Try an acre or two of beets for feed.
Get the large kind , the seed is cheap ,
and it takes only a small quantity co
sow an acre. Plow the ground very
deep ( a foot if possible ) then harrow
down smooth and mark out four feet
apart and drill in the rows. Take a
cultivator and cultivate twice a week ,
and you will have more beets than you
will know what to do with. Try it.
The snow fall of Tuesday night and
Wednesday morning was one of the

eight inches of the racist beautiful fall

was rather more generous. All of which
is most desirable for grain planted , and
to put the soil in condition for spring
plowing ; but hard and destructive on
stock , of which considerable loss may
be expected.

THE TRIBUNE hopes shortly to be
able to announce that the South Side
ditch enterprise "is ago. " The prospect
is inviting. Much now depends upon
the encouragement given by the farm
ers living along the line of the.proposcd
ditch. The money to build the ditch
is in sight.
The Hutfields will farm on an exten
sive scale this season. They will crop
700 acres to wheat , corn , oats , cane and
alfalfa about one-half the total acre
age will be in alfalfa. Besides having
large and valuable stock interests , the
llatfields are among Red Willow coun
ty's heaviest fanners.
At the meeting of McCook Lodge No.
61 , A. 0. U. W. , Monday evening , the

The people of this city are not so
much interested in the success or de
feat of one clique or faction or another.
Their chiefest concern is that men will
be selected for the several municipal
offices who are capable and who will
uphold good government. It is the
patriotic duty of every citizen to see to
it that his vote is east for good govern
ment and progress.
The completion of an enterprise
like the proposed South Side ditch
means great and vital things to the
farmers along the line , and to McCook.
It means the irrigation at the outstart
of 10,000 or 15,000 acres of land con
tiguous to this city. While many acres
more can be covered by extending the
ditch. This matter should receive ev
ery possible encouragement by all par
ties interested. Let there not be one
kicker or skulker in the camp. It is
the common interest and the common
weal. Keep the ball rolling. All hail
the McCook Irrigating Ditch !

election day to prepare your ballot see

W. T. Foster says the next period of
weather disturbances will inaugurate
the great rain storm which will occur
about every 52 days , crossing a period
of about two week , April 1 to 14. Ihe
storm wave that wiy start this rain
period will be due to leave the Pacific
coast about March 30 , cross the great
valley from March 31 to April 2 and
reach the Atlantic coast about the 3d.
The storms of April will all be severe
both from minor causes and the effect
of the powerful electric currents from
the equators of Saturn and Jupiter
which will begin to have a light effect
on our earth. Mercury will pass the
sun's equator on April 2 and the influ
ence of Venus which will have crossed
the sun's equator on the 28th of March
will extend to this first April storm
and it will be of more than average
force. It will effect most parts of the
United States causing a great variety
of weather but the low barometer with
its-accompaning gales is expected to
cross the continent througk the western
part of the United States.
THE QUEEN OF SABBATHS.
More interest was evinced in Easte
t ,
services , and niore elaborate prepara
tions were made for jcelebrating the
day appropriately , this season , then a
any previous year in the city's history
Nothing but the deep snow and storm ;
weather detracted from the attendance
at the several churches.
AT THE METHODIST CHURCH
Rev. Mather preached an able ser
mon upon "Tiis RESURRECTION OP
CHRIST , " handling the question of par
amount importance to all Christendom
with much feeling and thoroughness
There were no special services.
THE LUTHERAN BRETHREN
Postponed their Euster services un
til next Sunday on account of forbid
ding weather and the non-arrival ol
the pastor.
THE EPISCOPAL PEOPLE
Observed the day with the appropri
ate and beautiful service of that
church. Rev. Samuel F. Myers con
ducted the services and preached an
"TuE RESURREC
eloquent sermon on
TION. " The vocal exercises were also
of unusual excellence. The Meeker hall
was very handsomely decorated with
fiowers for the occasion. Both morn
ing and evening services were held.
THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
Held exercises of an interesting and
appropriate nature , by the children of
the Sunday school , in the morning ; and
despite the weather there was a full at
tendance. The interior of the church
was decorated with flowers in exquisite
designs and lavishly. The beauty of
the floral cross , crown , etc. , has never
been excelled in McCook. Besides the
paintings and other effects made a
scene truly delightful to gaze upon.
In the evening Rev. McBride was to
have spoken on "TiiE RESURRECTED
BODY , " but the storm detained him.
THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR.
In the afternoon at 2:30 : , Rev. P. C.
Johnson addressed the members of St.
John Commandcry , Knights Templar ,
in the Congregational church. Besides
the Knights there was a large attend
ance of citizens outside that noble ord
er , and the edifice was crowded. The
Doctor delivered one ofhis powerful ,
original and superb sermons , selecting
"THE IMMORTALITY OP MAN" as the
basis of his splendid effort. Rev. John-
sou preaches a liberal , humane , sturdy
gospel of Jesus , devoid of the greek
fire accessories , and his admirers in
McCook are many and warm. His ef
fort on Easter afternoon detracted not
from their members or the warmth of
their esteem. All in all it was one of
the pleasant features of the day.

Their Second Annual Ball and
Banquet is Up to the Full
Measure of Success.
There is nothing lacking in the
splendid success which characterized
the second annual ball and banquet
given by Division 1 , Ancient Order of
Hibernians , Monday evening. There
was a large and brilliant gathering. The
spirit of the occasion permeated all
and joyousness reigned supreme. The
music was of exceptional excellence
and inspired all to their best efforts in
marching the graceful , stately minuet
or gliding through the mazy waltz.
Reizenstein and his assistants were
chock-full of the divine afflatus and
everybody danced.
The gastronomic feature was likewise
of marvelous attractiveness. There
was such a spread of dainties in taste
ful array that there was no such thing
as resisting the tempting viands set be
fore the guests by Mr. Jordan of the
B. & M. Dining Hall.
The opera house was very attractive
ly decorated with appropriate emblems
'of the order , mottos , etc.
Taking into consideration the weath
er and the times , the order may con
gratulate themselves upon the success
ful outcome of their second annual.
Bean Supper and Uamp Fire.

