Mr. Hanson who had been in New York returned Satur day and came on immediately. Sun day night Mrs. Hanson was taken to the Presbyterian hospital in Omaha, where she could *be given every care. The weakened condition of her par ents who are just recovering from illness making It impractical to try to care for her here. She stood the trip reasonably well as did baby, Katheryn, who "as also ill. The last reports show she is holding up quite well. Auburn In Mourning The division lias gone from Auburn and there are those who feel that tin* town has been killed by the removal. Such is not the case. Auburn is too substantial a town to be permanently injured by the action of the Missouri Pacific railroad company. The tempo* rary set back that tin* community will receive by the removal of a num ber of estimable families and the loss of their trade can be overcome if an effort is made to encourage a few in dustries to locate here. We have the raw material for a cement plant, for a hard plaster factory, for a shuck mattress factory, for a strawboard far tory, for a butter and egg package factory, for an alfalfa meal mill, for a cellulose factory. One or all of these industries could be secured for Auburn were the proper effort made and encouragement given, it is no time to sit down and weep because of lost ground, but a time for every one to ginger up and work to over come the temporary set back. Hia watha did it. Beatrice did it. Au burn can.—Auburn Republican. FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Corner 20th. and Harlan Streets Rev. R. Cooper Bailey, Ph.

Cattle receipts increased last week after Tuesday and the propor tion of good weight fed steers was larger, resulting in doc-lines tin last days of the week which wiped out the gains of the first two days. Butcher stuff held up better than steers, and stockers and feeders re mained firm. Today the run is lib eral here, 14,000 and heavy at Chicago with lower prices on the card from ull die markets, decline hero 10 ets on steers, steady to 10 lower on tows, tUady on stocReis and feed ers. A large share of the stuff com ing is nine to 120 day led, and the same is making money for the feed er as a yule, while the long fed steers are selling only a little above the others, and could have been cashed several months ago, for more money than they are now bringing. Bulk of the steels sill at 6.50 to 6.25, witli lop steers today ai 6.50 noth ing of merit below 5.25. Butcher stuff is showing more quality than any lime before this winter, due to the longer feeds, and prices look pretty high, decent cows selling at 400 to 5.25, heifers 4.75 to 5.75, tops around 6.00, bulls 4.00 to 5.15. Top veals bring 8.50, heavy calves 6.00. Demand for stoekers and feeders is strong, and prices are highest in several weeks. Buyers now get the. advantage of having had the rattle put through half the winter, a con siderable item on slock cattle, Stock steers sell at 4.00 to 5.40, feeders 5. 00 to 5.70, stock cows and heifers 3. 00 to 4.50. Quarantine supplies have picked ui) a little, consisting mainly of medium class steers tit 5.30 to 5. 75. Offerings of quarantine today 43 cars, quality better than last week, most of the steers at 5.50 to 5.85, 1 load of the Johnson yearlings, from Chickasha, at 6 15. Receipts from Colorado and the West have been very small in the last week. The hog market was on the up grade hist week, and closed a quar ter higher for the week. Run to day is 11,000 head, extra large for Monday, and most sales were 5 to 10 lower. The mark* t closed a little stronger today, and last sales were at the top 7.07 1-2. Three fourths of the hogs today sold at 7.90, not many below litis figure, and dealers say the average quality is running very for last week was 7.92. average same week last year X.39. Shippers are buying about 15 per cent of the hogs now. which is fairly good quota for that channel, and sufficient to keep the market on a fairly keen edge. .T. A. Rlckart, M. C.

For an easy-go, slow and drowsy man With us hasn't a ghost of a show. We want the best there is in the wes Nothing’s too good for Falls City. French or Indian, Dutch or Dane, They must be equal to the strain. If they be from the sunny hillside, Or the sandy burning plain. Men who can brave all weather whether sunshine or rain. We want you in Falls City Falls City is tlii‘ name. Our people eome from Boston and the! slior. s of Maine. They enme not liy the ox-cart. But by the modern train. Speaking of High Schools; ours is the same. Here our boys and girls learn Fulls City Falls City is the name. We’ve good people,both kind and true If not the best, then quite as good as any you can name. Oil, we're a happy lot and we're growing. Our city is clean and modern.. Falls City is it's name. Wm. A. itice. The Auburn Republican The Auburn Republican celebrated the New Year by appearing in a new dress. A Junior typesetting machine had been previously installed and this was the first issue taken off the new forms. We heartily congratulate the Republican upon Us progressive and thrifty spirit. The days of hand com position are rapidly passing. To be up with the times calls for improved methods and labor saving machinery. Brother Kearns will never regret this stop. * Presbyterian Church Notes In spite of the inclement weather last Sabbath we had good audiences and helpful services. And on Tues day night our best expectations were exceeded by the audience that came out over slippery side walks to hear] tin; concert given by tin* Davies Brothers of Atchison, Kaus. These gentlemen are Indeed artists in their particular profession. We hope we may be able to arrange for another concert by tiv >e gentlemen under much more favorable condltiois in the m ar future. We are looking for a good day again next Sunday and trust all the membership and friends will rally to the work of the church in spine of its very many different lines of ser vice and uplift. The pastor will preach both morning and evening and an atti nipt is in ing made to make the evening service more attractive to outsiders and voting people. Rev erent in attitude, devout in spirit, and with dignified cheerfulness we seek t worship God and help our community. Will you help us in this good work. K. Cooper Bailey, Pastor. FIRE COMPANY RE-ORGANIZED. There seems to be something doing in our city for we now have a new fire company that promises good for Falls City. Though we hope the hoys will have nothing to do hut drill. Watch the boys for there is going to lie something doing from time to time in the way of amusements. Citizens lend your band and help ] this cause along for it is surely a necessity. There is lots of desirable property destroyed by fire and now and then a precious life lost, perhaps a dear friend, perchance a mother, a dearest sist< r or a babe. Fire is an unmerciful King and lias to be dealt with by rough hands, a bove all, skilled workmen. So then come to the front with your moral support, yours truly, Win. A. Rice. Jury Acquits Fishermen. The case of the six fishermen, charged with unlawful seining by the State Game Warden were up before Judge Spragitis Tuesday. There was considerable question in the matter and finally a Jury was summoned. The case attracted a big crowd and the argument was heated. The jury decided in favor of the fishermen, claiming the lake, which is only a lake after a Nemaha flood, is prl vute, not siati' property and tin’ man upon whose land It is lcoated can use it as he pleases when there ia a lake there. We have been in formed that the (lame Warden will appeal the case to the county court, SELECT FRUIT S. 1!. Watson, one of Richardson county's curly settlers, paid the Trib une office a welcome call, Saturday. Mr. Watson now resides near Reserve Kansas, where he raises some of the finest fruit In this section, lie very thoughtfully brought a well filled lias ket with him when he called to pay his respects to the Tribune force. The fruit was choice. There were of the Mammoth lllack Twig, fine big fellows, White Winter, Hear Main. Grimes Golden, Jonothan and others All of the finest and most delectable varieties. Mr. Watson knows fruit an I10 knows that the printer likes it.\Ve extend to him a hearty invitation lo call again. Some women can look cuss words just as forcibly as men can say them. Success is the result of character multiplied by activity. GEM THEATRE One Night Friday, Jan. 20 “A WINNING MISS” With Max Bloom and 75 more. Original and Only Company Enrouted.
