HlslorlCRl Society V THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE Vol. IV FALLS CITY , NEBRASKA , FRIDAY , DECEMBER 6 , 1907. Whole No 202 "Lest We Forget. " This ' 'editorial suggestion" from the east is worthy of repro duction : It will help toward a restora-j tion of confidence if the people will remember that wealth is not a production of engravers and printers , and that it is not pro duced in Wall street. While counting up the losses in the market values of securities , it is well to remember that the value of farm products in the last seven years has increased some live billions of dollars , or enough to counterbalance the paper losses of a good many miniature panics. We were going ahead so fast that we had used up , for the time being , nearly all of the available capita ) . And then we were frightened , and forgot the enor mous powers of growth possessed by a country of ninety million people with fabulous natural re sources at their command a country with seven times as much coat 'as ' all Europe ; a country that raises seven billion dollars' worth of farm products each year ; a. country whose annual factory output is eighteen billions a year. We Lose Plug Trains. $ e learn from reliable source that Falls City is to lose the plug trains , the same to be taken from this place next Sunday. The hostler received notice yes terday that all crews are to leave this city on the Sth. These trains have been a great con venience to our traveling. public and their removal is to be re gretted. Dutch Alarket a Success. The Dutch market and bazaar conducted by the ladies ot the Episcopal church Wednesday af ternoon and evening in the Maddox - dox building was a grand success both from a social and financial standpoint , the ladies realizing about $60 from the evening's entertainment. A Hard Bump. Wednesda } ' morning a stranger who had been indulging a little too Ireely in liquid refreshments , received a bump which he is apt to remember for some time. Just in front of Shield's cafe he fell , striking his head with such force as to render him uncon scious for some time. After re covering sufficiently he was put on the train and sent to his home in Kansas City. Our Advertisers.

Deceased had been in poor health for some time , and on Monday last an Omaha doctor was called to consult with our local physicians , but in spite of all that medical science could do death claimed her as its victim. Mrs. Schaible was an ideal wife and mother and was greatly beloved by her large circle of relatives and larger circle of ad miring friends. She had a beau tiful home , where she presided with devotion and fond affection. She attended divine service at the First Methodist church Sun day November 24 , being a life long member of that communion.

The services at the Gehling Sunday afternoon under the auspices of Falls City Lodge No. 963. B. P. 0. E. in honor of their departed brethren , drew one of the largest crowds ever as sembled in the Gehling. The program was of the best throughout and commanded the deepest reverence from all , as the memorial services of the Elks are of the most beautiful and impressive one can imagine. After a selection by the quartet composed of Messrs D D. Reavis , and Dr. R. R. Roberts. Mrs. J. R. Cain , jr. , and Miss Nellie Gilman - man , the opening ceremonies were conducted by the Exalted Ruler and Secretary. ' * 'Calvary , " a vocal solo by Mrs. George Wahl , was beauti fully rendered and was well re ceived. Mrs. Wahl has a sweet voice and seems to have been at her best in her rendition of " 'Calvary. " The opening ode and cermonies b } ' members of the lodge was most impressive , after which came the invocation by Rcv. ) r. Baily. Mrs Ed May then favored the audience with a very pretty vocal solo. The first part of the program was closed with a few remarks by Rev. Mastin , wherein he eu logized the dead brothers , Win. Nye Jenne and Charles D. Camp bell , the only links missing in this fmternal chain. Part two was opened by a selection by the quartet , followed by the principal number on the program , the address by Bro. Will Hay ward of Nebraska City lodge No. 1049. Mr. Hayward has a wide reputation a * ! an or ator and his elTort on this oc casion proved his ability. He gave a historv of the Elk lodge , what it stands for and teaches , and his remarks made many warm friends for Elk lodge No. 963 of this city. It is hard to mention the solo "Golotha , " by Mrs. J. R. 'Cain , jr. , of Stella , as we cannot do her justice. Always a sweet singer , this particular piece seems to have been written especially for her voice , and when she finished there were few dry eyes in that vast audience. What better evi dence of appreciation is there ? The closing ceremonies by the Exalted Ruler and presiding offi cers , followed by the Doxology and benedictioncosed ! the second annual memorial service of B. P. O. E.

The funeral was held at the Christian church in this city , Saturday , Nov. 30 , at 10 a. in. conducted by Rev.

The basket ball game for Thanksgiving between the two Ilumboldt High schoolteams and the Falls City High School teams proved a drawing card and a large crowd was present. The Ilumboldt teamsi arrived on the early morning train , bringing with them a big crowd of rooters. At 2:30 : p. in. the different teams lined up for battle On the High school cam pus , before a large crowd of spectators. After a hard battle the score finally read 50 toll in favor of the Ilumboldt boys , but the girls had a closer battle , the Ilumboldt team winning by the close margin of 16 to 12. The game was greatly enjoyed by the crowd , but it was soon discovered that our boys were out classed , and while they went down in defeat , they also made many good plays , and came out- of the affray more determined than ever to get the scalps of the Ilumboldt team at some future time. Basket ball is great sport and we are glad that our people turn ed out in such goodly numbers to encourage our different teams. Not A Sign. An old women once said to her grand daughter : ' 'Say , dear , don't think because a lover rides ten miles in all kinds of weather to see you that is a sign he would make a gnod husband. The chances are after you are married he would be cross if he had to step on the back porch for a bucket of coal. " There is food for thought in just that homely little remark , for it is truth.
