Will Abate the Nuisance
The Tribune learns with satisfaction
that the county authorities are making
Arrangements to shut off the jail from
the approach of the public by an iron
fence of a suitable kind The lonfing
about the windows has been a nuisance
during the summer and past winterand
this move on the part of the authorities
is a proper one In the case that plan
does not materialize it mignt prove
efficacious to arrest some of the lads who
worse than waste their time loafing
about the south jail window smoking
and talking with the prisoners The
practice ought to be stopped and we
understand it is the purpose of the
sheriff to stop it one way or another

Commercial Club Session
The Commercial club had under dis
cussion and consideration two particu
lar items during its session of Tuesday
evening of this week
The matter of carrying forward the
petitions for lateral sewers and the for
mation of sewer districts was discussed
to the end that a committee of three
was appointed consisting of L W
McConnell T E Kelley and E J WH 4
cos who will have this enterprise strict
ly in charge and will push the securing
of names to the petitions for both east
and west Main avenue sewer districts
vigorously and intelligently
Another enterprise proposed was
broached and discussed at some length
namely the new school house This
was taken up by President Barnett
who as a member of the board of edu
cation was in position to speak author
itatively He stated that the board
contemplated asking for an issue of
36000 bonds for the construction of a
new high school building the- board
considering that amount necessary to
build a proper school house for present
needs and at the same time to antici
pate the future in a small measure He
stated that petitions and other legally
required acts were being taken and the
board expected some time in the future
to ask the citizens of this school dist
rict to vote upon the proposition to pro
vide means to build the proposed new
high school
The Tribune expresses the desire of
the people of McCook when it says that
the building should be substantial
creditable and ample for the present de
mands and sufficient to meet the re
quirements of our growing city and en
larging public school attendance The
amount proposed by the board of edu
cation will doubtless be required for the
purpose stated Public schools and the
public school system come high but we
MUST HAVE THEM

ance during the long illness and after

State Supt McBrien Consults
State Supt McBrien was in the city
last Saturday in consultation with the
several superintendents of the counties
represented in the McCook Junior Nor-
mal school and with City Supt Thomas
of McCook who will again bo in charge
of the normal during the session of 1906
It is within bonds to state that the
prospects are bright even at this early
date for the coming year The county
superintendents present were Miss
Flora B Quick of Red Willow Mrs
Margaret West of Hayes Miss Estella
Goodwin of Dundy and James OConnell
of Hitchcock They were at one in
promising increased attendance from
their several counties next term es
pecially among those who would in all
probability remain during the encire
term
The consensus ofopinion was that the
school during the past years has been of
great profit and that its usefulness and
importance are growing in an
ening circle That McCook is a logical
location for something of a permanent
character in a state educational institu
tion as shown by the attendance and in
terest manifested in years past by the
teachers of this section of the state
In the evening at the Palmer house
Mr and Mrs Albert Barnett of our city
were the authors and finishers of a
pleasing and informal social incident to
the regular business gathering in the
acceptable form of a dinner served in
five courses and in the best style of that
popular hostelrie with every needful
and tasteful acccessory and a menu of
most appetizing and seasonable particu
lars
On this occasion Host Barnett who
is a member of the McCook board of
education and deeply interested in mat
ters appertaining to our educational in
terest and advancement took incidental
opportunity to express McCooks ap
preciation of the benefits derived from
the junior normal sessions of past years
the presence of the teachers in our midst
the social moral and mental uplift not
to mention the entertaining features of
each session were mentioned among our
blessings
State Supt McBrien could not resist
the opportunity of expressing in kind
the states the instructors and the
teachers pleasure and gratitude at the
interesF shown by the citizens ofTVIc J
Cook in the success of the school The
superintendent expressed the wish and
hope that McCook might in time be
come the location of a permanent teach
ers training school and complimented
this community upon the patent concern
its people in educational matters

The Sole Remnant
Not very long ago Mr Walter Bentley
Ball was singing with a solo quartette
at one of the large Methodist churches
in Columbus O Everything had been
going smoothly for several monthswhen
suddenly the other three members of
choir resigned or were dispensed with
by the music committee who kept Mr
Ball as precentor The next Sunday
came around and being left alone
he had to render a solo Rather
hurriedly it must be confessed Mr Ball
selected one and did not at all realize
what he was singing until well into the
aria from Elijah It is enough O
Lord now take away my life This
was bad enough but when he came to I
the dramatic climax where the voice
stands out alone And I even I only
am left and they seek my lite to take it
away it was too mucn xne congre

strained himself by a great effort from
breaking down completely
