Proclamation.
The 3oth day of May , in each succeed
ing year , has been set apart by our laws ,
as a legal holiday , for Memorial services.
In order that the day niay be better ob
served and the people have an oppor
tunity to participate in its observance , I
do proclaim the seth day of May , 1901 ,
a legal holiday , to be observed by the
citizens of the city-of McCook , and re
quest that they observe it by abstaining
from all unnecessary labor between the
hours of 12 and 4 p. in. , and that during
that time all places of business be closed
and that the people repair to the place
designated by the Grand Army of the
Republic and assist them in the Memor
ial services.
In testimony whereof , I have here
unto set my hand this 23rd day of May ,
1901. C. E. ELDRED , Mayor.
THE McCooK TRIBUNE with becom
ing modesty entered the aoth year of its
consecutive publication , last week.
THE McKeighan monument will be
unveiled at Red Cloud , Decoration day ,
in an address by W. J. Bryan , who will
be followed by W. V. Allen in an era
tion.
IT has come to pass that at great ex
positions the exhibits the things for
which the whole is in theory planned
are least thought of by the crowds. Are
we drifting towards a form of exposition
in which the exhibits will be left nut ?
The thing is conceivable. f
IN these days the exports of theUnited
States are almost double the imports.
For the fiscal year , which ends with next
month , the exports will foot up $1,500-
000,000 and the imports $850,000,000.
The balance of trade is one of the great
est instances of expansion the world has
seen.
MORE than 90 per cent of the stock
holders of the Chicago , Burlington &
Quincy railroad have deposited their
stock with the trust company designated
to effect the exchange of stock for
Northern Pacific bonds. This is not in
the least surprising 160 in bonds and
$40 in cash for each $100 share of Bur
lington stock is an attractive swap.-Bee.
THE safe rule is to like what you
please , and if you like ragtime music or
unmusic like it bid those who would in
terfere with you go hang. It is better
to be tolerant than to be learned. But
ragtime strains are delightful , all the
same. We doubt if the man who haught
ily turns his ears upon them can really
appreciate either Bach or Handel. New
York Sun.
IT is now reported that Ex-Senator
Pettigrew will be the new executive
head of the Great Northern railroad. It
is known that the ex-senator recently *
made a large sum of money on the
strength of information given him by J.
J. Hill , the Great Northern magnate ,
and no one would be particularly sur
prised to see this once great enemy for
political effect of everything in the cor
poration line fall bodily into the corpo
ration camp to draw a fat salary. Oma

THE students of West Point are scoring
Superintendent Mills because he does
not tolerate "bracing , " "rat funerals"
and other light forms of hazing , as he
led them to understand he would at the
time of the congressional investigation.
It is about time that the students of this
'institution were made to understand that
they must conduct themselves as gentle
men or suffer dishonorable dismissal.
Hazing is a low , vulgar practice , and is
an offense which is accentuated by the
impertinence of attempting to defend it.
Kansas City Star.
BRIGADIER GENERAL GRANT , who
has just returned from the Philippines ,
where he was in command of a district
and did meritorous service , says that
while the insurrection is ended there is
still a difficult task in establishing civil
government in the islands and teaching
the people what American rule means.
Our task , he says , "is to give them good
government in their municipalities , to
protfect them against themselves until
they acquire a taste for order and then
withdraw gradually from active interfer
ence , leaving the town one at a time as
we see that they can be trusted , but we
must have our troops within striking
distance for some lime after we leave any
district , so as to insure it against a re
lapse. " He is of the opinion that for a
long time there will be a great deal of
robbery and pillage , the war having
given an impetus to that sort of thing.

Airbrake Testing Car.
The Burlington has added a valve test
ing car to its repair yards in this city.
Heretofore it has been the practice to
send the valves from cars being repaired
to the round house , where they were
tested. The car has been added to the
plant that the valves may be tested in
the yards , thus avoiding delays in con
veying the parts to and from the rail
roads , and expediting the work in the
yards. The car is fitted up with a com
plete train line of air , and besides being
used for repair work testing , it is also a
valuable illustration of the workings of
the airbrake to employes. It is in charge
of S. J. Ballance. The air is furnished
by the pipe line from the pumps at the
round house. Lincoln Journal.

Will Make Engine Test.
Some light repairs are being made to
engine No. 15 at the round house , and
when the big machine is again ready for
duty several students of the mechanical
department at the University with Prof.
Richards will make several trips to make
indicator tests. The first trip is planned
for No. i on May 28. This locomotive
was built at the Havelock shops , and is
one of the fast passenger engines run
ning between Lincoln and McCook.
Speaking of this the Hesperian says :
The engine "will be laid up in the round
louse this week during the construction
of the necessary reducing gear for mak
ing indicator tests , and a cage around
the cylinders and pilot for the safety of
: he boys who will look after the indica
tors. The plans have been made by
Prof. Richards and Mr. G. W. Rhodes ,
assistant superintendent of the B. & M. ,
and when once put into operation it is
expected that a yearly feature of the
vork of the mechanical engineering
students will be the testing of locomo-
ives while on their regular runs. Next
week Prof. Richards and Messrs. B. W.
Benedict , Fred Dornian , C. S. Ortou ,
and S. C. Campbell will inaugurate this
vork by a series of three tests requiring
three regular runs of the locomotive be-
kween Lincoln and Hastings. " Lincoln

ment will be submitted for his approval.
