Vo1.II. 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
.

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
.

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.
