CHIRON BENEFIT CONCERT
INCLEMENT WEATHER KEPT
MANY AWAY
“The Finest Musicals Ewer Given in
Falls City.' A Great
Many Say.
_
A splendid benefit concert was
presented last Tuesday night at the
Methodist church by Miss Grace Cam
eron for the Home and Foreign Mis
sionary societies. She was assisted
by some of our best local talent, who
were given a liberal sliare of ap
plause.
Mrs. Simon Davies is conceded an
unusually fine accompanist and her
accompaniments Tuesday night were
faultless. The audience paid the duet
cf Mrs. Davies and Mrs. Gist a much
deserved compliment and Mrs. Gist’s
Nocturne by Schumann called for an
encore.
Miss Alice Cleaver was heartily
encored, as her violin solos are al
ways appreciated.
Frank Caffery of Mound City, Mo.,
is a young reader *>f talent and in
‘‘Pancake Sketches” showed ability
that should bo cultivated. ‘‘The,
Dude’’ was equally pleasing.
ftU3s Cameron seemed pleased
with the ovation given her when she
appeared. She was more than gen
erous v icli her favors and those who
failed to hear her missed a treat, for
it is long since Falls City heard a
concert of equal merit.
Ti. ■ sweetness, the flexibility and
beauty ot her vioce was shown to
SooJ advantage in '‘Pleurez Ales'
Yeux" by Alassanett, sang in Italian.
The compass and volume of her voice
is remarkable and its sweetness and
sympathy steals into the heart until
you feel with her in every t^’ne and
word. “Calm as the Night” was the
encore and it was beautifully sang.
The Aria from La Traviata by Ver
di, also in Italian, showed to advan
tage her wonderful range of voire;
her trills and the wonderful ease with
whi.h , t ■ :nbi s high “■■' could not
fail ;.j al to tr; lovers.
Shi si! unuii:.'.akablt power in
tiii; nun:!: .. By request she sang
“The Last Rot of Summer” and the
beauty of the old favorite was only
enhanced by hr-r splendid voice.
Miss Cleaver played a violin ob
ligato for Aliss Cameron in the Lul
lady from Jocelyn and in sympathy,
and feeling she held her audience
until iii. last note died away. A
car- by lfttle song, “Disappointments”
l'cl . and. pleased all.
I ri in classic music to child
skciehc.-. Miss Cpmeron turned at
once a d showed her marked ability
as an impersonator. She sang “If
T!i I’mihy Little Roy Loves Ale"
with t!; undeveloped childish voice

abruptly, kicking itself loose from
the buggy, and ran down the alley
with the shafts attached.
John Mosiman was unhitching one
of his horses in the alley as the
runaway animal came through and
tried to stop it. In his efforts to
slacken the animal up, Mr. Mosiman’s

{SUCCESSFUL CHAUTAUQUA
IN SPITE OF RAINY WEATHER
SUCCESS GREETED US.
Tha Association Has Money Left
in the Treasury--Another
One Next Year.
Since our last issue the Chautauqua
lias drawn to a close. Contrary to
the expectations of the management
after the rainy-weather start, the
Chautauqua was a success financially.
Fronl an educational and entertain
ment standpoint it was also a suc
cess. With a possible few exceptions
ail were well satisfied with the sel
ection of talent that had been provid
ed for the occasion.
The Chautauqua association still
have money left In the treasury and
as soon as convenient will publish a
statement of their condition.
The lecture by Ralph Parlette on
Thursday afternoon was full of side
splitting puns. Mr. Parlette came
well introduced to this part of the
country, Rev. Teeter having known
him in Ohio years ago and our neigh
bor Hiawatha newspaper editor, Ew
ing Herbert, being a personal friend.
Both have words of praise as to his
ability and they made no mistake.
He WAS good.
Mason’s Jubilee Singers made
their first appearance on Thursday
evening. They entertained the as
sembly ■■ itli old plantation melodies,
camp m eting shouts, and jubilee
songs. The company gave good sat
isfaction and especial comment was
heard on the talent of the pianist,
who had the ability to play any music
at sight, translating from one key to
another as she played.
Friday was Hobson day. The man
of Merrlmac fame drew a great
crowd on Friday afternoon. The old
soldiers of the Veteran Post No. 84,
of Falls City attended this meeting in
a' body, occupying neats in the front
which had been reserved for them.
Some of these old gerfllemon's pat
riotism was so gfi at ns to persuade
them to get out of their sielt bed to
attend. The veterans gave the “three
chi rs" in a body, which ph ased Mr.
Hi bson greatly as could be seen by
the brightness of his face. Mr. Hob
son's subject was, “Our Country as
a Nation Among the Nations of the
World.’ One couldn’t keep from
•.von’-h ring how such a young man a.
Mr. Hobson appeared to be could ob
tain so many point . of information.
On a whole his lecture was inspiring
and instructive and his personality
pleasing.
Friday evening was mostly taken up
■with the entertain uenl by Edwin

