THE BAND CONCERT
" ' "
*
For the Benefit of the Cemetery Fund
Was Largely Attended.
TWO BOYS ENTERTAIN THEIR FRIENDS
Idea of Establishing : Molasses Mills
Is Not Practical. Important
to All Tribune Readers.
Other Live Items.
The complimentary promenade con
cert given by the Nebraska Brigade baud ,
Tuesday evening , in the A. O. U. W.
temple hall , for the benefit of the im
provement fund of Long view cemetery ,
was a most gratifying and artistic suc
cess , and was attended and participated
in by a large , appreciative and highly
pleased audience.
The musical programme was rendered
as published , last week , and was of rec
ognized grade and high excellence. The
manner of rendition was quite faultless
The successes of the soloists , F. A. Pen-
nell , Roy Smith and John Bergmanweie
fairly divided with the band in ther se
lection from Robin Hood , Descriptive
Fantasia byLuders , Auber'sFraDiavolo ,
and other choice selections.
A considerable sum was realized for
the cemetery fund , and ihe ladies of the
committee are not only very grateful to
the band for their splendid services but
thankful to the public for patronage
accorded.
Entertain Their Friends.
On Tuesday evening , Judd Kay and
Frank Colfer entetained a number of
their friends of the ninth and tenth
grades , at the home of Mrs. Anna Col
fer , in a very happy manner. The boys
were assisted in their entertaining by
Mesdames Anna 'Colfer , W. M. Lewis ,
Z. L. Kay and J. A. Wilcox , and Misses
Maud Cordeal and Mabel Wilcox. Miss
Cordeal favored the company with a
number of choice selections on the piano.
The decorations for the occasion wtrt in
pink effects and very pretty.
Idea is Not Practical.
It is claimed on good authority that
the idea of establishing syrup mills at
various points in the state , to pioduce
beet syrup for refiuing in centrally lo
cated refineries , is at present impractica
ble. The process of beet sugar manu
facturing will not at present warrant such
a course , on account of the increased
cost of production ; and again for the
reason that the process is continuous.
So it seems that for the now we will
have to work along the refinery line if
we hope to secure anything from the beet
sugar industry.
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 consequence
quence many hundreds of dollars are
due on subscriptions. We 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.
Junior Endeavor Social.
The Junior Endeavor society of the
Congregational church held a joyous
social at the residence of C. H. Boyle ,
Saturday afternoon , in which about forty
young people participated with every
indication of delight. Mesdames T. B.
Campbell , M. A. Northrup and C. H.
Boyle had the affair in management. Re
freshments were enjoyed with youthful
relish. Games were engaged in , and the
affair withal was a memorable one for
the little ones.
Desires a Large Attendance.
President Whittaker of the Red Willow
county teachers' association is out in a
neat circular letter urging a full attend
ance of teachers and school officers at the
meeting of the association to be held in
Indianola , Saturday , February 13th.
Too Many Attractions.
The attendance was reduced somewhat
at the Monday evening meeting of Mc
Cook lodge No. 1 , Star of Jupiter , by the
other attractions of the evening. There
was one initiation , however , and the
usual programme of entertainment.
Suit to Collect.
H. P. Sutton has commenced an ac
tion in Justice Berry's court to collect a
school order of district 19 over in Bond-
ville precinct.

It Was Successful.
* The entertainment by the Degree of
fcxonor in the A. O. U. W. temple hall ,
Wednesday evening , was most gratifyingly -
ingly successful , and attracted an audi
ence of abont two hundred people , all of
> vhom were pleased with thelenghtyand
varied programme of a musical and liter
ary character rendered on that occasion ,
is well as with the address delivered by
: he Grand Chief of Honor , Mrs. A. S. B.
Harding. A supper was also serAed , all
for the sum of ten cents. The ladies are
: o be congratulated upon the success of
: heir efforts to entertain and instruct ,
> nd upon the laage audience that assem
bled and appreciated the same.
A Mistake.
It occurs to The Tribune that any
effort to secure a reduction of the saloon
icensewill be a mistake. Better raise
; he issue to place the entire license money
in the school treasury , as contemplated
i > y the Slocum law. Such a movement
.vill secure many votes that will certainly
appose a reduction of the amount of'the
icense.
Lose Their Infant Child.
Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Carter were on Mon-
lay night called upon to mourn the death
> f their infant child of but a few weeks
) ld. The little remains were tenderly

• ow.

