'Will Increase the Shops.
'One of the happiest items of news that
lias come to the McCook ear in many
of the Bur-
3tioons is the announcement -
ilington company that the shops at Mc-
KHook will shortly be greatly enlarged.
"The company recently determined to in
crease the shops here until they can do
: all the repair work except the general
-rebuilding of a locomotive , which work
will be exclusively done at Havelock.
"The machinery at this point will be
-largely-increased : wheel mounting machinery -
chinery will be added , a wheel press ,
ixle lathe , boring mill , and other exten
sive machinery. To house this machin
ery and to relieve the already overcrowded -
crowded shops , additional room will
have to be made , and it is about decided
to build a separate building just east of
the great round house , to which it will
* > e connected by an arch-way. The blue
prints for the contemplated building are
already at headquarters. A building 80
X 200 feet is contemplated , in which all
the machinery will be placed.
A brick smoke-stack will be erected ,
a separate boiler-room made , and all the
boilers consolidated for heating and
power purposes in this one room.
It is contemplated that all engine , all
car , and all wheel work for this division
will be done at McCook , after the im
provements are completed ; and this ad-
dilion will bring quite an increase in the
number of men to be employed at this
point.
This is one of the most important
inoves made by the Burlington for Me-
Cook in many years , and we understand
that a similar plant will be added to the
. -Alliance shops for the same purpose.

Tuesday was truly a'red letter day1
for che Catholics of Cambridge and vi
cinity , marking as it did the consuintna
tion of their generous and pious effort
toward erecting at that place a house o
divine worship , in the formal and solemi
dedication of ihe Saint John the Baptis
Catholic church of that place , one o
the handsomest and best appoihtet
little churches in the state of Nebraska
in building and furnishing whicl
about eight thousand dollars have beei
spent. The building and furnishing
throughout are a charming and endur
ing monument to the energy and devo
tion of the pastor of that mission , Rev
Bernard Sproll of Indianola , and to tin
generosity and self-denial of the little
but open-hearted , flock under his minis
trations. Notwithstanding the fact tha
there are but thirty-five families repre
sented in that church , they have erectec
a church which will for years challeng <
the admiration of the people of this par
of the state. It may be added in this
connection , too , that the Catholics o
that parish have made cheerful recogni
tion of the generous gifts of non-Catho
lies in the building of their splendic
church home.
The clergy participating in the dedi
calory services were : Right Rev. Bish
op Thomas Bonacuni of Lincoln ; Verj
Rev. William McDonald of Hastings :
Very Rev. W. Wolfe of Grand Island ;
Very Rev. P. Leonard of Lincoln ; Ver >

hardt Boll of Elsie ; Rev. Michael L.
Shine of Harvard ; Rev. Daniel Fitzger
ald of Graf ton ; Rev. Joseph Ress ol
Utica ; Rev. W. Wenzel of Herudon ,
Kansas ; and Rev. Bernard Sproll , pastor
Df the mission , Indiauola.
The dedicatory services commenced at
half past ten o'clock in the morning
with all the above-mentioned clergy as
sisting the Right Reverend Bishop in the
impressive and solemn ceremonies of the
significant and auspicious occasion. The
scene was one not soon to be forgotten
by the immense congregation that o.er-
flowed the church. The grounds and
exterior of the church were first dedicat
ed , and then followed the solemn liigh
mass and dedication of the beautiful in
terior and appointments , with all the
pomp and circumstances and solemn
: erernonial of the Catholic church.
The choir for the occasion was special
ly organized in this city by Mrs. A. P.
Bonnet , who sang soprano and directed.
3he was assisted by Mrs. C. W. Bronsou ,
ilto ; Mr. J. G. Schobel , basso ; and Mr.
F. M. Kiuimell , tenor. Miss Edith
Phelau of Alliance presided at the organ.
They sang Wiegand's superb mass in
aonor of St. Joseph in a manner which
idded materially to the iuipressiveness
jf the event , a fact which was graciously
ind gratefully acknowledged 'by the
jishop , clergy and laity without stint.
At lour o'clock in the afternoon the
fourteen stations of the cross were can-
> nically blessed with impressive cere-
nonial , conducted by a number of the
priests in attendance , the choir assisting
n the responses. The stations of the
: ross were exceedingly handsome works
> f arts , costing about five hundred dol-
ars the generous gift of one lady.
Dinner and supper were served in the
> pera house , and the people in multi-
udes indulged in the good things there
ipread. After dinner , some informal
jest prandial oratory was indnlged in ,
lev. Joseph Roche of David City acting
nest cleverly in the capacity of toast
naster :

A CARD TO THE CHOIR.
I feel a deep sense of obligation to Mrs.

: heir from McCook for the superb music
endered so artistically at the dedication
if St. John the Baptist church or Cam

ipportunity of expressing the gratitude
I'hich wells up in my heart full of
hanks for the splendid help rendered
u the solemn ceremonials of the day.

Rev. W. F. Vogt went over to Herndon -
don , Kansas , Thursday morning , to let
the contract for the building of a parson
age at that place. His family will re
main here until the building is complet
ed , which will be some time the last of
July. When they will join him at that
place , where he will continue his minis
terial work.
On next Sunday , Rev. W. F. Vogt will
preach his farewell sermon in the Ger
man Congregational church. THE TRIE-
UNE need scarcely say that this separa
tion fiom Rev. Vogt will be deeply re
gretted by many. His work for the
church in this city has been very fruit
ful the congregation has not only been
largely increased in numbers and effect
iveness under his pastorate , but the
church property has been materially im
proved , and the work altogether put in
fine condition , materially and spiritually.
His successor , Rev Essig , will not take
charge of the field until June ist , so the
congregation will be without regular
preaching services during the month of
May.
