His BEST Licks.v

There was one individual, in par
ticular, in Falls City who was deter
mined that Decoration Day, for 1910,
should be a success in every particu-
lar, and to that end he labored, un-
ceasingly His best licks" were
brought into play, and when the day
was done, barring a hitch or two,
where Jupiter Pluyius prevented a
perfect forming of the program pha-
lanx, it was conceded by all that it
was a charming programs; a day well
spent and a day rounded out with an
earnest desire to honor those to
whom honor was due.
For his untiring efforts to this
end, for his unquenehable enthu.
siasm, the thanks of the community
and of the old veterans as well, are
due to Commander John l.. Cleayer

.DAVIE SMASHES A RECORD
STATE RECORD IN POLE VAULT.
:. ING SMASHED.
He Will Probably Take Part in
the Great National Meet at
Chicago This Month.

David Reavis, Jr., the high school
at the state high school track meet
held in Omaha last Saturday to a
mark that will endure for many
years to come.
Notwithstanding adverse condi-
tion5, consisting of mud and rain he
not only won the event but raised
the record from ten feet three inches
to eleven feet two inches.
The Sunday Omaha Bee run his
picture and had this to say of his
performance.
"A number of records We're smash
ed, principal among which was the
pole vault Davie Reavis, the Falls
City high school boy who has been
tied for the state high school record,
raised the yaulting record from ten
feet three to eleven feet two. He
won the meet by going over ten feet
six inches and then went after the
TeCOIu. ne Nledleu the udl easily d'
eleven feet two inches and doubtless
would have gone higher but for the
sudden rain that came up as he was
making his final trial"
Here is a suggestion that we make
without comment. One hundred and
forty-six high school boys from out
the state participated in this meet
and the Falls City boy was the only
one compelled to pay his own ex-
penses. The school board of other
schools betrayed the expense of
their contestants. There is nation
al meet to be held in Chicago in
June York, Omaha, Lincoln, Kear-
ney and many other schools will have
their boys there. Falls City, which
has the finest athlete in the bunch,
and which has but to enter to put
this little old town at the head of
the list as the holder of a world S
record, will not be a participant
The same condition obtained in the
debates. Our young people worked
untiringly to prepare their arguments
in the hopes of winning honor for
their school and our city, yet, when
the trips were made to the seat OF
the contest the young people were al
ways compelled to pay their own
expenses.
If like condition prevails in any
other school in the state we have
never heard of it,

Away to Enaland.

Mrs. r. Cooper Bailey left Wednes-
day morning via the Burlington for
a visit to her old home IN England.
She went by way of Chicago and the
New York Central, taking ship to
New York Friday DR.. Bailey ac-
companied her to st. Joe. In Chicago
she had her baggage inspected and
bonded through. She will be gone
several months, or as long as the
Dr's. building operations keeps him
sufficiently occupied not to get lone
some and cable her return. She will
visit her old home, which she has not
seen since leaving, when ON her hon
eymoon she came to America. We
certainly wish for her pleasant trip
an happy home coming.

A PROUD AND HAPPY FATHER.
Feels Amply Repaid For His Efforts
in Behalf of Children.

Miss Loretta Sheehan, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. John Sheehan, has
been awarded a free scholarship at
Highland College, Highland, Kansas,
in recognition of the honor of having
made the highest average in the ex-
animation for high school diplomas in
Brown county, Kansas.
The young lady is but twelve years
old, and is the daughter of parents
who realize the Importance of regular
attendance, and the regular attend
ance in this case sometimes entailed
sacrifice on the part of the parents
there were long drives in cold and
rainy weather, and sometimes the
farm work Jagged in order that his
children might be at their post on
time, but, in the language of Mr..
Sheehan, one feels well repaid for
the sacrifices made for children when
they see the same is appreciated and
taken advantage of"
Mr.. Sheehan has recently moved
to farm south of Salem, and his
daughter will attend school at that
place one term before entering High
land College.
The man who has children to feel
proud of has a heritage that is un-
purchasable, and one that helps to
round out years of labor and flavor
them with contentment.

DECORATION DAY SERVICES
SPLENDID PROGRAM RENDERED
AT AUDITORIUM.
Morning Rain Interfcrred With Pa
rade - Mr.. r. Cain, Jr.,
Orator Of the Day.

Although the rain in the morning
interfered with the parade in the
afternoon, there was q goodly crowd
gathered at the auditorium to do hon
or to the memory of the old soldiers.
The program as printed in last
weeks paper was carried out with
but few exceptions. After the open
ing song, America by the eongre-
cation; and invocation by Rev. f.
Ellsworth Day, Supt. II. S. Wood in
well chosen words, welcomed the CON
gregation in behalf of the old sol
diers, paying a beautiful tribute to
the memory of the fallen soldiers
and our beloved Lincoln.
Comrade Whitaker delivered an
original poem, "Who viii Dec
crate Our Graves" Coming as it
did, from an old comrade 1t was
more than appreciated. He realized
that ere long the decoration of the
soldiers graves would be in the hands
of the children and grandchildren, but
did not fear that they would be neg
lected.
The choir sang the old war song,
Tramp, Tramp, Tramp"
"Lincolns Gettysburg Address" was
then delivered by James Falcon.
The next number was THE BivouaC
of The Dead by Miss Helen Whit
ford
After the singing of "The Star
Spangled Banner by the congrega-
ton, Mrs. r. j. Gist read a history OF
the siege of Nashville as described
by little girl, whose home was there
during that time. 1t was very inter
esting. One old soldier remarked
that he was through it all, and it all
came back to memory so viyidly
that he could just see the boys
with him again.
Then came the Grafton of the day
by Hon J. r. Cain. Jr. in which he
paid glowing tributes to the old sol
diers, both living and dead, and tc
the mothers, wives and sweethearts
who remained at home and suffered
during the struggle. The talk was fine
and will long be remembered by
those present.
After the Grafton the choir sang the
Battle Hymn of the Republic, and
another memorial day had been OBJ
| served.
The day is not far distant when
the last old soldier will have passed
from our midst. Let us as citizens
of this great country, kept intact fol
US by the herosm of the old soldiers
never forget the debt of gratitude WI
owe to them, nor give them reason Il
feel that their sacrifices are not ap
preciated