PLEASANT SURPRISE
Friends of Miss Lillian Troth Give Hei
a Surprising Surprise Party.
MEAT MARKET HAS A CLOSE ESCAPI
From Fire. Monday Night Ransorr
S. Gordon Fonud Not Guilty ,
City Council Holds an
Interesting Session.
Miss Lillian Troth was the delighted
object and happy recipient of a charming
surprise party , Monday evening , the
twentieth anniversary of her natal day.
Progressive high five was the chiel
source of entertainment , the card play
ing being marked by the usual enthusi
asm and zest. Mrs. C. W. Bronson and
Mr. F. A. Pennell were the respective
prize winners.
x\t an opportune time refreshments ol
a dainty sort were tastefully served. "
The guests were : Messrs and Mes
dames F. A. Pennell , J. E. Kelley , C.W.
Bronson , William McCarl and W. B.
Mills. Mrs. A. Campbell. Misses Elsie
Stanfield , Nellie Brown , Maud Smith ,
Pearl Smith of Red Cloud , Grace San
born , Ona Simons , La Vaughn Phelan of
Alliance , Mabel Jordan. Messrs. W. V.
Gage , Charles Heber , S. C. Beach , H.H.
Miller , Charles McCarl , E. J. Wilcox , T.
E. McCarl , G.-R. Johuson , Norman
Campbell.
The affair was conceived and executed
with such pleasing particulars and clever
circumstances by Mrs. J. E. Kelley and
Miss Elsie Stanfield.
A Narrow Escape.
The meat market of Wilcox & Mit-
craft had a narrow escape from destruc
tion by fire , Monday night. The indica
tions are that some one , about closing
time , in the neighborhood of nine
o'clock , dropped a lighted cigar stub in
the sawdust on the floor. At any rate ,
early on Tuesday morning , when the
shop was opened for business , it was
found that a hole had been burned
through the double floor and the adja
cent counter was scorched a little. The
damage is nominal , but it was a narrow
escape , not only for that structure , but
for the adjoining frame buildiugs as well.
Later We learn that the fire was dis
covered between three and four o'clock
in the morning by Chief of Police Jordan ,
who forced the door and with the aid of
an employe who sleeps in a rear room
extinguished the fire.
A Rich Harvest.
It costs no more to sow good seeds
Chan it does to sew old and worthless
stock. How foolish is the person who
fails to get the best to start with. No
doubt you have often thought of this ,
when your garden has not done very well.
Will you jog along in the same old
way , this year , or use a little forethought
and send to James Vick's Sons , Roches
ter , N. Y. , for their Catalogue which
contains a list of all that's new and good ?
Their seeds are always reliable sure to
grow and never disappoint. Send 10 cts.
for Catalogue and deduct this amount
from first order. Really costs nothing.
A Bad Habit.
The Indianola Reporter affects to sneer
at the late farmers' institute held in Mc
Cook. But really the Reporter has ac
quired the bad taste of sneering at every
thing associated with McCook in any
capacity. It's a bad habit , Colonel ; and
nothing good or desirable can come from
it. Better cultivate the beautiful and
peaceful flower of harmony. Discord is
ever disquieting and disfiguring , not to
say mutually damaging. Give us lovely ,
white-winged peace , Jasper , do !
Found Not Guilty.
The case of the state of Nebraska
against Ransom S. Gordon on informa
tion of John Kunimer for alleged hog
stealing was heard before Squire Ritten-
house , Friday last , to a jury composed
of J. H. Bennett , James McAdams ,
Michael O'Leary , Howe Smith , A. J.
Hatcher and B. F. Olcott. The unani
mous verdict was , not guilty. The quite
general opinion is that the guilty man
still remains unapprehended.
An Interesting Session.
In some respects the session of the
city council , last week , was one of the
most interesting held in many moons.
Thereby hangs a tale that The Tribune
may unfold in due season and form.
Will Keep Our Word.
We will simply remind Colonel Phil
lips that McCook will kep its promise in
the court house matter to the letter.
And don't fail to remember it , brother.

John Dillon -'Wanted the Earth" H H
booked for an early appearance in this j _ _ _ _ _ _ _ H
city. The play is a comic farce , or a far- . H
cial comedy. Its amusing situations fit _ _ _ _ _ _ _
the comedian like a kid glove from his _ _ _ _ H
first entrance until the gentle widow fl _ _ H
rests his bosom at the close of the last _ _ _ H
act. The play is one in which the audience - _ _ _ _ _ _ _
ence itself becomes a part of the company - _ _ _ _ H
pany , and the house and stage enjoy _ _ _ H
alike the fun and the frolic as the plot is |
developed and the exquisitely comical _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
situations are reached. Above everything - _ _ H
thing it is a clean play , there being no _ _ H
word uttered and no situation in any | _ H
scene calculated to offend the most fas- _ _ _ _ _ _ _ H
tidious. Mr. Dillon's date in McCook |
is Monday , February 15th. H
