The REPUBLICAN has contended , for the past two years , that if the ladies under took the work of cleaning the town and beautifying it it would be done , and properly. . Upon petition by his attorneys , Messrs. Sullivan and Squires , James Garland , who was being held in the Custer county jail for shooting and killing John Sanderson , was taken to the penitentiary , by SheriffKennedy , on Monday.

The civic improvement work in Broken Bow is going in a most satisfactory manner. Some of the residents are surprised at the success the ladies have attained. It shows what a little intelligent ly directed enthusiasm will ac complish. An extensive land sale was consumated last week through the W. B. Eastham real estate agency whereby D. T. Martin transferred to Lon Davis 240 acres , two miles due east of Broken Bow , the consideration being $40 acre.

It is the clay the feeble survivors of that memorable struggle , assemble in their Grand Army posts and aid ed by younger friends place gar lands on the graves of those who have gone before , and holding fitting services to their memory. The rapidly thinning ranks of the survivors show that it will be but a brief period when they will cease to perform this beauti ful and appropriate service and the duty will have to be taken up entirely by the younger gen eration we who arc now at the half way mark in life now , but were then only just entering up on the school days. On this day the nation weeps in memory of its brave heroes. This day arouses a two-fold sen timent one of sorrow that so many noble men have fallen anothe'r of deep gratitude that the unity of the country was preserved , even at the great sac rifice , and that by the preserva tion of that union we stand today the greatest and most respected nation on earth. It is a holy day and should arouse the noblest patriotic impulses in the heart of every true American. * In many places , because of the day having become a National holiday , sports and festivities of a character wholly unworthy of its commemoration are indulged in to a more or less extent , but this feature is becoming unpopu lar as it should and the day is more generally observed now as it was intended it should be , than it was a few years ago. In Broken Bow all business houses were draped in comformi- ty with custom and so far as possible and practicable business was suspended especially during the services held at the M. E. church beginning at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. At 10:30 : a procession was formed in front of the G. A.-R. hall composed of a life and drum corps , Co. , M. , Neb. National Guards , members of the G. A. R. and W. R. C. , Spanish-Ameri can war veterans , school children and citizens in carriages and proceeded to the cemetery where the graves of comrades were decorated , the procession being nearly a mile in length. In the afternoon at the M. JJJ' ' . church Memorial services were held , the address being delivered by Rev. J. R. Teagarden whose remarks were fitting and atten tively heard by one of the largest audiences that ever assembled in the church. Nearly Drowned. Just before noon yesterday the two little girls , age 2 and 4 years , of Mr. and Mrs. S. F. Simonson , were playing and throwing sticks in a pool _ of water caused by a leak in the water main and a hole dug in an attempt to fix it , the water being several feet deep. While thus engaged the younger one fell into the hole. The sis ter's cries attracted the attention of Miss Rose Rogers who hasten ed to the spot and rescued the little one who was just sinking for the third time. After considerable work and application of restoratives , the little one was brought to life , al though for a time it appeared as though the efforts would be in vain. For Rent. Two suits of rooms and two single rooms in the Dierks Block , also three rooms on north side. FODGB & RUSSOM. We Want Your Cream. Pay as much as anyone , test and pay > cash while you wait.
