a matter recorded history in tho social
annals of McCook That success at
tended aud crowned its details and par
ticulars requires no iteration They were
accomplished facts on inception
Tho parade this year was classy if
not classic with dot leetle Deutcher
band in the van and the enrapturing
snake charmer in highest favor with the
young mon she wa9 quite irrisitihle
Then there was the latest hit the
north polb float the caliope and several
other mirth provoking features tho ad

the curtain of brotherly love and pass
on to happier items
The brethren assembled in their cas
tle hall at 730 for business At its
conclusion the wives and guests of the
brethren who had meanwhile assembled
in waiting in the handsome new com
mercial club rooms in the new templo
theatre building were admitted to the
banquet room and served to a dainty
banquet by the brethren The feature
of the evening was capitalized by a toast
at some length by Hoc G W Norris of
our city and by a brief response by C
W Barnes The toastmaster G S
Scott was found as usual with the mer
chandise on his person
A smoker ensued in the banquet
room with the gentleman occupying all
the advantageous positions on the stage
the ladies meanwhile retiring to the

dearest prerogative of the conquering
sex the spiehl fest
A late hour concluded the notable and
felicitous affair
