The basis for the predictions is found in
the large amount of snow that has fallen

falls of snow in the mountains in the

of rain in the territory east the suc

EASTER IN THE CHURCHES.
The Easter season was observed by all
the churches in the cilv last Sunday.
While the weather was not at all propit
ious for the occassion the exercises at the
different churches were liberally at
tended.
At the Methodist church the children
and young people were given the tlav ,
and rendered a very pretty program in
the forenoon. They had not an elab
orate but very beautiful display of !
potted plants and flowers, among them
the universal emblem, the lily. Super
intcndent Woodruff conducted the ex
ercises. The program consisted of
vocal music, recitations and respousiv**
reading. A choir of girls reudered sev
eral selections and one selection was
sung by a class of little girls. The little
folks with their chubby hands and
1 round smiling faces made interesting
spectacles as they recited pieces which
brought to the thought of the listeners
the story of the resurrection, Rev
Hutchinson made a few remarks and a
collection followed for the benefit of
foreign missions.
| A great outpouring of people greeted
the Presbyterians, who held their exer
cises in the eveulng. The church was
crowded to its utmost capacity and many
were turned away unable to gain admit
tance. Miss Lowne superintended the
program, which opeued with a selection
front Smith’s orchestra. Rev. E Giant
Hutchinson of the Methodist church
offered prayer. The children of the
Sunday school came ou with their share
in the exercises in songs and recitations
All performed their parts well and
some were especially praiseworthy.
The orchestra rendered several selections
during the evening which added much
to the merit of the program. A solo
sung by Mrs Minnick was a pleasing
! feature.
An unusually large congregation at
tended the Catholic church Sunday
morning. The alter was beautifully
j decorated with llowers appropriate to
j the occasion The choir rendered some
! very choice selections epocially pre
pared for Easter. Easter, like Christmas,
is a day when all the world rejoices; the
cares and sorrows disappear and every
oue appears happy. Voices dispense
sweeter music and all things seem aglow
with a spirit of love and tenderness.
How much happier all would he if the
same spirit prevailed every day.
If you litre good singing, dancing and
good specialties, don't tail to see the
lmsons at the opera house, the 10, 11
andl2th. The opening bill will be a
cyclone of fun aud amusement.

supporters were alleged to have joined
the Davis crowd. Some tall rustling
was done Monday and Tuesday, and
interest grew with the campaign.

A Frontier reporter approached
Mayor elect Harmon yesterday evening
on the matter of appointments and the
policy of the new administration, lie
said that peihafis some changes would
be made in offices under bis jurisdiction
bnt he was not yet prepared to make
any statements as to the future of the
city government, saying that he would
first have to familiarize himself with its
needs. The saloon license, he said,
while he did not know as it would be
increased, would not be lowered any.
Iu regard Jo continuing the electric
lights Mr. Harmon said that he thought
it would be a backward step to do away
with them and so far as he was concern
ed he wished them conliuued. However,
he would investigate the matter and
ascertain the feelings of the citizens,
placing their welfare above his own
wishes.

Sioux City Times: The board of
directors of the Iowa State National
bank has created another vice-presi
dency and elected John McHugh to fill
the position. There are no other
changes. U. A. Jandt remains the
other vice-president. Mr. McHugh for
several years was cashier of the State
Bank of O’Neill, O'Neill, Neb , and was
largely interested in farm lands along
the line of the Sioux City, O'Neill and
Western railway. He removed last year
to Sioux City and became the treasurer
for the Iowa Loan and Trust company.
He resigned that position to become
identified with the Iowa State Natioual
bank. _
The many friends of Mr. McHugh
in this city will be pleased to learn that
his financial acumen has been recognised
in bis new home and that he has been
selected to fill one of the most important
position in one of the leading banking
institutions in western Iowa and wish
him prosperity and success in his new
position. The Frontier is always
pleased to chronicle the success, politi
cal as otherwise, of former O’Neillites
and in no case does it gratify us more
than in this one. Here’s our QT, Me,

both profitable and pleasant.
