F. J. Taylor, Mayor of Creston, Iowa,
who recently made McCook flying
visit, has the following to say about the
most promising city in the Republican
Valley. He mentions few of her
attractions
II was as far west as McCook. Just
one year has passed between my visits
there. l can tell you, McCook has
grown wonderfully in that time. 1t
now has round house of fifteen stalls !;
has established water works, so there is
not house in town which cannot have
water in the garnet if they wish it.
They have skating rink there, dane
ing hall, and good many fine dwell
ings, that of Supt. Campbell being es-
pecially worthy Of note, and ] will say
McCook has one of the finest brass
bands in the state, being composed of
fourteen pieces, well uniformed, and
which discorses some of the finest mu-
sic | ever heard. McCook is really a
thriving young city,"

The Tennesseeans.

The colored concert company sang to
crowded houses both Monday and Tues
day nights. They came to McCook well
recommended by the press, the pulpit
and the people, and their singing was
we'll, nay, enthusiastically received by
their audiences at both Of their con-
certs. And Judging from the unstinted
plaudit they received, have established
themselves with our people. Like all
similar companies, they have one or two
prominent features. In this instance,
Mr.. Wilson, the tenor soloist, and Mr..
Hagerman, the jumbo basso, are the
most praiseworthy. Wilson certainly
has fine voice and his execution is
good, in fact few concert companies
have tenors who equal him. Then comes
the heavy villain-bass, we mean. Hag-
erman has phenomenal voice, but he
resorts to some villainous believing that
would do justice to yearllng steer,
which does not add to his otherwise
good singing. Quality, not quantity.
We have the same criticism that has
probably been made against them be-
fore, the male portion almost drown out
the female voices-thus in a great
measure detracting from the effect of
their chorus singing. Moderate. The
Tennesseeans are one of the strongest
companies in their line travelling.

Considerable loss of stock is reported
as having occurred during the storm.
In part from lack of water-the Repub-

which run through this section of coun-

access. All cattle that were fat Jared
well, but the lean, weak ones will num-

of our stock men who gathered up the

he was "laid up with cold and in
fiuenza, which makes it impossible for
me to fill the engagement made to ad-
dress the people of Frostburg and

that Col. johnson was fully justified
