A Real Artist.
- A glance at the beautiful vase
in the window at Davies &
Owens jewelry store will con.
vince you that we have a real
artist in our midst. It is the
work of Mrs. T. K. Mason ol
this city and is an elegant piece
of art. While Mrs. Mason has
been conducting a studio in this
city for some time and instructs
a large class , few realize the
superiority of her work. If you
have not seen this one particu
lar piece it is worth your time to
make a special trip to Davies &
Owens for that purpose.
Pollard to be Here.
H. C. Smith invited Congressman -
man Pollard to be with us dur
ing a meeting of the Horticult
ural society which convenes
here the 21st o't this month and
deliver an address before that
body. This week Mr. Smith re
ceived "a letter of acceptance
from that gentleman. This is
welcome news and' is sure to
draw a good crowd.
Perkins Confesses.
Sheriff Fenton and Chief of
Police Marts have succeded in
gaining a confession from Perk
ins the colored man now in jail
for robbing the National hotel ,
wherein he acknowledges his
guilt as to several thefts which
have occurred in this city re
cently. He has also expressed
his willingness and desire to
plead guilty at the next session
of court and throw himself upon
its mercy.
Kicked by a Horse.
While playing around the
livery barn of Benschoter &
Doerner on Wednesday about
noon , Ha/ley Job was kicked by
a horse and his right leg brok
en. The little-fellow was taken
home and medical attention
given at once and he is now
doing nicely.
The proprietors of the barn
have done all within their pow
er to keep boys from playing
there , and while the accident is
greatly regretted by them they
feel that the blame can be at
tached to no one.
The First Victim.
The first Fourth of July vic
tim in this city is Willie Job ,
who is now carrying his hand in
a sling ; the result of a wound
received Monday by a blank 22
cartridge. So far the little fel
low is getting along nicely , but
will not have the time tomorrow
he might have had but for his
early display of patriotism.
Take warning boys and be
careful tomorrow.

News comes to us this week
from San Marcial , New Mexico ,
that F. A. Boose of our city has
been elected to the principalship

Frank Boose is a young- man
most well and favorably. , known

our midst. He is a graduate of
our high school being a member
of the class of ' 05 , has attended
the University and graduated
from the State normal this spring.

last year in the Sailor school
west of town and made good
there. He is now to make his
first attempt as the head of a
town school system , San Marcial

habitants. While Mr. Boose is
young in years and.experience we
feel sure that his steady qualities

terday for Shenandoah , Iowa for

Once Enough For Him.
Herbert Hedges had an experi
ence Friday night which he says
will stay with him for some time.
He was mail clerk on one of the
trains wrecked that night on the
Kansas & Northwestern out of
Kansas City and is now at home
in this city for repairsIt was a
liead on collision of two passen
ger trains , caused presumably by
misunderstood orders. The ex
pressman on Mr. Hedges' train
was 'killed' outright and man } '
passengers on both trains were
severely injured. Several cars
went down a high enbankment ,
and Herbert was in one of them ,
lie said when he quit rolling he
found himself under a lot of de
bris but was protected in such a
manner as to keep the heayy
wreckage off ol him , otherwise he
would have surely been killed but
fortunately escaped with only
several cuts and bruises and a
horrible scare. His car , as was
the case with several others , was
a complete wreck. After viewing
the smash up Herbert thinks he
is pretty lucky to be-alive.

of friends , who while they rejoice
with her in her new happiness
are sorry to see her go from them
to form new ties. She had ser-

forms us that one train a week is
about the average , one passing

pioneer capitol mover. Mrs. Gist
possesses some of the resourceful
nature and untiring : energy that
was characteristic of her dis
tinguished relative. The Boston
Transcript ) June 24.
Democrats Scarce.
Two months ago it was thought
it would require three sleepers to
accommodaie the crowd going
from this vicinity to the Denver
convention , but since Taft's nom
ination. the combined efforts of
Jimmy Mendcnhall and Agent
Whitford could not unearth
enough democrats in Kulo , Falls
City , Ilumboldt and Pawnee to
fill one sleeper and an order for
the same as cancelled.
Heck & Harlow , the new fruit
firm have fitted up a finely equip
ped up town office in the Heck

It is surprising how many of
the prominent papers of the
country , especially the Democratic -
cratic paperswhich speak highly
of Mr. Taft's
ly proven quali
fications for the presidency. It
seems to be the universal opin
ion that there has never been a
candidate , within the history of
the country , who has , previous
to hfs election , shown himself
so well qualified for the great
office for which he has been
nominated. Taft is no uncer
tain quantity. He has shown
his great ability. His record is
one of great works accomplish
ed notof great thing promised.

What's Your Boy Worth ?
Ever sine , : The Tribune has
jeen in existence it has been t > cold-
ng about the careless , senseless
method of celebrating the Fourth.
Repeatedly we have appealed to
: he council for an ordinance pro
hibiting the death dealing , nerve
racking cannon cracker.
We have nagged at parents for
their carelessness , their heedlessness -
ness until we have been called a
common scold. We haven't for
gotten the days when we were
young , but as I remember them
[ wonder that boys ever live to
grow old.
Next week we may publish a
news item of some child killed , or
burned or blind as a result of our
glorious Fourth. Suppose it is
your boy ! Are you ready for
such a sacrifice for the altar of a.
false patriotism ?
Last year 194 souls passed out
on the Fourth of July. Last
year 425 < J were seriously injured
celebrating the aniversary of our
independence. Last year 24 chil
dren were rendered utterly , hope
lessly blind by fire crackers. Last
year 47 children died of lock-jaw
as the result of powder burns.
What will the harvest be next
Saturday ?
