When one sees so many men who appar- i
ently do not toil nor spin and yet have an i
abundance of worldly means , it certainly <
does look as if they were rewarded beyond !
their deserts. Others are so situated as to 1
find the limitations of life very severe , though
in Nebraska as yet any one of fair ability
and correct habits can secure an affluence.
The great weakness of the mass of labor is
not so much its inability to eai n higher wages •
as it is tiiat U has not judgment enough to \
live within its means and thus secure at the i
outset of life such a position , say owning ]
one's home , as means less obligation to toil i
and spin so severely. Beduced cost of liv
ing , when properly arranged for , means bet
ter living.

EASTER IN McCOOK.
Tiio day so fraught with profoundest in
terest to nil Christendom was observed in n
manner so general and commendable as to
have far exceeded all previous commemora
tions of the event Special and elaborate
preparations iiad been inade by the various
churches. Private conservatories had lav
ishly poured out their wealth of fragranco
and beauty to robe the sanctuaries in appro
priate and festal attire. The various choirs
had provided specially for tlio occasion , while
all ; naturo sang together in soft and joyous
strains. '
AT THE LUTHERAK CHURCH.
Regular services were held in the morning
by the pastor ; the sacrament of tlio Lord's
Supper being administered. There were the
following additions to the membership , by
transfer : and by letter : Mr. and Mrs. Albert
O. ( Ebert and Mr. and Mrs. John Unzlcker.
Usual morning session of Sunday School was
held. ' In the evening appropriate Easter ser
vices were conducted by the pastor.
THE CONGREGATIONAL BRETHREN
Held their customary preaching service in
the ' morning and Sunday School immediate
ly preceding the same. In the evening there
!
was a special Easter service by the Sunday
School. i There were responsive readings ,
recitations ] , class exercises , and music , the
performance ; of each and till were highly in
teresting i , appropriate and creditable. The
church < "was taxed far beyond its seating ca
pacity , by an appreciative audience.
THE METHODIST CHURCH.
Was the scene of a large and brilliant gath
ering an of and interesting service , in the
morning. The members of St John Com-
rrandery ] , in full uniform , attended this ser
vice in a body. Their handsome dress , shin
ing j swords , waving plumes and stately ,
knightly 1 bearing presenting an impressive
appearance. i Rev. Dwire's earnest presenta
tion 1 of "TnE Risen Ldnn" was accorded
wrapt attention. The efforts of the choir
were paiticularly praiseworthy and received
many j merited words of praise. An interest
ing Easter sprvice was also held in the church
by the Sunday School in the evening , when
the great event was commemorated in recita
tion j , song , ete ;
REST THEE , LITTLE ONE.
Death is a silent , grim visitor , and oil ids
comings ' are so frrquently unannounced and
unheralded. So it was in the case of Mr.
and ! Mrs. C. H. Dietrich's infant son , who ,
last Saturday afternoon , "fell asleep" In the
arms of Him who said , "Suffer little children
to i come unto Me , and forbid them not , for of
sucii is the Kingdom of Heaven. " Although
the i little one had not been vigorous and
healthful ] , no fears of death were entertained
for a moment , and its sudden demise came
with crushing effect The fragile remains
were ] tenderly mingled with Mother Earth ,
Sunday afternoon , the funeral occurring from
residence , many kind and tender hearts par
j
ticipating in the last scenes of earth. Feel
ing j keenly the insufficiency of human solace ,
we extend the bereaved young people the
tender j sympathy of many kind friends in
this ( city , in this sad and cheerless hour of
their j first sorrow.
Land Entry Decisions.
Assistant Secretary of the Interior Chan
dler has considered the appeal of Samuel
Sims from the decision of the commissioner
of the general land office , holding for cancel
lation j his homestead entry for the southeast
quarter of section 17 , McCook land district ,
,
Nebraska , and decided that it comes under
the provisions of the act of congress of March
2 , 1889 , entitled , "An act to withdraw cer
tain t public lands from private sale , and for
other purposes. " It expressly gives the
right to make a second entry to one who has
not heretofore "perfecteddiis title to a tract
of land for which he had made entry under
the homestead law , " and refers the case to
.
the general land oflice for appiopriate action
under the said law.
He has also affirmed the decision of the
same officer in holding for cancellation the
homestead j entry of Agnes M. Melville for
lands I in the McCook land district , Nebraska.

kind 1 , Mrs. Reid , wife of Passenger Brake-
