NOW AND THEN.
A local paper said last week
that the open season ou doves
ind arrived and the nimrods were
laving great sport in conse-
luencc. It is somewhat prcsump-
.ious for one to sit in judgment
on the acts ol others , but 1 have
icver been able to see the sport
n killing doves. The most gcn-
: le and harmless creature that
lies this side of the celestial
world is a dove. Through all
the ages the dove has been sym
bolic of all that is best in life.
When the Hood came and the
w o r 1 d was depopulated and
cleansed of all wickedness , the
first living creature to be re
leased into a perfect and sinless
world was a dove. Let me sug
gest to the local nimrod who is
so enjoying killing these beauti
ful creatures that he visit the
cemetery some evening about
dusk and sec the hundreds of
doves there congregated ; for it is
there in the pine trees that they
are most plentiful , and their soft ,
mournful cry coming through
the gathering night is one of the
most appropriate stage settings
imaginable. They are not timid
or afraid there for the dreadful
boom of the gun has never been
licard within the confines of the
city of the dead. It is neutral
ground and the doves seem to
know it. They will sit in ap
parent security just above your
head and look at you with their
tender eyes and mourn with you
in your loss and bereavement.
It is indeed a careless and hard
hearted man who can watch a
dove and his mate for an hour and
ever again feel that he wants tote
to kill , or consider it a great sport
hunt them to death. I have
shot at a great many of God's
creatures and have killed a few ,
but I am glad , now that I am
growing older , that I have never
killed a dove.

It will soon be time to sow al
falfa. Along about the last of
August or the first of September
plow your stubble ground , put
the seed bed in the best possible
shape and sow alfalfa. When it
gets a good start mow the weeds ,
for then the growing alfalfa will
smother them out. Next year
you will acknowledge your obli
gation to The Tribune for the
suggestion. There are farmers
in Richardson County who netted
$40 per acre on their alfalfa last
year. There are man } ' who will
do the same this year. Mack
Hoover south of Salem told the
writer the other day that if he
had put his whole farm in alfalfa
ten 3'ears ago his income would
have been trebled. He has
quite a patch of it now , lie sowed
more this spring and is going to
sow more this fall. Every farm
er who has raised alfalfa knows
it to be the greatest crop in the
world. Its feeding value is unsurpassed
surpassedIt is a balanced rat
ion. Stock will leave the finest
grain to eat it , and it will fatten
anything from a chicken to a
steer. Alfalfa hay is selling in
Kansas City today for $11.50 a
ton. As high as seven tons to
the acre have been harvested
right here in Richardson county.
Five tons to the acre is an ordi
nary crop. It will renew your
ground as well as clover and a
good stand will live many times
as long as clover. You are neg
lecting a great opportunity if you
have no alfalfa. The time is
coming when there will not be a
farm in Richardson County that
will grow the plant that has not
at least a few acres of it. The
sooner you get yours planted the
larger will be your bank account.

The rules which govern a cir
cus are very rigid and strictly
enforced. In talking to one of
the actors with the Sells Bros. ,
Forepaugh circus last week ) he
said : "Besides the two perform
ances a day there is always one
rehearsal. No lady under eigh
teen can become a member un
less married , accompanied by a
parent or guardian. No male
member can speak to a lady | during -
ing the circus hours unless she
s a relative. If this rule is vio-i
ated once a fine is imposed , for a
second offense the offender is dis-1
uisszd. No male member can
ippear on the streets with one of
the lady members unless she is a
relative , a violation of this rule
iicans a fine for the first offense
ind dismissal for the second ,
intoxication on the part of an
ictor means a summary dismissal ,
The actors are paid every Satur-
lay , some of them receiving as
ligh as $250 per week. The
Management encourages saving
imong its employees and on rc-
luest pays any portion of the
salary desired in bank drafts ,
the management paying all bank
charges. During the winter
season most of the actors appear
.n. ' vaudeville. The trapexetroup
with Sells Brothers is now
under contract with the New
York Ilipprodrome for next win-
: er. The salary of actors with
Sells Brothers is greater than
Ringling Brothers. Both shows
arc under the same management
but Kingling Brothers is travel
ing this year on its reputation.
Al. Ringling accompanies the
Sells Brothers show.

