An Impromptu Reunion.

Spokane, Wash, Oct. 31.-Henry III.
Smith, an employe Of the Union Iron
Works, and George H. Murphy, con-
stable in Justice G. w. Suckers court,
who fought side by side on the battle
ship Powhatan at the stormlng of FIT.
Fisher, in the winter of 1865, met
for the first time since that memora-
BILE day In the yard of the foundry
where Murphy was distributing cam
paign literature.
"Comrade," said Smith, accosting
Murphy, Il never went back on one
of those buttons"
"Comrade, l salute you and much
obliged" replied Murphy. What
command, if may ask?"
"Oh, saw most of my service aboard
the Powhatan," said Smith, "and was
at Fort Fisher"
rs that SO, Let's compare notes,
came from Murphy.
When they finished checking up
they found they were not only in the
same command, but had rubbed ell
bows during the heat of the engage
ment. There was a G. A. R. reunion
that evening at the Smith home, 16
Byrne avenue, where some unpub-
lished history of Fort Fisher engage
ment was discussed by the two veter-
ans.

With the Jungle Folk.

Spokane, Wash, Oct. 31.-Three
cub lions were born at Lewiston, Ida
no, south of Spokane, making a for
midable addition to A. G. Barnes jun
gle tribe. They were taken from the
lioness a half hour after birth, and
are now being fed by means Of bot
tie. The lioness does not appear to
realize she has sustained the loss OF
her cubs, and the little lions are con-
tented in their box, which has place
back of stove in the Barnes home
They eagerly drink the warm milk
from the bottle through rubber tube
and are thriving.

The Bailey controversy which agi-
tated the entire State last spring has
narrowed down to Caske county, the
senator's home. An anonymous wri-
ter in the Gainesville Hesperian is
trying to ascertain Bailey's position
on the question of statewide prohibi-
ton, while another writer who also
hides behind pen name defends his
distinguished fellow townsman in the
Register. To give our readers an idea
of the nature the controversy a few
delectable morceaux are quoted:
There is a little dirty bird in
Gainesville; one that SEEKS to befoul
its own nest, and pretends to be bird
ing" for an absent eagle.
The democratic scribbler for the
Register says: "The Head of Our
Party" is leader of men. He knows
this for he has Col. r. M. Johnson's
word for it. Where does this leader
of men stand upon the question OF
prohibition"
Nobody but rank fool would pen
such trash for an intelligent public to
read. 1t reminds the writer of the old
couplet:
"A long tongue and hollow head,
Lots of noise and nothing said"

II will be observed there is differ
ence in the totals of the government
and that figured by The Eagle man.
The discrepancy probably arises in es'
timating the number of round bales.
The increase in the size of the crop
is considerably greater than SO 10
per cent, while the difference in price
Is less than 25 per cent below that of
same date last year. The Galveston
News of the 26th quotes spot cotton
at that port at &c; same date last
year, lie, a difference of &c per pound,
or decline of less than % per cent In
price, against an increase in the crop
of more than SO 1-3 per cent.

The White City"

Such is the thought that enters
ones mind upon their first sight
of the Chautauqua grounds as
they appear today.
The large auditorium has been
painted a snow white as haye also
the fences and everything need
ing paint, and when the Chautau-
qua opens everything will be in
the best of order.
If you have not visited the
grounds recently we would advise
you to take walk that way and
see what a pretty park we have.
The residence has been moved
from the grounds, and in its place
is large flower bed, while many
others are scattered about over
the grounds. The grass is in fine
condition, and many trees haye
been planted. 1t is now only a
matter of a very short time until
we have one of the finest parks
imaginable.

SOMETHING DOM
HIAWATHA AND FALLS CITY TO
CROSS BATS
Harnack's HiaWatha First Regiment
Band VIII Give Concert in
the Evening.

Arrangements have finally been
completed for game of ball be
tween Falls City and Hiawatha,
to take place at Poteet's park next
Thursday afternoon, July 25rd,
The Hiawatlfa team will be ac-
companied by their band and
large crowd Of rooters, and we all
know what that means. The
band will play on the street be-
fore the game and at the park,
and in the evening there will be
grand concert in the court house
yard. This will be a great treat
for our people, who are so hungry
for band music, especially the
kind Harnack's band furnishes.
We know all about their band,
but they will have to show us as
to their ball team. From all re
ports they have been playing fast
ball, but there are others. They
enjoy the distinction of having
won every game this season, and
think how much fun it will be to
break their record. OF course we
don't say we'll do this, but we
think we will. Anyway it will
be good game and everyone will
attend, if not for the game to hear
the music.
The game will be called at $3.50.
Follow the band.

WILL CHANGE LOCATION.
The Leo Cider and Vinegar Com
pany Purchases New Site.

The Leo Cider and Vinegar
company last week purchased
from Ben Poteet ten acres Of land
adjoining the city park and will
at once move their plant to that
location, where it will be en-
larged and many improvements
made. The business of this in
stitution has made a wonderful
growth since opening up in this
city about two years ago, CON-
pletely outgrowing their present
quarters, thus making this move
necessary. The Leo Cider and
Vinegar factory is an industry
of which our citizens are all
justly proud.

