Abput tho time the work of the

was an unusual alarm at the
outer door The guard reported the
outer works in the hands of a score or
moro feminine barbarians with an as
sault ou the castle as impending A
hurried consultation ensued with the
result that the better part of knightly

unconditionalsurrender and thereupon
tho wives and sweethearts of the

A Quiet Home Wedding
Mr Carl Kleint and Mrs Dr Mary
Rowland both of Herndon Kansas
were united in marriage at the home of
the brides mother Mrs Ellen Canaga
in our city Monday evening July 4th
The wedding was a private one only
relatives and intimate friends being
present
The bride is an accomplished young
woman being a graduate of tho Kansas
City Medical college and well known to
the readers of The Tribune The
groom is a successful and enterprising
young business man o Herndon Kan
They have the earnest wishes of
many friends in Red Willow county and
in Herndon and vicinity for their happi
ness and continued prosperity
Bitten by a Mangled Rattler
Fred Rheinheimer was bitten by a
rattlesnake on the left hand last Satur
day morning about eight oclock and
had to make a quick run to McCook to
secure medical assistance thereby sav
ing his life perhaps they made the
trip from the farm south west of McCook
to the city in forty minutes The dogs
had practically torn the rattler to pieces
when Fritz picked up the head to ex
amine the teeth and was bitten on the
hand Liberal doses of firewater were
administered and Fritz will soon be
ready soon to investigate rattlers or any
old thing that comes along regardless
Improving the Plant Considerably
Frank Real Co are improving their
elevator plant at Perry in antici
pation of an active run of business in
the fall at that place Among the im
provements are a new wagon scale and a
four horse power gasoline engine Clean
ing and elevating at that point has been
done in the past by horse power The
gasoline engine will give more power
and materially increase the efficiency of
the plant All that Perry needs is a
bridge to make it quite a grain shipping
point Roads from both north and
side quite naturally lead to that point
with easy grades

A Rousing- Celebration at McCook
McCook has every reason to be satis
fied with her celebration of July 4th
The day was ideal the crowd large and
bent on having a good time and noth
ing of note occurred to mar the days
festivities
Tho formal program of the morning
opened in the city park at half past ten
oclock when Mayor Ryan welcomed
all to the freedom of the city Chair
man Rathbun of the executive commit
tee responded and announced the open
ing number a patriotic selection by Prof
Millers Normal chorus Rev Carman
uttered the invocation The Trenton
band played a selection Prof Martin
read the immortal Declaration of Inde
pendence The high school cadets ac
centuated the singing of the stirring
Star Spangled Banner by the chorus
with the firing of salutes
The oration by Hon Perry A Clay
of Denver was a splendid able effort
The barbecue followed Roast ox
coffee pickles and bread were served
the multitude without money and with
out price
After dinner the Welhelmsons con
tinued their vaudeville Captain
Hardy assised by Mrs Hardy had the
boards in a marvelous exhibition of
fancy shooting The A O U W drill
team gave an exhibition drill Then a
thousand or more of the crowd went to
the ball grounds and witnessed McCook
defeat Trenton by a scare of 10 to 7
While the ball game was being fought
out on tho Athletic park diamond these
other momentous contests were settled
in the city park in the presence of other
thousands G S Scott became richer
a bucket of lard and a bottle of wine for
bis conspicuously lilliputian proportions
and J F Cordeal won a box of cigars
on his brobdignagian shape J F
Morrissey had no competition in the
homeliest man contest he secured a pair
of suspenders and a 50 cent due bill on
the McCook laundry Since thg re
moval of F II Spearman from our city
W B Mills has everything his own way
in the big feet line hence he was the
winner of a string of bologna a bottle
of beer and a free hair cut M L
Knotts voice won him a package of
tobacco and a handkerchief Baby Al
lison and Baby Modrell won first and
second prizes respectively among the
15 and 20 pretty little tots in the con
test In the girls foot race Maudo
Hegenbergers fleetness was rewarded
by a dish and a bottle of perfume and
George Gates established a record and
captured a hat in the boys race
Captain Hardy delighted many at the
ball park after the game by more of his
marvelous shooting
In the evening the Welhelmsons were
also in evidence on the Main avenue
platform provided them and never
failed of a crowd The Trenton band
also entertained the crowd with an even
ing concert The fire drill and water
fight crowded lower Main and west Den
nison streets Hose Co No5 2 made the
hundred yards and hydrant coupling in
thirty two seconds There is no telling
how quickly Hose Co No 1 would have
done the stunt if some waste had not
been stuffed in their hose In the water
fight O W P Sampsons initials and L
P Forsmans smile secured victory for
the city department from Frank Ham
mel and Milton Stoner of the shops
The fireworks later in the evening
concluded the festivities of the day and
the crowd lingered in large numbers to
witness them
The crowd from outside the city is es
timated at between 3000 and 5000 per
haps the first figure is nearer the fact
If not the largest it was ooe of the
most satisfactory celebrations McCook
has ever held and The Tribune wishes
to commend and congratulate the com
mittee upon its undisturbed success

F S Cutter one of Ginn Cos
state representatives spent Monday and
Tuesday in the city speaking at the
Tuesday morning assembly He is a
clever Uni boy He did a dual social
business stunt while here
State Supt W K Fowler in a circu
lar letter addressed to the principals of
the junior normal school writes Boom
the Mountaville Flowers entertainment
You can do so with a clear conscience
and a glad heart Ho will not disap
point
Deputy State Supt McBrien was in
the city Monday and Tuesday nights
between trains 5 and 6 Ho reports the
attendance at the McCook normal as
about equal to the others being held
over the state McCook now has 141 as
150 at Holdrege He will spend the day
here July 15th
By far the largest number of teachers
enrolled in the junior normal school are
registered from Red Willow county The
county superintendent Miss Flora B
Quick is insisting on a high standard of
excellence in preparation for the teach
ers work and insists on at least three or
four weeks attendance here This means
better rural schools next year
In the manual training school con
ducted by Miss Anna E Caldwell the
work this week and next is with first
grade pupils Beginning Monday July
18 it will be with those of the second
and third grades while the last two
weeks commencing August 1st it will
bo with children in the fourth and fifth
grades of school This is an item of fact
of particular interest to teachers and
prospective teachers
The program last Friday morning
was appropriately and stirringly patri
otic Prof Martin spoke on the origin
of our government MissOSullivan read
the Declaration of Independence Prin
cipal Thomas read Lincolns Gettysburg
address and Patrick Henrys oration
Miss Caldwell spoke on how to teach
patriotism to children Prof Miller and
chorus sang patriotic songs There
were quite a number of visitors
It will be observed that the enter
tainments almost without exception
under the auspices of the normal are of
general rather than special interest
hence are entertaining to all This fact
should be -appreciated by the general
public and especially remembered that
each one on the program for the sum
mer is a headliner in his particular work
The Tribune thns hopes to see all the
entertainments liberally patronized
We have received very encouraging
reports from the Junior Normals at Mc
Cook and Holdrege The first week our
county had eight enrolled at Holdrege
and fourteen at McCook The number
will no doubt be doubled before the end
of the term We have several teachers
attending the summer terms at Peru
Fremont arid other Normal Schools
Our home institute was among the best
in the history of the county There has
never been a time when our teachers
had as many advantages for profession
al training brought within their reach
as at the present Those who make
use of the opportunities offered will sure
ly be able to do better work in the
school room On the other hand there
is a constant demand for better instruc
tion and each year more districts are
willing to increase the wages for the
sake of getting trained and
experienced teachers All of these
facts point to better days for the chil
dren Mrs Clara L Dobson in Our
