Patronize home industries. That
sounds old and trite ; but the advice is
full of wisdom. That's the way to build
up home institutions. Thai's the way
towns and cities are built. Its reci

Reizenstein advocates the idea , and in
vites the people of McCook and vicinity
to call at his parlor when they are look
ing for a first-class cigar , and become
converts to that doctrine. Joe makes
right here in our city goods of the best
quality for the money. He accordingly
solicits the patronage of our people.

The buffalos.arrived in McCook , last
Friday evening , and are quietly grazing
on school section 16 , about two miles
northeast of the city , which Mr. Hock-
nell has offered for their pasturage and
which has been fenced for their accom
modation. They numberahout 80 head ,
and comprise the largest herd on earth.
The early days of the week the herd
grazed over the vacant land adjoining
the city on the north and scores of people
ple took advantage of the opportuni
ty to inspect the 30 or 40 thousand
dollars' worth of bison in the Buffalo
Jones herd. No doubt section 16 will
be the objective point of many a pil
grimage from citizens and visitors , this
summer , to see the noble animal that
once held undisputed possession of this
entire section of country.
Saturday , Mr. L. J. Holland submit
ted a plat and plans' of his irrigating
ditch. According to what knowledge
we have of irrigation and the water sup
ply here his plans are feasible. The
Red Willow which affords an abundant
supply of water has been dammed just
below the railroad crossing , and a flood
ditch has been constructed which car
ries off all surplus water , allowing none
to go over the dam. The main ditch is
cut for about a mile and a half and the
work is moving along steadily. A num
ber of reservoirs will be constructed at
different points along the channel for
storing water and in case the Willow
cannot supply the demand Mr. Holland
has a plan for tapping the underflow ,
which will furnish an inexhaustible sup
ply. The survey for the ditch passes
through Indianola on the street just
south of the court house and Mr. H.
expects by fall to haye the water flow
ing through our city. Herald.
A GREAT DAY.
That Decoration Day holds an exalted
place in the hearts of the people is an
nually attested by the unanimous way
they lay aside for the nonce their sev
eral business and professional affairs ,
and turn out en masse to decorate the
veterans' graves with choicest flowers ,
and to engage in appropriate exercises
in their sacred memory. Lust Saturday
was no exception to the rule , on the
contrary the exercises were of unusual
interest ami the outpouring of people
more general.
The exercises at the opera hall con
sisted of patriotic music by the band ,
singing of appropriate songs by the
school children , prayer by Post Chap
lain Berry , reading of orders by Adju
tant Wilcox , and closing with an elo
quent oration befitting the occasion by
Rev. P. S. Mather. The hall was not
adequate to the concourse of people.
The parade then formed and the col
umn proceeded to Longview cemetery
in the following order : McCook Band ;
Sons of Veterans ; a white pony bearing
floral offerings on a handsome black
velvet robe in which the letters "G. A.
R. " had been worked in gold ; thirteen
boys mounted on ponies to represent
the original states ; Goddess ot Liberty
and children representing all the states ;
J. K. Barnes Post , veterans , and W. R.
C. , in carriages ; fire department ; citi
zens in carriages etc. The procession
was perhaps the longest ever seen in
McCook. At the cemetery the exer
cises were impressive. There were recitations
itations- , vocal and instrumental music ,
the graves of the departed heroes were
lavishly bedecked with flowers , a grand
salute was fired by the Sons of Veter
ans , and after a short address by Com
mander Welles they disbanded.
The weather was propitious ; the at
tendance large ; the exercises replete
with patriotism and interest ; and withal
it was a highly creditable celebration
of a grand day.
CLOSING EXERCISES.
The closing exercises of the public
schools held in the Lutheran church ,
last Friday evening , formed one of the
brightest and most interesting enter
tainments of that character ever given
in this city. Long before the opening ,
standing room on the lower steps was
at a premium , and many failed to gain
admittance. The program was render
ed in a meritorious manner throughout ,
commencing with opening exercises by
the school. Little Edwin Cochran re
cited "The Little Claim Holders" very
pleasingly. "Mamma's Help" was given
in an acceptable manner by Amy Cres-
well. "The Rescue" was rendered by
Master Walter Shaw with his usual ef
fectiveness. The wand drill by eight
little girls was one of the prettiest feat
ures of the program. Bertha Boyle
has an established reputation , and her
recitation of "The Relief of Lucknow"
was up to her usual standard of excel
lence. Eva Reizenstein exhibited con
siderable talent in her violin solo ,
"Turkish March. " Roy Smith strength
ened his popularity by rendering tbe
"Cause of Education" with moat comical
effect. A very cute thing was the trio
by Jessie Huddleston , Alia and Vida
Hagar , in costume. Frank Golfer's
recitation of "The Painted Baby" elicit
ed the most enthusiastic applause , and
it was all deserved. A daet by Belle
and Lillie Spry was well received.
Mamie Chapin has a graceful , pretty
way of saying things , and her recitation
of "The Merrythought" was of that
order. The concert recitations and
choruses by the school were all given
in a sprightly , satisfactory style. Mrs.
E. G. Nettleton , county superintendent ,
and Prof. Wm. Valentine , city superin
tendent , closed the exercises with short
addresses , full of interest and excel
lence.
AT REST.
There is a vacant chair and sadness
in the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. H.
Ludwick. On Sunday morning , death
came to the relief ot their daughter
Bernicc , who had been a terrible suf
ferer for a number of days from a mal
ady , the sequence of an attack of scar
let fever , which has baffled the physi
cians and caused the little sufferer ex
cruciating pain. Little Bernice would
have completed her fourth year in a
few days. The funeral occurred on
Monday afternoon. All hearts sympa
thize with the bereaved parents in the
sorrow which has come into their lives.
"STICK TO YOUR LAST. "
And by the same token the young
"lawyer" who has been devoting several
yards of "poetry" to the publisher of
THE TRIBUNE lately should "stick to"
his collections , and to his petty petti
foggery. They may prove more profita
ble to him in the end. See ?
