The Frederick School House Social.

EDITOR MCCOOK TRIBUNE: We want all
your subscribers to know that the social at the
Frederick school house on Friday night, Oct.
goth, for the benefit of the Sunday school ut
that place, was u success in every particular.
The net proceeds amounted to $lI0j. The
program for the evening as carried out was as
follows:
Music. Miss Mamie Holmes.
.Grouad Out by a Crank"
Aunt Becky's Advice"
"Old Rummie is Going Away"
Song, .......... Minnie Harris and Grace Esher.
IThink when Read that Sweet story Of Old

old Johns Apple Tree"
The Sabbath Day and Sabbath Schools"
Recitation. -....-..... .........T Thomas Harris.
N Rum, No Gin. No Tobacco"
Then supper was served AID it was a good
one and plenty of it. 1t was the intention OF
the ladies who served the supper. to- treat all
alike. The house was crowded and every per-
son seemed to be in good humor and / think
everybody had a good time. One pleasing
feature of the evening was the song by the two
little girls, Pauline and Mabel Esher; one Is 6
years old, the other 5. 1t was the first time
they ever tried 10 sing in public. and they sung
the song twice without making a blunder.
Mrs. George Frederick's cream cake was n
daisy in three respects, in beauty. size and
quality; everybody enjoyed it. Ruthie and
Annie Grundy sold popcorn balls and realized
IS cents which they put into the Sunday school
treasury. and they deserve credit for the same.
After supper was over. and the Sunday school
social finished. Mr.. T.. NJ. Helm of McCook, AL
dressed the audience on the L. l.. side of the
question. He spoke mildly and in%telligently
and a nice feature of his speech was that he
stated his own side of the great political issues
of the day. without maligning or c%ondemning
everybody else's side. The people were all
well pleased with his remarks. The people III
this community would do well to meet in this
social manner often. We hope that the Sum
day school at the Frederick school house will
continue to be a success and that in the future
IT, may be said to be a neighborhood enclosed
in the walls of brotherly love and good feel

THE effect of prohibition in Iowa is
beginning to be seer in the reduced pop
u%lation of the ~penjtentiaries in that
state. During September there were but
twenty two commitments, the smallest
number in thirteen years, The number
of commitments for that month was one
in Z, $50 of the population, against one
in 8, 500 for the preceding sixteen years.
Iowa now has. it is said. a smaller per-
centage of population IN penitentiarieS
than any other state in the Union.

AMERICAN political history has few
parallels to the swift growth of General

he was nominated, only his neighbors
who had touched hands with him and
knew his qualities, rej"iced with com

warmed the pe~rfunctory acclamations
of the multitude into genuine enthusi-
asm. 1t was their clearer vision that

THERE were 1850, 600 tons of stee

THERE were 2. $50, 900 tons of steel
rails made last year in the United
States, This IS more than the quantity
made in Great Britain during the same
period. Now the free traders always
assumed that if we made no steel rails
we could buy them just as cheaply in
the English market as we can buy them
in that market while we are producing
them here on this immense scale. Any
man possessing ommon sense ought to
be able to realize that this assumption
is absurd. Who. that understands any
thing of the laws of trade, does not know
that if we had called On England last
year to manufacture double the quantity
of steel rails that she actually produced,
their price would have greatly increased
not only in England but throughout the
world.
