Telephone Case Settled.
The case of Mace Atwood
ngainst The Falls City Tele
phone Co. , was settled last week
by the company paying Mrs.
Atwood SloOO , and the cost of
the action. The case grew out
of the accident occasioned by a
team colliding with one of the
poles of the company which had
been set in the highway a great
er distance from the boundary
of the road than the la\v per
mits , and in which accident the
plaintiff was so badly injured
in one of her limbs that amputa
tion was necessary.
Register Law Invalid.
The supreme court at its sit
ting last week declared the law
postponing the election of the
register of deeds until next fall
is invalid and the election must
therefore be liad this fall. The
effect of this * decision will be to
choose a successor toMr. Kieger
at the ensuing election. The
choice wil' be between Mr.
Rieger , the present incumbent ,
and Mr. Edwards , of Humboldt.
Up to the time of the decision
neither candidate had made a
canvass because of the doubt ate >
to the validity of the law. Since
the decision both candidates
have been busy.
Oil and Gas.
As time passes the discussion
of oil and gas increases accord
ingly and more interest is being
taken. Leases are now being
written by Henry C. Smith and
Samuel Kimmel. Quite a num
ber of leases have been taken ,
among them being sevpral farms
in Ohio precinct , also some
small lots and tracts around
and in the city.
Persons interested should
look this matter up at once.
All parties seem anxious to
have the first well bored on
their place , but nn one can expect -
pect to have the part } ' bore for
oil or gas until the land is
leased.

P. Station was robbed of about
fifteen dollars worth of tickets.
A number of people were in the
room and while the night opera
t tor was attending some outside
work a bum committed the theft.
Part of the tickets were recovered
buttheguiltv partescaped. .
Ben Jones came over from
Hiawatha last Tuesday.
Justices of the Peace.
The interest aroused by the
campaign for the more import-
iu { offices should not prevent the
voters from giving duo consider
ation to the claim of the men
whose names will appear near the
bottom of the ticket. The oflice
of justice of the peace concerns
tile people very greatly. Such
officer is called the "poor man's
judge. " as it is in that court that
all litigation of minor importance
is heard. The republicans have'
nominated the present justice ,
John L- Cleaver and John Mosi-
man. These men arc citizens of
good judgment and honest men.
Judge Cleaver has had experience
in the office and is better qualified
by far than most men who seek
the oflice. His administration
has been marked by care and fidel
ity and the fearless manner with
which he has performed the more
or less unpleasant duties of the
office has been a great influence
in the preservation of the law
and order of the community. It
is a striking fact that the history
of this city has been that any
man who has tried to do his duty
in an office connected with the.
police administration has strong
opposition for re-election. The
reason for this is , that every man
who has been prosecuted used his
best offorts'to defeat the prosecu
tor. This element has no politics.
The law and order element has ,
and thr-so who believe in conduct
of good report and the punish
ment of those who violate the
laws would be as xealons as are
those who disobey the law , then
a man would be rewarded rather
than punished for the perform
ance of duty. A vote for Mosi-
inan and Cleaver is a vote for
men who .vill make honest and
efficient oflicers. John Mosiman
is an energetic , and reliable man ,
with a liberal education and
an excellent knowledge of busi
ness affairs. He is now engaged
in the implement business , and
his office at the corner of Stone
and Third streets. He has not
lived in the city long enough for
everyone to become acquainted
with him , he having moved in
from Arago precinct a few years
ago , but all who do know him
know that he is'a fine gentleman
who to know is to admire and
respect. He will make an excel
lent justice , and both he and
Judge Cleaver should be elected.
Stock Sale.
Saturday W. F. Rieschick ami
II. C. Wittrock sold 45 of theii
pure bred Poland China hogs al
public sale , which averaged ovei
520.00 each. They were an ex
tra fine lot of hogs and were ap
preciated by the farmers and
breeders making it a very satis
factory sale to both the seller- :
and the buyers. Messrs Reischick
and Wittrock are making pre
paration for a bred sow sale in
February and it is their aim to
offer then a lot of hogs equally
as attractive as those that wi-re
sold Saturday.
Pleasantly Entertains.

Telephone Communication.
Kulo. Ncbr. , Oct. 23 ' 05.
In your edition of October 13 ,
I noticed that the Falls City Com-
uercial club had an enthusiastic
neetiiig , and < ve expected an in
vitation to this meeting but wait
ed in vain. It looks a little
strange that we were not notified
of that meeting. All we knew
was what we road in tin : Tribune
ibout it. The Journal never said
; i word about the matter. Why
: lon't the Journal give the full
letails of the meetings of the
Commercial ClubV Are the Falls
ity people satisfied with such a
one sided report. If a paper
won't tell its readers all the de
tails of a meeting it better not
say a word about it.
It seems to me that the Falls
3ity Telephone Company does
lot like to have anything to do
with the Mutual companies un
less they can get a money mak
ing bargain out of them and so
their representatives , A Weaver
uid J. II. Morehead try to defend
their case to their own benefit.
We tried these fellows before ,
and if the business men of Falls
ity don't work together to let
the Mutual companies in , the
Falls City company will never
give us a fair chance
No\v , my friends and business
men of Falls City who is benefit-
ting you more : the farmers who
like to do business with you by
phone , or a few fellows in Falls
City who are only after your
money V We don't want to
quarrel much longer with the
Falls City Telephone company.
We don't want to do them
any damage therefore'
wu'ttld like to havp free ex
change with them and by giving
the Mutual companies free ex
change the patrons or routers of
the Falls City company would
have the privilege of talking over
a big territory without paying a
cent more rent. And if the Falls
City company wont give the
Mutual companies free exchange ,
please give the Mutual companies
the right to build into Falls City.
Then we would give you for
the same money a phone with
which you can talk nearly all
over Richardson County and
clear down to Hiawatha , and all
towns between and east includ
ing 2,300 phones.
Rule did the same as Falls City
is doing now to keep the Mutual
company out ; but the business
men began to kick like one I
heard and said to the president
of the Rule Telephone company.
"If you don't let the farmers into
Rule you can takeourd phone
out , I have not much uselfor t. ' '
Now. you business men of
Falls City if you do the same
with your homo company you
would not bo very much longer
without the privilege of talking
with the farmers.
Don't you know that all the
many old farmers living in Falls
City are kept from taking with
their children and friends in the
country ? Don't these people
amount to anything to you , Falls
Cit. ' businessmen ? We all hope
that this matter will soon be set
tled so that we farmers wont
have to stay away from Falls City
which wo will surely do at least
for several months if we don't
get connection with Falls City.
Your very truly.
