    THE FALLS CUV TRIBUNE , FRIDAY , JULY i9 , 1907
Now and Then.
While making a short stay ai
Sycamore Springs last week tin
writer was thrown in with Col
George Marvin , t h c 13eatric <
newspaper man and one of tin
old timers of Falls City. Marvii
is o'ic of the most entertaining
men traveling this vale of tears
and one of the most interesting
of personages for a Kails Cit3
man to meet. lie settled in Rich
ardson county with his parent :
in 1859 and lived here until some
twenty years ago. He remember !
well the stirring times of earlj
days and tells of them witl
graphic vividness. Some day , s <
' he promises , he will write th <
history of the county scat fighi
of ' 60 , and when he docs then
will be added to the political his
tory of Nebraska a talc of strong
men and stirring deeds. True ,
many things these old lighten
did would not look well if clone
in this age , but the things they
did have given to you and me
the heritage we enjoy.
* *
*
I sometimes wish that we might
have the history of Falls City
written before the years take
from ns all of those who lived
here in the town's infancy. The
days of Burbnuk , Squire Uorring-
ton , A. Schocnhcit , Isham Kcavis ,
E. S. Towle , Jesse Crook , Judge
Dundy and the many other men
who came here when the town
was little more than a hope and
who labored and fought for its
realization. There were strong
men in those days , men who
fought each other but nevci
fought their town. I have heard
them relate incidents of the mosl
intense interest ; I have listened
to the story of struggles of the
most bitter character ; I have
heard of contests in which law
and order and everything els (
was sacrificed in the effort tc
win , for those were early days
on the frontier and the dictionar )
did not contain the word Molly-
coddle. It seems a pity that we
have no connected history ol
those days in Falls City to enjo )
ourselves and to file away as one
of the most virile periods of Ne
brask's story. The tale is to <
good to be lost.
George Marvin did not come
early enough to experience sonic
of this Hfd but he came carl )
enough to store n fund of inci
dents in his memory that make
him a very interesting companion
fora Falls City man. He tells of
early elections , one in particuhu
when the voters had to register
in Falls City. George Vande-
venter , one of the most strenuous
of our early characters , had gone
down to the A. & N. depot and
collected a lot of negroes who
were working on the track then
being built from Falls City tc
Salem. He brought the whole
crew up to haye them register
and had promised all of them n
dinner and a drink for thcii
yotes. The gang was lined up
before Squire Dorrington , whc
was taking the registration and
started to enter their names at
voters. Of course everyone kne\\
they were not voters , for Falk
City was small then , and the )
had to win.
"Where do you live ? " asked
the squire of the first negro.
"White Cloud , sah , " answcm
the would be voter.
"Here , George , " shouted tin
registrar , "this fellow will havi
to move , he lives in the wronf
state. "
So George took the hungr ;
negro off and gave him the nee
essary instructions ) and the fel
low fell in line again , and an
swered the questions properly
and was solemnly entered a
a voter and as solemnly led o :
to the "white saloon" for hi
drink and to the Minnick hot <
for his dinner. ,
Time was , so Mr. Marvin sayi
when Falls City had three new :
papers all edited in the san
room and all published on tl
game press. Times haye change
Remarkably changed. But tl
editors and the compositors and
the devils would all sit down to a
game of cards and play for a keg
of beer as soon as the last paper
was off the press. They always
kept a faucet in the office for just
such occasions. And they would
sit on the first Jloor of a small
building on Stone street , open to
the gaxe of every passer by , and
drink their beer and sing songs
and have what they thought was
a good time , for the labor of the
week was over and it was time
to play. Nobody thought any
hing about it , nobody criticised
or found fault or knocked , for
Falls City was young then as the
nen who have made Falls City
, vhat she is were young. Of
course we would not countenance
ncli conduct now for Falls City
s old , and the boys grown gray
would frown on such doings for
hey too have grown old. But
here was a time when it was all
ight and it seems a pity that no
jne has written the story of that
imc.
* *
*
It would be nice if a day could
> e set apart for a sort of reunion
ay when all whoi have lived in
alls City could come back and
enew the acquaintances of other
cars. Call it a home coming )
ay if you like , and invite Major
Jurbank and George Marvin and
ohn Dorrington and Krskin Gun-
lingham and the others of old
imcrs wherever wandering and
ut them on the platform with
hose of our local old timers and
lave them tell us of the days
, vhen the world was young. Such
.n occasion would bring many
rom the country who also lived
icre then. What a time we all
> vould have and what a fund of
aluable and interesting infor-
nation we could get from the
eminisciences of these men. It
would beat all the picnics and
celebrations you could pile in a
/ear , and it. doubtless would be
great pleasure td the pioneers
of Falls City. If someone would
act on this suggestion the writer
would gladly help as no doubt
ivould many of our people who
eve their city and who know
norc of the men who made it and
he methods employed in the
naking.
The Progress of Ihe Crops.
Rapid growth of corn through-
it the country was stimulated by
t week's weather hot with fro-
jiiont showers. In Iowa and the
Uentral states rums were heavy.
There wore general showers in
Missouri , NebniHka and Kaunas ,
hough in Home parts of Central
UK ! southeast Knnsnu rain ifliieecl-
d to prevent impairment of the1
rop. In the northwest corn is
inpromiHing , but an insignificant
roporlion of the total area is in
hat section of the country. The
iorn prospect ns a whole is more
n'oinisitif * now than at any pre-
ions time this season , and the
present outlook is much better
han might have been expected ,
'ollowing ' the late planting and
oug delay in gelling the crop
tarlccl. Some irregularity in the
land Is the only drawback Hint
nnnot be overcome by continued
nvornblo weather. There is no
ireeont likelihood that the crop
cnu equal that of last year , amount-
ng to 2,027 million bushels , but
he crop can ensily equnl nuy pro-
iuction prior to Inst year. The
July government report issued last
Wednesday made the corn condi
tion for the entire country 80.2 ,
which was 5.7 per cent below the
ton-year J nly average. The area
repo.ted is 1)8,009,000 ) , an increase
of 1,302,000 acres , or 1.4 per cenl
over the area harvested last year
indicating n yield of approximate
ly 2,600,000,000 bushels.
Practically everywhere corn cul
tivation is completed and the croj
"laid by" in clean condition. II
has yet to go through the mosl
trying time of the year , but Julj
thus far has given promise thai
the summer is not to be a dry one

