THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE.
Vol. V FALLS CITY , NEBRASKA , FRIDAY , JUNE 19 , 1908. Number 22
Fine Gooseberries.
We never were lovers of goose
berries until this week when
Mrs Win. Sears brought us a
liberal sample , which for size ,
quality and flavor are the best
ever. They are larger than the
average cherry and about as
sweet. Mrs. Sears considers
herself fortunate in being the
possessor of such a rare variety.
A Correction.
In our report last week of the
contract for the foundation of the
water and light plants , we stated
, \ that the price was $7.50 per cubic
P /oot when it should have read
per cubic yard. We make this
correction in justice to the coun
cil before the charge of extrava
gance is laid at their door ,
WillTe7chln Rulo.
A. H. Voegelein. who for the
past year has been employed as
assistant for Prof. Hoff in the
Humboldt schools , has been
elected as superintendent of the
Eulo schools for the coming year
Prol. Voegelein is a Falls City
product of whom we are all justly
proud , and while yet a young
man , he is steadily working to
the front , and we predict for him
a glorious future.
Store Robbed , .
When Win. Sears went to his
second hand storeMonday morning
it was to find that some one had
been there before him and helped
themselves to whatever pleased
their fancy. Their taste seemed
to run along the line of cutlery
and firearms as they took knives ,
razors , revolvers etc. , to the
amount of about $20. Up to
date no clew has been found as
to the thief.
Memorial Services.
Sunday was memorial day for
thu Odd Fellows and A. O. U. W.
lodges and was properly observed
in this city.
At 11 a. m. Rev. Mastin deliv
ered the address to the A. OU. .
W. at the Methodist church and
at 2:30 : p. m. Rev. R. Cooper
Bailey , Ph. D addressed the I. O.
O. F's and Rebekahs at the Pres
byterian church. Both services
were well attended and the ser
mons by these eminent speakers
were of the best and greatly en
joyed by all.
After the church services the
members of the orders went to
the cemetery where they placed
flowers on the graves of friends
gone before.
Marts Was There ,
Saturday evening a man was
taken in charge by Officer Marts
on the advice handed in by Win.
Sears. The man went to the
second hand store of Mr. Sears to
, dispose of a pair of shoes and
carelessly dropped the tag off of
the same ; which Mr. Sea-rs se
cured aftenhis customer left the
store. Sears immediately hand
ed the tag over to Marts who
later found that it belonged toM.
Seff , the man having stolen the
shoes from his store. Mr. Marts
then began his hunt for the thief
and later found him in front of
Cleveland & Sons' store and when
arrested by Marts was found to
have hidden under his coat an
umbrella taken from Cleveland's.
He was placed in jail and Mon
day morning was taken to police
court and plead guilty to the
charge of petit larceny. He was
fined $19.60 and is now laying it
out in jail eating three square
' meals a day.
The man gives his name as
James Moran and his home at
St. Joe , but it is the opinion of
Officer Marts that he has no home
other than jails , and he has
every appearance of being a full
fledged thief and possibly anothei
of the gang working between
{ Wymore and St. Joe.
Remembered the Printer , .
Knowing that luxuries are rare
to the printer , Sam Bncher on
Monday morning gladdened our
hearts by bringing in a box of
the finest cherries it has ever
been our privilege to sample.
Sam doesn't know the variety ,
but he does know that it is the
best ever , lie has only two
trees , and for the benefit of those
who might be tempted to stroll
in that neighborhood some eve
ning , we will say that Sam camps
under the tree every night with
a shot gun.
Receives Much Material.
C. H. Ilcineman is about the
busiest man we know of , getting
things in shape for his rush in
sidewalk work , when this rain
sees fit to cease. On Tuesday he
received five carloads of sidewalk
material , consisting of sand ,
crushed rock , etc.
Aside from this Mr. Heineman
is fixing up the rear of his busi
ness building , to be used as a
warehouse , where he will store
the large amount of cement re
cently purchased. Mr. Heineman
has been keeping his eyes open ,
and when the cement combine
was broken got in on the ground
floor , catching a low market and
handled twenty cars of cement.
With this supply of material on
hand Charley is prepared to meet
all comers when it comes to his
kind of work.
Great Improvements.
Few of our people realize the
magnitude of the Sunnyside
Greenhouse of this city , and to
those who have not been out
there recently we would say it is
worth your time to make the trip
and what you see will surprise
you. At present Simanton &
Pence are busy making substan
tial improvements. Three new
houses each 22x100 feet are being
added , thus 'doubling their pres
ent capacity , the same to be
heated by steam throughout.
When completed the Sunnyside
green house will be one of the
best in the state and amply equip
ped to take care of their eyer in
creasing trade. The proprietors
inform us that their shipping
trade is growing to be quite a
business , and a day never passes
without them shipping large
orders to our neighboring towns.
They are expending about $2,500
on improvements this spring and
our people are justly proud of
this institution.
Home From Philippines.
O. A. Cooper came down from
Humboldt Tuesday to meet his
daughter , Miss Eva , who was
returning from a ) three year's
stay in the Philippines , where
she has been employed as a
teacher.
Miss Eva has had a delightful
experience and trip , having made
a complete tour around the world
When she landed in New York
City she was met by Miss Clema
Rousek , one of her Humboldt
friends , and together they com.
pleted the journey home. They
spent some time in the big city ,
where they were entertained by
college friends. They also made
a week's stay in Chicago with a
sister of Miss Eva's. When they
arrived at the depot in this city
they were welcomed by their
"frat" friends who reside here ,
and their short stay made most
pleasant.
Upon their arrival in Hum-
boldt there was a grand wel
come awaiting them , all express ,
ing their joy at Miss Eva's safe
arrival from her perilous trip.
Chas. Hargrave went to Wy-
more , Sunday , and spent a few
days with his wife and son , who
are visiting in that place ,
Another Good One.
Our ball boys gave an exhibi
tion Monday of how they can pull
a game out of the hole.
The Indians were right aftei
them all through the game , and
played mighty good ball. The
first redskin up landed on the
sphere for a safe one and got tc
first , stealing second and third
without an effort. For a time it
looked like he would die there ,
but was brought in by the fourth
man up. Then the fun began.
Our boys , however , were unable
to score in the first , even aftei
Green made a clean little singlei
and the score stood 1 to 0 with
the Indians to the good.
In the second inning , however
the visitors were eaby and received
a goose egg. Our boys then got
busy , Sears hitting the ball for a
one-base hit and was forced home
by a two-bagger by Heck. Cor
nell was the next man up , but
didn't get very far , when Myers
made a two-bagger and landed on
third on an error , and was assist
ed across the plate on a safe hi !
by Greenanda great deal of cheering
ingon the part of the crowd ,
the score now standing 2 to 1
with the Italians trailing.
The third inning the score was
evened up , and in the fourth the
visitors succeeded in making one.
But our boys wouldn't have it
that way , and the first men up ,
Heck and Cornell , got off on the
right foot , each making a safe. .
Myers , the next one , couldn't
help them a bit , and then Ilea-
cock fanned. Here was the criti
cal moment , with two men or
bases and two out and the Indian *
one ahead it was an awful mo
ment , but Green and Foehlingci
did their duty by bringing Heck
and Cornell home , placing the
home team one in the lead. Noth
ing more was doing until the
eighth , when on an error the
visitors made one and another in
the ninth. This was different
with 5 to 4 for the visitors.
Things looked pretty blue
about this time , and when oui
boys went to bat for their lasl
chance the rooters were rathei
tame. But right here is when
the boys did the work of thcii
lives. Myers , the first man up ,
was caught at first , but HeacocV
got to first on a safe one , ther
Green did his best , but failed
By this time the suspense was
awful , with two men out , one or
base with only one chance to win ,
but that chance came when Foch'
linger swatted the ball for a honu
run , winning the game , whicl
was one of the best witnessed or
the home grounds. Following i ;
the game by innings :

