Advent
Advent is the Latin for coming.
The four Advent Sundays imme-
*
diatel } ' precede the great festival
of our Savior's nativity. The } '
are so called because designed to
prepare us to commemorate the
advent or coming of Christ in the
ilesh at Christmas , and also to
prepare for His second coming to
judge the world. This season of
the churches year begins next
Sunday. It is a penitential sea
son and has been observed by the
Roman and English churches
since the fourth century. The
Collects , Epistles and Gospels in
the Episcopal prayer book for
these Sundays bring out and
teach "The four last things"
namely , Death , Judgment , Hell ,
Heaven. The Rev. G. L. Neide
will deliver a sermon on each of
these subjects at St. Thomas
church beginning next Sunday
night , when he will take up the
first subject , ' 'Death. "
To Our Subscribers.
Only one more month remains
of 1907. After that time the
price of this paper will be Si.50
per year. We have tried to give
our readers a good , newsy , home
paper and think they appreciate
it and will recognise the justness
of our demand in raising our
price to $1.50. We are proud of
our list , a majority of them are
paid up to date and many of
them two or three years in ad
vance , still there are some who
are in arrearsi and to these we
wish to say that we would like
to have you call and settle , in
order that we may be able to
start our new subscription list on
January 1st , 1908 on the $1 SO
basis.
We are better equipped than
ever before to give you a good
paper and will put forth our best
efforts to do so in the future , and
feel sure of the co-operation of all
our subscribers in this move.
This change is made on account
of the advance in price of all
printing material , not that we
expect to become rich by it.
Come in and settle.

; Library Notes
i There were two hundred visit
ors at the Library last Saturday ,
, An order for new books wasi
in this week and will be prepared -
; pared for circulation 'as soon as
| possible.
The Library was closed all day
Thanksgiving day.
Men as public-libran users arc
commonly held to be outnumbered
ed by fiction-foolish women and
children. A test was made in a
great eastern librarv during the
month of March , the busiest one
of the year. It was found that
45 per cent of the persons who
came to the delivery room were
men and boys , and the librarian
reports that many of the women
and girls came for books for
their fathers or brothers or
husbands ,
"Black Beauty" the friend of
all lovers of horses , old or
young , has come under the spirit
of the times and been dramatized
by Mr. Austin Adams and play
ed at Salem , Mass. Black
Beauty comes on the stage a
splendid , carefully trained
animal , and carries she sytn
pathies of the audience from that
moment to the last where he is
seen tugging vainly at a heavy
load up a monstrous hill in the
face of a blinding sno.v-s'orm. '
Bode Must Serve Sentence
Erwin O- Bode will have to
serve four years in the peniten
tiary and pa } * S12000 fine for his
ilefalcation while city treasurer.
The supreme court affirmed the
judgment of the lower court ,
which fixed his sentence at four
yearsMr. . Bode will be taken to
Lincoln as soon as the necessary
arrangements can be made , and
thus ends a case which has caused
more than ordinarj * interest ,
owing to the popularity of the
man.
It is thought by many of our
people that if the whole truth
of this affair was known it would
show that the unfortunate de
fendant was more the victim of
circumstances than anything else.
Great sympathy is felt lor the
family and not a few think that
Mr. Bode is bearing burdens that
belong in part to other people.
District'court.
Judge Kaper has been push
ing cases for the past week in
order that as much of the
docket could be cleared up as
possible. The jury cases of
importance that have been tried
have included the damage suit
of Tiehen against Stewart be
cause of a lake made by the
defendant on the bank of the
Nemaha river. This case was
hard fought and occupied the
attention of the court and jury
for some time. The jury after
many hours of deliberation ,
returned a verdict fur defendant.
Arthur Frenchy plead guilty to
breaking into Self's store and
the court gave him two and a
half years in the pen. One oi
the fellows who was with him
also plead guilty and got off
with two years. The third
man stood trial and was found
guilt } ' of petit larceny and gets
off with a jail sentence.
Several matters of minor inu
portance were argued to the
court and by him taken under
advisement. The jury was ex
cused until December 1(5 ( at
which time the Ellington mur
der case will be tried.
The jury has been excused to
eat Thanksgiving turkey at
home and the tired judge and
lawyers are taking a well earn-
holiday.

