Fade away, Miss Chautauqua;
you've had the center of the stage
about long enough. Your high notes
lack that resonant quality you pos
sessed some weeks ago.
No more can the pawnbroker of
Missouri display revolvers In their
windows; while "gun-toting’’ is made
a felony, punishable by two years In
prison or* fines from $10(’ to $1,000,
It Is estimated that every vote cast
at the last primary cost $ 1.7.0 and the
tax payer pays the bill. Under the
old convention system It cost the tax
payers nothing to voice his choice for
public officials.
The summer Is past, but the har
vest has not ended yet, The crops
Of Nebraska are too diversified to
admit of going further In that beau
tiful old bibical quotation until along
in November, when the last "pump
kin" Is safely housed.
Hiawatha,which accords scant fav
ors to a Chautauqua, slobbered all
over Campbell Itros. Circus, and the
"rubes" had to tie actually clubbed
bnck from the elephants, to whom
they persisted in over-feeding with
nuts, apple-cores, and pop corn.
It is now up to the republican par
ty in this county to win this fall. The
Individual support of every republi
can will give every candidate on
that ticket a splendid majority. Are
you ready to work to that end or are
you willing to fill (lie court house
with third and fourth term demo
crats? U is up to the voter, take
your choice.
The government has gone into the
moving picture business,to tlio extent
that modern and improved methods
of farming will be demonstrated (o
tillers of the soil through (lie medi
um of moving pictures. A good
scheme. A few pictures will tell

reading matter.
After a rigid test by government ex
perts at the Kansas City stock yards,
It has been clearly demonstrated that
hog cholera can he cured and entire
ly eliminated. This great cure is
brought about by the use of a serum
—no knife being used nor a single
"innard" removed. You save the wliol
hog, and at eight cents per pound
this Is quite an item.
If Emperor N’ero, Into of Rome,
could have been present at the auto
mobile races at. Indianapolis last
week, how delighted ho would have
been to view the blood and carnage
that strewed the path of the contest
ants. The average Spanish bull
fighter would have been shocked at
the spectacle presented, but old Ne
ro would have gloated over the
sacrifice.
Great minds do not differ so much
after all. In speaking of the re
duced duties of the new tariff, Pres
ident Taft says: "They are low enou
gh in case of abnormal increase of
demand and raising of prices, to
permit the possibility of the importa
tion of the foreign articles, and thus
to prevent excessive prices.” This
has long been the. demand of Mr.
Bryan, that foreign competing com
modities should be allowed easier ac
cess to our markets, by which more
domestic prices would lie reduced.
LOYALTY.
What is worth more to a man
than the pure, lojal uplift of a neigh
bor and friend? Even under adverse
circumstances his kindly word and ten
der sympathy i ml assistance places
you once more on your feet and helps
you on to success
Is not this sentiment just as true
with a community or town as with an
individual? We certainly think it is,
ami if anyone can cite us to a town
that is a glowing success without uni
son of spirit among her business men
we would liko a photograph. Many
places there are in the state that are
growing steadily and the well kept
lawns and streets, denote a fine class
of people to dwell among and call home
Ask any citizen of such a communi
ty about the future prospects and
general surroundings of that locality,
and they paint you a picture of par
adise.
Has Falls City ever been blessed
with an overflow of such citizenship?
No, but the Lord blessed her when
placing the townsite in the best part
of the best county in the state of N£
biaska, and what she is today is larg
ly due to this fact. There has nev
er been a concentrated effort toward
public improvement—every move of
that nature has been with more or
less siriff, and yet we have grown.
Had we been blessed with a few loy
al home boosters that were willing to
give the glad hand to the stranger
that entered our gate and tell him
this is a good town to locate in, we
would certainly have seen a different
town than the Kails City of today.
How many have ever made an hon
est effort toward getting a little fac
tory to locate in our midst? is there
any Just reason why a half dozen dif
ferent industries we might, mention
would not do well In our midst—and
at the same time find employment
for all who were willing to work?
Kalis City today has the best op
portunity ever presented to make her
self felt in the commercial world. No
town on tin* globe is surrounded by
a better farming community; our ship
ping facilities are good, we have a
sightly location and plenty of wealth
to accomplish any desired end in a
public way. As was said to the young
man of old,“one tiling thou lackest."
lit this instance we feel Hint it is sim
ply loyal citizenship, which is a howl
ing success wherever found. IT* a
booster from this time on, and then
Watch for a great-r Kalis City.
MACHINE POLITICS.
The democratic' voice in its lust
issue says that Judge Gagnon made
tto effort to secure the nomination for
his continuance in office.
There.' are times when it becomes
nt'cessai; for the chronic office seek
er to "lay down" and permit the
machine to do the work. The vote
from both i’.aradas would show that
the democratic machine was put in ex
cellent shape and well oiled.
Mr. James, n clean young democrat
ic attorney, who has seen hard ser
vice in the Philippines, carrying
wounds that will shorten his years,
did not receive a vote, while his op
ponent, who is asking for a fiftli
term as county judge, received li is
nomination in lieu of tills splendid
showing in these precincts.
Tlio principles of the democratic
platform declare against a third term,
yet tin- "gang” plow of the machine
is kept in the same furrow each year
regardless of term so long as the can
didates will heed the dictation of tlie
“gang.”
We certainly agree with tin- demo
cratic voice, and further assert that
it will lie unnecessary for tlie worthy
candidate to make a personal effort to
secure the democratic vote as the
bosses have already pledged to y,,.
fiver tlie goods.

