Will it sup port it' ' Judging from itb past actions , we are in doubt. The Journal declared for the republi can ticket in the late county contest - test yet who will be so bold as to say that it supported the repub lican nominees ? Let its present actions be the judge. We see a representative of that paper daily t haunting the court house and making demands of democratic officials with a perfect assurance of the justness of its clainvj. From these actions there is no doubt that the Journal feels fully assured that its treachery to the republican party is responsible for the cleaning of the augean stables , and it is not a bit back ward in levying tribute for that treachery. So persistent are the demands of that paper that it is placing some of the officials in an embarassing position. There is little difference from a moral point of view what the considera tion may be in return for political support from the opposition. In any form that you put it. it is a bribe. This fact should be firmly impressed upon those who feel under obligations for the assist- 4 ance received from the enemy. Their sense of right should be so great and fealty to party 'o strong that recognition of such ( treachery would be regarded as ft crime. Again we ask , will the Journal support the citizens's x ticket ? If it does it is easy to divine the incentive , which is summed up in five letters graft.

Rumor has it , and pretty well defined rumor at that , that the Clipper Copper mine which H so largely owned and con trolled by Falls City people is about to be sold to the Amal gamated Copper for ten million dollars.

After business rou tinedancing completed the even ing's pleasures The Situation. Some of Leyda's friends are trying to make the voters be lieve that Prof. Barrett hasen't the ability to be mayor of Falls City. Now in answer to this 1 would suggest that our fricjul Leyda appoiilt n " committee 'to investigate what the professor has accomplished from a busi ness stand point since he has been in our city , and compare it to the business ability he has displayed , and if this committee don't find the results in favor of Prof. Barrett , i will gladly vote the citizens ticket , and will cheerfully do everything in my power to extend to our present Mayor the title. "Czar" and let him hold the office indefinitely , and then he will not be com pelled to bob up every year for re election , as this is the sixth time he has had to undergo this ordeal. If to be Mayor issuch a yrand thing , clothed with -o much honor , don't you think he has been blessed enough , while on the other hand , if it is such a terrible bad thing , don't you think this distinguished citizen has been tortured long enough -A Voter.

I take this method of answer- ome of the rumors .thai are illoat concerning my candidacy or mayor of this city.

Since the discovery of lead and coal near Falls Oily a new company has been formed. The labor performed by those gen tlemen who last October began the devclopemeiit of this field , and the success obtained by them as a result of their in- 'estments in sinkingshafts and exploring the mineral possibili- ies of the field has encouraged other , and as a result a new company , entirely sepcrate and listinct from the company vhich has sunk the shaft and opened a mine , has bcenforncd. rhe new company we under stand has secured some leases rein the neighboring farmers ind , while nothing in the way. of prospecting ordevelopemcnt. las been done , the field is so ) remising and the ability of ; hose who form the company is of such high character , that a company known as The Nemaha Valley Coal And Lead Company las been incorporated with a capital stockof $1,000 and is low selling stock in the market. We copy the following from the ) rospectus. "Tho following named gentlc- ncn who so far have been ictivly engaged in directingaf- rairs ol the company are not nillionares or professional pro- noters , but reliable business men and professional men. Mr. D P. Brannin is one of the lead ing merchants and property owners of Falls City. Judge Francis Martin stands at the head of his profession as one of the leaders of the bar of Ne braska , his place of residence being Palls City. Mr. Thomas Martin , a son of Judge Martin , a man of considerable import ance in the community in which he lives , has been for , a number of years actively engaged in various mining enterprises in Colorado and other mining states , and the company feels fortunate of his experience and advice. " In this day of graft and mis representation , it is refreshing to read a mining prospectus that has so little of either. While Mr. Thomas is not very well known as a mining expert by the people of this community , there are gentlemen connected with the eompany whose mining experience is well , understood by our people. The Tribune wishes the company all tlie suc cess it deserves. Drainage District Supervisors. An election was held here last Saturday by the land-owners of drainage district numbt-r one which comprises about 20,01)0 ) acres in the Nemaha valley , The following were chosen the board of supervisors : James Mooney of Rule ; G.

The meeting was , well attended and was culled to. order by Charlo.s Loree , cU-rlc of the court , and was presided over by E. S. Towle as chairman and A. R Koim as secret try. ' A motion was adopted direct ing the board to push thr voile to a conclusion at the ear U't > t possible date. Second Amputation.
