FULL INVESTIGATION IS INVITED Now And Then. The Omnha stub is doing the larger volutnn of business in the number of passengers , but the 'Kansas ' City stub is doing more i in money. A great many pass- jengers desiring to take the Cen tral branch out of Atchison take the morning stub because of the close connections. Last Friday evening the Omaha train brought fifty three passengers to Falls City. The teachers institute here on Saturday was in part respon sible for the heavy travel. A reporter had a talk with one of the officials lately and learned from him that the road is greatly pleased with the reception Falls City has given these trains and with the results so far obtained. He stated that it was a matter of regret that the charge had not been made years ago. * * * Falls City is always delighted to entertain the teachers insti tutes. The only trouble about it is that they don't come often enough. The young man about town looks forward to the time when the town is full of pretty girls out for a holiday , and the old man looks at the fresh , pretty faces of these young women and bemoans the passing years. Cupid always has a reserved scat at a teachers institute and finds no more profitable opportunity to dispose of his wares. The sports have been having the time of their lives during the past two weeks with the festive and elusive duck. Several of the boys have made big killings and wild duck and currant jelly have constituted the prevailing game course on many local tables. If it were not for the regret occa sioned by the killing of one of Gods creatures , duck shooting would be the ideal sport. To sit crouching in the blind with the keen March wind whipping the blood to your face ; to see far off against the horizon the black spots of an approaching flock ; to hesitate for the moment in doubt as to whether they are approch- ingor flying the other way ; to feel the keen sence of an exhilir- ating excitement when you learn they are coining your way ; to hear the whistle of their wings in the wind and to see the leader along the sight of your gun as he struggles in his fright to escape you ; to see him pause for an in stant at the report of your gun and then fall with a thump to the frozen ground. It would be great if one could enjo3r it with out the regret occasioned by the taking of a life. However , it is a sport that laeves a good taste in ones mouth , and makes the blood go bounding through your body , and creates an industry among the stale and indolent runciions of your stomach until your appetite- a surprise and your supper a great and enduring delight. The Grand opera season in Kansas City which is limited to two performances is attracting no little interest in Falls City. The opportunity of hearing Martha with Sembrich , Homer , Caruso and Plancon in the cast is one that is seldom given to western music lovers. The probabilities- are that a large crowd will go from here April 12th to have one day of .supreme pleasure. There is some talk of trying to get the night Missouri Pacific held until after the performance so that the trip may be made in one day- Sometime before the event The Tribune would like to have the names of all who expect to at tend in order that the request may be scut to railroad headquarters in time to secure the holding of i he tr.iin if possible. * * * The writer spent last week in Auburn and took advantage of . ( .e opportunity of inquiring into the causes for the present pros perous condition of that com munity. The fight between the 'wo towns s a factor in it in this \ . f north Auburn puts up a church south Auburn follows suit. If south Auburn gets a large department store the north town docs the same. This keeps things moving and furnishes em ployment for the laboring class. The monied men of Auburn are not afraid to invest in their home city. They organize companies for newspapers , department stores and canning factoric8. They contribute thousands of dollars to contract level and en during roads over the valley of the river. They at all times meet the farming community half way and do everything in their power to make their trade wel come. The merchants take a full page and some times two pages of advertising space in their newspapers. In other words there is something doing in Au burn because the business inter est keep something doing. No town will make itself , its people must make it. The best business principle is the general good. That community which is in fested with selfish business miMi who have never learned that they will receive their full share of every public advancement is al ways a stagnant community. No city will grow as the result of the influence of that business man who wants something for nothing and whose whole zeal is expended in his own interest without regard to the progress or the future of the city. i- : * * The local papers gave the bene fit of their circulations last week to the distribution of a supple ment antagonistic to the catalogue houses and every one of them suffered a positive loss in so doing. The advertisements that would have otherwise been in the news paper and gone towards paying the expenses of the poor printer , were in the supplement and were paid to the man who got out the supplement. Still not a news paper declined to issue the sup plement for that reason. It tended to build up the city and to assist in the destruction of the menancing thing to country tradesmenDo the merchants of Falls City really appreciate what an advantage a local ncws- paoer is to them ? Every man who reads a Falls City paper be comes imbued with the Falls City spirit lie gets into the at mosphere of our hopes and de sires and makes them his hopes and desires. He is pleased when something is accomplished look ing for our betterment , and is dissapomted with us when things are not as we with. The more people that take a Falls City paper the better it is for Falls City. Yet last week the Auburn and Hiawatha papers contained columns of advertising where the local papers had inches. There may be some satisfaction in the occupation of the good Samaritan but there is a good deal of worry and anxiety in printing a paper at a positive loss in order that men may prosper who , to say the least , are somewhat uuapprecia- tive. < i If the old saying that a wet March means a di'3' 3fear is true , we can look for a short crop this year. So far March has had an unusual amount of moisture and the ground is in excellent condi tion for spring plowing- The wheat over the country is re markable and the conditions are pregnant with promise.

