For a number of years past ,
Fredrick Slmfcr has lived a se-
clusive life on an SO acre farm a
few miles north of lluniboldl.
lie practically had no dealings
with the neighbors , securing his
gales with a padlock when he
was on the farm or when he
went to town for needed food or
repairs to machinery. His sole
companions were vicious dogs ,
of which he always had two or
more , and while he had no good
farm , he appeared to have no
desire whatever to improve or
better his condition
Some years ago the youngsters
in the neighborhood annoyed
the old man occasionally and
his mind became unbalanced ,
lie was brought to this city and
adjudged insane.
He was confined but a short
in the institute and since his
return resumed his old time se
clusion.

and opened the meeting with a
few very appropriate remarks.

Club sang two songs beautifully.
The people of Falls City should
appreciate the work done in their

Resolved ; That the United States
navy should be materially increas
ed. We have not the space to
say what should be said of each
individual who appeared on this
program. Each speaker showed
careful preparation. All could

did well and each one knows vast

navies of the world than they
would have known had they not
entered into this debate.
