apart with friend, who presently
exclaimed:
Look! What's the matter with
her?'
"And looked just in time to see
her fall back in her chair in dead

"We rushed to revive her. When
she came to it was found that she
had seen her husband come into the
cafe with another girl on his arm.
That was why she tainted. They
had been estranged and separated
for several months. Now you know
it must have nearly broken her
heart to see him with another girl
if it made her faint. Somehow it
made me feel bad. l went over

He was quite ready and willing to

Falls City is in much better
condition this spring than for
some years past. Labor is EN-.
ployed, the houses here to fore
vacant are now occupied. A
more hopeful feeling is abroad
and general desire is to push
ahead seems prevalent. If
Falls City will vote the bonds
for improved light and water
service and to buy the park we
willy so right ahead to better
things. On the other hand should
any of the three bond PROPOSE
tions be defeated it will tend to
renew the old encouragement
and to dampen the enthu-
Siasum of the men who have
been and are laboring to make
FaAs City the good town it
desires to be.

If Orchard, the star witness in
the Idaho labor trial, has failed
to commit all the crimes in the
catalogue, it is because he was
either pressed for time or did
not know OF the omission. He
is, IL shining example of total
Iepravity. If the story he tells
is true, though it will require
other testimony than the word
of this monster to prove il, and
the labor unions are maintained
by murder aud assassination, il
is high time that we knew of it
There is no room in America fol
men who strike at law anC
government in an effort t
exist. Every good thing vii
live in obedience to the laws o
the country. When the exist
ence of an organization is de
pendent on murder and as
aasination it is not a goo'
thing.

IF Falls City owned the park
good and permanent building
could be constructed wherein
public meetings such as church

and the like could be held. A
great many of these gatherings
would be brought here and the
town be thereby greatly bene-
6ted if the citizens will Just
pull together and buy the park
