That Hog Cholera Experiment.
The following letter , which is
self explanatory , will be of in
terest to the many who have
been awaiting1 the outcome of
the experiments :
SALKM , NEB. , March 4.
FALLS CITY THIBUNB , Falls City
Neb.
Sms : The hogs which were
treated by the expert from
Ames , Iowa , under the direc
tion of the department of agri
culture at Washington , have de
veloped the following facts :
Eight healthy hogs were
bought and placed in the lot
with seven sick ones on Feb
ruary 23 , four of the well hogs
were treated and four were not.
Six of the seven hogs died in
forty-eight hours and one is still
living. On March 3 one un
treated hog died and the other
three are very sick. The treat
ed hogs are well. I believe the
same will all live and the un-
freated ones will all die.
Yours truly ,
R. E. GRINSTCAD.
Library Notes.
The Library board met in the
council rooms Tuesday evening ,
to transact business for January
and February. The usual num
ber of bills were allowed and the
librarian's reports for the two
months accepted. The record
for Februar } ' shows an attend
ance of 2147 persons , and a circu
lation of 2200 volumes , 28 per
cent of which were non-fiction.
173 cards have been issued since
the first of the year.
Through the kindness of E. M.
Pollard the Library is receiving
a number of valuable books and
pamphlets from the government
printing office. These will be
classified and placed in easy ac
cess to the public so that the vast
amount of information in them
may be of use.
FtaecfTb
A man who claimed to be from
Napier , Mo. , persisted in making
himself obnoxious to a number of
ladies on the street Saturday eve
ning but finally got what was
coming to him when the hus
band of one of the ladies handed
him an uppercut which put him
out of business for a time.
He landed in police court Mon
day morning when Judge Sprag-
ins fined him $10 for his offense.
There has been too much of
this kind of business going on in
our city for sometime , and per
haps the dose given this man
will be a lesson to others , and
make it possible for ladies to been
on the street in the evening with
out being molested.
Save Your Old Clothes
As house cleaning time approaches
preaches the humane officer de
sires us to call attention of the
good house wives to the fact that
there are many people in our city
who will be glad to get their cast
off clothing , so in your spring
clean up when you come across
anything that you do not care for
but which can be used by these
less fortunate ones , just lay it
aside and notify C. Hershey and
he will call for it , or send same
to the humane headquarters over
Hargrave's stoic.
A Big Success
That the young ladies of the
Episcopal church are a success
when it comes to running electric
theaters was proven Monday
night when they realized about
$28 from the receipts of that en
tertainment in this city. There
was a good program and even -
one enjoyed it. T.he young ladies
desire to return their thanks to
Messrs. Bower & Waller for their
liberal donation. They feel
greatly indebted to the gentle
men for thus making it possible
to add such a neat sum to their
treasury.
Tis True
Fulls City has her building and
loan association nnd she IB to be
congratulated. But we mny bo
pardoned for calling attention to
the fuel that it took some former
numboldt boys to push it through.

Monday evening. There being
no particular business before
tho-meeting , the general routine
was soon disposed of and after
allowing claims to the amount
of $1,024.30 the council ad
journed.
Smallpox Patients Improving.
The cases of smallpox report
ed last week are getting along
nicely. No new cases have de
veloped and it ia thought the
disease will soon have com
pletely disappeared.
Congressional Convention.
Hon. A. J. Weaver of Falls
City was chosen chairman and
made a ringing Taft speech ,
which was well received. Senator
Burkett and J. H. Arcnds were
elected delegates to the national
convention. McFerrcn of John
son and Musslcman of Richard
son count } ' were chosen alternates.
The resolutions instruct for Taft ,
commend the state administration
and endorse the work of Congress
man Pollard.
Dan Sullivan Improving
The good news has been re
ceived by his parents in this city
that Dan Sullivan who was shot
last week in New Mexico , is get
ting along even better than was
at first expected. While he has
lost one eye , it is thought the in
jured arm1 , which at first was
feared to be so badly injured as
to make amputation necessary ,
will be saved.
This will all be welcome news
to Dan's many friends in this vi
cinity.
Full Line of Emblem Cards.
Cards lend an air of refinement
and culture to a person which
cannot be attained in any other
way. The Tribune has just re
ceived a fine sample line of cmb-
em cards which we will be glad
to show you. If you belong to
any secret order you need an emb
lem card. Come in and get our
prices and we can furnish you the
finest line ever brought to the
city to choose from , and at prices
within the reach of all.
Still Need $100
M"f > srs. Aldrich and McFarland
who are trying to raise the need
ed money to purchase a pair of
artificial arms for the Smith bo } ' ,
inform us that they still need
about $100. They are hopeful of
raising the required amount , and
will be glad to receive any con
tribution , however small.
It is a worthy case and we hope
the gentlemen will be successful
in their efforts.

