dist church Tuesday evening post
poned from Monday evening by the
members of St Pauls Brotherhood

hood presided over the meeting
The affair was exclusively a mans
affair so far as the arrangements and
carrying out of the program are con
cerned There was a worthful pro
gram in the auditorium of the church
and no less attractive refreshments in
the dining room downstairs Some of
McCooks best talent were on the pro
gram for the occasion Mr Roswell
Cutler sang an acceptable selection
Supt G H Thomas delivered a short
address on Brotherhood making a
plea in feeling manner for more brother
ly love between man and man John
Cordealwas at home in a reading en
titled The Smoking Car John
Gaarde played his clarionet solo so well
that nothing short of a second number
would satisfy the audience Mrs W B
Mills added a piano number of merit to
the program
Joseph W Powell of Buffalo N Y
was present having just recently as
sisted at the dedictaion of a now Meth
odist church in Red Cloud where he
raised 85500 at the services last Sun

A Great and Clean Circus
Forepaugh and Sells Bros gave the
people of McCook and this section of
Nebraska a great and good show last
Friday and in return were liberally
patronized by an appreciative audience
It was doubtless the best show that has
ever exhibited in McCook Their pa
rade and grand entry were splendidly
spectacular The circus performance
was high class In the meragerie they
were strong In fine tho aggregation is
well balanced and worthwhile without
objectionable features and untrammeled
by the quite usual drawbacks of the
ordinary show
The shows arrival here was delayed
several hours by a car breaking down
at Holbrook and this hurried the pa
rade There was no special damage
nd none were injured

A September Shower
j0n Saturday afternoon Sept 16 oc
curred one of those events which pre
cede a greater event a shower for
Miss Mabel Wilcox given by Chapter
X- P E O at the home of Mrs J G
Schobel A social afternoon had
been announced but the sociability
4ook on a very unusual air The par
lors3 were most beautifully decorated
The reception room was in pink artificia
chrysanthemums being used in festoons
from the chandelier to the corners and
I r
side walls making a beautiful canopy
while draperies of the same flower added
to the pleasing effect In the parlor
chrysanthemums of white and yellow
Pt E O colors were spun all about
the roomsand looked rather mysterious
Each member of the chapter had been
requested to represent the title of some
familiar song and after these had been
guessed or given up Miss Wilcox
was given a pair of scissors and told to
out the threads and follow them These
took the young lady through many a
winding way but the reward for her
labors came in the opening of the var
ious parcels which were found at the
ends of the threads As each treasure
was brought to view it elicited fresh
exclamations of delight and laughter
was not infrequent while tears were
many times near the surface Each gift
seemed to fill just the right place in the
desires of the happy recipient While
the refreshments were being prepared
the guests were given squares of white
cheesecloth and instructed to hem a
dust cloth and work an initial In this
contest Mrs Meeker easily won the
honors both for speed and variety of
stitches Her finished product was a
work of art A four course luncheon
was served by Mrs Schobel and Mrs
Tartsch who are noted amongP E Os
as model caterers The dining table
had a center piece of yellow dahlias
white asters and clematis The affair
was altogether one of the most delight
ful ever spent by chapter X It was
however what might be termed a sad
happy afternoon the element of sad
ness being due to the approaching
removal of the guest of honor to a new
home Her P E O sisters will send
with her a copious shower of good
wishes for happiness in her new re
lations
