THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE , FRIDAY , DECEMBER 28 , 1906
THE KICKER.
For the boncllt of tlio kicker , 1 wish
to cxi > lnn ! n few thiiiKS to the Kcnornl
publtr for tlicir cnrofnl consideration.
Sotno Imvo boon ( MirsliiK tliu oily n < l
ministrntlon , wliilo others pourr-l
forth tlit'lr words of bltloriipss upon
the help at the plant for there beiutf
no lights for u Cow nights. Homo
thought. Unit if wo weic noiiitf to dose
down Saturday nljht | , we nhonlil linvo
Klvon tliom notU'o so they might Imvo
prepared lamps forllie iironsion. Now
yon know jnst di inni'h about wliou
niiu'lilnory is Koinnto lm ak or cause
trouble as wo < lo , so why didn't you lot
UR know NO wo might have been like
wisopropnrcd. Miifhlnory breaks many
times without giving nny one n
inonionls wnrnlng find in mnny onaes
without iipimroutly any i-ause whatever
over , so what arc you going to do when
your engine breaks and you have only
tlio one : repair it. of course as speedily
ns possible jnst the same as wo Imvo
done. Mr. Lapp linn been trying to
got this much needed re | airing done
for over two years , but could not , so
when he called our attention to the
condition of tlio machinery and the
danger of letting it run without , being
repaired , wo at once not about to have
this work done and lot the contract
long ngo , and did all within our
power to Imvo it completed long be
fore the holidayn , but as you see wo
failed , for the same reason that u far
mer comes to town in search of a good
hand and returns homo without him.
So long as tlioro are three good jobs
for every good man wo will jnst simply
have to wait our turn , that's all. This
engine has been running for eight
years and only &I.U. ! paid out for re
pairs. She has boon faithful , so don't
abuse her , and she Is now good for
eight years more.
Air. Lapp has told us , since taking
the machinery to pieces , and seeing
how badly it was worn , that had wo
tried to make the heavy run during
the holidays with the machinery in its
present condition , wo would have had
n breakdown that might have cosl the
city several hnndord dollars and
cnusod a shutdown for several nights ,
so you see that this is jnst simply one
of those bad things that could not begotten
gotten away from. A farmer comes to
town , buys n now binder , takes it
homo , and 1 have known some part of
It to break before ho hns gene the first
round ; what is ho to do , como to town
for repairs , and then perhaps , have to
telegraph to some distant oily for
them ; now theie IH only one solution
of this problem , after a town gets tlio
sl'/o of this , where lights nnd water are
almost indosi.onsiblo , and that is to
have two engines , two dynamos and
two pumps and then if one breaks ,
which Is likely to occur at any minute ,
wo start the other and the patrons of
the plant know nothing of the trouble.
Wo now have one pump at the plant
that has boon running for eighteen
years aiid some of the parts are badly
worn and likely to break without a
moments warning and then supposing
a lire starts , which is likely to occur at
any time , for wo know this has boon
the fate of a great many cities , what
could wo do lighting lire without wa
ter ? Nothing , only stand idly by and
see her burn. 1 toll you Mr. Property
Owner , this Is u serious state of affairs ,
and should receive your most careful
consideration. It is an easy matter af
ter several thousand dollars have gene
up in smoke , to swell up and look wise
and tell how it might Imvo been avert
ed , but It is of much more importance
that wo formulate some plan that such
disasters may not como to pass.
1 beliovo"it is an ill wind that blows
nobody good" mid that in almost every
case , and no difference how bad it may
seem at that time , tlioro Is some 'good
grows out of it , so 1 believe that out of
this shutdown for a few nights , some
good will materialize.
I shall recommend to our city coun
cil nt our next meeting , that they pro
ceed as soou as it is practical , to for
mulate some plan whereby wo may bo
able lo puruhuho a now engine , dynamo
and pump. 1 slmll also recommend
that another lire station with the
necessary equipments bo located near
the National hotel.
Just a word about criticising the
city administration. So far as I am in
dividually concerned , 1 do not care
how much abuse is heaped upon my
self , but when it comes to finding
fault with the city council or help at
the plant , 1 think it very unkind to say
the least.
Wo never had a city council that had
so many unpleasant and complicated
problems to solve as this one ; staying
away fioin their own private business
day after day , with no other object in
view , but to dispose of certain condi
tions , that would bo ] for the better
ment of our little city , and in
behalf of the experts from Kan-
aas City , Messrs. Lapp , Morri
son , Draiinm and MoFurlnmi , I
want the public to know that thpy
vrorkedfday and night , not stopping a
part of the time for their meals , in or
der that the machinery might be put
together in time for Saturday night's
run , and then when the new piston be
came heated , it was absolutely neces
snry to shut down or tear the engine to
pieces. Now these are the facts in the
case , and if anyone is in doubt as to
what I say , ask Mr. Warren Hutching
n gentleman who is familiar with th
It often requires n muslor-piecc ol diplomacy , when there are so many friends to
remember at Christmas time. We believe that the more useful and staple articles
make the most acceptable gifts and have selected our line with that end in view. A
careful inspection of our stock will convince you of its merits.

