An Unqualified Success.
The audiences that greeted the public
school entertainments in the opera house ,
scV
Friday and Saturday evenings of last
week , were quite unprecedented for size
and appreciation. Perhaps never before
jr the history of the city have two such
large and attentive audiences attended
.
performances ( of any kind by either home
01 professional talent on two successive
nights. : And The Tribune ' feels en
tirely free to state that the entertainments -
ments merited the patronage accorded
and that the pleasure given those present
amply repaid for the effort and expense
of attendance. The scope of the plans ,
the variety of the programme , and the
multitude ] of those engaged , give a faint
idea of the labor and time expended in
the prepaiation and indicate the measn
ure of credit due to the teachers and pupils -
pils in fact to all who assisted in the
labor connected with the affair.
Perhaps no better idea can be comtl
municated than by giving the pro
grammes of the two evenings. Below

NOTES.
The orchestral work was fine but rather
too heavy for indoor enjoyment in the
musical line.
Here are congratulations to all parties
concerned ( on the splendid success of the
large undertaking.
Over one hundred and seventy .pupils
of the various grades were engaged in
the performances of the two nights.
The scope of the entertainments would
have appalled less sturdy stuff than the
teachers < and pupils of the McCook pubd
lie schools are made of.
The concerts were distinctly creditable
to Superintendent Valentine and all who
assisted him in getting the various num
bers reads * for the stage.
The "Little Shaking Quakers" took
the audience by storm , while the "Lit-
tie " and " "
Tramps" the "Klondykers" fairly
divided the honors with them.
The gross receipts of the two evenings
were about two hundred dollars. After
paying all expenses incident to so large :
an undertaking , a ver } * neat sum will ree
main to the credit of the music fund of |
the school.
Tuesday evening , Supt. Valeutime entertained -
tertained a small company , embracing
helpers at the concerts not named in the
programme , at the home of Mrs. Vina
Wood. It was a pleasant , informal af
fair , much enjoyed b\ ' the guests.
The scenic effects were new and at-
tractive , the creations of Hogan & Starr ,
and added materially to the general re- <
suits. The costuming , while not elaborate -
orate and expensive , was pretty and altogether -
gether effective , much pains and time be-
iug required to make the many garments 1
for the children as they appeared in the
several concerted pieces. The school [
lantern , for which a number of colored i
lights had been prepared specially for <
this occasion , made many of the effects <
more charming. 1
Much credit is due Mrs. A P. Bonnet
in the preparation of the musical part of
the programme , although on account of
sickness she was compelled to retire
from the active direction of affairs shortly -
ly before the concerts were given. Dr.
S. C. Beach , Mrs. W. B. Mills and Miss
Edna Dixon come in for a due meed of
praise in this connection.
McCook Public School , Feb. 23 , 1898.
To The Public : The kindly interest
displayed in the concert recently given
by the children and ttie generous patron-
age bestowed on two successive evenings
is hereby gratefully acknowledged.
The receipts for the two concerts were
$227.90 ; the expenses $79.25 ; leaving a
balance to the special school fund of
$148.65 , out of which we are enabled to
make a large payment on our piano ,
which is very satisfactor } ' to the teachers
and : pupils whose exertions in hours
added to the regular working time made
the entertainment possible.
For the helpfulness of the parents of
the two hundred children who took part
and to those who furnished the lunch
for the little ones between the acts we
tender our hearty thanks.
To the newspapers for liberal notices ,
to Mrs. Westland and Mrs. Brewer for
their artistic work , and to the musical
friends who so cheerfully rendered their
services . we are under a deep sense of ohin
ligation. To the Brigade Band and II.
P. Sutton , the director , to Mrs. W. B.
Mills and Miss Edna Dixon , to Dr. S C.
Beach , Messrs. F. A. Pennell , G. R.Sny-
der , Fred Beardslee. Roy Smith , and J.
R. McCarl and to Mr. F. M. Kimmell we
express : our gratitude , which may prove ,
as a witty Frenchman has said , to be an
acknowledgement ' of favors received in
the expectation of asking for more in the
future ; to Mr. Ray Hall and the Electric
Light Co. , who at no little annoyance
'
and trouble enabled us to illuminate our
tableaux t , and to Messrs. Wm. Snyder ,
,
John Wentz , Wm. Richardson , Coleman
& Cochran for articles loaned we convey
our thanks.
All of which is submitted on behalf of
the teachers and pupils of the McCook
Public Schools by 3'our obedient servant.SI

The Captain Buys a Farm
This week , Captain W. J. Evans pur
chased the H. II. Meyer farm over in
Valley Grange precinct , consisting of 100
acres ' of as fine land as can be found in
the country , and well improved. A
splendid house , barn , cribs , granaries.
windmill , fencing , alfalfa , etc. , are
among : the improvements of this desir
able ' place , which the captain will take
possession of about the first of April.
PT
The purchase price , we understand , was
$3,500. Mr. Meyer and son still have
400 acres practically adjoining the place
sold , which is known as the old Eaton
ranch , and we hear it stated that they
will build upon and improve some other
portion of their land. The Tribune
is pleased to see Captain Evans decide
tc make his permanent home with us.
A Disappointment.
There is no disguising the fact that
there j is considerable comment and some
dissatisfaction over the fact that W. R.
Starr was not appointed attorney to de-
fend Edward Lorenz , who will on April
nth be given a new trial for the murder
q1 Michael Travers. Mr. Starr has given
the case very close attention and it was %
owing largely to his efforts that the new
trial was secured , so it was generally expected -
pected that he would be appointed to de
fend the boy on his new trial. There is
no particular fault urged against Mr.
Smith , who was appointed , but the idea
prevails that Mr. Starr was entitled to
the appointment by reason of the time
and money he has put into the case al
ready ,
Will Hold Joint Services.
Commencing with next Sunday even- ,
. .
ing the Christian Endeavor society and
members of the Congregational church
will hold joint services in the church at |
the regular hour of evening services ,
eight o'clock. These services will be
held until a new pastor is installed.
There will be special music by the
church choir and a programme of inter- t
est and instructiveness. All are invited
to these services.
Had a Liberal Patronage. (
The ladies of the Methodist church
enjoyed a liberal patronage at their
Washington dinner and bazaar on Tues-
day. They served both dinner and supt
per and their tables were crowded on
both occasions. The ladies spread wholesome - C
some food in rich abundance , as usual.
The counters of the bazaar were well
filled with useful articles which had a
ready ' sale , and enriched the Aid society
accordingly. s
h
Have Issued a Call. o
At their meeting on Wednesday night t
the members of the Congregational u
church decided to issue a call to Rev.
William J. Turner of Mt. Vernon , Ohio ,
who is expected to assume the pastorate
of this church about April 1st.
