f ( alumni , that of Henry Hall , which occurred -
\ curred in Sanbprn , Iowa , March , 1896. i .
- \ And but one marriage , Gertrude Laws
' \ to Will Hardy of Lincoln , where they
i now reside. Mrs. Hardy was not only
r the first graduate of the high school , but
tt she is the only graduate who has com
f pleted the Nebraska university course.
Quite a percentage of the. alumni are
dispersed over the country : Helen A.
Davis resides Washington , D.C. , where
' she has gained some fame in artistic
' pursuits. Mary O'Brien is living in
Chicago , Levi Sanderson and Della
} Johnston in Salt Lake City : , Utah. Au-
gusta and Susie Hunt are in Boulder ,
Colorado , where they have continued
their studies in some degree in the state
university. Sylvia Williams is teaching
in Broadhead , Wisconsin. Selma Noren
is in the state university at Lincoln.
A May Seaman resides in Beatrice , Neb.
Mamie Chapin in Ashtabula , Ohio , and
Orla LeHew in Oskaloosa , Iowa. May
\ Stuby is teaching in the public schools
i atSheridan/Wyoniing , and Lillian Troth
t is pursuing her study of music in Phila
delphia. Winona Peterson is making
her home in St. Louis. Maud Cordeal
is continuing her musical studies in
1
.
.
Y4d.Y
Denver , where Arthur Douglass is in the
Burlington employ. Norma Noble is in
Bethany , Mo. , and Elmer Kay has a
promising position in Joplin of the same
state. Addie Hanlein is pursuing her
studies in the state university at Seattle , ,
Washington. Grace Waldo is in Sheri-
dan , Wyoming , where she has been
teaching in the public schools. Mane
Gibbons is improving herself in music
at the Orleans conservatory. Nettie
Cooley is in the Beaver valley near Cedar
Bluffs : , Kansas.
The absence of a class in 1891 is explained -
plained by.the fact that a grade was added
to the system in 1891. Previous to that
year there were but eleven grades in the
system.

THE STAR OF JUPITER
The Hot Weather Does Not Effect the
Attendance at All.
MORE COMMODIOUS QUARTERS
Are Demanded , However , for the
Comfort the Members--An
Enjoyable Program.
As usual the hall of McCook lodge No.
I , Star of Jupiter , was crowded at the
Monday evening session , when eight
new members were duly initiated into
the order. The lodge decided to hold a
picnic some day week after next , and a
committee of five was appointed on ar
rangements , to report at the next Mon-
day evening meeting of the order. It is
likely that the picnic will be held on
Red Willow creek and that arrange-
ments will be made for transportation to
and from Red Willow by rail. The
lodge also voted to ask the supreme
lodge for a dispensation remitting to
September 1st the fees for beneficiary
certificate and medical examination ,
amounting to $1.50.
The business of the lodge completed the
meeting closed , and the entertainment
for the evening followed. There were a
number of recitations , reading , vocal and
instrumental numbers all of which were
greatly enjoyed , indeed for the most part
the programme was distinctly meritor
ious and met the approval of the audi-
ence of members and friends that
thronged the lodge rooms to the hall -
way. .
It is expected that the South Side
friends will have their dramatic enter-
tainment ready for the meeting on Mon
day evening next.
Improvements Proposed.
The present condition of the Star
route branch of the postal service in
this section was the object of the visit
and investigation of \V .C. Vandervoort , a
prominent member of the service from
Omaha , Tuesday ' of this week , and THE
TRIBUNE is pleased to state that the
probabilities are that this branch of the
service will be carefully and thoroughly
overhauled and a number of material
improvements will likely be made in the
interest of those now receiving Star route
service from this point.
It may be said that the Star route ser-
vice has not been as closely looked after
as other branches of the postal service ,
not here alone but generally , and as Mr.
Vandervoort has recently been given spe-
cial charge of this branch of the service ,
improvements may be expected soon in
the line of promptness in the delivery
of mail. It is just possible , too , that
some changes may be made in the place
from which some of the routes start , in
the interest of better and quicker ser-
vice , and this may necessitate the loca-
cation of one or two of the mail carriers
in McCook. :
Moved This Week.
The Shevlin house , recently bought by
the Episcopal people , has this week been
moved in onto the parsonage lots just
immediately south of the chapel , where
it will be overhauled and placed in read-
iness for occupancy by Rector Knox and
family. It will make a commodious and
comfortable parsonage and at a very
reasonable price.

A Landmark Torn Down. -
Mrs. Vina Wood is having the enclosed
tower , tank and windmill on her resi
dence property in the city torn down ,
this week , which will improve the appearance -
pearance of her property very much. It
has been useless for some time and not
ornamental.
Their Fears Realized.
Bruce Magee , a brother of Mrs. J. E.
Robinson and E. E. Magee of our city ,
died in Lincoln on Tuesday morning , of
consumption of the blood. The funeral
took place on Wednesday afternoon.
They have the ten er. sympathy of many
McCook friends in this bereavement.

