A Feast OF Good Things.

The concert at the Nj. E. church on
last Monday evening was a success.
Each individual sustained his or her
part we'll. All showed careful prepar-
alton in their parts. So that from
beginning to end the entertainment
was very good and very enjoyable.
Some things merit special mention.
The evenings musical feast was
opened with fine selections by Prof.
Ionolli's orchestra, and merited the
hearty applause that each setting re-
celved, by an appreciative audience,
which more than filled the house.
The people of Cresco are justly proud
OF its band and orchestra and their
accomplished and efficient leader.
The yioliniSt, Mr.. Mackett, knows
his instrument; and makes it talk,
there was not single squeak, or
faltering note in the pieces rendered,
Marked ability was Characteristic of
the player.
And what shall we say of Miss
Culbert, the organist. 1t is difficult to
get a wide range of music out of a
reed organ, but it is only Just to say
that this accomplished young lady
succeeds far beyond ordinary expecta-

at the organ and Miss Lauraino Mead
at the piano, Cresco may feel safe in
saying, we possess musical talent OF

Obituary..

Worden strother passed away
Wednesday evening, November p,
1899, after fifteen weeks of pain and
suffering. He was born in Faulkner
county, Virginia, February 3, 1929, and
had attained the age of 10 years 8
months and l9 days. When ten years
Of age he LETT home and went to the
state of Ooio, thence he located in Ra-
Gene, Wisconsin, about 1855. In 1858
he came to Howard county, locating
IN Vernon Springs, where he engaged
in merchandising with p. c. Kirkpat-
rick, under the firm name of Strother
& Kirkpatrick. During the early part
OF the war they removed their stock of
goods to New Oregon, where they con-
tinued the trade as the leading dealers
in general merchandise in the county,
until they removed to CreSco with the
first who came here, having previously
built the south store now occupied by
johnson Brothers. DispoSing of this
store he engaged in selling farm ma
chinery, conducting an immense busi-
ness in all lines at time when the
entire farming industry was centered
In wheat production. In the mean
time he had procured the valuable
farm property one mile west of the
city, now owned by members of the
family and by Mr.. Enoch Strother,
On this farm he was engaged in
breeding the finest Short-Horn cattle
for several years in connection with
his other business enterprises. In 1875
he built the Strother House where for
the past q years he has been engaged
catering to the public as its proprie-
tor.
On June %, 1862, he was united in
marriage with Miss Louise Niles of
Vernon Springs, at West Union, She
being a student at the Upper Iowa
University at Fayette. To them two
daughters were born, Virginia, wife
OF MI. G, d. Nichols of Cresco, and
Miss Josephine, who with the widow,
a sister, Mrs. Virginia Barton of Louis
vile, Ky, and brother, Hon. Enoch
Strother of Virginia City, Nevada,
survive him. When the critical con-
dition of Mr.. Strother was known his
brother Enoch came here to assist in
caring for him, at which duty he has
been attentive since the 9th of Sep
temher, The writer has been ac-
quainted with the deceased since 1858,
and most OF the time had intimate
business relations with him in the
varied interests in which he was con-
cerned, in advancing and promoting
them through the medium of the press,
In all the relations of citizenship,
business man and hotel proprietor we
have found him man worthy of the
esteem and respect of his fellow men,
and which he retained in the highest
degree to the hour of his demise.
The funeral services will be held

litigation in the future. 1t is gener
ally recognized and understood that
Mr.. f. is one of the most expert sur
veyors In the western half of the
state. With him it has almost been
life work and he is especially equip
ped for the work.
The republicans of the first COM
missioner district, which includes
Ogallah, Glencoe and Riverside town
ships, nominated
JACOB ALTMAN
for commissioner. This is one of the
best nominations that could have
possibly been made. There are no
better men in the county than Mr.
Altman and he enjoys the confidence
and esteem of all who know him. He
is good business man as is evidenced
by his success in Trego county. He
is honest and conscientious and will
never support measure that he is
not satisfied is for the interests of the
county. Even his political opponents
will not be greatly disappointed if he
is elected.
JOSHUA CROFT
is the republican candidate for coro-
| ner. In the event of the death or
resignation of the sheriff the coroner
takes his office so that it may become
| an important matter. Mr.. Croft is
| one of our Oldest and most respected
citizens. He is well qualified for the
office, and should he be called to sit
upon the fusion corpse of Trego coun-
ty, he can with as much dignity as
any man we know.
We believe we have given fair,
truthful statement of the merits of
the respective candidates. They are
everyone worthy and entitled to the
full vote of the republican party.
Those who are republicans will sup
port this ticket. And now, brethren,
let us begin to line up. Cast aside all
party prejudices and go to work wher-
ever opportunity offers. If we all
stand together there is no doubt of
complete success.

Possibly one of the secrets of Thorn
as A. Edison's success as an inventor
is his forethought. The Wizard of
Menlo Park does not believe in leav-
ing anything undone that can be done
to further his researches. An illus
tration may be cited in his wonderful
curiosity shop. This shop is a high
ceilinged room, the walls of which
are filled with shelves divided into
pigeonholes and drawers. Here are
kept and properly labeled all manner
of materials used in la boratorieS and
workshops. No mineralogist has a
finer collection of specimens As to
woods, the Smithsonian Institution
or the Metropolitan Museum of Nat
ura1 History are not more complete.
The collection, for instance, of bam-
boo fibre, used in the electric-hght
bulbs, comprises every specimen
known to science.
Besides these, the shop contains
everything that an inventor could pos
sibly want, whether he were invent
ing a new dynamo or a hobby horse
that would shy at bicycles, or devils
ing gigantic electrical reproduction
idea in making the collection was to
provide against any contingency that
might arise.
''I WANT he said, ito be prepared
for any emergency. 1 don't want a
million-dollar idea to go to waste
while 1 sending to town for 10
cents worth of material from the
village store
When the shop was stocked Mr..
Edison thought he would test its
completeness. Therefore he offered
prize of $40 to any of his assistants
who should mention any material of
possible use not contained in the
collection. The prize was won by a
bright young man after a hard days
work. And the missing article was
