MeCOOK , RED WILLOW COUNTY , NEBRASKA. FRIDAY EVENING. APRIL 2O , I9OO NUMBER 49
Easter Services.
Easter services were held in all the
churches of the city , being marred in
several instances by small attendance on
account of the rain storm :
CONGREGATIONAL.
The presence of the members of St.
John commandery , Knights Templar , at
the morning service furnished a measure
of added interest to this service , but the
attendance was not equal to expectations
or that of former 3 ears , a fact clearly
traceable to the heavy and continuous
rain , which was a source of disappoint
ment to many.
The decorations were on an elaborate
scale , the entire pulpit and rostrum be
ing a bower of floral loveliness , ferns , *
palms , lilies and potted plants and cut
flowers in profusion serving a charming
purpose ; besides many potted plants doi
ted windows and oilier available points
of vantage in the auditorium. A cross
done in white and gold and a pendant
cross ami crown in red and gold were
the special decorative features.
The choir rendered a number of excellent -
_ lent numbers appropriate to the celebra
tion of the most gladsome event in the
calendar of the Christian church.
Rev. W. J. Turner's subject was , "The
Incident of Death. " His discourse was
an able and effective one.
The collection lifted will go for mis
sions.
No evening services were held , the
continued rain making it inexpedient.
CATHOLIC.
All the services in St. Patrick's church
were largely attended , notwithstanding
the rain and weather. The first Mass
was held at 8 , and High Mass at 10:30.
At the latter service , the choir of young
people of the church rendered Bateman's
mass in "G " Mrs. "P. F. McKennasang
' 'Ave Verum" as an oflertory ; and at
the close of the Mass , "Christ is Risen"
was sung by the full chorus. The music
was uniformly excellent and inspiring.
The handsome altar of the church was
beautifully decorated with palms , cut
flowers and potted plants in varied pro
fusion.
Rev. J. W. Hickey delivered an able
sermon appropriate to the day from the
gospel of Easter Sunday.
The music was under the direction of
Mr. J. G. Schobel , who presided at the
organ in the absence of the regular
organist.
CHRISTIAN.
Like the other churches of the city ,
the attendance upon the Easter services
in the Christian church , Sunday morn
ing , was small ; and this is the only re
grettable feature , for the decorations ,
music and services generally were most
attractive.
Quite an effort was made at decorating
the church , palms , potted plants and
cut flowers in artistic arrangement serv-
iug the purpose handsomely ; besides the
pulpit aich was festooned and draped in
white. The total effect was very pretty.
The choir rendered a number of spec
ial Easter numbers effectively. Rev. J.
W. Walker preached feelingly to the
topic , "If a Man Die Shall He Live
Again ? "
The evening service was postoned on
account of the rain.
METHODIST.
The usually large attendance was
greatly ensuialled by the rain and de
tracted from a service of bright promise.
The fine programme of special music
was given with the usual excellent , ar
tistic effect by the choir.
Palms , cut flowers and potted plants
were used in the liberal and handsome
decorations of the altar and rostrum of
the church , producing a charming effect.
Rev. J. A. Badcon delivered an excel-
3ent sermon on "Easter Hope. "
In the evening , the exercises were
given by the children as well as the cir-
cuuistances would permit , they being
"handicapped by absence of those on
programme , as well as by a limited audi
ence.
BAPTIST.
Notwithstanding the heavy and con
tinuous down-pour , quite a few of the
faithful ones attended the Easter services
in the Baptist church , Sunday morning.
Rev. George Scott , pastor pro tern. ,
delivered a touching sermon from an
appropriate subject.
The music by the choir was special in
character and its rendering a pleasing
feature of the service.
The pulpit was beautifully decorated
for the happy , joyous event , potted
T plants in profusion being advantageously
displayed on rostrum and pulpit.
The song service of the evening was
postponed perforce of the copious efforts
of J. Pluvius.
EPISCOPAL.
At St. Alban's chapel , early commun
ion services were held by Rector Stoy at
at eight o'clock. The regular morning
service was conducted by Deaconess
Childeaud Lay Reader Barnes. At both
morning hours the choir rendered the
amplified musical service of the day.
A special musical programme had
been prepared for the evening service ,
but it was not given oil account of the
small attendance the result of the rain.
The altar was attractively decorated
with cut flowers , potted plants , palms ,
etc.
GERMAN CONGREGATIONAL.
This church was filed with worshipers
to participate in the Easter communion
service at the morning hour. Evidently
our Russian and German friends are not
afraid of rain.