On last Friday our old towns
man F. W. Miller sustained a

time was feared would prove
fatal. He is improving however ,
and at this time , it is thought he
will fully recover , which is the
sincere hope of his many friends.

Jacob W. Ramel was born DC
ccmbcr 8th , 1836 , in Tuscarawas
County , Ohio , in which stale he
continued to reside for nearly 30
years. In December , 1858 , he
was married to Miss Barbara
Bremer , and six years later he
moved to Chicago , and in 1865 he
came to Falls City with his wife
and little children where
they made their home for
two years , and then moved onto
their farm south of Vcrdon ,
where they both resided until the
great reaper came and took them
away. Mrs. Ramel died about
20 years ago.
Of this happy union there were
born eight children , 5 sons and 3
daughters , all of whom arc still
living but one son.
In the year 1889 Mr. Ramel
was married to Mrs. Mary Hen
derson of Lenox , Iowa , who sur
vives his death , and with the
large family of children , mourns
the loss of a good husband and
father. The family is large for
there are remaining 26 grand
children and one great grandson.
In early life Mr. Ramel united
with the Moravian church and
later with the Cumberland Pres
byterian church in which faith
and church he died.
For the past year his health
has been only very poor , and the
last two weeks he was confined to
his bed , yet amid his great suffer
ings , maintained a patient Chris
tian spirit , and awaited the call
of his Master.
The funeral service was held
at the family residence and was
conducted by Rev. Bailey last
Saturday morning at 10 o'clock-
and the interment was in the
Steele cemetery.
A large throng of people at
tended the service at the home ,
and a long procession of carriages
followed to the cemetery at Falls
City.
W. C. T. I ) . News.
"Falls City's going dry. " Say
it , sing it , work for it , pray for
it , believe it. This assertion
sounds good as it is passed hun
dreds of times per day from lip
to lip. No such show ol enthu
siasm has taken hold of Falls
City in years as has lately set
tled upon it in the cloud of ex
pressed conviction that the sa
loon has had its day in Falls
City. The pleas of the saloon
keepers are especially touching
as they recount how obedient
and law abiding they have been.
There are but few voices lifted
in their defense , however , and
it has become about as unpopular -
lar to defend thesaloon as Abra
ham Lincoln declared it was
uncustomary for. a man to wear
his wife's bonnet. Meantime
every man , woman and child
that has the good of Falls City
at heart and can throw an atom
of inlluence into the campaign
ought not by all they hold dear
fail to do it. We wish a mighty
shout would be sounded from
High school to depots , and from
the cast to the west , a long ,
loud shout in unison by every
Christian man , woman and
child , and though the enemy
cry peace , peace , that there
would be no peace until the final
victors shout and our beloved
city is free from more than hu
man slavery , for it is both body
and soul. We have faith to be
lieve that the Lord hears our
cry and "that the mighty vol
ume ot prayer that is daily as
cending will be answered , But
voters , it is for you to say what
Falls City shall be. We W. 0.
T. U. can only pray. Contrib
uted.

years he has lived in Beatrice.
During this time he has owned
and controlcd the Gage County

ic paper in southeastern Nebraska.
For five years he has owned and
edited the Beatrice Daily Sun.
He was for four years Postmaster

for one week with pneumonia.
His death will be a great loss to
Beatrice. He leaves a wife , two
sons and one daughter who have

A Correction
I desire to correct an error made
in publishing the proceedings of
the county board a short time
ago , in which it appears that
Joseph Glasser had drawn $415
for his services for the year l'J07.
This should haye been $2')0.05 as
is shown by the records in my
office. Since the question of
salaries has caused considerate
comment this statement is made
to correct the wrong impression
given in this matter.

County Clerk.
