THE DAY OF THE EQUINE.
MOTOR CARS TAKE BACK SEAT
FOR ONE DAY.
The Horse Beautiful On Exhibition
Wednesday-FaI City's First
Horse Show a Success

A high-power and beautiful auto
mobile ran chugging and popping out
of the Mcclure 81 Schmelzel garage
Wednesday afternoon of last week
and sped northward up Stone street.
Gid Whitaker's jack, whose name Is
not Maude, stuck his ears aloft, and
skinning his teeth in a contemptuous
laugh, said, "He-Haw," In a tone
that would make the fire siren sound
like an evening breeze to deaf
man.
For it was the day of the horse
the fine, patient. beautiful servant of
man, and even a jackass was priv
ileged to laugh at motor cars.
And such horsse! Drafts, roadsters.
saddlers, drivers, colts and ponies
paraded all day to the delight of the
great crowd. 1t must have been
day OF unalloyed pleasure to Herman
Wulf. Mr.. Judd, MIR Scarlet and the
many others who had labored SO
a success.
Now that we have been educated
as to what horse show really is,
and have learned in a measure what
really fine horses southeastern Ne
braska and northern Kansas possess,
the determination seems universal to
have another horse show next fall
that will even surpass the one just
concluded. The next show, however,
must be held in the City park, where
more room will be available for judg-
ing and where the crowd may be bet
ter accommodated. Too many of the
visitors were unable to see the class
es, and the crowd encroached on the
ring too much The present inten-
tion is to build base ball grand
stand at the park next spring, and
If the park board will put in a small
track it would made the conditions
ideal for a horse show.
For some time Falls City has been
devising means to furnish our farm
er friends with some clean and
wholesome entertainment, as an ex-
preston of our appreciation of the
support and loyalty of the neighbor-
ing farming community. We have
and vulgar noises, and such other
character of entertainment, that
seemed for the time suitable, but a
good farmers institute and a good
horse show given at the expense of
our merchants seems to fill the bill
exactly. Every farmer loves horse;
in fact there is something wrong
with fny man who does not love
norse. A competitive exhibition of
entertainment-it is an education and
an encouragement towards better
stock as well. Unless the signs fail
the horse show held here last week
will result in many farmers improv-
ing the class of their horses. One
suggestion we would like to make
and 1t is this: Next year let the
judge explain to the crowd the rea-
sons why the winners are given the
ribbons, and the more important
points upon which the awards are
made By so doing we will all come
to learn the finer points of the horse,
and the competitors will not be left
in ignorance why their entries were
unpiaeed x

The City Federation met Monday
in the club rooms. The committee
appointed last month to look after
the buying of a piano made their re-
port and submitted several very good
prices made them on different instru-
ments They asked that one member
from each club be appointed to work
with them, either in buying or rent
ing In complying with the re-
quest the president appointed in ad-
dition to the original committee, Mrs.
Morsman, Miss Margaret Steele and
Miss Alice Cleaver. Mrs. M. l.. VIII
son is chairman of the committee.
The official board of the City FEEDER
alton was also appointed: Mrs. .Ewalt,
chairman; Mrs. Morsman and the
president of each of the other clubs,
constitute the board. This committee
will communicate with the county
board at the earliest possible date re-
garding the putting in of a heating
plant at the county farm. This is a
matter of Importance and interest
throughout the county, and it is hop
ed that the board can be induced to
put in the plant before the cold
weather sets in. Miss Alice
Cleaver was appointed art director
of the City Federation. Several other
matters of minor Importance came
up, but no official action or plan was
adopted By the next meeting it is
believed the piano committee Will
have some definite report to make.
Quite little new material has been
taken into the club rooms, and they
will soon be in an attractive and
inviting condition.

In Five Minutes.

Take your sour stomach-or maybe
you callsit Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Gas
tritis or Catarrh of Stomach; it doesn't
matter-take your stomach trouble
right with you to your Pharmacist and
ask him to open 5O-cent case of Pa
pes Diapepsin and let you eat one %
grain Triangule and see if within five
minutes there is left any trace of your
stomach misery.
The correct name for your trouble is
Food Fermentation food souring; the
Digestive organs become weak, there
is lack of gastric juice; your food is
only half digested, and you become af-
fected with loss of appetite, pressure
and fullness after eating, vomiting,
nausea. heartburn, gripping in bowels,
tenderness in the pit of stomach, bad
taste in mouth, constipation, pain in
limbs, sleeplessness, belching of gas,
biliousness, sick headache, nervousness,
dizziness and many other similar symp-
toms.
: If your appetite is tickle, and moth
ing temp,s you, or you belch gas or if
you feel bloated after eating, or your
food lies like lump of lead in your
stomach, you can make up your mind
that at the bottom of all this there is
but one cause-fermentationIof undigest-
ed food.
Prove to yourself, after your next
meal, that your stomach is as good as
any; that there is nothing really wrong.
Stop this fermentation and begin eat
ing what you want without fear of dis
comfort of misery
Almost instant relief is waiting for
you. 1t if merely matter of how
soon you take little Diapepsin.

Weather.crop Bulletin.

Des Moines, Iowa, April 49, The
weather during the past week has been
abnormally cold, wet and cloudy.
Freezing Temperatures occurred in all
parts of the state. the minimum rang
ing from 80 degrees in the southeastern
to lS degrees in the northwestern coun-
ties on the 18th. Lower temperatures
were reported on April IA, 1908, and
April Ia, 1905, than have occurred dur
ing the past week; but the average
minimum temperature at the central
station for the first fifteen days of this
month was lower than has been re-
corded during the first half of April
since 1881. The amount of precipita-
tion at Des Moines for the first fifteen
days of the month breaks all former
records of the central station for the
first half of April, the total being 2.92
inches, or 20 inch more than any pre-
vious record. From one to three inches
of snow fell on two days during the
week in the northern half of the state,
and rains have been frequent in all
parts of the state and heavy in south
ern and eastern sections. Very little,
if any, field or garden work has been
done, and in some parts of the state
oats sown over week ago have not
yet been covered. Some of the early
sown oats in the southern counties are
up and the reports in regard to the
condition of winter grains and clover
are more promising than they were
last week. Most fields show a good
stand, and the plants are vigorous and
healthy. The continued cold weather
has kept the fruit buds back and all
trees. except peaches, are in good con-
dition.
