Every true citizen will stand for and vote for "The Greater Falls City. One of the most important Issues before our people this spring is the matter of providing adequate school facilities for the growing population. There are hodm rumors afloat to tho effect that Uncle Sam is about to effect a reconcUaflon between the warring factions In Mexico. It would be a piece of unexampled di plomacy, should he succed. It would also be a grand achievement in the interests of peace and humanity. What have you boon doing to help land that new union depot? Good things come high. If wo ever get a thing as good as that wo. will have to wado In and do some strenuous rooting. The House In the Nebraska has no adopted one Koferndum bill and the senate an other. Now if there can bo found common ground of agree ment between the two it should not bo impossible to adopt the comprom ise.. However, decidedly better to pass none than pass bills so amen ded as to make of the Initiative and Referendum only only a tiling to be laughed at. It is easier to give a town a black eye than to cause it to stand fortli among the other towns of the com munity as a particularly shining ex ample of civic excellence. Citizens, who have predilection for crying dowi their home town should take note of this fact and curb their conceit a bit. It is easier to give a man a bad name than to correct the abuse after it lias once been commuted. Kails City has a reputation to sntsalii and there is neither sense nor humor in everlastingly peddling her faults and forgetting her virtues, —. * The latest Oklahoma idea is a cleat* ing house for farmers, which has been proposed to the legislators of that state by Seth T. Farnsworth of Chicago, which he says, will make paying property out of every idle acre in the state. A bill lias been prepared outlining the clearing bouse plan and may be Introduced in tbej Oklahoma legislature. The fundamen tal principle or the farmers' clearing house consists in organizing the farmers in a county, which will re ceive assignments of all crops from these farmers; it being agreed that no member of the organization will purchase anything in the way of supplies except through this bank; j the bank as the fountain-head of the entire organization being custodia ' of tho association's funds, so that should a lean year put in its appear ance the farmers may borrow from the funds of tho association. A few clays ago a jury com posed entirely of school boys heard and determined a ciiunual case In the c'rtuil court at Qwingville, Ky., It chanced that when this especial prose- ut 'on was called both sides a nouncod ready for trial, but no jurrors of the regular panels were available. Uoth po tit. juries were out, considering other cases, and Judge Young ordered tho sheriff to go to the school building and s um mon twelve boys.. This was done, and the boys, ranging from 1;’, to IS years of age, were impaneled and placed in the regular jury box. The case tried was one wherein tho de fendant was charged with violating the local option law by selling a malted drink which contained more than the allowable percentage of al cohol. The youthful jury heard the evidence and retired, bringing a ver dict of guilty after some twenty-five minutes’ deliberation. This is certainly a novelty in court procedures, and it worked so well tha i* may become infectious. The large majority of men, who heartily despise jury service, will welcome the inno vation, not only because it will al low them tto escape this burdensome service, but because it will open; the way for an industrious boy to i become self-sustaining, while at the same time gaining that knowledge of j the law which every citizen is pre sumed to possess. Sober Judgment will further sug gest that it is quit probable that twelve bright school boys will make Special Sale New Furnishings To encourage early buying and selecting of your Spring wants, we offer as an inducement MANY Special Values.

THREE BROTHERS For more than fifty years three brothers lived together in their old home, cherishing its traditions, its furnishings, its garden and old trees. Their mother died when the young est son was small, and the older hoys promising her to “keep him a good boy," took up the care of the house hold. Their father took them one by one, at an early age, into his store, and taught them the principles of honest, gradual success. After the father died the oldest son mar ried, and for many years the quartet lived a Ifie of scarcely Interrupted happiness, bound together by a tie singularly strong, and an understand ing truly clairvoyant. The week be fore Christmas the brothers took heavy colds. One died on Tuesday one on Thursday, one on Saturday. The whole city was griefstrlcken at their deaths. Talk in homes and factories, shops, street-cars and rail way-trains was all of the tradgedy, and almost every speaker expressed a sense of personal loss. “I acted as agent in renting a de sirable warehouse,” said one. “Sev eral advantageous offers were refused because the business of those who wished to hire it would have injured older firms in the vicinity.” "One of our boyhood friends fell Into the drink habit,” said another man. “Gradually he slipped all his professional and social anchors. The brothers Cared for him, saw that his room was warm and that food was provided; and this they did to the end. No one else, I fancy, knew of it.” | A missionary's wife lived in this j town. "I did my shopping at the establishment of these men," she said "Only accidentally and from other sources did I learn that I had been buying at wholesale prices. There was no air of giving on their part.” One young fellow who had started a store,carrying the same merchan dise as the brothers, shod tears on! hearing the news of their deaths. ‘They came to me at the start, wel corned me to the trade, and, out of their long experience, advised me j as to what lines to carry and what j stixk to buy.” One of tin* brothers a thorough mu sician for more than forty years played the organ in his church and never accepted a salary, although no paid worker was ever more faithful.! He played for years in the local band and raised it to a degree of perfec tion that made its services sought from long distances. Another brother who received the offer of a diplomatic post from the President of the United States, smil ingly put it aside to remain with his brothers. He was indefatigable how ever in using his special ability to promote the welfare of a local libra ry fathered by that name President. The third passionately fond of flow ers, made the grounds about the fam ily residence a green and glowing oasis in the dusty city. There is a great deal of pulling new udays over circumstances. Those sons of foreign parents started life in a little frontier town. They be came rich, and their is nothing sor did about moneymaking except the sordidness with which it is made. They showed in their daily lives that there is, in everything an excellence which is ideal. They proved that push, and bounce and brass are real ly not so impressive or influential as quiet ways, low tonseq of voice, sympathy and tolerance. They ex cited no opposition, and never neglec ted to practice those minor duties which constitute the “humble but sol id stun c'f the moral life.” Their religious faitli was incarnated in appropriate lives. The loss of those men, shining with the luster of a lifetime’s rectitude, has opend to those who knew them a larger view of what a quiet un eventful life may bo. —Youth’s Comp anion.
