"After all , " says the Advertiser's Gazette , "it isn't the quantity ot circu lation so much as the quality of it that constitutes a valuable advertising me dium. THE TRIBUNE has both of these features , however , and the man who fails to take advantage of them gropes in darkness that must be very oppressive. Laundry soap still our leader. THE RACKET STORE.

NO LIVES ARE LOST And the Damage Outside the Church "Will Not Exceed Two Hundred Dollars. BUT ONK PERSON SERIOUSLY INJURED. Last Saturday afternoon at about quarter past four o'clock McCook re ceived her initial visitation from a de structive whirlwind. And there is a general feeling of thankfulness through out the city that we fared no worse than we did. Quite a high wind had prevailed all day , and during the after noon several small whirlwinds might have been seen harmlessly cavorting up and down the valley ; but they naturally caused little attention and no apprehen sion. So that when a consolidation of two of these suddenly whirled across the city from southwest to northeast with eat force and without any considera ble storm indications , it came like a stroke of lightning from a cloudless sky. Nobody expected its unwelcome pres ence , none were prepared for it , and but lew citizens realized that anything unu sual had taken place until the cry got abroad that the Congregational church was in ruins and that forty or fifty chil dren , who weru practicing exercises for Children's Day , were buried in the debris. Then there was a terrible awakening to the fact of a possible calamity , and the populace with one cry of horror rushed to the scene of the disaster , and the work of rescuing the children from their perilous position was quickly inaugura ted. The scene at this time was inde scribable , one those present will not soon be able to efface from their mem ories : The apprehensive cries of the parents mingling with the shrieks and groans of the imprisoned children made a most heart-rending chorus , which was only completely silenced when the injur ed had all been removed from the ruins of the church , the absent dear ones all accounted for , and the fact established that none were killed , and that the hurt were receiving proper medical attention. A calmer review of the situation dis closed the fact that of about a total number of 50 , most of the children had been dismissed shortly before the build ing collapsed , and that of the 15 or 20 who were in the church , Little Sadie Criswell is the only one seriously hurt , although about a half dozen persons were more or less injured. The glaziers got a number of jobs out of the stirring incident. \ Ruth Criswell received slight injury to her back , but she also is now able to be about. The Lutheran brethren and the Bap tist people have thrown open their doors to their homeless Congregational breth ren. Numerous "appurtenances thereunto belonging" were unceremoniously put in general circulation along the whirl wind's path. The Congregational church building is a total loss. No cyclone insurance. The edifice was worth with its contents perhaps $1,200. Potter & Easterday's bran joint , or rather the crib and shed in rear thereof , came out of the unpleasantness quite the worse for wear. Mabel Perry came out of the wreck with a sprained ankle , which is but temporarily unconveniencing her , and is not at all serious. The porch was taken from the front of H. P. Sutton's dwelling as with a monstrous knife. His fence and roof were slightly damage also. The porch on the south side of Mrs. Anna Golfer's dwelling was blown off. Her loss is increased by the destruction of a number of shade trees. The storm continued on its course northeast from the city , but caused no further damage , and with rare skill avoiding all farm houses , barns , crops , etc. Dannie McAlpine received quite pain- full scalp wounds , which are not of a serious nature , however , and he will be kept from his accustomed sports but a few days. The restaurant immediately north of the B. & M. freight house was the first building touched , and the rear portion of it was considerably riddled. The plaster being shaken off and windows dews broken. IRKS DIAMOND urcd thigh , and broken jaw bone. Though terribly hurt the doctors confi dently expect her complete recovery in time. She is receiving every attention. T. B. Campbell's son Harry was one of the unfortunates , two nails being driven into his back , but the wounds were promptly dressed with due regard to possible danger from the rusty nails , and he will be at play as usual in a few days. Rev. W. C. Stevenson , who was play ing the organ at the time , was quite painfully hurt about the abdoman and head , and for a time , it was thought his internal injuries were such as to cause apprehensions , but he is now up and able to be around as usual. Next to the church , 11. W. Cole's briek building was the worst damaged , tle rear portion of it occupied by the manufacturing department of Jos. Reiz- enstein's establishment , was unroofed ; and two large panes of glass in the front were broken out. The operators n the factory fortunately escaped in- ury. For every penny received for sensa tional specials , McCook will have to spend dollars to correct the false im pression thus scattered abroad. It is a rank injustice to a country as free : 'rom cyclones as almost any spot on he globe. Active and thorough steps should be taken at once to place us right before the world. The Omaha Bee's special correspond ent at this place is an artist. lie is , however , unlike the father of his coun try in the characteristic taught in the little hatchet story. It seems to be difficult for the aforesaid sensational correspondent to tell the truth. And as a result of his uncontrollable pench ant , McCook must suffer the annoyance and loss of misrepresentation. May the Lord have mercy on his soul. LOT ONE.

Chairman Gage , of the Republican Central Committee , is in the city , today , seeing after preparations being made ' for the congressional convention lo bo - * held here , Wednesday of next week , in which the Colonel hopes to figure quite conspicuously as a candidate himself. There is an activity in real estate circles which augurs well for the pros perity of western Nebraska. A good crop , as the indications now arc , will double the value of land throughout this section of the state. Alfalfa will be the hay of the future in western Nebraska. Its desirable qualities are being most satisfactorily demonstrated by such progressive men as the Hatfields. John F. Helm and many others. The publisher points with pride to this issue of THE TRIBUNE. As an all at home production , it represents an amount of labor and care exhibited up on few of the Nebraska weeklies.
