Lincoln Commercial Club Visit
The visit of the Lincoln Commercial
club of our city last Tuesday evening
was a pleasant and profitable incident
for both parties interested a mutual
benefit
Tho special train bearing tho party of
wholesalers manufacturers and bankers
of the capital city numbering about
fifty in all arrived hero at supper time
and nfter a brief but pertinent word of
welcome at the depot from tho lips of
Mayor Waite together with a few an
nouncements tho members of the club
at onco divided one section going to tho
Palmer and the other to the Commer
cial hotel at each of which special prep
arations had been made for suppor
After supper the members of tho club
visited merchants and others in their
respective lines drove and walked over
the city and later in tho ovoning assem
bled at tho McCook Commercial clubs
handsomo quarters in the postofiico
building where an informal program
was had to the evident pleasure and
doubtless to tho profit of both visitors
and businessmen of McCook
President Barnett of the club was
chairman of the evening and various
members of the Lincoln and McCook
commercial clubs were called upon for
remarks F M Kimmell G H Thom
as Dr S C Beach made brief speeches
for the McCook club to which were
mado numbers of responses by the visit
ors Mayor Brown of Lincoln acting as
chairman for them Among the respon
ses were short speeches from II M

tral Building and Loan Association L

chants Bank J L Teeters of the J L
Teeters Cowholesale jewelry concern
M Weil of tho National Bank of Com
merce and others While tho visitors
made it plain that thoy were out for more
business in their several wholesale lines
they forgot not to say words of congrat
ulation and praise for conditions in the
great Republican valley and for the evi
dent enterprise and reception of the busi
mjss men and commercial club of Mc
Cook
The Tribune makes bold to state that
ib belives the businessmen of McCook
by this personal contact with the enter
prising men of Lincoln were at least if
not more equally benefited with tho
visitors who were in our city drumming
up wholesale trade for the capital city
While no set program of entertain
ment was arranged for tho occasion and
events were allowed to take their natural
way the reception accorded the Lincoln
club in the local club rooms was heart
ily participated in was largely attended
and was keenly enjoyed and appreciat
ed
The Alma band accompanied the ex
cursionists in this part of tho state and
favored the people with short concerts
on tho street and in the McCook club
rooms
Tho Griswold Seed Co of Lincoln
had a representative on the scene who
was making his way in a fine automobile-which
toured the city during the
evening

Thinking all was not well he called to
the man to stop but instead of comply
ing with his request tho fellow started
on a run and when Trout commenced
to gain on him ho dropped tho bag and
contents and took to his heels in ear
nest Whon Trout picked up tho sack
he found therein thirty of his chickens
