WBJf xT When the deep significance of tha pre-
Hlr cious event is properly considered it is
| B XI not to be wondered at that Easter is so
i m\ universally and joyously commemorated ,
| Hi and that with the multiplying of years
Pm\/ the glorious festival that celebrates the
mw\ \ resurrection of Christ grows in the hearts
L l f and affections of all followers and lovers
VT \ ' of the meek and lowly Savior. On the
K V fact that Christ is Risen rests securely
B./j ' the Christian's hope ; without the risen
RM Lord Christianity would be as a sound- ,
w /j ing brass and a tinkling cymbal. With
j Kl 1 \ Him who conquered death Christianity
V I' ) is all powerful and sufficient. Hence ,
KjH we assert * kis festival conies with pecul-
VfC' iar and profound meaning , not alone to
H t | . Christian , but to all mankind ; and at a
RJfp time when all nature is taking on new
BkM life and giving promise of future plenty.
Hr\ * So it is a pleasure to note the enthusi-
Hfw w asm with which the day was celebrated
HK i by the various churches of our city , that
BSLf \ all the services were attended by large
K C\ congregations , and that the true meaning
HRK&j of the event was not lost sight of in the
BJK ) ' f. fervor and zeal of exterior exhibition.
y U\ And as to weather , it was a typical Easter
HJL l Sunday , a comforting fact enjoyed by all
FV keenly. • *

BSBBBp was elaborately and beautifully embel-
H ? * lished for both occasions in an appropri-

Bw' Risen" . After the sermon a number of
BVbVBMTL | new members were received into the

Bu METHODIST.
H Services of a special nature were held
in the Methodist church , morning and
evening , and on both occasions the
church was.crowed with eager , apprecia
tive congregations. ' At the morniug ser
vice the Sir Knights of St. John Com-
mandery were present in a body and in
full uniform , adding an attractive feature
to an auspicious occasion in commemo
ration of one of the most pregnant
events in Christian history. The altar
and pulpit were attractively decorated ,
Easter lilies , palms and potted plants
being utilized in the ornamentation with
beautiful effect. Rev. Badcon preached
from the text , "He is Risen" in words
instructive aud hopeful. The choir ren
dered a number of special selections ,
among them being McPhail's "Christ
Our Passover" aud Vance's "Give Unto
the Lord" , a duet , sung by Misses Han
nah Stangeland and Ida McCarl.
Those in the choir were : Sopranos
Misses Hannah and Kittle Stangeland
and Edna Dixon. Alto Miss Ida Mc
Carl. Tenors Dr. A. P. Welles and
Messers. Tom McCarl and Bert Beyrer.
Bassos1 Ray McCarl , Roy Smith and
Knud Stangeland. Organist , Miss Hattie -
tie Yarger.
The service of the evening was in the
hands of the little ones , who sang and
recited to the pleasure of all selections
and numbers appropriate to Easter-tide ,
and in their childish way concluded a
day of pleasant memories most happily.
EPISCOPAL.
Easter services in St. Albau's chapel
were held on Sunday afternoon , and
were in charge of the Sunday-school.
The little chapel was entirely inadequate
for the people that sought admission.
The floral decorations on the altar were
ver3' pretty , an unusually large display
being made of Easter lilies , besides a
profusion of other flowers. In the ab
sence of Rector Russell , Dr. Beach read
a short form of the Episcopal service.
Miss Maude Burgess presided at the or
gan , and the music was further strength
ened b\ * the following violinists : Mrs. D.
W. Colson , Miss Anna Erb , Messrs. Ut
ter and Huet. Mrs. A. P. Bonnet led
the singing by the Sunday-school scholars
and also sang the offertory in a most ef
fective , finished manner. A feature of
the musical program were the two cor
net quartettes by Messrs. H. P. Sutton ,
J. F. Kenyon , A. P. Ely and Dr. S. C.
Beach. The story of the cross was told
by Dr. Beach in well chosen words , thus
concluding one of the happiest celebra
tions of the daj\
BAPTIST.
The Baptist church did not attempt
any celebration on a large scale , confin
ing themselves to some special music by
the church choir , an appropriate sermon
and some floral decorations. Their ser
vices were well attended , both morning
and evening. The pulpit was ornament
ed with potted plants in attractive vari
ety. Rev. Sheafor preached a strong
sermon in the morning from an appro
priate text. Two Easter anthems were
rendered by the choir which was com
posed of the following persons : Mrs. C.
B. Gray and Miss Montague , sopranos.
Mrs. J. E. Robison , contralto. E. E.
Magee , tenor. F. D. Burgess , basso.
Mrs. F. D. Burgess , organist.
In the evening the regular ser\rices
were held , the same being followed by a
number of immersions.

A. R.of this city.desire to inform ail old

The grand annual concert of the Neb
raska Brigade Band , U. R. K. P. , given
in the Menard opera house , Wednesday
evening , was far and away the best ever
given by the band , and delighted an
audience that filled the opera house.
Opening with a short march "Mc-
Cune Cadets" by Farrar the band got
well down to serious business in Rossini's
overture to "William Tell" , which they
rendered with excellent effect.
E. J. Wilcox was a wee bit nervous in
his tuba solo Bach's "Polka Caprice"
but his effort was creditable neverthe
less and applauded.
Mrs. A. P. Bonnot's soprano solo from
the garden scene in "Faust" was a splen
did triumph , well establishing her posi
tion at the head of McCook's vocalists.
F. A. Pennell's popularity did not suf
fer a whit in his baritone solo. Levy's
"WhirlwindPolka" . Fred may always
be depended on to do clever work.
Messrs. E. E. Magee , T. E. McCarl ,
Roy Smith and Ray McCarl were unfor
tunate in their selection , "In Old Mad
rid" by Trotere , but their quartette work
always strikes a popular chord , and is
enjoyed.
The first part closed with "The Mill
in the Forest" , an idyll by Eilenburg , in
which the band was especially effective
and pleasing.
The opening selection for part two was
Offenbachiana No. 2 , arranged by Boett-
ger , and the band gatheied new laurels
in its rendition.
One of the features of the evening was
the clarinet solo by G. R. Snyder. His
selection was Mohr's Second Air Varie ,
and his work was a finished , delightful
product.
Messrs. Ray McCarl , Charles Heber ,
Earl Ludwick and Knud Stangeland gave
a very tuneful French Horn Quartette ,
"Es Rauscht der Wald" by Otto. .
Mrs. A. P. Bonnet quite captivated the
hearts of her hearers in DeKoven's "Ara
bian Love Song" , Hawley's "Rainbows"
and Cowen's "The Swallows" . Her re
sponse to a warm encore was "Annie
Laurie" .
One of the most popular and meritori
ous numbers of the programme was the
cornet duet , Eilenberg's "Kindred
Souls" , by A. P. Ely and S. C. Beach.
Roy Smith's piccolo solo , "Polka Ca
price" by Darnm , deservedly received
the warm hand generously.
The programme concluded with a de
scriptive selection , "Village Life in the
Olden Time" by LeThiere. Perhaps this
effort of the band was more generally
enjoyed and appreciated than any other
selection of theirs during the evening.
As an entirety the concert was a high
ly complimentary success , and The
Tribune herewith warmly congratulates
all connected with the gratifying affair.
We are proud that McCook can produce
so meritorious a musical entertainment.
Mrs. W. B. Mills accompanied the vo
cal numbers on the piano very cleverly.
By request the band will repeat the
concert on Saturday night.
