the district school.
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

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,

MRS. CRAIG, Sec.
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

UNITED DOCTORS
MAKE ANOTHER VISIT TO
FALLS CITY.
These Noted Specialists will be
at New National Hotel, on
Thursday, November 3.
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. If you are cur
able, the best means ofremoving tin
cause of your disease and affecting <a
permanent cure of it will be care
fully explained and the treatment will
be placed within your reach. If you
are incurable you will be kindly and
frankly told the truth, and none of
your money accepted.
These specialists will be in Fall
City but one day, and while there
they will receive patients at the Ne
National Hotel parlors.
Mrs. Frank Gossett of llorton is
here visiting her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Lawrence Snyder and other rel
atives.
