THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE secoml-cln matter a * Kntcrctl as - s Falls City , Nebraska , post ofllce , Janu ary 12,1004 , under tlie Act of Congress of'March 3 , 1879. Published every Friday at Falls City , Nebraska , by The Tribune Publlsbinrf Company E. F. Sliarts , One year Sl. Six months Three months 35 TELEPHONE 226. Good morning. where do you buy your "dope ? " There are two unpardonable sinsi viz : success and failure. Which one are you committing. Falls City will be the Mecca of patriotism the 4th. No other celebration in the county and no excuse for not coming here. We hate to speak of it , but we need the money. We have a good many dollars due us on subscrip tion , have you got any of them ? Secretary Taft has indigestion ; from his appearance that must be an awful complaint for him to have , it covers so much territory. It isn't a question as to whose administration is the better. Both of you did and are doing your best and that's enough , so let it go at that. Talk bonds , vote bonds , help your town , knock the knocker , count one in all that makes for a better town. Let's cultivate a Falls City spirit. Come in. the water's fine. If you havn't received a chau- taiujua program let the Secretary know. You will miss a great treat if you miss the magnificent opportunity to hear the world's greatest teachers and lecturers. There arc a few of the brown little runts of the orient that seem spoiling for a fight with your Uncle Sam. There isn't much chance for a scrap and the Japs are reasonably safe in shoot ing off their mouths , but one gets a little weary of their ever last ing bragging about what they can do. Sometime ago the enterprising citizens of Hiawatha secured a great band to play an engage ment in that city. Kvery news paper in Falls City helped ad vertise the concert without price and as a result a great crowd oi our people was in attendance. We wonder it our brcthern across the line have enough of the spiril of reciprocity to announce that the Kilties band , one of the greatesl musical organizations in Ameri ca and pronounced second onlj to the Sousa band at theStLouh expositionwill play two concerts at the Falls City chautauqua , July 22nd ? The Tribune is going to have plenty of tickets , paid foi In hard cash , to take care of t'u newspaper boys whether thcj help or not , but if you can boosl a little we would like it might ) veil. It is reasonably certain thai 'the next two judges from the Isi District will be republicans , ant it is equally certain that one o ! them will be Judge Raper. Tlu question is as to the second man The Tribune believes that { would be a good idea for the re publican lawyers of the distric to meet at some convenient poin and make selection from the dis trict as a sort of rccotnendatioi to the voters. This has beci tried with excellent results ii Lincoln , Omaha and elsewhere The lawyers know more of thi qualifications of the various can didates and are in a better posi tion to judge than the averagi citizen. Besides this fact , tin average lawyer has more interes in selecting honorable , able can didates than any other class o citizens. It isn't a matter o sentiment or politics so much a it is a matter of business wit ! them. Let some lawyer take thi mp and try it as an experiment i for no other reason.

I FALLS CITY STATE BANK Capital and Surplus $65,000.00. Vincent Arnold of Liberty has nnounccd himself a candidate 'or assessor to succeed George orn. Mr. Arnold is one of our uost substantial citizen and a cpublican of unquestioned loyal-1 y. His many friends through ut the county are taking up his andidacy with an earnestness hat will provcof great assistance j , vhen the primaries are held. The appointment of a new nternal Revenue collector still ) langs fire. The appointment f Ross Ilamond to this position vill satisfy the republicans of outh eastern Nebraska and no' jther appointment will. Ross las been an earnest , energetic i ml unselfish party men all the ' ilays of his past life and the | party will not feel very kindly to- | | .vards the powers that be if his i claims arc now ignored.

There were thirty- two iu attendance , a number also be ing present from Humboldt. FLAG ON NEW BUILDING'S TOP. Custom May Come from Admiral Von Tromp's Masthead Broom. "Why is it customary to place an American flag on the highest point of the ironwork of a ne\v skyscraper as soon as it is finished ? " said an architect , after watching the dizzy feat of climbing necessary for this accomplishment on the monster new office building of the Trust Company of America , in Wall street. "Well , I don't know , " said his companion. "I've often wondered at it myself , but I've never been able to find out. It's just ii custom , and whore it started no one seems to know. " The practice isn't duo to any par ticular ebullition of patriotism on the part of the workingtncn , and yet it is a feature that is never omitted. Carpenters do the same thing when i they place a brush or sprig of green on the highest point of n frame building. It mny l > e , too , that it is the modern equivalent of a crown of bays. It's just a custom , like nam ing ships. Occasionally u broom is used , in stead of a ling , and in this substitute one gets a hint of the possible origin of the custom , by going back to the days of Admiral Tromp of the Dutch navy. This redoubtable sea- I man so harried British shipping in the time of Charles IT. that his name became a terror throughout England I and to signify his intention oi ! sweeping the sea clean of all oppos- i ing forces or , in other words , oi i making a success of his undertaking , ho fixed a broom to the masthead oi i his flagship. Nowadays a broom is sometimes afiixed to the masthead by , IJncle Sam's tars , but the signifi cance of the act is different. II merely indicates that a long , wcari- Fome trick of sea duty has been ac complished. The ship starts for home and shore duty with a broom stick pointing skyward from the masthead. It is likely that the idea j was adopted by the carpenters in bygone - , gone days , and by them passed on to the iron workers who take the stce 1of 1 the modern office building to sucl &izy.y heights. 1 FIRST AID. , .lohnnio Papa , papa , come juick ! Maumw has fainted. I'apa Here , put this ten-dollar bill in bur hand. Johnnie ( a moment later ) She lays she wants ten more. WOULDN'T PAY FOR EGGS. "Gimme 18 soft-boiled eggs , " said a customer in a restaurant at 2915 Guinotte avenue. Frank Medes , the proprietor , filled the order and the customer ate the eggs. "How much ? " ho inquired. "One dollar. " "Too much ; I won't pay. " Mcdcs then attacked the custom er with a razor. A policeman hap pened in at that moment and arrest ed both men. The customer failcc to appear in police court. Modes was lined five dollars , which he paid , r Kansas Citv Star. BOONE AND THE BIBLE. Daniel IJoone was never without his trusty rifle. A missionary who preached peace on earth , good will to men , took him to task after a long harangue. "Why not leave your rifle behind , Col. Boone , when you come to church ? " ho said "Don't you believe the Holy Book oi God is a sufficient protection ? " Boone patted and kissed the gun as he answered : "Preacher , the Bible's all right , and has my good will ant respect ; but it don't kill wild In dians. " A FEW GENUINE BARGAINS IN FARM LANDS !
