NINETEENTH YEAR. McCOOK , RED WILLOW COUNTY , NEBRASKA , FRIDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 19 , JL9OO. NUMBER 23
New Post-Offlce and Route.
An effort is now .being made by the
people in and about the store' at Center
Point , Frontier county , to have a post-
office established at that place , with F.
F. Garlick as postmaster. The petition
has been largely signed and it is hoped
that the same will soon receive favorable
consideration and action by the depart
ment.
At the same time there is a movement
on foot to secure an extension of the
McCook-Hayes Center star route from a
point at Stevens post office to Quick
post-office , and incidentally the discon
tinuance of the star route from Stock-
ville to Quick. The plan proposed will
make a "circle" route , supplying Quick
from Stevens on the out trip and circling
around to Osburn on the return trip.
This will not increase the mileage of
the star route nor the expense to the
government , but will give the people of
Center Point and Quick a much better
service.
Both plansare meeting with general
support and encouragement from the
people who will be pa rons of the two
post-offices.
The Fortnightly Club.
The Fortnightly dancing club reorgan
ized , last night , for the 1900-1 season ,
with Frank Kendlen as president ; Ed
Jordan , vice-president ; E O. Scott , sec
retary ; F. A. Pennell , treasurer. The
president , vice-president and secretary ,
together with 'Messrs. H. H. Tarlsch
and W. B. Mills , constitute the executive
committee. The Pythian orchestra will
furnish the music. Membership cards
can be secured from Treasurer Pennell at
the First National bank. First dance of
the season , next Thuisday evening ,
opera-house.
Not Looking for a Change.
Following the near approach of the
completion of his large barn , ( a building
32x100 , with i8-foot walls , ) Joseph Allen
of near Osburn , Frontier county , has
commenced the construction of a large
hog-house , which will be 26x84 feet as to
dimensions and will be substantially
built throughout. A large addition and
thorough overhauling of his house pre
ceded the work on the barn. The total
of Mr. Allen's improvements , this season ,
will reach in the neighborhood of $2.500
to $3,000. He is not looking fora change.
. Trentonese are Scared.
The people of Trenton are greatly con
cerned and alarmed over a recent death
supposed to have been from diphtheria
in that burg. The victim , a woman ,
was only ill one day. The affair has
greatly freightened the people of that
place , lest the fatal malady shall spread.
Anti-toxin is being used.
A. O. U. VV. Take Notice.
In compliance with a resolution passed
by McCook lodge No. 61. A. O. U. W. ,

