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.
A report as to the progress
being made in the citv improve
ments was heard, and we are
glad to say that with all condi
tions favorable, it is hoped that
within the next thirty days the
new plants will be completed, all
connections made and our city
enjoying one of the best water
and light plants possible to pro
duce.
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
display was a success from a
financial point also, as many of
the ranges were placed in differ
ent homes, as well as orders
taken for future delivery.
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. Derk ot McPherson Co.,
Kansas and Edward Adams of
Denver, Col., the men who were
held by our police on suspicion of
being those wanted for burglary
at Stella, have been released as
sufficient evidence was not in
hand to retain them.
Money
Several thousand dollars of
private funds to loan on good
farm security. Want to place it
I out at once- Henry C. Smith
