The farmers institute held hist
week was a success in ever } ' way.
The men listened and learned ,
the ladies visited and rested and
every body had not only a good
but a profitable time as well.
Falls City is always glad to en
tertain these institute's and to do
all in its power ( o assist in mak
ing the meetings a SUCCORS.
As usual the Tribune is the
only local paper that dared to fix
the responsibility for the bridge
accident and the consilient ex
pense to the tax pavers of the
county. The truth as we told it
will not give uscry much pat
ronage from those negligence we
have published , but the facts
should be the property of all the
citixens of the county and for
this reason they were published.
If the county board will always
be as careful in the selection of a
jury as it was in selecting the
present one , there will be no cry
ing need for amendments to the
jury law. The litigants at the
present term of court may in
some instances feel aggrieved
over the result of their cases , but
without exception the verdicts
have been the results of careful
and conscientious efforts on the
part of the jurors to do justice
between the parties.
The statement is often made
that farmers receive large returns
for their labor ; the truth of the
matter is that a farmer next to
the newspaper man has less to
show for his labor at the end of
the year than men in other
avenues of endeavor. That
farmer who nets $ f > 0 ( ) a year is
the exception and for such pro
fit he labors during about half of
the year from 14 to 16 hours a
day , lives economically and takes
very few vacations. The farmers
life is healthful , moral and inde
pendent , but it lacks a good deal
of being all fun.
A rape case was tried in the
district court last week and the
crowd which filled the court room
and packed the hall during every
minute of ihe case was a reflec
tion on the decency of Kails City-
All day long on the front seat
sat several old gentlemen , every
one of whom has grandchildren ,
many of whom have young
daughters , listening eargerly tea
a young woman recite in detail
the story of her shame. We
would like to publish the names
of these old sinners who have
not been in the court room before
for years , an ; ! who will probably
not grace the judicial proceedings
of this county with their presence
again until some other young
girl has been soiled and the pro
cess of the criminal court requires
a public statement from her as to
the wrong.
One is always pleased to know
a man whom everbody likes and
respects , Some men have been
blessed by the Creator with .1
personality that endears itself tc
all. The dinner given Mark
Twain in New York the othei
night and which was attended b
nearly all of the leading light ;
in the world of literature as
sembled to celebrate the seven
tieth birthday of the distinguish
ed guest , made public the fac
that with Mark Twain the eli
saying "To know him was t
love him , " is true. What
happy old world this must be t
the man who is pleased wit I
everybody and with whom evei
body is pleased. To see non
but welcome faces , to hear notl
ing but kind and pleasant words
to live the life of mans brothe
hood comes as near to success t
the mnst fortunate individual lu
any right to expect.

The Journal for some reason or
other is displeased with G. J. !
Crook. Do you know anyone
the Journal is not displeased
with ?
If you know of a news items
call us up and tell us about it.
The Tribune is always glad to
receive matters of local or gener
al interest and will be your debt
or for such assistance. No news
paper can publish all of the news
we want to come as near to
it as the circumstances
will permit and a suggestion from
you will aid us greatly in our
desire.
The statement is made in last
week's Journal that someone who
is a Missouri Pacific attorney
tried to stampede the Richardson
county delegation to Judge Duffce
at the last state convention. In
as much as Frank Rcavis was the
only Missouri Pacific attorney on
the delegation it is thought that
he is the one meant by the Jour
nal. It is hardly necessary to
Bay that the assertion is a lie ,
hat will be generally known
vheu the authorship is stated ,
f any one believes that Reavis
ver faltered in his loyalty to
vyford for regent or Letton for
udge , ask Geo. W. Holland , Earl
icmmon , V. G. Lyford or any
ther reputable man on the dele
gation. If the Journal must lie ,
t should be more .careful in its
hoicc of a subject and select one
ibout "which nothing is known.
Notwithstanding the factional
lifferences in the republican
larty , and the intense desire of
ertain elements to discredit the
efforts of the true republicans ,
Richardson county has fared
> retty well of late years We
lave several employees in the
state house , Fred Miller is deputy
Secretary of State. V. G. Ly
ford is Regent and The Tribune
would like to see another promi-
icnt Falls City republican given
a state office if he can be prevail
ed upon to accept. For a good
many years this county was a
non-entity in republican state
politics , and before criticising
those whose efforts have contrib
uted largely to its present posi
tion'it might pc well to calmly
deal in a little retrospect and as
certain if we haven't done farly
well.
The present sentiment declar
ing as it does for Mortensen foi
governor and Brown for senator
is a healthy sentiment at least ,
It may not mean the selection ol
cither of these gentlemen , wheth
er this be correct or otherwise , i
indicates a demand on the par
of the rank and file of the part } >
for men of known ability am
demonstrated integrity. Time
was that the sole question of fit
it ness was resolved in the intcrro '
d gatory , what does Mr. Holdreg
0 think of it ? That time has gen
a by The question now is , wha
jj are his qualifications ? The sup >
r- port of railroad influence will no
ie make Mortensen or Brown. It i
H nearer the truth to say that i
' made , their making will be b <
*
cause they could not be control ,
ilo
as ed by railroad influence again 9 ;
the interest of the people.
Our Problem Contest.
In last week's issue we sub
mitted to the chonl boys of the
county the following problem :
"A farmer has a twelve gallon
pail of milk , a little girl calls
with a live gallon pail and asks
for live gallons of milk ; at the
same time another little girl
comes with a three gallon pail
and wants but one gallon of
milk. How is the fanner to
measure the one gallon with the
three pails1' There were thirty-
eight correct answers to this on
lile Monday morning , and they
have been coming in a steady
stream ever since. The first
correct answer was sent in by
Jerome A. \ \ illse , the twelve-
year-old son of Charles Wiltse ,
who is attending school in Falls
City. N. B. L. Schaetter , a
twelve-year-old boy in Rule
who can write a very neat and
entertaining letter as well as
work problems , was the second.
Charlie Meisner of Falls City
was third and Etnett Prater was
fourth. Several answers were
received from the old boys , the
one sent in by George Smith of
Dawson had so many ways of
answering the problem that the
inventor gave up in despair
when he saw how easy it was.
Jerome A. Wiltse stands cred
ited a year in advance on our
books for being first. The great
interest shown by the children
in this contest and the pleasure
we have derived from the letters
we have received from them has
prompted us to promise another
contest in the near future for
which we will offer two prizes
the first prixe to be a dollar and
the second to be announced at
the time the problem is submit
ted. All the school boys and
girls aie eligible and in order
that our out of town readers
may have a chance we will give
them twelve hours after the'
first local answer is received.
The contest will be given in a
short time. Watch for it.
Telephone Talk.
A somewhat heated session of
telephone interests was brought
before the city council Monday
night.
As is Well known there has
been an effort on the part of the
mutual lines to get a connection
with this city which fiual cuhni
nated in a proposition from the
local company to grant them free
exchange. In discussing the
matter Monday evening by in
terested parties from both sides ,
it developed that themutuals had
f so tied themselves up with other
points that they could not accept
t free exchange here without ask
t ing the same privilege for all
' connecting lines. This was turn-
rt'cddown ' by the localcompany
e and the problem is yet to be
" solved.

