AN APPRECIATION

The Tribune desires to give
lis heartiest endorsement to the
statements in last weeks News
concerning prof. Hurst.
our schools are in excellent
shape and should be the pride
of all Falls City. Under Prof.
Tubie, Prof. Hurst and Miss
Beck they have reached their
highest efficiency, and nothing
tending to lower the standard
should be countenaneed for a
minute.
All three Of these excellent
teachers have been reelected,
but il some additional induce.
ment is not offered Prof. Hurst,
we are in danger of losing him.
No man IS indispensable, but
some are more nearly SO than
others, among these is Prot.
Hurst.
Many men would like TO lead
children. but there are few men
whom children will 70 o W,
among these is Prof. Hurst.
Given the desire to lead schol-
ars along higher and nobler
lines and the ability to accomp-
lish this desire and you have
the essentials of a great educa.
tor, such a man is Prof. Hurst.
Upon the things this young
man has done and is doing for
the youth of Falls City you can
not place a money value. The
love the children have for him
Is the secret Of his control over
chem.
To lose his services now would
be a calamity that must not be
permitted.
Every patron of the school
will applaud such increase as
Will continue his services in our
schools, Likewise every patron
will vigorously resent aniggard
~ policy and a false economy
that for 4 lew dollars will deny
the children of the high school
the benefit of the services and
influence OF this Young man Of
high ideals and exceptional &C.
complishments.

TIE BANK


The democratic house b a $

that IS a wonder. The principle
of such a law is wrong as a bust

the principle Of the thing and
coming down to the provisions
of the bill itself and We find one
of the most absurd pieces OF
legislation this state has ever
produced. and that is goin G
some.

taxes and expenses ought to

bank stock owned.
Suppose Il person own n &
bank stock should die leaving
his bank stock to his children,
who own no real estate, what.
then, will be done: viii the
bank stock be taken away from
them
Suppose one owning b ank
stock and real estate desires to
sell his real estate and does so,
can he likewise be compelled to
dispose of his bank stock?
These questions suggest their
own answers. 1t doesn't require
much of a constitutional lawyer
to see what is going to happen
10 this law when the courts get
TO it.
But, as a member of the legIs-
lature said recently, We will
pass the law and let the repub-
lican supreme court declare it
invalid and that wall help us
Which illustrates the class of
statesmen we have in the legjs

We think the Auburn plan of
meeting the saloon question the
best of any suggested. Each
spring Auburn has a mass meet.
ing which is participated in by
all citizens regardless of party.
The men receiving the highest
vote from one ticket and those
receiving the next highest make
up the other ticket. Each can
didate pledges himself TO abide
by the majority rule on the sa'
loon question without regard tc
his personal preference. The
question of saloons or no saloons
IS printed on the ballots, which
makes the contest one OF prin.
clple and not of men. No Of.
fetal of Auburn has ever be.
trayed the people or violated his
pledge.
This seems to us the fairest
method suggested and the one
least calculated to engender
riction or strife.

SIM NEGLECT

The present city c ouncil has
certainly passed through a very
strenuous years work. In lieu
of the fact that each one of the
members have their share of
personal business tribulations,
and in order TO give the required
time and attention to city af-
fairs necessary to protect the
city in the public work Just
completed, they must at times
neglect personal affairs, il would
be just and fitting that at a
gathering of representative cit
zens, met for the purpose of Sc
lecting their successors, would
at least extend thanks TO the
out going members for their
worthy effort in the public's be
half. With half adozen or more
contracts on their hands that
required much time and the clos
est attention, we cannot help
but admit that every member of
the present board has more or
less neglected his own affairs to
become a faithful public servant.
That their labors have been well
done, we need TO but point to
the splendid light and water
plant that is now doing service.
No city of its size in the state is
better lighted than is Falls City.
Our new water plant is now fur.
niShing an abundance of good
water, while the fire protection
is all that could be asked.

generally feel grateful to these
gentlemen for this untiring eff
tort for the betterment of public
conditions, and that twas mere.

FROM UP THE ALLEY

For weeks past the paper up
the alley has been bowling for
the nomination of a democratic
ticket, and while a veil was
thrown over the mayoralty. the
echo came back in full force last
Monday evening when the pet
family OF that great party got
all they asked for with a trihe
thrown in Tor fear the great
moulder of public opinion lin
Falls City had neglected to ask
for it.
Inasmuch as his son in-law
has posed as a temperance work.
er and the probability was that
this party at the proper time
would place him in nomination
for the office of city clerk, it was
deemed proper at this time and
place to make a sure shot on
that office and shut out compe.
tition by placing him on the wet
ticket, The aforesaid son.in.
law was present and participant
ed in the making of the slate
with great satisfaction to the
entire family.
Next, the heir to the throne OF
his father came in for his share
OF the honors that were being
passed SO freely and apparently
came as if they we're creased.
He was given the nomination
for councilman for the first ward.
1t has been suggested. that in
order to make it Just right, Col.
Clay should have been placed al
the head of the ticket tor mayor,
and the other male heir given
the nomination for treasurer.
In this event there would have
been no doubt that at last q
combination would have beer
found to perform the duties per.
tanning to the city for at least
one year, to the perfect salts

paper up the said alley"

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT FRANCHISE.

