BY reason of the threatening wealth

By reason of the threatening wealth
er, Tuesday evening, the performance
of "Our Boys" by the Dramatic Com
pany was greeted with slim attend
ance. But those who braved the wealth
er enjoyed quite a treat, as the compa-
ny's performance was a creditable one
throughout. The announcement was
made that the company would in the
not far distant future put Our Board
ing House on the boards, which, with
the reputation established by the com
pany by their late performances, will
doubtless draw a large audience. This
is home institution in which we ought
to take pride.

Mr.. Henry T. Church lost his pocket
book, containing about $50 in cash and
a more valuable note, Sunday, ON his
way from the Willow to McCook. He
went back over the way the same day
but failed to find it, and returned to
this place until Monday morning, when
he again made search and found the
pocket-booh minus the cash, but still
containing the note. He has pretty
good idea who got the money, but. from
the lack of evidence, other than circum-
stantial, will not prosecute the matter
further. This makes the third OF fourth

organize fire company, last Saturday
evening, was SO poorly attended that
no definite action in the matter was or
could be taken, and a committee was
appointed, and the meeting adjourned
to meet at Starbuck & Jennings Office,
Wednesday evening, and perfect some
arrangements. On Wednesday even
ing, the turnout was so small that the
meeting was not even called to order.
Is this matter one of so little import
ance that our citizens will not come out
and do their duty toward forming a
company to protect themselves and
property in case of fire, or what is the
probable cause for such a display of
indifference. As we stated last week
it is not our intention to let up on the
fire question until some definite action
is taken. Is it not strange that 1--WE
never miss the water till the well runs
dry''-completely so, that ''we never
miss the music till the sweet-voiced
bird has flown" that fire company is
never missed until the devouring flames
have licked up the fruits of a life time
of toil-and then what racket is rails
ed for day or possibly two days, and
then the indignation at not having an
organization is all gone, and it is almost
miracle to get half dozen of those
who are vitality interested in the matter
to attend meeting even. Mr.. Hook
nell has kindly offered to present hose
cart to the hose company as soon as the
same is organized-and he will present
the boys with fine one. A little leav-
en-, leavens the whole lump, and on the
same principal will the fire company be
reality if only few men take hold in
earnest. We purpose staying with it.

The heavy rain storms that have been

The heavy rain storms that have been
raging this week, have done great dam
age to the railroad track west of this
station. A number of wash-outs are
reported, but it is impossible to get any
authentic information. Trains have
been and still are delayed, from 6 to 8
hours. The steam pile driver and con-
struction train with a large force of
men have gone out to the scene of the
wash-outs. Supt. Campbell and Road
master Phelan, have been on the ground
since Wednesday morning. Passengers
and baggage are being transferred at
point west of here, and thus, although
greatly delayed, travel is feebly sus-
tanned. A small amount of hail fell
Wednesday night, but we have heard
of no serious damage to crops, up to
the time of going to press.
Considerable excitement was occas-
toned on Main Avenue by number of
wild horses which parties who had pur-
chased them out of the Atwood herd
were attempting to break. AS every
body has different modus operandi for
breaking wild horses the scene was a
variegated one. Here stubborn horse
was being pulled along by two stout
mules, in spite of the W. s desperate,
but Intellectual attempts to hold the
mules back. Over there another W. h.
would be plunging around, lying down
and rolling around, and inside the liv-
cry stable coral, where the wild horses
were being lassooed, horses were tear
ing madly around, kicking one another,
ETC., and making a most exciting scene
to behold. 1t does seem to us that the
brutal way of breaking horses is unnec-
essary. There ought to be some more
human process adopted if possible.
We would like to see our business
men awake to the Importance Of adver
Using to draw trade and people to our
town. McCook is loosing valuable Gus
toners by her lack of energy in that
direction. What's the use of fine goods
and all that if you don't inform the
people what you have, and bring them
into town. McCook amt making the
effort that town of its size and i'm
portance should make. And by the
way, we want man to handle the i'm
mense amount of grain which will nat
urally be brought to this point for ship
ment, providing there is somebody here
to buy and ship the same. Some def
mite action ought to be taken at once to
secure some one to take of what be-
longs to us as a town. If party can
not be found to handle it, let the mer
chants form company and handle it
themselves. We have every advantage
for shipping and Of location. People
who bring their grain to McCook will
trade here, and the benefit will be mu-
tual to our business men. Give this
due and merited attention. We are
asked frequently what is going to be
done in the way of handling grain at
this point, and many tell us that they
want to bring their grain here, and they
ought not to be disappointed.
