Jubilee Twist Plug Smoking Tobace
at Metropolitan Drug Store.

The matter Of organizing fire de-
partment is agitating the minds of some
of our young men, and we hope their
agitation may continue until a fire de-
partment is a reality in our midst. If
such department materlallzes we be-
lieye the Board of Trustees will take
steps to provide more fire plugs-and
they are greatly needed-and other ap-
paratus. Mr.. Hocknell has promised
to present the department with fine
hose cart as soon as said department is
organized. When we say that a fire
company is an urgent necessity and of
vital Importance to the business men
and property owners, we simply state
the fact, and voice the sentiment of
every man who has interests in McCook
Why this lethargy? Let us bestir our
selves, and bring a company into exis-
tence. "You never miss the music till
the sweet-voiced bird has flown" So,
we will never miss the fire company I'M
til, like Alma, our town receives bap-
tism by fire, and a large portion of our
fair little city has yielded a prey to the
deyouring, consuming element. The
question of insurance is becoming Vi
tai one TO our business men, and the
first solution of the problem is the for
nation of an effective ere department
We have tall, straight, manly and will
ing material. Let our citizens interest
themselves and the company will be
forthcoming.

While some of the boys were en-
gagged in some of their frolicking at
the school house, Tuesday, Eddie
Wilcox received quite an ugly cut on
his wrist, at the hands of one of the
little Hoge boys, who playfully cast a
stone at Ed. ''just to make him dodge"
The stone was sharp edged, and cut a
blood vessel from which the wounded
boy bled profusely; also severing one
of the tendons of the wrist, making
the thumb temporarily stiff, but the
doctor thinks he will be able ulti-
mately to use the member. While
the little boy inflicted the wound III
fun, and is very sorry to have occas-
Toned a wound so serious, it should be
a warning to the boys to be more
careful about the kind of fun in which
they shall hereafter engage. Be man
ly, boys, in your sport.

word was given to Ross, and five seconds later
TO Teemer. Ross was a full three lengths to

was pulling 30 strokes to the minute, which was
exactly the stroke set by Teemer But the

Ross lead by half length. Ross steered
beautifully, but Teemer went out of his
course, losing nearly 20 lengths by being swept
toward Lynn harbor by the incoming tide
Ross also lost some from the same cause
Teemer, in spite of this, however, continued
to gain, and when the first stake was rounded
Ross was not more than three lengths ahead !:
at the next turn was length and a half
ahead and rowing hard, while Teemer seemed
to be laboring under difficulty. The latter
held to bis competitor, however, and respond
cd gamely to every squirt made by Ross and it
was Teemer'S staying qualities that gave him
the race.
When the 81 stake was rounded Ross was
leading by half length. Here both squared
away for home and Teemer settled down for
his hard struggle. 1t was a splendid race to
the nnish. Ross spurted and increased his
lead to two lengths, but Teemer soon overcame
1t. A hundred yards from the finish the boats
were bow and bow, and both men made a ire
mendous effort to win. Teemer seemed to
havelsan enormous power left, for he went
ahead with terrific burst of speed that ac-
tually jumped his boat over the line from
three to six feet ahead. The official time was
80 minutes. 1t is regarded as one of the finest
contests ever seen here and as great victory
for the Pittsburg boy wonder.