Auburn Firm.
F. W. Cleveland, formerly owner
of the It. A. Dittmar store here, has
Interested himself in the general mer

chandise stock owned by Hogan Bros.,

braska City.
The firm will be known as Cleve
land <£ Siclil. both being experienced
business men, well known In this sec
tion of tiie state. The active man
agement will be in charge of Mr.
Sichl. as Mr. Cleveland will remain
ia Nebraska City where he lias a
profitable and long established busi
ness.
The new firm plans to make sever
al changes in the store, among
\\ hlch will be the complete closing out
t the chinaware department and an
enlargement of the grocery and dry
goods departments. The stock of
hard rare will also be closed out.

With the doubling in the size of the

Mr. Bert Dodd has chosen the

mon at Silver Creek- church Sunday

schools. He was sick with chills and

1 A Communication. >
To The Tribune:—The 'Journal ed
itor, who confessedly was not in the
i "sheep shed,” (but out among the
! goats likely) when Evangelist Sunday
delivered his powerful address in the
j Chautauqua tabernacle, and evidently
j lias not a very Intimate acquaintance
j with the life and character of the Apos
| tie Paul, undertakes to criticize the
j “Wayfarer" of The Tribune for men
! tioning those two vang ii.- : in the
same category.
The Wayfarer was right in two al
lusions to Paul by way of compari
son. Both men could testify to the
power of the Gospel in what it had
accomplished in transforming their
own lives as well as to what it was
doing for others through their in
strumentality.
Notice what the Evangelist Sun
day's critics say about his lack of
polish in the language he uses. Of
Paul they said, “his bodily presence
is weak and his speech contempt
ible;” and Paul himself confessed.
‘T came not to you with excellency
of speech.” Further the critics and
maligners and persecutors of both
the Apostle and Evangelist belonged
(o the same class of worldlings who
were fearful that the influence of
their preaching would tend towards
[depriving them of gains made
Ithrougli following an unholy occupa
ftion, and the same class of hypo
I critical reprobates who have ever re
I fused to yield to Gospel influences, no
■ matter by whom it is preached, are
! now finding fault with Sunday, Oliver
and other evangelists just the same
as they maligned and persecuted the
Apostles in their day.

Substantial Improvements.

Shubert Bank Progressive.
Owing to an increased business.
Cashier Evans of the Farmers’ State
bank, has been compelled to put in
an adding machine, which will add
up a column much' quicker than a
person can do it and be absolutely
correct. The bank has also received
