Friday and Sat- urday of last wcck. 'ro speak of it as succcssful is to do scant jus- ticc to the . most succcssful insti- tutc ever held in Falls City. Dur- ing most of the sessions thc large court room was inadequate to ac- comodatc thc crowd of farmers present and an adjournmcn to thc large auditorium of the Methodist - odist church was ncccssary to 1 provide room for thc many who desired to attend thc Saturday evening mccting. Friday afternoon session was 1 - introduced with choice musical selections rendered by Ethel Cade i1 ' of thc audi- . , much to the delight - -.4. . . . . cnce. V. G. Lyford expressed thc pleasure halls City felt in cn- .r't/ , t rtaining- thc institute and gave I'a very hearty welcome in his usu- ! , . _ al good taste fo which speech . H. ' . m. Lemon and R. E. Grinstead responded. ! _ After Rev. E. E. Haskins had pronounced thc invocation C. M. Lewclling of Bea\'cr City , Nchr. , gave a masterly and exhaustive ' address on "Economic Pork Pro- tluction. " 1'11' Lcwc11ing made the Sur or rather thc bristles ill' It i5 greatly to 'rcg-retted that every farmer in Richardson county did not 1.car this splendid addre5s. The speaker neglected 110 feature of his subject and gave his auditors thc benefit of thc knowledge and experience which he had acquired in thc hard school W f ; of his lifers work. Hc demonstrated - - trated that success in any branch 5 of human endeavor can bc purL - . , chased only by correct thinking L and practice. r.- . After an interesting talk by 1 ' ' ' ' \ . - Mrs. C. E. Welton of li'airbun * on bread and yeast making which , was greatly enjoyed by the ladies present , Mr. welling was again thc speaker : on the subject "the ' care of seed corn. " Thc subject s - was so fully and biy covered yl . . , , - _ _ _ _ . _ .ihatuthc query box was not called - - into play , in fact there was noth- ing- left to bc answered. ! . At the opening of thc after- ' noon session Anna Dorring-ton delighted - . lighted audience with a charm jug vocal selection , her accompa- " Miss Shocn- ment being played by - heit. Household hints was thc topic to which Mrs. C. E. Shelton spoke - intcrestini Mr. Lewd Ii rig again demonstrated thc care and study he had given to agriculture by an exhaustive address on thc a , : are and management of poultry and as before thc question box was not used. , Vm. Mohler thc successful nurseryman greatly interested an attractive audience on horticult- urc. Mr. \Iohlcr has spent the bcst part of his life in thc study of trees and his talk was not only practical but very cntertaining-as well. R g. Grinstcad discussed thc important question of reduc- cd freight rates to thc world's market for all horticultural prod- ucts in South Eastern Ncbraska. Mr. Grinstcad made the statement - mcnt that at least fifty thousand bushels of fruit went to waste last year in each of the five south cast counties Nebraska because of exorbitant freight ratcs. These rates 1'1r. Grinstcad thought could bc reduced if thc subject was properly brought to thc attention - tentIon of thc railroad coin panvs. Miss Cadc enlivened thc m.et- ing with musical selcctions. Saturday afternoon's session was begun with Mr. O. Hull's ad- dress on soil ti11age. Mr. Huil also delivered ' treatise on alfalfa culture and handled each subject in a masterly man tier and greatly to the interest of thc large crowd of farmers in attendancc. It is but due Mr. Hull that \\e state that Mr. Lewclling in his talk 'I thc day before on the pig and a t . . .1.,1 . . . . .t,1 1- k , ' , : "f.

Crocker had well planned \rrang-e for the closing : cxcr- vises to be blended with the educational - cational interest of the count A joint debate between two mCl11bcr : ! of thc Humboldt schools and two members of thc halls City school was the feature of the - e\'cnitg which attracted r' I-rowd : so large that an adjournnf.hntto ; ' the M.

