The Business College school year will start Monday, August 30th -a i week previous to the starting of the ' city schools. The college will he conducted in the Wahl building. The place has been cleaned and papered, blackboards hn.i been arranged in position and the room will make a pleasant one for | the purpose. I Falls City affords a Business col leg.', such as few towns, if any, of Its size is fortunate to possess. Prof. II. li. Darner, who will bt> in charge is a self-made man, having been born on a farm in Southeastern Nebraska and receiving the customary educa tion of a farmer lad. Ills first school | ing was secur. t! under difficulty, bo j ins forced to drive five miles in the l winter time to a high school, and I then to take a nine months’ course of study in six, on account of it not being possible for him to start when school opened. After graduating from the high school he attended the Northwestern Professor H. L. Darner. Business College of Beatrice, Nebr., where lie taught several months, af ter graduating from that school. Ills next experience as an Instruct* • ii' was at Superior, VVis., where he had several departments in a business college. Feeling tin1 need of actual business experience, he resigned his position in this college to act as hook keeper and cashier for a large firm. Getting the actual business experi ence he desired, he put the finishing touches to his education by graduat ing from the Zanerlan college of Col umbus, Ohio, with the highest grade of any student who ever graduated from that school during its twenty five years existence. After gradu ating, his ability was desired in the school and for three years he taught in all branches of the institution. During his employment there he con ducted a Y. M. C. A. night school. Mr. Darner has since been assist ant editor of the Business Educator, one of the foremost educational jour nals in the country. Nearly every state in the Union con tains instructors in business colleges who were once Mr. Darner’s pupils. Recently he had charge of the penmanship department at the teach ers’ institute in this city, where two periods each day were conducted. To show the interest taken in these classes,there were many of the teach ers who made a special effort to at tend Dotli periods. No department was given greater attention than was tli is one. These few remarks concerning the qualifications of Mr. Darner, we deem necessary to prove our first assertion that few, if any, towns the size of Fails City afford such excellent op portunities for a business education. Mr. Darner will be assisted in the' work by his wife, who is amply qual ified for her departments. Bookkeeping, penmanship, spelling, • _*_i I-— URSULINE ACADEMY TO OPEN MONDAY.

OLD SOLDIER GONE John Plybon, Veteran of The Civil War, Passed Away Last Week. John Plybon, another veteran of the Civil war, passed away last week, and was buried by ills comrades of the Grand Army, the funeral be ing on August 19th, at the G. A. It. hull, Rev.“Hattie Muugor, president of the W. It. C. officiating. John Plybon was seventy-five years old. He was born in West Virginia. He enlisted at the age of twenty eight in Co. G. 11th Penn. Infantry, on August 17, JS62, and served in the army of the Potomac until th6 close of the war, being mustered out near the city of Washington on May 31, 1865. He was with O n. Burnside at the battle of Fredericksburg. He cross ed the Rappahannock river early in the morning of the battle on the pon toon bridge, and was in the thick of the fighting, at one time being in the town Fredericksburgh. At night lie recrossed the river on, the pontoon bridge. He was with Gen. Hooker at the battle of Chancellorsville, and he was with Gen. Mead at the bat tle of Gettysburg!!, being in the first days ngnung, in which his regiment was so badly cut up that it could not . be used again in this battle. He was with Gen. Grant at the seige of Petersburg!!, a good portion of the time being engaged in building corderoy roads of forest trees and building breastworks. At the blow ing up of Fort Fisher, he was near enough to have a rifle ball upset his tin cup in which he was making cof fee at a camp fire. He was also in the engagements around Appommat tox, and took part in the Grand Re view of the army at Washington at the close of the war. During all his army life he was never wounded or taken prisoner, but was seriously sick on several occa sions. At one time when in the hos pital, the soldier on an adjoining cot died, and when the dead soldier was measured for a coffin, the officer said they had just as well take his meas ure also as he would bedoad before morning. But he lived, to do more fighting with his regiment for his country. He moved to Falls City in 1903, but being old and infirm he lived a re tired and quiet life, and but few other than his near neighbors and old army comrades became acquain ted with him. All who knew him respected and ad mired him as a man who had made good as a soldier and a citizen, and who 'Will be missed by liis old army comrades. Irish Hospitality. John Kanaly got a telephone from his nephew, Rob, saying he and his wife and baby would come down if there wasn’t toQ much company al ready. “Come orif,*’ says John, “there isn’t any one here.” But by the time supper was ready other folks be sides Rob’s had arrived until with home folks there were twenty-five for supper, welcome but unluokcd for guests. However true Irish hospital ity was equal to the occasion and all had a jolly time.—Rulo Register. f SCHOOL SCHOOL SCHOOL THE FALL TERM OF THE Falls City Business College BEGINS MONDAY, AUGUST 30th We have made many improvements during the summer by adding to our teaching force, introducing new subjects into both the Shorthand and Commercial Courses, and moving into the WAHL BUILDING, where we have the finest steam heated rooms in the city, individual instruction given backward students.
