V fos/-f : EIGHTEENTH YEAR MeCOOK , RED WILLOW COUNTY , NEBRASKA , FRIDAY EVENING.'SEPTEMBER 8 , 1899. NUMBER 17 Was a Splendid Success. The entertainment given-by the chil lren of the public schools and friends o the system on the lawn at A. Itarnctt'i home , last Friday evening , was one o the most artistic and delightful affair : < o which are people have paid tribute ir a long while. The evening was favor able for an out-of-doors eiiterlainuicnl and the attendance was large and untis ually enthusiiibtic and generous will their applause throughout the variec 4ind delightful programme , which is ap pended : TRUCK AMMK. TAKT I. March Nebraska Brigade Hand. Song and Dance "Papa isn't Home To- Night" Joseph Newmar Elsie Campbell. -'We Are Waiting , Dewey , Waiting" Little Hoys. Quartette "Swift as a Jiird".fr.

Quartette "Honey , Youse Ma Lady Love" Mat. Mann , ar. Shattuck Male Quartette. The baud was not able to give the overture selections announced on the programme on account of the absence of light , but made good its part of the pro gramme by rendering a number of popu lar marches which the members were able to play without their music , with the usual , happy success. The male quartette made such a hit that the boys were unable to escape un til they had sung both numbers on the programme. They are artists and de servedly popular artists , too. Elsie Campbell's song and dance was one of the most acceptable features of the programme. Elsie is graceful and composed and sings nicely. The drill and dance by fourteen young ladies were beautiful spectacular num bers and greatly pleased the audience. The High school quartette made a favorable impression in rendering "Swift as a Bird. " "We are Waiting , Dewey , Waiting , " by the little boys , went right to the spot. The title and the little fellows are both winners. The little girls appeared to charming advantage in their action song "Pinki- ty. Winkity , We " Blanche McCarl always sings sweetly , and this occasion was no exception to the general rule , as she presented "Just as the Sun Went Down. " In fine the entire programme reflected to the high credit of the director , Mrs. A. P. Bonnet , who is to be congratulated. One of the most pleasing features was the "Quilting Bee , " a character sketch that caught the popular fancy enthusi astically. Refreshments were served during the programme , ices , ice cream and cake being the menu ; and from this source , too , quite a revenue was derived , which , together with the money received from the sale of tickets to the entertainment , will go far in putting the music fund in healthy condition for the coming term. About $54 was realized and , though the expenses were considerable , between 35 and $40 was placed to the credit of the fund , enough to purchase necessary material and get the work of instruction in music well started in the schools. The management desires to express its thanks to all who in any way assisted in making the affair so pleasant and profitable. A word of apology and ex planation is due in regard to refresh ments. Through some misunderstand ing less than half the cakes so kindly promised were received , and hence many were disappointed in not being served with all the refreshments ordered.

AN EQUINE PARADOX. Sixty-one Horses Acting at One Time In One Among the hundreds of star features associated with Ringling Brothers' circus this season , nothing has attracted more attention or excited more admiring com ment than the marvelous performances of O'Brien's school of high-bred equities. Embraced in this equine company are sixty-one of the handsomest horses ever seen in a circus ring ; a fact which all who witness the performances of Ring- ling Brothers' circus when it exhibits in McCook , Monday , Sept. iSth , will be able to attest. Three features of this great act are particularly notable : the large number of horses , the greatest company of equines ever trained in this way , the brilliancy and costly magnifi cence of the trappings , and the immense amount of paraphernalia used in the production. The display is given in the middle ring. This arena is especially constructed for the act , and is carried by the show. Instead of the usual circle of earth , there is a wooden parapet , the top of which forms a narrow circular platform enclosing the arena. In the center of the ring is a succession of cir cular stages , rising like terraces one above the other , and ending in a lofty pedestal. The director takes his station in the arena A signal is given , and a handsome thoroughbred , with arched neck and waving plumes , canters into the ling. This proud specimen of horse- hood , the matchless charger , "Silver King , " is the avant courier of sixty beautiful equines , gorgeously capari soned , but unrestrained by rein or bridle , which approach with the whirl and sweep of a cavalry charge , and then , suddenly halting in their niad flight , line up iu solid column , awaiting with proud impa tience the first orders of their iiuplicilly- Dbeyed trainer. The performance that follows staggers even the evidences of the senses. The equine actors , without the slightest hesitation or prompting , execute the most difficult evolutions , dance , pirouette , form colossal tableaux , and go through the movements of a dif ficult military march. Then a scoie or more of the horses take their places on the parapet of the ring ; others group themselves upon the ciictilar central stages. At the apex is the shapely "Sil- ier King. " Vaulting upon the back of this beautiful equine , and raising the superb animal until he seems to be poised in air , the trainer nods his head. distantly , the great company of horses is in motion. Some run to the right , athers to the left , but without leaving the narrow platforms. With their sleek : oats gleaming , with their radianlly- leautiful trappings glittering in the light , and the waving of their var-col- : Dred plumes , they form a picture of in describable beauty , lovely 'n ' its coloring , find thrilling in its dramatic effect. This finale never fails to create a sensation. O'Brien's famous sixty-one horse act is Duly one of scores of features with this jreat show which presents the finest zoological display , the most complete circus performance , the most historic hippodrome , and the finest free street paade ever seen on earth. The Football Game. Twenty-two husky lads representing the Athletic club and B. & M. football teams chased and pushed and panted aver the gridiron in the ball park , Labor lay afternoon , through two twenty-min ute halves in a desperate struggle for su premacy , aud the Athletic club came off victorious by a score of 5 to o. The .ailroad boys won the toss aud 50 ! the kick-off , the Athletic club de- teuding the east goal. By a couple of jCiiniuiages and an end luu the ball was : arred back into railroad territory , and : ontiuued line bucking and long gains irouud the right end by Fowler and rroth finally forced ( he ball over the line foi a touch-down jv'st a few minutes ijefore the call of time. McCarl failed to kick goal and the half c'osed with the score 5 to o. In the second half the ball was kept in railroad territory all the time and just before the half closed was within a few yards of the line when Cordeal , by a beautiful punt , got it back to the forty- yard line , where the teams were forming for a scrimmage when the game ended. Thomson and Moore of the railroad team retired from the game on account of injuries , Thomson returning later as did also Substitute Knobbs by consent of Captain Fowler of the opposing team. J. R. Easley was referee , H. C. Geode , umpire , and J. A. Beyrer and L. A. Thor- uriuisou , linesmen. Appended is the lineup of the two teams : Athletic Club. B. & M. L. C. Dole center Speer .
