\Vc have heard no one complain
lately of too much dust. It's the
th r fellow's turn now.M
If you can't talk paving * boost
in some other way. There arc
several ways to help bring it
about.
The farmers are now as busy
as bees in the honey season. They
arc preparing for another golden
harvest of farm products.
It is not quite a month until
July -1th. Unless Falls City
makes a move soon we may all
liavc to leave town to celebrate.
The farmer who is now fretting
his enforced idleness which
is a result of excessive rainfall ,
this winter will smile because of
his golden harvest of grain and
coin.
It i&stated that Mr , Bryan was
very much disappointed at the
passage of the AldriclrVrceland
currency bill. The $20OOO.OC
furnished by T. P. Kyan in 1904 ,
liowcver , was no disappointment.
The county judge of Washing'
ton county , Nebraska , has re1
signed his office , the rcsignatioi :
to take effect July I. While the
papers failed to state , it is safe tc
predict that he is not a Democrat ,
They never forsake the publii
vrib from choice.
Mayor Jim Dahlman says tha
only $15,000 was received from T
TKyan ) in 1904 for campaigi
purposes. He says that if he hai
had $15,000 more Berge wouh
liare been elected governor. Ah
Democrats ! Democrats ! Yoi
have convicted yourselves. Tun
on the light , Mayor Jim. Tun
on the light.
It is reported that in a certaii
locality in Oklahoma twenty inch
es of rain fell in ten hours. Well
m fact we should look for strang
things from a state which think
it necessary to fix , by legislation
the length of bed sheets a n i
whose legislature would pass s
extreme an anti-corporation la\
iliat a democratic governor shoul
Hiink best to veto it.
The water works and electrii
light questions are the big ques
lions bbfore the city administra
lion at this time. The mayo
and council are to be commcndci
lor the careful and business lik
consideration given by them to a !
matters coming before them , ]
is now a good time , for us all t
i\ork for the betterment of tli
city. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
It Is estimated that the outpi
of gold of Alaska for the comin
season will be $26,000,000. Th
is three and one half times tl
.amount which was paid Russ
for that territory by the Unit (
States in 1867. There are pro
ably millions upon millions of ui
discovered mineral wealth in tin
region still awaiting the miner
pick and shovel. There we
men. who set up a wail over tl
purchase of that territory as the
ire men now who have the nigli
mare oyer Cuba and the Phili
pines. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
With Secretary Taft as pre :
ileut and a continuation of t !
Kooseveltian policies , the pub
may be assured of the continw
don of safe and sane politics.
is not likely that the people u
ready to entrust the administi
tion of national affairs to Dry ;
aud his followers with no assi
ance that free silver , free trat
government ownership of r ;
loads and other like evils will n
be thrust upon them. Lessons
3892 and 1896 , under Olevelar
is still fresh in the memory of t
yoters.
A Willing Worker
MONEY is always ready to earn you more
money when given the opportunity.
We Furnish The Opportunity
IF YOU HAVE a few dollars of idle money
about you , you had better ask us about
the plan.
Falls City State Bank
Capital and Surplus , $70,000.00
It is estimated that the pay-roll
of the teachers and janitors of the
city school for the ensuing year
will amount to S12.517.50. This
seems like a large sum of money
to expend for the education of 750
pupils but the future ot America
depends upon our public schools.
They are a silent but powerful
factor for good , if under wise
supervision.