if
There is no more prosperous
class of people on earth , nor is
there a class anywhere that has
made money faster in the last
ten years than the Richardson
County farmer. On show day I
looked over the conveyances in
which the people came to town.
There were carriages and buggies
of the finest kind and without
number. G real splendidly
matched teams were hitched to
the majority of the vehicles ,
teams worth into the hundreds
of dollars. The ladies were
nearly all stylishly dressed , and
the clothing of the men spoke of
the ability to buy the good things
of life. The owner of every
Richardson County farm has
made from twenty to fifty dollar's
per acre on the increase in farm
values within the past' decade.
Crops have been splendid and
prices have been very high. It
is almost a daily thing to hear of
some farmer buying great quanti
ties of western land , and a trip
to the "old country" is not at all
extraordinary. Should conditions
continue as prosperous for the
next ten years as they have for
the past ten , there will not be a
careful fanner in the county who
is not independently rich. Falls
City is full of retired farmers
who have reached that condition
financially that permits them to
own a fine home , send their chil
dren to universities and spend
their years in ease. With the
great wheat crop raised this year
and the splendid corn prospects ,
the high price of hogs and other
farm products there should be a
great deal of money in the
country this fall.

Just a word about newspapers.
Every man should take a count ) '
seat paper. He should take it
not alone for his own benefit but
for the pleasure and benefit of
his family. We think that
every Richardson Count } * man
should take The Tribune. In
the first place it publishes more
local matter than any other news
paper. Last week , for instance ,
The Tribune contained nearly as
much local matter as both the
other papers combined , and a
great deal more than either of
the others taken alone. The
Tribune is but a dollar a year ,
one third cheaper than either of
the other papers. When you can
get the best for less money why
not do it ? There isn't very much
profit in publishing a paper like
The Tribune for a dollar a year ,
but with the profit we have been
able to pay our bills , purchase
new material and lay a little
aside. You may not be a read
er of this paper , if not , consider
this an invitation to become one.
Send us your name and pay the
dollar the next time you are in
town. If you are a subscriber
and are in arrears , pay up. We
are going to revise your list in
the near future and cut off from
our books all those who fail to
j pay the amount due after notice.
< We cannot afford to furnish the
| paper for nothing , and have no
I desire to enlarge our list at the
i expense of good business manage-
imcnt j and our bank account.
What Is Your Obstruction ?
Many people have a vague
feeling that there is some in
tangible , indefinable influence ,
force , or obstruction that bars
their advance. They feel a
certain pressure that retards
their-progress , as when one is
trying1 to walk rapidly through
water or deep snow. They
think if they could only get rid
of this something- which holds
them hack cut the cord that
binds them , they could do great
things.
Now , if you will analyse your
self , you will find that this in
visible retarder is inside of
you. Were it to be thought ol
as a cable , it would be found
made of many strands , some of
them entwined in your youth.
It may be made of skipped
problems in school , the lack of
early training , the disinclina
tion to take pains , the habit of
slighting things when you said ,
"Oh that is "
, good enough.
You never dreamed that these
obstructions would bob up in
your mature manhood and trip
you up.
Selfishness , bad temper , in
ability to get along with people
the tendency to antogoni/.e them
may be a very great strand.
I believe that downright la/.i-
ncss , and inclination to take
things eay , to slide along the
line of the least resistance , the
desire to get something for
nothing , to take a short cut to
success , is one of the biggest
strands of this cable , and has a
tremendous back pull.
The trouble is , we are always
looking for some outside help ,
some one to give us a pull , a
boost , instead of relying abso
lutely upon ourselves upon our
own inherent force and energy.
No matter what your obstruc
tion is , find it , get it out of the
way at any cost.
One of the things that keeps
you back may be the desire to
have a good time. You may
think that life should be one
great play-day ; you do not want
to buckle down to hard work.
You want dollars , but you are
afraid of the backaches in them ,
You can not bear restraint , con
finement , regular hours , the
sacrifice ol your leisure or plea
sure. You want liberty , free
dom , and work when you feel
like it. You can not think of
sacrificing comfort , ease , a good
time to-day for something bet
ter to-morrow. Yet regular
work , industrious endeavor ,
perpetual effort , planning ways
and means to do this or that , the
scheming to accomplish ends ,
the perpetual thrift to make
every dollar count , watching of
the markets , studying the con
ditions , and considering the
man at the other end of the bargain -
gain , all these thousand and
one things , are the alphabet
which spells ' -success. " There
are our school teachers , our
friends. The hardships , the
struggles , the perpetual en
deavor , the constant stretch of
the mind to solve great prob
lems , these are the things that
strengthen , broaden the life.
Why is it that you work your
self up into a fine frenzy and
determine to do such great
things to-day , and to-morrow
your resolution has evaporated ?
You say that the thing that
seemed so easy and certain yes
terday seems so hard and well-
nighed- impossible to-day.
The chances are ninety-nine
out of a hundred that the ob
struction that keeps you from
carrying out your resolution is
your unwillingness to buckle
down to your task and pay the
price in hard work for the thing
you think you want. There is a
vast gulf between the mere de
sire for a thing and the resolu
tion to have it.
Tens of thousands of people
fail because they love their ease
too much. They are not willing
to put themselves out , to sacri
fice comfort.

