At two o'clock the line of inarch was
I. taken up for Riverview cemetery , where
. the handsome soldiers' monument , late
ly erected by the old soldiers and citizens
of this vicinity , was formally dedicated ,
and where the other exercises of Memor

of exercises was followed :
PROGRA tME.
Music St\-j tier Drum Corps
Invocation Rev. T. L. Ketman
Music Stayner Drum Corps
Unveiling of the monument according
to the G. A. R. ritual
Oration Hon. T. L. Mathews
Music Stayner Drum Corps
At command the old soldiers present
formed a circle around the monument
and the adjutant named the following
guards : Honor H. H. Mitchell , W. H.
Smith , Jacob Steinmentz and G. W.
Dillon. To represent army and navv
R. L. Tinker andj. F. Helm. The flag
on the flag-staff was then raised to full
mast , and the ceremonies proceeded.
The Ladies Circle was given prece
dence. The monument was unveiled
and a lovely floral garland with the tri
colors was placed over the soldier top
ping the monument , which stood out
gloriously in the bright sun-light of
heaven in all its plain but solid grand
eur , a credit to the old soldiers and the
citizens of this vicinity and the pride of
us all. The ladies then conducted a
heautifuf responsive ritualistic service ,
after which flowers were strewn at the
base and on the monument. The formal
service of dedication was then performed
by the G. A. R. , in accordance with
their ritual , and this feature of the oc
casion was closed.
Hon. T. L. Mathews of Fremont ,
orator of the day , was then introduced
and delivered a Memorial day address of
sreat earnestness and appropriateness.
Paying a supreme tribute to the memory
of our dead heroes and extoling their
immortal deeds to the highest. Holding
that the war of the rebellion was but
f
the evolution of God's purposeto make
V of this the greatest nation thai'has ever
walked along the highway of life. De
fending war as the paradox of destiny ,
peace coming by the sword , and right
eousness and justice by the shedding of
blood.
At the conclusion of the address , the
assembled people sang "America , " and
despersedendingin at least one respect ,
the most notable Memorial day ever cel
ebrated bv the soldiers and citizens of
"
McCook.
The monument cost aboutr $500 , and
perhaps this part of Nebraska does not
possess its cuperior. The base and
statue of the/oldier are both of Bedford ,
Indiana , stoi : ' , which has few equals in
the land for that purpose. The soldier
is life-size and being elevated on a large
solid and handsome base , makes a sub
stantial and imposing appearance , justi
fying all the pride the old vets and
others take in it.
MEMORIAL SUNDAY.

odist church , the members of the Ladies
Circle and G. A. R. attending in organ
ized bodies , and with the citizens gener

"Helped Bombard Manila. "
They were passengers on the Burling
ton train that conveyed the gallan
admiral from Omaha to Denver , close o
last week , two well dressed and appar
eutly intelligent young women and on
apparently intelligent and well dressec
young man. As the journey advancec
the trio wearied of the adulation anc
honors showered upon the admiral so
spontaneously and unstintedly by the
patriotic populace , and they commencec
delivering themselves of several ant
sundry "kicks" singly , doubly aud ei
trio : They "didn't see what occasion
there was for so much fuss and feathers
about this man , lie only did his duty ; '
"any other man would have done as wel
in the same opportunity ; " "it made
them sick , " "produced that tired feel
ing , " etc. Finally , one less or more
wise than the others felt constrained to
inquire , "Who is this Admiral Schley ,
any way ? " And there came this paralyz
ing response from one of the other less
or more wise ones , "Oh , he's the fellow
who helped bombard Manila. " This ex
plains why the admiral was not seeable
at this place.
Fritz "Stands Up" for McCook.
"Without exception we have the best
town in the state , " remarked Frank
Oliver Fritz , one of Ihe leading men ol
McCook , at the Arcade. "McCook is one
of the up-and-a-going little cities ; modern
in everything and filled with the most
enterprising and progressive people on
earth. We are making great strides
these days , and the volume of business
done in that town is wonderful people
come for miles to buy and sell in our
town. Another thing , it is not a cheap
town , as people look on cheap things ,
but one can buy goods as cheaply there
as he can in Omaha or anywhere else.
Wherever you see a McCookite you see
an individual who is proud of his town ;
and wherever vou see a whole people
unitedly proud of their town you usually
see a No. I town. You can put that
down as a truism Omaha Bee.
The Pedagogues Disperse.

A Parable.
And it came to pass after he had ad
vertised his goods there came unto him
great multitudes of people from all the
regions about and did buy of him. And
when his competitors saw it they mar
veled among themselves , saying : "How
be it that this man is busy while we loaf
about our doors ? " And he spake unto
them , saying : Verily , verily , I say unto
you , in this fast age of push- and rustle
it is easier for a camel to enter the eye of
needle , than a business man to flour
ish without advertising. " And it is so.
Exchange.

It Was Unique and Successful.
The singing contest in the hardware
store of S. M. Cochran & Co. , Tuesday
afternoon was a unique affair in this
community and successful beyond wild
est expectations. Their large store
room's every available inch of space was
utilized to accommodate the large crowd i
that assembled to hear the contest.
Although between 30 and 40 contestants
had prepared to euter the singing con
test , the number narrowed down to a
much smaller number when it came to
the pinch on the other hand , the nuui-
ber of auditors far exceeded expecta a
tions. The winner of the lawn swing
was Alice McKenna , and the successful
contestant for the watch was Reid Mc
Kenna. Mesdames A. P. Bonnet , C. H.
Meeker , and Mima Richardson , the com e
mittee of judges , arrived at the award in
a unanimous voice. Both children did
splendidly. The song was a special one ,
set to the tune of "Marching Through
Georgia. " McFarlan buggies , Majestic
ranges and ocher specialties were clever
ly touched upon. The non-successful
contestants and the iudges were each
and all remembered by the generous
proprietors and carried away souvenirs
nf tlie occasion.

It Blew Some.
This section was visited , Saturday
night , by a severe windstorm , which
frightened some , but caused little datn-
irge. Electric light wires and trees suf
fered a little. Two fire alarms " .ere
cumed in dining the storm , causing
much apprehension and excitement , but
neither amounted to much. Some ref [
use afire in the draw west of town
caused one alarm , and the breaking of
electric light wires and firing the roof of
the Babcock building the other. The
slectricity . had burned its way through
the tin roof and fired the wood under
neath , when discovered in a timely
manner ; the fire was extinguished and
wires repaired. Not a few trees were
3aniaged. It was the liveliest experience
ive have had in some time.
