H' Guilds and Sunday School
( * Special Preparations
i , for the Event.
fA Sunday next will be a red-letter day
V in the history of St. Alban's Episcopal
H * church. McCook. On that day the Right
vT \ \ Reverend Anson R. Graves , S. T. D. ,
H\ \ \ IX. D. , Bishop of the Platte , will visit
? - 3 the above church , will administer the
B [ . sacraments of baptism and confirmation ,
H * ' and will celebrate the Holy Eucharist
tu and preach. 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.

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. RA : R.

VERY NARROW ESCAPE
Little Bud Bailey and a Match a Bad
Combination.
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.

We observe from a special telegram in

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" .

The following notice of the death of a
fonder resident of our city we copy from
the-Galesville ( Wis. ) Independent :
Died , Tuesday , April 6 , 1S97 , at her
home in this city.Charlotte E. Hutchins.
The funeral services were held , Wednes
day from the Clark-St. M. E. church ,
Rev. H. Scott Witherbee officiating.
Charlotte E. Lester was born at Prairie
du Sac , Wis. , April 14 , 184S. On MayS ,
1869 she was married to J. M. Hutchins.
The family moved to this city from Oma
ha , Neb. , two years ago. For the last
four years she has been an intense suf
ferer , and man } * times during that period
she was confined to her bed. The last
and fatal illness was ot about three weeks
duration. A husband and five children
survive her , the eldest son having died
at Omaha about two mouths ago. Three
daughters and a son reside at Denver ,
Colorado. Another sou , Fred M. Hutch
ins , is a Western Union operator at
Omaha. He was the only one of the
children present at the funeral. Al
though Mrs. Hutchins had been a resi
dent of this city but a short time , she
possessed many friends who sincerely
mourn her loss.
Star of Jupiter.
On next Monday evening the Star of
Jupiter people will have one of their
oldtime rousing meetings. The side de
gree originated by the lodge at Republi
can City will be conferred by a delega
tion from that lodge. A short program

ing if you fail to be present on coming
Monday evening , in A. O. U. W. hall.
They Entertain ,
The Lady Maccabees entertained their
members and families , last evening , in
their usually generous and enjoyable
way , after the regular business session
in which about a dozen new members
were duly initiated into the order. Re
freshments were served and a really de
lightful time had. The order has taken
on new life and its membership is in
creasing in an encouraging manner , due
in a measure to just such pleasant affairs
as that of last evening.
Reception for the Bishop.
The Tribune understands that a re
ception will be tendered Bishop Graves
in the chapel on tomorrow evening. The
arrangements being perfected promise an
affair of felicitous particulars , excellent

I2TH GRADE POETESS.
And the school entertainment is yet a
thing of the future.

Most of our teachers will attend the
county teachers' institute in Bartley , to

m'cook public school. 1
Special lantern performance for the |
public , Friday evening , May 7th. Ed
ward Eggleston's famous story , "The
Hoosier Schoolmaster" , brilliantly illus
trated. 50 splendid pictures of life in
Indiana fifty years ago. A fine musical
programme will be rendered. 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.
