Humane Society.

A humane society was organic
ed by a few citizens in this city
on last Thursday evening, at a
meeting held in the Office of John
Spragins.
An organization was made
under the state law and the fol-
lowing officers were elected for
the ensuing year:
H. c. Davis, president.
Samuel Kimmel, vice-president.
E, H. Towle, Sec. and Treas.
Chris Hershey, humane officer.
Articles of incorporation were
adopted, in which it was stated
that its purpose was the preven-
ton Of cruelty to children and an
imals, and that it had no capital
stock except the good will and CO.
operation of right minded people,
and depends for funds upon vol
untary contributions.
All citizens of Falls City will
be invited to join the society,
which they can do by paying 81
as a membership fee. Much good
has already been done under the
old society organization in the
way of looking after needy child
rem and preventing the neglect of
animals.
The newly organized society
intends to keep close watch on
teams left tied to hitching racks
too long without water or feed,
and will prosecute all offenders.
There is plenty of work for this
society to do, and we are pleased
to see it organized.

It's a Busy Council,

An adjourned meeting of the
city council was held in the coun-
Gil chamber Monday night. 1t
was the date set for the opening
of bids on the new electric light
plant and there was about two
dozen bidders present.
The council voted to sell $40,
600 worth of bonds to Halland &
Slocum at par, the city to allow
S250.00 to the buyers for legal
advice and expense connected
with same.
After opening the various bids
it was Seen that it would be i'm
possible to determine which was
the best bid without some study
and dellberation, so the mayor
appointed a committee to meet
Tuesday morning, at 9 o'clock.
The committee was instructed to
determine which of the bids was
the best to accept and to offer a
recommendation to the council at
1880 p. m.
G. F. Windle, Geo. Fallstead,
French Mcdonald, John A. Cook
and War Hutchins, composed
the committee.
The council met at 1880 p. m.
Tuesday, but as the committe
had not yet completed their in
vestigation, they were left in
charge of the bids and the coun-
Gil adjourned until Thursday eve-
ming at 1880 p. m.
We got to press too early to
give an account of Thursday
evenings session, but it begins to
look like Falls City was going to
have a " crackerjack - electric
light plant.

Stella, Hiawatha and other neigh
boring towns were in attendance.
Max Werner entertained the
guests with few choice piano
selections before going to the
National.
The description of Kansas
City greenhouse seemed to strike
familiar chord with many
young men.
The speakers took dinner with
Mr.. and Mrs. c. f. Reavis, Messrs.
Gehring and Wakeley being Mr..
Reavis' guests.
The club rooms were too small
to entertain the large crowd and
the lodge room was thrown open
for that purpose.
Yes, lack" is very fond of
turkey, and for time landlord
Spence was afraid his supply
would not hold out for the
smoker.
The committee on arrange
ments, Messrs. Kellar, Bhrun and
Davies were showered with con-
gratulations by the guests and
members.
Sidney Spence is certainly an
artist in the line of his business.
More beautiful and tasteful ar
rangements for such an occasion
can scarcely be imagined.
"Archie" Graham, "Gussie"
Neitzel, FRANKIE" Werner and
Judge Johnnie" Gagnon were
among the young (?) fellows who
enjoyed" the bountiful supply
of cigarettes.
Chas. French and James Arm
strong headed the Auburn dele
CATION, while Claud Lum and
Roscoe Anderson took care of
the Humboldt crowd, and Ralph
Clark chaperoned the Stella

Immediately started overland ar

After an illness of about
year, j. l.. Hays of Stella went
to his eternal rest on Monday
of this week.

known men in this county, and
was held in the highest respect
and esteem by all his acquaint-
auces. He was among the
counties earliest settlers, hav-
ing settled on the farm where he
died fifty.seven years ago, liv-
ing there continuously, making
what was at that early day but
wild prairie home, one of the
finest rural homes in the state.
Mr.. Hays leaves widow and
two daughters to mourn for a
loving and indulgent husband
and father.
The funeral was conducted
from the family home Wednes-
day and the remains laid to rest
in Prairie Union cemetery.

From Pollard.

The following letter from Con-
gressman Pollard dated February
18th, says:
con account Of the fact that
have no faith in the good results
that follow the free distribution
Of garden seeds shall pursue the
same course this year that / did
last and only send garden seeds to
those who request them. / have
exchanged ten thousand packages
of garden seeds for like amount
of flower seeds which l desire to
distribute among the public
schools of my district. | have
reserved enough garden seeds,
however, to supply everyone with
them that makes request for the
same.
| have succeeded in increasing
the amount of money appropriate
ed for the Agricultural Depart
ment so that an expert will go TO
Nebraska from the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture who, in
conjunction with the State
Experiment Station, will advise,
so far as possible, with any farm
er in the state who desires to be-
come familiar with the most adj
vanced methods of selecting his
seeds and the cultivation of his
crops. AT my suggestion this
work was carried on last year to
a limited extent. Wherever this
was done there was a material
increase in the yield. Any farm
er who desires to cooperate in
this demonstration work can do
SO by sending me his name and
address,"
Very truly yours,
ERNEST NJ. POLLARD.

