The Red Cross Social.

The Red Cross social held on the lawn
al Supt. Campbell's residence, last Sat
urday night, was a tremendous success.
The social was conceived and carried out
bv the ladies of the several churches of
the city, although many outside the
churches willingly gave their time and
means toward forwarding the grand
work. The large lawn surrounding
Supt. Campbell's residence was simply
thronged by the people who focked to
the social TO encourage by their presence
and money the commendable and patri-
otto work among our soldier boys.
Bunting and flags were the decorative
effects, supplemented by Chinese AN
terms. railroad lanterns and locomotive
headlights, and the general effect was
attractive and enthusing.
The Nebraska Brigade band added a
large element to the success OF the social
by its presence and the number OF eX-
celleut selections rendered TO the great
pleasure of the people present. II
band had been augmented considerably
and poured forth a volume of melody
that as usual captivated the audience.
The ladies served about fifty gallons
of cream, and cakes galore, realizing out
of the same and from the donations
SI22. II, which will be placed IN the hands
OF the Red Cross society for disburse-
ment where the society has the greatest
need.
The affair was of great social worth
and financial advantage and the ladies
who worked so heroically for the success
achieved are to be warmly congratulate
ed, while the entire community feels a
pride in the results secured, for 1t was a
community affair and had the good will
and patronage of all.
Such union functions have a distinct
social value i'll any community i'll mutu-
al. pleasant disclosures of helptulness
and sympathy in unexpected quarters
and in cementing community ties.
Would we had more of them.

Minnesota Dent Corn.

A. G. Culbertson left two samples of
Minnesota Dent corn at this Office, last
Saturday, which recommend IT as the
corn for raising in this section of Ne
braska. It is an early corn, and in nor
NAL years natures before the severely
hot days of the last of August. 1t is an
early corn. but will produce from rs to
IS bushels per acre, and will make a fair
crop in years when the larger and later
kinds will not give any eturns. The
kernels are large and ears filled out. AL
together it seems to be desirable corn.

The New Court House.

Work On the new court house is now
progressing very nicely, after some vex-
atious delays. The building will be
handsome, substantial and convenient.
The work has progressed far enough al,
ready to show that Red Willow county
will have one of the finest little court
houses in southwestern Nebraska, and
in fact in the state. 1t will not be need.
lessly expensive and ornamental, but

same time a credit to the metropolis o.

eismarok's Composite Character

Bismarck died not, as has been report.
ed, a fortnight since, but years ago. The
death at Friedrichsruh was that of the
Duke of Luxembourg. The passing oil
the old chancellor conceded with the ad.
vent of the young kaiser. But his fig
ure remains. 1t is that of a giant. Be-
fore it doomed, Germany was a geograph-
ical dream. He made it a fact. Out of
a kingdom he raised an empire, out of
chaos, unity. In him the characteristics
of Richelieu, Napoleon and Machiavelli
met and fused. He had the strength of
the one, the weakness of the other, the
guile of the third. In office lie tri-
umphed. Out of Office he wanted to ex-
plain. That is a stupid thing to do. But
who is ever so foolish as a wise man?
The wisdom of Bismarck was less leu
ton than Latin. His disdain of certain
concepts was high aud complete. IN
that respect he was a splendid pagan.
Honor, loyalty, square-dealing were to
him virtues indeed, but they we're civic,
not personal. He was a statesman, and
more removed from a saint than it would
be convenient to recite. That which
made him feared was the ogre within
him. When he roared, kings shook,
armies quaked. He was not grand, but
he was great.-Edgar Saltus in Golfers

Useless Waste of Means.

The thoughtful, conservative element
among our east end friends will hardly
be led into another hopeless county seat
removal fight. There is absolutely moth
ing to be gained by renewing the fight,
and a large waste of time, money and
sweetness of spirit can be the only re-
suit. The personal ambition of n man
or a set of politicians cannot lead the
producers of this county to go into such
an unnecessary and useless waste. The
last fight cost Red Willow county be-
tween three and four thousand dollars,
in addition to the many thousands mor
spent by McCook and ~Indianola, and
even the thoughtful east ender must see
some hope of success, other than is now
evident. before he will have an cus
for reopening this fight, which must end
in defeat and still greater loss of means.
Let the cool and level-headed taxpayers
see to it that there is no more loss along
this line. Enough money has already
peer spent in the fight, and there is no
valid excuse for further waste in hopeless
agitation,

The Song Recital.

The song recital given IN the opera
house, last evening, by Emily Jessy Hull,
assisted by Maud Cordeal, pianist, was a
musical treat such as McCook people do
not often hear. Miss Hull has a charm
ing soprano voice, highly cultivated,
clear and sweet. She has fine range of
voice, an easy, composed stage presence
and sings with remarkable ease. Her
efforts, last evening. wete artistic and
pleasing, meeting the approval of the
audience. Miss Cordeal's playing shows
marked improvement and finish, earnest
and intelligent effort. All in all the re-
cital was an artistic success.

Make Attractive Waste Places

The McCook Band, which is favorably
remembered by Omaha people on &C
count of its performances at the state
fair, gave its first concert on the grounds
Monday afternoon. This was played in
the Transportation building and assist
ed to draw quite a proportion of the
visitors to that end of the grounds. The
extra band will be utilized to popularize
the out-of-the-way portions of the
grounds. 1t will play at various times at
the Transportation building, the Indian
encampment and other similar points

The brownies at School,"

The entertainment given in the Meth
odist church, last evening, attracted q
large and delighted company, and was a
marked success in every sense. The
high wind about nine o'clock, interfered
with the serving of refreshments IN the
lawn, and for a moment created havoc
with the lights etc, frightening the more
timid home, but the tables and refresh
ments were moved into the church,
where that feature of the program was
carried out without interruption.

A Lively Incident.

The Clyde divorce suit provided an
other lively chapter, Wednesday after
noon, when the defendant and his two
sons attempted to gain possession of the
Clyde home. The good nerve of the
lady in question and her revolver spoiled
the game until the officer and her attor-
ney could get action. The father and
two IN were arrested, brought before
Judge Bishop and placed under bond to
keep the peace and appear before the
court on the seventh day of September
and explain all about it. Michael
O'Leary went bondsman for the three
defendants in the SUM of $500. Mitchell
Clyde had three dray loads of household
goods at the back end of the lot ready
to move them into the house and take
possession as advised by Lawyer Moore.
But they decided to wait a while.

The County Institute.

The work of the county institute will
practically close today, and it may be
stated that if it has not been a profitable
one to the teachers of the county it has
not been the fault of the county superin-
tendent, who has provided thoroughly
competent instructors and lecturers and
a course hat could not fail to instruct
the teachers III their special lines of
portunity offered.
The TRIBUNE does not wish to appear
critical, but it will risk the opinion that
the teachers as a whole do not get out of
the institute all the great good that is
provided. However, the present has
been a well-attended and interesting ses-
sion, and the fruitful results must be left
TO the future for disclosure.
