With a Teachers’ Institute anil
« Chautauqua in session at tbe
same time, Falls City should not
complain of the week being dull.
With seven presidential candi
dates before us to select from, the
voters should be able to lincl one
candidate who is satisfactory to
them.
Each of tbe two leading candi
dates for tbe presidency have a
brother (’barley. This is a case
wheie “the kettle should not call
the pot black. ”
The Democrats of Missouri have
nominated a man named Cowherd
as their candidate for governor.
How much there may be in tbe
name has not yet been seen.
Mr. Bryan learned on Wednes
day, if not before, that he was noni
inated by tbe Democrats as their
candidate for president. He with
stood the surprise with bis usual
equanimity, however.
One difference between the Re
publican candidate for the presi
dency and the Democratic candi
date is that one has been unusually
successful in tilling public offices,
while the other lias been a persist
ent seeker of them but never suc
cessfully tilled any office.
Senator Elkins of West Vir
ginia assures Mr. Taft that be will
carry that state by at least 115,000
majority. There is uo objection
to that majority except that unless
West Virginia does belter than
that it may stand near the bottom
of the list of states furnishing
large majorities for Taft.
Judging from the number of
automobiles which are being sold
to the farming community around
and about Falls City, we are led to
believe that the farmers are not
troubled about their bank accounts.
When they can haul a load of corn
to market and return home with
$35 to $38 for the one load, they
will not ask for a return of the
times when a 50 bushel load of corn
brought only $<>.50.
So far the weather has been
ideal for holding a Chautauqua.
Good weather, splendid talent,
wise advertising, combined with
other fortunate circumstances have
gone far to make this year's Chau
tauqua a success. While it is not
known that any plans have been
made for a Chautauqua next year,
we feel safe iu predicting that the
Chautauqua will be a permaneut
thing in our community.
The primary elections have al
ready been held iu many states.
Nebraska will hold her’s on Sep
tember let. Never before has
there been so strong a tendency to
place all of the power of govern
ment in the hands of the people.
There is as good reason for nomi
nations to be made by the people
as there is for the election to be
by them. If a few make the nom
inations, what good does it do to
have the people elect the men
which they had no voice iu uom
The Palls City State Bank
Will be pleased to loan you what money
you need on approved security. This
bank desires your business and will do
anything consistent with good banking
to merit it. If you are not already a
customer we extend to you a hearty in
vitation to become one.

The tune is fast drawing near
when the attention of the voters
wdl be directed to the selection of
candidates for the varions state and
county offices. George I). Car
rington ,of Nemaha county, is a
candidate for the nomination of
State Superintendent on the Re
publican ticket and hein« a pro
duct of southeastern Nebraska
should receive the support of
Richardson county. This section
of the state has not furnished a
man for that office for many years
and now is the opportunity to have
one from near home. George D.
Carrington is well qualified for the
office and is worthy of support.
Iii 1892 tin* “paramount” ques
tion, hh Mr. Bryan viewed it, was
the tariff question; in 189t> it was
It; to 1; in 1900 it was imperial
ism; in 1904 it was government
ownership of railroads, and now in
this year of our Lord, 1908, it is
‘‘SheII the people rule”. Has not
the Peerless Leader yet learned of
the ruling of the American people
in 189(1, when they shut him out
of the presidency by a plurality of
001,854 votes and of the later ruling
in 1900, when they ruled against
him with a plurality of 849,455
votes? If not, another ruling will
be handed down on November 3,
1908, and if Mr. Bryan will listen
to the voice of young America, he
will hear it say “You are hereby
elected for thethird time to remain
at home. ”
NEBRASKAN HONORED.
The selection ol William Hay
ward to be secretary of the re
publican national committee is
not only a recognition of the en
ergetic work he has done as
chairman, but also a compliment
to Nebraska in bringing one of
its native sons to the fore in the
arena of national politics.
Mr. Hayward is a typical Ne
braskan. lie has made his way
in politics by straight forward
dealing and without any special
pull outside of the friends he lias
made through his service to the
party. He is characteristic of
the young man in politics.
The secretaryship of the re
publican national committee is
a position second only in the
political firmament to that of
the national chairmanship itself.
It is a position of confidential re
lationship with the national
campaign movement and carries
with it great responsibilities as
well as important duties.
That Mr. Hayward will meas
ure up to the demands ol his new
place and make good there as he
has done as head of the state or
ganization may be safely antici
pated. It will not hurt Nebraska
republicans, either to have one
of their own number close to the
center of national political ac
tivity.—Omaha Bee.
August time, tails on the nerves.
But that spiritless, no ambition feeling
ean be easily and quickly altered by
taking what is known by druggists
every where as Dr. Shoop's Restorative.
Within 48 hours after beginning to use
the Restorative, improvement will be
noticed. Of course, full health will not
immediately return. The gain, how
ever, will surely follow. And best of
all, you will realize and feel your
strength and ambition as it is return
ing. Outside influences depress first
the “inside nerves" then the stomach.
Heart, and Kidneys will usually fail.
Strengthen these failing nerves with
Dr. Shoop’s Restorative and see now
quickly health will be yours again.