Probably so important question
has never been brought before the
citizens of Bemidji as is the renewal
of the electric light franchise by the
CITY to the Warfetd Electric CON-
pany.
The proposed franchise, as was
printed in the Daily Pioneer of Sat-
urday, came up for its final passage
last evening and at the request of
over fifty of the heavy tax payers Of
the city the final passage was de-
ferred until next Monday evening,
that the citizens might have more
time in which to investigate the
ACCESSIBILITY of the passage of the
franchise as that article was drafted
and presented to the city for its
adoption.
A special meeting of the citizens
is called for this evening and the
commercial club invites the citizens
of Bemidji to attend this meeting
and express their views on the pro-
posed ordinance.
Questions of a public nature of
this kind which affects the taxable
property of the city for fifteen years
should be gone over carefully before
entering into the contract.
A franchise of this kind is, or is
not, valuable asset to city; as
the people of the city make it.
The Pioneer hopes to see repre-
sentative body of the citizens of Be-
midi at the commercial club meet
ing this evening.

HARTMAN STOCKS
AGAIN HARD HIT
Rumors Regarding FinancIer's
Health the Cause.

New York, Aus. 30-The conflicting
rumors concerning the health of Mr..
Hartman found their reflection in a
very irregular opening of the stock
market. The Hartman stocks were
the most conspicuous feature, with a
loss of 2A points in Union Pacific and
1 in Southern Pacific. Losses in other
active issues ran from l to III points,
Soon after the opening Union Pacific
made further fractional decline,
placing it below the low figure of last
Thursday. There was some pressure
upon United States Steel common, but
market movements as a whole were
rather confusing. Some disposition
was manifest to shake off the influ-
ence of Mr.. Harriman's health and to
consider rather the condition of his
properties.
Soon after the first hour a fresh
selling movement appeared in the
Hartman stocks, which sent Union
Pacific down to 194B, decline of five
points, and Southern Pacific down to
125, loss of ~. Reading was off 2
points and New York Central and
Northern Pacific as much or more
The general list sold off in sympathy
and the selling movement was strong
ly suggestive Of wholesale liquidation.
The downward course of the stock
market was arrested in the second
hour, when semi-official statements
were issued denying the reports that
Mr.. Hartman was to undergo a sur
gical operation.
The dying out of the early scare was
reflected in a constantly broadening
and strengthening market, which
reached it's climax at the close. I'm
ion Pacific was bid for eagerly and
the scramble for the stock sent it up
over three points from the lowest, to
1875, where it ended. Full recover
les were scored by some other stocks,
particularly Reading and United
States Steel, the last named being
heavily absorbed around 1914.

UNCLE SANS MAIL ORDER BUSINESS.

The newspaper press association
in the various organizations over the
United States are protesting against
the government, which, in the light
of the local printer, is the news
papers worst competitor. An editor
of prominence, speaking before the
Ohio association, gave facts and
figures showing that the post office
department was not making a cent,
but losing money on production of
stamped return envelopes.
One special feature as grounds for
remonstrance is that Uncle Sam is
not doing the printing, but gives
work to a private printing institution
located at Dayton, 0. Figures show
that the government loses annually
on the stamped envelope deal $780,
900.
Another, perhaps the greatest
opposition the government makes
for the local printers, a Dayton con-
Germ which publishes millions of cir.
culars, advertising jobs, etc., and the
government, the people pay out an
nually $1,60O,000 to this printing
establishment, and with Uncle Sam
as agent, with sub-agents at every
cross-road in the country, work is
solicited for this private establish
ment, to the detriment of the local
printer. Is thisnot sufficient grounds
for the home printer, who urges
patronage of home institutions, to
appeal to the senators and represent
tatives to call halt of Uncle Sans

CURTISS WINS
CHIEF Event
American Aviator Captures
International Cup.
BREAKS FORMER RECORDS

Covers Two Laps of the Course, About
Twelve and One-haIf Miles, in Less
Than Sixteen Minutes, a Rate OF
Over Forty-seven Miles an Hour
Closest Competitor Only Five Sec.
onds Behind.
Rheims, France, Aug. 3I-Glenn H.
Curtiss, the only American aviator at
BetheDy, won the international cup of
aviation, the most important event of
aviation week. He covered the two
laps of the course, twenty kilometers,
or 1912 miles, in Is minutes 50 7s
seconds. This is at the rate of 1855
miles an hour.
Bleriot, his most formidable com
petitor, made the distance in Is min
utes 567s seconds. Latham did not
start.
The international cup of aviation is
known otherwise as the Gordon Ben
nett trophy. It is an object of art
valued at $500, which goes to the
winning club, and $4,000 to the avi-
ator. The course is two laps of the
Betheny aerodrome.
Before starting in the contest Mr..
Curtiss made trial heat in 7 min
utes 5515 seconds. All three rounds

all aviators. The distance covered in
each round was slightly over six
miles.
Bleriot, one of the French con-
testants, started in the international
cup contest soon after the Curtiss ma
chine was on the field and made a
trial round in 7 minutes 581A seconds.
Bleriot, in his flight for the interna-
tional cup, covered the first round in
7 minutes 533s seconds, two-fifths of
second behind Curtiss' best time for
lap. His time for the two laps is
given officially as Is minutes 561s Sec
onds, five seconds slower than Cur
tiss' time for the full distance. Latham
did not start and consequently Cur
tiss is the winner in this great inter-
national event.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they caunot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inf1amed condition Of the mucus lining
Of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have a rambling sound or
imperfect hearing. and when it is entirely
closed. Deafness is the result. and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this tube
be destroyed forever: nine cases out OF ten
are caused by Catarrh. which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
