ANOTHER BLAZE
Electric Theater Sustains Serious
Loss by Fire

Just as Mr.. Bower of the EleC-
trio theater was bringing his
last performance to close on
Monday evening the film caught
fire, and in smotherin9 the flame
a piece of the burning film fell
into box containing four others
and in a second all was a mass
of flames. The fire department
responded promptly and sue
ceeded in saving the building,
but the contents of the lower
floor were almost completely
ruined, including the chairs and
phonograph, which were the
property of Reavis u Abbey.
The moving picture machine and
all films were destroyed and Mr..
Bower sustained quite severe
burns about the head and hands.
Luckily there were only few
people in the building at the
time as it was quite late. Had
the fire occurred early in the
evening the result would surely
have been disastrous.
We have not learned as yet
what Mr.. Bowers intentions are,
but presume he will start uI
again as soon as possible.

A Small Blaze

The fire alarm called our fire
department and a few who were
not too sleepy to respond to a
small blaze discovered at one of
Mrs. M. A. Franks houses on
North Chase street. The house
was not occupied, and the only
way the blaze can be accounted
for is that the building was set
on fire. The flames were extin-
guished before much damage was
done,

Putting in New Bridge.

Chas. H. Heineman has his
force of men at work on the new
bridge on 5th and Wilson street.
The structure is of concrete and
is erected by the city at cost
of 500. The old bridge at this
point mas been considered dan
gerous for some time, but when
completed the new bridge will
be good for years to come and
will make that road one of the
busy thoroughfares OF the city,
which heretofore was almost
abandoned on account of the
bad condition of the old bridge

feature of all the pets was the
absence of any semblance of fear
as is the case in most instances.
In explaining this the professor
stated that he never uses a whip
in his training, and never loses
his patience, but always rewards
every effort made by those under
him, with a kind word or some
thing to eat, even if they make
mistakes, for IN thatrespect they
are on par with us weak NOR
tails and liable to err. In the
evening Prof. Pamahasika gave
a more varied program, intro
ducing his dog in the serpentlne
dance and the boxing dogs, also
many other amusing features.
1t was indeed very unique and
enjoyable program and worthy
the large crowd that were in at
tendance.
The musical numbers rendered
both afternoon and evening by
Misses Una Snidow, Helen Mar
tin, Edna Crook, Anita Wilson
and Edna Wentworth were all
good, showing that we have tai
ent right here at home which
ranks with the best.

SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENTS
Old Canning Factory Now Scene
OF Great Activity.

Heck & Harlow our fruit buy
ers have Just about completed
the improvements on the old
canning factory, and what was
once but a dilapidated shell is
now building of pleasing ap-
pearanCe and adds much to the
looks of that part OF our city.
The building has been com
pletely overhauled and re-
arranged on the interior while
the out side has been treated to
a liberal coat of paint.
This enterprising firm have
also fitted up cooper shop
in the building, where they keep
Il force of men busy turning out
barrels for shipping the vast
amount of apples they handle.
The scene presented about the
place is a busy one, with its
cars of material being unload
ed and loads of produce being
houled away.
At the close of the apple sea
son Heck & Harlow expect to
put in a first class cold storage
plant at their place, which will
be a great convenience to our
people and one long needed.
With a few more such enter
prising citizens, there is no lin
it to what Falls City might be,

McCray is Injoined

An injunction was sued out of
the district court Monday against
McCray to restrain him from
building what is known as the
Jack Crook bridge. 1t seems
that the money has all been ex-
hausted and something had to be
done to keep from running the
county into debt.

Settlers Dead


Settlers Dead
Mrs. Amanda Keim died at Ft.

months and 30 days.
Thus another OF our pioneers
passes away, one who has added

little city.
Coming here with her family in
the early 70's, Mrs. Keim has
watched the many changes Incl
dent to the growth of Falls City
from a mere hamlet to its present
proportions, Her husband, dur
ing his life, was a banker in this
city. He passed to the great be-
yond several years ago, and since
that time Mrs. keim with her
family have lived among us. A
few years ago they moved to their
farm northwest of town but this
spring disposed of their property
and moved back to their city home.
Deceased had been in poor
health for some time and had
gone to Colorado, hoping that the
change would prove beneficial,
but to.no avail, and the sad news
reached her family here that the
summons had come and their
mother was no more, but she had
gone to meet the husband and
children who are awaiting her.
The remains were brought back
to this city Tuesday morning, and
the funeral was held from the
family home Wednesday morning,
conducted by Rev, Dunkle eberger,
assisted by Rev. DIR. Bailey of the
Christian church.
The remains were inferred III

lowed to their last resting place

friends.

HANDED US TWO
FALLS CITY LOST BOTH GAMES
TO ATCHISoN
The First Was a Good One And Was
Witnessed by a Large And
Enthusiastic Crowd

ABOUT Il 1Ily dollar crown VII
messed the first game of ball be-
tween Atchison and Falls City
at Poteet's park Thursday after
noon, and while our boys went
down in defeat, everyone was
satisfied from the fact that the
visitors were among the best
players ever appearing on our
diamond. They are an all sal
aried team and each one a ball
player, and our boys, by being
handicapped by the absence of
some of their best material,
found themselves up against it.
Clayburn pitched for Atchi-
son, and he is a d andy, even if
he does make Severdl revolutions
to the minute before delivering
the ball, and about al our bows
could do was to land on him for
little pop ups.
Billy Schmelzel did the twirl-
ing for Falls City, and proved a
surprise to the fans who had
never witnessed his work before.
While Billy was little wild and
allowed several men to walk, he
would pull himself together at
the critical moment and pitch
ball as good as any of them, All
Billy needs is a little practice
and we'll put him in the box with
the best.
The game started out in fine
style. In the first inning the
first Atchison man got. to first
and worked his way to second,
but the next one was put out at
first, likewise the two following.
Ed Poteet was the first of our
boys at bat but was caught at
first, the same fate Detailing
Craig, while Foehlinger struck
out.
In the second the first of the
visitors was struck out and the
two following we're caught at
first.
Tommy Poteet hit the ball but
didn't hit the sack. then Heck
landed for a neat little hit but
was caught trying to steal sec
ond. HeacoCk got as far as
second by neat little theft, but
died there by COrnell's out at
first.
In the third is where the fun
began. The first man up walked,
then stole second and finally
made the rounds on a two-base
hit by the next man up, he too
crossing the plate. This stopped
their fun, however, as the next
three failed to get to first, viii e
with Falls City it was one, two,
three order.
There was some hard playing
in the fourth. Schmelzel struck
out the first man up aud the
other two were made quick work
of at first. Craig got to first
and made second on an error and
crossed the plate on a safe hit
by Heck.
The game now stood to /,
with our boys trailing, and while
they made desperate effort in
the fifth there was nothing doing
Murphy, Atchison's shortstop,
was mean enough to hit one Tor
a home run in the sixth, and for
time it looked pretty bad fol
our boys but Schmelzel pulled
them out of the hole after filling
all the bases with but one more
score. With our boys it was an
other three men up and side re.
tired.
There was nothing doing il
the seventh, but Atchison added
one more to their score in the
eighth. The ninth inning failed
to bring forth good fruits fol
