section of the state conse
quently he will shortly
make some important up-to-date

One Element of Success
The Tribune expresses a general sen
timent in recognizing the efforts of
County Supt J V OConnell of Hitch
cock county in making the late McCook
junior normal school the success it was
Supt OConnell was not only here him
self laboring for the good of the normal
with his stirring ability but his teachers
were strongly represented in the attend
ance so much so that he felt it unneces
sary to hold a county institute in his
county this fall
All Home Print This Week
The Tribune was entirely unable to
racconiadate its advertising demands and
news requirements last week and this
week gives its readers an all home print
Considerable advertising and news mat
ter had to be set out last week for lack
of space We may print all at home for
a week or two more It depends upon
the demands of the business

JUNIOR NORMAL NOTES
The total enrollment of McCook reach
ed 239 while at Holdrego it is reported
as 222 Figures from the remaining
three junior normal schools are not ob
tainable but in point of number attend
ing McCook will rank first as was the
case last year
As the concluding day exercises last
Friday afternoon the members of the
Locke Male Quartette rendered a thirty
minute program of music to the delight
of the listening teachers Each number
was thoroughly enjoyed and roundly ap
plauded
That the visiting teachers have beed
thoroughly entertained and instructed
there is not the slightest question A
computation recently made reveals the
fact that fifty special features were pro
vided not counting the regular and or
dinary ones which is an average of ono
for each day of the session
Deputy State Supt ECBishop came
out from Lincoln last Friday as Mr
McBriens personal representative to be
present at the close of the summer
school At the afternoon meeting Mr
Bishop spoke in a congratulatory strain
to the teachers wishing them success in
their new years work 1 1 was a mutual
ly enjoyable occasion inasmuch as Mr
Bishop had not before visitod the normal
and the teachers had not previously
had opportunity of greeting him
Junior normal school teachers were
delighted with three music programs
last Friday the last day of the summer
session At the morning chapel hour a
particularly attractive exercise was pre
pared as the final one of the series It
was as follows
Chant School
Song Tho Battle Prayer School
Vocal duet Go Pretty Rose Morzials
Mns C H Millee Mrs G H Thomas
Violin solo My Rosary Nevin
Miss Hazel Hare

Me Harper
Mk C H Miller
Song Juan ita
March
Competent and unbiased judges freely
pronounce this years session to be the
best of the three A number of causes
have operated to make it so In the
first place the teachers more definitely
understand what the school means and
what opportunities are theirs to enjoy In
consequence they seized upon them more
eagerly at this session And while the
number onrolled is not quite so large as
last year a condition prevailing at all
five junior normals and due in part to
the fee of two dollars imposed this sum
mer for the first time the actual at
tendance in the classes has been larger
and more regular than usual More
teachers remained for the eight weeks
required for a junior normal school cer
tificate A very fine feeling of interest
has been manifest among the body of
the teachers while the instructors have
worked cordially and enthusiastically
together to promote the highest good
In a notable and special way Mr Mil
lers work in music added to the general
attractiveness of the McCook junior
normal It has been a happy and profit
able summer to all concerned
The River Bridge at Perry
Work was commenced Monday morn
ing on the new river bridge at Perry sta
tion Qver the Republican The bridge
will be 420 feet in length The Stand
ard Bridge Co of Omaha has the con
tract for the structure and they expect
to push the work along to completion
as fast as possible hoping to have the
bridge finished in about two weeks
This will be a great convenience to a
large number of farmers in the south
western part of this county and the
southeastern part of Hitchcock county
Izzer batts are best They unfold
and unroll almost as free as a piece of
cloth quickly and satisfactorily They
are just the right width and length
They do not fall apart in the comfort
like batts made of factory sweepings and
flyings They weigh 12 ounces each and
the price is 12oC each Manufactured
exclusively for The Thompson D G Co
There are affinities and affinities but
the affinity the average cur has for the
nice fresh display of vegetables to be
seen in front of our stores is not most
reassuring
Out-of-town products are not in com
petition when quality and excellence are
considered as factors in flour Theres

A Superb Lecture by Dr Fox
Characters Wo Have All Met was
the subject of a superb and inspiring
lecture by Dr Fox in the Congregation
al church Monday evening The doc
tor has ideas ideals language and artist
ic temperament No man has occupied
tho platform in this city his superior in
any aspect Ho is always wholesome
and uplifting- His good taste and cul
ture forbid playing to the gallery in un
seemly measure
Buta good many McCook people seem
to have had a grudge against themselves
as Dr Mclntyre calls it for they failed
to give the doctor the audience he richly
deserved
It would be a liberal education to
many McCookites if they would pass
up the cheap shows which separate them
from their money and leave nothing with
them and take in more of the variety
represented by Dr Fox
