J. \V. Crabtree. While ii may bo better to consol 1 date school and transport pupils we must not allow ourselves to lose con fidence in the district school. Wo, must remember that a great majority Of tile lending bankers, managers of factories and corporations, college presidents and professors, spent their early days on the farm and received their early education in tin' district school. It may be that tin- district school handicapped as it 1ms been by | lack of equipment and funds for leach ers' salaries, lms contributed its part In preparing men for these places ot responsibility and high salaries. It may be that even though limited In education and experience, the coun try teacher is doing a more Important service than we lmve been aware of. There are certainly many evidences of worth in the old district school and there is every reason why those living in the country should feel an honest pride in their home schools : m * * if the Journal had less to say 01 the few draw backs in its home town and would quit copying and quoting disparaging tilings that others say and toot the horn of the people who make Its existence possible, there might then be some excuse for its exlstauce. A town is, in a measure like a family, and what family wants Its skeleton In the closet shaken, before the public every few days Only a town is some what different while its skeleton is aired some thing or somebody is frightened away who would help make the town bigger and better. Better stop the fault finding and make an honest effort to route the ghost. The world is full of the | small smiled kind who watch the1 trails and efforts of others and at their success or failure alike say. “1 told you so," always full of advice but careful never to follow It. If they would join those who love their : town, put their shoulder to the wheel and spend just half the energy in pushing they do tn nagging what a lot of good they might doatul amount to in the town they exist in. • * * When viewing the live stock mar ket reports anil noting Unit .til grade:' of beef from feeders to heavys tire selling from $1.00 to $l.e0 less per hundred than at this season lust year, and still the price of meat goes higher for the consumer, it makes the fellow who pays the hill wonder just why it is so. It is also puzzling to us when we come to figure the results of the hog sales held recently in this city and vicinity. Take the average price these breed ers of thorough breds have been get ting for pure blood stock and they would do as well on most any stock market on ail average day. Why is this? These men are giving the farmers the advantage of years of close study and careful breeding, yet their efforts seem hardly appreciated. A poorer blooded hog brings as good a price on the market and is dished up to the consumer at the same fan cy price as the blooded animal, lheie is less danger of disease in the care fully bred liog and therefore the de mand should be the greater. Does this happen to be an "off" season in the hog sale line or is it just a lack of understanding and appreciation of the largo majority of farmers? At any rate there has been little this fall to encourage these men who are doing so much to advance the breed ing of better blooded stock. LIBRARY MEETING. Miss Mary Hutchings of This City Was Present. The Nebraska Library Association held its sixteenth minimi meeting in Lincoln, October I'.J -I, with an attend mice of seventy-five comprising llbrai lans, trust cm's, and members of the Lincoln Library club, and represent ing about thirty libraries, public and school. The many sides of library work were considered at the different ses sions. One morning was given en tirely to books; their binding, meth ods and styles, by Dr. Jewett of the University library. A collection of; non-fiction books was shown from tile' same place. Hooks on agriculture were exhibited and discussed by Miss Noble of the University Farm Library No subject received more attention than "Reference Books for a Small Library.” An aide paper was read by Miss Union, whose experience in (lie State Normal library at Bern ! inaki s lit-r suggestions valuable In , tli s department. "Library Legislation" was the* sub ject of one session. Libraries in state institutions, school, and rural libraries, number of trustees, library levy were taken up by speakers in terested in the subjects, lunong tin in, Miss Templeton of the Nebraska Lib rary commission, Miss Carey of the Minn. Library Commission, if. O.l Legtcr, librarian of the Chicago City Library, Judge Lettou, and trustees i front different parts of the state. The sentiment was strongly in favor | of reducing the number of trustees from nine to five, and of some amend ment to our Library I aw whereby library priveloges might be extended to school districts, precinct or county. A committee on legislation was ap pointed to formulate the necessary amendments and to use means to secure their adoption by our next legislature. Two papers by members of the Uni versity faculty, "involution of Fic tion” and "The Modern German Drama” were treats such as the country librarian seldom lias an op portunity to enjoy. Tito social features of the meeting were a reception bold the first even ing in the parlors of the Lincoln City Library, and a luncheon at the Uni versity farm, given by the Library Club of Lincoln. MARY HUTCHING City Librarian. Williamson. Maria Ann Cade was born in the state of Maryland, July 21, 1828 and died at the home of her son, Cliar nocli Williamson in Richardson coun ty, Nebraska, October 24, 1910, Age liglity-two years, three mouths and three days. lu early childhood she moved with her parents to Ohio, where they re mained until 1X47. They then mm ed to Iowa and on August 15, 1850 she was married to Robert William son, who with five children, twenty grand-children, twenty great