M a V lJr 5 W TWENTY SECOND YEAR mm McCook Junior Normal School Tho time is at hand when the citizens of McCook eager to advance the citys welfare should be directing their thoughts and activity to promote the in terests of the McCook Junior Normal school which begins its second sum mer session June 13 Tho local commit tee consisting of Messrs J H Bennett A Harnett S 13 McLean G H Thomas and Miss Rache Berry held a meeting on Tuesday afternoon to devise ways and means of making tho school this year a greater success even than it was last The prospects are already brighter that it will be The idea has been tested and approved There is man ifest need for just such normal prepara tion for young teachers as this school provides and those engaged in the rural schools of southwest Nebraska have given evidence of gladness that oppor tunity for this training is so near their homes McCook should wish to promote the school and tho spirit of interest in it out of regard for local pride but it should also stand by it because of tho material gain to the community its location hero means The state law made provision for its continuance for a period of only two years and its further enactment will depend in large measure upon tho zeal displayed by its patrons in this second year of its existence Let us hold fast to what wo have and strive unitedly to make this town permanently the seat of a junior normal school in the hope that ultimately it will become the seat of a senior state institution For other local reasons the coming summer session will prove pleasurable to our people The list of entertainments lectures and musicals provided is of a very high order and embraces the ablest talent that money can buy Frank R Roberson who was here last year will lecture June 20 on Norway The Land of the Midnight Sun His stereopticon views as those know who heard him last year are the finest that art can provide Montaviile Flowers in interpretive reci tals from masterpieces appears July 15 Mr Flowers as the best type of reader occupies a field all his own July 29 Hon Frank Nelson former state super intendent of Kansas a speaker of the breadth and ability of Mr Stetson will lecture The Lotus Glee Club a high class musical organization will sing Au gust 10 The ever pleasing Slayton Jub ilee Singers will close tho seasons enter tainments with a grand concert August 19 There is therefore every reason why McCook should strive to promote the school and increase its importance and none why it should not It is quite gen erally known that much of the burden of the junior normal schools support falls upon the community where it is lo cated and it was deemed advisable by the local committee again to ask for as sistance from our people as was done last year Accordingly a subscription paper will be put out and when you are ap proached for McCooks sake help Local Committee Escaped Burglars in Alma Jail Word was received here Sunday that the two burglars who recently operated in McCook and escaped jail here were in the hands of the officers in Alma Marshal Gray and Constable Osborn went down to Alma Sunday for the purpose of fringing the burglars back to McCook After learning that the officers of Harlan county had the two precious rascals in jail for robbing Pat OShea of Orleans of over 100 worth of silks and had ample evidence to send both of them to the penitentiary they decided to return home and leave the burglars to the tender mercies of the Harlan county officials and court Our officers had no trouble however in fully identifying the thieves
