CHANGED HANDS
FALLS CITY BUSINESS COLLEGE
HAS NEW PROPRIETOR
Professor Barrett Retires. After
Many Years as Head of
the institution

This week a deal Was consum'
mated, whereby the Falls City
Business College passes into new
hands, Prof. Barrett retiri Il e,
The new owner. j. c. Leister,
will assume immediate control.
He is Falls City product, hay
ing been raised among us, and is
graduate of this same college,
which he now owns, this fact
alone being criterion of his ster-
ling worth. For some time Mr..
Leister has been an instructor in
the Zanerian college of Columbus,
Ohio, which is considered one of
the best, if not the very best
school of penmanship and kindred
branches known, giving the fin
ishing touches to those desiring
a practical business edu a / II.
MIR. Leister has also held many
important and lucrative positions
in the business world, which ex-
perience will enable him to inn
part to his students the practical
side of All education so essential
in this age. While we are sorry
to learn that Prof. Barrett has
decided to give up this valuable
institution, we are more t h a n
pleased that it has fallen in such
competent hands.
For number of years the busi-
ness college has been a pride to
Falls City people, turning out
each year, as it did, many STU
dents competent to accept posi-
fdiSts in almost any capacity iii
the business world. Prof. Bar
rett launched this enterprise sew
eral years ago and since that time
has devoted his entire time to its
growth, and being an instructor
of more than ordinary ability, has
succeeded beyond the expectations
of the most sanguine. AS to his
plans for the future we are not
able to say, but sincerely hope he
will decide to remain with us, as
we can i'll afford to lose men of
his character.
The Tribune welcomes ]. c.
Leister among us and wishes him
success in his undertaking.

A TIMELY SUGGESTION
Should Use Precautions to Pre-
vent Accidents

Motor car accidents are grow
ing more common every day.
Falls City is filling up with auto
mobiles very rapidly and some of
the boys are pretty reckless.
Cars are run at high speed on the
streets, corners are turned with
no warning, some of the machines
run at night without lights. A
four year old boy was nearly run
down on south Chase street. A
car swung round corner at high
speed the other evening without
warning and threw its lights into
the faces of a nervous team a
serious accident was barely pre-
vented. The council should pass
an ordinance regulating the
speed, enforcing lights at night
and compelling the proper warn
ings. If this isn't done a bad
accident is sure to result.

BURGLAR BUSY
Man Enters House in North Part
ofToWn but Secures no Booty

Some one broke into the house
of r. p. Thomas Monday night
while Mrs. Thomas and the baby
were alone. They heard a
scratching on the window screen
but thinking it was mice paid
little attention to it. Soon she
was Mortified at finding some one
in the house, who searched every
room except the one occupied by
her where a lamp was burning.
Mrs. Thomas coughed and pre-
tended to just awaken, and he
then went out at the window
where he had entered. Local
talent is thought to be response
BILE for this act, as Mrs. Thomas
is almost certain as to the iden-
tity of the Individual, she having
seen him plainly through the
window after he left the house.
The fellow was evidently after
money as Mrs. Thomas had had
quite sum in her possession but
had placed it in safe keeping
that day.

The Band Concert.

The streets were crow d d
Thursday evening by people to
listen to the band concert given
by the Hiawatha band, and they
were we'll pleased, as well they
might be, for the concert was
fine. This band deserves all the
good things which have been said
about it, as it would be hard to
improve upon.
About a hundred people came
over with the band, which goes
to show that a band will draw a
crowd when everything else fails,
and that Falls City fails to sup
port an organization of this kind
is a deplorable fact.
We were glad the band came
over and gave us this treat, and
they may be sure of always find
ing a welcome awaiting them III
Falls City.

BARN BURNS
Small Boy And Matches Cause a
Good Blaze

On Wednesday afternoon about
1 o'clock, the barn and sheds on
the alley back of Matthews store
and the Lyric theater were dis
covered to be on fire, and but for
the hard work of the fire depart
ment the blaze would have proven
disastrous. Before the flames
were subdued a shed stored with
hay was destroyed and the barn
is almost a total wreck. There
were horses in the barn but they
were rescued. The balance of the
contents, including a supply of
grain, was destroyed. We under
stand the fire was caused by boys
playing with matches. 1t was a
close call and a lucky thing for
our city that there was no wind.

his home in this city Sunday.
July 27, aged 62 years, II
months and II days.
Deceased was born in Prussia
but came to this country when
boy. He has been a resident
of this county since his mar
riage forty years ago and has
made many friends during his
long residence here. For some
time he has been sufferer from
heart trouble but was not con
sidered critically i'll, but last
Saturday change for the
worse was noticed, and he con-
tinued to sink rapidly until Sun
day morning, when the end
came. He leaves a wife and
three children to mourn the loss
of an affectionate husband and
indulgent father. The children

TWO GOOD ONES
Atchison Will Play Falls City Two
Games Next Week.

