THE WHIRLWIND. The railroads are reaping tlic whirlwind. Everybody , the mer chant , the farmer , the laboring man , the professional man is re .Giving a. higher price for his pro duct , everybody , except the rail road man. In these days of swollen prosperity-the railroads are having their trouble. Tin ratt- law , the anti-pass crnsadc , the btirsted mergers , tlic two-cent passenger tariff arc all working over time to prevent the rnilroitd * iroin sharing in the jfcneral "good time. " For this condition the railroads arc alone to blame. Humanity in the aggregate is a iiirioiiH animal. He will flit inictfv for years tin- victim of the most brazen bunco game , but , lie knows when he has enough. The railroads have been running tilings with a high hand for years. They have rebated indtmtrious and ambitious men into bank ruptcy. They have made favorite institutions enormouKly rich at the expense of the many. They have controlled legislatures , state official * and congressmen and nvrd them to their own advant age and against the people. They have refused to contribute their share of taxes to the coun ties and states , and when pro tests would arise , they answered only with a sneer. But humanity finally ran amuck ; it got upon its hind feet and howled and is still howling , and then the devil was lu pay. And he is getting his. For years the railroads have been sowing the wind. There is an element of danger in all this. The people need san ity today more than ever. A Nebraska legislature is re ported to have said the other day that "the railroads talk as though they were on the verge of bankruptcy , and lam in favor of bankrupting them. " If this leg islator is correctly quoted , he is .in ass of "purest ray serene.1' The railroads have been the greatest factor in the develops- incut of this continent. The farmer can put his stock on the market in eight hours. The merchant can eat suppei in Falls City and breakfast in Chicago. The laborer is worthy of his hire and the railroads are entitles to a fair dividend. The railroads : ire reaping the whirlwind. In the present state of publii sentiment when the merest ad- \ix.icy of justice to the railroad : sets a lot of idle tongues to wag ging , the people should excrcisi great care that they do not "s n\ the wind. " The two cent fare bill seems likely to be come a. law in spit < of the great efforts being madi to defeat it. Such law will be o great benefit to the people u large , but it will have some tut lortunatc effects so for as ruilroai service is concerned. The rail roads can well efford to earn passengers on their throng ] trains for such fare , but som trains make so small a profit tha a two cent rate would necessitat their discontinuance. U is sal that the Missouri Pacific wil take off the Nebraska Cit , Omaha train , the Lttu'oli "Weeping Water train and Ui two Fulls City stubs if the bil passes. Now that we have cinched th Cliautuuqua why not orginize good ball team ? The Nebraska Senate imam ously passed the two-cent passci ger fare. It is now up to tl house. HOW TO SUCCEED Iv . . , w , . . . - - > 1 in knowing how to make money as in the ability to hang onto it. This is the formula : Lay aside a fixed portion of your income every week or month , as the case may be , and deposit it in this bank , no matter how small the amount. il We pay interest on Time Deposits and Children's Accounts. i ! | Falls City State Bank Ducks art' npi- and sports are busy this week plucking them. We nominate the Journal for chairman of the hellraisers as sociation. Keep your cars to the grass roots , there is something doing in the division matter. j _ II , , | ! , + ' ' ' The drainage district is a funny business institution. Long before the district was organ litcd 111 * " 'Prfbtine gave col umns of its space to the promotion of the interprise with never a thought of compensation , yet every line of these articles cost us money to set ami print. The Tribune has never failed to con tribute its portion to the success of the drainage project , even to refusing its columns last week to "a " very able and interesting argu- Iment in opposition. That our efforts are not appreciated is shown bv the fact that not a penny of the hundreds of dollars spent in printing by the board of supervisors has found its way to this office. In fact none of the enterprise has even intimated that our efforts have been ap preciated. If the district , com posing , as it does , the land of many people , can afford to ignore the claims of this news , paper , wean , -an ivrtainly accomodatc our selves to the circumstances. But it is a funny business institution that plays favorites to its own disiadvantage. Forty-Third Anniversary. The members of lodge No. Ifi , Knights of Pythias , of this city met at their castle hall Wednes day evening to celebrate their orty-third anniversary. Invi- ations to a large number ol riends had been sent out and extensive preparations wuro nade , in accordance with the usual elaborate functions given jy this order. On Wednesday evening the numbers , their families a n d heir friends met in the elegant Kill of the K. of P's. and were .jivtm a royal reception.

