THE PUBLISHER
The Fatal Fifth Wreck
The following account of last Satur
day nights wreck a short distance west
of Akron is taken from the Denver
Times special correspondence from Ak
ron February 27th
Akron Colo Feb 27 Wothe jury
find that the deceased Joseph J Slaby
came to his death on February 25 1905
in a railroad wreck about one and one
half miles west of Akron on the Chicago
Burlington Quincy railroad the same
being caused by the negligence of the
said company
Engineer J J Slaby of Denver was
killed in a wreck about a mile west of
Akron late Saturday night Slaby was
on the front engine of a double header
going east when suddenly and without
warning his head brakeman F B Lewis
noticed an engine backing down toward
them He immediately warned the en
gineer and fireman W R McFarlane
and the latter jumped So did Lewis
Both were uninjured
Slaby faithful to his duties waited
longenough to apply the air This proved
fatal The runaway engine crashed into
him just as he jumped and a rail struck
him on the chest at the junction of the
collar bone with the sternum fracturing
both clavicles three ribs on each side
and the upper bone of the sternum
puncturing his lungs
The runaway engine had been standing
on the track some six hours apparently
blocked but in some manner possibly
having a leaky throttle the engine accu
mulated steam enough in the cylinders
to start itself It travelled over a mile
-crashed into the double header with suffi
cient force to derail both engines of the
double header and then by force of the
jar returned to Akron where it was
caught
Joseph J Slaby was born in Iowa City
Iowa 39 years ago The first twenty
years of his life were spent in the little
town working on his fathers farm In
1885 he came west and began railroading
He settled in Red Cloud Neb and nine
teen years ago went into the employ of
the Burlington He had been with that
road ever since
Six years ago he was put on the West
ern division as a freight eugineer Since
that time he had been in four wrecks
and had never once deserted his post
He was the engineer on the freight train
in the big Sand creek wreck some years
ago
Slaby was one of the most popular men
in the employ of the Burlington He
was also widely known in Denvertaking
a prominent part in the Knights of St
John
Mr Slaby is survived by his widow
two little children two brothers Albert
and Frank Slaby of Red Cloud Neb
and five sisters Mrs J EBeyrer of Pu
eblo Miss Millieent Slaby and MrsV H
Sollidav of McCook Neb Mrs Anna

residence 1739WestThirty fifth avenue

That Telephone Franchise
A few corrections are due respecting
the item in last weeks Tribune touching
upon an application for another telephone
franchise in McCook The applicant
named in the proposed ordinance is
M H Spere formerly connected with
theWray Telephone Co but the applica
tion is not made by the company which
has an agreement on local and long dis
tance business with tho Nebraska Tele
phone Co which precludes it becoming
a competitor of the Nebraska in local
McCook business
Mr Spere in his application does not
mention the important matter of local
rates and in the matter of long distance
service the quality of the line they pro
pose is claimed to make that service im
practical
Incidentally we learn that the Wray
and Nebraska will connect just as soon
as the Wray builds into Culbertson
And again that the Nebraska ia now
preparing to extend its special long dis
tance line and service from Holdrege to
the Colorado state line where it will
connect with the Colorado Bell peoples
long distance service
And finally that the Nebraska is
thinking of building a line to Box Elder
with extensions to neighborhood farmers
and ranchmen It will be of the ten-patron-to-the-wire
line with an up and
down side which reduces the rings by
half
The franchise was not considered at
the meeting of the city council Monday
night of this week
Shall McCook Secure It
Heyward G Leavitt of the Standard
Beet Sugar Co is before the people of
Furnas Red Willow Hitchcock and
Dundy counties with a definite proposi
tion to build a local factory in one of
these four counties In a word he agrees
to build a factory of a minimum daily
capacity of 500 tbns of beets proved ap
pro vided contracts for 5000 acres of beets
shall be secured in the four counties
above named for the seasons of 190G
1907 190S The contracts to be secured
prior to July 1st 1905
Mr Leavitt agrees to pay 500 per ton
for delivered beets and an additional
sum of 20 cents for siloed beets deliver
ed after November 15th
The Tribune esteems this to be a defi
nite reasonable practical proposition
one worthy consideration
In the territory named 3000 acres were
planted hist season Certainly 2000
acres more can be contracted
In the North Platte neighborhood
4000 acres have already been contracted
under a similar proposition It is up to
tho people of McCook and vicinity
whether or not wo shall have a factory
here What shall be the verdict
Butler Concert Co Makes Good
The Herbert Butler Concert Company
in its concert on Monday evening in the
opera house delightfully dissipated the
Royal Hungarian frost entertaining and
pleasing a large audience The concert
was one of the best ever heard in the
city It was high class well balanced in
its entirety and vory satisfactory
throughout
With one exception no violinist has
ever appeared here the equal of Mr
Butler Miss Drakes piano work was
delightful as an accompanist she is un
surpassed Miss Bussings sweet voice
and careful training were exhibited in
the highest by her simple ballad singing
Madam Wunderlo the harpist came in
for a full share of deserved appreciation
We congratulate the committee on the
felicitous finale and hope they may or
ganize another course for next season
We want also to commend the action
of the management in refusing to seat
belated patrons during the performance
of any number of tho program

