The evening hour was devoted to the excellent pro- gramme rendered , no church services rheing held. The different numbers were 'of uniform interest and instructiveness. The preparations were of such unmistakable - takable excellence as to merit a much I larger audience even than was present. iVe give the programme rendered below : PROGRAMME. . .1.-Song . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Society 2.

The failure as reported is the direct result of a demand for county ' a 'funds.

He visited Auditor - tor Moore and State Treasurer Bartley sand found that his county owed the i state $4,800. He had drawn on a county ! deposit of $5,200 which was placed in ' c the bank under the depository law and itlie draft went to protest in the Omaha National bank.

The man who argues that there is a storm somewhere every day , will find good grounds for such a prediction during - ing this month. A look at the storm diagram shows an unusual blending and overlapping of causes. Jupiter still holds his grip , growing in power as he approaches - preaches his crisis in May. Mars is at the center of his period on the 7th , Venus is at the center of her period on the 20th , and earth will begin to increase her disturbing influence sensibly by the 15th. This strong combination of long- period disturbers certainly will augment and prolong all the phenomena in Feb- ruary. The storms originating in January will subside to eastward by the 2d , and the cold wave which followed them will have crossed the country to the Atlan- tic. About the 5th and 6th marked reactionary - actionary storms will transpire , with good chances of being continued past the central days of the Mars equinox on the 7th , the full moon in Perigree on the 9th , and into the Vulcan period , 9th to 13th. Some hard storms will occur , interspersed with unsettled and threatening - ening weather all along these dates : The probabilities are that heavy snow will prevail to the north , but that rains , with lightning and thunder will be the order in the south. Cyclones and tornadoes - nadoes are among the probabilities. Quick and extreme changes to very cold will follow all general storms of the month. The 17th and i8th will bring decided storm conditions , with perhaps a sudden sweeping cold wave , but the temperature will react quickly to very much warmer , the barometer will fall- winds will change to southerly. , and storms of a dangerous character will sweep through the continent from about the 22d to 24th. Look for enormous - mous rains in many sections central and southward , with heavy snow and blizzards - zards all along the northern side of the country. At this time , whenever it turns warm , with south winds and low barometer-no matter if in the far north -expect violent sotrms and carefully watch all threatening clouds. The probabilities - abilities are that dangerous local floods may result from heavy rains impeded by the breaking and gorging of the ice , along the rivers and streams that flow through narrow valleys. Careful and long observation has shown us that the first regular storm period after the centerof Venus period is apt to bring the heaviest storms. Unless this instance proves an exception , the storm period , 20th to 24th , will make a record to be remembered. The lines of the braces show that we look for the heaviest disturbances about the 22d , 23d and 24th. A great cold wave will follow from the northwest-one that may prove a terror to man and beast. The month goes out growing warmer , with reactionary storm conditions in- creasing. PROF. HICKS. St. Valentine Dress Ball. t McCook Lodge No. I , Star of Jupiter , will hold a "St. Valentine Dress Ball" on next Tuesday evening , February 12th , in the Workman temple hall. Everybody - body cordially invited. Represent something - thing and try for the prizes , which will be given in cash , to the persons wearing the two oddest costumes. The grand march will commence at nine o'clock. Ball tickets 75 cents , spectators 10 cents. Tickets for sale by Messrs. Gray and Garrard , L. W. McConnell & Co. , and Albert McMillen.

