The Insurance
is the only absolutely safe gasoline stove
on the market today It is the only
stove made with an automatic valve that
prevents accidents by the escape of gas
oline from opened valves as the auto
matic valve prevents a drop of gasoline
from ever getting through the pipes
leading from the tank itself There is
no smoke smell or soot to clog the burn
er It has a filter that separates all im
pure substances from the gasoline a
feature found in no other stove It will
be a boon to the house wife knowing
that she and her little ones are in no
danger from its use by accidents Chil
dren can play with it and open the
needle valves as well without the least
danger It has many other good quali
ties and features that we shall be pleased
to show you Call in and examine it
and see it work We also have a nice
line of other gasoline stoves with the
best prices in the city We have them
from S250 up We can please you in

McCOOK RED WILLOW COUNTY NEBRASKA FRIDAY EVENING APRIL 28 1905
Getting Down to Business
The session of the McCook Commer
cial club Tuesday evening was conclu
sive in several matters The club set
tied the question of having a Fourth of
July celebration took action favorable
to a street fair and stock exhibit in the
fall possibly some date in September
and lastly to cooperate with post and
circle in tho Decoration Day exercises
this year
These three important considerations
were discussed determined and referred
to appropriate committees and wijl have
due action in season
The Tribune might add in this con
nection that it is the purpose clearly
defined of the commercial club to make
a success of these three affairs as they
come in order
Tho action to assist the old soldiers
in their observance of Decoration
Day is perhaps an innovation but it
will be an appreciated one and will give
the day added interest and significance
we hope
The Fourth well McCook will show
Southwestern Nebraska a time worthy
the day and city
But the street fair and stock exhibi
tion will be the affair of the year and
nothing within reach will be overlooked
by McCook headed by the commercial
clubs organized energy and gray matter
