rai > FIFTEENTH YEAR McCOOK , RED WILLOW COUNTY , NEBRASKA. FRIDAY EVENING. FEBRUARY 12. 1897. NUMBER 39 ' { < II II
H If = = = = = = = = = = = =
K ft A Trip Across Two Ranges.
Hfll \ Taking Denver as the starting point
flflf \ we will follow the Denver & Rio Grande
B V railroad for a while. But before starting
Hn we will take a look at the tourist car. It
fl Pf is not quite as handsome as the palace
fljflfi cars , but for people of inodeiale means
I H Kr it is much the best on account of its con-
H B ) venience and cheapness , as the passen-
flflfe ) Ker has a place to cook aud a good wide
flflpberth in which to sleep. One can make
Bk V coffee , fry meat and bake potatoes. There
E * y is a conductor , aud a porter accompanies
B the car through to the Pacific coast. The
fljfl * | iare from Chicago to any point on the
HM& \ coast is five dollars.
H 't Leaving Denver at 8:45 e commence
I Ki 7\ our journey across the plains. The first
fl K * * " * - place of any importance is Castle Rock.
B _ There is a station here , but not much of
Qr V j a town It is thirty-three miles from
fRf { Denver. I can only give a description
KJn of the most important places , as itwould
flA take too much space to go into details.
fl B * The next place is Palmer Lake , where
B K ' the train stops about ten minutes to Jet
fll ] the passengers see the lake , which prob-
B&i ably covers twenty acres and is a very
fl iij pretty little body of water.
flPLeaving the lake , we next stop at ColBy -
By orado Springs , a fashionable summer re-
Bn sort and quite a bustling little city. Here
l we find three towns close together , Col-
florado City and Manitou being the other
fltwo places in the trio , while Pike's Peak
fl looms up in the distance to our right.
Qb- Manitou cannot be seen very plainly
HT t , from the railroad on account of the sur-
Ht rounding hills.
H TC Next comes Pueblo , where we stop for
Pj $ ' dinner , changing engines and crews. We
flK are now 120 miles from Denver. This is
H one of Colorado's busiest cities , and ap"
fl . pears to have two or three lines of rail-
E4 way. The city is built at an elevation of
H > 4,668 feet and impresses one as being a
B. lively , prosperous industrial city. More
K next week. C. W. Roper.

Er Death of Miss Murphy.
flKM' " ' Miss Lizzie Murphy , sister of Mrs.Wil-
HvV Ham Francisco , with whom she has been
fl ) living here , died shortly before noon on
Vt Sunday , of consumption and heart dis-
flease. . The remains were on Monday
PjfHy " * morning shipped to Red Cloud for inter-
KiK > ment. This is the third or fourth fatality-
jj B fc in this family within the past year from
the disease. Relatives here
3 < same accom-
B panied the remains. The deceased Was
Bw an estimable young lady and the be-
H | ) reaved ones have deep sympathy of all.
flfln Marriapre of a Late Resident.
BS The Tribune takes pleasure in an-
B nouncing the marriage of Miss Ella
flL Mitchell , who for two or three years
Bff made her residence in our city with her
B sister , Mrs. H. H. Berry , to J. W. Ben-
K son of Springfield , Illinois , where the
B event took place on the 9th of this month ,
Hu and where they will make their future
fl'ff home. We express the sentiment of
H < many friends here in wishing them a
H. happy and prosperous married life.
H ; ' ' \ More Uniforms.
JB The Knights of Pythias are looking
vBl up , especially the Uniform Rank. Fif-
K teen new uniforms have just been or-
B. dered , and with the thirty-five now in
fl' tne ran > w make a splendid showing.
| fl Besides some new vestments are making
BB [ for degree work , which will add to the
Qk fine paraphernalia of the order , which is
B Bf well in the front rank among McCook's
k many orders.

