Now on the square , do jou think the reformer will put it back ? The Journal supporting Mc- Cray is about tlie most appro priate thing we know of. Holt will make an admirable county clerk and will doubtless receive a large vote in the east end.of the county. Vint Arnold will be the next assessor , put that in your hat. The business element of the county is not going to lose such an opportunity to employ a mighty good man. John Kaper and L. M. Pcmbcr- ton are to be the next district judges , a fact that should please every litigant in the district. No question can be raised as to the character or ability of either of these men. Just by the way of comparison and not in a complaining spirit we would call attention to the fact that two Auburn papers car ried S itimcs as much advertis ing last week as the three Falls City papers did. Judge Scott has years of ex perience behind him and has an unusual knowledge of probate law. His services years ago as county judge have convinced the jcoplc that he ia the right man to elect this year. It is not surprising that McCray should lie about John Gilligai and that the Journal shouU slander John A. Crook. This cummunity is growing so ac customcd to the slander of the Journal that neither Gilligan nor Crook need feel any humiliatioi at the Journal's attitude. By the way , have you seen any thing from Jenny in the way o : a denial that he has been system atically overcharging for his work ? lias the old story of stoj theif been forgotten ? Would not be well for this young mar to stop trying to distract at tcntion from his wrong doing by shouting graft against othe people , and pay a little attentioi to getting his own house in order Is the campaign of slaudc never to cease ? Are those win know the Journal gang and wlic are manlycnough to be their owi masters to bo submitted to sue vitiations slander as that reeking sheet gets out each week. Whe John Martin was in Beatrice try ing to keep a Falls City institi lion from getting employinen John Crook told him in ver. plain language what he though of him , language that young Martin took like a cowardly cur. He has a safer defense. He publishes a slanderous statement over the signature of Bill McCray and considers himself justified. Mr. McCray and Martin are to be given the opportunity of proving the truth of their cowardly at tack in the immediate future. 4.IMIMM. * * * * * Ready for You OUR FALL AND WINTER SHOES are now on the shelf ; a most complete line. We can fit you in the proper styles. Why ? Because we carry the size. We call special attention to our high tops and work shoes of all kinds. Rubber goods galore just received. We have the over shoes you want. H. M. Jenne Shoe Store Often overlooked The public schools too often overlook the practical side of the boy's or the girl's educa tion. It therefore becomes our pleasant duty to assist the boys and girls in getting1 a knowl edge of those things which must shortly con cern their financial welfare. Our great effort is to encourage them to save money. Send them to us and we will do our utmost to get them started right. - : - - : - - : - - : - FALLS CITY STATE BANK Kails City is becoming quite a liyc stock sale center. The Tribune has been busy night and day for the past three weeks printing sale catalogues. Bill McCray won't you please stay home ! The board could reduce the levy at least one mill if Bill would just draw his salary and not insist on his extravagant measures. lie isn't much of a newspaper man , and he doesn't stay in one party long enough to know what kind of a party man he would make , but Gee , ain't he a bird of an estimator. Don't ring us off and tell us wo are fourllusing when we say that the Mo. Pac. has ordered its bridge gangs to make Falls City their headquarters and that the boys who claim to know are looking wise and thinking wonderful things- Wichita won over Omaha for the championship of the two leagues of which they are mem bers. It might not be out of place to say that John Holland , the Falls City boy , is manager of the Wichita team and won the deciding game by making two home runs. There ought to be room enough in Falls City for every legitimate enterprise. There ihould be a welcome for every institution that brings wealth to he town. There should be Falls City spirit that would frown upon every effort , to des troy or injure thase enterpreses that make for a better and more prosperous town. We havn't got it and every one knows why. You say that you are tired of a newspaper war. Can you sug gest a remedy ? The Tribune dislikes and deplores it as much as you , but can a paper remain silent tinder constant attacks on itself and other worthy enter prises ? Has this paper ever done more than defend Falls City institutions against the at tacks of an irresponsible crowd that has foisted itself on the com munity. The plain truth of the matter is that the remedy for such an evil is to refuse to patronize any institution that spends its enegies in opposition to this community. Poland China Sale.

