The new year promises to open very
favorably for the college. Many new
students are planning to enter Dee. 31.
The week's vacation seems to be a
uiet one at the school; only a good
cleaning up and a few changes, that's
all.
The students say we had the best
time we ever had at the social at the
eollegfl last Thursday evening. And
we are going to have more of them
too.
Paul S. Dietrick anil wife took
Christmas dinner with .Mr. and Mrs.
McKimmcy. Yes, we mean to say that
Paul S. took a great deal of dinner.
They report a very nice time.
Vaul S. Dietrich and wife attended
a surprise party on Harry Harlow
south of the city last Tuesday night.
Taffy pulled nicely, the girls laughed
gaily and in fact all had a good time.
The News Letter editor of Guide
Hock sent the school a sample copy of
bis nice little paper in which he has a
write up of our Husiness College. Mr.
IMitor of the News Letter, we are very
jfrateful for such little puffs and if
Tou Guide Hock people have any young
men and women down there who want
a thorough business or shorthand
education and want to get it for a
small amount of money just send them
to the Red Cloud Husiness College and
we will try and prove that your little
write up was not pufEv but facts. We
are to become acquainted with the
new newsy News Letter and if we
have any substantial bouquets to throw
around we will remember the News
Letter.
Last Friday evening was a gay time
at Nettie Harvey's school, southeast
of Red Cloud. The school gave a very
nice program and Mr. Dietrich was
there to recite. The basket supper
was 6omewhat of a change. The
baskets were not sold, but each young
lady wan wrapped in a sheet and the
hidden treasure was sold to the high
est bidder. Numbers were sold to see
who was the most popular lady and
the laziest man. Miss Hirdic Thornton
was the winner of the former well
wc won't tell who got the latter. Mr.
Dietrick spent the night at Alf. Har
ris' home. This home is very beauti
fully managed. Each child seems to
know how and what to do and likes to
do so just for the love of doing so.
The first year of the Red Cloud Husi
ness College has come to a close. Has
it been a success? Who can measure
the success of this institution? Can it
bo measured in dollars and cents as
most of businesses can? Is it as good
as other colleges of like courses? Are
we doing what we advertise? Think
of the 108 young men and women who
have enrolled with this institution
since its opening only one year ago.
Con wc measure the good it has done,
when we think of he business men of
Red Cloud who have gone down in
their pockets to pay the rent,who have
spoken a good word at every turn for
its advancement, of many others who
have urged young men and women to
take up work in its courses. Can you
measure the good you have done to
yourself and to the boy or girl whom
you have inlluenccd to better himself
or herself? Watch the many students
of the- Red Cloud Husiness College as
they go among you in their work. 12
of our best school teachers in this
county and in other places have stud
ied within our walls, 8 of the students
are now in business for themselves, 20
are holding positions of trust and re
sponsibility In 3 different states, 8 are
pursuing new branches of study in
other scnools, 34 of these are still
within the care of the college. Two of
our students have taken to themselves
life partners and are now living in
peace and happiness. Miss Flossie

SANBON-RlFi:.
Wednesday evening at 8 cAilock, at
the home of the bride's mother, occur
red the marriage of Miss Zoe Sanson
of this city and Mr. Elmer Roy Rife of
Reatrice, Rev. C. E. Davis officiating.
About twenty iruests were present.
The happy couple will make their
home in Heatrice. The bride and groom
are both well known in Red Cloud,
where they have lived for many years.
Mr. Rife was until recently an emnlove
er thing for the manager of a business of studebakcr's transfer line in this
college to be full of business, and Pro-' , , h . u removed to
fessor Dietrick seems to be that. At
any rate he seems to appreciate the
value of publicity, and keeps his insti
tution prominently before the people
all the time through the columns of
the home papers. If it is all pay mat
ter the newspapers ought to be very
grateful, and if it is not, the Professor
should be very grateful. The value of
the business college proposition all de
pends on the man behind the business
Heatrice with his mother, where he is
engaged in the grocery business. They
have a host of friends here who join
with Tin: Cmr.K in wishing them a
long and happy wedded life.

D. S. Coombs.
D. S. Coombs, one of our oldest and
most highly respected citizens, died
last Saturday from a stroke of paraly
sis which lie suffered Tuesday after
noon. Funeral services were held
Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock in the
Congregational church. The pastor,
Rev. A. A. I'ri'SMiiaii, preached the
sermon, taking for his text the fol
lowing passage of Scripture, which
was found marked and copied by Mr.
Coombs in his diary: .hide !M: "Keep
yourselves in the love of God, looking
for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ
unto eternal life."
Daniel Stiekney Coombs was born at'
Thetford, Vermont, July 11, 18110,
where he resided until 27 years of
age, and after taking a coursu at the
Albany Law School, removed in 1807
to Chicago, where he engaged in his
profession until the great Chicago fire,
in which he met with heavy losses.
From Chicago he removed to Lincoln,
Neb., coming to Red Cloud in 1870,
where he has since resided. On Sep
tember 11, 1882, he was married Ui
Miss Emma Isadora Woolley of York,
Neb. For a number of years he has
been in ill health, and for the past
nine years has been an invalid. He
bore the long years of sickness with
Christian fortitude, calmly awaiting,
his Maker's call from earth, which
came Saturday afternoon. He is ur
vived by his widow, two daughter
and one son Alice, Grace and Stiek
ney who have the sympathy of the
entire community.
Andrew Arnold.
Andrew Arnold, who was injured a
couple of weeks ago by a horse falling
upon him, died at his home west of
Inavale Monday morning. Funeral
services were held Wednesday at the
home, conducted by Rev. Williams,
pastor of the M. E. church at River
ton. Andrew Arnold was born at
Toulon, Stark county, Illinois, May 29,
18.17. He came to Nebraska in 1870,
and on December 18, 1883, was mar
ried to Ada GofT, in Gage county,
Professor Dietrick seems to be the officiating. They will make their home
right kind of a man, and the business
college will doubtless prove to be a
great thing for Red Cloud greater
even- than a new court house. If we
had one or a dozen boys or girls to
give a business education, we believe
we would as soon risk the Red Cloud
institution as many older and more
pretentious schools. Guide Rock News

A Beautiful Sight.
People who were outdoors Saturday

something out of the ordinary. Just
as the sun was peeping over the east

peared in the west. Looking west from
the intersection of Fourth and Web
tser streets, the large cro-s which
surmounts the spire on the new Cath
olic church glittered in the center of
the rainbow like a jewel In a crown,
making a very beautiful sight. It was
a good omen for the new church.
