THE OPEN sWITcH's SEQUEL.
Engineer Granville r. Oyster Dies
of His Injuries, Tuesday

The death of Granville r. Oyster is
one of the saddest and most regrettable
1t has been our painful duty to chronicle
during our entire residence in this COM
munity. The facts concerning the acci-
dent, Sunday morning early, near Hol-
drege, are fully set forth in another col
umn. At first his recovery was expected,
but the terrible injuries and shock sus-
tanned under his engine, where he was
pinioned for an hour or two, in great ag-
ony and constant dread of death, proved
too great for his constitution, wiry as it
was, and when the reaction came death
finally ended his misery, Tuesday even
ing, between seven and eight o'clock, at
Holdrege, in the presence of his family
which arrived at his bedside few min
utes before dissolution, in a special train.
Preparations were at once made for re-
moving the remains here, where they
arrived in special train between three
and four O'Clock, Wednesday morning.
The funeral of the deceased took place
on Thursday afternoon at 3:3o o'clock,
from the Congregational church, Rev.
Hart l.. Preston preaching the sermon
the services being under the auspices of
the o. r. c. and A. o. U. w. lodges of
our city, and being attended by an i'm
nlense concourse of people, who turned
out en-masse to pay their last tribute of
respect to the memory of citizen who
was highly esteemed in life, and whose
tragic and untimely death has most pro-
foundly shocked this people. Interment
was temporarily made in Longview Gem
etery. But it is expected i'll convenient
season to take the remains to Ohio for
final sepulture. A wife and six children
survive him here, besides his aged par
ents in Ohio, and a brother Ellsworth
Oyster in Mexico. The deceased carried
S6, 500 life insurance, The blow comes
with crushing and overpowering force
upon his wife and children, and the ten
derest sympathy consolation and assist
ance is being lavished upon them in their
oCCp ulSlLCoS. AC diIIOdU SHOPS were
closed during the funeral, and the en-
ployes in the several departments, among
whom George Oyster, as he was com
monty miscalled, was regarded as a
faithful. efficient and popular employe.
attended.
There was lavish wealth of floral
offerings from the different ordars and
from many private parties, and the pull
pit, platform, organ, etc. were beautifully
decorated for the sad occasion.

Rector Durant was in Imperial, close
of last week, in the discharge of his
clerical duties; and while there was
made the victim of an innocent, inoffen-
sive "cow pony belonging to his friend
Harry McClelland, and was treated to a
ride which will suffice him for the rest
of his natural life At the instance of
his friend the unsuspecting dominic
mounted the hurricane deck of the bron-
cho for canter out to ,the McClelland
farm, four miles from the city. But the
ambition of the rector wouldn't brook a
canter, and he urged the noble steed into
a gallop-which in trice developed in
to mad and uncomfortable runaway.

feet. At the farm the pony had head
end collision with the barn and the fun
was over. The four miles were covered
in exactly three -sixteenths of minute,
which the rider submits is at least
thirty-second too fast for the cloth to
maintain its dignity and composure.
There is distinct GOODNESS existing be-
tween the rector and his friend McClel-

glacial period.

E. R. Curtis tells this story with spe-
cial delight: "Among the many now
moving eastward to spend the winter
with their wives folks I noticed one
farmers prairie schooner to which was
tied miserable old bag of bones in the
shape of COW. Nothing but the frame
work remained of what once was noble
domestic beast. l asked the driver of
the wagon why he was taking such an
ignoble specimen of cowhood east when
they can be bought for two bits there.
'Pardner,' he replied, with tears in his
eyes and in tones that could draw rich
red blood from dead beet, perhaps you
would like to know what that ERE critter
cost me? That animal cost me SO acres
of Hayes county soil; and, with touch
of triumph in his voice, when I made
out the deed and found out that the fel-
low couldn't read, showed another SO
onto him"

Water storage and irrigation are bound
to win. The state must take the first
step. 1t must be made burning local
question first. Water storage has been
begun and irrigation is producing the
best results in several counties. When
counties and districts and states begin to
provide reservoirs it will be time to in
terest the general government in this all
important question. 1t is not in the
strictest sense national question and
to attempt to secure desired results in
this way will delay for years what each
state can dispose of at the first meeting
of its legislature There is too much
disposition among our leaders to ask
somebody else to supply our needs. The
solution of this question depends upon
the action of the people of the state OF
Nebraska. Let them take care of their
own water supply. Let them own their
own artificial appliances for water stor.
age and irrigation. Your own is always
your own.

When you see lady walking along
the street, before making some degrad-
ing remark about her, whether in jest or
in earnest, just stop and think for mo-
ment whether or not you have mother,
sister, wife, daughter or cousin who at
that very time may be walking on some
other street, and that maybe some low
minded person is making insulting re-
marks about them. Try this, and always
think twice before you speak or repeat a
remark you may have heard regarding a
woman. Then, after you have done your
thinking, if you are gentleman, you
will neither repeat the remark nor give
credit to it.-Ex.

A petition has been circulated and
generally signed by our people urging
upon Governor Crounse to appoint L.
w. Mcconnell of McCook, a member
of the state board of pharmacy Mr.
Mcconnell is eminently fitted in every
way to fill the duties of member of the
pharmacy board with credit and ability.
A drst-class pharmacist, thorough bus
mess man, and a clever, genial gentle
man is Nc, every inch of him, and his
appointment would not only be highly
satisfactory to the people of this city.
but would be well received all through
the valley, and over the state wherever
he is known. THE TRIBUNE hopes the
governor may make such a creditable
appointment.

The different shades of green appear
to be very popular. They begin in grays
where the green is scarcely more than a
suggestion, and then they are seen in
sage, frosty whitish tint overcasting it.;
then in reseda, which is of rusty tinge.
There is grasshopper green. lettuce, cab
bage, poplar, apple, Nile, and then it
strays into the MOSES, myrtles, olives,
and lastly the emeralds, the Lincoln and
hunters and bottle green. I think more
than likely have left out several dis
tinct shades. Green is certainly pleas
ing color, but the wearer must know how
to treat it. There are greens that dark
or sallow persons should keep at dis
tance from face, neck or hands, and then
there are others that make such persons
look fair. They must be studied.

THE TRIBUNE hopes that every Nc
Cook merchant will feel it his duty and
privilege to support the local press to
the extent of their ability. They are
highly deserving and should not be left
to shift for themselves, with little or no
encouragement from most of our bust
ness men, as is the case now. Let every
merchant, not one in three, do his duty
by the local press.
