Brewer started fo the Omaha market with seven car-load of fat cattle. Six oars were purchnsei from S. P. Hart , the other load fron the flat fields. McCook , like most every community has the moral reformer who is also a moral coward. He is at all times anx ions that the law should be cnforce < but he does not want it known that he had anything to do with enforcing it. The Commercial House under the new proprietor is getting along very smoothly. Mr. Wolfe is getting on to the ropes in good form and is keeping the house up to its old-time excellence and popularity , and is enjoying an en couraging patronage. George B. Berry is a McCook boy a good citizen , an active business man and thoroughly identified with every movement for the city's progress. He stands square with all elements , wil serve all faithfully alike , and be the Mayor of the whole people , regardless of political or personal condition. Nebraska is a young men's state McCook a young men's city and it is befitting that McCook's next Mayor should be a young man. George B. Berry , an energetic , successful young business man , is his name. Awake to present condition ; sensible of her future prospects ; Mr. Berry will make an in telligent , conservative , active Mayor , who will uphold the integrity and dig nity of the best city of its class in this commonwealth. Speed the Culbertson ditch ! Success attend the splendid enterprise ! And yet , right here at the outstart , our Cul bertson friends will do well to remem ber and observe that their interference will not be brooked in other irrigation nterprises proposed and being project ed by other communities andindividuals. Away with hoggishness and selfishness , intrigue and interference. Forward every enterprise which will result in the waters of our priceless streams being spread over our fertile acres. The snowfall during the storm of Tuesday and Wednesday was undoubt edly the heaviest of the season , and must have been over a foot in depth on the level. Trains were delayed , and business generally was about suspended during its continuance. Aside from the fact that stock must have suffered severely , this unusual fall of snow will be of immense , value to agricultural in terests , especially to those who have their spring wheat planted. We have no reports , but inasmuch as stock are poor and weak and feed scarce , it may be expected that the Storm King has gathered in many an animal. THE TRIBUNE does not paint any fancy pictures to induce people to in vest in farms in this section , but it does state what it knows to be true , that the county of Red Willow and many of its neighbors present as good opportunities as anyinteliigentandindustrious farmer need look for. The advantages are fine climate , pure water , fertile soil , excel lent schools , a superior population , and a fair market is had in McCook. The man who farms here with tbc skill and industry that he has been compelled to employ further east can show more sat isfactory results in ten years time , he can own a better and a larger farm that will increase in value every year , and if he has sons he will be enabled to give them a start in life sucli as he could never hope to do in the agricultural sec tions of the east. Reizenstein's parlor is recognized headquarters for the best cigars and to baccos. Joe also carries a nice line of smokers' articles.

This is Passion week. HOW WE LIVE ! It is u small , contemptible mid igno ble characteristic of man that seeks ad vancement at the expense of another's prosperity. Yet this menu trait per meates many communities. One sec tion of country endeavoring to uphuilc itself by mendacious misrepresentation of another section. A state basely seeking wealth by filching another's fair fame. The east belittles the west , the north points the finger of scorn at southron lands. Even here in our own fair Ne braska the uncanny trait appears. And the drouth-stricken western counties have to bear the double burden of lo'st crops and unfavorable , untruthful ad vertising by eastern counties , who should be content with their golden harvest from our distresses * So with rival cities and individuals : frequently more intent upon tearing down another than in upbuilding self. The newspapers are full of it. How this man never raised anything in Ne braska , ( where tens of thousands pros per ) , but grew rich without exertion in Oregon. And so ad naseum. The fact of the matter is this : All places have their drawbacks. All their advantages. Some people never succeed anywhere or under any circumstances. Others by dint of industry , economybrainsand energy succeed anywhere and despite environment. So this man leaves Fron tier county and lies about her to the Portland newspaper boomer. And the other man departs from McCook and forthwith forgets what manner of city it is. is.THE THE TRIBUNE believes that no one ingratiates himself into the confidence and esteem of a community by crying down the state or city whence he emi grated. Nor does he injure the place lie left. He only emphasizes his own failure , and perhaps unwittingly exhib its a disposition to shade the truth. Away with this unmanly tendency. Carve out your fortune by fair , vigqr- ous , honorable means , nations , states , communities , individuals , all. The following sample bricks are hand ed us and we give them in order to make the closer local application : WHY HE CAME. The gentleman's name is Leonard Willis. To the reporter who approach ed him , he said : "I have just arrived here from Ne- jraska , having lived for a number of years in Frontier county. I own a farm of 160 acres there , but for three years L have not raised enough to feed a shoat ! or a week. We kept thinking that next season' would be better than the ast , but finally I came to the conclu sion that our country was like the with ered bush and would never blossom , so . pulled up stakes and came to Oregon. LOOKING FOR A HOMESTEAD. I want to find a homestead , but I understand that I will have to pay an agent over $100 to locate me on a de sirable piece of land. 1 shall stay here a few days and then strike into the valley , going as far south , perhaps , as the Rogue river country , or down about } oos bay , where , I understand , un- taken land is quite plentiful. I do not care to go over to Washington , for I > elieve Oregon is the country that will uit all mankind. If I find a good > lace and feel satisfied , 1 am confident hat I can induce 200 fdmilies to follow me from my old-home county. Thousands of men would start from Nebraska to-morrow if they could only ell their unproductive farms. Many of them are deeply in debt , and badly iscouraged , too. " Daily Telegram , 'ortland , Oregon. Dr. Stutzman returned from McCook , ast Friday , and brought his family , 'hey have moved into the Miles prop- rty , north of Mr. Bolton , and are now 'ull-fledged Davenport citizens. The ) r. reports everything in a demoralized ondition at McCook , and four-fifths of he property for sale at almost any > rice. Car after car of provision , fuel and clothing are coming in there and if t were not for this people in Red Wil- ow county would starve and freeze to leath. He says he is glad to get out of the place. Journal. TO THE PUBLIC. April 1st I shall move into the store oem in the Union block recently vacat- d by Lytle & Co. In. addition to the took that I now carry of fruits , can- ies , bread , cakes , vegetables , etc. . 1 hall then keep a fine line of staple and ancy groceries , and hope to merit a hare of your patronage in that depart ment.

At St. Patrick's Church the services during this week , Holy Week , are of a. very interesting nature. Holy Thursday the Catholic church commemorates the institution by our Savior of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass , and the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar. This commemoration she has celebrated from the first ages of christ- anity. Ihe crucifix on this day is cov ered with a white veil in memory of the sacred institution of the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar. The Priest comes to the Altar robed in white vest ments ; the "Gloria in Excelsis" ' is solemnly sung accompanied by the ring ing of bells , and all Christians are ex horted to render praise and gratitude to the Lord for having instituted the Blessed Feast of Love. After the Gloria the bells are silent until Holy Saturday , to indicate the church's mourning for the passion and death of Jesus ; to urge us also to spend these days in silent sorrow , meditating on the sufferings of Christ. At the Mass the Priest consecrates two Hosts , one of which he consumes , and the other he preserves in the chalice for the follow ing day , because no consecration takes place on Good Friday. After Mass the consecrated Host is taken to the repos itory , which is beautifully decorated , and remains their until the Mass of the Presanctified on Good Friday. This signifies Christ's going to Mount Olivet where His Godhead was concealed till his crucifixion. On Good Friday , the greatest day from beginning to its end , the designs which God had from all eternity were perfected , as Jesus Himself expressed when He said"'all is consummated , ' ' for on this day He died for mankind , being nailed to a cross between two thieves. Holy Saturday derives its name be cause on this day Jesus , the Holy of Holies , rested in the sepulchre and be cause on this day the church blesses everything that is used for divine service. Easter Sunday commemorates the res urrection of Christ from the dead , the day on which Jesus , the true East er Lamb , took away our sins by His blood , freed us from the angel of etern al death , and passed us over to the freedom of the children of God. The services at St. Patricks will be at 9 o'clock , A. 31. , Thursday , Friday and Saturday. Friday evening at 7:30 , comprising a sermon on the Passion of our Lord. Easter Masses at 9:00 : and 11:00 o'clock. A if AT IN SHOES. Ladies French Dongola Kid hand turned shoes , every -pair warranted , at S3.QO ! Ladies Fine Dongola Boots FOR E = Ladies Fine Kid Boots !
