Falls City is the wettest town on the map of Nebraska. >r, Miner is the only dry can didate elected. When avowed prohibitionist tide to the polls in a saloon carriage, as was the case Tues day, it makes the natives sit up itnd take notice. Hx-Gov. I’oynter tell dead in the Governor’s office Monday, just alter concluding a speech advocating the signing of the tight o’clock saloon closing law. The patrons of the schools and the taxpayers of the dis trict should control the policy of the school board in every thing concerning school affairs. If any teacher demands the tight to control the general management of the schools and to dictate whom the board shall elect as superintendent, the sooner that teacher is taught the impertinence of such con duct, the better it will be tor all concerned, THE LATE CAMPAIGN Now that the tumult is over, let's get down to business. The majority of the voters 1 ave declared emphatically lor a wet town and that settles it. While the Tribune favored tlie losing side, both on questions ol principle and the personel of tin ticket, we promise the incoming administration our hearty co operation and support in every thing pertaining to tlie general welfare._ TAE MAJORITY RULES We are in favor of the majori ty ruling and are therefore op posed to any remonstances be ing tiled against the issuance of saloon licenses. Sucli action only tends to create turther strife and prolong a disagreea ble condition. Besides, if every home saloon keeper was denied a license, outsiders would come in and.take their places and nothing in the way Of closing the saloons would be accom plished. TIie people have spoken and their voice should end the whole matter. _ A GREAT ENTERPRISE Kansas City is financing a ooat line at a cost of $1,000,0*>0. The government has made ap propropriations to open the Missouri river for navigation, and with wonderful spirit Kan sas City is taking advantage of the situation. A boat line such as proposed will prove of great benefit to Richardson county farmers, es pecially those in the northeast section. It will furnish a local market for all the grain, stock and apples raised in the hills of Barada and Arago and will make that land among the most valuable in the county. FALLS CITY ISHMALITE Practically the whole of south eastern Nebraska s dry except ing Falls City. The dry ma jorities were greatly Sucre.used in every city where the expori ment was tried last year, Au i • n's dry majority increasing from 7 to !'8 votes. Here is the roli call.

DAYLIGHT SALOONS (iov. .Shellenbarger has ap proved the i igbt-hour closing law for saloons. < ireat pressure was brought to bear ipon him to veto the law. special train having- been rushed into Hneoln from Omaha, crowded w th those who desired him to veto the bill. (iov. Shelleubarger has proved himself a good deal of a man His judgment is good and his courage caanot b*• disputed. In great contrast with Mr Bryan’s attitude of playing po! itics and refusing to help the county option law, for fear of losing the liquor vote, is (iov. Shellenbarger's courageous stand in favor 01 decency and sobriety. With hardly an exception the patrons of the school are de manding the election of Mr. Hurst as superintendent. The school board should heed this demand without further delay.

A man over ni the courthouse was joking a man who hadn't so very much hair about Ids approaching baldness the oile r day, when Pan Linns, a cl< rk. said : “That reminds me of the story of the red-headed harbor who was al ways joking one of his customers about his lack of hair. The man stood it as long as he could. One day he went into the shop and the bark r began again. “ M suppose,’ said the barber, as the man took the chair, ‘that tiny had run out of hair when tin y came to you and so you- lost out.’ “ *XV>/ said the man, looking up at the harbor’s red head, ‘nil they had Jett was ml hair and 1 told them just to keep it/’’—Indianapo lis Star. TRAINING THE YOUNG. Children who have not learned obedience go into the world i-rippled. '1'he world belongs to the trained' men and the trained nation. 'J'wo nations have come strongly to the) front in recent yc,.zs—Germany, which subjects her sons to the1 severest possible discipline, and Japan, the country in which hoys: are brought np in the faith that) they must think of their emperor first, their duly to their ancestors' second and themselves last of all. While the lesson of obedience should j be taught in the colleges, home is the best place for its inculcation.