Parade at Humboldt.
The flower parade at Hum
boldt on last Saturday is said tt
have been one of the finest spec
tacles ever witnessed in thi
section of the state. It was in
tended to hold the parade in con
nection with the recent carnival
but bad weather prevented am
it was held on last Saturday
Fourteen flower decorated rig :
paraded the streets , headed b :
the band , and the manner ii
which each rig was decorate )
with flowers was highly artisti
and pleasing to the eye.
Mrs. Cooper Very 111.
Mrs. O. A. Cooper of Ilumboldt
who was seriously burned by gas
oline a f > w weeks ago is reported
is being in a critical condition ,
Complications have set in , and
) hysicians from St. Joseph have
> een called in consultation. Mrs.
Cooper is well known in this
city and has many friends who
lope for her ultimate recovery.
Fight at Humboldt.
Jack and Phil Hinklc of Stella
vent to Ilumboldt to see the
lower parade and that evening
vent into Jim Davis1 saloon
vhere they ran onto Pearl Park
er , a Ilumboldt athlete and all-
round fighter. Trouble ensued
and when peace was restored , it
vas found that Jack Hinkle had
lis nose broken and was Ixully
cut about the face. 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 Methodist ministers who
are veterans have an organiza
tion known as the Conference G.
A. R. , and meetings are held
each year in connection with the
regular conference. Such a

of the Relief Corp ? served one o
of their notable suppers aftei
which Rev. Comrade Roberts
sounded the assembly call t <
which all responded. Commande :
Johnson presided and called fo
speeches and songs and then
were plenty of responses am
these veterans in the army o
their country as well as in th )
army of the Lord , spent the even
ing in the most pleasant inanne :
and their pleasure was shared bj
the local veterans and thei
wives. A special feature was ai

Si Plunkard.
The time tested comedy , Si

: apable performers. The band
which was very good played two
open air concerts.

at the last meeting of the L. B.

ure for all.

not be learned , was struck by a

was walking along the track and
failed to get off in time to avoid
being struck by the rapidly mov
ing train. lie was brought to
the station where his injuries
were dressed by Dr. Burchard ,
the company surgeon. These
injuries consisted of a fractured
arm and a few minor bruises.
How he escaped death is a mir
acle. He stated that he was
tramping from Kansas City to
Omaha.
Republican Caucus.
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. Graham and Ton
Whitaker to act as tellers. The
call was read and E. S. Towh
placed John Ili.iton in nominatioi
for supervisor. The nominatioi
was made by acclamation am
Mr. Ilinton thanked the conven
tion in a brief speech.
C. F. Reavis placed John L

nomination for justices of tin
peace. The nominations wert
made by acclamatian and both

convention. Frank Camblin am
James Nausler , the present con
stables were placed in nomina

Cleaver. These nomination !
were also made by acclamatioi
and the candidates accepted am
expressed their thanks. A com
mittee was appointed to fill va
cancies and then the caucus ad
journed. It was as harmoniou
a little gathering as one couli
wish to see and the ticket is on )
that is sure to be elected.
Commercial Club Meeting.
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 § 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.