NOTKS.
Neither side had a cinch on the
game at any time.
A number of Indians from the
surrounding towns witnessed tin
game.
The visitors were a nice buncl
of fellows and took their defeai
like men.
Sears is always on deck am
gets anything within a radius o
half a mile.
It was not an errorless game
but was far above the avcragt
and everybody enjoyed it.
Lynn Glines' stentorian voice
advised the people as to his ver
dict as umpire. Lynn always
gives satisfaction.
That home run by Foehlingcr
was certainly a grand finale. He
knocked the ball so far that even
"Kagle Eye" could not find it.
A big crowd was in attendance ,
the gate receipts being sufficient
to get our boys out of the hole.
What would a ball game in
Falls City amount to without
Sam. lie keeps every one in a
good humor.
Plcacock pitched the first four
innings , fanning four and allow
ing but three hits , while two men
were given bases on balls. Jar-
rott entered the box in the fifth
and did some fine work.
Died.
WII/TSK.
Mary 13. , daughter ol Mr. and
Mrs. James Wiltse. died at the
home of her parents in Rule , Neb. ,
on Monday evening , June 15 ,
aged ( > years , 6 months and 21
days.
The little one was a suiTcrer
from an ailment which required
a surgical operation , but she was
too frail and never rallied from
the shock.
She was the only child , and the
fond parents have the sincere
sympathy of many friends in their
loss.

