ft.J s * " llMcnli'iil Society THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE. Vol. IV ' ' FALLS CITY , NEBRASKA , FRIDAY , APRIL i9 , 1907. Whole No. 169 " People you Know. George F. Hinton was hero the \ latter part of the past week on a I visit to his brother , John Hinton , f for many years a resident of this i city. This is only about the | third time that John has seen his I brother in forty years. At the age of live years Mr. Hinton sent his brother George from New York to a sister living in Cali fornia , where he resided until a young man , when he went to Wyoming gaining great influence there in the business world. The other brother , Will Hinton - L ton , of Omaha , has charge of a gang of workmen on the C. B. & Q. working now at Kulo , and last Friday he came up from that place and the three brothers took dinner together , this being their first reunion for many , many years. The following clipping taken from the March 2Sth issue of the Tribune , Cheyenne , Wyoming , has this to say of Mr. Hinton : Hon. George F. Hinton , Law maker , Business man and Miner. Every member of the House of the Ninth Legislature will recog nize Gco. F. Hinton , for they all remember him as sitting on the safety valve of the session. Al though it was his first term as a member of the legislature he early showed himself to be a man of unusual discernment , judgment and carefulness , applying the same tests to legislation as he would to a business proposition. Being an experienced miner , he knows enough not to approve a thing because it "looks good" but with impersonal scrutinj'could be seen treating every bill as though it were a bit of shiny ore * not to be passed upon until it stood the application of the acid of common sense. Although born in Pennsylvania Mr. Hinton came to Wyoming from California where his parents moved -when he was an infant. In 1SSI the young man struck out for himself and came to Wyom ing settling at Encampment where he has since resided. He has extensive mining interests there and while he has taken little interest in politics , his nom ination for the-legislaturc was an expression of the high regard in which he is held by his asso ciates , r Mr. Ilinton is a prominent Mason and has lectured before a number of lodges throughout the state. Mr. and Mrs. Ilinton remained in Cheyenne some time after the close of the legislature and have made many friends in the capitol city , both in business and social circles. Modern Methods. We are just in receipt of a pro spectus of the Nebraska Business University , the new business training school secured for Ne braska City by the Commercial Club of that city. It differs materially from an } " business col lege literature which we have previously read and contains the most positive proof of superiority ever offfired by a school. Pres. Toland floes not believe in brag ging , he sitqply states facts , and the facts are so convincing that he will undoubdtedly open his school with a full attendance , as nearly one hundred students are already secured. Those interest ed should secure a copy and learn what constitutes a modern busi ness school. It will be sent free by addressing Nebraska Business , University , Nebraska City , Nebr. R. Reasoner was among the } * -j Shubert visitors in this city Friday - day last. Cecil , Ruth and Agnes Kanaly of Rule spent Saturday with friends in this city. Tbe Man. , From Missouri. Through the courtesy of the Nebraska City News we are the recipient of the latest advertising' literature of the Nebraska Busi ness University. President To-1 land is not only a liberal adver tiser , but he is also past master of the art of preparing convinc- ing advertisements. The Man' from Missouri is the clearest case of "Show me" ever offered b.V a school. It is good reading from "kiver to kiver" and like all ad vertising issued by the Toland schools is free from the bragging unreasonable claimf and promises for which most business college literature is noted. It will pay any one to send for'-it and can be secured free of cost from the Ne braska Business University , ' Ne braska City , Nebr. The Falls City Fishing Club. A permanent organization con sisting of citizens and business men of Falls City was formed last Saturday evening for the purpose of en fore ing the State Game and Fish laws , and to vig orously prosecute any and all persons for illegal lishfng in this county. The club will be known as The Falls City Fishing club with the following officers which were elected : F. A. Keller , pres ident ; F. E. Farington , secretary ; L. P. Wirth , treasurer : executive committee to be the president , secretary , Aaron Loucks , Gus Neitzel and Ward Knight. The club when complete will consist of about 100 