THE SECOND ANNUAL
Performance BY The Merry Min-
strsis Was a Conspicuous
Success,

Well, the Merry Minstrels have sung
their gentle lays and cracked their jokes
galore, and the giddy old world has re-
gained her wonted equilibrium and is
peacefully pursuing her orbit way.
Their second annual appearance was
greeted by full house and with great
enthusiasm,-the various parts being
received with enthusiastic applause; and
quite few of the selections being en-
chOred to the echo.
Mr.. Reid appeared in a number of
solo selections and acquitted himself
very creditably and satisfactorily.
Mr.. Jackson is one of the new men,
bers and his solo work proved very con-
clusively that he is entitled to his spurs.
He is the possessor of sweet, well
modulated voice, which he handles very
artistically.
This was Mr.. Mitchell's debut with
the Minstrels. He elected great ap-
plause, especially In the delivery of his
grafton, "What Is It,"
Mr.. Elliott was a prime favorite His
rich, full basso has lost none of its
power, and his renditions were full of
his old time skill
Mr. Farrells initial appearance was
decided hit. He sang well, and his
clog dancing made the welkin ring.
Mr.. Termohlen, another new member,
quite captivated his audience with his
sweet voice and the feeling he put into
his ballads
Mr.. Berry touched popular chord
in his various performances, and quite
won the generous applause showered
upon him.
The violin duet by Prof. Reizenstein
and his little daughter Eva was one of
the pretty things Of the evening. Miss
Eva handles the bow gracefully and is
destined to become captivating artist.
Mr.. Jordan of6clated as interlocutor
with all his accustomed dignity.
The music by the orchestra was up
to their high standard and was pleas
ing feature of the entertainment.
All in all the Merry Minstrels made
a good impression, and their future ef-
forts are assured of generous patron
age and appreciation.

II have the honor" remarked Will
liam Weygint, the other day, to the

Three others came into this county

Hunter, all are living in the county
now except George Hunter, who went
to California few years ago. Our
nearest neighbors were twenty miles
distant in Furnas county,

When the entire southwestern part of
Nebraska has become veritable garden,

she will take pride in the fact that to
her citizens belongs the credit of put
ting the great movement in motion.

The storm of Saturday night aud
Sunday was by far the severest of the
winter, and in other parts of the state
arose to the dignity and severity of a
genuine blizzard. Trains we're block
AIDED both east and west of US, and we
were practically cut off from the outside
world during Sunday. We learn of no
serious results, however.

Dedicatoy Services at St. Patriots
Church, Sunday, Feb. 8th.

On last Sunday the completion OF
st. Patrick's church, of McCook, was
celebrated with solemn ceremony. The
anticipations of the Catholics of this
city were fully realized in their long
felt need of suitable place of worship,
appropriate for its divine ceremonies.
At the High Mass large congrega-
ton was present, Notwithstanding the
severity of the storm. The pastor, Rev.
j. w. Hickey, officiated, delivering a
most appropriate sermon; taking for his
text the words Of the twenty-6fth
Psalm, 81 LOVE THE BEAUTY OF Thy
HOUSE o LORD, AND IN Thy CHURCH
| WILL BLESS Thy NAME FOREVER
A description of Moses Tabernacle and
the beautiful Temple of Solomon were
fully displayed by the preacher, showing
afterwards the first Temple and Sane
tuary, namely: the Coenaculum, where
Christ instituted the Eucharistic Sacra-
ment, most fitting abode for its divine
institution.
The choir gave most pleasing rem
dition of Concone's Kyrie and Credo
with the Sanctus and Agnus Del from
Werner Mrs. P. f. McKenna taking
the soprano, assisted by Mrs. +. H.
Spearman and Mrs. G. P. Rinker- as
contraltos. Tenors, Mr.. Carl E. Ter
mohlen, Mr.. Jas. NJ. Burke; Bases,
Mr.. f. H. Spearman, Mr.. Jos. Schmidt.
During the Offertory, Mr.. Termohlen
gave most charming rendition Of
''PaIm Branches" by Faure, Mrs. j. G.
Birdsell presiding at the organ. AT
the end of the Divine Sacrifice, Bene-
diction of the Most Blessed Sacrament
was given, the choir and congregation
joining in the singing of the "Te Deum. "
The improvements of the church con-
sist in the walls receiving coat of hard
finish in white by Mr.. j. H. Yarger,
with stencil bordering executed by Mr..
George EIbert. The stations of the
cross ornament the walls on both sides
of the church, representing Christ in his
Passion from his appearance before
Plate to his death and burial The
altar is magnificent piece of Gothic
architecture built by Mr.. Jas. McAdams,
assisted by MIR. Henry Meyers. Too
much praise cannot be bestowed on the
latter gentlemen for che beautiful and
artistic workmanship displayed in its
construction. The painting of the altar
by Messrs. Elbert and Hines is mag
nifcent blending of white and gold
which give it rich and refined ap-
pearance, as also rejecting much credit.
Two Adoring Angels give most in
spring effect, which are in position on
each side of the altar. They were pur-
chased in St. Louis from the firm of B.
Herder & Co., together with many arti-
cles requisite for divine services.
On the whole the Catholics of Nc
Cook may we'll feel proud of their place
Of worship, which is fitting and be-
coming temple for the enlightment and
of its members.
