The ball team that Falls City has not is a dandy. Ilo\v do your summer unders- cloths feel by this time ? What has become of Harry Thaw and his brain storms ? This has been a dreary spring ; one ol the worst for many years. If you have something to say to the buyer you will find The Tribune the most effective me dium to reach him. Just the same you might keep vonr eyes on Governor Hughes of New York- when looking for the next President. K. K. Grinstead and John R. Smith arc having a duel in poetry. From what we have seen the weapons appear deadly. The weather man seems to be beating Dave Herry seven ways from the Jack. He is stopping all fishing , both legal and illegal. A Kansas paper thinks it would be terrible for a witness after listening to a ten thousand word hypothetical question to say , "Hey" ? The high school track team is entitled to all the honors being showered upon it. The boys certainly made good with a vengeance. If the weather will warm up and .the evenings become pleas ant enough for the people to be abroad we may expect the long anticipated band concerts. Peru won the debate last Fn. day with Kansas and the fact that Miss IJclle Bolejack of Dawson - son won the individual honors is a source of pride and satisfaction to her friends. The President is going to see that the republicans of Ohio not only endorse the right man foi his successor but he will also at tend to the selection of the nexl United states senator from thai state. Wluit is the city administra tion going to do about a general clean up day ? It would require a few dollars to employ teams tc cart the garbage away , but sucli expenditure would be an invest ment. The city administration owes il to the people of this community to submit the proposition of buy' ing the park in obedience to the mandate of the mass conventior at which the city officers wen nominated * The chautauqua managemen seems to think it unwise to le the people know anything abou the assembly. If we can be o any service in keeping it sccre you may count on our services hereafter. The merchant who has laid ii a seasonable stock is having hard time to dispose of it. I3u warmer weather is coming , an when it comes you will see tha the merchant who sells his stoc will be the one who has been us ing printer's ink as an assistani Mr. and Mrs. Jule Kuogge ai tended the funeral of Mr : Ruegge's grandfather- .
