BRYAN GOES DOWN TO DEFEAT FOR THE THIRD TIME Nebraska and County Go Over te Enemy but With Taft in the Lead We Will Prosper Tuesday, election day dawned bright and clear, and all nature seemed to be in harmony with the republicans. The polls opened at S o'clock and from then to the time of closing the scene at all voting places was one of great activity. Everybody worked hard and a big vote was the result, very few remaining at home. 1 lie results in many of the pres cinds were heard during the night, and earlv in the game it was apparent that good old Rich ardson had slipped a cog and lin ed up in the democratic column, all due to the fight made on the county option issue, but as many a good man lias gone down to de feat in a good cause, paving the wav for those who are to follow, our candidates ail feel that the sacrifice was worth while. Nebraska, too, has gone over to the enemy, and while this was expected with the head of the ticket, the balance of the defeat was a disappointment. But with the national ticket, how different. Taft snowed Brvan under so completely, that sureiy the end is here. The first returns gave Bryan s majority of 15,000 in Nebraska, but at the time of going to press this had dwindled down to less 10,000 with many counties to hear from. The election table on the first page will tell you the vote as if stands at present. The official: returns will be given next week. CITY COUNCIL Regular Meeting Held By Our City Dads Monday Night Our Citv fathers met in regular session at the council rooms Mon day night. Aside from the reg ular business, sidewalk reports were made, numerous complaints listened to and many bills paid.

Draws Many Visitors The display of Majestic Ranges at J. C. Tanner’s hardware store this week has proven a big draw ing card, the store being filled all day with interested ones.

The hot biscuits and coffee served during the week were greatly appreciated, while the cake baking demonstration was witnessed by many of our ladies. The Majestic is all right and won many new friends in Falls City. Were Released John G. Divine of LaSalle Co., 111., Jas.