And too much must not be expected from such a source. The publisher would like to see some of that wood coming in on subscription right away. If you are indebted to the publisher , and can secure the wood , why not bring in a load or two , before nest summer. An obstreperous lamp caused a big commotion in H. Kapke's house , last Friday evening. An alarm was turned in and the fire department quickly responded , but it was not necessary to throw any water. There was small lesser or damage. The Charity Concert. It is with no little pride that the Philharmonic - harmonic club present to the public through' the columns of the Times- Democrat , this week , the programme they will render , Friday evening , February - ary ISth , under the auspices of the King's Daughters. Nothing equaling this , classically , has ever been attempted by amateurs here , and will , we feel sure , be thoroughly appreciated by the music loving people of our city. The Anvil Chorus , introduced by selections from the Opera Il Travatore by Verdi , played by the Brigade band , accompanying the voices in the Anvil Chorus , perhaps deserves more notice than the other numbers on the programme. The entire chorus of 20 voices , accompanied by the full band and orchestra , with the clanging of the anvils - vils , will produce an effect 'never before heard in McCook. Mr. H. P. Sutton will superintend the mounting and playing - ing of the anvils , which fact insures it being properly done. On the whole , the entire programme , without an exception , is of such excellence - lence that it cannot well afford to be missed. Mrs. E. E. Utter as musical director has orked tirelessly , and at this time the results of her labors are gratifying indeed , and the work of the club promises to more than fulfill her expectations on Friday evening. As is well known the proceeds all go to the destitute and suffering among our people , and we venture the prediction that the people will be found , as they always are , on the side of those who are in dire distress. Every ticket bought counts towards helping some one , and iii view of the cause and the great necessity for immediate help , let Menard's opera house be filled as never before to hear the Philharmonic club sing for the sufferers. The Death of John Smith. THE TRIBUNE has investigated the case of John Smith , who recently died up in Allen precinct , Frontier county , about seven miles north of Box Elder , and the cold facts seem to be that the man's death was due to exposure and starva- tion. There was some flour and beans in the house at the time of the man's death , but no bedding , the sick man lying and dying on a heap of old clothes. There was only one stove in the building , which was a miserable one-room sod hut. And "cow chips" had been the sole fuel during - ing the winter. It should be stated , however , that the man's sensitiveness about taking aidand his efforts to keep from the public his true condition , is the reason for the sad state of affairs and tragedy. It is stated that he took special pains to keep away any persons thought to be around looking - ing far just such cases. It is stated that not long before his death , aid was refused - ed , l\lr. Smith saying that he thought they could pull through. The deceased was between 55 and 6o years of age. He leaves a wife and two children. The county of Frontier paid the expenses of interment and has secured - ed the services of a nurse for Mrs. Smith who is also sick. We gather these facts from John White the road overseeer of that district , and from others in that vicinity. The case is a sad one , and no blame is to be attached to any one but the proud and unfortune man himself , perhaps. Resolutions of Respect.

