Street Commissioner McFar land has been doing some ver creditable work on the streets o Falls City. In all parts of tin town the ! results of his efforts arc apparent , but are perhaps mos notable in the vicinity of Fonr teenth and | Stone streets. A bit slice is beiun cut from the Mis souri Pacific hill and the dir used to fill in the low place 01 Stone street from Twelfth stree south In bad weather this lov place becomes almost impassabl and those who have occasion ti travel over the lower part o Stone street will appreciate th filling in of this hollow. The hi ! leading toward the Burlingtoi depot is also being graded dowi and the dirt used to fill the lo\ place at the west approach of th Fourteenth street bridge. Tin also will be a great improvement These improvements are ver noticable to people arriving a either depot and walking u town. There are many othe improvements that are noticeabl especially the permanent walk that have been laid this summt and the new houses. To Prospect For Oil It has long been the opinio of many citizens that oil an probably natural gas exists i the vicinity of Falls City an plans re now under way bty which exhaustive tests will be made and the matter settled definitely. An experienced oil and gas prospector and one who has been very successful in Ins line of work , has been in the city this'week and the first steps have been taken toward secur ing leasen and making pr limi. miry arrangements for prospect , ing on a large scale. A meeting of the citizens was held Tuesday evening and the prospector outlined his plans. He stated that from his experi ence , he was confident that oil and gas exist in this vicinity and was so certain that such i ? the case that he would be will ing to make exten-ivc tests if given the proper assistance and encouragement. It will be nec essary to secure leases on from anywhere ftom six to ten thousand - and acres of ground to enable the necessary shafts to be sunk , In event of the discovery ol either oil or gas , the owner oi the land upon which the discov cry is made will receive ten pei cent of all profits arising there rom. If no test is made on an > tract of leased land within twc years the lease will become nul and void. The prospector asks for no cash bonus , but merelj that the citizens secure the nee essary leases. If all the lease ? are secured at once a well \\il be sunk this fall and we wil soon know whether or not oi and gas exist in this vicinity it paying quantities. The mattei was referred to a committee o : citizens with a view to seeinj. what can be done in the mattei of getting the leases. San Kimmel and Henry C. Smitl compose the committee ii charge of securing the leases. Married. Miss Margaret Wicks and GUI M. Lewis were united by the ties of marriage on Monday Octobei the sixteenth. The wedding wai a very quiet affair , the ceremony being preformed in the presenc < of a few immediadtc relatives a Palisade , Nebraska. Miss Wick has resided in Falls Citv sinc < childhood and is a young lady ol the highest principles and a gen era ! favorate of all. She ha been cashier for Johntson & Son since their opening in this city Guy M. Lewis was in the em ploy of Davies & Owens abou five years ago and will be remem bered as a young man of excel lent qualities. Mr. and Mrs Lewis will be at home to thei friends after November twentietl at their future home in Kendricl Idaho. May the young coupl enjo } ' a life of unclouded happi ness and prosperity. On the evening of October 17 at the home of Air. and Mrs. C A Jennings in Salem , occure the wedding of their daughtei Minnie Idalia , to Mr. Jesse 1 Shrimpton.

Democratic Caucus A democratic or "Citizens' ' caucus was held at the court muse Tuesday evening for the mrpose of nominating a city icktn. Not ver } * many of the aithful were present , but those vho were there started out by tutors in ljf John" IIIiU6n''life , re mblican candidate for super- isor. This endorsement is a rery Mattering tribute to Mr. linton. It is a splendid en- orsement of his record as a upervisor. As one prominent lemocrat said the next day , 'John Hinton is a republican , but as a supervisor he is a citi- en. " This remark is the whole ruth. As a member of the : ounty board he has been a care ul , painstaking and efficient ollicer. and as the chairman of he board , his official acts have been characterized by an abso- ute freedom from political bias. LMie poor and unfortunate of \ills City look upon Mr. Ilinton as a .sort of lather. No needy jerson ever applied to Mr. 11 in- on for aid in Ins official capac- ty without receiving all that lie law allows. He is one of he most kind hearted of men ind there are many who can lever forget the acts of kind- less that he has done. It is gratifying1 indeed to know that .he elemocrats have recognized us < ; oed qualities and have en- lorsed his candidacy. For constables the caucus lomimiled Jerry Richnrds and Fohn Parlier. For Justices of the Peace they chose George ? allsteael and John \Viltse. But Mr. Wiltse is a republican ind MS soon as lie learned of his lominatioh by the democrats he filed a written refusal to accept. He was not present at the cau cus and the tact that the meet- ng took advantage of his absence and nominated him was not only unfair , but decidedly dishonorable. The attempt to all his republicanism into ques tion and hold him up to ridicule was a fiat failure and every fair minded democrat in town will be glad that it was. Johh Parlier who has always been a staunch republican , also filed a resiunation and "protest. He was a victim of a deception and his friends justly resent it. Mock Wedding. Mr. Harry White and Miss Alice Dream were married at the home of the brides parents , Mr. and Mrs. O. J. McNall Friday evening. The bride and groom were attended by Miss Thelma White and Mr. Therlo Harding.