Market Letter.
Stockyards , Kansas City , Mo. ,
July U. , lf. . More dry lot cat
tle came in last week than were
expected , but the market on them
averaged steady for the week , top
$6 on three different days , year
ling steers at $5.80 , yearlings
and heifers mixed at $5.50 on
two days. The total supply last
week was heaviest this summer ,
at16,000 head , including 19,000
quarantines , yet it was 3000 less
than same week last year , the
shortage all in the quarantine di
vision , where the run is slacking
up a little. The supply today is
only 11,000 total , a big reduction
from Monday , market steady to
strong , although a large supply
at Chicago , and lower prices
there , is a bad influence. Grass
cattle generally lost 10 to 20 cts.
last week , except stockers and
feeders ) which were 10 to 15 cts.
higher , being very scarce , and
the inquiry for them getting1
stronger each week. A larger
run was expected for today than
came iiii as few grass cattle , com
paratively , have been received as
yet , although the season is well
advanced ; in fact grass cattle
from native territory are two or
three weeks late this season.
Kansas grass steers hold today
at $3.75 to $4.75 , those fed corn
on the grass upwards to $5.25.
top today $5.55 on heavy steers ,
yearlings at $5.60. Best heifers
sell at $4.50 to $5.35 , choice
heavy cows steady , up to $4,50.
bulk of cows $2.75 to $3.75 , veals
50 to 75 cents higher last week ,
25 cents higher today , top $6.25.
Hog receipts arc moderate ,
46,000 last week , 6000 today , but
the market has been going down
regularly for the last several
days , including a decline of 10
cents today. The top last week
was $6.87/4 , best today at $6.65 ,
bulk $6.60 to $6.65. Heavy
weights , butchers and weights
below 200 pounds alternate in
bringing tops each day , but
lights will probably be perma
nently installed at head of the
list this week. Sentiment regards
present depression as temporary ,
every legitimate feature of the
market being bullish.
Muttons and lambs made gains
last week and are backed up to
their position before the recent
break. Supply was small last
week after Monday , 4000 here
today , market strong. Spring
lambs sell at $7.50 to $8 , native
wethers. $5.75 to $6.25ewes $5.25
to $6.20 , choice yearlings up to
$6.50. A good many orders are
held for stock and breeding
sheep , some of which were filled
last week at $4.25 to $4.60 , goats
$3.25 to $3.60.

Uo you realize that the vine
gar factory is locating in Falls
City because the anti-rebate bill
passed by congress makes it es
sential that the factory locate
near the raw material because no
more rebates can be obtained in
shipping such material to the
factory ? Do you realize that
every congressman who voted in
favor of this bill not only saved
thousands of dollars to our farm
ers but indirectly aided Falls
City in securing this factory ?
Do you not realize that it is es
sential to our welfare that we
select a man for United States
senator who is not controlled by
corporate influence , but who is
brave and true enough to stand
for the rights of the people ? Do
you realize that every railroad
in Nebraska has combined to de
feat Norris Brown because he is
just that kind of man ? Know
ing these facts is not your duty
and interest clear ? There should
not be a dissenting voice on this
proposition in the next republi
can county convention.