"Probably ( he fact that there arc a number of Buddhists in Philadel phia is not news , " says a local ob server , "hut you may be surprised to learn that there is quite a gathering here of Americans who nro Moham- nicdnns that is , who have become converts to the Moslem faith. Their number is about 20 and they meet in one another's IIOUFCS from time to time for worship , llow they came to join the Mohnmmcdnn faith is more- than T know , but of the fact that they did thcro is no doubt. One of their number , who formerly lived in Turkey , lias been the chief pros- clytcr , and it has been his function to translate and comment upon the Koran , or Mohammedan Bible. The circle is very exclusive and seeks to avoid notice. At present its mem bers are scattered among the sum mer resorts , as they are mostly per sons of means. ' ' Philadelphia Ucc- ord. WHEN NOT TO SEE. The shabby spider met the pros perous mole. "You are looking unusually well , " said the spidur. "What are yon fol lowing now ? " "Why , T am a government in spector. " replied the mole , with a sly wink. "Government inspector ? Why , T was a government inspector and couldn't make salt. I have eight eyes , too. " The mole smiled. "That's just the trouble. You saw too much. Ifcmcmber , T am blind. That's why I make a good government inspector. " , WOMAN DOING GOOD WORK. Ir. Mary Stone , who is the head of nn American hospital in Kiuk- Inng , central China , lately retnrwd to this country to be operated up on for appendicitis. She has recov ered , is now in Xew York and will return to China in the full. She graduated from Ann Arbor ten years ago and is said to be the only educated physician in a province containing 5,000,000 people. Last year she personally treated more than 1-1,000 patients. . NO MORE DEADLOCKS. Old Lawyer Yes , sir , I'm in favor of woman jurors. If we had women to fix up the verdicts there would be no more disagreements or deadlocks. Young attorney How do you fig ure that out ? Old Lawyer All that would be necessary to get a quick verdict would be to send a newspaper to the jury room containing a bargain advertisement good for that day Duly. Chicago Daily News. A CHANCE FOR HER. "What I would like , " said the jager young actress , "is a part with i death scene in it. I never fail to make a big hit when I die. " "I don't doubt it , " replied the heartless manager , "and 1 may say that you would make the biggest hit of your life if you would go awa ) somewhere and die right now. " MARK TWAIN , PHILOSOPHER. Mark Twain is a philosopher who uses laughter as his medium ; when he jests it would seem as though he did so out of kindliness. He puts on the cap and bells instead of crown or mitre , but with the same purpose. London New * Age. TO HARNESS OCEAN Tii Experiments Made In Maine Show Progress Toward Success That Will Mean Much. Great progress toward successful liarnessing of the tides by which it is hoped to save the vast amount of tidal energy now going to waste and devote it to the operation of mills , quarries , factories and other estab lishments needing a driving force is being made in South Thoinastou , Me. Experiments on an extensive scale are being conducted , and it is lioned may solve the problem which has taxed the inventive minds of engineers all over the world. A basin with an area of a little more than one square mile is being used for the oporations-nnd a 12-foot rise in the tide makes it well adapted for the work. Promoters of the experiment plan to store the tide power in coin- pressed air apparatus and transmit it to lime quarries and factories along the const by a pipe line. RURAL FREE DELIVERY. "The rural free-delivery system has caused us no end of extra work/ ' said the publisher of a trade journal that has a large country circulation. "Probably not even the postal authorities realize so clearly as the man who has a heavy country correspondence how rapidly the rural free-delivery system has grown in the last two years. The books containing the address of our country correspondents and sub scribers have had to be entirely overhauled. Scores of little post of fices have literally been wiped oil' the list , and John Smith and hun dreds of other men who formerly had their mail addressed to their home villaire are now on route num ber two , three or four of the deliv ery system of a jiooJ-sized town. " HER BRILLIANT IDEA. Professor