Finally he used Kodol Dys pepsia Cure and now eats what he likes and as much as he wants , and he feels like a new man. It digests what you eat. D. W. Loar. Burned the Water Tank. A prolonged anJ vociferous alarm about eleven o'clock , Wednesday night , called the fire department over to West McCook , but the fire was under control before the laddies arrived.

Mr. Coglizer's loss is consid erable. n. p. SUTTOIST MUSICAL GOODS McCOOK , NEBRASKA B. E. ASHTON , Pres. T. E. UcDONALB , Cash. CLIFFOBD iTASSH , Asst. Cash. BANK OF DANBURY DANBURY/NEB.

IOAE , Druggist. Death of W. M. Anderson. This community WHS deeply moved , last week , by the announcement of the fatal illness of W. M. Anderson at his home in Omaha , to which place he moved with his family , a few years since , from our city , and they were pre pared for the word , which came later , that he had died , early last Friday morn ing , after an illness of about a week , lie was taken ill on Friday of the week preceding , and was unconscious from the beginning , with brief lucid moments , until the end. The disease was an af fection of the bratn. The deceased was for a number of years an honored and respected citizen of McCook , and the liearts of many friends here go out to the wife and children in their sad loss , for truly was he a loving husband and indul gent father. Nebraska lodge No. i , A. I7. & A. M. , of Omaha , conducted set vices in Omaha , Saturday afternoon last , in the use of the solemn and beautiful ritual of the order , after which the lodge escorted the re mains to the train for shipment to Me Cook. One of the members of the lodge and order , M. Y. Starbuck , accompanied the body. The floral offerings of the lodge and others shipped with the re mains were among the handsomest and most elaborate ever seen in this city a rich and charming expression of frater nal love. The funeral services were conducted liere in the Baptist church , Sunday afternoon , by Rev. George Scott. The burial was held under auspices of the Masons and Workmen , of which orders the deceased was an enthusiastic member in life. The heavy rain which prevailed during the services confined the attend ance to a very few , unfortunately. The departed had made generous finan cial provision for the family , having a total of $6,500 insurance on his life. Will Anderson was known by a large and admiring circle of friends in McCook and his death comes to many hearts with power and sadness. THE TRIBUNE ex presses the sentiment of the community in which he lived with credit and honor in offering the family tender and sincere sympathy. [ WILLIAM M. ANDERSON was born in Jersey City , N. J. , July 18 , 1854 ; died in Omaha , Neb. , April 12,1900. The early years of his life were spent in Brooklyn , N. Y. In 1876 he came to Morrison,111. , and on September 18 , 1878 , he was mar ried in that place to Miss Ida Mosher of that city. In 1880 they removed to Exeter , Neb. , living there until 1885 , when the family came to McCook , where the3' spent ten years , moving to Omaha in 1895 , where he and the family re mained until his death. He leaves a wife and four children , three boys and one girl , to mourn , his death. ] Entertain the Kappas. Mrs. W. B. Mills and Mrs. W. V. Gage entertained the members and hus bands of the members of the Kappa Sigma Kappa club , Tuesday evening , at the home of Mrs. Mills , in a notable and charming style. Various amusements and games were projected for the enter tainment of the guests , the advertise ment guessing contest being one of the most engrossing. One of cleverest con ceptions of the evening was the cards upon which the guesses were to be written. Bach card contained some thing in figure or word appropriate to the business or occupation of or "hitting off" the individual to whom it was giv en. Mrs. Ray P. Vahue won the prize and Mrs. Harry A. Beale the booby. Easter lilies , carnations and suiilax formed the decorative feature of the home and on the tables on which re freshments were served. The effect was very pretty and tasteful. The dainty refreshments were served with much taste and with every needful accessory of utility and beauty. The whole affair is described as having been most superlative in conception , de tail and execution. PAT'S DISCOVERY. Found That There IVhere Two of the Ugly "Hastes. " An amusing incident was witnessed in a menagerie the other day , where a number of the well-known trick mirrors were placed between the cages. An Irishman , after a critical survey of the monkeys , had wandered away from his better-half , and sud denly found himself in front of one of these mirrors. After one glance at his distorted reflection , he rushed back to his wife , who was etill watch ing the antics of the monkeys. . "Come away wid ye , Bridget , " he exclaimed. "Oi've a bigger trate than that the ugliest baste in the show. He's in a little cage in the corner. " Bridget of fered no objections , and as two or three of the bystanders , who had heard Patsy's remark , were equally anxious to obtain a peep at the "ugliest baste , " there was quite a procession to the "little cage in the corner. " Patsy , as the original discoverer , secured first place and dragged h'is wife in front of the mirror. To his astonishment , there were more in the "cage" than he expected. "Begorra , Bridget ! " he suddenly exclaimed , "there's a pair av 'em ! " To eay that Patsy had a lively time of it when some one explained the situation to Bridget would be to put it mildly. Newly Minted. "I've got a new idea. " "Hmh ! It ought , then , to be a bright one. " Ex. McCook Transfer Line J. H. DWYEE , Proprietor. attention paid to hauling furniture. Leave orders at either lumber yard. That Masonic Event. The Masonic event referred to in last week's TKIIJUNE came off , Tuesday night , as per schedule , and was. one of the grandest affairs lately undertaken by the brethren of that order. There was an unusual attendance , be tween 130 and 140 Masons being piesent , and there was genuine brotherhood and fraternity in excelsis. There was work iu the third degree , and it was exemplified in fine style be fore a full lodge. After the business of the evening , there was a banquet with the usual attendant toasts , which con cluded a memorable evening for the Masons of Southwestern Nebraska. Palms , potted plants of various kinds and carnations decorated the tables and added to the beauty and attractiveness of the scene , which has not been equaled in many moons , and is scarcely ever ex celled in our city , which is famous over this section of Nebraska for its social affairs and functions notable. The banquet was spread by Band No. I of the Dorcas society of the Congrega tional church , and the ladies nmintaiued their highest and best traditions. The elegant accessories of the lodge were used by the ladies in placing their re freshments before the hungry multitude about 130 persons partaking of this at tractive feature of the auspicious occas ion. Responses to toasts were made by the following gentlemen , and some of them are declared to have been masterpieces : Grand Junior Warden Ayers of Beaver City , Rev. William Hardcastle of Cam bridge , Grant D. Harrington of Wiscon sin , who recited Bob Norris' "The Level and the Square , " John T. McClure of Beaver City , J. S West of Benkelman , J. T. Sumny of Beaver City , J. E. Hath- orn of Bartley , E. R. Bee of Cambridge , S. W. Clark of Bartley , A. A. Taylor of Cambridge , Dr. Walthall and by Messrs. G. W. Norris , W. J. Turner , G. R. John son and Sylvester Cordeal of our city. There were present in the neighbor hood of 130 Masons , and of this number at least 80 were from outside lodges. There were representatives present from Arapahoe , Benkelman , Stratton , Cul- bertson , Beaver City , Stamford , Hoi- brook. Indianola , Bartley , Cambridge and Orleans ; and the states of Ohio , Indiana , Missouri and Pennsylvania had representatives in attendance. Advertised Letters.
