THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE.
. , , , , , . .
Vol. Ill FALLS CITY NEBRASKA FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 28 1906. Whole No. 142
Republican Meeting.
The Brown-Sheldon meeting )
at the court house Wednesday (
night was splendidly attended ,
and a very enthusiastic gather , i
ing. The court room was nicely j
decorated with Hags and bunt
ing. Mr. Brown was the first
speaker and for an hour he took
up the vital questions of gov
ernment , both state and nation ,
al , and discussed them with
such clearness and fairness as
to convince every lair minded
man that the republican party
will settle them right as it has
settled every great question
that has come before the nation.
Mr. Brown paid a high tribute
to George Sheldon and the other
members of the ticket , telling
of their great accomplishments
and of their high character.
The modesty of the speaker
was shown in the fact that not
withstanding he could have told
a very fascinating story of his
lights against the lumber trust ,
the grain trust and the tax
cases , he never once referred to
himself or the great service he
has been to the people of the
state.
George Sheldon talked but a
few minutes , but he talked long
enough to convince the people
by figures that the fanners in
Nebraska are paying greater
freight rates than those of any
other state. Sheldon is a bull
dog and having determined
what is right , will never let up
until he has shaken the wrong
out of the question.
The meeting will be of great
service to the party. Republi
cans are very proud ot the tick
et and especially so of Brown
and Sheldon.
It would be unfair to close
this article without mentioning
the concert given by the Salem
band. This organization is
new , but under the leadership
o | Ed May it is progressing rap
idly toward excellence. Its
music was enjoyed by the large
crowd and its kindness in help
ing the local organization out
was greatly appreciated.
A Sure Go.
As a result of the meeting of
the band boys on Monday even
ing at the council rooms , the
following petition is being tak
en care of by Oflicer Beasley :
TO THE BUSINESS MEN OP FALLS
CITY WHO WANT A LIVE
TOWN. HOW MUCH
WILL YOU GIVE ?
We , the undersigned , agree to
give the amount opposite our
names , toward the support of a
band for one year. This money
to be put in the hands of a committee -
mittee of three , selected from
the business men of this city.
It will be used for the payment
of the director at S'25.00 a month ,
for buying music , and for a
series of 1-1 concerts during the
next summer.
Quite a number of the busi
ness men have contributed lib
erally to the enterprise and the
outlook is very hopeful.
No More An Anarchist.
The rush propuced by the new
naturalization law has been a
good thing for the District
Clerk and has kept him very
busy for the past week. One
young german who wanted to
become a relative of Uncle Sam
presented himself for natural
ization. "Are you a member o
any secret society that believes
in anarchy , the assination o
the President the destruction o
government , ' ' asked Judg
Kelligar. "No , " replied th
young mea hesitatingly , "No
not any more , I vas A. 0. U. W
onct. " "You'll do , " replied th
Judge. "So am I. "
What Two Men Think of Shel
don.
The republicans have nomi
nated an excellent man for gov
ernor. Mr. Sheldon was a cap
tain in my regiment , and 1
earned to admire him during
ur association in Florida and
ileorgia. If it were purely a
Dersonal matter I might re-
oice in his election.
W. J. BRYAN.
The last words of Air. Rose-
vater uttered in a publicspeech
vere heard at the reunion of
eteran soldies at Waterloo the
ay before he died. In that
peech he digressed suiiiciently
rom a discussion of war life to
llude to the present day duties
f the soldiers , and all others ,
n doing this he paid the follow-
ng high tribute to the candi-
ate of the Republican party
or the office of governor :
"Now , I say that in justice
o history , in justice to the
Grand Army and to our own
amilies and children , you want
o at once discard this policy
ou want to stand up for Ne-
) raska and for the nation , you
vant to help us emancipats this
great state from corporate con-
roj , and now is the hour. The
our is come , because the
truggle is on : because these
giant corporations are not con-
ent merely to have fair men in
ublic office ; not merely to be
reated fairly , honorably and
ustly , but they want tools.
' Instead of giving us oak and
lickory in the state house they
lave given us hazel brush and
villow. Hazel brush and wil-
ow we have had , and , thanked
od , we are going to have at
east one man in that state
louse within the next six
nonths , that is made of oak
ind hickory , yes , of ironwood.
but 1 am not sure about the
Dthers. I don't want to talk
politics. But this is not poli-
ics from the party standpoint ,
but from the patriotic stand-
joint. 1 do not care whether
rou are democrats , or republi
cans , it is your duty , as it is
nine , to see to it that honest
nun should be nominated and
elected ; and whenever you tind
a railroad democrat down him
ind whenever you find a rail
road republican is put up , let
us down him , and for once let
: he people rule. ( Applause. )
Jp with the people and down
with the corporations , I say , in
the political government of our
country. ( Applause ) . "
High School Reception.
