f
EASTER IN MCCOOK.
The Great Christian Festival Was
Appropriately Observed.
L
H With each recurring spring time Easter -
ter , perhaps the most significant of all
Christian festival days , seems to acquire
a deeper , richer meaning to the people
of this city , as the celebrations of this
glorious event each returning spring are
being distinctly marked by an increasing
profusion of flowers in decoration and by
a pleasing elaboration and improvement
in the music provided , while the attendance -
ance upon these inspiring , solemn occasions -
sions now taxes the utmost capacity of
our churches. Truly , "Among all the
festal days which commemorate the
landmarks of the earliest history of the
Christian church none are more significant -
cant than that of Faster. Even Christmas -
mas is but tliecelebration ofa beginning.
The manger at Bethlehem brought forth
the Christ that was to redeem the world ,
but his future merely existed in the promises -
mises of the Old Testament. It was not
until the resurrection morning that the
full significance of the Christ-life dawned
upon the world. That was fulfillment of
the promise and the completion of re-
clemption. He was no longer the lowly
. Nazarene , but the resurrected Christ.
The blood that , as it is held , was to redeem -
deem the world , had been shed , the
grave had lost its victory , and the way to
f life was pointed out. No wonder , then ,
that when each anniversary of that
.
eventful morning dawns the churches of
the world should unite in grateful harm-
ony. It is essentially a day of rejoicing ,
and hymns of praise ascend to heaven ,
fragrant with the breath of the bursting
blossoms which typify the new life. It
is a day of new things in nature , of
freshly springing grass and budding
trees and flowers , in the radiant colorings
of their first blossoms. What could be
more appropriate than that humanity
should profit by nature's lesson and
choose this day , above all others , for
! .r' f arraying itself in fresh colors and laying
off the somber garb of the gloomier win-
ter. "
The Protestant celebration of the day
centered at the Congregational church ,
which was beautifully , elaborately and
with appropriate tastefulness decorated
for the auspicious occasion , Easter lilies ,
palms and a charming variety of other
flowers and vines being used lavishly on
the pulpit platform , on the sides and
other places of advantage in that pretty
structure. The members of Saint John
Commandery No. i6 of our city and those
from adjoining towns attended these
. morning services in a body and in uniform -
form , which added to the interest and
1 attractiveness of the occasion.
Rev. H. S. MacAyeal of Cambridge
delivered a touching , eloquent and able
sermon on "Immortality" . Rev. A. G.
Formati of the Methodist church and
Rev. H. L. Preston of the Congregational -
al church assisted in the services. The
church choir sang very acceptably , and
the services were altogether of a character -
ter which left a deep and felicitous impression -
pression on the large audience which
filed and overflowed the church.
The evening service at the Congregational -
tional church was in the hands of the
Sunday school and Endeavor soccetyand
the church was again crowded to the
door. It was distinctively an Easter
service , consisting of anthems , hymns
and choruses interspersed with recitations -
tions , readings and other appropriate
illustrations in the life of Christ. The
(
floral and other decorations were practically -
tically as in the morning , consistingof a
cross and arch of smilax above the organ ,
4 which was flanked on both sides with
hanks.of lilies , palms etc. The little
' ones absorbed a large part of the program -
gram , which gave it undying interest.
The program as printed , last week , was
' carried to completion , and with highly
I gratifying results.
At St. Patrick's church there was a
crowded house , every seat was occupied ,
and standing room taken to the door
way. The handsome altar was beautifully -
fully and richly decorated with flowers ,
the choice Easter lilies being sent from
Denver. High mass was celebrated at
ro:3o : a. m. by the Rev. Fr. J. W. Hickey
according to the solemn and impressive
1 form of the Catholic church. Farmer's
4 mass was rendered by the choir , producing -
ing a rich and pleasing musical program -
for the solemn occasion. The
: gram
choir was assisted by three orchestral
parts , a first and second violin and a
clarionet , which added to the musical
effect. Father Hickey also delivered a
r brief , appropriate sermon.

There will be no state census taken
this year. Money is so scarce that the
legislature concluded to dispense with
that luxury.
It is claimed that the solar system was
on Good Friday in the same position it
was on the first Good Friday , and that
it was the first time such a thing occurred
since the crucifixion.
There doubtless are better sections of
country than this in the land , but look
long and well before you leap. Don't
be misled by specious promises and alluring -
luring pictures. It may not be so well
with you as it is.
More people in America are studying
domestic economy now than have paid ,
attention to it for many years. And they
are putting into practice their knowledge
secured in the search. It is the logic of
the times , as well as the necessity.
With a debt of some $90,000 in the
school district , the Lincoln board of
education is facing the embarrassing
question of whether or not to cut the
salaries of certain classes of her teachers.
The teachers are naturally objecting.
Mrs. A. Barnett's spring opening of
millinery was well attended and patronized -
ized , last Friday afternoon and evening ,
a large company from city and vicinity
inspecting and purchasing the stylish
novelties of the season displayed at the
Bazar , in such taste and profusion.
Judge Sinclair of the North Platte
district has rendered a decision holding
that the provisions of the irrigation law
granting the right of eminent domain
were constitutional , giving to irrigation
companies the right to condemn right-of-
way in the manner provided for railway
companies. Notice of appeal to the
supreme court has been given , but the
heavy bond required may stop the case
at the district court.
TILE TRIBUNE does not wish to appear
to be presumptious. Men who can
proudly claim to be veterans of the late
rebellion are of course mature in age and
experience and judgment. But we will
risk this much advice apropos of the
proposed "Soldier Colony Emigration. "
BE SURE YOU HAVE SOMETHING BETTER -
TER AND SURER AND MORE PERMANENT -
NENT BEFORE YOU LET GO OF WHAT
YOU Now HAVE. That's all just now.
It is said that once upon a time an old
maid was seen weeping piteously ; upon
inquiring of her the cause of her distress
she said : "I was thinking how awful it
would be if I had a little babe and it
should starve to death. " While thinking -
ing over the crop prospect for this season
from the present outlook , don't like the
old maid , jump at conclusions too quick.
Remember the spring of 1Sg1 was dry
and the rains did not set in until about
the 20th of May. No country ever produced -
duced more bountiful crops than we had
here that year. So keep up your courage.