THE LOVE OF
WAH SOUNG
By A , H. Martin
As the sturdy figure paused under
the balcony and Kiized upon her with
Interested eyea , Wnh Soung shivered
with suppressed cxcltoinont and hid
her blushing face behind her fan.
This was the third thno that the
hnndsomo young American with the
commanding presence and smiling
face had gazed upon her oriental
beauty with more than passing In
terest , and the heart ot the llttlo
daughter of the flowery land throbbed
rapturously. So Bho peeped Blyly
from behind the sheltering expanse
of her fan and returned the smile
with pretty lips.
Suddenly Wall Soung with difficulty
suppressed a tiny scream. The tall
blonde stranger had laid hold of n
creeper that twined Its graceful
length round the supports of the bal
cony and was climbing up. Kven
In that Instant of fear Wah Soung
could not repress n feeling of admira
tion for this man who had no fear.
For it Is a bravo man that ventures
Into the clutch of the dragon when
the moon veils her face behind the
clouds and there U none to see.
For an instant the girl hesitated
whether to flee behind the protecting
walls or await the advance of th bold
Invader. The timid heart beat with
terror , but her curiosity prevailed
over the call of generations of slav
ery and fear of the horror that would
follow detection. And while she still
wavered the man had gained the bal
cony and was at her side.
G ntly ho addressed her in the lan
guage of her fathers , and she , taking
heart , answered his greetings with
soft words and smites. And as'they
whispered , neither marked the baleful
eyes that glared at them from the
shadow cast by the towering walls.
And their talk flowed on as the mel
ody of the brook that elngs of love
when the days are long and the sun
smiles on the blushing flowers.
After many minutes the man slipped
cautiously into the embrace of the
creeper and stole from her presence.
She had his pledge that he would
return at the same hour on the next
night , and she had promised to bo
there.
nut as she turnedaway from the
street her mother seized her roughly
and struck her furiously in the face.
"Wretched one. " she hissed , with
flashing eyes , "vilo spawn of n snake.
Is it for this that you were brought
from the land of flowers ? Know yo
not that yo are destined for the hon
orable Ling Wong of many treasures ?
And yo waste smiles on a son of the
thrice accursed 'white pigs.1 For this
your shoulders shall smart and the
face of thy honorable mother will bo
dark against thee for many days. And
if the great Ling learns of this , then ,
Indeed , vrero It better for theo to
have remained in the land of your
fathere. "
And with many blows she dragged
the weeping Wah Soung into the
house.
The moon shone brightly from her
throne in the darkling sky and the
waves lapped gently against the sldea
ot thq wharves. From her window
Wah Soung watched for the coming
of her white lov . And her heart waa
heavy , for the angry hand of her
honorable parent had severed the
clinging length of the friendly creeper.
" iddenly her small body straightened
fa her gaze became fixed.
On the other eldo of the narrow
street strolled a man and a woman ,
Thtlr laughter floated up to the windoW -
doW , bornd on the unfeeling wings
of the night wind. And she saw the
man , the man for whom she was
suffering , glance toward the window.
He smiled , said something to his com
panion , and again th y laughed. And
as she gazed , her mother's scornful
laughter fell upon her ears.
Wah Soung rubbed her bare shoul
ders where the strokes of the whip
glared rodly , and bowing her head in
her aching arms , wept.
Proper Name for It.
The lawyer's pretty daughter and a
young man wore occupying chairs on
the veranda.
"it's rather cool out here , " said the
fair uiuld. "I inovo that wo conclude
the session in the courtroom. "
The young man having seconded the
motion , they at once repaired to the
( rout parlor.
Maybe So.
Squlggs Why do they U1 these interurban -
terurban cars "limited ? "
Squaggs Because such a small
number of people who travel on them
get to their destination alive. " To

Owing- the high water and
bad condition of the roads on last
Saturday , many of the farmers
having horses for sale were un
able to bring them to town on
that date , and Mr. Owens , the
horse buyer , will be in town at
the Mettz sale pavilion on Satur
day , June 13 , when he will buy
all good horses brought to him.
The Metropolitan Life Insur
ance Company of New York is
establishing an agency here ,
which will be worked in connec
tion with Hiawatha. This is
strictly an old line company , the
largest of the "Big Four. " L. II.
Vannest , assistant superintendent
of Atchison , and J. T. Holland ,
agent of Hiawatha , are in town
this week securing new business.
Mrs. Charles E. Smith of Jeru
salem , who lias spent the past
three weeks in this city , left Fri
day for California , where she will
visit for a time before returning
to her home. This is Mrs. Smith's
first visit to this city since she
left here several years ago , and
while she found many changes
and many strangers , still the visit
with her many old friends was
most pleasant.
Most jokes are stale and in
sipid , but this one from the State
Journal has an air of freshness
and originality that would coax
a smile from the Egyptian
sphinx : "It is believed in Lin

inated now regardless of his owi
wishes. " Fairbury News.