ACID IN THE DEMlJOHN.
Joe Warner Has Narrow Escape
From Serious Injuries.

We would advise you not to
ask Joe Warner anything about
that little experience he had
last Friday, as it is something
he would rather not talk about.
In handling the express at the
depot that day, he came across
a demijohn. Now a demiiohn
looks good to great many peo-
pie, likewise did this one to Joe,
but he hadn't figured correctly
on the contents, which happened
to be acid used in testing cream,
and which is very powerful, as
the results will show. In pick
ing up the package the cork
flew out throwing the contents
on Mr.. Warner, almost burning
his clothes from his body, even
to his shoes and socks, but for
tunately did not reach the flesh.
Joe was in an awful plight, and
had it happened IN the days
when the telephones were not in
use, he would have been com
PEELED to go home in a barrel,
but he went to the phone and
told Jim Pickett OF his prelica-
ment, who Immediately came to
the rescue with new outfit, and
this is the reason for joe
spruced up appearance, and not
because his wife is out of town,
as many supposed.
However, it was a close shave
and hereafter Joe will have moth.
ing more to do with the handling
of the express.

WITH OUR CITY DADS.
Much Business Transacted at Their
Meetings This Week.

The city council met at their
rooms Monday evening with all
members present except Maust,
and transacted cons i d er a b e
business.
The sidewalk committee got
busy and the clerk was instruct
ed to issue notices and have the
police serve same on property
owners of condemned sidewalks
in the third ward.
The city clerk was also in
structed to advertise for bids
for coal for water and light plant
and tor hauling same.
The council instructed the city
engineer to make plans and spe-
cifcationS of mains and stand
pipe, giving size of mains from
well to the southwest corner of
Joe Miles block Just west OF the
High school grounds, also the
same to point opposite 10th
street on the park grounds, and
show total cost in either place
of location of standpipe. After
general discussion Of the SUBJ
iect the council adjourned until
the next evening.
Tuesday evening the question
of the location of the stand pipe
was taken up, and on motion of
Hahn, seconded by |. b. Whit
aker, it was decided to locate
same on the Miles property, on
block 3, situated one block west
OF High school.
The specifications for water
works, as read by city engineer,
were adopted.
Council then ad djourned to meet
again on next Monday evening.

Next Sunday Rev. Dunkleber-

mon in this city at the Christian

friends here, both in and out of
his church, who will be sorry to
see them go, and the Tribune es-
pecially, as we feel indebted to
him for the many favors he has
bestowed upon us, and wherever
he decides to locate he NAV feel

Broke the Record.

Fred Nettlebeck is very proud
of the fact that he broke the re-
cord while in Colorado in making
the trip from Manitou to Pixies
Peak. He started from the for
mer place at o'clock in the NOR
ming and reached the top of the
Peak at 11:15, covering the dis
tance in five hours and fifteen
minutes. Out of the crowd that
made the start but two completed
the trip, Fred and one other
gentleman. Fred is a little puffed
up over this record, and says if
you don't believe this just come
TO him and he'll show you the cre-
dentials.

NOW YOUR WEEDS
We Should Begin at once to Clean
up For Chautauqua.

In just three weeks our chau-
tauqua will open it's gates, and
we would suggest that every res
ident NOW their weeds and get
their property in the best pos
sible condition before then. No
doubt thousands of visitors will
be in our city during the assem-
bly, and nothing will give them
as good an impression as beauti-
full lawns and clean streets.
We feel sure the city officials
Will do their part in cleaning up
the streets and all city property
and it is hoped the citizens will
display enough pride in their
home town by making their
property as attractive as pos.
sible, so that when our visitors
so home they can take with
them the memory OF one of the
prettiest towns they ever visit
ed. Do your part.

disappointed. The Preston In
dams were represented as the
best ever, but fell an easy prey
to our boys. The score was 8
to Z, but was not as good a game,
as the score would indicate, as
it should have been a shut-out
game, our boys getting careless,
knowing they did not have to
play ball.
On next Thursday, however,
will be the game of the season,
when Hiawatha comes over.
There will be no fooling on that
day and everybody will be in
the game and play ball Don't

The game last Thursday after
noon with Mound City was a
very poor exhibition OF ball
playing, even worse than that
of the day before, and proved
that the visitors will have to get
about nine new players if they
expect to meet this aggregation
again. They are a nice bunch
of fellows, all right, but they
just can't play ball. AS to the
score, we really do not know the
final outcome, but at last re-
ports it was IA to Z and our boys
still making the rounds.

see a good game but were again

To Our Fruit Growers.

When the Horticultural soci.

day and Wednesday, it is hoped
they will be greeted by not only
large and enthusiastic crowd,
but that our many fruit growers
will place on display samples of
the fruit raised by them. There
will be visitors here from all
parts of the state and now is a
good opportunity to prove to
them that Richardson county is
the garden spot of the state. A
fine display could be brought in
from around Barada, where the
best fruit imaginable is raised.
With very little trouble, a fine
display could be made which
would rebound to the credit Of
this county.
