Used Dolls to Set Fashions.

Long before women's newspapers
were started, and fashion plates in
their modern form were thought of,
women derived their knowledge of the
fashions from dolls dressed in modern
costumes, which were sent from one
country to another, more especially
from Paris, which then, as now, was
tho leading center of the mode.

ly due to this fact. There has nev-
er been a concentrated effort toward
public improYement-eYery o of
thai nature has been with more or

Had we been blessed with a few 10y
al home boosters that were willing TO
give the glad hand to the stranger
that entered our gate and tell him
this is a good town 10 locate IN, we
would certainly have seen a different
town than the Falls City of today.
How many have ever made an hon
est effort toward getting a little fac
tory to locate in our midst? Is there
any just reason why a half dozen diff
ferent industries we might mention
would not do well In our midst-and
at the same time find employment
for all who were willing to work?
Falls City today has the best op-
p%ortunity EVER presented to make her
self felt in the commercial world. No
town on the globe Is surrounded by
a better farming community; our ship
ping facilities are good, We have a
slightly location and plenty of wealth
to accomplish any desired end in a
public way. As was said to the young
man of old, "one thing thou lackest. -"
In this instance we feel that it is sim

booster from this time on, and then

What is worth more to a man

der sympathy snd assistance places

Is not this sentiment just as true
with a community or town as with an

F. w. Cleveland Interested In New
Auburn Firm.

F. ". Cleveland. formerly owner
of the r. 4. Dittmar store here, has
interested himself in the general mer-
ehandise business at auburn. Of
the deal the Auburn Herald has this
to say:
On Wednesday of this week a deal
was closed through the agency of c..
NJ. Derr by which the general mer-
chandise stock owned by Hogan Bros,
and located at the Anderson & Nc
Naughton old stand, was sold to F..
". Cleveland and M. Sichl, of Ne
braska City.
The firm will be known as Cleve-
land & Sichl, both being experienced
business men, we'll known in this sec
ton of the state. The active man
agement will be in charge of Mr..
Sichl. as Mr.. Cleveland will remain
in Nebraska City where he has a
profitable and long established bust
ness.
The new firm plans to make sever
al changes in the store, among
which will be the complete closing out
4 the chinaware department and an
enlargement of the grocery and dry
goods departments. The stock of
hard ware will also be closed out.
Special inducements will be given
all who call while the stocks above
mentioned are being closed out.
With the doubling in the size of the
grocery and dry goods departments,
the country produce trade will be
given special attention.

Great minds do not differ so much
after all. In speaking of the re-

ident Taft says: "They are low enou-
gh in case of abnormal increase of
demand and raising of prices, to
permit the possibility OF the importa-
ton of the foreign articles, and thus
to prevent excessive prices.' This
has long been the demand of Mr..
Bryan, that foreign competing COM
modities should be allowed easier ac-
cess to u markets, by which more
domestic prices would be reduced.

A Communication. :

To The Tribune:-The Journal ed
itor, who ~confessedly was not in the
"sheep she'd" (but out among the
goats likely when Evangelist Sunday
delivered his powerful address in the
chautauqua tabernacle, and evidently
has not a very intimate acquaintance
with the life and character of the Apos
tie Paul. undertakes to criticize the
"Wayfarer'' of The Tribune for men
tioning those two eyangelistG in the
5ame category.
The Wayfarer was right in two al
lusions to Paul by way of compari-
Son. Both men could testify to the
power of the Gospel in what it had
accomplished in Transforming their
own lives as well as to what it was
doing for others through their in
strumentality.
Notice what the Evangelist Sun
days critics say about his lack of
polish in the language he uses. OF
Paul they said, "his bodily presence
is weak and his speech contempt
ible;" and Paul himself confessed,
Il came not to you with eXcellency
of speech Further the critics and
maligners and prosecutors of both
the Apostle and Evangelist belonged
to the same class of worldlingS who
we're fearful that the influence of
their preaching would tend towards
.depriving them of gains made
Through following an unholy occupa-
'tion, and the same class of hypo-
critical r~eprobates who have ever re-
fused to yield to Gospel influences, no
matter by whom it is preached, are
now finding fault with Sunday, Oliver
and other evangelists just the same
as they m~aligned and prosecuted the
Apostles in their day.

MACHINE POLITICS.

The democratic voice in its last
issue says that Judge Gagnon made
no effort TO secure the nomination for
his continuance In office.
There are times when it becomes
necessary for the chronic office seek
or to LAY down and permit the
machine to do the work. The vote
from both Baradas would show that
the democratic machine was put in X.
cellent shape and well oiled.
Mr.. James. a clean young democrat
ie attorney, who has seen hard SER
vice in the Philippines, carrying
wounds that will shorten his years,
did not receive a vote, while his OPP
p%onent, who is asking for a fifth
term as county judge, received his
nomination in lieu of this splendid
showing in these precincts.
The principles of the democratic
platform declare against a third term,
yet the gang" pillow of the machine
is kept In the same furrow each year
regardless of term so long as the can
didates will heed the dietation of the
gang"
We certainly agree with the demo-
cratic voice, and further assert that
it will be unnecessary for the worthy
candidate to make a personal effort to
secure the democratic vote as the
bosses have already pledged to ne.
