Br The change came about noon last Satur-
Bf day , since when we have had pretty snug
Hfi winter indeed , with high wind part of
B the time and two or three inches of snow
B , the rest of the week. The thermometer
_ Y ; touched in the neighborhood of twenty
Bflr degrees below zero once , and reached the
9L vicinity of zero a number of times. The
P Bu ? cold wave prevailed all over the country ,
B _ _ Lr being very severe in the Dakotas and
U ? Minnesota. Even-Texas had a chilly
BB touch of old Jack Frost.

A Few Congratulations.
The selection of Bro. F. M. Kimmell
of The McCook Tribune as president
of the state press association was a just
recognition of one of the best publishers
in Nebraska. We extend hearty con
gratulations. Hastings Democrat.
F. M. Kimmell of The McCook Trib
une was elected president of the Ne
braska Press association at the Grand
Island meeting , last week. No better
selection could have been made among
the many qualified ones. F. N. Merwin
was of course re-elected secretari'-treas-
urer. Hayes Center Republican.
At the State Press association , last
week , F. M. Kimmell of The McCook
Tribune was elected president of the
association for the ensuing years. F. N.
Merwin of the Beaver City Tribune was
. South-
re-fiectedsecretaryand treasurer. -
wist Nebraska gets there with both feet
when she undertakes it. Orleans Pro
gress.
The southwestern part of the state was
honored by the election of three officers
of the State Press association at the meet
ing in Grand Island , last week. They
are : F. M. Kimmell , McCook , president ;
F. N. Merwin , Beaver City , secretary-
treasurer ; S. R. Razee , Curtis , vice-pres
ident for 5th congressional district.
Stockville Republican.
This paper takes great pleasure in ex
tending congratulations to F. M. Kim
mell of The McCook Tribune , who
was elected president of the Nebraska
Press association at the meeting held at
Grand Island , last week. The associa
tion could not have made a better choice ,
and no doubt Mr. Kimmell feels grateful
for the honor conferred. Trenton Reg
ister.
Bros. F. M. Kimmell of The McCook
Tribune and F. N. Merwin of the Bea
ver City Tribune were highly honored at
the late meeting of the Nebraska Press
association. The former was chosen
president for the ensuing year , while Mr.
Merwin was re-elected secretary-treas
urer. Both are among the brighest news
paper boys of the state. Oxford Stan-
ard. ,
The Farmers' institute.
The work of the Farmers' Institute
was pretty well covered in last week's
Tribune. However , we went to press
too early to secure the list of delegates
selected to go to the beet sugar conven
tion in Hastings , February 2d and 3rd :
Frank Stillman , August Droll , S. G.
Goheen and J. R. Neel of McCook , and
L- . Morse of Benkelman. This committee
is burdened with the duty of making an
effort to secure a beet sugar factory at
McCook , and perhaps the question of
transportation and expenses is urging it
self upon the members. The greatest
drawback the institute felt , perhaps , was
the small attendance. It seems to be
difficult to interest farmers in such meet
ings for sundry reasons. But a start was
made and it is expected to be able to se
cure better results in the future.
Card of Thanks.
Editor Tribune : We desire to ex
press our sincere thanks through your
paper to the kind friends and neighbors
who assisted us through the sickness and
last sad rites of our dear father. We de
sire to mention Frank Stillman and fam
ily , W. N. Rogers and Herman Pade ; C.
E. Magner and J. F. Forbes of the B. &

HOUSE BURNS DOWN
W. T. Wooten's
Residence in West Mc
Cook Destroyed by Fire ,
LAST FRIDAY EVENING AT 9 O'CLOCK
Fire Department Arrived Too Late
To Accomplish Much Part
of the Household Furni
ture Was Saved.
The dwelling of W. T. Wooten of West
McCook was completely destroyed by
fire , last Friday evening , about nine
o'clock , together with much of its con
tents. Fire originated in the kitchen
and was well under way when discovered.
Origin is unknown , presumably resulted
from a defective flue. The fire depart
ment responded to an alarm , but the
building was practically destroyed by the
time the firemen arrived on the scene , so
much time being consumed in bringing
word from that remote part of the city.
The house is insured for $300 ; the furni
ture but $100. Most of the contents of
the sitting room were saved. The lessen
on the house is small ; but in furniture
and household effects generally will be
quite heavy. Mr. Wooten and family
have the genuine sj-mpathy of all in
their loss. He desires to thank the fire
department for the effort made to save
his property. He thinks that if a fire
alarm box had been located in West Mc
Cook so that an alarm could have been
turned in promptly , the result might
have been a little different at least. As
it is a building on fire in West McCook
is likely to be destroyed by the time word
is carried to the city and the department
arrives at the fire.
SCHOOL NOTES.
Miss Maude Doan circulated among
her friends at the school , Friday last.
Mrs. Fergison of the 2d and 3rd grades
east , spent Sunday at home in Oxford.
Rev. Sheafor , the Baptist minister ,
talked to the assembly room people , last
Friday.
Mr. Erwin Hopt of the 7th aud 8th
grades visited his parents at Bartle3 over
Sunday.
Misses LaVaughn Phelan of Alliance
and Jennie McClung of Indianola were
school visitors , Thursday.
The pupils of the assembly are still
wrestling with the difficulties of spelling
and the rules governing same.
The teachers of the West ward were
pleasant visitors at the seat of overn-
meut in the east , Monday morning.
John Bergman of Hastings , a cornet
player of the first class , rendered a very
effective solo at the lantern class of Fri
day evening last to the evident delight
of all present.
There was no school at the Westward ,
Monday morning , owing to the cold <
weather , which rendered it impossible ,
for the janitor to induce the rooms to become - 1
come warm enough for habitation.
Archie Tyler of the 8th grade was
presented with a brand new reader by his '
superintendent , Wednesday , for being '
the foremost of the assembly pupils in :
guessing a connecting link in a story ;
which had been read to them.
The different grades of the assembly
will have a spelling contest , this afternoon - ;
noon , and the grade that does the best ;
will have a half holiday some time when ;
skating is good. Verily there is more j
than one way to teach the rising genera
tion how to spell.
A new office was created in the special
work department , this week ; that of
office librarian , who will have charge of
all books in the superintendent's office ,
which he will occupy during school
hours. Earl Ludwick of the 12th is apt
to secure the coveted position.
Last Friday evening's lantern class
was of the usual merit , and was largely
attended. The talk by our superintend
ent on the Scotch views was very in
structive and every one left with abetter ,
and clearer knowledge of Scottish his- _ '
tory. The performance was repeated on
Staurday night to a small house , owing ,
to the frigidity of the weather. "
Lantern class tonight at S o'clock. <
Enoch Arden is the subject of the loan 1
collection of slides , and the exercises
will be in charge of the 9th grade , the I
members of which will each present a i
part of this beautiful poem. The second 1
part will consist of a story by Mr. Valentine - 1
entine entitled , "A Congo Missionary 1
Number Three" . Plenty of good music. <
No lantern class tomorrow night , as
there will be but one performance this 1 t
week , so govern yourselves accordingly , j
