SENSATIONAL LOVE DRAMA.

OENSA L lONAL LOH II DRAMA.
From Bucharest comes a sensa-
tional story of love drama in which
an American plays the principal part.
Prince Zika, who belongs to one of
the noblest Rumanian families, en-
gagged two months ago at Milan an
American chauffeur whose name is
given as William Harver. The new
chauffeur, handsome fellow of
about thirty, fell deeply in love with
his employers beautiful young wife,
and he confessed his passion to her
a few days ago. The princess refused
to listen to him, but promised to
keep the matter from her husband
on condition that Harver imme-
diately took his leave. Harver then
begged to be allowed to apply for his
release the next day, to which the
princess consented
For the same afternoon Prince
Zika had planned a long run in his
new seventy-horsepo car with the
princess, and the latter could find no
plausible excuse to make her hus-
band give up the projected tour. The
prince is an ardent 5notorist and used
to high rate CT speed in o country
where there are as yet no road re-
strictiOns. SO it was nothing strange
that the big car went on verti.inous
pace. Soon the princess became uI-
easy and asked the chauffeur to go
slower, but he only nodded his head
and put On more speed
Never did Harver drive better
along the dangerous winding noun
tain road, at one side of which was a
sheer drop toward the valley. The
most difficult curves were taken with

NOT PROPERLY RESPECTFUL.

NOT PROPERLY RESPECIFUL.
On his way to visit Tolstoi, Mr..
Kellogg Durland, the author of The
Red Reign fell in with friendly
yamschik, or peasant driver, who be-
gan by telling Mr.. Durland that he
had only recently come back from
Manchuria, where he had served all
through the war. 1t was evident that
he had. not enjoyed the service par
ticularly, for he told how, after the
first battle, he and seven of his COM
rades held a secret council.
They all agreed that war was d
bad job. Not one of them knew just
why he was fighting, and the idea of
shooting people whom they did not
know, and in return being shot at,
appeared to them as wrong. At the
same time, the government and their
officers made them do these things.
One old soldier, from Tula, the
town of Tolstoi's home, suggested
writing to Tolstoi, and letter was
intited and sent to him. In the
course of time these soldiers received
their answer, in which Tolstoi told
them that he believed all war was
wrong; that the army had no busi-
ness in Manchuria, and that if the
consciences of the soldiers troubled
them they should not shoot.
"After that" continued the yams-
chik, 1--WE always knew what to do.
We knew in our hearts that it was
10 Erh oir
stances. We marched into battle be-
cause we had to, but after few min
utes our officers would all disappear;
then we all ran away. We ran every
time afterward."
Mr.. Durland told this story to a
Red Cross nurse later for the humor
of it. She laughingly said she was
sure it was true, because one night,
after the battle of Mukden, a young
captain was brought into her ward
with an injured head.
His wounds were not serious, and
shortly after they had been bandaged
the officer began to laugh loudly. She
went over to him. and asked what
amused him so greatly.
''The way 1 was wounded, he re-
piled. Our regiment had not been
long exposed to fire when 1 decided
it was too hot for comfort. l looked
all about for some place of shelter.
At last I espied a small gully or ra-
vine, so, suddenly running toward it.
l leaped in, only to find my general
and my colonel there before me.
"Well, there wasn't room for all
three of us, so we began to nudge
and push each other, for none want
ed to get into the open again. Fin
ally the general said to me:
"'Captain, you are not showing
becoming Difference to your superior
officers, sir!'
cat that" concluded the young
captain, Il had to crawl out. AS [
did so a shell exploded near by, and
piece of it hit me in the forehead,
causing my wound"

The fibre of the dwarf palma

natives bring the palm leaves, which
are transformed into vegetable fibre

spun and braided. The material has
the advantage over horsehair of
being proof against moths and in

