A Cane Presentation.
Hon. W. J. Bryan passed through this
station on Burlington No. 3 , Monday
night , on his way to Denver , and the
fact was utilized to present him with the
handsome cane voted him during the
late fair and festival by the members of
St. Patrick's church. Rev J. W. Hickey
of the parish delivered a very neat and
clever speech in making the presentation ,
to which Mr. Bryan responded in his
usual , happy way. Notwithstanding the
late hour , after midnight , some 150 or
200 people assembled at the depot to see
and hear Mr. Bryan , who still appears to
be the idol of many. Mr Bryan's pas
sage through the city was not generally
known.
The Good Die Young.
The Beaver City Tribune is our author
ity for the statement that the Danbury
News has turned up its pretty pink toes
to the daisies and that the fatuous Smith
brothers willl establish a paper else
where. Thus another bright , particular
star in the newspaper system is temporarily
arily eclipsed. Ah !
A Little Unusual.
The cold wave came in on schedule
time , Wednesday night. The thunder ,
lightning and heavy shower of rain that 1
preceded the slight fall of snow was
quite unusual for this time of year.

A QUARTER CENTURY
November , 1871 , is the Date of Red Wil
low County's Settlement.
THE FIRST THANKSGIVING DINNER
Was , Eaten in Camp Near the Mouth
of Red Willow Creek And it
Was in Some Respects
Most Unique.
I wonder if any one has thought of
this monih being the twenty-fifth anni
versary of the first settling of the county ?
The first Thanksgiving dinner was eaten
in camp near the mouth of Red Willow
creek , and in some respects was the most
unique Thanksgiving dinner ever eaten.
The eleven men who represented "The
Republican Valley Land and Townsite
company" , had reached theirdestination
the latter part of November , 1871 , and
after locating the Red Willow tOA-nsite
and their respective claims , announced
their readiness to return. Two of the
companykept in camp by allotted duties ,
had no opportunity of attending to in
dividual interests , and looked upon the
proceedings as being extremely selfish
and unjust , and so pronounced it in vig
orous language. The usual way of eating
was in regular camp st le , each as he
pleased , but in deference to the day , this
dinner must be somewhat ceremonious.
The tin plates were arranged as on a
table and all sat around , except the two ,
who were not 3'et in a thankful frame of
mind , and while a blessing was asked ,
one of them , in an aside , muttered quite
sulphurous words. After whiles matters
were to adjusted that the two shared in
advantages taken b } ' the others , and the
lurid atmosphere cleared. Buffalo meat ,
wild turkey and prairie chicken were
eaten with the regulation camp fare ,
among which was the inevitable flap
jacks and syrup. It was too cold for the
syrup to run , so it was cut off in chunks
and lengths as it pressed through the
bung hole of the keg. On occasion , one
would become impatient for his sweet
morsel , and reach over another to secure
the piece for which the first was waiting ,
when exhibition of temper and ready
use ofstrbng words followed. In the
social gatherings of old settlers many
such incidents are recalled , laughed over
and commented and moralized upon.
And so , twenty-five years have passed
and changes are so great and many , that
the young people do not understand the
terms so much used in the early days ,
and when we become reminiscent , ask ,
what a "Homestead" is and the mean
ing of a "Pre-emption" and of "Prov
ing up" . An observer of times and
events will see , human nature ever the
same that , as in the great wide world ,
so it is within the radius of our county.
Lawlessness , peculiar to frontier days ,
has been but little known. In one lo
cality , some later comers , considering it
non-western not to have something wild
and woolly , organized a secret "vigilance
committee" , which would have charge of
public morals and possible horse thieves ,
but it died , at birth , from an overweight
of bombast. Two nij'sterious murders
are on record. Two county seat fights
have brought the county into promi
nence. Churches and school houses
were features of early improvementsand
from the first the better elements pre
dominated. Some have reaped where
others sowed , and the most prosperous
branch of business has been that of the
land agents , but I shall not infringe upon
their rights , by setting forth the wonder
ful and unparalleled advantages of this
section of the "mundane sphere" . Social
conditions have kept pace with public
affairs. Blushes have brightened tears
have been shed some have gone to the
altar some to the tomb. Old things
have passed away the new has come ,
and while men come and men go , we
who have watched the making of a quar
ter century of history , seem to be read
ing a serial , continued from year to year.
We have reached the end of the twenty-
fifth installment and wait and wonder
what next ?
They Gave Liberally.
The parishioners and friends of Rev.
J. A. Badcon of the Methodist church
tendered him a donation party in the
church , Tuesday evening , which was one
of the pleasant affairs of the week. The
giving was liberal and varied , the re
ceiving grateful. In the evening there
was an enjoyable and meritorious , liter
ary musical programme for which the
Methodist brethren have an enviable lo
cal reputation.

