CONTRACTING PAINTERS AND DECORATORS Not How Cheap but How Good with Us Office and Shop west of First national Bank Steel Ceilings Sold Put Up and Decorated A FRONTIER MARKSMAN Wild Bill Hickoks Skill In Use of tho Six Shooter Wild Bill nickok was the first who recognized tho impor tance of proficiency In the use of the six shooter This was the real secret of his supremacy He was an unerring marksman and shot as accurately un der fire as when firing at a mark ap parently taking no aim Probably no man has ever equaled him in the lightning like rapidity with which he could draw a weapon in time of emergency and in the thorough relf possession that made It possible for him to take advantage of every oppor tunity in savage conllict He had a standing order to his deputies that they should not rush in on him In any of his affrays and especially should not come quickly up in the rear By forgetting this a man named Wil liams met his death at Abilene nickok taking him for an enemy and firing so rapidly that it left no opportunity for recognition He readily killed a wild goose across the Smoky Hill with his revolver Riding at his horses highest speed he fired shot after shot Into a tin can or a post a few rods distant Standing at one telegraph pole he would swing rapidly on his heel and firo a pistol ball into the next telegraph poie These were some of the simpler feats he performed day after day on the street to settle little wagers lie could shoot a hole through a silver dime at fifty paces and could drive the cork through the neck of a bottle at thirty paces and knock out the bottom without breaking the neck ne could do what the fancy shots of the present day do and possibly some of them equal him as marksman with a re volver but it must be remembered that he was the first to acquire the skill and the so called crack shots of his day were poor imitations at best al though most of them boasted of their fame He shot just as well with others shooting at him and at a man as stead ily ns at any other target There were certain traits of his character however that were almost womanly He was fond of children and they liked him He declined to quarrel with the peace ful settlers of the community the busi ness men on any provocation There was no foolhardy bravado about him Denver Field and Farm CONJURED A TREATY How Houdin the Magician Awed the Arabs Into Submission During the French conquest of Al geria 1SoO 3 negotiations for peace were entered upon with the sheiks of certain Arab tribes and a meeting for the settlement of terms was arranged to take place at the French headquar ters The French officers received their guests with great hospitality and after the banquet given in their honor at which the utmost splendor was em ployed in order to dazzle their eyes and captivate their simple minds an adjournment was made to a large hall where M Houdin the celebrated con jurer who had accompanied the French forces gave an exhibition of his skill They stared in open mouthed wonder at all the tricks that were performed and a feeling of awe crept over them as they witnessed the mysterious ap pearance and disappearance of various objects But what appeared to them most marvelous was the apparent manufacture of cannon balls M Hou din passed round among them a high hat which they examined very care fully but without suspecting anything unusual in either its make or its ap pearance When the hat was returned to him the conjurer placed it on the floor in the middle of the stage in full view of his audience He then proceed ed to take from tho hat cannon balls apparently without number and rolled them across the floor into the wings With this the performance terminated The chiefs then consulted among themselves and came to the conclusion that it was useless to offer any opposi tion to an army that could turn out its ammunition in so easy a manner They therefore signed the required treaty and departed to tell their friends in the desert of the wonderful power of the invaders Wanted to See Too Farmer Aseed and his wife came up to London to go to one of the theaters They saw a great many men go out after the first act in which a man had been shot She Henry where are you going He Look here Sairey Ive stood this as long as I can Im going out like the rest of em to see how that fel low is getting on who was shot The poor wretch may be

for the graduating class at York and Beatrice Word ha3 been received by tho public school authorities that the McCook high school on March 27 was placed on the list of schools accredited by the north central association of colleges and se condary schools For a number of years the work done here has been recognized by the university of Nebraska and stu dents admitted to that institution with out examination upon the presentation of their high school credits By reason of this latter recognition McCook high school graduates will be admitted upon similar term3 to any college or university of the north central states including the University of Chicago North western and the state universities of Michigan Wisconsin Minnesota and Illinois Such a recognition represents attaining a certain high standard in the high school injthe matter of teachers and 1 their qualifications courses of stud i number of periods taught library la boratory and building facilities The association is very conservative there being but sixteen Nebraska high schools on its list such schools as Columbus Kearney Alliance Holdrege and North Platte not yet being recognized The purpose of tho association is to raise high school standards and better high school conditions It will be a matter of school pride and community pleasure that this recognition has been given McCook The Tribcxe is gradually providing
