WORTH THE MONEY
Perlormance At The Opera House of High
Merit
The theater going public of Shawnee
who were intrepid enough to brave the
threatening weather and witness the
rendering of Miss America by the
Irma Opera Company at the opera house
last night were rewarded by a musical
and intellectual treat such as one is sel
dom permitted to enjoy outside of the
metropolitan play houses As a comic
opera Mis3 America is among the best
of its kind and the company playing it
is far above the average of the traveling
opera troupe The leading lady has a
clear soprano voice of rare scope and re
markable sweetness and her every ap
pearance was the signal for enthusiastic
plaudits from pit to gallery When in
response to an encore she sang The
Last Rose of Summer and the full
range and power of her magnetic voice
rang out in the simple notes of the
familiar old air the entire audience sat
spellbound and during the interludes
you could plainly hear the ticking of a
watch eo great was the hush which had
fallen on her hearers The leading man
won his way to the hearts of the audi
ence by his sunny smile and graceful
bearing almost before he had spoken a
line and afterwards with his fine base
voice heightened their appreciation of
his merits
The specialties were food probably
the greatest amusement being induced
by the humorous rendition of Katrina
a German character by a diminutive
little blonde whose eyes danced with
mischief and merriment and who got in
to her part ad though it were made for
her The best musical number of the
evening was easily the singing of Vio
let and in acurtain announcement last
night it was stated that this pleasing
number would be repeated This com
pany is an exceptionally strong one and
no one interested in operatic music
should miss the opportunity of hearing

Nebraska Wheat Goes North
Minnesota millers claim that they use
spring wheat only for Minnesota patent
flour Many retailers and bakers have
heard this claim so often that they be
lieve the statement This is a false be
lief fastened upon our people by knock
ers against Nebraska flour This fact
was cinched last week by indisputable
evidence for two grain companies of
Omaha had orders for 600000 bushels of
Nebraska winter wheat to be shipped to
Minneapolis mills Doubtless this win
ter wheat will be made into flour and
part of it at least shipped back hero
and sold as Minnesota patent flour
made from northern hard wheat or
spring wheat as they are pleased to call
it Stand up for Nebraska push Ne

humor of The Republicans position on

company not with the people or the city
at least not until there is a transfer of
title and property on a proper and equit
able basis

McCOOK RED WILLOW COUNTY NEBRASKA FRIDAY EVENING DECEMBER X 1906
An Evening With Dickens
An appreciative audience enjoyed an
evening with Dickens at the Bixler
last Friday evening aud good reading
doubtless recoived a stimulus in many
McCook homos
Congressman Norris entertained and
instructed all in his lecture on Dickens
A student of the great novelist and
familiar b y travel with many points
made famous by Dickens works he
was in a special position to say the final
word and it was gracefully said and
well
The social-literary-music period while
not realizing all expected on account of
the departure for homo of some of the
audience was worthful and suggestive
of greater possibilities along that lino in
the future There wore readings from
Dickens by Dr S C Beach and Mrs
F W Bosworth and several clover
charades by Mrs Bosworth Great Ex
pectations and Sketch Book being
well done Mrs W B Mills played an
effective piano number and Miss Haze
Hare and Mr John Gaarde an appreci
ated violin clarinet duo
The stage was very effectively decorat
ed for the handsome
garden scene of the opera house being
utilized in connection with flowers
palms and appropriate furnishings flags
etc
The Tribune hopes the future may
have in store for McCook other such ed
ucational and uplifting affairs and that
the public library cause and good read
ing may prosper immeasurably
Burial of Edward Hine
The remains o f Edward Hine were
buried in Riverview cemetery last
Friday afternoon from the Baptist
church of our city of which deceased
was a member Services were conducted
by Rev A F Green at 130 oclock
Deceased was born 30 years ago in
Indianapolis Indiana Died at Hast
ings Colo Monday November 26th
1906 death being the result of a frac
tured skull sustained in a fall from a
scaffolding whereon he was working as
a carpenter Edwards mother died
when he was about one year oldan3
from that time until he reached mans
estate he lived with Mr and Mrs Char
les Hine well known to many Tribunf
readers as one of the early settlers of
this vicinity He came to McCook with
the Hines in 1883 and this was his home
up until three years since
card of thanks
We are all very grateful to all the kind
friends for assistance and sympathy in
the burial of Edward Hine and thus
publicly acknowledge and express our
appreciation therefor
