The formal reception tendered the

From inception to fullest realization ,
every detail was arranged with exquisite

and flowers in.beautiful profusion conm-
- -
pleted the attractive decorative effective.
The pastor and members of the choir
\ in the northwest

, ; ceived their guests' ' most cordially. The
. receiving ladies were out in light evening -
\
ing attire , the gentlemen appearing in
cotrveutional black. Each of them wearing -
ing souvenir boquets of carnations.
During a period of about two hours , the
guests to the number of over two
hundred , continued to arrive and the
scene was unusually animated and
happy.
A brief niusical programme was provided -
. vided , and this was a source of great and
genuine pleasure. Miss Bertha Boyle
rendered two violin solos very , sweetly ,
accompanied by Miss Mabel Perry on
a
the organ. A duet by Mr. Clyde Stoltz
( mandolin ) and Mr , Jolur Stranahan
I i\ \ ( guitar ) so delighted time audience that
are-appearance tyould alone pacify , them.
I i rr. Stoltz also -played a number of
j guitar selections with the happiest effect.
1 Refreshments of a very dainty , description -
scription were served a la Bohemia :
llrs. G. A. Noren presided over the tea
' and wafers. Mrs. J , F. G'anschow at
\ the coffee and sandwiches. Mrs. S. L.
Moench over the raspberry ice. They

S
dames 'V. F . Lawson , Frank Harris.
H. G. Borneman , Albert illcMiileu ,

, Mauigal , Charles Heber.

i
receivers and promoters wili long hold
in illeasa t recollection.
Death of Ollie May McClain.
j Death invaded the home of S. D. Mc-
4 Clain of Coleman precinct , last Saturday -
day , and robbed it of one of its treasured
Jewels. Ollie May , aged fourteen years ,
was the victim and pneumonia the
cause. Everything possible was done to
save the precious life , but to no avail ,
and on last Saturday , her bright spirit
took its flight.
The funeral services were held in the
, ? i Iethodist church of our city on Monday
morning , being conducted by Elder
H. H. Berry. Interent followed in Longview -
view cemetery , the remains being followed -
lowed thither by umauy of the neighbors
and friends.
Another daugher , little Laura , is sick
with the same disease , but is better at
this writing.
THE TRIBDNE voices the sentiment of
all in extending deep and heartfelt sympathy -
pathy to the bereaved and sorrowing
family in this sad hour of loss.
Their Annual Statement.
The annual statement of the McCook
cooperative Building and Saving association -
ation appears in this issue of THE TRIB-
UN I. Considering the hard times and
( the untoward circumstances under which
the association has done business during
the past year , amid in fact for two or
three years past , time statement shomss
. _ th associdtion to be in , very fair condi-
tion' and with a return to prosperous
times the association will doubtless re-
ume its old tine gait. ,
I - A Healthy Growth.
An enjovable time is reported at the
Star of Jupiter meeting , Monday night ,
and a large attendance. After the regular -
lar session at which there were three in-
itiatious , refreshments of a most attractive -
t
tive sort were served. The lodge seems
to be constantly growing in members
and increasing in interest , bidding fair
to soon stand well among the lodges of
its class.

L h
A Few Corrections. '
The loyalty of certaiu Irishmen was
seriously , questioned by a recent lecturer
in this city and the following front Dr.
Charles A. Dana of the New York Sun
of December 29 , 1595 , may throw a little
true light upon the subject : F
A party makes the assertion that the
official records of the late civil war at
Washington show that 76 per cent of
the deserters from the Northern army
during time war were Irish or of Irish
parentage. Another makes time state-
ument that owing to the preponderance
of time Irish element in New York city
at the beginning of time war , the city
threatened to secede and join the Southern -
ern Confederacy , and that people opposed -
posed to these views were murdered in
the streets , children's brains were dashed
out against lamp posts. Will you kindly -
ly say how much truth there is contained -
ed in the assertions ? What proportion
of the different nationalities enlisted on
the Federal side were Irish or of Irish
parentage ? V1iat percentage of these
deserted , and what proportion of the
whole number of desertions from the
army did these men supply ?
A READER OF THE SUN.
The statement as a whole is incorrect.
There is no official return of the number
of enlistments by nationalities , though
unofficial statements exist. From one of
these , which is probably as correct as
any , it appears that there were r5ooo0
enlistments of Irishmen in the Northern
armies. Time provost nmarshal general
places the number of desertions at
201,397 Seventy-six per cent of this
number is just about r5oooo. The absurdity -
surdity of your friend's remarks is self
evident , entirely apart from the fact that
ino official record exists of the nativity
of the deserters. Your second friend's
remarks have a little basis of truth.
Fernando Wood , mayor of the city , of
Quaker ancestry , recommended in Janmu-
ary . IS6r , that New York secede , and
become a free city ; lie did not suggest
that it join the Southern Confederacy.
When time conscription was first enforced
in this city , in July , iS63 , there was a
riot , said to have been instigated by
Southern spies , but this was not because
of love for time Confederacy , but because
of opposition to time draft. Negroes were
indeed murdered by the mob , and the
negro orphan asylum at Fifth avenue
and Forty-third street was burned to the
ground. Time assistant provost marshal
general of the city was Colonel Robert
Nugeut of the Sixty-ninth regiment.
Colonel O'Brien of time Eleventh regiment -
ment was murdered by the mob ; one of
the regiments that harried back to the i
city was the Sixty-ninth. Although
there were many Irish in the mob , the
riots , except as stirred up by time politicians -
cians , were social , not political , in their
nature , and not distinctively Irisim.