grand children, and two great-great grand children remain to mourn her loss. I'liclo Robert Williamson, us he is commonly called by his many friends in this community, moved with his family from Iowa to Kansas in 1857 and located on a farm near Leavens worth, where they continued to re side until three years later moved to Missouri. One year later they I came to this vicinity and in June t'!65 took possession of their present home near the state line on Rock ; Creek On account of their feebleness they Ilian resided with their children the last few years. Mrs. Williamson wa strickt n with paralysis October 20th, widen li ft her unconscious and speechless until she quietly and peacefully passed away. She accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior at an early age and united with tlie Presbyterian church. The funeral services were conducted by Rev, \V. 11. Wyler October 26, at 10:00 a. m. at the home of Cliar noeh W illiamson with interment in the ‘Snbetha cemetery. We, as neighbors and friends ex press 'o her husband and children our heart felt sympathy for their great loss, and commend them to the loving care of our Heavenly Father, who 1 s able to sustain us in all the trying times of life, and Who will .'itlli- i His children safely home sit lust. There certainly will remain a t ider feeling In the hearts of the r m old settlers who survive her, lss an early day when doctors Were few and towns were far between, and she was young and vigorous, her ser vice as a doctor and trained nurse wits freely and gladly given. She was a truly noble woman, a loving com panion, an affectionate mother and a good neighbor, ever ready to lay down her own cross to help hear the burdens of others. Her life exhibit ed the principles of righteousness i nd simplicity. Her practice of charitableness and her tolerance of Impurity illustrated a high type of a true American woman. God grant that the bereaved ones may be consoled by the fact, that the same tender eye watches them when life’s journey is done. Although God lias plucked the brightest and sweetest flower from this home, it is for a purpose none of us can solve. A. precious one from us is gone, A voice we loved is stilled; A place is vacant in ourhome Which never can be filled, uoil Hi Ills WlbUOUi lilt-' recall.

Autos Stolen. lust what spirit of deviltry will tak" hold of some boys ishard to tell. ; Last Saturday night an attempt was 1 made to steal Steve Miles’ auto. t it was run out of his garage and down the stre< t a shortdistanee, hut when the attempt was made to crank it, it was found the key was gone. Fortunately Mr. Miles had taken it out early in the evening. After midnight tlie same parties made a raid on Carl Buthman's gar age and took his auto a couple of blocks by hand but were unable to run it. They were seen by neigh bors who were aroused by the noise and gave the alarm. Whether the boys merely meant to go out for a "joy ride” in the wee small hours or were at the- business with more serious intent is the question. It will probably cause them loss trouble if they come back and make a clean breast of it and do their pari toward straightening out the matter. A repetition of these offenses will surely get some one into trouble. News From Our Sick Ones. There is a great deal of sickness in the city tills week, some improv ing, some failing. The frieiuls of P. S. Heaeock and Dr. Kerr will be glad to know there ia improvement in their condition. Mrs. Able cannot be said to be so well and Mrs. Sperry has not gained any. Judge Wilhite Is not able to be out. Mrs. Hurst is still improv ing. lint little hope is entertained lor i lie recovery of Charlie llnanah. who sustained a stroke of paralysis on Thursday. Ilis sister, Mrs. Md,ane, who is in Topeka has been sent for. Robert King underwent an opera tion for appendicitis last Sunday at the home of his father-in-law, W. Kleber, the operation being perform ed by Dr. Fast of St. Joe and Drs. Moose and Greene of this city. It seems to have been in every way successful and at this itme the pa tient is doing very nicely. “House of a Thousand Candles. Probably two of the most compli cated sets of scenery ever built for a theatrical production are used in the second and third acts of “The House of a Thousand Candles," the big New York and Chicago success which will be seen at the Gehling Theater on Wednesday evening. Nov ember J. In building these sets the artists and carpenters were required to make six secret panels, and so per fectly were they made that tin5 walls appear perfectly smooth without the slightest resemblance of an opening. The painting is so delicate that each piece of scenery is carefully packed in a separate canvas covering, the covering is lined with a soft downy substance which prevents any scrat ching while being transported. “The Burgomaster.” Win. F. Cullen’s great revival of Fixley & I.uder’s masterpiece of mu sical comety, ’“Burgomaster,” will lie seen as the the attraction at the Gehliug on Saturday, October 29. Our favorite Gus. Weinburg will be supported by a company of fifty peo ple. The costumes are especially handsome this year, and the produc tion is new. Much that is novel has been installed in the way of electri cal effects. Some of the scenes have bet'ii revised, and the dances are all new. The chorus is said to be of the strongest singing aggrega tion on the stage. “Just a Woman’s Way.” "Just a Woman’s Way” held the boards at the Gehliug Tuesday night and played to a large audience. The show was a surprise to most of the audience and all were well pleased. Miss Fox was clever in her inter pretation of character, her stage voice however being somewhat against her. She had good support and the production here was well re ceived. Don’t trifle with a cold is good advice for prudent men and wo men. It may be vital in case of a child.