Wedding Bells.
At no time in the history of McCook
have the marriage bells rang more joyously -
ously than they ( lid on last Wednesday
evening when at the home of the bride's
parents , Mr. and Mrs. Harman Thompson -

friends assembled to witness the ceremony -
mony that made Mr. W. D. Beyrer and
Miss Cora Mae Thompson husband and
wife.

While the clock was chiming the hour
of eight the high contracting parties
entered the parlor , and in the presence
of the guests Rev. A. G. Forman in a
very impressive way pronounced the
words that made Miss Mae 1Irs.
W. D. Beyrer , and after the most hearty
congratulations the doors of the dining
room were thrown open and the guests
were seated at the table loaded with the
choicest viands. At ten o'clock , amid a
shower of rice which was a token of
good wishes , Mr. and Mrs. Beyrer boarded -
ed the west-bound train for a ten-days'

Perhaps THE TRIBUNE should not
have expected it , but it would seem to
us as being only fair and square to allow
each of the city papers to make a showing -
ing of circulation , in the matter of publishing -
lishing applications for license as required -
quired by law to be published by the
newspaper having the largest circulation
in the county.

Half a Century of Bloomers.
The Bloomer girl of ' 32 ,
Who wore athletic dress ,
Beholds the I135o girl
And cries in deep distress.
"She's wearing pantaloons , I see ,
Witli brazen , shameless ease ;
And mercy ! how the horrid things
Are bagging at the knees. "
The Bloomer girl of' , o then
Is greatly shocked to see
Her prototype of ' 58 ,
And says , "Ohl can it be ?
The horrid , horrid , horrid tiling ,
To wear so bold a suit ;
It's like a pair of pantaloons
Below a parachute. "
The Bloomer girl of ' 5S
With righteous anger frowns ,
To see Amelia Bloomer in
Her pair of hand me-downs.
"Am I awake , " she loudly cries ,
"Or am I in a trance ?
0 , it is true that gents are not
Alone in wearing pants. "
But Daisy Bell is not abashed ,
And merely cries "For shame
To criticise the bloomerloons
That bear your honored name !
We're pushing on , and when at last
We women get our rights ,
I'll be surprised if nien object
To see us ride in tights. "
And when Amelia Bloomer hides
Behind her umberell ,
The day her startled optics see
The modern Daisy Bell ;
"Alas"site ! cries"put up your wheel ,
You really hadn't oughter
Until you've coaxed 'em clown a bit ,
My brave , misguided daughter.

THE TRIBUNE would like to see the
artesian well question carried on to some
satisfactory conclusion , if possible. The
depth of something over 400 feet , attained -

company would be willing to continue
the experiment should some outside assistance -

The McCook BI-Metallic Club.
The McCook Bi-Metallic Club
- was organized -
ganized in our city , last evening , with 1
a membership of about twenty , which it
is claimedwill soon be largely increased.
C. H. Boyle was chosen President , I. T. !
Benjamin , Secretary ; W. H. Davis , First
Vice President ; J. H. Bennett , Second
Vicc President ; Charles Leliu , Third
Vice President ; L. H. RooneyTreasurer ; , r
A. W. Utter , Patrick Walsh , Z. L. Kay ,
James McAdams and W. M. Lewis , exec- g ,
utive committee. The battle cry of the
McCook Bi-Metallic Club is : The restoration - 1
ration of the coinage laws as they were f
prior to 1873 , free mintage of gold and j
silver at ratio of z6 to I , without regard
to any other nation.
The bi-metallists of our city seem to be
organizing for business. There is doubtless -
less a strong free silver sentiment in our
city. It is claimed that th eorganization
is non-partisan in politics.

Money That Doesn't Talk. '
"Paw , what does it mean when they
say money talks ? " asks Tolinny.
"It mean , " said Mr. Billus , after some
reflection , "that it sometimes helps a
man that's got to talk a little louder than
the other fellow. "
"Does all money talk ? " persisted the
inquisitive Johnny.
"N-no , not exactly. "
"Then money that can't talk is hush
money , ain't it.
"Er-ail-haven't you anything to do ?
Suppose you go out and bring in your
kindling wood. "
Has Been Shipped.