BY THE WAY.
A recent invention is that of a process
for rendering illuminating oils solid.
We may be able to burn blocks of it in
our stoves , and the naphtha laden oils
of time Russian oil fields may , be made
valuable , as it is not for lighting pur-
poses. But this is not time significance
of this discovery , as may be supposed.
Its importance is in its suggestiveness
, in the way of other inventions. At any
time now we can expect to see our
papers filled with advertisements of consolidated -
solidated electricity , put up in time form
of pills for time cure of all sorts of lmunman
.ailments. It will come in the forum of
plasters , guaranteed to send hot tremors -
ors and cold chills to the remotest part
of time body. Pictures labeled "Before
and after taking" will lure the unwary ,
and time hard-earned shekels of time Nebraska -
braska farmer will go post haste into the
pockets of quacks down east. It would
not be surprising to find sonic enterprising -
ing firm advertising to cure the droutli
by solidified electricity to be discharged
into the air like a cannon ball.

Ysaye , the violinist , is quoted as say-
jug that the Russians are to lead time
world in nmusic in no long tinme. They
'seem so far to be proving themselves
membersof time slow but sure order of
Inanity. It may be that they have
the artistic sense in a higher degree
than time Teutonic races , and it is well
to remember that out of the darkness
of Russia's midnight tlmerehave come literary -
erary masterpieces that have greatly influenced -
fluenced us in the West. Certainly , too ,
we should-not forget that time Russian
canvasses at time world's fair were aglow
with a rich color , barbaric , perhaps , imm ,
its splendor , and yet betraying a fire of
which we do not ordinarily accuse that
patient people. We nmay well be a little
careful in boasting of our Anglo-Saxon
supremacy. The world's history is not
all made yet.

Government statistics show that this
years's corn crop is the heaviest ever
' rvested , and we can be tlmankful that
the conditions of human existence are
'continually improving. L. G. Powers ,
Minnesota commissioner of labor , says
that "sonme of the years between I 65-70
witnessed an accumulation of riches in
the United States greater than , was at
tamed in time ten years , IS4o-5o. It is
folly to talk of the growing evils of this
great country of ours. We have ammong
us scores of men who could support time
entire population of Red Willow county
during a number of dry years and still
have left an abundance to secure their
own happiness , as well as that of their
cousins and their uncles and their aunts.

At last our great mother commtry
across the Atlantic has succeeded in
choosing for herself a poet laureate to
succeed Tennyson. The choice of Alfred
Austin does not mean that lme is En-
gland's greatest poet ; far from it. He is
simply the apostle of constituted authority -
ity , Roman Catholic in religion , and a
Conservative in politics. He writes
verses in defense , even in laudation , of
Salisbury's aggressive policy in' time
Transvaal , and so the instruments of
oppression find themselves allied with
art. A strange alliance , surely , and one
over which Shakespere and Milton and
Tennyson himself , with all the company
of the mighty-minded , must smile in
pitying scorn.

It appears to be proved that a new
sort of light has been discovered which I
passes through bodies opaque to ordinary -
ry sunlight. It is conjectured that this
will be a help in locating tumors and
lesions in the body , but no one seetiis yet
to have pointed out the inconveniences
that must result from this strange development -
opment of modern science. Now a man
won't dare to 'o home and quarrel with
his wife f r fearthat his neighbor may
happen ; to pass along with a new sort of
lantern at the sane moment. He'll be
egtmally shy of kissiiig her , and the chil-
c1ren will stand around in subdued awe ,
wondering at the strange calm and mm-
demonstrative demeanor of their sire.
Every member of the farm ily will be affected
fected , for how can even tiie baby in the
cradle develop any , warmaffection for
the mother through whose love-lighted
face she can see the smokeof he factory

deadliest blow at the sanctity of the domestic -
mestic altar.

est and most respected citizens , was
suddenly summoned to the spirit land.

and retired in usual health. About five

serious symptoms of illness , but before
assistance could be secured he had
passed peacefully away. The deceased
lacked a few days of being So years of
age , and had been in rather feeble health
for some time.
The funeral services took place on
Friday morning at Io o'cloch from St.
Patrick's Catholic church , Rev. J. W.
Hickey conducting time services , and interment -
terment following in the parish cem-
etery. The two sons , Lawrence and
