Mr. R , A Russell , the mis- V * sionary in charge , will be duly installed. A / A cordial invitation is extended to the H people of McCook to attend and avail B' N themselves of the rare privilege of hear- m \ ing so eminent a prelate as Bishop Graves. , Bj THE PROSPECT. Beginning with next Sunday , the Epis i copal church of McCook enters upon a _ new era in its corporate life. The vicis- K ( situdes of the past have been many and V varied , and disheartening. The course Kt of true love has not always run smooth- B \ ly. A better star is in the ascendant. HtPerfect harmony reigns , a great zeal has r' been awakened , and a gratifying enthu- BTl siasxn is being evinced. A gradual deep- W N ening of the spiritual life is being mani- Uy ' fested , and regular services will be main- K tained. 0 H THE CHOIR. | K ) The "old reliable" choir that has done H ) loyal service heretofore , will continue teL L _ serve and will be augmented by new ac- Hr > cessions. No pains will be spared to make Bv the music at St. Alban's a worthy accom- m pauiment to the worship of Almighty Vji' God. New music is to be procured of A * the best and most churchly type , and the B constant endeavor of the choir will be to BHBJr"worship the Lord in the beauty of holi- BHflh uess" . In the near future the organiza- BHb tion of a surpliced choir will still further BhV add to the musical excellence of the ser- BBV vice. An opportunity will be afforded BHK for the training of boys who show prom- BHBl. ise of good voices and exemplary life. BHft , Attention will be given to the faultless BHH f execution of high class music , and it is BHK expected that not only will a model BhM cliurch choir thus be formed , but a inus- BHb. ical organization which will deV itself Ji to the study and rendition of concert H' work of the highest class. K THE GUILD. BHA For many years past the Ladies' Guild HK of St. Alban's church has been a great BBBjk factor in the work of the parish. The BoBW Guild will now devote itself with renew- BBBXt ed energy to the work of the upbui * , ing BBV of the Episcopal church in our city. No BBYj .stone will be left unturned , socials and' ' BBBV entertainments will be given , needle- BBBV , work will be done and missionary work BBBJ of every kind will be taken up. B , OTHER SOCIETIES. BBBk. As soon as the time shall seem ripe , BBAvhich i time , it is hoped , is not far dis- BMytant , other organizations will spring into BBhJ being. A chapter of the Brotherhood of _ _ _ _ _ _ _ K St. Andrew will enlist the energies of the young men. Both Mr. Russell and the BBl | enthusiastic lay reader of the parish , Dr. BBli Samuel C. Beach , are already members BJk of the order. Dr. Beach , in particular , BBVP has had large and varied experience in _ BirChicago , both as a Brotherhood man and BBlj | } as director of the chapter of the church BBat'l of the Epiphany , one of those extensive Hfl ? metropolitan parishes which make the BBaW history of the Episcopal church , and Bkyv which are such powerful instruments for BBH&P' God's work among all sorts and condi- Bf' tionsofmen. Another organizationthe 1' Daughters of the King ( an order not to BH | be confounded with the King's Daugh- BJf ter's , a younger and interdenominational K > society , ) will constitute the vehicle for _ _ _ _ Bi the enthusiasm of our young women. Its BBBv scope and purpose is similar to that of _ _ Kpt the Brotherhood of St. Andrew and will 5v' ? be a power for good among the ecclesi- fc j astically unattached young women of Bjfef McCook. BBB THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. BB * For many years the Sunday school Hj | work of the Episcopal church depended | fl ? 1 solely upon the self-sacrificing efforts of B ? { a noble and devoted communicant of K this church. It has been a monument to _ B the piety and zeal of one consecrated BX woman. But for this nucleus there would V i be no basis for Sundaj'school work. The HT \ accession of Dr. Beach as superintendent H\ will develop this work and bring to per- H fection the fruit of years of patient toil BBk in the service of the master. Accessions BBf to the ranks of the school , renewed zeal Kf " \ and re-awakened enthusiasm gladden BW I the hearts of all interested. Some new R J y. methods will be introduced , prizes will mtf r be awarded for faithful attendance , good B \ deportment and for zeal in bringing in H tf new scholars to the sessions of.theschool. BTl' A Sunday school library will be procured. Bv V From time to time entertainments and Wrl \ picnics will be provided and it is hoped B11 that the increase in the number of f scholars will steadily continue under the MM present efficient management.