P E 0 Japanese Tea
The social meeting of the P E O
last Saturday afternoon at the home of
Mrs Henry H Tartsch was one of tho
most elaborate functions of that society
in the years social calendar She was
assisted in the clever discharge of her
duties as hostess by Mrs Joseph G
Schobel and Miss Carrie Budlong
Although ouly members of tho society
participated invitations were issued
The affair being a Japanese tea the invi
tations were written in -Japanese and
were intended na souvenirs of the occas
ion Tbo guests were gowned in kimonos
and wore sashes with diminutive fans
as coiffure ornaments the characteris
tic raiment of the almond eyed daughters
of Nippon
Miss Budlong met the guests and re
ceived them with all tho oriental elabo
ration of posture salaam obeisance etc
directing them on in a Nipponese rhyme
to Mrs SchobGl whore the reception
was similar but less elaborate and the
guests were then ushered into the pres
ence of tho hostess
The decorations embraced a profusion
of images parasols fans lanterns and
Japanese draperies Cushions supplant
ed chairsthe guests sitting on the floor
in true oriental fashion
Miss Budlong served inimitably in the
tea drinking contest in which Miss
Mabel Wilcox won the honors a Jap
anese vase for maintaining the com
pletest external composure as Miss Bud
long unfolded her store of Japanese
social form
A four course luncheon was served
the guests seated at little tables not
many inches high In the table deco
rations candelabrum and festoons of
diminutive lanterns on club coloryelIow
and white ribbons were utilized The
tables were set with Japanese ware and
the distinctive menu items wore cheese
straws and rice but the chefs chiefest
glory was expressed a la Americano
The first affair was a New England
dinner en costume at the home of Mrs
J A Wilcox
Proclamation
Tho streets and alleys of the city of
McCook were dedicated to the public for
use to travel upon and for no other pur
pose It would seem from appearances
that a large number of people hold a
different view from the way all kinds of
refuse is cast into the streets and alleys
and allowed to remain Section 3 of
Ordinance No 02 provides that no per
son whomsoever shall cause or suffer
any offal manure rubbish filthy slops
or any refuse animal or vegetable mat
ter to be discharged out of or flow from
any premises owned or occupied by him
or to bo thrown into deposited or left
upon any street alley avenue public
squcre or vacant lot or other place in
said city and the violation thereof is
made a misdemeanor or punishable with
a fine not less than 500 nor more than
5000
This is notice to all persons that I in
tend to se that this ordinance and
other health ordinances are strictly en
forced All rubbish and offal must be
removed at once from the streets and
alleys and no more will be allowed to be
thrown thereon and whomsoever vio
lates this ordinance referred to will be
prosecuted
Dated March 2 1905
C J Ryan Acting Mayor
Slightly Injured in a Runaway
Mrs Louis Suess and two young
daughters were central figures in a
lively runaway incident Thursday even
ing about six oclock They had c riven
into the alley by the homo stable The
family dog barked a too enthusiastic
welcome at the horses heels The horse
engaged in a continuous kicking stunt
A gentle remonstrance from Mrs Sue9
with a whip started the race At Bur
gess alley corner the little girls became
separated from the party At the south
east corner of the Burgess property Mrs
Suess alighted sans ceremony and the
horses and rode wagon passed on collid
ing with the corner of Burgess front
porch Mrs Suess sustained painful
but not serious injuries to head and arm
but the little girls escaped with slight
scratches The road wagon was badly
demoralized
A Commercial Club
In view of the possibilities for com
mercial expansion and general develop
ment in McCook and Southwestern Ne
braska during the ensuing season and
in future yearsit seems to The Tribune
to he nemilhirlv exnedient that McCook
I shall at once organize a commercial club
along practical lines to assist by con
certed orderly effort all such enterprises
and projects as will be advantageous to
tni3 city ana surrounaing country n
does not seem possible to forward the
best interests or to stimulate the growth
and development of a community or
municipality without organized con
certed unselfish effort With a beet
sugar factory proposition in hand and
others in sight and at the threshold of
a lively real estate campaign a commer
cial club seems to be about the proper

Acting Mayor Ryan has issued a proc

calling upon the people of McCook to
promptly and thoroughly clean up on

This is a proper order and the next best
thing The Tribune knows about the
order is the fact that the city authori

to the letter In fine they propose to
compel those who fail to comply with
the order to do so Better like Davey
