* -M * . * * NINETEENTH YEAR. McCOOK , RED WILLOW COUNTY , NEBRASKA , FRIDAY EVENING , JUNE 22 , 19OO. NUMBER 6 A Successful Convention. The Eighth district of the Nebraska Christian Missionary society closed a successful three-days convention in our city , Thursday evening. About a dozen counties ure represented in the district and there were over fifty delegates in attendance. The dominant idea of the convention was to secure united work along missionary lines. The opening session was held in the Christian church , Tuesday evening , opening with a song service. Rev. Tur ner of the Congregational church deliv ered a brief welcoming address , to which C. H. Roberts of Hartley responded. A strong sermon by E. G. Merrell of Arapahoe - ahoe concluded the evening service. Sessions were held mornings , after noons , and evenings , the sessions being taken up in addresses , reports , discus sions etc , of the different line's of work and departments of activity in missions. A number of able and instructive ser mons and addresses were delivered on appropriate topics .during the conven tion. Among the state officers of the society present were : E. V. Forell , president ; \V. A. Baldwin , corresponding secretary ; Mrs. Griffiths , superintendent C.V. . B. M. , and Miss Anna Champion , superin tendent of Junior societies. The new officers elected are : A. C. Corbin , Beaver City , president ; J. R. Skinner , Arapahoe , vice-president ; C. H. Trueman , Hendley , corresponding secretary ; T. P. Beall , Elwood , recording secretary ; D. W. Lear , McCook , treas urer ; R. T. Eller , McCook , superintend ent of Bible-school ; Jacob Longnecker , superintendent of C. E ; Mrs. Merrell , Aiapahoe , superintendent C. W. B. M. Thursday evening , Mrs. A. P. Welles and Mrs. G. W. Norris received the del egates to the convention on their lawn most graciously. Light refreshments were served. The next convention will either be held in Beaver City or Hendley. Dinners and suppers during the con vention were served to the delegates in the court-house , thus subserving time and convenience. Breakfasts were served at lodgings. The delegates were greatly pleased with the city and the hospital , courteous treatment always accorded them. A Fatal Snake Bite. Little Sammy Beudewald , the seven- year-old son of Mrs. Margaret Bendewald of West McCook , was fatally bitten by a rattlesnake on the ranch of a sister in Cheyenne county , Kansas , about twelve miles south of Haigler , last Friday , and died at the home of his mother in West McCook , Sunday afternoon at five o'clock. The little fellow noticed a rattlesnake going into a hole , and taking his knife attempted to cut from the tail of the serpent its rattles. As is the habit of the rattler , the head was curled about until it was just inside the opening to the hole , and when the boy attempted to secure the rattles , he was bitten. The injured boy arrived from Haigler , Saturday evening , by train , and efforts were made for his recovery , but the poison had taken too strong hold on his constitution , and he passed away in great suffering on Sunday afternoon. Funeral services were held in the German Congregational church , Monday afternoon at three o'clock , conducted by Rev. Essig. after which the remains were buried in Riverview cemetery. Chlldren's-Day Exercises. The evening hour and service at the Congregational church , last Sunday , was given over to the observance of Chil- dren's-day and its attendant exercises. A simple Children's-day carol had been prepared and was rendered by the little folks of the school acceptably. A num ber of recitations and an anthem by the choir filled the programme. The threat ened rainstorm had the effect of reducing the attendance somewhat. There was a most attractive array of floral decora tions , palms , potted plants and a wealth of cut flowers ; a floral arch occupied a place on the pulpit platform. Will Complete the Work. The work of taking the census of the city of McCook , alone , being too ardu ous , and not being able to secure assist ance , Dr. S. L. Green resigned , this week , and C. W. Barnes of the Republi can was appointed to fill the vacancy and complete the enumeration , which , we understand , is about half finished. As but nine days remain in which to complete the work , energetic effort will have to be made between now and July ist , if McCook is to receive her due and proper rating. Desirable House for Sale.

With a record of two defeats in less than a week , we love the McCook Ath letic club ball team yet. The boys play good ball and are doing better work right along ; their last defeats being chargeable more to hard luck than to poor work. It has been the misfortune of the boys that all their errors have been costly and inopportune so disas trous in the last two games as to turn prospective victory into defeat. They play better ball than either of their suc cessful opponents of the last few days , and more careful work and team prac tice will easily give them the victory over both of them. Last Friday's game with the Stock- ville boys on the local groud attracted a good-sized and enthusiastic crowd to Athletic park. The game was closely from start to finish , when victory re warded the visitors in a score of 7 to 4. The feature of the game wasTeel's pitch ing ; the Athletics couldn't find him. Twice the boys were retired on strike outs when they had the bases full and nobody out. Teel seemed to be equal to every emergency. His support , ex cepting his catcher , was miserable ; in fact the battery was pretty much all the Stockville team had. Better stick-work on the part of the Athletics would have made them easy victors ; as it was they were defeated by a much inferior team in many particulars. The summary of the game is as follows : Stockvillo 0002200 1 2 7 McCook 1 0010002 0 4 Batteries , Stockville , Tool and Powers ; Mc Cook , Brennan , Buruey and Pate. Hits , Stock ville 12 ; McCook 8. Double plays , McCook 2. Struck out , by Ted 15 ; by Burney 1. liases on balls , by Teel a. Hit by pitched balls , by Bur- noy 1. Left on bases , Stockville 0 ; McCook 13. Umpire , Leo. But it's the Arapahoe game that breaks our hearts. With victory well in hand up to the sixth inning , the boys had their banner trailed in the dust of defeat through unfortunate and costly errors , the score being 6 to 4. Barring the few errors the contest was a splendid exhi bition of the national game , both clubs being on their mettle and playing hard for victory. Bocock's work with the stick was a feature , three of McCook's seven hits being to his credit. The contest attracted the largest crowd that has witnessed a ball game in South western Nebraska , this season , in the neighborhood of a thousand people en tering the grounds. Of this company McCook furnished its full quota of the noisiest "rooters" that ever invaded Arapahoe , the delegation from here be ing variously estimated at from 150 to 200 ; and the grand-stand was a perfect blaze of crimson , the club's colors. The summary follows : McCook 2 0101000 0 4 Arapuhoe 2 0001300 * 6 Batteries , McCook , Burncy and Pate ; Arapa- lioe , Bellamy and Patton. Hits , McCook 7 ; Arapahoe 3. Double plays , McCook 1.

