jr f THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE. Vol. Ill FALLS CITY , NEBRASKA , FRIDAY , AUGUST lj , 1906. Whole No. 136 Democratic County Convention Gather. The faithful and moss covered democrats from all parts of the county gathered Monday and after looking over the crowd concluded that Henry Gerdes of Barada was about the best looker for chairman and he was selected as such. | W Oliver Hall ot Humboldt Standard and Chas Davis ot the News were the choice for secretaries. The chairman gave a rip roaring - ing , old time democratic speech , setting forth every error made by the republican party , that he could call to mind. While he appeared to be loaded along this line , he did not touch on any good thing the democrats had ever done lor the dear pee ple. He closed with the re mark that had he been aware that he was to fill this honorable - able position , he could have told enough of republican short comings to fill a book. The temporary organization was upon motion made perma nent , then in good old demo cratic style the wheel horse swing on the corner and moved to select all delegates to the various conventions , by a com mittee selected for that purpose and the slate was complete. Col. Dalby introduced a nice bunch of resolutions indorsing the Kansas City platform and implicit allegence to the will of William Jennings Bryan. A resolution denouncing the present school law and asking its repeal , was introduced and carried unanimously. Speeches were made denounc ing the State University and other state institutions as pub lic grafts. After the selection of the delegates to the different con ventions. John Gagnon intro duced a resolution instructing the delegates to the state con vention to use all honorable means to nominate Ed Falloon for attorney general. The legislative ticket was then looked after and the following owing choice was made ; Ed. Lambert of Porter precinct , J. S Von Berger of Nemaha precinct and John Santo of Rule were the choice of the con vention upon the first formal ballot. The nominees all plac ed themselves upon record as willing to turn the earth in their effort for the betterment of mankind. Amos Gantt and R. C. James were nominated for office oi county attorney and the lattei , selected. George Fallstead was named as chairman of the County Cen. tral committee and the various precincts named their chair , men. It was amusing at the open , ing to see the sage of Barada John Morehead , and the Czai of the west end. J. P. Walsh show their teeth for supremacy in the organization of this body Mr. Walsh's name was men tioned for chairman whicl brought Mr. Morehead to hi : feet with the name of Gerde : on his lips "A man who hac never been a bolter or traitor ii the ranks. " The old war horse from the west end saw the situa tion and as gracefully as ii possible for him to do with drew his name. The "lion am lamb" drama was beautifully pictured from this time 01 throughout the convention. The Band Concert. The largest crowd that hai gathered on Stone street fo many moons was assemble ! Saturday night to hear the concert given by the Hiawatha band. A great many farmers ind country people were in the crowd so many in fact that every litch rack was filled with their : eams and every liverv stable full. full.The The band arrived late but the concert was worth waiting for. The boys play in splendid uui- son and their tone shading is remarkable for an ameteur band. Prof. Harnack selected the program with his usual good taste and the inspiration of the magnificient crowd cau.s. ed the boys to put their best ef forts into each number. The people of Palls City and vicin- ty congratulate Hiawatha up- this splendid musical organiza- , ion , and tender their thanks to : he members thereof for a pleas- int evening. Gilligan Fruit Farm. Uncle George Grinstead brought us in a basket ol peaches last Saturday which were the tops of this season's peach crop. They were grown at the Gilligan Fruit Parm and were a good sample of the ex cellent products of that place. The llavor of the peaches was very sweet and delicious , while the appearance alone w a s enough to tempt any mortalj being of a creamy white , with the prettiest touch of red cover ing one half of the surface. The yield at the Gilligan fruit farm farm composes the best varities of peaches , pears , plums , grapes and apples. A fine new residence is near , ing completion at the Farm adding another place of beaut } to Falls City's many , handsome residences. Uncle George , never forgets his frieds , and he haa the thanks of the entire Tribune force foi his generous remembrance of us ast Saturday. Petit Jurors.

The musical rendered at th Christian church on Tuesday eve ning , under the auspices of th C. E. Society was very success ful. The program was a pleas ing one for a mid-summer even ing , not being long1 and tiresome Several of our best local talen appeared and each and every on of the twelve numbers wer heartily encored. Institute. And once more the learned ones have taken possession of the town , institute having com menced Monday morning and will continue until to-morrow loon. Although in rather warm seas on the institute generally attracts wide spread interest and atten tion , this one being no exception to the general rule. The review iml instructions at these institu tions are very helpful to the teachers , in their term work to follow. Thursday morning there were enrolled one hundred and thirty- two in comparison with one hun- Ired and sixty-nine enrollment last year. Those in attendance are very enthusiastic and an air of good will and pleasure has been manifested through the en tire session. The instructors w h o have taught in several summer train ing schools and institutes this year say that the local one has enjoyed the largest and best at tendance of any where they have been. been.The The music under the instruct ions of Prof. W.