Good wages and other privileges to right party. P. A. WELLS , McCook , Neb. Last week Deputy Internal Revenue Collector Ballew was around distributing - ing the new income tax schedules , where they would do the most good. It did not require a large number of schedules to fill the local demand. Deacon Morlan and his bicycle had a slight misunderstanding , close of last week , in which the Deacon , it must be confessed , came out a poor second ; and somewhat disfigured as to his facial beauty. But the Deacon's voice , happily - pily , came out of the catastrophe uninjured - jured and unimpaired. For which the Lord be praised. McCooK , NEB. , Dec. io,1894. L. W. McConnell & Co. , City. Gentlemeu ; I have had a cough for about i6 years , and have tried all of the popular remedies without being bene- fitted. I used one bottle of McConnell's Balsam and my cough is gone. I therefore - fore cheerfully testify to its merits. Yours truly , LITTLE ANNIE R00NEV. 411 Main Avenue. Mr. MacAyeal tendered his resignation - tion to his church some time ago. It was declined by the church and word to t that effect sent him. He in turn refused to reconsider the resignation , but proposed - posed that the church unite with him in calling a council to consider his dis- missal. At a meeting last Thursday night the church declined to unite with him in calling the council , so that it remains for him to stay here or call an exparte meeting on his own account and force the separation. On Sabbath morning - ing after service he announced that he did not feel like assuming the responsibility - sibility of such a course and thought he had done all he consistently could toward carrying out the resignation and would leave the matter alone with the understanding that the church take the complete responsibility of his continuing pastor. There being no evidence that the church wished to shirk the burden , it looks as if the pleasant relation of the past five years or more would be continued - tinued indefinitely.-Cambridge Kaleid- oscope. THE TRIBUNE will favor bonding the county to secure feed and seed until better satisfied that the farmers of the county do not not need such assistance , or a better plan is presented. We are , however , open to conviction. Two of the most common arguments now in use are barred , vis : selfishness and partisan- ship. They have no place in the discussion - sion or the decision of thequestion. The first consideration is , is assistance neces- sary. The second step follows : How can the assistance be best rendered. This county must do its duty. It must make such provision for its people that is within its ability. We cannot in honor and common decency give up and depend - pend upon public benevolence. It is the duty of the countyy to provide seed and feed for those unable to buy them for themselves , nest spring. We cannot afford to depend on an uncertainty , to lean on a broken reed. We must do the utmost within our power to supplement outside generosity. A people who will not strain every nerve to help themselves are not worthy the benevolence of men or the blessings of God. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder Awarded Gold Meal Midwinter Fair , San Francisco. From California. S. H. Colviu writes fromu Santa Anu , California , that they are all getting along very well. That it has been raining and ; the soil is now in a condition to insure - ' sure heavy crops for the comingsenson. The weather is fine and business of all linds fairlyy good. That lie has had tl.e pleasure of visiting H. W. Kealilter , late of'our city , who has purchased property at Anaheim , 811(1 built liiui a comfortable house.

He says that the orange crop is fine and about ready for the har- vest. No damage as yet from frost , and the price above common. That many eastern people are wintering there. He closes wishing all his old friends in Red Willow countyy a prosperous year. Exceptionally Honored. A good old Methodist lady attending service in a suburban Episcopal church last Sunday became happy under the preaching of the word , amid ejaculated "Glory ! " She was admonished to keep quiet by two of the brethren , and nodded assent , but soon becoming forgetful , responded - sponded "IIallelujah ! " The brethren again called herattention to the annoyance - ance and told her that if slue did not keep quiet they would be compelled to remove - move her. The sermon proceeded , and the old lady , becoming very happy anti forgetful of her surroundings , shouted out : "Glory to God ! " This was too much for the brethren , and they tried to lead her out : but she refused to walk , so t they carried her. On the way she said : "I am honored above my Master , for while lie was carried by an ass , I am carried by two.-Philadelphia Record. - They May Experiment. We understand that the McCook water works companyy is planning to have an experimental well sunk , during time coming - ing spring , in the vicinity of its pumping - ing plant , in order to give the question of water supply a more thorough and complete demonstration. It is proposed to start with atm eight inch hole , to reduce - duce to six inches as the conditions suggest - gest , and finally to four inches. It is stated that a depth of five kindred feet will be attained if necessary. We hope the company will decide definitely to make this interesting experiment. Better Than Ever. THe elegant new instruments for the Brigadeband have arrived and have proven - en very satisfactoryy at the rehearsals held. The band as just organized has already some twenty members , and it is claimed by Director Sutton that the Brigade has better material in it now than ever. lie is very enthusiastic over time prospects for the new organization , amid thinks with proper practice the Brigade will have no superior iii Nebraska , and few equals. There is a quantity of splendid material among the recent acquisitions to the band. The Alphabet Social. There was an unusually large and pleased attendance at the Alphabet social given by the ladies of the Dorcas society in the Congregational church , Tuesday evening. The "Alphabet" feature of time ladies' dime social was quite a hit. Frank Harris formed the most words and got the blocks. The "good night drill" by eight little girls was "just too cute for any use , " or words to that effect. The refreshments , cake , chocolate and coffee , were very appetizing - ing , and were enjoyed by about a hundred - dred and twenty people. AT THE C. O. D. STORE. 20 ?