It was the "first appearance" of the Athletics in their new uniforms. Jim Magee made a lightning shortstop and played an errorless game. The Athletics will play Oxford on the 4th for a $50 purse on the Beaver City ground. The next game will be played with Dberlin , next Tuesday afternoon , on the local ground. W. H. Scott , the new pitcher from Blue Hill , contemplatesselling his barber-shop and making his home here. George R. Johnson lost a valuable * old watch , which he carelessly laid Jown and left fora few minutes where je was washing. E. A. Bocock's batting makes him a most desirable addition to the club , and t is hoped that he may secure a position and become a fixture here and in the team. The Cash System. The management of the "Bee Hive" has decided to discontinue the credit system from this date , AND WE ASK THE ASSISTANCE of our many friends and jatrous in this undertaking. We have : arefully considered this from all points of nterest to our patrons and ourselves and we feel that with the advantages which the cash system affords it will beef of great benefit to ALL , inasmuch as we shall at all times stand ready with : he cash to buy anything in the > vay of jargains that may be offered , and in turn offer same to customers AT A MUCH LOWER PRICE. We wish to thank our many customers for their liberal patron age in the past , and we feel that under the new system we shall be able to better serve them , and maintain our past reputation of being the cheapest place in town.

At the meeting of the board of educa tion on Monday evening , George H.

Some minor bills were allowed and the committee on repairs and buildings was authorized to make needed repairs reported necessary to the several build ings. George II. Themes , who will preside over our city schools next year , needs no introduction to the people of Mc Cook , having taught the sciences in the High school in 1897-8 , and being reelected - elected to the position for 1898 9 , but ac cepting a more attractive offer in tin schools of his home town , Harvard where he taught one year before accept ing the superintendency of the Nelsoi schools , employing seven teachers which he filled most creditably and sat isfactorily , last year , receiving a reelection tion for the coming term as un evidence of their appreciation of his ability as a superintendent of schools. A graduate of the Nebraska university and a teacher and superintendent of a number o years' experience , Mr. Thomas wil come to us well qualified to fill will credit and success the position of super intendent of McCook's city schools. In addition to his scholastic attainments , he has a dignified and genial personality , which will make him headway into the affections of the pupils and establish him in the esteem and confidence of the patrons of the system. Miss Huston has taught in the public schools of Eldon for the past seven years , hence comes to our system with experience and strong recommendation as to qualifications. No action was taken on the position of High school principal. The next regular meeting will be held on July 2d. Will Go to Falrbury. While regretting that Sup't Caviness will not be at the head of our city schools during the coming year , his many friends in the city will be pleased to learn that he has been called to the superiutendency of the city schools ol Fairbury , Nebraska , a bright and prom ising little city of about 5,000 population down in Jefferson county. He was suc cessful in his quest over 35 applicants , and will enter upon the work down there with the united and loyal support of board , people and pupils. There are 18 teachers in the Fairbur } ' schools , four of them in the High school , which numbers about 175 pupils. Sup't Cuviness has rendered the schools of McCook efficient service during the two years he has been at the head of its educational interests , and THE TRIBUNE wishes him contin ued success in his new field of work. From what we know and learn of Fair- bury , we believe that there is open for him down there a most attractive field of labor in his chosen profession , and we hasten to congratulate him upon this wider opportunity , believing that he will meet all reasonable expectations , and that he will give a good account of himself to the people of Fairbury , who will receive earnest and painstaking and substantial labon and endeavor from Sup't Caviness. The Fairbury schools pay uniformly higher salaries than the McCook schools , the lowest salary being $45. All the teachers in the High school are Nebras ka university graduates , and the salaries in the High school are $65 and $70. Seventeen Antelope Killed. Seventeen head of antelope are re- aorted to have been killed in a small : yclone and severe hailstorm which pre vailed in the neighborhood of Cody , a few miles from Akron , Colorado , about loon , last Sunday. At Cody , a telegraph pole and a few fence posts were twisted jff , but the destructiou of antelopes did lot occur until the storm had reached a point three or four miles from Cody.

" rhese numbers , rendered faultlessly , vere listened to with the greatest inter est.
