wish to most heartily thank the many
friends of the school for gifts Of mon
ely and other things, which have made
it possible to continue this good work
from year to year, and especially, on
this occasion, to give every scholar

ciated,
Since the property has recently
changed hands. it will be OF interest
to the public generally to know some
thing about our plans and purposes
for the future. When the brethren
of the Presbyterian church first in
vested in this property, they gave a
practical demonstration of their faith
in the future of the South Side.
Since the beginning the Misses Flor
ence and Nellie Cleaver have had the
work in charge. Others have helped
carry it along. The present success
of the work demonstrates the fore
sight and wisdom of those who found
cd it, and is a grand testimony to
the efficiency and untiring zeal Of
those who have mothered it the past
years.
During 1910. 16o scholars have
been enrolled, besides a cradle roll of
fifteen and a home department.

Blessed is the man who has the gif

think not. While Falls City is wag-
ing a vigorous campaign and invest
ing thousands of dollars to provide
physical accommodations and home
comforts for its people, Falls City
should not forget to provide for the
culture of the souls of those at
least who desire it, and especially
fer teaching the growing boys and
girls of the New South Side the deep
er truths of life.
The richest asset Falls City pos
sesses is its boys and girls. The flu

will be largely what we make them,
How important then that they early
receive careful training in reverence,

and privileges of others. 1t is the
business of the Sunday School to
teach these fundamental virtues in
human character. No other institu-

The South Side Sunday School
BY w. n. Wyler.

During the past half dozen Sun
days In which | have been actively
identified with the school, the at
tendance has averaged seventy-five.
Se%yenty-five of the scholars have
signed the Temperance pledge and
forty are pledged to give some time
to Bible study daily.
Such record compares xfayorably
with any of the uptown schools. And
yet II has all been accomplished by a
few ~eonsecrated ladies' working among
the entirely unchurched, and in a tiny
little room 16x20 feet. E~ighty-five
boys and girls crowded in so small a
room and being taught by different
teachers. Think of It, here in Falls
city. Is it necessary? Is 1t right?

results with such meager helps,

equipments enjoyed by the uptown

Court Day

A large crowd was in town yester-
day in attendance upon April court,
but owing to the seasonable weather,
farmers who were behind with their
work were kept away. with the result
that the crowd which usually attends
the A pril court was greatly reduced.
There were few cattle on the
market and while trading was slow
the entire amount was disposed Of.
M. j. Murphy &, Co. report so heifers
of very poor quality at their pens
which were sold at prices ranging
from S17.50 to $50 per head.
About fifty mules on the market,
but the demand was light and many
were left unsold.. Thos. McCiintock,
of Millersbur, sold three to Lexingto
parties for 500. Clark McClintock
sold ten at prices ranging from Sos
to $3.50. A few horses on the market
but little trading.

AN EMPEROR ON WHEELS

From the New 1Ork A Ollu
 Many people will be relieved to find that German Emperor William is not going to live in the s1,50o,0o0 palace just completed for him at Posen. His second son, Eitel Fritz, will make--i it his home just by way of pleasant reminder to the con quered Poles that their name. race, lam guage and national aspirations are marked for extinction by the Hohenzol- ferns.
 The Emperor has 57 palaces. or as some say 51. The reckoning is confused be- cause he has recently sold two little half million-dollar ones. If he neglects too long to reside in any one of his homes a prolonged howl goes up from the local tradesmen, who do their best business when the family Is in town and soldiers, courtiers and plain people just rub bering" at royalty must be fed and pro- vided with post cards. Then the Elm peror must sail his yachts and there are the army maneuvers to do and the navy to discipline and his great and good relatives at other courts to visit.
 It must be relief to so badly over worked an Emperor on wheels that al least there is no overwhelming popular demand in Poland that he shall go there often.

Rent on Fight

Theodore Roosevelt, ex-President and prospective candidate for 1912, was never more bent on fight than now. While there has been no open rupture between President Taft and MT. Roosevelt a po- litical breach exists and it will not be closed up.
 The President is seeking reelection. but he stands in fear of his former chief and his former chief sees it and proceeds to assault the republican "old guard" in New York This will result in de- moralization in the republican rank and file. It should cause the republicans to lose the Empire state to the democrats. Roosevelt may be a good politician, and that is what his friends say he is, but in view of the disturbed situation in New York now it looks like a case of Samson pulling down the pillars of the temple, destroNlhS hltnsell aions Witl HIS enemies All of which is highly eneour- aging to the democrats.
 With Mayor Gaynor or some other high class democrat as the nominee for gov ernor the democrats would be almost sure of carrying New York in November. And if New York and Ohio both go dem ocratic this year not even Roosevelt, with all his popularity, would stand much chance in 1912.
 In the meantime it will be fun to watch the fight and see republicans pummeling each other.

Beethoven Concert In 1872

Some one has dug up out of the archives concert given at the Spa August 6, 1872, in which the only performers were Beethoven and Polledro, who played their own compositions. The entertainment was for a mine disaster relief fund, and adding interest to the occasion was the presence of Goethe, poet and philosopher, who sat in the audience as a rapt, listener. On the programme were two piano solos and two violin solos and sev- eral numbers in which both the famous musicians took part. The amount realized was. about $2Oo.
 The newspaper correspondent who tells us about this Beethoven Polledro per formance expresses amazement that the box office receipts were not larger in view of the fact that Beethoven was on the bill and that he was playing for char ity, But 9S years ago S2Oo in Bohemia was equal to about 5000 today Besides, Carlsbad was a small place then and the visitors to the Spa were few
 That concert in 1872 must have been great indeed. Paledro-Gioranni Pap tista Pelledro of Turin-was not in Beethoven's class as a composer, of course, although his violin pieces and his mass and miscerere were in vogue in his day, but according to tradition he was an excellent violinist and as a concert attraction was perhaps on a parity with Beethoven. the immortal
 Classic music such as Beethoven and Paledro rendered was almost as much appreciated in Europe century ago as it is now, and instead of undertaking the culture and musical taste in the Spa. in Beethoven's time one may reasonably as- sume that everybody who was anybody eagerly paid the price and took in the con.

NO MORE MONTE CARLOS
From the Boston Globe.

 Belgium is showing itself in earnest in the work of supressing the long fash ionable and prosperous public gambling halls in the little kingdom when its po- lice descend upon the Kursaal al Ostend in the thick of the play and raid 1t like a vulgar dive.
 Time was when Paris licensed gambling and until Mismarck came to power in united Germany the princes there were in open partnership with gamblers. Now pality is the one refuge of the players in all Europe. It can be only a question of short time when some particularly outrageous climax to this continuous scandal will stir France to suppress the Monte Carlo casino it's suicides park and its sordd princeling with one sweep of moral indignation.
 While we never have legalized the green cloth in this country, there was period when gambling was condoned ful watering place, such as Saratoga and Long Branch. One house of the recent Cuban congress amused itself with the favorable consideration of a project tc set up new world Monte Carlo in that island If the little republic should ever venture upon this anachronistic folly we might find ourselves involved in the com plications which always thre aten France from Monte Carlo.
