogress made by
those who took advantage of the oppor
tunities presented by the splendid public
schools of our city. Some of the ex
amples of drawing exhibited were quite
meritorious. Throughout the various
rooms were evidences of good and thor
ough work done by pupils and teachers.
The laboratory in the East building was
one of the interesting features of the
school ; it is becoming quite well equipped
for the teaching of the sciences covered
by the High-school course. In each of
the buildings lively interest was shown
by the patrons in the work being covered
by their children and in the manner in
which the teachers performed their part
of the labor of instructing methods ,
government etc. We believe this inter
est shown was gratifying to both teachers
and pupils , and that its extension will
prove valuable and instructive to the
patrons of the schools , who can thereby
gain information of a definite sort by
which to judge the merits of the efforts
being put forth to educate their chil
dren and in no other way can accurate
and precise information and knowledge
be secured. Parents' day was a success ,
and could have been a larger success only
by the presence and interest of a larger
number of patrons and of interested ones
in the growth , development and progress
I of the city schools.
The Eleventh grade indulged in the
joys of a picnic on the Willow , last
Friday.
The class has requested Rev. J. W.
Hickey to deliver the annual sermon to
the graduates.
The class of 'oo will have its graduat
ing exercises in the Baptist church , the
selection being made by a vote of the
members of the class.
The children of Miss Wilcox's room
will have their exercises in the Assembly-
room , this evening. The proceeds will
be devoted to paying for an organ for
their school-room.
The school library continues to re
ceive additions to its supply of maga
zines : About 50 numbers of various mag
azines were recently donated by Mr. F.
H. Strout , quite a number by Mrs. C. E.
Pope , and a large number of valuable
magazines by Ex-Treasurer J. H. Berge.
County Clerk Moves.
County Clerk Green "took the eleva
tor" from the basement to the first floor
of the new court-house , fore part of the
week , and is now comfortably and con
veniently located in his proper quarters
in the rear end of the first floor of the
building.
Clerk of the Court Boatman and Sher
iff Kinghorn will jointly occupy the
room vacated by the clerk.
The new furniture has also been set up
in Treasurer Thompson's office , this
week. This is handsome and convenient
furniture and when finally made to fit
the room , will be ornamental as well.
Thus are the county officers being
gradually installed in their proper and
respective quarters , much to their satis
faction.
i A fine lot of elm trees have been
* - planted in and about the court-house
grounds , this week. The elm is a slow ,
but sturdy , grower and in course of years
will render the grounds attractive and
shady.
Every patriotic citizen of Red Willow
county will rejoice at every effort made
to complete the county's elegant new
court-house , which should be the pride
of all.
A Word to the Teachers.
The institute for 1900 will be held in
the McCook High-school building from
June 25th to 3oth , both inclusive.
Examinations will be given on Friday
and Saturday , June 22d and 23d , before
the institute , none to be given in con
nection with the institute.
We hope that every teacher who ex
pects to teach in this county , the coming
year , will realize the necessity of attend
ing this institute.
Special announcements will be mailed
to all teachers about June ist.

About the Money.
As there is doubtless some misunder
standing about the matter , TUB TRIB
UNE takes the opportunity of correcting
any false impressions current concerning
the disposition to be made of the India
famine sufferers fund to be raised by the
people of our city , next week ; and
word as to the cost of transmitting funds
or breadstuffs :
We have it on the authority of G. L.
Hosford , secretary of the Nebraska Com
mission for India Famine Relief , that
the cost of transmitting funds or breadstuffs -
stuffs through the Nebraska commission
to India has in no case exceeded 12 per
cent ; and that so far the expense on ull
Nebraska contributions has not reached
5 per cent. And the reasons why the
expense is so light are plain :
The U , S. government places ships at
the disposal of the commissions to take
the breadstuffs to India. There are no
salaried officers connected with the com
mission to be paid out of the funds. No
percentage is given to collectors for col
lecting money or raising funds. Those
who do it , do it for humanity's sake.
When the cargo arrives in India , it pass
es into the hands of a committee of
American men in Bombay , missionaries
in that country , chosen out of all denom
inations , who distribute the food directly
to the starving people. It may be safely
stated that at least 90 or 95 per cent of
every dollar .contributed to the Nebras
ka commission will get to India and be
used in relieving starving people.
A Chicago reader of THE TRIBUNE
with a large heart and generous means ,
noting in a recent issue of the paper Mc-
Cook's preparations for a field-day to
raise funds for the famine sufferers in
India , has this week forwarded a gentle
man in this city his check for $100 toaid
in the good work.