The crowd in attendance . ancc felt like standing up for Ne braska as it listened to times ! young : people acq u i tin : , ! thernselve so proudly. The finest of all fin ( Nebraska products is the frcsl faced young met : and worn en a hare ( arc so soon to become the responsible sible head of our great common wealth. The respective mcri t of thc debaters was a more seri ous problem than the IIAgc 0 Ann. " If the writer had possessed cd thc wealth of Andy Carncgj those young men and women would have received a present of a thousand 1 dollars each as a reward - ward of mcrit. l\r. Arnold malt one of the happy hits when hc said that thc farl11e1's never moved - cd to town until he was worn out and no good , cross , rabid and of a bilious temperament , then he moved to town to find congenial company. Humboldt won the debate but Earl Cline was declared the best individual debater and was award . 'd a gold mcdal. ? Iiss Draper had a moment confusion ; in her address but it wa : only a moment , for she gath ' ereei hcrself and with a little smile of confidence : on her fact she , conscious of her own strength : continued her argument in a wcl modulated voice that rcached I c'cncar in the crowd , until the crowd broke forth into applause over thc pluck and ability of one of Nebnlska's little daug-hters. Miss Grace Minor charmed thc audience with a reading as she always docs. Dept state super intendent E. C. Bishop dcl'cred an able address on " 'l'hc 20th century farmer.

A City's Charity. If a stranger had visited thi , office Monday , he would h.I\'C h in I ferred that wc were abo'ut t ( launch in the mercantile business , Package after package of cloth ing , caps , hoods , ill ittens , shoe ; and stockings for thc poor child ren of our city were Drought u : I for distribution amid through l1 ! , reached those who needed them I most. Last weck's issue of 'I'h < Tribune was scarcely in thc pos office before Mayor George Holt whose heart is as big as his bed ) . carne in search of such inform.1 . Lion as wc hal as to thc true con dition , and learning it plOceed ( to get busy. Time result wa that fully a dray load of warn ; clothing and other ncccssaric were dish ibutcd among the little - unfortunatcs. It is a pleasure tl - speak of thc open heartedness 0 s such firms as V.G. Ly fonl , Georg - Cleveland , Johnston & Sons , Bodl & Sons , Hall & Green 'ald , Chins - Hargra\'c , Dr. Roberts and th c many mcn and women who hay assisted in this charity. Miss Minnie lcDonald of thc lundcr- gartcn department of our schools , was especially active and The 1'ribunc extends its thanks to her for tier helpful co-ocratioil. Alto- g-ether l ' alls City has a good many mcn and women that God madc , and all that \t \ rcquircs to demon- I stratc this fact is to let it be t knowlI that some one is in need of assistance. The Tribune has been very happy in doing its part and will gladly lend its assistance at any time in the future , but it occurs to us that there should be a board of charity in this ! town whose duty it is te ascertain any suffering and -to relieve it in thc most practical wa\ ' . With such I an organization such sul/cring as I occurcd last week would be obviated - viated and a public appeal by the press tendered un necessa ry. . - - - - - - - - - - Charlie Cain Dead. The sad and unexpected news or the death of Charlie Cain , son of ? Ir. and ? Irs. Fred Cain reac'h- ed this city l\IoJ'.day c\'enin : fi'or about two weeks Charlic has been very ill at Billings , ? Ion t " with small pox. From the news received daily from his bedside there wa every hope of r his ultimate recovery ) as hc had safely passed thc clanger Ijoint and"Lo all appearances on thc rd.td to rccovery. The news of his death which occu red Monda afternoon at four o'clock was a great shock to the entire com- munity. Chas. Cain was about twenty- three years of age and was it young man of splendid habits and great : prom ise. From a position I as clerk in the store of Donavan & McCormick he hall in a few years risen to thc position of general manager in charge of all the buying at a salary of $1200 a \'car. Thc world cannot afford to lose ) voting men like him. 'he loss to his ! paiemits is pcculwrly sad , . for though his father , Fred Cain , went to Billings at once hc was . never permitted to see his son ' ' and : could learn of his condition I only through telephone mcssagcs. 1'hc body was buried within two hours of leath. 'l'herc is , nothing to be said that can lessen thc grief of thc stricken father - and mother who were denied even the sad pleasure of ministering tu thc wants of their dying boy. The great heart of halls City however , goes out to them in their anguish and thc many friends : of thc family offer their e tcndcrest sympa th , ' . 'l'hough it i bc a mystery now , c somctimc-stimcwhere. we shall e understand.