In the opening game with Shenan-

to the tune of to 5. Rain fell
during most of the game andthe mud
dy condition of the ground made er-
rors numerous aud almost unavoid-
able. Sanier was on the rubber for
Falls City and considering conditions
pitched fine. 1t was his first game
with our team and put him at a dis
advantage. Miller took his place in
the fourth inning, but too late to
overcome the lead.

The crowd makes mistake by
cheering every time Martin, Poteet
and other long hitters so to the bat.
1t puts the opposing fielder next TO the
fact that they are liable to hit it out
of the lot. poteet was robbed out
of long hit the other day because
the crowd yelled and the out-fielder
caught the cue and played back. OF
course when the season gets older
the teams will know who can hit
it out, but there is no need for the
crowd to inform them and thus beat
the boys out of a few home runs.

Early Morning Wedding.

Miss Elizabeth Sanford, the only
daughter of Mrs. Della Sanford of
this city, was united in marriage to-
Mr.. Carl c. Schaer of Superior, Neb.,
Wednesday morning, June l, at st.
Francis Catholic church, Rev. Father
Hoffman officiating.
The ceremony was witnessed by a
circle of friends and relatives. The
ring ceremony was observed, Mr..
Neal Thornton and Miss Dora Glines
acting in the capacity of groomsman
and bridesmaid.
The newly welded pair left on
the 7:40 train for Excelsior Springs,
where Mr.. Schaer has business in
terests.
The bride. is we'll known in Falls
City and enjoys the pleasure of a
large circle OF friends. Her partner
in life has been engaged in the hotel
business at Superior for number of
years, and is both popular and pros
peroIs.
The Tribune extends its best
wishes for a long and useful life to
the contracting parties.

1t was the best of its kind ever held
in the parish.
The entire membership was present
and by $50 o'clock the spacious
lawn was we'll filled with men, women
and children. Before the signal to
fall to on great supper, general
conversation ensued. Many weighty
subjects were fully discussed and dis
posed of, among them being the lat
est mode of wearing the hair; the
latest style of shirt waists, and just
how hungry one can become before
they lose all interest in life generally;
the last score by "our team" au-
tomobiles and cyclones-there must
be an affinity between them-and
cyanide in capsules, came in for a
major part of the general talk.
The big and little boys played ball.

surprising skill along this line, and
may have eye to a possible future

THE GRADUATION EXERCISES
A GLASS OF TWENTY-FIVE RE-
CEIVE DIPLOMAS.
The Largest Class Ever Graduated
From Public SchoolS-Cov.
Shallenberger Talks.

The commencement exercises for
the class of 1910 of our high school
was held at the city auditorium last
Thursday evening.
The class was the largest that has
ever graduated from our public
schools, twenty-five i'll all, and one
may look many schools over and many
times before they could find better
looking, brighter, more intelligent
class of young people.
The stage was made very attractive
by the use of potted plants cut
flowers and a liberal amount of
draperies in class colors, purple and
white
The exercises were very late in
opening, owing to the hour the hack
conveying the graduates arrived
and for this reason some changes
were made in the order of the pro
gram.
After the invocation by Rev Bail
| GNy W liO WIS dilnOuHCtu ny Oupt- IL
S. Wood, the Glee Club sang, Hap
py Days Gone BY, and were heartily
applauded.
Governor Shallenberger was asked
to speak preceding the Glass Prophesy
as he was to take the ten O'Clock
train for Lincoln. His address pleas
ed all who heard him, though it was
very evident to all that it was not
given in full because of the lack of
time. 1t was full of patriotism and
left with the graduates, whom he had
first in mind, lesson of high ideals
of citizenship, mental achievements
for The good of their nation first
which meant lasting name for them
selves, rather than material wealth
for the individual, the one thing
the governor seems to think in which
our nation has become truly great
| His tribute to our flag and Nebraska,
] and her material and educational re-
sources was fine bit of oratory,
and a splendid item in a scholarly
address.
Miss Maybelle Poteet and David
Reavis of the senior class gave excep-
tionally fine musical numbers and
were given cordial greetings by the
audience. The Glass Prophecy by
Miss Loretta Beaver and Miss Hell
en- Schock was very original and
quite to the point in witty references
and was well received by the class
and the audience.
After the presentation of the
diplomas by John Lichty, the presi-
dent of the school board, the Glee
Club sang Drink to Me Only With
Thine Eyes,, which closed the exer-
cises, after which the class held a
short and informal reception upon
the stage to receive the congratula-
tions of their friends.

O'Clock, three-course dinner was
served. A unique idea and one
which reflects much credit to the
judgment of the hostess in caring
for her guests, was in providing bibs
instead of napkins for them. After

games until eleven o'clock when
