A Splendid Baccalaureate Sermon
Tho baccalaureate sermon to the class
of 1901 delivered by Rev J J Loughran
in St Patricks church last Sunday
evening as usual called out a larger
company of people than any audience
room in the city can possibly accommo
date Many were unable to secure seats
and others were deterred from going by
thojtnowledgo that tho standing room
only sign would be displayed Every
available foot of space was utilized and
fully 500 people were taken care of
Tho baccalaureate is properly one of
the red lotter functions of commence
ment week and that of 1901 was no ex
ception to the rule It was a brilliant
inspiring affair and scene It will leave
happy impressions with all who attend
ed as graduates teachers parents or
simply auditors
From a knowledge of the broad in
telligent and liberal viows held by Rev
Loughran along the lines of education
and witnessing his evident interest in
the public schools of the city and in its
library The Tribune was led to expect
a sermon worthwhile one full of whole
some instruction and advice and lacking
not in a high key of inspiration and in
centive It was not disappointed The
theme was education nnd it was hand
led from the four fold viow point of a
rounded and complete education as com
prehended in mental esthetic moral and
religious training and culture It met
with very general approval and was
much enjoyed and appreciated After
the sermon there was a brief musical
program A fine duo I Will Extol
Thee by Mr S D McLean and Mr J
R McCarl an inspiring duet by Mrs P
M Appel of Cheyenne Wyoming and
Mr Roswell Cutler of our city O Salu
taris Hostia Concluding with a brief
evening service of the church with Miss
Millie Elbert at the organ and Miss
Rose Elbert Miss Sadie OConnell and
Mrs Avolena Perrine singing the vocal
score
The decorations of dedication time
were still in place and served the pur
poses of the occasion and evening very
attractively

One Was Quite Painfully Hurt
School children in numbers living in
South McCook have been making a
habit of piling into J P Notleys wagon
noontimes and riding home notwith
standing Mr Notley has mildly remon
strated with them on account of possi
ble accidents from overcrowding Wed
nesday noon the usual program was on
The horse became frightened at some
object in the road and shied with sud
denness and speed with the result that
three or four girls were thrown out of
the wagon and one of them a young
daughter of Sam Simmons was quite
painfully though not seriously injured

The two crooks JakeKohn and Henry
Woodman incarcerated in our county

soap and awaited a favorable opportuni
ty to go butSaturday night a town man
was put in jail and accidentally he took
hold of the lock and it came off at his
touch The prisoners were then search
ed and an aluminum comb etc were
found upon their persons They will
now be kept in the cages Red Cloud

What Credit Is Doing for Our Young- Men
It will in all probability bo a surprise
to many of our McCook friends and citi
zens to know what credit is doing for
our young men at tho presont time It
simply urtres them on to buy what they
dont need and pay exorbitant prices for
goods they could get elsewhere for cash
at a liberal discount
Beware young men of those so called
jolly good fellows who endeavor to make
you believe they are your best friends
when in reality they are your worst en
emies and are leading you on to de
struction They will inform you that
your credit is good here take all you
want and so leading you on until there
is enough against you to cause your in
evitable ruin Then comes the result of
the good fellowship and credit extended
to you in tho guise of friendship Your
wages are garnisheed your position gone
You are made a fugitive from your
friends and last but not least your
trunk is sold to defray expenses
Take the advice of t uccessfull men
like Russell Sage the great financier
who says young men should look for bar
gains in their clothes etc just as they
would were they buying stocks in wall
street But bargains can only be ob
tained when you are buying for cash and
can take the liberty of asking how much
and investigate what others are wanting
for the same article But under tho cir
cumstances of credit you never inquire
the price only the exclamation charge
it when you immediately become under
obligation to your creditor and by the
time you realize you are made a tool of
tho results as above are tendered you
All that you obtain through tho prof
fered friendship is the result of credit
This is not by any means a comedy but
a tragedy enacted occasionally usually
during pay days One instance of this
occurred recently Two estimable young
men realized their mistake and attempt
ed to buy for cash what they really need
ed but it was too late Their so called
friends saw them getting weaned rtway
from them and as they already owed
enough to their creditors for them to
strike the results were as detailed above
