It Occurred in Hiawatha.
It happened at a band concert
11 Hiawatha. She was from the
Kansas town , he was from Falls
City. The } ' had known each
ther about thirty minutes and
ach was tr3'ingfor an impression
yy using a choice line of conver-
ation.
She was speaking of the late
ohn J. Ingalls as one of the
hoice products of Kansas. She
poke of his service as senator
1 ml of his great oratorical
ibility.
"That's all true enough , " said
le "but he was too bellicose. "
She blushed a little but showed
she was no quitter by replying ,
'You are mistaken , lie was ver } '
hue. "
After which the band plai'ed.
'I don't know where I'm going ,
but I'm on the way. "
Will Incorporate.
The estate of the late William
A. Margrave will not be adminis
tered. It was the desire of the
leceased that his business should
je conducted after his death as
near like he conducted it in life
as circumstances would permit-
For this reason the family have
.leterminded to incorporate the
estate. It will take some time to
secure an appraisement of all the
property as the estate is very
arge , until the appraisement is
obtained the business will be con-
lucted as a co-partnership.
Business College Will Open.
College students will be
leased to learn that Prof. G.
M. Barrett will open up his
3usiness college this year , thus
giving them the opportunity of
attending an economical , prac
tical and up-to-date school. Mr.
Barrett has had the business
college here for so many years
that the loss to the community ,
were it to close , would be too
apparent.
The Institution will open up
Monday , September 3rd , and it
would be well for the intending
students to make arrangements
to start in their work on the
opening day. We wish Prof.
Barrett and his students a suc
cessful year.

lent sermon of Rev. Griffin.
Change in Proprietors.
This weeks A. W. Sen" sold oui
his large stock of merchandise t <
his brother M. Seff. Mr. Sef
has been identified with our
business circles for many years

In Colorado.
Last week Messrs. Keneker ,
Holt and O'Kell went on a trip
to Taylor Park , Gunnison coun
ty , Colorado , to inspect the
Woods-Gould Mining camp at
that place. They enjoyed a
very pleasant trip and have a
very decided opinion that it is
a great camp , Although locat
ed forty-five miles from the
railroad it has a 100 ton smelter ,
has center tunneling and every
facility lor rapid work. There
is an outcropping ledge of ore
two and one-hall miles in
length. The party enjoyed some
good trout fishing and while
going over Cotton wood Pass ,
with George Holt as driver , and
also in their descent from Gris
ly Peak , in order not to disturb
Dr. Reneker's side of the seat
Mr. O'Kell ' strapped himself to
the side of the wagon seat.
Fruit Carnival.
The abundant apple and peach
crop in Richardson county this
season , suggests a thought which
is worthy of consideration. Why
not have a Fruit Carnival in this
city either the latter part of Sep
tember or the first week of Oc
tober ? With a few of our enter
prising business men to take a
hold ot it and give it a good
push , we could show outsiders ,
and our home people as well ,
what south eastern Nebraska can
do.
We have all the facilties for a
carnival of this kind and with a
little time , study and labor could
make it one of the most gorgeous
events in the city. Verdon has
her Old Settler's picnic , Hum
boldt her Firemen's tournaments ,
and what fall amusements ha
Falls City on her list for the
year 1906 ?
We have heard that a Commer
cial Club exists in this city and
we hope that it will sit up
and take notice. We also enter
tain hopes that this said club
come to the front and give us a
Fruit Carnival this fall.
Three days or a week of pleas
ure would do much toward hav
ing a brighter time in the way of
amusements.
Let's all push and boom the
Fruit Carnival.
Well here's thinking about it !
.
A Pleasant Evening.
The local Fraternal Life As
sociation met and enjoyed one of
the most pleasant meetings since

cil room , a musical program was
rendered.
Ice-cream sodas , nut sundaes
and delicious cream from the
Candy Kitchen added to the
many other pleasures.
