It long ago seofiied as though
shoes could never bo better anc
never bo cheaper , but they are
hotter now and cheaper now than
lh y ever were before. The greal
eveiy day favorite is our men's
and ladies' shoe. It is as much a
boon to the pocketbook as it is to
the feet. It won't wear you out
to wear it out. You don't need to
take care of it ; it takes care of
itself. It will give you solid com
fort for the simple reason that u
better shoe for knockabout pur
poses has never been produced.
If prices never appealed to you
before , the price of this shoe will ,
for it costs only $2.50. It will
look nicer and wear longer than
any shoe on earth.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
THE O. R. T. BALL
Last Friday Evening : Was a Not
able Success.
C.W.Bronson lodge No. 487 , Brotherhood -
hood of Railroad Trainmen , of our city ,
held their first annual ball in Meeker
hall on last Friday evening. And it is
a genuine pleasure to state that the
boys had a fine a perfect run. All
the passengers they could accom
modate. Through tickets and scarcely
a deadhead in the entire jolly company.
Everybody happy , narya kicker , charm
ing through.
The attendance was very large , dele-
gaiions from Lincoln , Hastings , Impe
rial , Wauneta and other places , aug
menting the numerous local contingent ,
making in its totality a brilliant
gathering , brim full of enthusiasm ,
which found expression in active par
ticipation in the full and varied program -
gram of dances , and in the sundry oth-
erentitles which go to make up a splen
didly successful Ball.
The brotherhood displayed some in
genuity and much taste in the decora
tion of the hail , which was quite elab
orately draped with vari-colored bunt
ing , while lanterns of different hued
glasses , appropriate banners , lettering
andsoforth aided prettily in the general
and attractive effect.
The costumes worn were in many in
stances elaborate and of a variety , ele
gance and richness quite unusual in
this community , where fashionably and
handsomely appareled people are by no
means rare. This feature was suffi
ciently marked to form a picture of
striking offcctiveness and beauty.
The orchestral work by Prof. Reizen-
steiu anil nve assistants was up to their
high standard of excellence , embracing
some new and catchy selections as well
as a number of oldtime favorites , all
being stimulating and meritorious.
In its full , rounded proportions their
first annual ball was a success of the
first magnitude , and the membership of
487 can severally and collectively take
home to themselves large satisfaction
thereat.
A Good Time to Begin.
With two good years back of us
with every prospect of a good year in
front of us , with money easy and confi
dence everywhere , the present year
should be the greatest in the history o
McCook. Now is a good time to begin
to talk on that line and to act on that
line. The old lethargy must be shaken
off. The business world must begin
to realize that the hard times are over ,
that people have recovered their finan
cial feet again , and that judicious in
vestment and well-directed industry
and energy will bring as good results
and probably better returns now than
they have brought at any time in the
past.
past.There
There was never a time when Mc
Cook had such prospects before her as
she has at present. By common con
sent she is conceded to have passed ,
through the past five years of close
times in good shape. There have been
no failures and there are no empty res
idences or business houses in the city.
All that is needed now to put the new
era of prosperity strongly on its feet is
for every business man to gird up his
loins and begin to do business on the
theory that there is confidence enough
and money enough to bring an adequate
return for energetic , well-directed work.
"Stand up for McCook , " is good as
far as it goes , but it does not go far
enough. Spring up for McCook ; move ,
hustle for McCook ; work like a beaver
for McCook ; make your neighbor work
for McCook. Remember in season and
out or season that the earth is the hus
tlers , and the fullness thereof.

A Modern Garden of Eden.
I have just returned from the Re
publican Valley. One can hardly tell
which paradise to prefer the Elkhorn
or the Republican with their beauti
ful tributary valleys. I've traveled over
luost of thu states , except the far west
and the far south , and nothing strikes *
me like these great stretches of beauti
ful , fruitful , fertile , interminable and "
all-day valleys of Nebraska. Yes , all \
day we speed along with the endless vi
sion about us. For seven years Ive
f tasted on these views and thought of the
poor benighted eastern farmer > -truggl-
ing with stumps , stones and fertilizers ,
and of the future generations that will
break away from eastern bondage to
worn out soil and settle here. The on
ly temptation I ever have to secular
life springs from the vast valleys of
Nebraska. The Republican , the Beaver
and the fit lor the "
er Sappa are "gar
den of the Gods. " No wonder there were
rivers in Eden. Indeed , I take no stock
in the location of Ultima Tliulo at the
North Pole. When T get time [ will
locate paradise on the grounds which
the philosophers have overlooked.
They have located Kden most anywhere ,
but the right where. The topography ,
with its conjunction of streams ,
fertility of soil , and transsplendent fall
climate , ( the weather has changed since
the Fall of man ) and the indigenous re
sources , are in so many respects paral
leled to the ancients , account that we can
locate the gaidcn here with more pro
priety than at the pole , as Dr. Warren
attempted to do. Chancellor C. F.

The Special Meetings.
Last Sunday evening in the Metho
dist church the Congregational , Metho
dist and Baptist brethren commenced
their series of sepcial meetings , thus
formally arranging their embattled hosts
against the scried ranks of sin. It is
doubtless the earnest prayer of many
that these meetings may result in good
and grandly. To this end the effort ?
all Christian and well-disposed people
should tend during the few weeks these
meetings may be held. Last year's
work can be excelled by faithful effort
and confidence in the power of the Divine
arm , wnen tne am is invoiced earnestly.
