Two fine showers last week.

Two fine showers last week.
The way corn is growing is a caution.
Mrs. Vim. Coleman with Maud and
Roy spent the 4th near Haigler.
Miss Dora Lawrence spent the 4th with
Miss Gertie Coleman at the old home
stead.
There is preaching at the Coleman
school house every two weeks. Next
Sabbath is the day.
Those two farmers that quit blowing
their corn two weeks ago wish now they
had kept right at it.
At the ice cream festival in the western
part of this town., Saturday night, one
hundred and forty were present.
Mr.. ]. H. Warfe1d of Grant, Iowa, was
viewing these magnificent farm lands,
Wednesday, and selected a quarter for a
home.
At the Coleman school house Sabbath
school is held every Sabbath and has
been all winter. 1t is ergre and does
not wither or dry up or die out.
By reason of dry weather in the early
part of the season the crop of mulberries
is light, hence the daily ~rations of Uncle
Billy is shortened to two quarts per day.
Every Sabbath at three o'clock in the
afternoon the neighbors, old and young,
gather at some residence and spend two
hours singing and thus the new corners
become acquainted.
Mr.. J.W. Wrightsman of Waverly, Ill.
was looking over this town, Wednesday,
and he said it was the finest country he
had ever seen, and thought it good
enough for any one to live in. Uncle
Billy was showing him the country.
At the close of her school, two weeks
since, Miss Edith Coleman treated the
scholars and friends to an ice cream sup
per. 1t was so highly appreciated that
ninety-seven sat down to supper. Every
body was welcome and enjoyed the occa-
sion richly. 1t is a cold day when the
friends in Coleman precinct don't turn
out on such occasions and have a good
time and thus become better acquainted
with each other.
Mr.. Lee Taylor, since purchasing a fine
half section here, last fall, has built a fine
frame residen &c 24x26 feet in size and
fourteen feet high, a small barn, sunk a
we'll and had a wind mill erected, fenced
eighty acres for pasture and broken up
and planted to corn one hundred acres,
and planted out quite a large orchard,
and planted a crop on about forty acres
of old land. Now Lee is a worker, but
had it not been for that energetic little
wife it is doubtful if he had accomplished
more than half as much.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS.

This department of the McCook soci-
ety's work will be written up each week
by the chairman of the press committee.
Regular meeting of this society, each
Sunday evening at 7 O'Clock at the Lu-
theran church. Strangers and others
are always cordially welcomed. Miss
Boucher will lead the meeting Sunday
evening.
The Junior c. E. under the able super
intendency of Mrs. Corey is increasing
in interest every week. They meet every
Sunday afternoon at 6 O'Clock.
While these words are being read the
great International Convention of Chris
tan Endeavor societies at Montreal,
Can, will be in session. The attendance
is expected to put to shame even that
magnificent demonstration ofover $1,000
delegates at New York, last year.
The Colorado delegation passed
through here On No. 6 Monday. en- route
to the Convention. They will consoli-
date at Chicago with the Nebraska dele
cation, leaving there on a special train.
It is hardly necessary to state that not
many of them will stop at Chicago.
This society is arranging a special mu-
steal temperance program, which will be
given in the Lutheran church, Sunday
evening, July 10th, at eight O'Clock. Elk
tensive preparations are being made and
we are assured it will eclipse anything
of the kind ever held here. Extra seats
will be provided to accommodate all.
The action of the United society in
asking permission to withdraw its ex-
hibit at the worlds fair, if the fair was
to be opened on Sunday, is every where
commended by loyal E~ndeavorers. The
petition to Congress of the delegates at
the New York convention, to close the
gates on Sunday, was ne child's play,
and, if 1 mistake not, the reason the di.
rectory will have when they come to
count the cost will be "We didn't no it
was loaded"
President Clark, Tor as he is called by
his enthusiastic Endeavorers, Father
Clark" ) will arrive in this country. this
week, from his tour around the world in
the interest of Christian Endeavor. He
has been away nearly a year, making
spe eches in China, Australia, India
Turkey and other countries and has
awakened deep and widespread interest
in the movement. New societies have
been formed and the old ones stimulated
to renewed zeal; great good has been
done. His annual address will be de-
livered before the convention at Montreal
on Saturday afternoon.