H L An Ice rge ,
B Bt n Ice g ° rge formed in the river at a
Bf ( point a little west of the west bridge ,
HK \ rstof the'week , throwing quite a vol-
0' unle of water over the valley between the
H river and the bluff on the north. This
B seems to be a favorite place for gorges to
B form , one a year or two since having
B flooded the pumping plant of the water
BK works.
Bm Is Expected Here.
5BL It is expected that Mr. Balling-Booth
yS | of Salvation Army fame , now in Denver.
HK will stop over in our city , for a brief
HB * > while , on his way east. It is not known
just when , "but he may be expected any
B time soon. He is a speaker of power ,
r and famous as the head of the Salvation
Bi Army movement.
BB | Look After
Bfl | We hear it rumored that there is a
H gambling joint in occasional operation
H over on West Dennison street of a rather
Bj unsavory reputation. It is also stated.
B B that a few young girls at times frequent
H | the resort. This perhaps merits attention
H , at the hands of the police department.
B J v . Coal Claim Cleared.
H K We are officially assured that the inters
H \ ) ( esting event referred to in this paper as
Bf having recently transpired in municipal
Bff . circles has been satisfactorily explained
H and the claim in dispute has been audit-
K ed by the committee and warrant ordered
B issued in payment.

Dunne of St Patrick's church , performed
the ceremony. It was a quiet home wed
ding , only the .relatives of the bride and
groom with a very few intimate friends
being present. The kind expressions of
a host of well-wishers was evinced , not
only in 11 large number of costly gifts in
many different forms , but in a wealth of.
cut flowers which adorned the rooms oft
the handsome home and graced the
tables which held the weduiug breakfast.
The bride was exquisitely gowned in
white moire , trimmed about the throat
and shoulders with snowy chiffon She
was very charming in the rich simplicity
of her costume as she joined the groom ,
having come in upon the arm of her
father. The groom was attired in con
ventional black and the couple were at
tended by little Helen Calkins , who acted
as maid of honor aud , in her dainty robes ,

tiful picture. Following the ceremony

devoted study , have won for her the ad
miration of all who have known her.
Eau Claire Telegram.
With Growing Interest.
The revival services of the united
churches of the city have been held in
the Congregational church , this week.
The attendance has been large and the
interest seems to be widening and deep
ening. Besides the local pastors , Revs.
Ringland and Montgomery have been
assisting in the preaching and varied
services. Prayer and praise meetings
precede each regular service , besides cot
tage prayer meetings are being conduct
ed in various sections of the city. Chris
tians are being thoroughly awakened to
the spiritual needs of the community ,
and the field is being put in readiness
for an expected great revival of religious
interest and life in this city and vicinity.
The meetings at Holdrege have closed
with over 300 conversions , aud it is ex
pected that Major Cole will be well
enough he has been suffering with a
severe attack of the grip to be here by
Sunday , and it is fondly hoped that he
may be a humble instrument in divine
hands to bring many to Christ and the
church.
Major Cole Coming.
A letter from Major Cole , this Friday
morning , states that he is better and
that he will reach McCook at 9 o'clock ,
Saturday evening. He will conduct the
union meeting , Sunday evening. In nine
weeks the Major had 330 conversions at
Hastings. In three weeks there were 310
conversions at Holdrege with 127 in
smaller towns reached since the work
closed at Hastings , making 767 conver
sions since his work began at Hastings
in November.
The conditions are now more favorable
for a great revival at McCook than they
were either at Holdrege or Hastings. The
Major , who has conducted meetings in
the largest cities of Great Britain and
this country with great success during
the past twent3'-five years , is deeply in-j
terested in developing a campaign in
this needy part of the great Home Mis
sion field and McCook is one of the cen
tral , strategic points he has been looking
forward to. A very large circle of inter
ested , praying friends are following the
Major in this campaign and for some
time McCook will be attracting the at
tention of numerous friends not only in
this cogntry , but in Great Britain. The
campaign is on in McCook.
St. Valentine will have a quiet day of
it , Sunday. But there will be ample op
portunity for the display of poor taste in
the way of sending "comics" , as well as
of indicating a tender sentiment by gtv- '
ing the more ornate and amorous valen- ,
entine.