There were no CRSCI ready for trial belore Thursday morning , consequently , at'te passing n fetv motions , the.Judgi discharged the jury until nex Monday at which time the cas of the State against Harry Sim ' ons will be taken up.

Rev. Griffin Resigns. The people of this community were sorry to hear that Rev. Griftin , of t h e Presbyterian church , resigned last Sunday and he will leave soon for Colorado rado Springs. Mr. Grill'm has been pastor of the local Presby terian church for several years and has endeared himself , not only to those in his pastorate , but to all the community. His success as a minister and citi zen is unquestioned. The reason of hfs resignation is the illness of a son , who linds relief in ihe climate of Colorado. Kuv. CJriffin and daughter , | Aimee , will leave for their new j home the last ol March. ChccKiiiK Station. The Burlington route com menced the twentieth of this month to check the mail weights for the past year. The weigh master will make this his head quarters in checking in and out. This will also be the checking station for both stub trains on the Mo. Pacilic. With all this work on hands , in addition to the usual amount of business transacted at our local ollice , the post ottice here is busy quarters these days. However we are glad that our postofllce management is such that they are able , to ellicicntly cope with any situation that presents itself. A Good Idea. An Atchison man lately at tended a funeral at Palls City and tc\ld on his return ithat the grave was lined , and that the dirt from the grave was loaded on the wagon , as the grave was being dug , and hauled out ol sight. Graves are now lined everywhere , but taking the dirt away from the grave .seems to be new.and people are favorably impressed with the idea. Bj the way , how people take an interest in everything connectec with a funeral ! Every man knows that some day he can't escape.Ed Howe.

" Good Health. The Old Morning Glory. The old-fashioned hut over popular morning glory still claims a promi nent place as a quick-growing and beautiful vine * for either foliage or llowors. Appearing every morning in all the richest shades of white , blue and rod , often -variegated and striped , the silky ( lowers add much to the beauty of the home and materially ia- crease the charms of summer and au tumn mornings.

The Soil Must Be Moist and Contain a Considerable Percentage of Clay. The department of agriculture has In press a number of farmers' bulletins - tins which bhould appeal to the farm er. One of these , which will be Farm- ci-h1 Bulletin , No. 2 IS , is written by L. C. Corbett , the horticulturist in charge of the Arlington experiment statloa , j on "The Lawn. " Mr. Corbett con tends that the lawn is a signal cl the Inner soul of the householder , showing an appreciation of beautiful homo sunoundings. A lawn is the accomplishment of every effort on the part of man to beautify the surround ings of his abiding place. The great increase of interest in suburban and rural life has caused a corresponding increase of interest in matters per taining to the making and mainte nance of lawns. Submban railroads , the extension of electric lines into the country and the return of man to natural ways cf living are nil features contributing to the growing interest in matters pertaining to lawn making. Mr. Corbett believes that a lawn should be beautiful and at the same 1lmo ncpfiil TIs bofuity ilpppnds nil the contour of the land , the color and tpxtnro of the grass , and the uniform ity of the turf. The use of the lawn is to provide a suitable setting for architectural adornment and land scape painting. The Ideal soil for grasses best suit ed for lawn making is one which is moist and contains a considerable per centage of clay. A strong clayey loam or a sandy loam underlaid with a clay soil Is undoubtedly the nearest approach preach to an ideal soil for a lawn. Since the lawn is a prominent feature it is hardly possible to make the soil lor the lawn too rich. Stable manure posed and rotted and which is as free us possible from detrimental weed seeds is undoubtedly the best material to use in producing the desired fer tility of the soil. After a lawn has been established and it has gone into winter quarters , it is well to give the young grass a mulch of well decom posed stable manure which shall not be heavy enough to disfigure or mar the lawn , but should be so flue and well decomposed that it will be carried beneath the surface of the grass by the rains and snows of winter , leaving very little rough or uuslghtly matter to be raked off In the spring.
