Every creature ever created
was born under sentence of death.
Other tilings may or may not
transpire , but this sentence is
sure of execution.
If you are not a subscriber to
iliis newspaper we would be glad
to have you become so. A dollar
lar puts your name to the good
until January 1st , 1907.
'Phc supreme court made short
work of the Tucker jury law.
The case was submitted at eleven
o'clock a. in. , and the law found
unconstitutional before the noon
adjournment.
The merchant who tells yon
what he has for sale and publicly
announces what he is asking for
is the merchant you can trust.
No man makes public those
things of which he is ashamed.
Congressman Pollard has his
hands full of postoflice lights.
Shubcrt has a hot one on hand
and Verdon is brewing one. Pat
ronage is the curse of a congress
man , and a strong man is requir
ed to properly use it.
The heads of several threat
railroad systems constituting an
advisory board have solemnly
declared that the President's
railroad rate policy is antagonis
tic to the best interests of tin-
people. Sad isn't it ,
1'Jvery true republican seems
agreed on the proposition that
the only thiiur to be done is to
remain true to the faith , to nom
inate1 the best material in the
party and to trust to the good
judgment of the voters for suc
cess. It is better to suffer a
thousand defeats than to run
away from the battle. It is
greater to deserve success than to
attain it.
Among the many resolutions
every man makes the 1st of Jan
uary is that of living more eco
nomically the next year. It is
sometimes hard to convince seme
people that a dollar saved is as
good as a dollar earned , If you
are one of the wise men who ap
preciate this fact , we beg leave to
call to your attention the claims
of The Tribune as the newspaper
that prints all the news for a
dollar a year.
Falls City has considered its
own interest in the solution ol
the telephone muddle. Tin
writer has talked with many ol
the subscribers to the mutual
companies and with one accord
they have declared their inten
tion of showing their apprecia
tion of the consideration given
them by making Falls City theii
trade headquarters. This is as
it should be and The Tribune is
very proud of the part it ha ;
played in the creation of a bettei
feeling between the local mer
chant and his natural customer
Have you been doing goo <
work this year without propc
appreciation ? Don't be discour
aged , the public will find you ou

n't , the satisfaction of a dut ]

will be discovered however , don'
worry. This is the age of th

him and seeks him assiduously

There was something appealing"
Iv pathetic about the Thanksgiv
ing exorcises in the primary room
of the schools last week. Each
little chap had a piece to speak ,
and each piece told of the turkeys
pics , cakes and other good things
bout thanksgiving that arc so
ttractive to a child. Judging
rom appearances it is reason-
bly certain that many of the
ttlc speakers were telling of
oed things that they were note
o enjoy. That as they stood be-
ore the school telling of the
.Treat smoking turkey and the
ttmpkin pic , their minds were
till of the sorrowful thought
hat thanks giving might mean
hat to some of their school
lates but it had never meant that
o them. Poverty is not a crime
> ut it has made sad the hearts of
lany children and denied them
. .oniiof those things which go to
lake childhood glorious.
A Strong Display.
One of the strongest news-
) aper display advertisements
hat has come to our notice re-
cntly is that inserted by the
'liamhcrlain Furniture Co. It
s a 1-1 inch double column , di-
, rided into live panels , on each
ne of which appears in display
ype an announcement of some
xlensively advertised commod-
ty such as Globe-Wernicke
ookcases , McDougall kitchen
abinet and Karpen leather fur-
iture , for which this linn has
ole agency. With such a select
rray of advertised goods , it is
o wonder that Oincinnatti peo.

verything worth having in the
nrniture line is to be found at
he Chamberlain corner. Gin-
linnatli Daily Doings.
This ad must have been the
ounterpart of the ad of Keavis
t Abbey that appears on page
even of this weeks issue of The
Tribune. This ( inn likewise
las the sole agency for these
.roods which are generally rec.
jgni/.ed as .standing in a class

Judge Coiioe Under Arrest.
Judge P. Cohoe or "Jay" Co-
lee , as he is commonly called ,
, vas arrested on Tuesday charged
, vith the grand larceny of 62.00C
K'longiug to Joe Albrecht , whc
s in the insame asylum.
As stated in this paper early in
Oct. , he found some buried mon
ey in the cellar ( so he called ) ol
he Albrecht house , in .vliich he
tfas residing. He saw R. C
3oyd of the Carson bank , who is
n charge of Albrccht's affair.and
o him Cohoe stated that his con
science was troubling him ; he
couldn't sleep nights and was
generally broken up , so though !
best to tell him he had found S80C
n the cellar of his house. Latci
le stated he had found $845 ,
Shortly after this Young , the
shoe man , brought a 20 dollar
) ill to the bank to see if it was
good. lie was told it was all o 1
but had been buried , and on be
ng asked as to who had givoi
it to him , stated that it was
oboe.
This brought matters to a heac
and a triangular meeting was
held in Judge McCarty's office be
twcen the Judge. Mr. Boyd ant
Cohoe. Cohoe claimed that IK
had consulted attorneys win
cautioned him to hold on to tin
money until a suitable awan
would be fixed for his turning i
over.
over.He
He also stated that the amoun
was $850. The judge told hiti
that it was useless for him to b
hired or bribed to give ii ]
the money and quietly sent t\i \
sheriff for Mrs. Cohoe.
On her arrival and beitij
questioned she stated that tin
amount found was $1800. Coho
stated that this was right and ot
being accompanied by the sheril
turned over to him that amoun
in an oyster can , which gav <
evidence of having been buried
This Deemed to settle the matte
and for a week or so all wa
quiet as Cohoe had promised t
turn over any future finds. Bu
again came that troublesome cor
science and with it tame Mr.
Cohoe again to the bank.
It was simply heartrending this
time. He had found more mon
ey , he said in a bottle ; gold , he
hud felt the need of a drink , he
had also taken it , he also took
others ; then he went into a
rather dnzcd condition , or trance.
Shortly after he found himself
at the depot ; again a hiatus of
mi'inory ; then he discovered him
self in a poker game at Nebraska
City with a policeman looking at
him ; the policeman was holding
a dog ; Cohoe wanted it ; police
man sold it and Cohoe gave him
a $20 gold piece. Again a lapse
of memory ; Cohoe on his return
to things mundane found himself
looking at the Douglas county
court house in Omaha. He at
once returned to Auburn and had
come forthwith to Mr. Boyd
with the $145 in gold which re
mained from his trance.
From all the sights , moans
nd self reproaches of the man ,
Ir. Boyd drew his own conclu-
ions ; and an investigation be-
ig quietly set on foot developed
he fact that .Cohoe did really
isit the places indicated in his
tory.
Further investigation dcveiop-
d the finding of some of Al-
rccht's papers buried in a wood
bed , in which he keeps a memo
f three separate amounts hidden
loney. vix $1,800 which Cohoe
ound and turned over ; $1,000 in
; o\i\ \ \ which he admits to have
bund later and of which he
laims to have spent all but the
145 turned over to Mr. Boyd ;
nd $1,000 in currency which he
laims to have no knowledge of
vhatever.
Persons with whom he came in
ontact during his scries of traces
tate that he was in possession
if a large roll of bills. His ar-
est is for the purpose of detenu-
ning how much money he has
actually found , to punish him foi
ts appropriation for his own usi
ind to rescue what remains oi
lis later discoveries. He was
) laced under $2,000 which IK
ailed to give.
All the circumstances beiiu
alcen in consideration and hi ;
icculiar actions , his conllictin .
statements and his being inlluen
: cd by what he terms 'conscience
votild tend to indicate that all islet
lot exactly right with Mr-Cohoe !