The Wllsonvllle Cyclone.
Wilsonville , Furuas county , and vicin
ity were visited by a very destructive
hailstorm and cyclone , last Saturday
evening about six o'clock. The hail
storm preceded the twister , and is des
cribed as having been the worst ever ex
perienced in that section. Thousands of
window-panes were shattered and boards
and shingles were broken into splinters
by the large hailstones , driven by a
stiff gale from the east.
The cyclone formed southwest of Wil
sonville after the hailstorm , passing
through the northern part of the town.
The Presbyterian church , a brick house ,
numerous burns and outbuildings were
demolished.
The damage was heavier in the coun
try south and west of Wilsonville : S. S.
Gerrish's house and barn were complete
ly destroyed ; the family was absent. A.
Tower's residence and outbuildings \vere
reduced to ruins ; Mr. Tower's leg was
broken , Mrs. Tower's collar-bone was
broken , and Miss Tower was badly cut
about the head. Rev. Lavine's new
house was demolished ; his wife and
child were carried forty feet into the air ,
but were uninjured. John McComb's
buildings were destroyed , but no one
was injured. II. A. Bourne's house was
reduced to ruins and Mr. Bourne was
njured. M. E. McFarland's and A. D.
Pierce's large barns were blown down.
Mr. McFarland's daughter was carried
some distance in a summer-house and
set down without injury. Five cows are
said to have been curried a quarter of a
nile without damage. A school-house
vest of Wilsonville was annihilated.
The fruit and small grain in the neigh-
jorhood involved was greatly damaged.
Some damage was done at Hendley , six
miles west of Wilsonville.
Southeast of Cambridge some horses ,
cattle and hogs were drowned ; crops
vere damaged somewhat and several
vagon bridges were washed away. A
\lr. \ Erickson , wife and daughter nar-
owly escaped drowning while crossing
a swollen canyon ; the team of horses
vas drowned.
Bartley and vicinity suffered some-
vhat : Crops were damaged , poultry and
) igs were lost , and window-panes galore
were broken. The new Methodist church
had over a hundred dollars worth of
panes of glass broken. The old Duff
elevator was blown down and across the
railroad track. Some stock was drowned.
The good results from the soaking rain ,
however , fully offset the damage from
the storm , which in this vicinity , was
much less than was at first reported.
At McCook the storm had become re
duced to a slight fall of rain and hail ,
with a brisk wind. There was no dam
age and much gain.
First Anniversary Celebration.
The young ladies of the Awl-Os club
celebrated the first anniversary of the
organization , Wednesday evening , in a
truly notable and felicitous style , in the
opera hall , in an elaborate reception and
banquet to more than two score of the
young gentlemen of the city.
By a most liberal and tasteful use of
decorations , and a clever and appropriate
disposition of furniture and reception-
room accessories , the large hall was con
verted into a most attractive reception-
room and banquet-hall for the occasion.
The decorations were in the club colors
white and yellow. Palms , ferns , car
nations , roses and smilax in profusion
added to the beauty and charm of the
scene. To the taste and incredible en
ergy of the young ladies of the club is
due the credit for the handsome appear
ance of the hall and its convenient
equipment for the event.
There were several forms of amuse
ment and entertainment : One was a
a song-guessing contest cards contain
ing the titles of songs were placed on in
dividuals' backs , others hummed the
tunes and the innocent victim was re
quired to guess the title , when the card
was removed. Dancing was engaged in
and withal the evening passed joyously
and all too rapidly.
The refreshments were spread by the
ladies of Band No. 2 of the Dorcas soci
ety ; and while no effort was made at
elaboration , this feature was wholesome
and tastefully served. Large bouquets
of carnations occupied the central posi
tion on each of the large tables , while
pansies and wood-violets were distribut
ed over the several tables in pretty pro
fusion. Partners for refreshments were
chosen by drawing ribbons of the club
colors.
In lieu of the usual formal toasts , "for
tune1' little
quotations , twenty-five
"brilliants , " were distributed among
the guests and club members , and by
them read in turn. There were some
happy hits among the quotations , which
were all from famous authors. Miss
Thomson , 'president of the club , pre
sided at this feature , making quite
lengthy remarks in connection and con
cerning the club.
Souvenirs , containing the names of
the young ladies composing the club ,
written on paper rose leaves , were dis
tributed to the guests.
A brief musical programme , with Miss
Nina Doan , Messrs. Ray McCarl , Knud
Stangland and I. B. Taylor as vocal art
ists , ended a social occasion of many
bright particulars and joyous recollec
tions.