Why Was 1t D0ne1

The old railroad gang of the
state at Lincoln are trying their
best to control the Nebraska
delegation to the national con-
vention indirectly for the party
reactionarles.
In hopes of defeating the Taft
sentiment of the state they took
up a western man, Senator La
Toilette, who has never had
ghost of show of the nomina-
tion. Their plan, evidently be-
ing that as soon as Mr.: LaFoll-
cite, went down early in the
convention, to throw the Ne
braska delegation composed of
themselves, or part of it to some
one of the reactionary candi-
dates. That the LaFollette
boom died at birth is evidenced
by the fact that the same Lin
coin men who were for LaFoll-
cite are now flooding the state
with circular ballots and litera-
ture in favor of a third term for
President Roosevelt, all this
Notwithstanding the fact that
he has three times declared he
would not accept a nomination
and has recently declared that
he would not qualify if elected.
President Roosevelt b a S no
stauncher admirer than t h e
writer. We have never found
him to pe a liar or to say
anything which he did not mean.
Whedon, Harrison and others
who were so recently pushing
the LaFollette boom realize this
fact as we'll as ourselves, yet
they are determined to send a
Roosevelt delegation to Chica-
go to offer him something which
they know beforehand he will
not receive. The query occurs
to us, are they sincere in the
matter? We believe not and
plainly speaking we believe
their scheme is to get Ne
braska delegation composed of
themselves and their friends, in
structed for Roosevelt with no
second choice and then when
Roosevelt refuses to stand as a
candidate they will turn to some
one of the reactionary candi-
dates, for whom they are now at
heart.
Why did the above named
gentlemen in the recent Ian
caster cou nty convention
smother a resolution TO the effect
that in case Roosevelt refused
to run, then the delegates should
be for Taft for second choice?
Why was it done?

The M. e. Kensington and
friends. numbering about forty,
were entertained on Wednesday
afternoon by Misses Nellie Schock,
Matte Schock and Minnie Nc
Donald, at the home of Miss
Nellie Schock.
The Washington idea was car
ried out very successfully; hand
painted favors decorated with
cherries and shield were given
each lady. Appropriate games
for the occasion added to the en-
joyment for the afternoon. Nor
was the cherry feature lost sight
of in the delicious. refreshments
that were served, and last but not
least, real Jerusalem cherry tree
bearing lucious fruit graced the
dining table. Long live the M.
e. X.
Mrs. Bert Reavis and Mrs. Jim
Pickett entertained about IS of
their friends at the home of the
former II Thursday afternoon
and Friday evening. The after
noon entertainment was in the
form of kensington together
with guessing contest which
was very enjoyable, while Friday
evening was devoted to cards.
The decorations were very pretty,
being in keeping with the season
and consisted of hearts, cupids
and cut flowers. Elegant refresh
ments were served on both occa-
sions, the ladies being assisted by
Miss DeMers and Misses Grace
and Ruth Reavis.
Mr.. and Mrs. Alex Tiehen

young couple will make their
home in this city.
The Friends in Council met on
Friday evening with Miss Nellie
Gilman as hostess, but owing to
the inclement weather only a few
were present, and the time was
given to a social session, rather
than literary one.

ElkS' Smoker.

In a room Hooded with light
and decorated to the point Of
splendor, the Elks gave stag
smoker to their friends Friday
evening.
The banquet, decorations and
general arrangements were turn
ed over to MIR. Spence of the
National, and the beauty of the
dining room when the $50 guests
entered at ten o'clock fully justi-
fed the judgment of the COM
uittee. Elks' colorS were every
where, from the light about the
fountain to the horns Of the
solemn old elk's head that looked
dignified approval upon the
festivities. The menu was varied
and in excellent taste and the
guests were in good hunor for
the toasts when the music of the
Hiawatha orchestra ceased and
the cigars were burning salts
factorily.
c. F. Reavis was toast master
and opened the mental feast by
introducing ]. II. Cain, ir. of
Stella, who responded to the toast,
The observations ofan Alien"
Our people knew Mr.. Cain s
capa abilities as an orator so we'll
that no surprise was occasioned
by the mastery manner in which
he acquitted himself at this time.
His response was frequently in
terrupted with manifestations Of
approval which grew to a positive
ovation at the close of the address.
Mr.. Ewing Herbert Of Hiawa-
tha responded to the toast, THE
Simple Life" No finer address
has ever been heard in this city
than Mr.. Herbert delighted his
audience with Friday night as he
so simply yet so feelingly spoke
of the real values Of existence.
The universal brotherhood of
man has always been dear to the
heart of the speaker both in
theory and in practice, and, as
said by one of the guests, no man
can hear Mr.. Herbert make that
speech without exaltation and
experiencing a desire to be of
real service to some one Of his
kind.
Arthur Wakeley, Exalted Ruler
of the Omaha lodge, was the
next speaker on the pragram.
Mr.. Wakeley is most scholarly
man and his address was well
worthy the one who delivered it.
He spoke feelingly and beau
tifully of the order and its objects.
His application of the scene from
Lalla Rookh when the strange
clan placed lighted tapers upon
the dark waters of the river and
watched anXiously for good or
bad omenS as pale and unreal it
floated away, was a masterpiece
Of polished oratory and held the
audience breathless during its
delivery.
Matt Gehring of Plattsmouth,
famed throughout the west as
one of Nebraska's greatest law
yers and orators spoke to the
toast, Dreams. His description
of Tissot's great painting of the
Madonna as the elimination of
the dream of a boy was beauti-
fully composed and delivered
with dramatic force. In fact the
program was of uniform excel
lence, which, following the adj
dress of Mr.. Gehring, the toast
master brought to a close with a
few remarks.
The lodge is to be congratu-
lated upon the excellence of their
efforts, and the committee on
arrangements have the satis-
faction Of knowing that their
labor was rewarded by the finest
entertainment ever given in the
city.

Seeds of kindness should be sown
