A FAilURE. It is a sad tiling , this losing , _ . . _ - out .in Hfc. Out of all thc years since time began , out of all thc years that j are to come , this is your only chance on this old gray carth. If . . . , . _ . - . . . . . you have lost you cannot retrace I . your steps and try again. You . arc down and out. Your one , < < chance is gone forever and for- J c\'er ' 'I : ever.There arc med grown old who arc sour and crabid because of II I their own failure. Their ac- I quaintances cannot suit them I unless they also fail. To such 1/ / mien , success in another is thc . cardinal sin. ; It is pitiable j . 'T ' Imere arc men whose existence has been centered on some ambi- i ti0l1 , and because of their own mistakes , thc ambition has failed of accomplishmcn 'rhcrc arc men whose whole ItC. l i ; : lives have been spent in the I search for office Men who ha\'e bartered every political principle , , and violated every precept of " party creed for the sake of political prefcrmcnt. Men who : . . . . have belonged at one time or an- other to every political party that I . has had an existence , and have been of course , a candidatc for j . . , . . . office in every party to which they have bclonged. I The end of such an individual may be foretold from thc bcgin- ning. No party can or docs trust him. No party organization will I , _ own him. Hc is a political Ish- I maclitc. Ii' C . . , - It must he rather rough on a . : man to be denied membership in : ( , a political organization. If it were a church Ua. . lodge it would bc easier to cndurc. Not many men have faced such a proposition - _ tion as that. :1 : But there arc men who arc so situated , and they arc sour and pessimistic poor fellows. Sonic of them are too old to try again , 1 so they try to drag the other fellow - , . . . low down , and thus make their f . . . . ° . rJ. own failure less conspicuous. , I Sad , isn't it ? _ . . . I . . 1 _ ALFALFA. : , _ . , . " In a ride cf fourteen miles last , , Sunday , I saw but one farm that ; " ; - ' had no alfalfa field. This won- . " dcrful plant is springing into tea' universal fa\'or. and it is entitled . , , ' to all thc attention given it. Nothing that the farmer raises is t superior as a fccd. It is as good i \ . as a mcdicinc. One of thc lecturers - , turcrs at the late institute said 1 I . . that it contained every ingredient and was far superior to the bcst stock food. It is wonderfully prolific and will restore the nitro- gen in thc land nctrly : as well as clover. A farmer told mc Sun- . ' day that he cut his alfalfa four times last year. That he sold the third cutting for enough : to net him five dollars an acre for his land , and with the hay from the other three cuttings hc win- tcrcd all of his stock. I saw thc stock and it was as fat as though it had been fed grain all wintcr. If you have no alfalfa on your farm , by all means sow sonic about August or Septcmber. Easter with its holy signifi- cancc is soon to be celebratc } Some will go to church , some will blossom out in new finery and all of us will eat cggs. There may be other days of christian celebration - bration that arc more enjoyable , but none so wonderful. This I mighty mystery called life is springing up around and about us. I Another summer is cOll1in _ ! ! ' when nnn thc old earth will grant its great harvest to feed and perpetuate thc sons of men Spring's resurrection - rection is taken by us as a mere matter of course , without a thought of what it means , or of thc wonderful force which makes it all possible "Oh Lord , what is i man that Thou art mindful of him. " - = - So far as the telephone . situation - tion is ' ' ' ' concerned The Tribune docs not feel it ncccssary to run down every ugly rumor. It stated week before last that no deal was made between this paper and thc local company. \Vc now reaffirm that statemcnt. No truthful man will say there was. So far as thc News and The { Tribune is con- ccrncd wc will say that wc have never tried nor wished to injure the business of that papcr. The statement of thc News that wc had is gratuitous and untruc. If there were as much hard work clone for and in thc churches as there is in destroying some one cls ( 's reputation this would bc a better 'odd The above quota- tion is taken from thc Falls City Journal. In reproducing it .vc feel that the humor of thc situa- tion is sufficiently apparent to permit us to refrain from com- m cn 1. In order that everybody may understand our position , we say , what it should not bc necessary to say , that the city campaign closed on Tuesday evening , April 4th. Mr. Leyda is our mayor and wc are with him on every propo- sition looking to thc improvc- rent of Falls City. If you want to see prosperity just look at thc farm houses and barns on thc road to Salem , beginning - ginning with Will Holt's and ending with George Coon's. ' 1 , ? . 1 ' . . 1 J \i 'EAST Ell , On Easter Sunday you should look as fresh in your attire as the Easter Lilies that will bc blooming all around you. You can't look it , however , unless your Shoes are right. \Ve invite every Man , Woman and Child to come to see our large and attractive lines of Handsome Easter Footwear Many of our styles aloe exclusive with us. vVe've just the Shoes a well dressed man will want to 'go with his new Suitor an elegantly dressed Woman will want for her Easter Gown. Remember No patron of ours ever pays too much for the Footwear they buy here. GEO. B. HOLT The Shoe Man L _ _ - . A good looking young bachelor was being reprimanded by n young lady of a neighboring town upon his single blcsscdnesR. He told her that hc would marry any member of her cl ub that they should decide upon by ballot. A vote of thc girls was taken and each member gotonc vote. Every . girl voted for herself and the club disbanded to prevent a disturbance - turbancc of the peacc. Read thc ads 111 this is3ue ! The merchant who wants your trade and offers induccmcnts to get it , is the advertising mcrchant. A murderer who was to be hanged in Missouri this week , requested - quested Go\'cn Or Folk to grant him a stay of execution until thc Japanese and Russian fleets had met and fought it out. The News mean is boasting of his prowess as a chicken man and delivers himself of a little shot with a double purpose at us. Just wait , it's easy to hatch the chicls-but just wait. \Ve have been through it. Auburn is an active applicant for the republican congressional convention soon to be hcld. If Falls City cannot secure it , wc would be glad to see Auburn suc- cccd. Anywhere except Lincoln. Last week was the busiest and most profitable week in The 'l ri- bune's carcC'r. \Ve are anxiously .1 waiting thc outcome of the annual race among our Salcm friends to produce the earliest pota toes. The editor of the Hiawatha \V orld says that Falls City has ten saloons. This is a mistake , but Falls City has tlat : stuff that seldom fails to make thc Hiawatha - watha man see doublc. President ooserc1t has hunt- cd the wolves of Oklahoma and is now chasing the bears of CoIo- rada. He has run foot races with the cowboys and generally laid aside thc duties and dignity of his great positon. . W.e do not begrudge thc President his vaca- tion nor his "bully good timc , but just the same source of his antics don't look in good taste in President of thc United Statcs alis Good of Ncmaha county is a candidate for state treasurcr. Mr. Good is out a little early , but as a candidate hc would live up to his name nIl rig-ht. \Vhcn ever } ' other scheme to bolster ] up a dwindling circula- tion fails try taking a fake cen- sus.
