A SUCCESSFUL CELEBRATION
flcCook Entertained Many Quests From All Over
Southwestern Nebraska
GLORIOUS WEATHERHAPPY PEOPLE
Every Detail Announced Carried Out and a Few Thrown in for Good Measure
Just to Please the People
Though not as largely attondod as last
years celebration perforce of tho fact
that the harvest now in progress kept
many at homo and in the -fields it was
one of the most satisfactory celebrations
ever attempted in Southwestern Nebras
ka The committee made good as per
advertisements and promises and then
some
The balloon ascension and parachute
drop was as pretty a sight as one could
wish in that line a perfect success in
every particular and a delight to all
The weathor was simply perfectly
ideal Not too warm A comfortable
breeze prevailed most of the day There
was little dust No mud It couldnt
have been improved upon had it been
made to order
And for an orderly happy prosperous
crowd where could you duplicate it
Perhaps tho leading and most appreci
ated event of the day wastho balloon as
cension and parachute drop which came
off at 530 in the afternoon in ample
time to give the people from the country
tho opportunity to witness the stiring
performance There was a little delay
caused by the poles supporting the bal
loon whilo undergoing the operation of
inflation falling down but tho act itself
was a perfect success and brought forth
from the assembled multitude only
words of highest praise The day was
perfect for the act bright cloudless
quiet in fact everything conspired to
give the people tho full benefit of this
feature of the celebration The balloon
was one of ten owned by tho Western
Amusement Co of Kansas City Mo
of which L M Bales is the proprietor
and manager Ho had seven of his bal
loons in the air on the Fourth Mr
Bales was here during the day His
aeronaut C Clark curly is a fearless
fellow and his work was highly satis
factory
The oration by Hon J S Hoagland
of North Platte was a thoughtful earn
est purposeful effort aiming to inspire
Americans with a genuine article of pat
riotism a quality esteemed by the speak
er as higher than loyalty It was the
orators belief that- the home tho Amer
ican mother and father held the high
destiny of the country in keeping and
that the fidelity with which they dis
charged their duty in the rearing of tho
coming citizens of the land would be the
measure of accomplishment of the gfori
ous purpose of the land of the free and
of the brave An old soldier a genial
gentleman Mr Hoagland added to his
large circle of friends over the state by
his address and short visit here
It was Dr Beachs grand metropolitan
cosmopolitan and calithumpian parade
that made him famous especially the
calithumpian end of the parade How
ever while no special effort was made
to spread this feature quite a creditable
display was made As the line marched
up Main avenue toward the city park
where the exercises of the day were held
it embraced a number of pretty effects
in vehicles and floats The marshal and
his aide headed the parade the drum
major and Cambridge band following
there was a goodly showing of uniform
ed Workmen then the gaily bedecked
speakers carriage Mrs Barnetts and
the Misses Waites prettily decorated
private equipages and a number of float

Tho race and water fight by compan
ies one and two of tho fire department
packed the streets in the vicinity of
Main and Dennison after supper- when
that event transpired Company two
won tho water fight and company one
got water first so the honors were divid
ed No 2 had tho misfortune to lose her
nozzle in tho race causing much delay
in getting water This is an event
always mirth provoking and appreciated
by oyo witnesses while the participants
are always eager for tho fray
The Cambridge band is composed of
a fine Jot of young fellows from our
neighboring town on the raging Medi
cine They are under the instruction
and leadership of George Sheppard
known to Tribune readers and they
gave strict attention to holding up thoir
end of the celebration the music and
wo make bold to state that they met
with success in their earnest effortSj
promptly meeting every request of the
committee for music and doing much
in tho city park and on tho street to en
tertain the people
Marshal W F Everist and Aide W
II Ackermanwere regular Johnnies on
the spot and easily kept order among
so orderly and civil a lot of people as
participated in our celebration
The efforts of the Blasdell Bros to en
tertain the people were entirely success
ful and they were not stingy of their
work giving two performances during
tho day one in the forenoon in the city
park the other after supper on Main
avenue Crowds witnessed both with
very evident pleasure Their work was
along the lines of hand balancing and
equilibrist specialties This was an extra
and in keeping with the purpose of the
committee to give more than advertised
in the way of sports and entertainment
Base ball had its votaries during the
day also There were games both morn
ing and afternoon In the morning the
local team had a controversy with the
club from Culbertson coming out first
best by a score of 7 to 1 The afternoon
issue was joined between the Cambridge
team and the local aggregation and dis
aster met the visitors by the overwhelm
ng score of 17 to 2 Both games were
largely attended
The auto race died a premature death
in the pregnant fertile imagination of
Dr Beach
McCook has many reasons to feel grat
ified over the manner of her Fourth of
July celebration and few for regret
She had one of Western Nebraskas
best days for weather her finest vintage
The attendance was one to be proud of
though perhaps a little less in num
bers than last year Every material at
traction materialized and was pulled off
in successful form In fact more was
given than was advertised in the bills
What more can be desired