highly esteemed citizen of this county.

js a resident of McCook before the great
rBurlingtou strike , her father being at
that time one of the company's best lo
comotive engineers. The deceased's
young friends here will be pained to learn
of her untimely death. The funeral took

the family at 1362 South 15th street.

The New Bath House.
The company's new bath house at this

Makes us Hungry.
The Tribune is carried back to the
early days of McCook's prosperity and
glory , when we read of the multiplied

THE USUAL SUCCESS
The Seventh Annual Fair and Festival
Held in the Opera House
BY MEMBERS OF ST. PATRICK'S CHURCH
On Thursday , Friday and Saturday
Evenings of Last Week-Large
Attendance Each Night.
Liberal Patronage.
The seventh annual fair and festival
I by the members of St. Patrick's church
held in the Menard opera house on the
evenings of Thursday , Friday and Satur
day of last week , was up to their usual
standard of success and afforded ample
opportunities for all on pleasure bent or
seeking investments in the many useful ,
ornamental and eatable articles offered
for sale in the different booths scattered
over the hall.
The arrangement , decoration and gen
eral appearance of the hall were very
tasteful and attractive.
Of the articles on sale there were many
and pretty for useful and embellishing
purposes. They met a ready and profit
able sale.
Those in charge of the refreshments
spread an excellent meal most attractive
ly and fully merited the large measure
of patronage given that department.
The Business Men's table gave every
body a prize , and afforded much inno
cent amusement for all , besides being
helpful in swelling the net proceeds in
an encouraging sum.
The dancing each evening had its
numerous and enraptured devotees ,
whose pleasure was raised to enthusiasm
by the inspiriting music furnished by the
Pythian orchestra.
The ladies in attendance at the sever
al booths were all gowned in picturesque
Japanese costumes , which added to the
gayety of the scene.
The contest over the cane resulted in
victory for W. J. Bryan , to whom the
same was presented , Monday night , on
his way through the city to Denver by a
committee.
All in all the fair and festival was a
marked success in every detail and re-
downs to the credit of the members
whose hard work , together with the lib
erality of the public , produced a social
and financial result so gratifying for these
times.
Good Advice for AH.
The following stray is going the rounds
of the press , and we reproduce it , with
the suggestion that the advice given is
applicable to all , if it has especial value
to the farmer :
"If we were asked to give advice io a
new settler on a Nebraska farm we would
say to him that the failures of the past
are the best lessons to study , and by do
ing these things which have led to fail
ure success will surely follow. Do not
mortgage your laud for farm machinery ,
carpets and parlor organs. Live within
your means , no matter how limited they
may be. Do not pout over hardships or
pine about your fate. Work hard and
keep out of debt and in a few years you
will find easy going. But you will never
find easy going if you expect it uow and
run in debt to get its luxuries. That load
will turn sour before you gethalf through
it. To run in debt on a farm is to cut
off the hope of the future. Of this the
whole country is so full of object lessons
written in broadest characters that you
who run may read" .
Two Things to Remember.
Don't fail to plant some hog millet ,
next spring. Try a few acres ; don't go
in head-over-heels. Make
- - a thorough
experiment in a small way. You will
know better what to do another year.
Have you early corn selected and ready
for early planting in the spring ? A corn
that will mature in about ninety days
will stand a better chance of maturing
than a variety requiring a longer season.
Test these two suggestions carefully
and thoroughly. We believe the results
will be satisfactory.
For the Plaintiff.
Squire Berry on last Friday heard the
suit of W. H. Wells against T. A. Erb to
secure possession of the Commercial ho
tel property , and decided in favor of Mr.
Wells. To which the defendant except
ed. Cost in the sum of 4.05 were taxed
to the defendant , to which exceptions
were also filed.
An Oyster Supper.
The young men of the Ghostly Gang
gave an oyster aupper.Saturday evening ,
at the residence of W. S. Perry , to their
young lady friends. The affair was a
pleasant one , and a large company of the
young folks enjoyed it.
