of a male quartotte vocal and violin

to the pleasure of the evening
Saturday was a day full of good
things beginning at sunrise with a
rousing prayer meeting At the opening
of tho morning session special attention
was given to tho report of Secretary

of this and last years work It was
gratifying to note progress made in dif

The discussion of missionary work

reception on tho church lawn given in
honor of the delegates by the entertain
ing societies

rationSunday morningto see tho bright
faces of the delegates and local young
people as they gathered together for the
sunrise prayer meeting The regular
Sunday morning service was addressed
by Rev G B Ilawkes of tho Congrega
tional church Its appeal was strong
for more active work among young peo
ple The Junior rally was conducted by
its superintendent Miss Wagey of
Cambridge Tho exerciso was in tho
nature of a chalk talk It was made
most impressive by tho helpful words
of DrFinch and special numbers render
ed by tho local Juniors
Tho convention after the able heart
felt sermon of Rev Simpson of Cam

The convention has meant much to our

position before it is rendered The enter
tainment will be educational in tho
highest degree Admission to concert
adults 50c children 25c Dr Brandon
is well and favorably known throughout
the United States but wo feel that a
few words of introduction would not be
out of place here
Dr Brandon began the study of mupic
in January 1881 at the early ago of fuur
and a half years and continued his pro
gress in the study of music graduating
from the New England Conservatory of
Boston in this country in May 1892
Being still further ambitious to place
himself at the top of his profession he
matriculated in tho conservatory of
music in Leipsic Germany in the fall
of tho same year receiving his doctors
decree in music from this school inl89G
He went from this school to Vienna and
was for six months a pupil of Leschete
sky the best known teacher of piano in
the world From Vienna Dr Brandon
went to Paris where he spent five
months in the French Acadamy of
music From this school Dr Brandon
concerted for two seasons over Conti
nental Europe during which time he
had tho distinguished honor of playing
before nine of the royal families of the
old world In 1898 ho returned to this
country and began teaching in the Cin
cinnati college of music where he re
mained until 1900 In tho summer of
this year he was sent to Europe as a
delegate from tho Music Teachers Na
tional Association of this country where
he distinguished himself in the promo
tion 11 the universal system of finger
ing It will be remembered that this
system was adopted by the Music
Teachers Congress which convened in
Paris during the summer of 1900 Dr
Brandon remained at this congress 42
days fighting for the simplicity of tho
method in teaching against the old ster
eotyped ones which had been in use for
two hundred years Early in the fall of
this same year Dr Brandon returned to
this country and began teaching in Chi
cago with Wm Sherwood where ho re
mained until tho summer of 1902 In
the fall of this year he came west and
has ever since been connected with
some school or conservatory of music in
Denver or Omaha bringing credit and
distinction upon any school with which
he was connected
To The Public
The public is hereby notified that the
real estate and insurance firm doing
business under the name of Lindemann
Moyer dissolved business relations
July 1 1907 and that I L H Linde
mann will not be responsible for accounts
made by the latter W C Moyer sub
sequent to the above date I wish
further to correct an error which appears
in the ad on first page of the new city
directory The words Bonded Ab
stracters appears immediately below
our names This was placed there
without my consent and is an untruth
as there is no bond on file and I advised
against it owing to the fact that we
were both inexperienced in abstracting
I wish to have it understood that I am
not responsible for this and do not pose
as an abstracter
I will continue the real estate and in
surance business as heretofore but in a
new location as the new bank will open
up their business in my present loca

McCook Public Library
There is nothing that we should shrink
from moro sensitively then advising peo
ple what and how to read It perhaps
savors somewhat of aroganco But ow
ing to prevalent reading of the lighter
works of fiction I feel inclined to call
tho attention of tho patrons of tho li
brary to tho hotter class of reading
matter lying idle on its shelves
In lieu of so much current fiction why
not read tho old books thoso that havo
stood the test of time Read tho pre
face first It was probably written last
but tho author put it at tho beginning
because he wanted to say something
particular to you before you onter tho
book Go in at tho front door then
read slowly carefully and thoroughly