Some of the grandest inventions of the age have been the result of accidental discoveries. Young Lady I can readily be lieve it. Why I made an important discovery myself , and it was the purest accident , too. "I shoulr much like to hear it. " "Why , I found that , b } ' keeping a bottle of ink handy , a fountain pen can be used just the same as any other pen without any of the bother and mess of filling it. " PERFECTLY HARMLESS. The old bachelor was dining at the homo of a newly-married friend. "Have a piece of this cake , Mr. Oldbach , " said the fair hostess. "I made it myself. " "Thank you , " rejoined Oldbach , "but I er seldom eat cake. " "Oh , you needn't be afraid of it , Oldbach , " said the host. "I tried a piece of it on a tramp this nioru- WANTS NO YOUNG WOMEN. The chief of the Ghent police , who is organizing a brigade of police women , proposes to take on none ex cept women of from 40 to 50. At that age he thinks the sex has reached years of discretion , and has sufficient experience of life and hu man nature. A COMPLIMENT. Mrs. Newliwed Mr. Hakeleigh had the audacity to say I was "ugly as sin. " Mr. Newliwed My dear , coming from Rakeleigh , that's a compli ment. He proves by his general con duct that he considers ain anytl ny but ugly. HAD POOR IDEA OF FUN Messenger Boy's "Joke" In This Case Was Connected with Working Recoil Attachment. A boy who was until recently em ployed as a messenger at one of the local telegraph offices has an over weening sense of humor , says the Duluth News-Tribune. It is of the penetrating type , which nearly al ways furnishes the laugh for him alone and regrets for the other fel low. In fact , he recently left the employ of the company rather un ceremoniously because of it. Busi ness was dull one day and , overcome by ennui , the boy in question went to the telephone. He called up the home of one of the other employes and asked for the hitter's mother. "I am awfully sorry to have to tell you , Mrs. Blank , " he said , "but your son was just run over and had his leg cut oil' . " Then he hung up. Fortunately the conversation was overheard and i the frantic woman quickly reas sured. "Why did you do it ? " asked the manager. "Just for fun. " "Well , I know something funnier than that , " said the manager. "You get out of here just for fun and don't come back , just for fun or " anything else. " DAYS OF WHALING GONE. "Newfoundland's coastwise whale fishery , of which so much was ex pected , has utterly collapsed , " writes Consul Cornelius at St. Johns. "Started about ten years ago , with modern steamers and equipment , the first operators did so well that from a single ship it grew to 17. The re sult was the speedy killing out of the herds of gigantic mammals , 1,500 of which were destroyed in a single year. Gradually , however , the catch fell off , and within the s past year six or seven of the steam ers have been sold for similar work on the British Columbia and Jap anese coasts , while the companies owning them have gone into liquida tion. During the season of 1907 it is not expected that there will be more than seven or eight whalers operating in all. " r , TOLD OF SECRETARY ROOT. - When Secretary Root was at Panama on his return from South America , Gov. Magoon gave him a dinner , at which were present vari ous dignitaries. An invited banker who failed to appear called next day with explanations. A birth had oc curred just at that time in his fam ily , by which another girl had been added to six predecessors. "Too bad it was not a boy , " said Gov. Magoon , "you might have called him Elihu Root. " "Oh' " said the father , "we had de cided to call him that if the child had been a boy. But not being able to call the child exactly that , I shall call her Rootine. " ARCTIC PHENOMENA. One of the peculiar phenomena of the Arctic regions is "sea smoke. " Explorers tell of a steam as if from i a boiling kettle which rises from the water when the temperature is 15 degrees below zero. At 40 degrees the snow and human bodies emit this vapor , which changes into liny icy particles which fill , the air and make a light noise like the rustle of silk. At 40 degrees tree trunks burst with a loud report , rocks break ' up and streams of smoking water T" flow from great cracks in the earth's surface , knives break in cutting but ter and lighted cigars go out by con tact with the ice upon the beard.
