Andrew Carnegie Agrees to Give Mc
Cook 10000 for a Library
Building
Tuesday of thw week a letter was re
ceived from Andrew Carnegie in answer
to McCooks latest request and showing
in which he agrees to give McCook
10000 for the erection of a library build
ing Tho site for the library building
has already been secured on the corner
just south of the Methodist ch urch and
tho realization of one of McCooks fond
est desires and hopes will doubtless ma
terialize next summer
The matter of maintenance the one
insistent point of Mr Carnegies require
ments on the part of those who wish to
benefit from his philanthropy has been
settled by the city council aud nought
now remains but to decide upon plaus
get specifications and figures and proceed
in seasonable time to tho erection of a
suitable building
In slating that the members of tho
library board and tho citizens generally
are greatly rlolighted with tho result of
the persistent efforts made to this ond
is mildly putting it
Invested in City Realty
This week Messrs S D McClain
and William Zint invested in six lots
on West Dennison street or rather on
lower Manchester street buying three
lots each on the north and south side of
Dennison at intersection of Manchester
Tho price is stated as 84000 for six lots
This sale has created no little surprise
as for many years tho Lincoln land Co
has held these lots entirely out of the
market
There is talk that these gentlemen
will erect an opera house on one or the
other of these plats of ground there be
ing 75 feet front in each This is one of
the most important realty transactions
of the year not so much on account of
the sum involved as in the fact of the
development of west Dennison street
which for years has been retarded by
the refusal of the company to sell these
lots

McConnells Balsam cures coughs
Although the session of the McCook
Commercial club Tuesday evening was
not as largely attended as was hoped
and desired there was a solid working
forco present and several matters of im
portance were discussed and items of
business transacted
The street carnival affair was closed
up and disposed of finally as per report
appearing elsewhere in this issue
The news from Andrew Carnegie was
received with acclaim and the thanks
and appreciation of tho efforts of the
club were acknowledge by the secretary
of the library board There was some
discussion of an effort to join issues with
the library board to secure the joint
erection of an auditorium and library
building
The matter of sewers was broached
but as Mr Meeker is not ready to make
a report to the city council discussion
was held in abeyance
Reference was made to tho need of a
city school building and Mr Barnett of
the school board was able to state that
the board expected early in the coming
year to give the people of McCook an
opportunity to pass upon the question
of voting bonds for the purpose of build
ing a much needed school bouse
Several minor claims wore allowed
and tho meeting adjourned
It would be advantageous for the peo
ple of McCook if more of tho club mem
bers attended these meetings and par
ticipated in its discussion and actions
Bless the Babies Mothers Love Them
Even fathers talk with pride
Of the children and their actions
Then proceed to tan their hide
But the mothers heaven bless them
Know the care of infants well
While the fathers fragrant pipe stem
Permeates the place they yell
Weve a smoker set for daddy
Nice gold watch for Uncle Bob
Or a diamond studded cuff link
Brilliant scarf pin or a fob
But the baby blessed baby
Just among the other things
Weve the best that ever happened
In the shape of baby rings

Troubles Nearly Overcome
A gentleman well acquainted with the
situation on the Sheridan division of the
Burlington says that the recent trouble
there emphusized by a congestion of
business that could not be moved until
emengency measures wore employed
was brought about by a shortage in the
water supply Water is a serious ques
tion on that division of the road Most
engines are run with two tanks behind
them filled with good water at tho ter
minals There are way stations where
water is furnished but at some of these
it is of a quality that causes trouble tho
moment it gets into the boilers Before
the trouble commenced engines had
been pooled that greater results could
ue secured from tnem strange engi
neers on strange boilers water that
foamed in the boilers and lack of water
and engine failures caused train delays
and troubles not lessened by the rapidly
increasing volume of business Engine
men were charged with fighting the
pool system in this way but it was
recognized that with good water supply
at convenient stations the serious
troubles could have been minimized
Good water is secured by the company
at Sheridan where tho wator is taken
from the city supply Tho city supply
is piped from the mountains miles away
Now the Burlington is putting in a sup
ply system of its own building a pipe
line and conducting the water from the
hills for a distance of twenty miles In
other ways the company is increasing
its water supply on the Sheridan divi
sion and it is said thatsuch a congestion
of business as the one recently experi
enced is not likely to again occur Lin

About Sending Christmas Gifts
A few suggestions will help in sending
Christmas gifts safely
In the first place send them early
snd thus avoid the rnb snd crush of tbp
season and the loss and damage abso
lutely incident thereto
Securely wrap your packages Write
your name and address on the wrapper
as well as that of the party to whom you
are sending the present on the card
This will assist the postal authorities in
case the address becomes torn off or de
faced
Following these few simple directions

And lastly dont fail to register every
valuable package
The Whole Bush Push
Martin Bush Oliver Bush and Samuel
Bryan three of Bartleys celebrities were
arrested and fined Tuesday morning
for drunkenness and disorderly conduct
Oliver and Samuel paid their fines and
were released but Martin was taken to
Lincoln and turned over to the warden
of the state penitentiary he being a pa
roled prisoner with but a few weeks
more to serve before his final release
He is the individual who cut the man so
severely in a fight in Bartley a few years
since This is not his first offense here
It seems to be the Bush habit every so
often to come to McCook and indulge in
a carousal