Dick Maloney is recovering
from what his physician calls ul
cerated teeth but which Dick is

been laid up at his rooms at the
National hotel for nearly a week.
It is sometimes a good thing to
have a long term of court and
clear up the litigation and let
the lawyers get a fresh start , but
just wait till the county pays the
bill. Justice is an expensive
guest and an extended visit from
her comes high.
W. A. Baldwin , corresponding
secretary of the Nebraska Chris
tian missionary society of Lin
coln , presented the work ot state
missions at the morning service
at the Christian church on last
Lord's dar and received an offer
ing for the support of state work.
There is a man in Palls City
who would not attend the Elk's
party because dancing and cards
were permitted and who reads
his bible in the hotel office as
publicl } ' as possible every even
ing. He sat on the front seat at
the court house during the whole
of the rape trial.
If you contemplate a trip to
Omaha or Kansas City in the
near future take the plug trains.
A good deal depends on how
Palls City receives the advances
that are being made by the Pa
cific. Let's show the road that
it pays to make Falls City a ter
minal , even for a plug train.
The Countess de Castellanc
( Anna Could ) will get precious
little sympath } ' in America in her
domestic troubles. She threw
down a square shouldered , moral
young American to get her title ,
and what if her sissy husband
docs spend his days ( and then
some ) with other women ? She
married the title and not the
thing that \vears it. We're not
going to shed any tears over it.

Plu Trains Secured.
Joe Varner lias been notified
by wire and by a personal talk
with Superintendent Russell
that the plug trains to Omaha
and Kansas City will start from
Falls City about February 15th.
The schedule is now being print
ed and there is no doubt that the
service will be installed. This
will mean that the people of
Falls City will be able to make
he trip to either Omaha or
Kansas City and return within
Mieday. The trains will leave
his city in the morning at
xbout eight o'clock , arriving at
heir destination at about eleven
n the morning. The return will
be about four o'clock and
ll arrive at this city about 8
> . m. Tlus service will not
only be a reat accommodation
, o the local traveling public
but will mean as well that four-
een families will make their
lomes here permanently. The
service will be continued if it
, ) ays and The Tribune sincerely
lopes that our people will use
these trains whenever practi
cable. Falls City is on the road
to bigger and better things.
The committee appointed by the
commercial club is responsible
for this service and a little co
operation on the part of our
people may and probably will
produce more substantial re-
ults than the plug trains. Let
everybody do his part and see
what happens.
The quantity of advertising
done by Falls City merchants
would not leave a very favorable
impression upon the stranger
reading a local paper. The news
papers have been doing and are
doing their part for Falls City
and its business enterprises. The
least that the merchant can do to
show his appreciation is to occa
sionally publish through the
columns ot the local papers the
fact that business is still being
transacted at his establishment
and that customers are A'elcome.
To The Public.
Effective next Sunday the Bur
lington will inaugurate a new
train from Kansas City to Billings
connecting there with the North
ern Pacific Railroad and estab
lishing two daily trains to the
northwest coast. This train will
be equipped with chair cars stan
dard and tourist sleepers and
diner. Bear in mind we arc giv
ing you the best service of any
line in the West.
