No. 16 FALLS CITY , NEBRASKA , l'RIDAY , ' MAY 12 , 1905. Whole No 71 _ _ m _ _ : j' "A Pointer to Advertisers. " t. ' Under the above heading the Falls City Journal has distributed a little pamphlet relative to the circulation of the three local newspapers. The admonition ; "don't show this to anyone" is 1 given to each advertiser who re- ti' ceivcs the phamplet. ' The statement - I ment is made in this remarkable . I document that will not or cannot ' : - endure publicity that the Journal circulates 356 papers in Falls l'- t Ctiy , the News 308 and The Tribune 155. The information . contained was obtained by a member of the Journal family i n a house t o. house can- vass. : Mrs. Thomas : Martin who made the canvass has evidently made several minor mistakes so , far as The Tribune is co'ncerned. . The Tribune has a bona fide circulation in Falls City of more than one-third in excess of the figures given in the pamphlet. The editor of The Tribune will contribute S50 to the com- mercial club if he cannot prove that The Tribune has more than 200 Falls City subscribers. In one , neighborhood we know of six families , five of whom take O t j The Tribune , four the News and not one of these families was canvassed by the young lady be- fore mentioned. The Tribune has not the larg- est circulation of any FaIls City paper-neither has the Journal , and its editors know it. I The Tribune has more subscribers - , ers on Falls City rural routes 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 and 5 , than the Journal 1 and will undertake to prove it , : . , not Tribune . . by a canvass by a :1 : I ' employee , but by permitting any advertiser to inspect our list at \ . any time and at any place the I Journal will agree to have its j lists for a like inspection. The Tribune is but little more than a year old , yet it has a bona fide circulation of more than 1200 copies. There is not a subscriber on our list who has asked to have his paper discontinued and had the reply made to him "we are going to send it a year for noth- ing. " The Journal cannot truth- fully say the same. There is not a post office in this county where The Tribune ' , , circulates , that has had to 1" . } notify The . Tribune the second time that a subscriber would not receive his paper , and I finally despairing of getting the editors to stop the paper throws several copies in the waste basket . . ' / t . each week. The Journal cannot truthfully say the same. Our subscription list is not composed of such material. Now is the time to subscribe . Roosevelt Club Will Meet The Roosevelt republican club of Falls City will meet in the court house Wednesday evening , May 17th , at 8 o'clock , for the purpose of making arrangements for the congressional convention to be held in this city on June 1 , 1905. 1905.AIl AIl citizens regardless of poli- tics ire most earnestly invited to be prGsent.

J An Unfortunate Mlsh\ke. In our last issue we related the fact of a criminal cac having been brought against a promi- nent Rule citizen , and in the account we stated that the charge was preferred by a gentleman named McClel1an. : ' 1 ' llis is an error which we sincerely regret. , The charge was in fact preferred I by one Charles Mcl\lahan : for assaulting it young woman whose , name is Flora 1\k1\'lahan. ' Time I mistake was occasioned because of the fact that the case was filed so near the hour of going to press that we were unable to look at the papers , but received our information in a conversation with one in authority and misunderstood - understood the name. The Tribune regrets the matter keenly , and hastens to put the ' matter right. Baro..da Troubles The village of Barada has had all kinds of trouble lately. The newly elected town board did not meet and organize as required by law. The old board failed to canvass the votes of the last municipal - . nicipal election and it began to I : look as though time village was to have no government. Time old board met for this purpose a few I evenings ago and proceeded to canvass the votes by opening the ballot box. They found all the ballots invalid because the judges of election did not sign their names on the back. This made it necessary for the old board to hold over. To cap the climax the village got into a saloon fight which terminated in a law suit lasting all day Wednesday and until midnight Wednesday night. A saloon license was granted to Mat Schulenberg uy a vote of 3 to 2. The Embo..nkment. The case of Brinegar vs. Copass relative to the right of a property owner to embank his land against flood water from the Nemaha , was tried before Judge Kelligar Tuesday. The court held that no such right existed and decided in favor of the plain- tiff and issued an injunction restraining the defendant from building the embankment. The case was immediately taken to the supreme court. Schiller Enterfo..inment. Time anniversary of the death of the German poet Schiller was observed by the Germans of this city at their hall on Wednesday . , evenmg. , ; , , - . . I One hundred year ago their great German poet died. A pro- gram consisting of the history of Schellers life , songs , recitations , reading was enjoyed by a very large crowd. The tomimny spent the remainer of the evening in dancing and at a late hour they 4 departed for their several homes.