REPUBLICAN, BANQUET

The more the idea of a repub.
lican "get together banquet is
discussed the morefavorable be.
comes the sentiment in favor of
it. There are really two repub-
lican parties in this county, one
in the west end and one in the
east end. These two parties
are in earnest for republican
success but very often work at
eros purposes. The way for the
party to achieve success is for
everybody to Join forces and
work in unison. The only way to
work in unison is for all repub-
licans to join on some definite
plan of action and work along
similar lines to a given end.
If the east end doesn't know
the plans of the west end, or
vice versa, there is no united
effort, and, consequently, efforts
are often wasted. Let's all get
together. Let us give a ban
quet and let all republicans
from all over the county attend.
Arrange a program of distinc-
tive merit, including good
speakers from other states as
well as Nebraska.a and form some
definite plan of action for the
future.

VICIOUS BILL

The parcel post agitation is
c%entering around the express
companies. This is wrong and
wholly wrong. While the ex-
press companies would probably
suffer, the real injury would be
done the merchants in the small
cities. For years the big mail
order houses have been main.

in the interest of this bill. These
commercial pirates figure that
ii they are permitted to send
their wares to the farmers over
the rural routes that the resi-
dents of the rural districts will
not go to their towns as often is
heretofore and, therefore, the
business of the mail order houses
will be increased. We once
heard an employee of Montgom-
cry q Ward say that they fgur-
ed that every time a farmer
went to town, even If his visit
was for the purpose OF getting
freight that his company had
sold them, the mail order house
lost ten dollars. with t h e
rural route and the telephone
we have reduced these visits"
he continued. eff we can get the
parcel post we will cut them out
still more, for then there will
be no necessity to go to town
except to sell their products.
The parcel post would be the
greatest blow the small towns
and cities have ever suffered.

Who would be a city officer?
The mayor and council have
worked early and late in the in
terest of the people. They have
sacrificed personal business and
interest that a good government
should be provided for the citi-
zens of Falls City and
that the money of the tax
payers should be expended
judiciously and honestly. Their
reward is the deplorable assaults
of a desperate newspaper whose
columns have been productive
of so much that is bad and so
little that is for good for the
peace and welfare of our people.
Fortunately the character of the
newspaper is so we'll known now
that its power for evil has reach
ed the minimum.

The sixteen page paper pub
lished by The Tribune last week
was all printed in the Tribune
office, and all printed during
the week, and did not interfere
in the least with the constant
running of our job printing
plant. More than that, The
Tribune, as 1t always is, was the
first paper in the post office.
The Tribune is today the best
equipped printing office in
Southeastern Nebraska and has
a larger pay roll than all other

ments really belong. He cannot
be generous and at the same

A certain local paper had but
TOUR original articles on its edi-
torial page last week. Just
four, count 'en, four, and every
one was concerning the Tribune.
Can it be that SOMEBODY getting
uneasy? Is the Tribune troub-
ling somebody's dreams? Let
as tell you something, brother.
We are not as old in years as
you but we've learned the lesson
Of life better, we think. There
IS only one paper on earth that
can stop the remarkable growth
Of the Tribune, a growth that
mas accomplished more in four
years than you have in thirty,
and that paper is the Tribune.
All that you may say will not
make the Tribune a good paper,
or a poor one, we alone can do
that. What we say here is not
intended to wound your feelings,
we have TOO much sympathy for
you to do that, we merely want
10 give you a little friendly adj
vice as to the folly of your
course. SO long as we turn out
the character of work that we
do we will continue to get the
work as we are now doing. You
cannot prevent this by assaults,
falsehood or inuendoes. Such
conduct reacts on the one who
perpetrates it and accomplishes
no more than to convince your
readers that somebody is sore.
And they know why.

1t is estimated by Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson, that the total
value of farm products for the
year 1908, is the greatest of the
worlds history. Their value is
placed at SITS, 100000, or nearly
500. for every man, woman and
child in our country. Agriculture
is a great industry and will become
more prominent as time rolls by.
