Phil Hinkle lad a cut over one eye and a lumber of minor bruises , Parker nerely sustained a dislocated humb. All three were arrested nnd fined. Holt's Ribbons. The display of ribbons in the lispla } ' window of Geo. Holt's shoe store , does not indicate that Mr. Holt has added a ribbon de- > artment to his store. These ribbons represent premiums iwarded to Will Holt at the Ne- jra ka , Kansas , Missouri and towa state fairs on the fine hogs which he exhibited. The ribbons ire of all sizes , colors and shapes ind represent everything from a sweepstake to a fourth premiums. The hundreds of people who lave looked at these ribbons have ndmired them and rejoiced in the fact that a Falls City breeder was able to win them. But very few have reckoned the cost. They cost much time and labor , much skill and good judgment , much knowledge of breeding and feeding and they also cost much money. Mr. Holt is to be con gratulated on the showing he lias made , and these ribbons are splendid evidence of his ability as a breeder. The Conference Veterans.

The republicans of the thret wards of Falls City met at tin court house Monday evening foi the purpose of selecting candi dates for supervisor , justice ol the peace and constables. Then was a very fair attendance am' the meeting was called to ordei by John Wiltse. W. E. Dorring ton was made chairman and Join Wiltse secretary. The chair ap pointed A.

The first meeting of the com- nercial club was held in the court house Monday evening vith a large cr $ .vd in attend- mice. The lirtf busine.-s was he UQelectionf ( If new officers. George Hall was elected Presi- lent , L. toirtli , Vice President , V. A. Greenwald Treasurer , 0. O. Davis Secretary , and A. Graham , P. S. Heacock and V. G. Lylord were elected as the board of directors. W. A. Greenwald made his report as Treasurer showing $110.18 in he general fund and $115.50 in lie road fund. It was consider , d advisable to send a repre- entative to attend the state neeting of commercial clubs to be held in Omaha and Mr. Greenwald was elected as such epresentative. E. H. Towle as lie chairman of the committee hat went to Kansas City to confer with the Missouri Pacific officials with relation to secur- ng the stub trains made his re. iort , which was to the effect hat the trains could be secured by taking the matter up with the officials in St. Louis. Mr. fowle further reported a con versation had with Mr. Kussel of the Missouri Pacific relating to the division , llussel stated hat the division was to be re noved from Atchison and that vhile he personally favored Falls City , the chief engineer avored rftraussville. Theposi- ion taken by the engineer is that the track from Omaha to Straussville is practically level i ml that large trains could be un over that division with one engine ; the division from Straussville to Kansas City was lilly and smaller trains would lave to be run over that end of the line. If the division was ocated at Falls City , the trains would have to be cut in two at Straussville to get over the [ reeling hill and this would create a large expense. A com nittee composed of Frank Rea vis , W. S. Lcyda , E. II. Towle ind J. H. Miles was appointed ; o go to St. Louis and confer with the officials concerning the matter. The only thing that stands in the way of Falls City getting the division is the Free- ling hill. If a new route can be discovered whereby the hi 11 can be avoided or the grade cut down our chances arc excellent. The telephone question was debated by the members of the club , John \V. Powell spoke as a member of the council and 0. F. Reavis made a somewhat ex tended speech in the interest ol of the rural companies. The motion was finally passed to in vi.te all rural companies togeth er with the local company am the city council to attend tlu meeting tobe held the evening of the second Monday in Octo ber , at which time the situatioi will be fully discussed. A committee composed of Nee Towle , Tom Whittaker and L Wirth was formed to wait on tin merchants and requested them to sell only Falls City cigars Club then adjourned. The Missouri Pacific divisior would mean 1500 new people foi Falls City and a monthly pay rol of ยง 25,000. Let's go after it am stay after it until we get it. The commercial club has dom the right thing by inviting all o the telephone companies to ap pear before them on the evenitu of the second Monday in Octobe and state their claims , Tlu telephone situation is serious am should receive careful considera tion.