The funeral was held from the

2 p. m. , conducted by Rev. James
C. Shafer.
N12DUOW.
Leyi Nedrow died at his home
in this city Wednesday evening ,
June 17 , 1 < J08 , aged 82 years , o
months and 9 days , after a ling
ering illness. Deceased was
born in SommersefcCunty , Pa. ,
where he grew to manhood. He
was married in 1840 to Catherine
Meyers. To this union eleven
children were born , eight of
whom are still living.
In 1851 Mr. Nedrow and family
moved to Carroll , 111. , where
'
they remained until 'the fall ol
18G9 , when they bought and lo
cated on a farm north of town ,
remaining there until old age
forced him to give up active farm
life and move to town.
Uncle Levi , as every one knew
him , wasone ol our pioneers and
was loved by all who knew him ,
as he was a friend to all , and
looked upon all as his friend.
Heyas a good Christian man ,
leading a life consistent with his
belief , one of his many virtues
being Charity , always ready to
give aid to the needy. He was
a leading member and senior
warden of the Brethren church.
Besides his children he leaves
a widow , who has been his taith-
ful companion , sharing his joys
and sorrows for more than half
a century , are left to mourn the
loss of a kind and indulgent hus
band and lather. To these the
sympathy of our entire commun
ity is extended.
The funeral will be held from
the Brethren church tomorrow
afternoon and it is expected that
all the children will be present
to asssist in these lastsad rites.
Worthy of Mention.
Among other enterprises in our
city worthy of especial mention is
our Candy Kitchen , which is
growing in popularity every day.
Mr. IBacakos and wife came to
Falls City a little more than two
years and started in business on a
modest scale , in fact , with practi
cally nothing , but through their
kind and courteous treatment have
built up a business second to none.
Their ice cream has become so
well known that the demand has
compelled Mr. Bacakos to add a
new engine , a ten-gallon freezer
and power ice crusher , in order to
be able to fill his wholesale orders.
By these labor-saving devices he
is now able to give to the public
the very best ice cream at 25 cents
per quart , a saving of 15 cents
oyer old prices.
As to his candy kitchen , the
product of that is so well known
it is unnecessary to mention it ,
otherwise than to say it is perfect
and is presided over by Mr.
Bacakos himself , who knows
candy from start to finish.
All in all the Falls City Candy
Kitchen would be hard to improve
upon.

