Broke the Record.
Fred Nettlebeck is very proud
of the fact that he broke the re
cord while in Colorado in making
the trip from Manitou to Pike's
Peak. He started from the for
mer place at 6 o'clock in the mor
ning and reached the top of the
Peak at 11:15 : , covering the dis
tance in five hours and fifteen
minutes. Out of the crowd that
made the start but two completed
the trip , Fred and one other
gentleman. Fred is a little puffed
up over this record , and says if
you don't believe this just come
to him and he'll show you the cre
dentials.
Will Leave Falls City.
Next Sunday Rev. Dunkleber-
ger will preach his farewell ser
mon in this city at the Christian
church , and sever his connection
with that organization.
Rev. Dunkleberger and his es
timable family haye made many
friends here , both in and out of
his church ) who will be sorry to
see them go , and the Tribune es
pecially , as we feel indebted to
him for the many favors he has
bestowed upon us , and wherever
he decides to locate he may fee !
sure of our best wishes-
ACID IN THE DEMIJOHN.
Joe Varncr Has Narrow Escape
From Serious Injuries.
We would advise 3011 not to
ask Joe Varner anything about
that little experience he had
last Frida3r , as it is something1
lie would rather not talk about.
In handling the express at the
depot that day , he came across
a demijohn.Now a demijohn
looks good to a great maii3' people
ple , likewise did this one to Joe ,
but he hadn't figured correctly
on the contents , which happened
to be acid used in testing cream ,
and which is very poweriul , as
the results will show. In pick
ing up the package the cork
flew out throwing the contents
on Mr. Varner , almost burning
his clothes from his body , even
to his shoes and socks , but lor-
tunatel } ' did not reach the flesh.
Joe was iu an awful plight , and
had it happened in the days
when the telephones were not in
use , he would have been com
pelled to go home in a barrel ,
but he went to the phone and
told Jim Pickett ol his predica
ment , who immediately came to
the rescue with a new outfit , and
tins is the reason for Joe's
spruced up appearance , and not
because his wife is out of town ,
as many supposed.
However , it was a close shave
and hereafter Joe will have noth
ing more to do with the handling
of the express.
MOW YOUR WEEDS
We Should Begin at Once to Clean
up For Ghautauqua.
In just three weeks our chau-
tauqua will open its gates , and
we would suggest that every res-
idcnt mow their weeds and get
their property in the best pos
sible condition before then. No
doubt thousands of visitors will
be in our city during the assem
bly and nothing will give them
as good an impression as beauti
ful lawns and clean streets.
We feel sure the city officials
will do their part in cleaning up
the streets and all city property
and it is hoped the citi/.ens will
display enough pride in their
home town by maiding their
property as attractive as pos
sible , so that when our visitors
go home they can take with
them the memory ol one of the
prettiest towns they ever visit
ed. Do your part.
Band Benefit.
The proprietor of the Electric
theater , after hearing our band
practice on Monday night , recog
nized their ability , and realizing
the good a band is to a town , de
cided to aid them and at once of
fered them his place of amuse
ment for next Tuesday eyening
as benefit night. This is a liberal
offer on the part of Mr. Bower
and it is hoped every citizen in
town will turn out and aid the
band on that evening.
OUR CHAUTAUQUA DAILY
The Tribune has decided to issue a Daily
Paper during" Chautauqua week. The exact
plans have not been decided upon , but will be
announced later.
WILL CHANGE LOCATION.
The Leo Cider and Vinegar Com
pany Purchases New Site.
The Leo Cider and Vinegar
company last week purchased
from Ben Poteet ten acres of land
adjoining the city pnrk and will
at once move their plant to that
location , where it will be en
larged and many improvements
made. The business of this in
stitution has made a wonderful
growth since opening up in this
city about two years ago , com.
pletel3T outgrowing their present
quarters , thus making this-move
necessary. The Leo Cider and
Vinegar factory is an industry
of which our citizens are all
justly proud.
A Streak of Hard Luck.
John Kloepfel went to Kulo
the first of the week to assist his
son , Henry , in his lurm work.
When he returned he informed
us that on Monda3f a fine mare
belonging to his son was badly
cut in the wire fence , and on the
same day the team hitched to a
binder ran away smashing up
the machine and throwing Henry
off bruising him up in such a
manner as to laj' him up for sev
eral days.
Baptist Church
The services for Sunday will
be held as usual. Sunday school
at ( J:45 : a. in. followed by the
preaching service at 11 o'clock.