On next Thursday and Friday
Atchison comes for two ball
games with our boys at Poteets
park, and they say they are COM
ing to win, but that remains to
be seen.
The Atchison Globe has been
poking a great deal of fun at the
"one horse town of Falls City
winning all the ball games by
soaring the umpire. That may
be the way they do things in
Kansas but its different here, as
they will find out next Thursday
and Friday. 1t will be a ball
game from start TO finish. We
don't haye to steal the game.
The Atchison team is made up
of all salaried men and have the
reputation of being fine ball
players. That's the kind we
want.
The game will be called each
day at $3.50, and as our boys are
at big expense in getting this
team for the two games it is
hoped a good crowd will be in
attendance and help them out,
Following is the line up:

vote.

DEMOCRACY SCRAPS
A Monkey And Parrot of a
Time

The Democratic love feast held
in the court house Wednesday to
induce some of the faithful to file
as candidates, was hummer. A
couple of dozen of the unterrified
assembled to hear Shallen barger
speak. The fun, however. came
up when the prospective candi-
dates were discussed. Bill MCCray
was in the crowd, and Bill Nc
Cray is another name for trou BILE.
Ralph Clark's name was suggest
ed, but William had a candidate
of his own and didn' want Clark.
Ed. Falcon, who admires BRYAN,
not, curried McCray down and
then Morehead took a few shots
at him. While William was get
ting somewhat groggy he re-
mained III the ring. 1t looked
like the thing was to break up in
row, but the beligerents found
talking thirsty work, and for OBJ
vious reasons the meeting ad'
journed. Bills candidate has not
filed as yet and William will prob
ably again vote the republican
ticket.
More's the pity.

SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNIC
Presbyterian Sunday School En-
10y Day in the Country


One of the most enjoyable
social events of the season was
the picnic held by the First Pres
byterian Sunday school Friday,
July "a. The event was to have
taken place on Thursday, and
when the morning dawned with
plenty of rain falling, the wires
were kept busy III all parts of the
CITY by children in disappointed
tones enquiring about the picnic.
Friday morning gave promise of
a beautiful, ideal picnic day, so
it was a large and enthusiastic
crowd which gathered at the
Presbyterian church, impatient
to be off to the picnic grounds,
the fine walnut grove on the
Henry kruse farm. Through
the kindness OF M esSrs Will X.
Holt. Peter Brecht, Geo. Hessler
and Henry Kruse, ample convey
ance was furnished for all.
Though too late for the process
sion of hacks, carriages, hayracks
and buggies, many private con-
veyanCes, carriages and autos
made their way to the Kruse
farm in good season that their
occupants might participate in
what was perhaps the most i'm
portant feature of the days pro-
gram-the generous dinner on
the grounds.
Fully 130 people partook OF
the bounteous provisions served
in true picnic style on the grass.
To say that every one young and
old, did justice to that dinner is
stating the matter very mildly
indeed. In due time the tables,
though still filled with good
things were deserted and even
the ice cream freezer ceased to be
attractive and there followed a
short period of rest during which
the chairs. swings and hammocks
were all brought into requisition
before the afternoon S program
began.
DR.. Bailey and DR.. Allison SUI
perintended the games, which
were most eagerly entered into
by the younger boys and girls.
Messrs. Davies and Whitford act
ed as Judges and awarded prizes
to the victors. There were
spirited races of all kinds together
with banana and pie eating con-
tests which furnished rio tous
amusement to the crowd of on
lockers. The day passed pleas
antly and all too soon and almost
reluctantly in the evening about
six o'clock, did the crowd board
the conveyances for home. Uni
versally the picnic was voted a
great success.

THE BALL GAME
THE HIAWATHA TEAM WAS NOT

an errorlesS one It was one that
kept the spectators on their
toes. From the very first en-
thusiasm was mutual with those
that composed the large attend
ance. Every time the ball was
thrown or batted cheer went
up that made the few who re-
manned at home wish they were
young enough to enjoy the
national game.
Heacock and Poteet did the
battery work for Falls City and
although Roy let several men
walk" he pulled himself out
of all the holes remarkably. In
the fifth inning the first three
batters up took a base on balls,
filing up all the bases. The
next three men up were treated
to lone, two, three-batter out. %
Then again in the seventh with
only one man out the bases
were again filled up, but after
"fanning" them to a queens
taste the side was again re-
tired without d score. 1t is safe
to say Tom Poteet never caught
better game.
The team work was excellent.
Hiawatha worked two pitch
ers, but neither of them could
hold our boys down. They had
a good "bunch'' of boys and
gave their pitcher good support
but Falls City had her bat
ting clothes on.
The game by innings:
FIRST INNING
Hiawatha-G. Steele batted
to second who threw him out at
first. Ramsey famed as did
also Chapel.
Falls City-E. Poteet made
single and was put out while
trying to steal second. Green
made a one-base hit and stole
second. G. Foehlinger hit fly

Poteet batted oall to third who
threw him out at first. Green
died on second.
SECOND INNING
Hiawatha-B. Steele hit a
grounder to short stop who muf-
fled it. A. Meisenheimer hit lily
to third who caught it. r.

ting B. Steele die on second.
Falls City-Heck sing d.
Saylors made two-base hit, but
was caught off second by CATCH

caught at second by short stop,
after being forced off first by
Cornell, who was thrown out at
first, making a double out.
