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.
The advertising spirit of our
merchants is ver } ' much in evid
ence this week , as you will see
by a glance at the Tribune.

waiting for an invitation for
their patronage and that the
columns of the newspaper is the
medium through which it is
given. Read all the ads in the
Tribune this week and you will
get a good idea of the many bar
gains awaiting you at our dif-
.ferent business houses. There is
no need of going to the cities for

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

Elks' Memorial.
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. No. 963 , and all departed
for their homes feeling better for
having been present.

Thanksgiving Basket Ball.
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.
