THE RED CLOUD CHIEF, FRIDAY. JUNE3 3. 1898.

Last Monday demonstrated better
than anything could the necessity of a
band in Il city the size of Red Cloud
The Decoration day parade to the Gem.
etery and return was made without a
note of music, and only the humping
of a drum at the head of the school
children to keep them in step. An Of.
fort was made some time ago by some
OF The oil ! band boy to raise money to
buy a new set of instruments but all to
no avail. Some of the most prominent
merchants would give nothing, others
would put their names down for the
insignificant sum of one or two dollars,
while a few subscribed more literally
with five dollars. In all in the neigh
borhood Of eighty dollars was sub.
scribed, and the boys concluded that
there was no use of organizing, as they
would not receive sufficient support to
make it a success. The amount neces-
sary for instruments would he between
$3.50 and $500 and should be raised
without any trouble among Our bust
ness men and citizens. We are in
hopes that another effort will be made
in the near future for the organization
OF a band, which will be more literally
encouraged than the previous one, and
that an organization will be perfected.

Last week we mentioned the fact
that Gus Roats, one of our numerous
cattle feeders, had shipped a fine lot
OF cattle to Kansas City. This week
Mr.. Roats received word from Armour
Il Co, the Kansas City packers. that
they were the finest lot of heifers they
had ever killed, and dressed GIL per
cent. This certainly speaks well for
Mr.. Roats and shows that he thor.
oughly understands feeding Seattle and
also shows that Nebraska has put the
best cattle on the market of any state
in the west. Perhaps it would be q
good plan for some other feeders to
take a few pointers from Mr.. Roats
as it would insure them top prices for
their cattle on the eastern markets.

The Memorial day sermon 20 the
members of the G.. a. X. was preached
last Sunday morning at the Christian
church before a congrc cation that
filled every part of that building. 1t has
been the custom of the members Of the
&. y. X. on each. Sunday proceeding
Decoration day to listen to a sermon
especially directed to them. The
church was appropriately decorated
for the occasion with flags and flow
ers. The old soldiers met at their
hall at 1890 q. M. and marched to
the church in a body. Rev. Hussong
delivered the Memorial sermon and
many were the complimentary
words heard in regard to both the ad.
dres $ and special music which had
been prepared for the occasion.