I Buy Good Cattle for Breeding Purposes. One of the greatest obstacles in the way of improvement in breeding cattle is the disposition of breeding cattle is the disposi tion of breeders to narrow the field from which they must select and doing so in various and what have always seemed ridiculous ways. Many of the best cattle in England - gland cannot be used for the pur pose of grading up our herds , be cause they are not eligible to record in the United States , but are recorded in what is known as the Coates herd book. The Short-horn association at its last meeting took some measures to partially remove this dis-ability ( and have thus broadened the field of selection ) , and in time it will no doubt be removed alto gether. This action of the assoc- iaton will give importers a wider range of selection than they have had before. If they will of them selves remove out of the way certain barriers which limit the choice in selection very much will bo done to improve the breeding of Short-horn cattle. Our old breeders will remember the blot put upon some of the earliest importations for no other admitted reason than that they weriL not recorded in any herd book in the old country , the rea son for this being that they were imported before any herd books were established. Our older readers will also remember the hue and cry that was raised about unfashionable pedigrees. There was reason in some of this because the individuals were not always the best , but vhcre was no sense whatever in splitting hairs on pedigrees where the animals carried their pedigrees on their backs. Then the Short-horn breeders were afflicted with the color craze and were determined to limit their selections to those animals that wore red hair , barring out com- plctely the whites , looking ask ance at the roans , and the red and whites. Fortunately , we arc outgrowing all this , and we hope the time will come when men who wish to buy first-class bulls will not stop to think what color of hair the animal sports , provided only the color is typical of the breed red , white or any combination thereof. Those of our readers who have been watch ing our reports of stock shows will note the frequency with which the once despised whites are earning off high ribbons , a remarkable thing , considering their numbers. They will also note that no small portion of the prizes are carried off by roans. It is unfortunate for the Short horn breed of cattle that there is such a wide variation in color , but these colors have been with the breed from the beginning , and there should be no discrimi nation in favor of one or another. Jet us broaden in even- way possible the field from which men who wish good cattle can select the very best- Get good animals first. The first-class animal will usually be found to have a good pudigiuc , while iii.my with fithl- class pedigrees are not always first-class animals. Get both , and in getting give full weight to the breeding , then feed in ac cordance with the breeding , cull closely and you will have good cattle. You can't help it- Press Notes.

Bob Rule and George Holt of Falls City , joined a wolf hunting party here Monday , composed of Captain Jennings , C. S. and C. J. Wood , Dr. Calvart , Ralph Tillos- ton and others. The boys got back alive and so did the wolves so far as the men were concerned for they didn't see a wolf Table Rock Argus. Sheriff Fen ton and Chief of Police Aldrich of Falls City , were in town a couple of days the last of the week , and while here took occassion to do some prospecting in the hills west of town. Mr. Aldrich is an enthusiastic mem ber of the mining company re cently formed at Falls City and he is of the opinion that if coal and other minerals abound in one section of the county it is quite . probable they would be found in other parts. We did not learn the result of their investigations here. Dawson Newsboy. The following is accredited to the late Senator Hoar : At a Fourth of July celebration in a Canadian town where both En glish and American guests were assembled the Hags of the two countries were used in decora . tions. A frivolous young Eng lish girl , loyal to the queen , but with no love for the Stars and Stripes , exclaimed : "Oh , what a silly looking thing the Amer ican . Hag is ! It suggests noth ing but checkerberry candy. " "Yes , " replied Senator Hoar , "the kind of candy that has made everybody sick who ever tried to lick it. " Cows or Hens ? A question as to which yield ed the best profit , cows or chick ens , was recently agitated at a fanners' institute , where the statement was made that fifty liens would yield the same're turns as two cows. We notice in the Maine Parmeran account , kept by a factory hand with one Jersey-Holsteincow and twenty- five While Wynndotte pullets. The account covers a year. The cow was fresh when purchased , but at the end of the year was not ayain with calf. Her feed bill was $92.80. Too high says the editor of the farmer. Amount invested , $50 ; income , SlM.-lf ) . The ieed bill for the hens was $2-1.-10 ; receipts from cgffsaml poultry$102.01 ; amount invested , $20. But thirty-three young chickens were raised , ac u-irding" to this account. The eggs wi-resold at prices ranging' from 1H to 00 cents per dozen. You ma } ' say these figures are too high , but figure it out for yourself. If twenty-live hens will lay 128 eg'gs each , and among them raise thirty-three chickens during the year , what would their income be in your own market , and how will it compare with the income of a cow which will yield 302 pounds of butter in a year ?
