Some Street Improvements.
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.

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

lent qualities. Mr. and Mrs

friends after November twentietl
at their future home in Kendricl

enjo } ' a life of unclouded happi
ness and prosperity.
On the evening of October 17

A Jennings in Salem , occure
the wedding of their daughtei
Minnie Idalia , to Mr. Jesse 1
Shrimpton. At 7:80 : p. m. th

beautifully decorated parlor t
the strains of Mendelsohn'
wedding inarch played by Mis

successful school teacher1
while the groom enjoys th

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.
To the strains of the wedding
march played by Miss Leah Po-
teet the bridal party descended
the artistticly decorated stair way
and thence to the altar where
they were united in holy matri
mony by Rev. N. T. Lee. The
ring was carried in a beautiful
rose by little Blanch Dream sis
ter of the bride. '
The bride was tastefully at
tired in a beautiful gown of
CheinedeLeis over white silk and
carried a handsome bouquet of
white carnations. The groom
wore the conventional black.
The ceremony way A'itnessed by
relatives and close friends.
After congratulations the
guest partook of a bounteous wed
ding supper , The remainder ol
the evening- was spent in danc-
ing.
ing.Mr.
Mr. and Mrs. White left on i\ \