be about the right thing.

unteer Fire department elected the following - 1
lowing officers for the ensuing year :
Frank Burgess , chief ; Ed. Jordan , assist
ant chief ; George Leach , secretary , and
C. G. Coglizer , treasurer. A committee ;
was appointed to see about establishing ;

A musical and literary programme will ,
be given by the Star of Jupiter on next .
Monday a week , and something good

Illinois and Nebraska Compared.
In the weekly Courier of Jan. 12 I no
tice the following paragraph :
"Farmers in Illinois ought to sympa
thize with their Nebraska agricultural
brethren. Corn commands 10 to I2 >
cents a bushel in Nebraska. In Illinois
the prevailing price is 16 cents. Many
say the farmer cannot raise corn at 10
cents a bushel , but the Nebraska farmer
auswers it is 10 cents or nothing" .
Now why should the Illinois farmer
turn his sympathies loose on his Ne
braska brother. We should like to sug
gest to him before he does so that he
pause and think ; for when we take into
consideration that an acre of ground
worth $15 which produces 55 bushels of
corn and sells at ten cents per u hel , is
compared with an acre of ground worth
$80 , which produces 60 bushels aud sells
for 16 cents per bushel , we find that sym
pathy is not so much what is needed , be
cause the man who produces 55 bushels
on the acre of ground worth $15 and haste
to sell it for 10 cents per bushel receives
$5 5 ° i or 36 cents on each dollar invested
in that acre. This is not so bad while
on the other hand , the man who has $ So
dollars invested in an acre of ground ,
produces 60 bushels of com and sells it
for 60 cents per bushel , receiving 60or
12 cents on each dollar he has invested.
This is bad , indeed , and if there is really
any need of sympathy the Illinois farm
er onght to have it. But this is not all.
The Nebraska brother puts eighty acres
to corn and cultivates it all with one
team. Then when gathering time comes
he goes to the field , stands straight up ,
the ears waist high , enabling him to
shuck his corn with ease. The Illinois
farmer does not fare so well. He must
have two teams and a hired man to cul
tivate 80 acres o : corn properly , and
when gathering time comes he has got
to stand on his head while he shucks his
corn. It was so at least when I lived
there , and that is not so long ago. I do
not deny that corn is very cheap , but so
is everything we farmers have to buy.

A Wine Room Escapade.
The chief of the agricultural depart
ment of this paper is advised of quite a
sensational escapade that occurred , the
other night , in a certain wine room of
the city , in which a prominent traveling
man , a leading citizen , and two fly fe
males were in the leading roles. But it
would make more appropriate reading
and illustration for a police newspaper
than for a family necessity like The
Tribune.
Serum Therapy in Hog Cholera.
A bulletin has just been issued by Ag
ricultural experiment station of the state
university on Serum Therapy in Hog
Cholera. The experiments reported
show that out of 1,176 animals treated
56 per cent were saved. A copy can be
secured by applying to the experiment
station of Nebraska university at Lincoln ,
Nebraska.
Large and Luscious.

This week , George Hocknell received
a case of superb navel oranges from his
orchard in California , and the publisher
acknowledges his part in the disappear
ance of some elegant samples. They
were large and luscious , showing the
product of Mr. Hocknell's orchard tjO beef
of finest quality and of uncommon size.
For the Honor.
In view of the considerable increase in
our municipal taxes The Tribune would
like to see a mayor and councilmen
elected , the coming election , who would
be willing to serve without pay. It
would lighten the burden a little at least.
Do we have a second to the motion ?
Practice Economy.
In view of the largely increased taxa
tion for 1896 it behoves McCook to prac
tice economy in her municipal and edu
cational affairs. 1896 taxes are almost
fifty per cent higher than 1895 taxes.
In view of the Union meetings , the
ladies of the M. E. church have post
poned their Washington Dinner and Fair
until March 13th.
The postoffice is still located in the
Strasser building , although some records
have been moved to the new location.