— ' Hamilton Maine. GENTLE REPROOF. Henry H. Stanford, for several years the leading man with Sir Henry Irving's company, tells this ■ good storv of the famous actor: “Sir Henry’s wit was of an almost Voltairian character. Once while 1 was rehearsing ‘Faust’ with him at the Lyceum theater in London—we wore doing the llroekin scene and ho had occasion to reprove an army of exuberant supers—ho stopped the rehearsal and all was silence. Then, I in that quiet, grim way of his, lie said: ‘Very charming—but you must remember that you are in hell —not picknieking on Hampstead Heath.’ ” IN HIS LINE. An ambitious politician, who has at various times been a candidate for public oHicc, lias a son, a lad cf eight, who, meditating upon the un certainties of kingly existence, at last asked his mother: “If the king of England should die, who would be king?” “The prince of Wales.” “And if lie should die, who would 1 be king?" His i i tl - r turned the question off in some way, when the hoy, with a deep biv.i; h, said : “Well, anyway, l hope pa won’t I try for it.”—Harper’s Magazine. REVENGE. ’’I," - hired tl e popular author, “have signed an exclusive contract with one magazine.” “But now that you are famous,” protested a friend, “other maga zines will be writing for your work.” “And I shall decline their offers, with thanks. I have even ordered some printed slips."—Exchange. BOOK “MADE” CECIL RHODES Forceful Man Confessed to Influence Cast Over Him by Its Perusal. Even rrrh a • avarful personality Cecil l.'ln«li - confessed that die .ulin" of one particular book had made him "what he was.” “1 had been read in" a hook called ‘The Martyrdom of Man,’ by Win wood hVftdo -a most remarkable work, which by its clever arguments aiii-t the existence of a Divinity i aid not fail to make a profound i iprc'Hon upon the mind of any one who had thought seriously over this particular matter,''says Princess P.ulziwill iu “My ltd ollections." “(•»« day during lunch at i irootc > huur I accidentally mentioned it, adding that it was uncanny and had i a used me sonic sleepless nights. It bodes started. “ ‘1 know the hook,' lie exclaimed; ‘it is a creepy book. I read it the irat year l was in Kimberley, fresh from my father's parsonage, and you may imagine the impression which it produced upon me in such a place as a mining camp.’ “Ho stopped for a moment, (lien added in a serious tone which I can hear even now, ‘That hook has made me what I am,’" -Gentlewoman. WISE AND OTHERWISE. Wise—It is never too late to learn. Otherwise—Yes; but sometimes we find nothing left to learn except (hat it is too late! SAVING TROUBLE. Some one got bark from vacation t lie other day amt walked into It is job. The ollice force rose as one man and a lad) stenographer io greet him. But lie raised his hand authoritatively, imposing silence, stuck the other hand in his pocket, and before anybody could say a word suddenly tiling to his associates a number of neatly printed little cards reading 11ms : “Yes, 1 had a perfectly dandy time. “Oh, canoeing, fishing, walks and drives, and all that kind of tiling. “Yes, the weather was simply bully. “Not on your life! I could scarce ly tear myself away. “Thank you. I ought to. I’m feeling pretty fit.” And without a word be resumed the even tenor of his work. ARE WOMEN DISCOURTEOUS? A western writer holds that, wom en all over the country are less con siderate of those behind the counter than men. That the clerks feel that women regard them as inferior and often suffer in -ilenee from the atti tude of superiority displayed by many of the women customers. He holds that a man making purchases in the men'- department will pass some little pleasantry and meet the men as equals, if only for the time being. The above will supply food for considerable thought and careful observation. Perhaps tho New Eng land women arc the exception, to prove the rule.—Boston Herald. A CRITICISM. Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, the gov ernment's famous food expert, was talking at Mackinac island about impure whiskies. “[ once saw an old Kentuckian,” said Dr. Wiley, "take up a glass of whisky, sniff it, set it down and shake his head sadly. “‘One thing,’ he said, ‘was nevef seen coming through the rye, and that's the kind of whisky they send ns nowadays.’” GENTEEL RESTRAINT. Judge—You'd better be careful or 1 shall commit you for contempt of court. The Lady—Don't he ’ard on me, ver worship. I’m doin’ me best ter conceal me feel in's.—The Sketch.
