Bulger-Simons.
\ Last Saturday evening about nine
o'clock , Mr. William C. Hulger of El
Paso , Texas , and Miss Ona Simons of
our city were quietly united in marriage ,
? Rev. W. J. Turner of the Congregational
church officiating. The ceremony was
. -A witnessed by a few friends and relatives
of the happy couple , and took place at
the home of Trainmaster and Mrs. J. F.
Kenyou.
The bride has for years been a resident
of our city , ( living with her uncle and
aunt , Mr. and Mrs. Keuyon. ) and has
gained a popular place in a large and
admiring circle of friends as a sweet and
accomplished young lady.
The groom formerly lived here and
' was in the Burlington employ. He is
f'r now in the Santa Fe service at El Paso.
Texas. He was popular both 111 and
outside railroad circles.
No effort at decorative effect was made ,
unostentatious simplicity being the rule
throughout.
Refreshments weie served after the
ceremony.
The young couple were the objects of
numerous , handsome and rich gifts.
They departed on the midnight train
for El Paso , Texas , where they will
make their home for the present , ex
pecting in the spring to return north and
locate in Denver. Many kind and sin
cere wishes for their happiness and pros
perity accompany them to their south
ern home.
"Sound Without Sense Is Mere
Noise. "
It may escape us whose wisdom formu
lated the above -aphorism , yet what
day passes without its verification , on
the street , or in circles more select and
sedate. Yet it is a fact not to be over
looked that mere sound is not without a
moving power upon certain minds. A
tone assumed , worthy of a sacred truth ,
is often taken for a truth itself. The
splendid elocution of an Ingersoll was
subordinated to sentiments utterly vari
ant with the sound of their utterance.
The sound was pleasing , but the sense ,
alas , revealed but noise. Much that is
( offered in the name of religion , may not
\ ' ± luck the tone of sacred truth , but results
'ii
reveal that like a certain dying man's
will , it was magnificent , but where was
Ihe money ? Bishop Andrews says on
one occasion he had , down south , preach
ed a missionary sermon ; he then called
upon one of the colored brethren to close
with prayer , who thus delivered himself :
"O Lord ! Hang our jaws on the hinges
of heaven , our tongues on the root of
salva'tiou and we'll mount de milk white
horse of de gospel and sail away to Jubi
lee. " The bishop adds , amid amens
and outcries the transported and enrapt-
td congregation gave witness to the
power of sound. There are times when
we want the sound , but with it the sense
lhat is more than mere noise.

A Y. M. C. A. Movement.
An effort is now in its infancy having
for its object the establishment of a Y.
M. C. A. in McCook. Naturally , the
movement will be under the railroad
auspices ; and it is stated that strong en
! ; couragement is expected from railroad
sources , both here and on up to the gen
eral officers of the road , who appreciate
what such organizations and establish
ments can mean to the increased effi
ciency of the men in their employ. Dif
ferent railroads over the country have
given strong support to this Y. M. C. A.
movement , and it is thought that the
wide-awake Burlington management
will not be slow to take up such a prom
ising project. A suitable building is
contemplated in the movement. The
movement was given a strong boost by
the presence in our city , last Sunday , of
G. D. McDill , inter-national secretary ,
Y. M. C. A. , who conferred with a
gathering of our citizens , Sunday after
noon , and later with such of the railroad
( i officials as were in the city. Those im
mediately engaged in the movement
feel not a little encouraged over the out
look.
Heaviest of the Winter.
The snow storm which prevailed over
this state , commencing last Saturday
afternoon , was the heaviest of the win
ter. It was especially heavy in eastern
and southern part of the state , interfer
ing not a little with railroad traffic for
a while. The fall of snow was heavy
and there was considerable wind but.
fortunately , the snow "was wet and the
drifting was not so bad as it would other
wise have been. On the Western divis
ion considerable difficulty was experi
enced with the drifting snow on the
Kansas City line from Oxford east and
on the Sunflower branches , but the main
line was not effected. The temperature
fell as low as six to eight degrees below
.
zero , and reached below zero a number
of mornings , this week.

Weneedan Auditorium.
The need is acknowledged by all ; but
the real question is. shall we have an
auditorium ? that is are we willing to go
down into our jeans deep enough to en
courage a company to go on with the
work ? If we are , we can doubtless get
the auditorium , this coming summer.
There is a large element of philanthropy
in opera-house and auditorium building
such buildings are usually losing ven
tures hence the necessity of the com
munity doing its part , for an auditorium
would be a public blessing.
The committee having the project in
charge is quietly investigating plans and
getting some preliminary figures and we
hope soon to have something more defi
nite to offer our readers.
We have some new things in stock
foods , chicken remedies and egg makers
and can increase your profits both on
stock and eggs.