ble in price. We also do engraving of
cards and embossing of letter paper. See

Ell Finally Gets Here.
Eli A. Barnes , president of the state
agricultural society , arrived in the city , '
. last Friday evening , remaining here on ;
business - over Saturday. One of the pur-
poses of his visit was to hear and secure
a bid from the Nebraska Brigade band
of our city to play during the state fair.
After much exertion a portion of the
hand was assembled in their band hall ,
Friday night after the arrival of the
train , and some selections were played
in order to give the gentleman an idea
of the band's qualifications. The presi-
dent also did some missionary work for
the next meeting of the society , urging
especially that the county makean effort
to secure a premium in the county col-
lective exhibit at the fall meeting of the
association in Omaha , August 27th to
September 5th.
.
About an Inch of Rainfall.
The two showers of last week , accord-
ing to the Burlington gauge here , gave
us .91 of an inch of rain. The first
shower amounted to .20 of an inch hut
that of Friday night added .71 of an
inch , making almost an inch. The small
grain was in condition to need the precipitation -
cipitation , after the continuous winds of
the preceding week or more ; and the
rains have caused a feeling of satisfac
ticn and encouragement to prevail among
the farmers. The rain in some portions
of the county was not so heavy , while
in others the precipitation was greater.
Generally speaking the county's crops
are in fine shape , and the season is a
month in advance of last spring.
Should Have an Exhibit.
One of the leading features of the state
fair are the county collective exhibits.
S3i375 i iu premiums are offered , divided
into twelve parts. Red Willow county
should make an exhibit this year : without -
cut fail , and it is not too early now to
commence preparations for so important -
The divided -
ant an event. premiums are -
edas follows : ist - $600 ; 2tl - $500 ; 3d -
$400 ; 4th - $350 ; 5th-$300 ; 6th - $250 ;
7th-$225 ; 8th - $200 ; gth - $175 ; loth -
$150 : . . mh - $125 ; i2th - $100.
, Tenth Grade Picnic.
I
A portion of the Tenth grade , with
their Invited ; friends , indulged in a pic
nic at Bolles" grove on the Red Willow
creek , last Saturday. Though conditions
were not the most favorable , the
young people had an enjoyable time and
are apparently none the worse for their
damp outing.

PERSONAL MENTION.
A. D. KING , Culbertson's candidate
for state treasurer , was a city visitor ,
Monday evening.
O. N. : MAGEE was delayed here until
Wednesday night , by illness. He left
for Lincoln on No. 4.
J. D. GOODWIX and wife of Wauneta
were Commercial guests , Wednesday ,
going up the branch yesterday morning.
Face the Music.
In declining to prepare and sign a
petition requesting Judge Norris to call
a special term of district court for Red
Willow county , District Court Clerk
Boatman , Sheriff Neel and others , we
apprehend , were on safe ground.
Doubtless , if the business of this
county demands the holding of a spe-
cial term of court , it is the duty of Judge
Norris to call the same at his earliest
for peti-
convenience , without waiting a
tion from officers and lawyers who have
a pecuniary interest in the matter.

Another Milestone.
Last week THE McCooK TRIBUNI
rounded its fourteenth year and this
week the paper enters upon the fifteen )
year of its existence. For thirteen years
the paper has been owned and published
by the present editor. These years have
been years of blended prosperity and adversity -
versity , failures and successes , trials and <
triumphs.
In the past the publisher has been actuated -
tuated by the impulse and motive to give
the people of Red Willow county a :
newsy , clean , conscientious and coura-
geous newspaper. And the past is the
best guarantee and earnest of the future.
We have no new plans , policies or prom
ises , but so long as THE McCoOK TRI
BUNE is owned and controlled by its
present publisher its mission will be to
stand up for Nebraska and to be counted
for Red Willow county and McCook re-
gardless. Incidentally , we shall aim to <
make people happy and a livelihood for
THE PUBLISHER.
Another Grocery Store.
J. J. Garber of Red Cloud was in the
city , first of the week , looking over the
city with the view of establishing him
self here in the grocery business. lIe <
was so impressed with the outlook here
as well as with the present condition of
the city that he determined to locate
here. lie consequently leased the store
room now occupied by Mrs. M. E. Bar-
ger , and will open a stock of groceries
in the same about June ' ist.
It is his announced purpose to give
McCook a new stock and a fine one.
To Subscribers of The Tribune.
Readers of THE TRIBUNE will please *
remember that cash is an essential in
the publication of a paper. The pub-
lisher has been very lenient during the
past few years , on account of crop fail-
ures and hard times , and as a conse-
quence many hundreds of dollars ar ; >
due on subscriptions. are now com-
pelled to request all who can to call and
make settlement in full or in part. In
view of the facts , our subscribers must '
feel the justice and urgency of this re -
quest. THE PUBLISHER.
To Aid the Armenians.
Almost every daily paper contains an
appeal for assistance in Armenia , show-
ing the awful distress and want. It has ;
been arranged with the pastors of the
different churches and G. A. R. post to
take up a collection at the memorial un-
ion service , Sunday morning , to be forwarded -
warded to the Red Cross society for their
work in Armenia. Everyone come pre-
pared to assist in this contribution.
Harbingers of Prosperity.
The ubiquitous traveling man - thai
harbinger of better times-is becoming
and numerous'is
a more frequent more numerous \ -
itor to McCook. And we note the pres-
ence of some familiar faces among those
returning with samples of their wares.
They are as welcome as the flowers that
bloom in the spring , tra la.
Something of a Roaster.
The McCook correspondent of the In-
dianola Courier is something of a roaster
himself , and has excited no little curios-
ity in this community as to his identity.
His correspondence is an oasis in tin
otherwise dreary desert.
