TWENTY SECOND YEAR
Miss Carrie Ashmores Good Fortune
The following account of tho good
fortune that has come to a former Red
willow county girl is taken from the
Denver Daily Times of last Saturday
The Ashmores were residents of India
nola in the early days and Miss Carrie
is well known to the early residents of
McCook who will join The Tribune in
very warm and hearty congratulations
The paper states The deft fingers of
Miss Carrie Ashmore aro no longer busy
with tho ribbons and artificial roses in
the millinery department of the dry
goods store of A T Lewis Son A
few days ago she learned that her share
of the fortune of a rich uncle who re
cently died was S6G000 and Wednesday
of this week she loft Denver for the old
home of the family in Ashmore 111 to
claim her inheritance Her uncle was
one of the founders of tho town which
boars the family name and now Miss
Ashmore will bo able to livo in comparative-
affluence among her family and
friends with a garden of real roses if
she cares to have them in place of the
artificial flowers which have been the
source of her livelihood for so long
She was a sweet and modest girl
said Mrs Holbrook the head of the de
partment today and had little to say
about her good fortune She did not
mention the matter to any one except
Mr Lewis and myself and she would
probably have stayed with us longer if it
had not been for the questions of in
quisitive associates She seemed to
shrink from the prominence which her
good fortune brought her
For seven years she had been in the
employ of the store in one department
or another and at one time was at the
counter where shirtwaists are sold but
although she was well liked and re
spected I do not know that she had any
intimate friends among her associates in
the store She was an unassuming little
lady and never communicative about
hor family affairs
An Entertaining Instructive Lecture
St Patricks church was well filled
Thursday night by an expectant aud
dience to enjoy Eev Stfitchs lecture
on The Search for the Grail or Ideal
ism in Literature Besides having in
tho exquisite legend of the Holy Grail
one of the most charming of subjects for
flights of oratory and imagination Rev
Stritchs sub title Idealism in Litera
ture gave the widest range to fancy
The reverend gentleman is a highly cul
tured member of the literati and com
bines a pleasing personality with quite
conspicuous eloquence He followed
the Tennyson Lowell text and easily
carried his hearers up dizzy heights of
mysticism through mazy imagery and
figurative flights and climaxed with the
assurance that none but the pure un
selfish and Godlike none but Sir Gala
hads could hope to find the cup of Gods
presence and abide there A beauteous
legand a consummate practical appli
cation

Republican Valley Can Do As Well
That part of Colorado north of Denver
is probably the best developed sugar
beet territory in the United States hav
ing six large sugar factories within a
radius of fifteen miles These factories
have a combined daily capacity of 5600
tons of beets and will usually run 100
days each season They pay to the
farmers in that vicinity 2800000 an
nually for their beets
Land in this territory has rapidly ad
vanced from 50 to 150 per acre since
the sugar beet industry was introduced
in that section This is but one of
several places in Colorado where this has
been accomplished It is within the
possibilities to do as well in the Re
publican Valley in Nebraska if the farm
ers and others take as firm hold as did
those people in that region of Colorado
The Tribune believes that the people
of the Republican Valley can not afford
to allow this industry to languish this
year but that they should take firmer
hold and more energetically and intelli
gently push the cultivation of sugar
beets in 1904
A Week of Cold Weather

The Y M C A Proposition
McCook now seems to bo confronted
with a Y M C A proposition squarely
and fairly The alleged attitude of the
Burlington management the recent com
pletion of a rest house for employees in
Chicago and tho support of similar in
stitutions at Creston Iowa and other
points together with favorable expres
sions of high officials along this line
make the proposition attractive
Harmonious with this sentiment State
Secretary Bailey of Omaha made a trip
to McCook Tuesday evening and ad
dressed briefly gatherings in the Bap
tist Methodist and Congregational
churches stating as succintly as might
be the advantages of the Y M C A
building and management especially in
a railroad center like McCook Tho
force of his statements was felt by all
present and the indications now are that
an earnest effort will be made to secure
such a building at this place
It will mean that McCook will have to
put up a number of thousand dollars
which sum it is expected the Burlington
railroad company will at least double
In slang words it will shortly be up
to McCook to determine whether or not
the proposed building shall materialize
Still Another Clue
A letter received at tho police station
yesterday from Officer L T Baker of
the state penitentiary at Lansing Kan
says that John Galvinthe man who was
arrested after trying to pass some mutil
lated bills at the Crete bank and who is
now being held has been identified as a
former convict The letter says that he
was in the penitentiary there for five
years on a charge of shooting
a sheriff who attempted to arrest him
for burglarizing a store He then went
under the Dame of T J Calvin and he
was sent up from Labette county He
is a coal miner by trade Officer Baker
thinks he had the money planted
while he was in custody and was trying
to get rid of it when arrested A picture
of him has been sent for identification
to J W Hupp of the Lebanon bank in
Red Willow county which was robbed
