At Work on Subway
Tho company has been pushing tho
work on the subway between original
town and West McCook tho past week
and tho enterprise is now well advanced
The bridge is already completed and a
force of men and scrapers is disposing
of tho excavation question as fast as
possiblo This feature of tho work will
require considerable time as a large
amount of dirt will have to be handled
in removing the grade and making
properly graded approaches to the sub
way
Tho bridgo is covered with heavy
timbers and a road bed of cinders has
been laid over them thus relieving any
danger from fire and making the road
bed practically continuous earth
When tho work is completed and tho
grading done on both approaches there
will be provided travel from both east
and west a safe and easy grade access to
tho city as the subway will connect
with roads from both west and east
One of the most desirable results of
the subway will be the removal of the
dangerous grade crossing in West
McCook
Good roads should be at once graded
loading to this subway
Both company and community are to
bo felicitated
The Ttiijuxe is advised that work on
the viaduct will go over until another
year at least and perhaps until more
propitious financial conditions exist

Anti Saloon League Rally
Tho Christian church was entirely
inadequate to the attendance upon tho
Anti Saloon League rally Sunday eve
ning Seats were all filled standing
room utilized and many wero unable to
secpre admittance It was indeed a
rally of temperance forces of the several
churches of tho city with an uncommon
measure of earnestness purpose and
enthusiasm
Rev G B Hawkes delivered tho ad
dress of the evening and acquitted him
self creditably presenting tho cause
with vigor and effectiveness His speech
was well received
A successful effort was made after tho
service to secure pledges and collect
funds to meet the expenses of tho recent
raid made by the league on the disrepu
table resorts of the city whoro tho
Slocumb law of the stato and tho ordi
nance of the city have been fractured
with persistent regularity and impunity
President II E Culbortson of tho
league expressed his thanks for moral
nnd financial aid extended the league
by the people of McCook who aro inter
ested in temperance civic purity and
law enforcement
To the Business Men of McCook
It will be much appreciated by tho
boaid of directors and those interested
in tbo driving park if tho business
houses can bo closed in the afternoons
Thursday Friday and Saturday during
tho races
The driving park people have not
found it necessary to solicit funds for
some time but upon the account of the
largo purses offered 6270000 for this
meeting in order to get good horses it
will be necessary to have large crowds
and for each race to be well filled to
prevent the association from coming
out in debt at tho close of tho present
meeting
Our people are attending the Indian
ola meeting this week in large numbers
which will result in a good feeling all
over the county and will be a great ben
efit to those managing tho Indianola
fair We hopn all will feel like being as
liberal at home and by so doing you
will make our meeting a success

Early Morning Fire
Fire in the basement under J II

day morning called out the department
and gave renters in that block a scare
The fire was located in and confined to
a lot of cotton batts The damage by
fire and water is about 8200
The breaking of a kerosene lamp
Saturday afternoon was the cause of
the fire Although it was thought the
fire among the batts was extinguished
and frequent visits wero made Satur
day night and Sunday there was evi
dently a smouldering spark which final
ly broke forth again Monday morning
The Izzers Are Here
most everybody knows that now and
what they are No disputing after these
active ten years during which izzers
have gone into every home that they are
the best cotton batts for comforts and