Herman Koehler , who has
just returned from a trip
through Alabama , brought back
with hi in a tine collection of the
different products of that
country < which he placed on ex

see it.
Plate Glass Window Broken.
A broken window in the
post office building is the nut-
come , of the .small boy and his
top. The accident happened
Wednesday. No one knows
who did it , but we all know it
,
happened and ten to one the
little fellow's heart hasn't as
sumed its natural beat up to
this time.
Boys will be boys and they
cannot be the real thing with
out a top , but in the future they
had better confine their spin
ning to the back streets , where
they will not be liable to get
tangled up with the plate glass
fronts.
A Real Thanksgiving.
The home.if Dr. M. L. Wilson
and wife was the scene of a real
Thanksgiving party today
( Thursday ) when a crowd of
their Humboldt Iriends came' '
down on the early morning
train to celebrate with them.
There were twenty in number
and included .1. 0. Segrist , G.
W. Segrist , L. J. Segrist , I. E.
Shirley , D. C. Colhapp , A. |
Buerstetter and their families.
It was indeed a happy crowd
that sat down to the table tilled
with all the good things pos
sible , and the day passed all too
quickly , but when they were at
last forced to say good bye in
order to catch the evening train
home it wast with the feeling
that this is a pretty good old
world and the } ' all had much toj |
be thankful for.
Women Are to Blame.
Since The Tribune and the
News have called attention to
the fast driving and over load
ing of teams which has become
the custom in this city , dif
ferent merchants have informed
us that our women are , in a
great measure , to blame for
t'jis ' state of affairs. They wait
until the last minute to tele
phone their orders for groceries
and meat , and never fail to say
"be sure and send it im
mediately , as we need it for
dinner. " Possibly some of
these same women are the ones
who called attention to the
inhuman treatment of the de
livery horses , never dreaming
they were a great deal to blame
in the matter. In Lincoln and
other places merchants are asking -
ing the co operation of the
humane societies in solving this
question , and at their last meet ,
ing resolutions were adopted
whereby special appeals will be
made to the housewives asking
them to send in their orders
early , thus sparing not only
the horses , but the drivers and
clerks as well.
Falls City has a humane
society and we would suggest
they call a meeting and emulate
the example of our sister cities.

The following taken from the
Lincoln Journal of Sunday , and
contributed by the XVeeping
water correspondent , will be of
interest to our readers , and
especially to the members of
our various clubs , in whose
ranks Mrs. Gist has always
been an enthusiastic worker ,
and who is proving herself to
be a lady of more than ordinary
ability , and appreciated abroad
as well as at home :

non , in honor of Mrs. T. .1. Gist

'of Falls City and true to her ,
inheritance , she is a woman of
bright mind and of striking

temporaneous talk that was
'forceful and full of enthusiam

clubs. The first district is to
be congratulated upon its choice
of vice president.
Attempted Suicide ,
i Lelioy Turner of Salem
thought he had nothing to live
for anil attempted suicide on.
Saturday evening. Unrequited
affection was the cause.
It seems that the lady in the
case had "two 'strings to her
how" on the evening in question
and upon coining out ol church
she and the favored one were
met by Turner , who after a few
words , nourished a revolver
and bid them good bye. As he
did so he turned the weapon up-
o'n himself and tired , the first-
shot missing the mark , the
second , however succeeded in
malting a slight wound near the
region of the heart.
The young lady and her
escort took Turner to his home
and summoned a physican who
Iressed the wound , and the
patient was able to attend
church the next day.
Fridaytlie 13th.
That there is nothing super ,
stitious about Herman Koehler ,
is proven by the date which he
has set lor his big public sale
to take place on his farm near
lluIn. Mr. Koehler says that
is his lucky day and he expects
big crowd , and everything
will go at the top price.Ve
await results , and if all turns
out as he says \ve will forever
bury this old superstition.
Either 1 ! { or Friday have been
considered unlucky , but as a
combination it is more than our
,
pessimistic nature can swallow.
\ttcnd this sale and watch the
outcome.