The Book Worm club met at
the librarv Friday morning and
enjoyed one of the most delight
ful sessions since its organisation
The lesson was "Manners and
Customs of Japan" with Lucilc
Leyda and Florence Parclion a a
lenders. To make the' lesson
more realistic and interesting
some of the guests were dressed
in Japanese costumes and the
theme was carried out in the
decorations. After the program
the fun began when the guests
were compelled to sit on the lloor
and eat their rice with choji
sticks. It was indeed a pleasant
session. The club meets again
this morning , when the study of
Japan will be continued.
A Lively Runaway.
As Quimby Beaver and Will
Flowers were driving to town

Judge Gagnons residence the }
met Chester Fisher driving a cow.

Frank Wilson became frightened
and overturned the buggy throw ,
ing the occupants out , he then
started for home on a hard run ,
reaching the Wilson home safely
On his homeward journey he
came near running into several
buggies , only missing Mabh
Wilsons buggy by a few inches
and would have run into the
buggy driven by Frank Schaibh
and wife had they not waved
their lap robe thereby changing
his course. Aside from a fev
slight bruises sustained by Mr
Beaver no damage was done.

School Board Alcetinp.
The school board mot on Tues
day evening and disposed of much
important business.
The contract was let to C. II.
Ileincman for a concrete walk on
the south side of the High school.
This move is a wise one and will
b c appreciated b y everyone.
Much complaint lias been made
by pedertrians on Stone street
who arc compelled to meet the
vast throng of students as they
come from school and arc very
careless about blockading the
walks , often compelling others to
either assert their rights or give
the entire walk. The proposed
walk will eliminate tins trouble
to some extent , as it will provide
good walks for students living
east and west of schoolwho here
tofore were compelled to travel
some and come south on Stone
street until they could reach walks
leading , in their direction. A
contract was also given to B. Si-
monton to paint the halls and one
room of the High school. The
school board gave their consent
to the city to locate the new stand
pipe north ot the High school.
After discussing otherjmporl-
ant questions the board adjourned.
Sold Light Bonds.
At a meeting of the city couii ;
cil Saturday morning , called for
the purpose of disposing of the
electric light bonds , it was de
cided to accept the proposition of
the First National and Richard
son County banks each to take an
equal share of $12,500 , at par and
now it is only a matter of a very
short time until Falls City will
rank with the best of them tn the
way of light. The site has been
: lccidcd upon which will be in
the city park. After due consid
eration this was deemed the best
possible location in more ways
than one. One of the principal
reasons is the fact that the M. P.
lias consented to build a switch
from the main track to the plant ,
which means a saving of about
$500 a year in the way of hituling
coal and su : > plius which is quite
an item.
Jubt as soon as t'u ' : weather
permits and the matt-rial . ' .raves
this work will be pushed as rap
idly as.postible. . For a long time
our light plant as been overloaded
rimning'far beyond its capacity ,
and the result was a poorly light
ed city and dissatisfied patrons.
With our new light plant all this
will be changed.
Our council have realized this
condition for a long time , and
while many have been prone to
condemn them for their seeming
slowness they will find that each
act l as been thoroughly discussed
and that everything is being done
for the welfare of the city , every
member of the council having the
city at heart. After' the bond
question had been disposed of the
council adjourned subject to call
by the mayor.
Last evening the mayor called
another special meeting for the
purpose of considering a proposi
tion made the city by Mr. Dor-
rington. It will be remembered
that some time ago a well
was sunk on Mr. Dorrington's
land just south of town. The
water supply found there was
even beyond their expectations ,
and since that time this has been
considered the proper place for
the water works , the only draw
back being the price asked for
the land. Mr. Dorrington makes
them an offer of about five acres
of ground and a pipe and pole
right of way to the park , making
in all about six acres lor $1,750.
These two questions were dis
cussed last evening but we go to
press too early to learn the de
cision , but whatever it may be ,
we feel confident the council acted
in every way for tlie best interest
of our city and we earnestly hope
they will have the hearty cooperation
eration of our citizens in pushing
to a successful end these weighty
propositions now before them ,