FOR STATE SUPT.
SUPT GEORGE D CARRINGTON
IS AFTER IT
He Is Making a Hard Campaign and
Will Try Hard for the
Nomination
There are three special quali
fications which a candidate for
state superintendent should pos
sess he should have honesty
and integrity, ability, conipe
tency and initiative, industry
and capacity for work. Geo. I).
Carring jr., present county sup
erintendent of Nemaha county
has these qualifications and
solicits the support of the Re
publicans at the primaries Sept.
1 for the nomination for state
superintendent.
SUPT. GEO. D. CARRINGTON JR.
He is making a bard cam
paign, single banded and alone,
and asks for tbe nomination
strictly upon merit. His work
as superintendent of Nemaha
county has been remarkable.
He believes in tbe common
schools and strives to advance
them. He devoted much time
and thought to the rural schools
and knows their needs. He
wants to see all tbe children re
ceive the best educational ad
vantages at home and the very
largest possible returns for the
money invested in schools. He
is one of the common people and
his life has been tilled with bard
work, and has worked from boy
hood earning his own clothes,
and way through school to the
position he now occupies. He
is a writer, speaker, educator,
untiring worker and a gentle
man.
It is refreshing to find a man
running for public office who
stands out firmly for the school
interests and refuses to make
any promises, except to the
people, even though so doing
might bring him manyvotes.
Let me quote from a letter
written to me privately. I am
quoting this so the reader may
know’ what Mr. Carrington is
saying to his friends privately
as well as in a public way. This
was written me with no idea of
publication.
•‘If I am elected I will owe no
interest, company, institution,
or individual a thing, except I
will owe a host of friends an
unlimited and unpayable quan
tity of gratitude and shall al
ways seek opportunity to ex
press it to them and my appre
ciation of their kindness and
help. 1 am promising Nebraska
an efficient service and that is
all and should be enough. But
there is no interest nor any
schoolman in this state need
have any fear of me so long as
they are right; do right, are
competent and square. ”
Now doesn't that sound like
what we want as the spirit of
the head of our public school
system?
I’m for Mr. Carrington for
stale superintendent because he
has all the qualifications and
above all is a man. I hope, and
believe Richardson county will
cast the solid republican vote
for him at the primaries. You
will make no mistake.

HANDED US ONE
Continued from First Paire.
Falls City and the game ended
5 to 1 in favor of Atchison.
Score by innings:
Atchison.0-0-20.0-1 0-1-1—5
Falls City. ...0-0 0-1-0 0 0 0-0 1
NOTES.
It was not an errorless game
but was above the average in
this respect.
Tommy Clines did the umpir
ing and proved very satisfactory
Heacock played the ninth in
ning all alone.
A pretty double play by our
boys in the eighth was the feat
ure of the game.
That short stop of Atchison’s
got about everything he went
after.
Schmelzel in jured his hand in
the eighth inning and Heacock
finished for him, and the visitors
didn't seem to care about stand
ing up to the plate either.
Atchison has a tine team and
anyone would have to play ball
to beat them.
The Second Came
The ball game of Friday re
sulted in another defeat for our
boys, and it was an awful one,
too, 14 to 4, but our boys are not
discouraged and contend that
Atchison cannot do it again.
The boys explain their defeat by
the fact that Heacock hurt his
arm in the practice before the
game, spraining it at the elbow
so badly that the pain was un
bearable, and as Schinelzel had
a busted linger from the game of
the day before, this left us with
only Prior and Craig to put in
the box, and they proved easy
prey for the visitors. The out
come was so disastrous, that the
boys became discouraged, hence
the result.
A two week’s practice is all
they ask, then they want another
game with the same team.