Many people will be interested to know of the return of the United Doctors of Omaha whose success was so marked on their former visit to our city. They have been induced by their friends in and near Falls City to come again, in order that many who were unable to consult them when they were here before may have another opportunity to do so. It is very difficult for the United Doctors to leave their busy offices which are permanently located on th second floor of the Neville Block, corner 16th and Harney Streets, to visit other cities in the state, so the opportunity again presented to secure their examination and diag nosis without a trip to the home of fice is a rare one and should not be neglected by any one needing tin counsel and advice of those skilled specialists. The wonderful results of the United Doctors in obscure and stubborn diseases of the stomach, liver, kidneys and blood, rheumatism, gall stones, goitre, epilepsy and chronic diseases of men and women, have been so thoroughly demonstart ed throughout Nebrsaka and adjoin ing states that it is unnecessary to mention it here. Hundreds of Nebraska people have been cured since the former visit of the United Doctors to Falls City. Ev ery day adds to the list ofeured pa tients, every mail brings letters of gratitude. Mrs. W. A. Daniels, Box 321, Val entine, Nebraska, writes, “Am happy to say that I am getting along fine. My breathing is a great deal better than it was three months ago. The comments of my friends who do not see me often are ‘how well you look’, | ‘you are looking so much better than ' when I saw you last.’ I can truth- j fully say that I am wonderfully im proved.’’ Mrs. George Beaver, Tekamah, Ne braska, writes: “I just want to state today for the benefit of all sick peo ple that after having two operations in the Omaha General Hospital with out the least benefit, the United Doc tors cured me, and did it so easily that I can scarcely realize how it was done. I have taken no treat ment of any kind for three months and am feeling fine in every way. The United Doctors certainly do just what they say they will do.’’ Mary Hamsch, Malvern, Iowa write “After suffering for thirteen years with goitre and trying everything, the? United Doctors have cured me. My neck is now of natural size.” “The United Doctors cured me of Rheumatism and Stomach trouble.” so writes Anna Toensfeldt of Benson. Nebraska, “and I want every one to know about it.” These are a few letterrs picked at random from our daily mail. Ask the doctor to show you hundreds of oth ers. The offices of the United Doc tors are always crowded with pa tients, and the number of their cures are daily increasing. The United Doctors are obliged to state that their consulting physician will be able to remain one day only, in Falls City duringthis visit, on Thursday, November 3d, they will re ceive patients at the New National Hotel parlors. Consultation and examination i - free, and the same careful and scien tific diagnosis will be given as you would obtain at their Omaha offices, which are located on the second floor of tlie Neville Block, corner of 16th and Harney Streets. A full comple ment of tlie latest instruments for the diagnosis and research work into the cause of disease, as used by the United Doctors in the leading cities of the different states, will be brough and used during this visit here by tlie Examining Specialists, so you are sm ut' a deep and careful study into your trouble. Upon this examination is based the advice the doctor will give you. During this visit of the United Doc - tors they again extend their remark able offer of free consultation and examination to all.