members , and vigorous steps will be taken to clear the Nemaha river to its mouth of violators of the fishing laws , and any person engaged in this unlawful business w h o wishes to escape the full benefit of the law will do well to stop at once. David Berry received his com mission from Deputy Game War den Hungar , who came down from Lincoln to be present at the meeting , making two local game wardens for this county , who will receive the support of the club. club.The The state game warden in com pany with the local game warden , Mr. David BeYry , and a club rep resentative made their first trip down the Nemaha river on Mon day to destroy seines , nets , traps , etc. , and to arrest violators of the laws. There is no question but what if the laws wore enforced that there would be excellent fishing along the entire Nemaha river and its branches , and everyone who enjoys good fishing is earn estly requested to join the club and to assist in the work. Everybody enjoys to go fishing , so let everyone help in this mat ter , and any person knowing of anyone having seines , nets , fish traps , trout lines over five hooks , using dynamite , selling fish , or violating the laws in any manner should turn in the names of the. offenders to any officer of the club , and immediate action will be taken. LATISK As a result of the first trip down the Nemaha river the game warden found and destroyed twenty-six traps , \\hich was very gratifying to the club. A High Time. W. S. Frost , the manager of the premium stamp business in this city , evidently forgot the nature of his business the past week and imbibed too ireely of moist goods , whereupon his conduct - duct subsequently being- such that Manager Spence was forced to eject him from his temporary quarters at the National. The company is an excellent one and we are sorry that their repre sentative so far forgot his business - ness as to indulge in such con duct. Small Wreck. There was a small wreck on the C. B. it. Q. near Dawson ' Saturday evening. Passenger I number Ht was lati and trying to 1 make up timeA west bound freight was taking the siding in order to allow the passenger to j pass as it docs not stop at that 'station. ' The freight was not I I quick enough in getting on the track as the other train crashed nto the caboose splintering it. No other damage was sustained by either train. * -r - . . _ Oliver Revival. East Liverpool , Ohio , is ex periencing a wonderful relig ious awakening under the lead ership of F. E. Oliver. Nearly four hundred converts resulted from the meetings last Sunday. Falls City will have this great nan here in a similar campaign beginning May 12th. Get ready for it. It will be a great day for the county seat of Richardson - son county. Thousands of people ple from the surrounding coun try and towns are expected to attend these meetings. Now advertise Falls City. Lost a. Mule. In some matters G.V. . Stumbo of thi ! city has been unfortu nate tor some time. Last June lie was among those who went to Wyoming and hardly returned in time to spend Christmas at liis home. Immediately upon his return Mr. Stumbo purchased a span of large jet-black mules , their age being limited at thirty- five years. Last Friday night one mule quietly passed away of old age. Mr. Stumbo con- jratulates himself on the fact that the loss was not exceedingly - ingly great as he has been suc cessful in securing a contract of having the hide tanned for half. Team And Wagon Stolen. A. team of horses and a lumber wagon belonging to Ross Goolsby were stolen by , as yet , unknown parties , on Sunday evening who did the same so successfully that no trace of them can be found. The team was a good one and the wagon was almost new. The thieves were evidently well acquainted with the premises as they even broke the lock off of the wood shed where the cndgate to the wagon was kept ; they be lieved in taking everything. Tuesday afternoon it was thought that a trace of t'he thieves had been found between Padonia and Hiawatha but it proved to be a false trail. Quite an Honor.

Cleaver , of this city , who was the book-keeper for the senate , was bestowed with quite an honor in the adopting of the following of which he has a copy.

Ilarbaugh and Snow who furn- shed the sensation at the last trial have been on the stand igain and told their story of 'alse witnesses and attempted .icrjury. An effort was made to prevent this testimony in as much as the Supreme court had paid no attention to it , but Judge Raper let it in as ho de sired to hear the whole of the -ase.

The play in itself is an excellent one while the company was about the best that can b'c secured. The Indian liero of the play is a ver } ' strong character and in his role was perfection.