Lines Connected.
L < ast Saturday afternoon tlio
work men employed by the Au
burn and Falls City Telephone
exchanges completed the work
from their respective localities
on the loutf distance telephone
line that extends from Kansas
ity to South Omaha.
The1 connected the two lines
at a point a little north of Stella
ind when this was done the gap
was filled that was lacking iu the
formation of a complete metallic
circuit all the war.
Only a twenty mile nap be
tween two points in the state of
Kansas , outside of Kansas City ,
remain where the wires are of
iron , otherwise they are all of
copper construction and this trap
will soon be filled , fjivinn the in
dependent telephone companies
which were instrumental in the
completion of the project as line
a service , in their Ion- ; distance
toll business as is afforded by the
itf competitor , the Uell system.
With completion of this pro
ject Auburn is placed iu close
touch with all the leading com
mercial and industrial centers of
the trans-Mississippi region , and
has the facilities that two line
lines ofOIK \ \ distance telephones
afford. Ncmaha County Repub

He Denounced An Employee. '
After a conference with Miss i
( larbcr yesterday , Governor
Mickey issued a statement de-
the stories of child
slavery in certain institutions in
Nebraska. These stories ema
nated from Miss Garber who is
an employe of II. M. ISaton , state
laud commissioner ,
After receiving letters of in-
< iuiry from New York and Ger
many , the governor called Miss
Garber to his office and interro
gated her about the sources of
her information. She bluntly
refused to answer his questions ,
telling him that it would do him
no { jood to know as lie soon < joes
out of office and would be able to
do nothing. She informed the
government that he has been in
the state government as long as
she has and has had as good a
chance to find out about these
matters in Nebraska. Miss Gar
ber declared that the printed
statements attributed to her were
true and would be shown up in
convincing form in due time.
The goncrnor issued the following
owing statement :
"My attention has been called
to an article which is credited to
the Cologne News , a German
newspaper , purporting to a cable j
dispatch from Lincoln , Ncbr. , '
to the elTcct that Cora Garber , an'
( employee of the state , working in j | ;
the office of the commissioner of ,
public lands and ;
buildings , has'
publicly stated that a private so
ciety located in Nebraska is im
porting children of working agej
from Germany ami selling them
to Nebraska farmers at the rate
of $25 each.
"Such a statement is too ridi
culous to merit serious considera
tion. There are no facts to war
rant such an assertion and it is a
falsity , pure and simple. I re
gard Cora Garber as unreliable
and would attach no importance
to any similar statement she
might make. She is now one of
the defendants in a libel suit in-

stitutcd by the former officers of
the Tabitha home of Lincoln ,
and she seems to have a deep
seated spite against the institu
tion. The Tabitha home is a
charitable institution for the care
of friendless children and is now
under the management of the
Lutheran church. In the minds
of those who do not know her
Miss Garber's statement is calcu
lated to do injury to the fair repu
tation of the state and it is for
that reason that I make this ex
planation.1Lincoln Star.
Cholera is Raging.
Hog cholera is plaing havoc
with the herds in the south part
of the county. Already its
ravages have decimated some
of the largest herds and the
monetary loss that has been suf
fered by the farmers in the sec
tion affected will run into the
thousands of dollars.
The plague first appeared in
the extreme southeastern part of
the county early in the fall and
spread from herd to herd. Then
it next appeared in the southern
part and has continued uncheck
ed. Some farmers have already
lost all their swine and others
are threatened with complete
loss. Nemaha County Republi

Nerve
Everything depends upon
your nerves. It is nerve force
that causes the brain to direct
the motion of your body ; it is
nerve force that causes your
heart to pulsate , and send the
blood through your veins ; it
is nerve force that causes j'our
stomach to digest food , 'your
kidneys to filter the blood , and
the liver to secrete bile.
In fact , nerve force is the
power that runs your body , so
if you feel worn-out , irritable ,
nervous , cannot sleep , or cat
well , have pain or misery
anywhere , your nerves are
weak , and your system run
down. To restore this vitality
take Dr. Miles' Nervine which
will strengthen and build up
the nerves. You cannot be
healthy without strong nerves.
"For rlRhtcen yoara Ur. Miles'
Nervina and Anti-Pain Pills Imvc been
my close companions. Enrlv In mar
ried llfo. wliilo ralslnn children , my
nerves became all worn-out could not
sleep ; had no appetite ; Indigestion
very bad. and liad such awful dizzy
spells. Then I began usinR Dr. Miles'
Nervine , and at once I began to Im
prove , and soon found myself in
perfect health. "