RIGHT TO RETAIN NAME.
Advantage English Women Possess
Over American Sister.
"The English woman has at least
one advantage over her American sis
ter , " said a young woman who has
Just returned from a two years' stay
in London. "The English law does
not require a wife to take her hus
band's surname. She can please her
aolf. The point was settled several
years ago when Mrs. Fenwlck Miller
was elected on the London schoo
board. She had never taken her hus
band's name , merely altering 'Miss
into 'Mrs. , ' and a formal protest was
entered against her election because
it was claimed that she had not stood
under her legal name. This protest
was referred to the law officers of
the crown and they decided in her fa
vor. Now , there are a large number
of society women in England , most of
them widows , who have never taken
the names of their husbands. They
refuse to give up the title and position
they already possess for the sake of
using their husbands' names. Of
course , the question of changing the
name and thus losing their identity
in marriage is even more important
to the professional woman whose
well-known narno is often of commer
cial value. In America , where the
women use one name for business pur
poses and another for society , it
would seem dreadful never to take
the husband's name at all , yet it is
much simpler , and the almost invari
able rule among English women. "
OCCUPATION FOR "REAL GENT. "
Ignorant Englishman Could Not Un
derstand Where Laugh Came In.
When Jack McAullffe , the retired
lightweight champion , was in England
a few years ago he met Jumper Howe ,
a noted pugilist of Newcastle. Jack
and Jumper became fast friends and
in a hurst of confidence Howe told
McAullffe one day that he could
neither read nor write. He also asked
Jack to read for him a letter he had
Just received from a sweetheart. Me-
Aullffe readily consented to read the
love note and was getting interested
when Howe exclaimed :
"I say , Jack , 'old up there ! Yer
don't care to know just wet she writes ,
does yer ? "
"No , It's of no interest to me , Jump
er , " replied McAullffe , with a yawn.
"Well , then , old pal , Jest put yer
nngers in yer bloomlnk hears so yet
won't 'ear it ! " McAullffe laughed so
much at this sally that Howe , red hot ,
grabbed the letter , saying :
"You bleedln' Hamericans are great
kidders , aren't yer ? I'll get some Eng
Ushman to read , who'll plug up hU
bloomlnk hears like a real gentl'
McAullffe tried to explain , but It vraE
of no use.
Offenses Against the Eyes.
The first offense against the eyes is
reading with a poor light. This re
quires the ciliary muscle to do extra
work to sharpen sight It applies to
dim lights , twilight , sitting too far
from the light. The second offense Is
one of posture stooping or lying
down congests the eye , besides re
quiring unnatural work of the eye
muscles.
Reading on trains is our third of
fense , the motion causing such fre
quent changes of focus and position
as to tax the muscles of accommoda
tion as well as the muscles of fixa
tion. Reading without needed glasses
or with badly-fitted ones , is the last.
Eye strain Is certainly a factor In pro
ducing disease of every part of the
eye. Old age is the time of retribu
tion for those who have sinned against
their eyes. Health.
Thackeray's Poets.
Thackeray's favorite poets were
Goldsmith aud the "sweet lyric sing
ers , " Prior , whom he thought the
easiest , th richest , the most charm
ingly humorous of English lyrical
poets , and Gay , the force of whose
simple melody and artless ringing
laughter he appreciated. He admired
Pope , too ; but while admitting Mil
ton's greatness , thought him "such a
bore that no one could read him. " It
is not surprising , therefore , that
Thackeray never e ayed the "big
bow-wow kind" of poetry. Fortnight

Paper Foe to Rheumatism.
Rheumatism being such a universal
complaint , it Is hardly to be wondered
at that there exists a paper entirely
for the benefit of rheumatic sufferers.
This is published in Germany , and in
It rheumatic patients discuss their
symptoms and tell of anything that
has proved a relief to their pains ,
while medical men contribute articles
to-it on the different phases , symptoms
and species of rheumatism and the
progress which the cure of rheuma
tism Is steadily making. Needless to
say , most rheumatic patients in Ger
many make a point of seeing this
strange publication.
Why Turbines Shake.
Passengers of the new turbine-
steamers often express disappoint
ment and surprise to find that the
vibration experienced on ocean-going
vessels has not been entirely eliminat
ed. As a matter of fact , the vibration ,
so far as it relates to the engines , has
been suppressed and the conditions
greatly improved , but there is a cer
tain amount of vibration resulting
from the passage of the propellers
through the water , and this never will
? * > overcome so long as propellers are