A severe wind and some hail accom-
panied the rain o~fSaturday afternoon III
the neighborhood of w. J. Re1ph and
N. J. Johnson, southwest of the city.
Only a narrow strip was effected, but
crops were pretty badly damaged in some
cases and many windmi1ls were blown
down. McClain & Nichols were putting a
well down On the Relph place and their
machine and apparatus was blown over
and damaged considerably. "a few feet,
more and the well would have been COM
pleted.) The wind is described as having
been unusually strong.

Gin days gone by the popular cry
which was raised by cyclists was against
the road hogs. At the present time it is
not out Of place for the citizens to raise
a popular cry against the cycle hogs.
It makes me boil to see one Of these
young and inexperienced rattle-brain
would-be scorchers, all doubled up like
an inch worm suffering with the cholera,
tear along our crowded streets with his
ose in close proximity with his front
tire, a veritable modern j~uggernaut.
If every decent wheelman only knows
what is good for the sport he will assist
the authorities in crushing out this grow
ing evil. I do not like to pose as a
chronic kicker, but in these days Of
cheap secondhand wheels and the intro
duction to cycling of irresponsible boys
and reckless hoodlu1ns, it is entirely III
play and perfectly proper to call atten-
ton to these pests who threaten the good
lame Of our sport.-In Outing for July.

Miss Nettie Heis of South McCook
left for Kansas recently ostensibly on a
visit to relatives, but really to wed the
man of her choice, notifying in the sun
flower state. 1t seems that Miss Nettie
has been corresponding with the man
who is now her husband for some time,
but her mother objected to her marrying
him on such acquaintance. So Miss
Nettie had to resort to a little strategy
with above result.

ECHOES OF THE FOURTH.

ECHOES OF THE FOURTH.
1t was ideal weather for a Fourth,
though pretty hot.
Wauneta's celebration attracted a num-
Der of people from u city.
The celebrations at Danbury and Bart
ley were largely attended and were con
~spicuously successful.
McCook had no celebration fiber OWN,
but she furnished the crowds for a num-
Der of neighboring towns.
Quite a delegation of bykers took in
the Box Elder celebration, going from
there to Indianola on their wheels and
coming home on the cars.
The celebration at Matt Droll's place
was declared off, many of the people of
that neighborhood joining in the observ-
ance of the day at Spaulding's and Box
Elder.
There was a large crowd of McCook
people at the Box Elder celebration,
where an immense concourse of people
assembled to observe the nations Column
bian Fourth of July.
The races announced to take place at
Indianola on the Fourth had to be de-
clared off on account of the condition of
the track caused by the late heavy rains.
It was quite a disappointment to many.
Apropos of the Arapahoe M C Cook
game of July 4th, it may be stated with
official emphasis that John Barleycorn
is something of a base ballist himself.
He never fails to get his man or club
either for all that. Selah.
A bucking, balky broncho caused a
wagon load of young men a whole To- of
grief, early Tuesday morning, by its I'M
seemly performances on Main street.
Another horse was finally substituted for
the ~obstreperous gray, and the boys pro-
coded to Box Elder and enjoyed the
Fourth freely and fully.
THE TRIBUNE is deeply panied to
learn that the Arapahoe base b~allists
wiped up the diamond with the boys
from here, July 4th, to the tune of about
three to one. 1t is stated that quite a
number of McCook's strongest players
could not go, which perhaps in a meas
ure accounts for our humiliating defeat.
The amount of fireworks discharged
throughout the city by numerous private
parties would have made quite an impos-
ing display if the money thus spent had
gone into a common fund and been ex-
pended in the purchase of "piece" and
"design" fireworks. We suggest this
course for next years celebration. 1t
will be more attractive and satisfactory.
Over at Danbury they had a rousing
time. The committee had made COM
plete and liberal arrangements for a cele-
bration, and they had it. An immense
crowd participated, and made the Co.
lumbar celebration one of the most
gratifying ever held in the beautiful and
fertile Beaver valley. The management
and people of Danbury are subjects of
congratulations.
There was a large attendance and a
- -
in 1. w. Spaulding's grove on the Will
low, at which place and at Box Elder,
the people of that entire section met en-
masse and enjoyed themselves in the
usual way with speeches, singing, basket
picnics etc. THE TRIBUNE is pleased to
hear that everything passed off in a most
satisfactory manne at both of these cele-
brations on the Willow.