The Sophomore class ot the
: iigh school gave a reception to
the Freshman at the high school
ast Friday night. The new
class was received into the
school with a good deal of cere
raony and high jinks seemed" to
be the order ol the evening. At
a late hour dainty refreshments
were served , alter which the
company repaired to their sev
eral homes , most of the Fresh
men appreciating to the full ex
tent that they had ridden the
goat.
. New Wagon.
Maust Bros , have added a
dandy new delivery wagon to
the many other affairs in con
nection with their extensive
business. A large span of mules
furnish the transportation
power. This firm are now pre
pared to haul their coal orders
this winter.
Missionary Rally.
There will be preaching ser
vices at the Malpe Grove church
at 11 o'clock next Sunday morn ,
ing by Rev. Billow. In the
afternoon there will be a basket
dinner and Missionary Rally at
the church.
REV. BKEWEK , Pastor.
Drainage District Work.
The drainage district is mov
ing along with its work with
commendable rapidity. The
surveyor , Mr. Munn , has been
busy for some time laying out
the proposed route. When the
project is completed the old
Nemaha will be so changed that
Uncle Jesse Crook will hardly
ecognize the work which he
and the late Wiltse Maddox
performed many years ago. As
an instance of the change to be
made attention is called to one
place where three quarters of a
nile of ditch will cover the
same length that it now takes
six and one half miles of river
to accomodate. Such changes
as this will permit the Hood
water to pass oil' more rapidly
than it now does and will as
sist greatly in preventing over.
Hows.
A River Packet.
A packet line is to be estab
lished on the Missouri river be
tween St. Joseph and Omaha ,
carrying both freight and pass
engers. Captain Joseph Kiefer
is to be in charge of the first
steamer engaged for the ser
vice. He has bought the steam ,
er Harry , a government boat ,
and he will take his boat to St.
Joseph asoon as it is thor
oughly overhauled. It will be
ready for operation about Oc
tober 15.
A barge will be used in handling -
ling freight and the boat will
stop at White Cloud , Kas. ,
Rule , Fargo , Nebraska City
and most , if not all the river
towns on its way , besides at
stations where farmers can
handily load their produce into
the boat from the bank or river
siding. The line will carry all
kinds of freight' from live stock
to baled hay , grain or cord-
wood.
The above despatch taken
from Saturday's press may
mean a great deal to the farm
ers living north and east of
Falls City. If the river packet
should be a success it would
permit farmers to ship by boat
instead ol hauling a long dis
tance over the hills to a rail
road market. While this would
result in injury to Falls City , it
would not only make it more
convenient for the fanner but
as a result of closer marketing
places , would greatly enhance
the value of the land so isolated
from market. A shipping
point at old Arago , now Fargo ,
might revive the glory that was
and make the old town some
thing like it was in the good
old days when Charley and Ez
Mettz , Judge Mast , Fred Miller
and other old timers lived there
and boomed tlip possibilities of
a metropolis to the limit.
New Tailor Shop.
Harry T. Morgan Inis opened
up a tailor shop in the rooms
formerly occupied by II. T
Gardiner and solicits your
trade. Mr. Morgan is wel
known to many of our business
men as he was employed by
Mr. Gardiner about four years
ago and these are glad to see
him return to our midst. In
connection with his tailoring
trade he will also run a pantor
ium. We bespeak for Mr. Mor
gan a successful business career
in this city.
Mustache Brigade.
An epidemic has struck the
mustache brigade in this citj
and in the battle the following
citizens lost out on their mus
taches : Messrs. E. E. Bell
Chas. Rickards , Volney Sear
and Dr. Messier. These gentle
men are now on exhibition pa
rade on the Main stem.
Eiler's Show.
Eiler's King of the Cattle
Ring as presented in this city
last Thursday night was the
tlrst of its kind here for some
time. They carried one of the
best ol bands , and two concerts
were given by them on Main
street , which were greatly en
joyed. The tent was crowded
to its utmost capacity even to
standing room. The" cast of
play didn't seem to be as popu
lar as some we have seen , but
each of the participants did
their part exceedingly well , in
fact the } ' were each one artists.
No one wished that they had
stayed at home.

From p r u * U i ) I indications
George Sheldon will beat his rail
road opponent about 50,000 votes
in November. The people are in
no mood to be trifled with and
corporation tickets made up of
Shallenbergers and Thompson
will not last long against men
like Brown and Sheldon.
Messrs. W. F. Rieschick , II. C.
Wittrock , and H. E. Wyatt re
cently purchased First Quality ,
a Poland China sire of consider
able note and a state fair winner.
First Quality is well known in
Poland China circles and has
made himself famous by the size ,
bone , and superior finish , that he
transmits to his descendants.
These gentlemen also purchased
a spring boar from F. M. Lail ,
of Marshall , Mo. , who has bred
more prize winners than any
other breeder , and Mr. Lail rates-
this young fellow among the
very best that he ever had. Last
year during the fair circuit a full
brother to this pig took eight
ribbons , five first , two second , ,
and one third. These two sires
cost them considerable money
but they feel confident that they
have two as good a herd headers
as can be found anywhere.
