Poor McCook.

The Hastings Democrat kicks and re-
fuses to be comforted because it costs IS
a lot down there for water for lawn
sprinkling purposes. God bless your
poor soul, Wahlquist, move up to Nc
Cook if they are robbing you so out
rageously. It only costs the writer of
this article a fraction over SIC for his lot
up here, and he makes it a part of his
daily devotions to open his window to-
ward the nice new red standpipe, and
with tears in his eyes and his heart un-
speakably full, thank God and the gen
erous superintendent that the burden is
so light.
But some people are hard to please
McCooK TRIBUNE.
Never complaint have we made. We
have the best water system in the world,
and operated the cheapest to individual
users. McCook. unfortunately, has the
vice-like grip of the water company on
its throat. We doubt if it can ever
shake it off. But until it does people
will 60 on to the next station. The ar
rogance of these corporations is dis
gusting Hastings Democrat.

An Evening With the Old Familiar
Hymns.

There is no power to touch the hearts
of people like listening to the old familiar
songs which they used to hear in their
younger days.
The Christian Endeavor society has
arranged programme made up of these
songs. Nearer My God to Thee"
Crock of Ages" "Sweet Bye and Bye, 4"
and others equally familiar and loved.
The programme is too complicated to
insert here, but is the most elaborate
ever gotten up by the society. The
music will of course be the prominent
feature and will be worth hearing. The
words of the songs will be recited by
young ladies in appropriate dress and
the songs sung afterwards either as a
solo, duet or by the whole choir.
1t will be held in the Congregational
church commencing promptly at 8 p. m.
and as the lights, except those around
the pulpit, are to be turned off at 8 it is
desired that the people come early so as
not to disturb the opening violin solo by
Mr.. B. F. Sutton, "Jesus Lover of My
Soul"
Extra chairs will be provided and a
large corps of ushers will be ON hand.
Let the house be filled to listen to the
old familiar hymns.
There will. also be no services in the
Baptist church in the evening.

The Water Question.

Superintendent Meeker of the water
company rushed into print last week
through the columns of our well-mean-
ing but misguided contemporary, the
Times-Democrat, and labors through a
column length of silly twaddle in futile
endeavor to prove that the people of Nc
Cook are pretty tough lot of water
thieves, and that the superintendent is a
martyr to duty.
He admits that the rates are too high
and does not excuse the fact; that the
fact that the company has collected
taxes and not delivered the goods is a
constitutional excuse for the people of
McCook to get trife warm under the
collar; that trivial and burdensome re-
strictions have been entailed on water
patrons. He admits everything that is
or has been urged against the company
for years, but claims the fault is not his;
that the rates, rules and regulations are
not of his making. And just right here
we take issue with him. The ordinance,
as is we'll known, was prepared by the
company, "and we were not asleep"
the superintendent has stated when his
choler had gained the mastery over his
judgment and caution, "when we were
fixing this thing up on you" And
while they were fixing this up" it has
been universally stated, they took deep
interest in the late city election in antic-
ipation of the storm of indignation that
they naturally expected to come down
upon them when the people came to feel
how they had been duped on this 3-I6
inch nozzle cinch.
This ordinance of their own making is
generally and properly regarded as a
"dead mortal cinch." The impression
is just about as unanimous that the
superintendent has not the judgment to
work cinch, and that this is poor time
to operate such machine The people
properly feel that generous treatment
was due them this year, at least, in view
of last years failure to provide water
paid for.
There is little or no excuse for the
condition of affairs now existing in Nc
Cook. The people of McCook are
willing to pay big price for water, and
they are paying big price, but they do
object to being hog-tied, thrown into
the ditch and then kicked for grunting
their disapproval even.

THE SCHOOLS,

The school orchestra contemplates
giving concert about June 18th.
During the school year over $50 names
have been enrolled on the register of the
McCook public schools.
The picnic near the old Buck place on
the Willow, Saturday, was delightful
affair-as all agree. There was a large
attendance of the pupils and of their IN
vited guests.
The teachers will disperse as follows:
Mrs. Snow to Lincoln, Saturday morn
ing, Miss Morton to Fails City, Saturday
morning, Miss Allison to Almena, Kan
sas, Monday morning, Miss Stroud for
various eastern points, tonight. Mrs.
Duffy to Grafton Sunday morning.

church at Leavenworth, Kansas.
Rev. Frank Durant went up to I'M

services. He will leave for Grand Is
land, Saturday.
No Episcopal services Sunday morn
ing or evening. Rev. Durant goes to
Grand Island, Saturday morning, to at
tend the ordination of school friend.
It is probable that the Congregational
church will be formally dedicated to the
use of the Lord, about June 10th. If SO,
Children's day may be celebrated later.
There will be no services in the Con
gregationa1 church, next Sunday morn
ing, the pastor being absent from the
city. In the evening there will be union
Christian Endeavor exercises.
The Congregational church was well
filed, Sunday morning, to hear the
Memorial sermon delivered by Rev.
John I. Roberts of Curtis, Nebraska.
The sermon was an excellent production
and has been very generally commended
for its earnest thoughtfulness. Splendid
and appropriate music was provided by
the Methodist church choir. The i'll

Our Dead Heroes.

Among the days and occasions that
never fail Of causing a general outpour-
ing of the people of McCook and vicinity
is Memorial day. The enthusiasm with
which the occasion is annually commem-
GRATED seems to grow and strengthen
with each recurring goth day of May.
May this patriotic duty of the living to
the dead never become irksome.
Long before the hour set for the COM
mencement Of the exercises the opera
house was crowded, and hundreds failed
to gain admittance, so numerous was
the attendance. At the appointed time
Post Commander Sharp called the peo-
pie to order and the following pro-
gramme of exercises was rendered:
I. Reading of Order. Adjt. Dodge
2. Music. High School Orchestra
3. Prayer Rev. d. L. Mcbride

II. Form line of march on Main ave-
nue. and march to cemetery.
I3 Recitation, "The Honored Dead"

ID. Decoration of Graves.
IS. Marching back to the city.
The exercises, it will be observed,
were largely provided by the pupils of
the public schools, who although bur
dened with the extra work incident to
commencement week, acquitted them
selves very creditably as usual. The
school orchestra comes in for its need
of praise.
Rev. D. l.. Mcbride delivered the
Memorial address. 1t was up to the
measure of his usual excellence and in
teresa very eloquent and patriotic
effort

was of remarkable length-a pretty

JOSEPH WHEELER of Jasper county,
Iowa, has been in the city since Tues
day. He says he has lived in Iowa since
1856 and has never seen the crops in
such bad shape as they are new. Little
or no small grain and the hay crop
ruined by drouth beyond any possibility
of recovery. If rain comes soon there
will be fall pasture but no hay. Some
pastures about dried up. 1t is a serious
question as to what will become of stock
next winter.

In the matter of window gardening
the beginners most common cause of
failure is due to ignorance as to the use
OF water on plants and seeds Seeds
should be watered sparingly, and only
at night, increasing the quantity of
water with growth. Potted plants in a
window box should have, say, a goblet
of water to the pot daily, in the evening,
unless already drenched with rain. The
soil in the box should never be allowed
to become muddy; the top of it should
be broken frequently to the depth of an
inch, for baking usually follows water
ing during sunny weather. Any plant
that seems sickly should be removed
and replaced.
