K. C. Boys Visit Red Cloud. The special train on the C. It. X (. It. H., carrying one hundred members of the Kansas City Comnierial Club, arrived in our city on Fri day of last week. The object of the trip was to become better ac quainted with the merchants of the vicinity. F W. Cowden, secietary of the local Commercial Club, had pre viously made arrangements with the auto owners of the city to furnish conveyances for the visitors, both to and from the depot. The baud, which they carried Willi them, rendered Er eral choice selections, while the gen tlemen, idoutlflod with the business Intorests of Kansas City, called on the local nieiehiiiits and distributed var ious souvenlis bearing their adver tisements. -.

F. W. Cowden also wtnt into details concerning the meeting of the Nubias ha State Commeiclal Clubs, held i.t Omaha, May '.Mill and '.'Mb. His ie port contained many valuable sug gestions, also gave sutlleieut pioof ot what had and could be done along the line of public imptovemeuts, the main object being to "get down to brass tacks", and 'do .something instead of taking up valuable time discussing what they could do and just how it could be done. If everyone would show as much enthusiasm as Mr. Cowden, it would be but a matter a short time until this improvement is under way. It is hoped that the interest shown by those attending this meeting will continue, for Tied Cloud lias never yet attempted anything ot which they have not mado a Miccess. Mayor Damerell was present at this meeting and said the county was will ing to contribute ?-30 towards putting the road between here and the Kan sas line in first, class shape, if the citizens would contribute tlio Mtme amo'iul.
