Spelled His Pleasure.
George Burgess , Jr. . had his left hand
badly torn aud lacerated in a revolver
accident in Denver on the morning of
the Fourth , and returned home on 6 ,
that same night. The cause of his in
jury was the accidental discharge of a
"blank" cartridge ot 32 calibre in a
revolver held by him the firing of
"blank" cartridges in revolvers being a
fad in Denver on the Fourth. An artery
was severed and the inside of his left
hand was badly lacerated by the charge
of powder. Miss Florence Thompson
accompanied him home George was at
the church , ready to proceed to the
train for an outing and Sunday-school
picnic itl one of the resorts near Denver
when the accident put him out of com
mission and spoiled his pleasure. Ru
mors of the accident reached his parents
on their return from celebrating at Box
Elder , and they were quite distracted
" until George got off of No. 6 and they
were able to see the character of his in
juries. George claims it has temporarily
cured his rheumatism.

Notes of the Day.
I
"Twas a painfully quiet day for Mc
Cook ; not up to the average Sunday for
activity.
The Stayner drum corps made a popu
lar hit at Cedar Bluffs , Kansas , the
Fourth. They drove over and back.
Rev. W. J. Turner deliveied one of his
stirring , patriotic addresses before the
people of Palisade and vicinity.
Quite a number of McCook people cel
ebrated at Box Elder , Spring Creek and
Center Point , and not a few will remem
ber the day and occasion on account of
of the thorough soaking received.
About the only local reminder of the
3ay was the continuous din of discharged
: annons , fire-crackers etc. over the city
from early morn till dewy eve. In the
ivening there were quite a number of
private exhibitions of fire-works on a
small scale.
How is the porch floor ? You ought to

Bullard's.
The Fats Won.
The game between the Fats and the
Leans , last Monday afternoon , on the
Athletic club grounds , was far and awaj
the most amusing of the season , and a
the same time lacked little in interes
and excitement. It was witnessed by a
large and most enthusiastic crowd , ant
the City park realized quite a cozy sun
from the proceeds , which , however
would have been larger had the matter
been managed more carefully.
The Fats were under the management
of W. F. Everist and rolled up as fol
lows : H. H. Tartsch , II. P. Sutton , R.
P. Vahue , J. H. Moore , E. P. Huber , D.
A. Lucas , Adolph Mangless , B. M. Scranton -
ton and J B. Ballard The Leans lined
up under the captaincy of Dr. W. V.
Gage in the following order : F. S. Va
hue , D. W. Colsou. W. V. Gage. C. W.
Barnes , G. B. Berry , C. B. Gray , L. E.
Cann , S. D. McClain and J. G. Schobel.
The Fats were costumed in overalls
and the Leans arrayed in mother hub-
bards , making a most grotesque and
laugh-producing spectacle.
Both sides played the game for rich ,
red blood and at the start it seemed
that the Leans would wear the victors'
garlands , but after Lucas went into the
pitcher's box for the Robustuous Nibses
the Splinters' chances of success went
glimmering , and victory perched upon
the Fats' banner in a score of 33 to 23.
Head the Procession.
In the conduct of their soda water de
partment , as in the operation of all
brunches of their business , Messrs. Mc
Connell & Berry are satisfied with noth
ing short of leading the procession , will
stop short of nothing but the best and
latest and most up-to-date. Their latest
addition to the comfort of their large
and increasing number of soda water
patrons is a fan operated by a water mo
tor. It has been in successful operation
all week witli most satisfactory and de
lightfully cooling results.
The magnitude of their soda water
business may be understood when it is
known that they have already , this sea
son , used i ,300 pounds of sugar alone in
the preparation of their syrups which
are exclusively home-made and posi
tively pure. Last Saturday evening , be
tween the opening of the band concert
and the close of business 350 draughts
were drawn from their fountain.
In addition to the local trade , they do
an active business of "charging" tanks
: or parties in Stratton , Trenton and
Cambridge.
Go and be shown.
A Splendid Programme.
The Lincoln Journal says : The pro
gramme rendered.by the McCook band
during the day at Cushman park was
very much enjoyed. The organization
s composed of thirty-one men with H.
P. Sutton , director. The programme

A Great Contest.
The game of base-ball on the Fourth
at Norton , Kansas , between the Araphoe
and Lebanon , Kansas , clubs is described
as having been a magnificent game. "Tis
said that between 3,000 and 4,000 people
witnessed the game. Up until the second
end half of the last inning the score
stood 8 to 6 in favor of the Lebanon
earn. In the last half the Arapahoe
joys succeeded in running in three
scores and winning the game by 9 to 8.
Which goes to prove that the Arapaboes
are the luckiest base-ball team on earth ,
resides being splendid and nervy players.
Dolan-Beardslee.
The many warm friends in this city of
joth of the high contracting parties will

jose to help the farmers in the matter
) f expense and will sell Eldorado ma
chine oil during July in any quantity ,
one gallon or more , at 25 cts. per gallon.
MCCONNELL & BERRY.
We want the farmers' trade ; we can
not get along without it , and we will
treat them in a way that will merit it if
they will give us a chance. Remember
that the old song that "McCook is the
highest-priced town in the country , " is
a thing of the past since R. T. Eller &
Co. came to town. Call and get our
prices before going elsewhere.
You must see F. D. Burgess about
the great McCormick before buying a
reaper , mower or rake. The McCormick
has for many years stood for everything
that is best in that line , and you can't
afford to fail to inspect these up-to-date
machines , if you are in the market for
any of them.

A Small Fire.
The department was called over to the
old Lenhart laundry building on West
Dennison street , Saturday afternoon , by
a small blaze started by some children ,
who were using the at present unoccti
pied building as a play-house. The fire
was quickly extinguished , the loss being
very light. The children had started i
fire in wooden box , and every tequire
ment had been met for a first-class blaze
when the fire laddies arrived on the
scene and put a dampener on the pro
ceedings.
The building is owned by M. C. Lilly
and the damage was covered by insur
ance. The location and surrounding
are favorable for a quick , hot fire , bu
its early discovery and the prompt arri
val of the department on the scene put J
quietus on the incipient blaze before any
headway had been attained.
Same Old Story.
McCook met Oxford's ball team at Bea
ver City on the Fourth and at the same
time their 'steenth defeat. The score
was 6 to 2. Bliss of Minden pitched for
Oxford and Ratcliff of Arapahoe did the
catching ; besides the Oxford team was
strengthened by players from Hendley
and other places , making a combination
altogether too strong for the Athletics ,
who added another to their unbroken
record of defeats , this season.
OTHER GAMES.
The game at Cedar Bluffs between that
club and the Oberlin team resulted in a
victory for the Oberlin aggregation.
Score , 17 to 3. Brennan of McCook
jitched for Cedar Bluffs.