Heat Killed Horse.
Special from Verdon.
While hauling a load of brick to
Humboldt Thursday of last week Clair
Coleman had the misfortune to lose
a horse from the extreme heat. This
is quite a loss to Mr. Coleman, as
the animal was a jtood one and he
needs him badly just now.
A Very Bad Arm.
Frankie Gist, _who broke his arm
last week, is having a very serious
; time of it. Tive arm was broken in
1 two places and is causing him con
j siderable pain.
THE HUMBOLDT BAND.
It Made a ••Hit” at the Falls City
Chautauqua.
Our neighbors from Humboldt
furnished us n band for the last
three days of the Chautauqua. The
hoys made a “lilt” by their excel
lent music ami their willingness to
play, at any time that a lull In the
program appeared.
This organization has been in ex
istence for many years in our neigh
boring town, under the efficient
training of Prof. A..Watzek, who can
look with pride at the result of his
patieneb and careful training. The
band numbers some twenty-five pieces
and some of these members have
grown from boys to men of family
without the loss of membership, it
is but just to say that this is a uni
form band and new suits were order
ed several weeks ago, but greatly
to the chagrin of the leader, did not
arrive for this occasion. The class
of music furnished by Prof. Watzek
and his faithful following is second
to none in the state and those who
heard the sacred concert on Sunday
were .loud in their praise of Its ren
dition.
In connection with tire band the
leader lias a strong orchestra of
fourteen pieces which handles the
i latest and most popular productions
from the best authors. We would like
to see arrangements made for fre
quent concerts in this city from this
organization.

ThJ Missouri Pacific to Make of
Falls City An Important
Terminal Point.
In n “special" from Atchison to
the Kansas City Times, dated August
1. the following appeared on the front
page of that paper:
"Falls City, Neb., will succeed Au
burn, Nel>., us headquarters of the
Omaha division of the Missouri Pa
cific. Falls City is equally distant
irom Kansas City and Omaha, and a
new 18-stall roundhouse will be erect
ed there. Several grading gangs are
at work there now. Heal estate* in
Falls City Is being held at a very
high figure, because of tin* contem
plated removal of division headquart
ers to that point. Next spring tin*
work of reducing the grades on (lie
division between Kansas City and
Omaha will in* started."
Seme time ago the Atchison people
were inclined to concede the divi
sion to Falls City very reluctantly—
in fact The Globe wasn't going to let
us have it at all, but from the above
“special" we are inclined to believe
they are changing their minds.
Now let's all "boost" for a

, It Wasn’t Us.
We take this method of Informing
the public, that the recent account of
a Falls City confectioner being arrest
ed for making impure ice cream,
which appeared in the state papers,
DID NOT have reference to us.
The name of the firm arrested did
not appear in the article and we
therefore feared that the public
might think it was our cream, as we
too sold cream on the chautauqua
grounds. .
We have NEVER been fined by
the inspector and our ice cream has
been examined many times by him.
It has always stood the test and we
guarantee its purity and cleanliness.
We solicit your further patronage.

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB.
A Meeting on Monday Night—Very
Little Business.
The commercial club had a meeting
on Monday evening and besides al
lowing a few small bills took up the
matter of paving for discussion.
After talking over the different
methods of paving, they decided to
use their Influence In having the base
of the paving composed of concrete,
four Inches thick— 1 part of Portland
cement, three parts of sand and six
parts of crushed stone. The top to be
of paving brick, each weighing nine
pounds, laid on edge.
They took up the matter of having
the wagon road now running east and
west, south of the new division, to be
changed to run north of the
Burlington track. This would relieve
danger of accident in crossing so
many tracks. A committee was ap
pointed to look Into the matter.