the family and most appetizing refresh
ments were lavishly served during the
evening to the score or more guests pres
ent. It is to be regretted that the num
ber of guests was not larger. The con
dition of the roads and other and previ
ous engagements had much to do with
making the attendance limited. All ,
however , who made the effort to be pres
ent , were liberally rewarded in a gener
ous and genuine hospitality. And , by
the way , these little social affairs be
tween city and country might be profit
ably repeated with greater frequency.
A Magnificent Rain.
This entire section of Nebraska was
visited by a steady down-pour of rain ,
Saturday night , Sunday and Sunday
night. It was a quiet and gentle rain
throughout and most of the moisture ,
consequently , was retained and gradual
ly sank away into the expectant earth.
It would be difficult to measure or ex
press the vast value of the rain to South
western Nebraska. The small grain crop
was already in promising condition , and
this soaker has given vegetation in every
form a most vigorous impetus and swelled
the farmer's heart with the promise of
an abundant small grain harvest. The
precipitation as officially measured at
this depot was 2.25 inches.
At Danbury and in that section there
was some snow with the rainfall.
Aid for Suffering India.
Initial steps were taken , last night , to

jeneral committee , with plenary power.
H. H. Tartsch is chairman of the com
mittee , with L. W. McConnell , W. J.
Turner , Louis Suess and R. T. Eller as
members. Ways and means were pretty
Fully discussed , but definite action re
mains with the committee and future.
A popular half-holiday field-day is sug
gested , with games , supper , a band con
cert etc. , from which to raise a fund to
send the sufferers. But of all this more
ater. About May isth is the date set.

WIH Appreciate the Change.
The people of McCook and Red Wil
low county will all doubtless appreciate
the improvements now being made abou
the court-house :
The sidewalk on the east side is bein
reduced to grade and placed out on the
street line. A new sidewalk is being
laid on the south side of the grounds.
Both of these sidewalks have demanded
considerable grading , and the earth ha
been hauled about the building itself ,
which is materially improved in appear
ance by the same.
Red Willow county has one of the
handsomest and most substantial county
buildings in Southwestern Nebraska ,
and its people take an excusable pride
in the fact , so that any act of the county
commissioners looking to the improve
ment of the building or the grounds sur
rounding the same will meet with the
approval of the people.
THE TRIBUNE hopes that this work
will be but the beginning of larger and
continued improvements ; and that the
grounds will be thoroughly graded , grass
sown and trees planted ; and that the
work of completing the interior of the
Building will not long wait the action of
: he board.
Let us be patriotic !

Death of Mrs. E. C. Ballew.
Her wide circle of McCook friends
were deeply touched , Wednesday morn
ing , by the sad news , per telegraph , of
the death of Mrs. E. C. Ballew in Kan
sas City , Mo. , at an early hour on
Wednesday morning. Little or nothing
was known of her illness and the sad
news came as a most sorrowful and sad
dening surprise to all the friends of the
departed.
Cause of death is not known , but it is
thought that heart trouble brought a
useful and beautiful life to an untimely
end.
Interment took place in Princeton ,
Missouri.
Mr. Ballew and all the bereaved rela
tives have the tender sj-mpathy of many

Sunday-School Association.
A two-days session of the Red Willow
County Sunday-School association closed
in Danbury , last Friday night. The at
tendance was not large , but made up in
earnestness and enthusiasm , and an en
joyable and profitable time is reported
by those who had the pleasure of attend
ing the meeting. Rev. W. J. Turner of
McCook delivered an able and eloquent
address , Friday evening , on the "Re
ligious Training of the Child. " C. T.
Watson of McCook was elected president

Berge , and J. E. Beyrer of McCook was
chosen as secretary. The next conven

Forgot the Quarter.
P. Walsh's saloon was burglariously
entered sometime early Sunday morning
and the cash register robbed of $9.75.
The sum of $10 had been left in the reg
ister and of this amount all was taken
but a quarter. Entrance to the saloon
was gained by sawing a hole in the rear
door , making an opening through which
the hand could reach and unlock the
door and remove bolts. It is thought
that the money loss covered the entire
loss. The cash register was not dam
aged.
The Deacon's Fences.
While Deacon Morlan is currently re

much to the improvement of his own
place and of his neighbors' properties as
well. And you don't have to "keep off