The evening service begins at 8
o'clock. Prayer meeting Wednes
day at S p. m. Our congrega
tion is increasing and we feel
that our work is growing in
spirituality and loyalty. Come
and worship with us.
Pastor , G. F.
WILL HAVE BAND.
Organization Perfected at a Meeting
Monday Night.
For some time an effort has been
made to get our band together
and reorganize that body , and on
Monday eyening the boys met in
Wahl's hall for that purpose and
succeeded in perfecting an organi
zation by electing the following
officers :
President Ralph Jenne.
Secretary Guy Crook.
Treasurer George Lyon.
The boys have gone to work
with a vengeance and are deter
mined to have a band in a few
weeks anyone would be pro yd of.
They have several good contracts
in view and give it out that they
are now open for all engagements.
The name , "The Falls City
Merchants' Band" , has been
changed to the "Falls City Mili
tary Band" .
We feel sure the boys will make
a success of the band and hope
our citizens will help them at
every opportunity. We all realize
what a band means for a town
and are glad that we are t'o have
one.
Win Two More.
The game last Thursday after ,
noon with Mound City was a
very poor exhibition of ball
playing , even worse than that
of the day before , and proved
that the visitors will have to get
about nine new players if they
expect to meet this aggregation
again. They are a nice bunch
of fellows , all right , but they
just can't play ball. As to the
score , we really do not know the
final outcome , but at last re
ports it was 14 to 7 and our boys
still making the rounds.
On Tuesday we expected to
see a good game but were again
disappointed. The Preston In
dians were represented as the
best over , but fell an easy prey
to our bo3' . The score was 8
to 7 , but was not as good a game ,
as the score would indicate , as
it should have been a shut-out
aiuc , our boys getting careless ,
knowing they did not have to
| ) lay ball.
On next Thursday , however ,
will be the game of the season ,
when Hiawatha comes over.
There will be no foolingon that
day and everybody will be in
the game and play ball. Don't
miss this game.
WITH OUR CITY DADS.
Much Business Transacted at Thcjr
Meetings This Week.
The city council met at their
rooms Monday evening with all
members present except Maust ,
and transacted considerable
business.
The sidewalk committee gof
busy and the clerk was instruct
ed to issue notices and have the
police serve same on property
owners of condemned sidewalks
in the third ward.
The city clerk was also in
structed to advertise for bids
for coal for water and light plant
and lor hauling same.
The council instructed the city
engineer to make plans and spe
cifications of mains and standpipe -
pipe , giving si/.e of mains from
well to the southwest corner of
Joe Miles' block just west of the
High school grounds , also the
same to a point opposite 10th
street on the park grounds , and
show total cost in either place
of location of stand pipe. After
a general discussion of the sub
ject the council adjourned until
the next evening.
Tuesday evening the question
of the location of the stand pipe
was taken up , and on motion of
Ha'hn , seconded by I. 13. Whit-
aker , it was decided to locate
same on the Miles property , on
block 15 , situated one block west
of High school.
The specifications for water
works , as read by city engineer ,
were adopted.
Council then adjourned to meet
again on next Monday evening.
To Our Fruit Grow/ers.
When the Horticultural soci
ety meets in this city next Tues
day and Wednesday , it is hoped
they will be greeted b3T not only
a large and enthusiastic crowd ,
but that our many Iruit growers
will place on display samples of
the fruit raised by them. There
will be yisitors here from all
parts of the state and now is a
good opportunity to prove to
them that Richardson county is
the garden spot of the state. A
fine display could be brought in
from around Barada , where the
best fruit imaginable is raised.
With very little trouble , a fine
display could be made which
would redound to the credit of
this county.
The "White City. "
Such is the thought that enter
one's mind upon their first sight
of the Chautauqua grounds as
they appear today.
The large auditorium has been
painted a snow white as haye also
the fences and everything need
ing paint , and when the Chautau
qua opens everything will be it
the best of order.
If you have not visited the
grounds recently we would advise
you to take a walk that way am'
see what a pretty park we have.
The residence has been move (
from the grounds , and in its place
is a large flower bed , while many
others are scattered about over
the grounds. The grass is in fine
condition , and many trees haye
been planted. It is now only i
matter of a very short time unti
we have one of the finest parks
imaginable.
SOMETHING DOIN'

the usual large crowd at the de

people in town. Reports come
from Nebraska City that while