Wood-Doan Wedding.
The pre-eminent social affair of the
week , and one of the happiest and clev
erest in McCook's history , was the wed
ding of Mr. Arthur B. Woods and Miss
Maude L. Doan , Wednesday evening
and the attendant reception. The wed
ding was a quiet affair and was witnessed
by the relatives of the contracting
parties , those ladies who assisted am ;
their husbands , but the following recep
tion was on an elaborate scale and was
very largely attended by a brilliant gath
ering of our towns-people.
The wedding occurred at six thirty in
the evening at the residence of the
bride's parents , Mr. and Mrs. E. H.
Doan , on Melviu street , Rev. W. J.
Turner performing the ceremony. As
the inspiring strains of Mendelssohn's
wedding march from "Lohengrin" were
played by Miss Hattie Yarger on the
piano. Rev. Turner entered the parlor
from the hallway , Myra Conner and
Helen Lawson strung ribbons from the
floral wedding canopy formed of rose-
berries and autumn leaves to the dining-
the brides-maid and best-man
room , - - ,
Miss Nina Doan and Mr. Roy Kleven ,
marched in and assumed positions on
each side of the wedding station , and the
jride approached on the groom's arm ,
bllowed by relatives and guests ; and iu
.he use of the impressive and beautiful
ring service the estimable young couple
were united in the holy bonds of wed-
ock. Congratulations over , the wed
ding party partook of a wedding supper
of choicest viands served with much
cleverness and taste.
The bride was charmingly gowned in
nousseline de soie over white taffeta.
Che yoke and upper part of sleeves were
of white silk net appliqued with white
embroidered taffeta. The skirt was en
train , with accordion pleated trimmings ,
and edged with narrow white satin rib
bon. Over-dress of white niousseline de
soie. She carried a bouquet of white
rosebuds with streamers of white satin
ribbon.
The brides-maid wore a light blue
silk , trimmed with chiffon and lace , and
carried a bouquet of carnations.
The groom and best-man were dressed
in conventional black.
Decorations were of autumn leaves ,
carnations and cosmos , and very taste
ful a'nd pretty. Large monograms of the
letters M. L. D. and A. B. W. , the bride's
and groom's initials , were prominently
lisplayed in the parlors.
The front porch was carpeted and
furnished for two cloak-rooms. The approach
preach to the residence was carpeted
ind lighted by Chinese lanterns , vari-
: olored. Chinese lanterns were also
itrung along both sides of side-walk in
front of the residence.
There were two dining-rooms , one
, vith decorations of red , and one in
vhite , with a profusion of stnilax in
joth. Mrs. A. G. Bump , Miss Mabel
iVilcox and Miss Myra Conner assisted
n the red-room and Mrs. A. J. Cham
pers , Miss Oua Simons and Miss Helen
Lawson in the white-room. Mrs. J. F.
enyon ushered the guests into the din-
ng-rooms.
The punch-room was in pink. Mes-
lames J. W. Line and G. R. Snyder pre-
lided at the punch-bowl.
The ensuing reception was on a scale
lot often attempted in our city , lasting
rom seven until eleven o'clock ; the
narried guests being received from seven
hirty until nine , and the younger folks
rom nine until eleven. Mr. E. H.Doan ,
issisted by Mr. A. G. Bump , welcomed
he guests , Miss Addie Doan , assisted by
kliss Selma Noren , presenting the guests
o the wedding party in the parlor.
The young ladies of the Awl-Os club
ind the members of Knight of Pythias
ittended the reception in bodies , the
'ythians offering a set of touching and
: loquent resolutions from the graceful
> eu of Mr. J. F. Forbes.
After the departure of the guests the
oung people were driven to their own
ionic , the Beggs residence , corner of
Dearborn and Monroe , where a surprise
it the hands of the young people awaited
hem in the form of a "rice shower" of
nest generous proportions.
The tokens received by the young
: ouple were numerous , rich and hand-
iOme.
They will be "at home" after Novem-
> er 15th.

if the festivities.

MCCONNELL & BERRY.
The shirt-waist proposition will be a
pressing one , next summer , but the
question of securing good meats is an
swered every day at Everist , Marsh &
Co.'s.
The people will have the best and
won't be satisfied with anything less ; so
S. M. Cochran & Co. have gotten on an
other shipment of that unequalled antirust -
rust tinware. It's "it. "
They made a skirt at The Thompson
Dry Goods Co.'s , this week , measuring
44 inches around the waist. Strangely
enoughthoughthere was no waste about
it it took all the goods.
The new "kangaroo" walkx oes well

be as erect as a cob , awkward as a cow
and light-headed as a fairy to do it well.
J. W. Hartman informs us that the
big barn he is building for Joseph Allen
up in Frontier county is rapidly approaching
preaching completion. It will be one
of the largest and finest barns in South
western Nebraska.
There may be some uncertainty about
the result of the coming election , but on
*
the meat question there is no room for
uncertainty. Everist , Marsh & . Co.
make it their special business to keep
for sale only the best in their line.
"F. C. " corsets are sold by The
Thompson Dry Goods Co. After four

Numerous ladies have said laughingly
that they would sureiy be back , and in
tended to buy on that plan twelve times
a year. They don't , though , but instead
they send their neighbors in to buy the
comfort and satisfaction of fit that only
the "F. C. " corsets have.
