Did His Christmas Shopping

On last Saturday Grandpa
Duerfeldt, who is past eighty
two years of age, came to town
to do his Christmas shopping.
For many years he has made this
annual visit to our city and be-
fore he returns home, he has re-
memb bered each one of his child
rem and grandchildren with a
Christmas gift.
Mr.. Duerfeldt remembers the
beautiful story, one that never
grows old-and as the thread of
the story is woven around each
succeeding year, what is more
appropriate in celebration of the
holiday than a spirit of giving
and forgiving.

Big Crowds at the Lyric

The incest entertainments of
the season were the Musical
Georgettes at the Lyric Monday
and Tuesday evenings.
This is a fine company and
our people who failed to hear
the beautiful music and especi-

Miss Georgette, are the losers.
The pictures were fine and

EXPERT OPERATING ENGINEER
AND ELECTRICIAN ARRIVED
The Water and Light Plants are
Completed But No Final
Settlements Made

On December l., Mr.. Borden,
the contractor for the lighting
plant reported to the council
that he had completed the said
plant and asked for a final set
tlement.
The council was unwilling
to settle without a competent
electrician taking charge and
operating it for thirty days, for
the purpose of asCertaining the
real condition. And if salts
factory at the end of said time
they would accept the plant and
Immediately make the final set
tlement.
This brought up the question
of who should be the man to
test the plant. After consider.
able controversy, the council
decided upon Chas. Stanton of
Omaha. Mr.. Stanton came and
stayed a short time, but he and
the city failed to agree on
terms and he returned to
Omaha. Since then the council
nave put forth every effort
to secure a thoroughly compe-
tent man to take charge.
On Wednesday of this week a
man arrived from Sandusky,
Ohio, who will report the actual
condition of the plant after Civ
ing it fair trial.
The water plant is also com
pleted. The pipes are laid, the
the standpipe finished and the
wells dug, but the proper CON
nections have not been made.
At this writing no final settle
mentS have been made.

Why Not Do This?

Falls City claims to have the
best girls basket ball team. Why
don't Falls City and Sabetha girls
play game in Hiawatha? This
is fair meeting point.-Hiawatha
World.
If Sabetha has girls team that
is really worth while, the above
invitation should be accepted. So
far this season no team has been
able to interest our girls, and a
game W it h worthy opponents
would be worth going miles to see.
If this game is played the Tribune
will bet two to one that Hiawatha
will say that "our girls are the
prettiest and fastest crowd of
basket ball players that little burg
has ever seen. Don't let this go
default, follow the suggestion up
and match a game.

Mr.. Rahlf made tour entries,
two in the National exhibit and

exhibit, premium, S2.85; ten ears
in State exhibit, premium S1O0.

WINS BOTH GAMES
Tecumseh and Falls City Plays
Basket Ball

rhe basket ball games between
the Tecumseh and Falls City high
school teams last Friday night was
really too one-slded to be interest
ing. A large crowd was in attend
ance and the various If not melodi-
Gus high school yells were much
IN evidence.
Our girls merely played with
their opponents and only quit
scoring out of sympathy for the
young ladies from the west. The
final score was 50 to ).
The boys game had little more
ginger in it. The local five show
ed better work than they have dis
played before. Their opponents
were completely outclassed b II t
fought gamely Notwithstanding
the great superiority of our boys.
The official scorer announced the
result as go to | in favor of Falls
City.
The Crete team, champions of
the state, will play the boys at the
gymnasium on the night of De-
cember 30th. An effort Is being
made to secure a coach from Kan
sas City to develope our boys in
the finer points of the game before
meeting Crete.

SENT TO JAIL
Gcmpers and Mitchell Are in For
Contempt

The Supreme court of the
District of Columbia, on We'd
nesday sentenced Samuel Comp
ers of the Federation of labor to
one year in jail and John Mitch
e. of the miners union to nine
months in jail for contempt of
court.
The case arose out of the in
junction issued by the court
restraining the defendants from
boycotting the Buck Stove Co.
The defendants defied the court
and the law and continued the
boycott.
This question figured largely
during the late presidential
campaign Mr.. Gompers in his
speeches to laboring men con
strued the democratic platform
as endorsing the boycott. Gov.
Hughes of New York and Presi-
dent Roosevelt publicly asked
Mr.. Bryan if he put the same
interpretations on the platform
that Gompers did. Mr.. Bryan
declined to answer and as a re-
suit the entire manufacturing e
interest of the east got busy.
Political wiseacres contend that
this aided largely in Mr.. Bryan's S
defeat.

or two afterward the flags were taken
out to hoist to passing vessel, includ-
ing the International Code of Signals
After we had finished the signalling
and the flags were spread on deck pre-
paratory to being rolled up, I said:
Jack, bring me the ensign and he
at once selected it out of the lot Now
bring me the Union Jack" and he
selected it from the other flags and
brought it to me. "Brin< nee the House

The mate suggested that we teach him
the International Code flags, and we
did teach him the answering PEN
nant," the pilot" flag and the quar-
antine'' flag, but went no further on
these lines.
I had three pipes-a meerschaun, a
clay and corncob. I could send for
any of them and he would bring the
one asked for and never make a mis-
take. He seemed to understand every
word spoken to him. He knew what
eight bells meant, the calling of the
watch. but he would never go forward
to call unless sent. If man was miss

the mate had to say was Jack, go and

In port Jack was the most reliable

Nothing escaped his notice, and it was
a study TO watch him drink in knowl
edge of mtn and things. If there was
a possibility of danger. to the ship he
never left the deck at night, and we
relied upon him more than we could
upon our human companions. He was
a canine wonder, and some of the men
said the only reason why he did not
talk was because if he did he would
not have such easy times and would
have TO stand regular watch instead
of all night in if he wanted it.-Pet
