discussion it was determined to bavo a
celebration of a character to be deter
mined and announced by the committee
out of the surplus funds now available

Races at the driving park will be among
the attractions
Principal Thomaa brought before the
club the matter of securing accommo
dations for those who will attend the
Junior Normal school June 11th to
August 17th This is urgent as an
increased attendance is expected and
accommodations have not become more
ample The normal management will
will have solicitors in the field soon and
it is the hope of the club that the citi
zens of McCook will open their homes to
the visitors on the most liberal terms
possible and without stint
Six new members were added to the
club by a unanimous vote of the mem
bership present Every McCook busi
ness man professional man or interest
ed citizen should become a member of

ing which was heartily accorded G

fer with Mr Bixler as developments
require Plans are being made and a
sketch will be available soon of the
proposed auditorium which it is claim
ed will seat 1000 people and provide
stage room dressing rooms scenery and
general stage properties foranycompany
which may beseemed for this city Here
seems to be an opportunity for the people
of McCook to cooperate with one who
provides the money in securing an audi
torium which will fill demands for years
to come
The matter of encouraging the Junior
Normal school entertainment course was
broached Messrs Barnett McConnell
and Tartsch compose the committee
which will cooperate with Principal
Thomas is selling several hundred tickets
for the course This will be the only
opportunity the people of McCook will
have to assist in financing the normal
Doubtless their response will be prompt I
and liberal
A Public Concern
The McCookjunlPr normal school
will open its fourth annual session in
this city Monday June 11th It is
believed a larger number of the teachers
from southwest Nebraska will attend
tthis year than over before In view of
the crowded conditions prevailing in the
city it is imperative that special efforts
be made by our citizens to care for
the junior normal people who look upon
McCook as logical educational centre of
of this section of the state The junior
normal is a local instruction of impor
tance to McCook and worthy of the
best support In no other way can we
do so much to encourage it as by assist
ing to find homes for those who shall
come for school instruction through the
following summer Solicitors will soon
canvass the city for the purpose of pre
paring lists of rooming and boarding
places and we specially urge our citi
zens to assist in making these lists as
Jarge and complete as possible Un
furnished rooms and accommodations for
light housekeeping are also urgently
desired Those who will take teachers
to work for their board should report
the fact It is important that we pro
vide ample room for all who come and
at reasonable rates