where. The quality is above the
average and though the total c-rop
will be short of last year it will bo
for above the hastily formulated
estimates of most of the crop ex
perts. ThuJuly government re
port indicates a winter wheat pro
duction of 385 million bushels , or
abonl 107 million bushels less
than last year. The probabilities
are Hint the final estimate will be
above the present indicated crop.
The spring1 wheat crop appears
not to bo making satisfactory pro-
gress. In some sections there has
not been enough rain and in others
too much. But the chief trouble
seems to be a lack of stronghealthy
growth , probably attributable to
the drawbacks of the planting
season and the lack of sufficient
warmth immediately following.
There seems to be unanimity of
opinion among the well informed
Minneapolis grain men that the
prospect at best is for only n fair
crop , with the chances favorinp
farther deterioration. The July
government report made the spring
wheat condition 87.2 , which is 4.
below the condition a year ago ,
though it is almost up to the ten-
year July average. The present
prospect is that the August report
will show a material decline in
condition. Present data indicate
a spring wheat yield of 250 million
bushels , or slightly more than the
crop of 1000 , which was only n
moderatecrop. . The present
chances seem to be against the
notrhwest raising as much wheat ne
last year.
After all the reports of deficient
stand , poor growth , green bug
damage nnd- other troubles that be
set the oats crop it is coming tc
maturity with a promise of almost
as large a yield as lost year. The
.Inly government report made the
condition 81 , the same as a yeai
ago , with a slightly larger acreage.
The oats harvest promises to yield
050 million bushels. The crop oi
100(5 ( was 064 million bushels.

How to do it.
Says an exchange : If you too
your little looter and then la ;
away your horn , there's not a sou
in ten short days will know thai
you were born. The man whc
gathers pumpkins is the man wh <
plows all day , and the man win
keeps a humping is the man whi
makes it pay. The man who ad
vertises with short and snddei
jerks , is the man who blames th
editor becnuse it never works. Th
mnn who gets the business lias
strong and steady pull and keep
his trade and paper from year t
year quite full. He plans his ad
vertisemeuts in a though If u
honest way , and keeps forever at i
and until he makes it pay.

Nervous
Worn-Out
If you arc in this condition ,
your nerve force is weak the
power is giving out , the or
gans of your body have
"slowed up , " and do their work
imperfectly. [ This failure to
do the work required , clogs
the system and brings distress
and disease. When the nerves
arc weak the heart is unable
to force the life-giving blood
through your veins ; the stomach
ach fails to digest food ; the
kidneys lack power to filter
impurities from the blood , and
the poisonous waste remains in
the system to breed disease.
Nerve energy must be restored.
Dr. Miles' Nervine will do it ,
because it strengthens the
nerves ; it is a nerve medicine
and tonic , that rebuilds the
entire nervous system.
"Several years ago I was all broken
down. I was nervous , worn-out , could
not sleep , and was in constant pain.
I doctored for months , nnd finally the
doctor said ho could do nothing for
me. I began taking Dr. Miles'
Nervine , and used altogether eight
bottles , and I became strong nnd
healthy , and now welch 170 pounds. "