THE LAD IS VERY PAINFULLY BURNED But Is Getting : Along : Nicely Ac cident Should Prove a Warn ing : to all Children in the Future. Sunday evening , little Bud Bailey , youngest son of Engineer and Mrs. C. M. Bailey , formed a combination with a match , that came near ending the little fellow's earthly career in a tragic and untimely way. Securing a match , the youth retired to the alley in rear of their home to have a little Fourth of July cel ebration all by himself. In a brief while the members of the family were alarmed by piercing cries of pain. In lighting the match , the little fellow's blouse had caught fire , and he retreated to the house in great distress for assistance ; and fortunately for him , help was at hand , his frightened parents quickly tore the burning clothes from his person and smothered the flames ; but not , how ever , until painful blisters were burned on his bod- , neck and side of his face. Dr. J. A. Gunn was at once summoned , the little fellow's pain relieved as soon as possible and the burns properly dressed. At this writing he is getting along nicely , and it is expected thai nojconsiderable or ugly scars will mar his youthful person. Perhaps the fact that the lad at once ran to the house for help , "which was fortunately at hand , is all that saved the little fellow from a fearful death. This should seive as a warning to all , even the most careful. Since the accident Bud has been taken with an attack of scarlet fever , but we are informed that he is getting on very well notwithstanding. Spring : Meeting.

Lindsaj * , late of our city , has twice refused the ap pointment as city judge of Tonawanda , New York. The Express says : "Mr. Lindsay , being a prominent member of the machine faction of the Republican part } ' , and also Henry E. Warner's law partner , could not accept the office with out committing a breach of confidence with P. M. Sullivan , whom he had prom ised to support first , last and all the time. Mayor McKeen again offered the place to Mr. Lindsay , today , but he once more refused to sacrifice his friend" . Visited Culbertson.

It is a matter of lively interest and great satisfaction to the people of Mc Cook to learn that the Brigade band of our city has again been hired by the state fair management to play during the fair in Omaha , this fall. It is a further mat ter of congratulation to know that the band will do itself , the city and the state credit , and will produce music that can not be excelled in the west. Here's to the Nebraska Brigade band ! SCHOOL NOTES. Just four more weeks we have to wait , And then at last 'tis over ; The long-sought sheep-skins will be ours ; Oh ! won't we be in clover ? I2TH GRADE POETESS. And the school entertainment is yet a thing of the future. Rev. H. L. Preston made his usual weekly call , Monday morning.

Admission 10 cents. Doors open at 7:30 ; perform ance begins promptly at 8. The 12th grade is making rapid pro gress in the collection of botanical speci mens , some of the members having al ready secured as many as 70. Rumor credits some of the grade with saying that they do not find the analyzation of flowers a difficult task when they are fa miliar with the common name. Why this should be we are unable to tell , but suppose it is owing to the more modern methods followed by the up-to-date stu dents of the present century. i Memorial Day. While the program for Memorial day has not been fully settled , yet a few features of the occasion have been deter mined : The Memorial sermon will be preached in the Baptist church , Sunday morning , May 30th , by Rev. J. M. Bell. There will be union services of all the Protestant churches. The regular ser vices of Memorial day will be held on Monday , the 31st. The oration will be delivered by Past Dept. Commander H. E. Palmer of Omaha. National Dept. Commander Clarkson requests that the oration delivered by the immortal Lin coin at Gettysburg be read at the ser vices , and the same will likely be recited in unison by a number of school chil dren. It is also requested by the national commander that all amusements and " games be dispensed with on that day as being out of harmony with the occasion. It is expected that the full program will be ready for publication by next week. Comrades LeHew and Berry will orate at Stratton on Saturday. Lots for Sale.