St. PATRICK'S CHURCH.
Magnificent Decorations and Service
to Commemorate the Resur
rection of Christ.
The feast of the resurrection of
Christ was celebrated on Easter Sunday
at St. Patrick's church with great pomp ,
befitting the joyous associations of
Easter day. Masses were said at 0 and
11 o'clock. At a few minutes after the
hour named for the later Mass , a beau
tiful strain from the organ swept over
the large congregation bent in silent
prayer and the priest and attendants en
tered from the sacristy. The priest in
white and gold chausable , the attend
ants in purple soutanes and white sur
plices. The altar lighted with numer
ous candles whose subdued radiance
mingled with the display of potted
plants and other selections of fresh cut
flowers made up a picture as solemn as
it was picturesque. The musio of the
Mass ( Lambilluttes' Paschal Mass ) was
exquisitely rendered by a quartette ,
comprising Mrs. P. F. McKenna , Mra.
F. H. Spearman , Mr. Jas. M. Burke ,
Mr. Jos. Schmidt and Mr. F. H. Spear
man , accompanied on the organ by Mrs.
J. U. Birdsell. During the Offertory
the charming and melodious trio "Jesu
Dei Viri" was given with most ex
quisite rendition by Mrs. McKenna as
soprano , Mrs.Spearman as alto and Mr.
Schmidt as basso. A more pleasing
conception of this classical piece as
given by their highly cultured voices
could not be more fully realized than
in their rendition. The sermon was trom
the text , "He is Risen , He is not Here. "
The preacher , Rev. J.V. . Rickey , in a
most eloquent and impressive manner ,
jictured Christ's Resurrection from the
grave , showing the incontestable mira
cles Christ performed in proving his
divinity. His resurrection proved be
yond doubt , his omnipotence , power and
divinity.
At the 9 o'clock Mass fifteen child
ren received their first communion ,
which was witnessed by a large congre
gation , including several of the child
ren's parents. As they entered the
church a more beautiful picture could
not be seen. Each girl dressed in white
with veil and wreath , followed by the
> oys in dark suits and white rosettes ,
> e to king a day of joyousness to their
'oung ' hearts. A most pleasingincident
occurred at the end of the Mass , when
Master Frank Cullen , in a neat address ,
> resented the Rev. Pastor , in behalf of
he Sunday school children , with a beau-
iful embroidered stole. The Rev. gen-
leman happily responded , expressing
lis appreciation of the rich gift from
lis dear children. Lunch was afterwards
erved at the pastoral residence , where
, he children spent an hour of enjoy
ment. The following ladies who as-
isted in the decorations are deserving
f great praise , namely : Mrs. R. A.
Coupe , Mrs. Dennis Cullen , Mrs. F. H.
Spearman , Mrs. C. J. Ryan , Miss Josie
Mullen , Miss Bertha Stevens , Miss
Clara Bonnet and Miss Kate O'Reilly.
On Monday morning at 10 o'clock a
marriage ceremony was performed , fol
lowed with Mass. The contracting par
ties being Mr. John Brady and Miss
Mary Ryan. This occasion brought a
large congregation together , showing
the high esteem in which the young
people are held by the residents of Mc-
Cook. We wish the newly married
couple many days of happiness and pre
dict nothing but sunshine in their new
state of life , should we judge of the
kind and loving disposition they have
always displayed. "ELKRUB NOCAED. "

As spring approaches the indications
are that the amount of small grain
planted this season will perhaps be the
largest ever sown in Red Willow coun
ty. We have no general figures , but
the following straws are suggestive.
The gentlemen will put in the acreage
set opposite the names :
Hatfield & Son , 700 acres of aJralfa , etc.
Samuel Ellis , 125 acres oC wheat.
John Calkins , 200 acres of wheat.
John Kandel , 100 acres of whent and oats.
Hiram Bixler , 100 acres of wheat.
Mat & Aug. Droll , 400 acres of small grain.
S. P. Hart , 400 acres of wheat , cane , etc.
C. J. Ryan , 125 acres of wheat.
James Wright , 250 acres of small grain , etc.
James Cain , 100 acres of wheat.
Sidney Dodge , 150 acres of wheat.
John Morris , 100 acres of wheat.
Daniel Jones , 100 acres of wheat.
J. P. Squire , 100 acres of wheat.
D. L. GrigEjs , 100 acres of wheat
Geo. E. Johnston , 200 acres of corn , etc.
Tobias Brown , 200 acres of corn , etc.
E. S. Hileman , 140 acres of corn , etc.
The tendency seems to be toward
small grain. And this suggests to us
again the importance of greater diversi
ty of crops. Broom corn , flax and
other crops should be planted in addi
tion to small grain and corn , cane , al
falfa , etc.
'HO STRINGS ON HIM. "
As Mr. Berry announced in accept
ing the nomination for Mayor of the
City of McCook , there are "no strings
on him. " But he is pledged to main
tain good city government and believed
in . Has for the ' - '
progress. no use the'pen
ny wise and pound foolish" economy
which will reduce this enterprising
young city to the level of a hamlet.

will have good cause to regret having
cast his ballot for GEORGE B. BERRY !