TUESDAY DOINGS
DR EUGENE MAY AND DENTON
C GROWL THE SPEAKERS
The Imperial Entertainers Gave
Two Splendid Enter
tainments
The afternoon session was
opened by a number of pleasing
selections by the Imperial Enter
tainers. given as a sort of a pre
lude to Dr, Eugene May, who
was the speaker for the afternoon.
/
Miss Mabel Ivellog proved her
self a master of the violin in the
rendition of a number of choice
selections, and Miss Stella Rich
pleased all with her) rich mezzo
soprano voice.
Dr. Eugene May of Washing
ton was next introduced and for
an hour our people journeyed
with him through Ireland, great
ly enjoying the word pictures of
the land of the Shillalah and
Shamrock, his Irish wit and
drollery bringing forth bursts of
applause and laughter. He also
gave his experience upon his first
trip across the ocean twenty-seven
years ago, of its ups and downs
and the lasting impression upon
his mind of the text “Cast thy
bread upon the Waters.” He
then gave a ve,ry instructive ac
count of the conditions of the
water, its depth, weight, light
and darkness, animal and plant
matter, wireless telegraphy and
the storms, all proving his mast
ery of the subject. Space will
not permit us to give all the good
things Dr. May presented to the
people, but as a brief summary
will say it was one of the most
instructive and entertaining lect
ures one could imagine- Dr.
May closed his talk with a splen
did .rendition of the recitation,
“Mistress Malone.’’
The afternoon session closed
with a tew comic selections by C.
L. Abbott and several musical
numbers by H. J. Morris Cthe
novelty musician.
The lecturer for the evening was
Denton C. Crowl in his famous
Sam Jones lecture, “Philosophy,
Facts and fun.’’ As anl imitator
Mr. Crowl has no superior, and
many of the people on this oc
casion, who had listened to both
gentleman, were heard to remark
that the similarity was marvel
ous- in fact, “Sam Jones will
never be dead as long as Crowl
lives.” A most interesting and
pleasing program closed with
another splendid entertainment
by the Imperial Entertainers.

BEST TIME TO CHOOSE HAT
When Woman Was Looking Her
Worst Chosen as the Proper
Period for Selection.
''
Two women had l>een shopping
nearly all da\ and were as warm and
1 weary as the circumstances warrant
jet 1. As they were handed their
! change at the last counter one ex
j claimed: “Mow for an ice cream
soda and homo!”
“Mot for me," returned the other,
with a martyr-like expression on her
face. “I’m going to buy a hat.”
"A hat? Why, you're all tired
out and your hair is coining down.”
“I know it, ami that is the very
reason. When you start out well
brushed and fresh almost any hat
will look good on you, but one that
looks decent on me as 1 am now is
the hat I want. That will be a true
test. I always buy my hats when I
am looking a little worse than usual.
So you go for your ice cream soda,
while I choose between a Merry
Wid< *v and a ‘Soul Kiss.’”
“Mo, no,” protested the first, “I’ll
■try on a few, too. just to cheer my
self lip.”
VICIOUS BLACKBIRDS.
Thousands of savage blackbirds
infest the city, and in some of the
suburbs they are so bold and vicious
that dogs are kept on the jump avoid
ing them, men on bicycles are some
times chased for blocks and pedes
trians pecked on the heads if they
happen under trees where there are
nests. The birds usually fight in
pairs.
If a man with a very white hat
comes along they swoop down, beat
it wi*h their wings and clam at it
with the rage of wounded eagles.
Frequently they aim their sharp
beaks at the victim’s eyes and he has
difficulty in defending himself. The
painful yelping of cornered canines
attracts flocks of the birds and then
the fur flies.—I.os Angeles corre
spondence San Francisco Chronicle.
KISSED THE PUP GOOD BYE.
Persons who went down to see the
American liner Philadelphia sail for
Southampton witnessed this scene
on the pier:
A man wearing a long raincoat,
accompanied by a handsome woman,
arrived carrying a shaggy-haired yel
low dog. As the pair neared the
gangplank the man turned, and,
kissing the dog on the muzzle, hand
ed it to the woman, the while ad
dressing it:
“Now, baby, take good care of
mamma, and be good to her until I
get back.” ..
Then he turned and, kissing the
woman good-bye, boarded the ship.
There was no cheering.—N. Y.
Times.
SHRINKING VALUES.
"Hello, Teddy, got a new suit?”
“No, sir; It’s papa’s old one.”
"Ah, did mamma cut It down?”
"Oh, no, sir; papa had it washed!”
MAKING BOAT FROM A TREE.
Charles Holman is constructing a
new boat. He discovered a catalpa
tree that has a perfect shape for the
purpose.
It will be constructed on the
steamboat style, and the catalpa tree
makes one solid piece from the top
of the bow to tho stern, it having
just the curve necessary to make a
good shape. The boat will be de
signed primarily for passenger serv
ice, will be about 26 feet long and be
equipped with a six horsepower gaso
line engine.—Morehouse Hustler.
WAS ON.
Latewed—Your brother is such a
considerate boy, my dear.
Mrs. Latewed (suspiciously) —
Why, pet ?
Latewed—Why, I asked him up to
dinner this morning and he wanted
to know if we had a cook, and when
I told him you did the cooking with
your own sweet hands he absolutely
refused to come for fear it would
make vou extra work.—Toledo
Blade.