That large basketful of peaches given to this force on Monday with the compliments of Samuel Bucher was certainly a hummer , tie and Uncle George Grinstead have about tied for first place when it comes to peaches of good variety. The basket of Cham pions given us by Mr. I3uchcr were certainly delicious , being arge , juicy , good color and ele gant taste. They are along the luality line of the generous box of cherries he presented to us the first of the fruit season. Chester White Hogs. It was our pleasure the past week , through the kindness of W. II. Crook , to visit the Uhlig "arm east of the city and view one of the finest herds of Chester White hogs in the state. Mr. Bennet , the owner , not on ly started right , by getting the tops from the very best herds , and fully understands their care > which the herd proves beyond question. We do not mean by this that they are in show order , far from it , but when you look at a bunch of May pigs that will tip the beam at ISO pounds and built to perfection , we call it a good bunch to pick from. As brood sows , we think this herd tops them all. Mr. Bennet tells us that from 9 sows lie raised < J5 choice pigs , but one runt in the bunch and that caused by in jury. It will cost von nothing to examine this herd and if you are interested in stock it is certainly worth your while to drive out and see them. Art Exhibit. Those who have not inspected the exhibit of paintings , by Alice Cleaver , now on display at the White Art store , have missed a treat in the way of art. We say without hesitation , that it is one of the finest collections in this city , and shows the hand of a genious in each and every num ber. Miss Cleaver has spent much time and finance in her studies and richly deserves the highest honors accorded her in the high art schools in the land. Marriage Record. F. E.

The Winners base-ball nine oi this city beat the Merrill team it : an interesting game on Tuesdaj afternoon , at the Poteet Park , No use talking , those boys play the said ball game , some more. Messrs. Hammond and Hiatl of Merrill and Florence Wylic and Ruth Shock drove to the country residence of the lattei and spent Sunday as her guests. . Mrs. V. E. Emerson returnee to Dawson yesterday afternoon Horse Ran Away , Last Thursday evening a very serious runaway happened which nearly resulted in the death of two parties. A. Yoder , Misses Edna Spencer and Blanche Bur ger were sitting in the buggy at the Burger home about seven miles south of this city. A threshing machine was standing on the far side of a near by or chard and the men , as is their custom at the close of the day's work , let off the steam. This frightened the horse , and turn ing quickly in the yard , it made a dash toward the peach orchard , upsetting the rig , and at last , after dragging the buggy through the orchard , it succeeded in get ting loose and ran through a barbed wire fence. The three occupants of the buggy were thrown to the ground with great force. Mr. Yoder fell on his lead and was unable to move for in hour. Miss Berger was prob- ibly the most injured , not get ting over it entirely for four days. Miss-Spencer was badly shaken up and bruised , but was more fortunate than the others. The buggy was almost demol ished but the horse was only scratched. Those in the acci dent were very fortunate to escape from being killed in stantly. Vinegar Factory. Through the enterprise and push on the part of a few of our citizens , we have succeeded in lo cating the Leo Vinegar Factory in our midst. The Charles Hcineman build ing has been leased and up-to- date machinery is being placed as rapidly as possible. It is the intention to be ready to receive fruit by Sept. 1 , and a market will thus be afforded for thousands of bushels of apples that would otherwise find no mar ket and means many dollars to the fanners in this section. The committee in charge still have stock in this enterprise for sale , and those desiring a few shares , should see them at once , as they desire to incorporate as soon as possible. For inforina tion see II. C. Smith , W. A. Greenwald or Ned Towle. Scaffold Broke. Tuesday morning while Albert /iimber and Will King were painting the ceiling of one of the rooms at the Central school building , the scaffold on which they were standing , broke down throwing both of the gentlemen to the floor with great force. The ceilings to these rooms are necessarily extremely high and the boys plunged downward aboul thirty feet. Their escape frotr seriotib injury was miraculous. . Neither one care to experience n repetition of the event , once be ing z great sufficiency. Democratic Nominees. The Democratic State conven tion at Lincoln yesterday com pletely sold out to the railroad : by nominating Shallenbarger foi Governor and defeating George W. Berge. Mr. Berge was : strong supporter of the anti-rail road propoganda , while Shallen barger has always been recognix. ed as a railroad tool. Shallenbarger is the man wh < cursed Bryan as a dictator am tried to keep him from being ; delegate to the National conven tion at St. Louis. Shallenbargei made a speech for his party dur ing the last campaign and ther sentin a big bill for services What George Sheldon will do t < him will be plenty. Hon. T. C.

D. Fast on Wcd- icsday of this week.

Jennie awl Mattie Shock en tertained about twenty couple of young people on Wednesday evc- ling at a lawn partj Seven o'clock luncheon was served in picnic style , on the grass , and ntich merriment and pleasure passed the evening away all too juickly.
