NAY, NAY, STELLA PREssi
You Must Be MIsrepresenting The
Base Ball Situation.

The main attraction for our peo-
pie the first of the week was the
Falls City-Auhurn bah games at the
latter town, Stella being well rep
resented each of the three days.
Falls City won two of the three
games, but of the last eleven
games played by that town, these
are the only two won With the
exception of J.R Cain and g. Wheel
er, Falls City has few supporters
in Stella, most of the people be-
lieving that 1t would do Falls City
good to be tail-enders for awhile
The above clipping, taken from tho
Stella Press, does not represent the
majority opinion of Stella as regards
the Falls City Mink League team,
as will be seen by the following COM
munication received by one of our
townsmen from q prominent Stella
gentleman
II. M. Jenne, Falls City, Neb. Dear
Sir:--I enclose you herewith clip
ping from the Stella Press which is
intended to express the sentiment OF
Stella base ball enthusiasts as re-
CARDS the Falls City ball team of the
Mink League. L don't know why
thing of this kind should have been
published, because the majority OF
people in and around Stella, | think,
would be glad to see Falls City win
the pennant, or at least be in the
first division at the end of the sea-
SON. Home pride for Richardson
county, IL nothing else, should cause
Stella and other towns in the county
to rally round the flag of the county
seat town. Falls City has always
been good to our city, especially
when we have our annual picnic, and
think that II given fair test, Stel-
la would be found in the Falls City
column. Wishing the team success,
am, very truly, A STELLA FAN.

A BAD MESS OF HUMANITY
WHITES AND BLACKS FREELY
BROWSE TOGETHER.
A VeritabIe House of All Nations"
that is Menace to Decency
and Clean Citizenship

The large house on the west side
ulation is becoming notorious. This
week the city authorities had occasion
to withdraw young girl from the
place The house Is tenanted by a
mixed population of whites aEd blacks,
and for pure cussedness makes a
good second to the "House of all
Nations" in South Omaha, one of
the plague spots of North America.
Th,' place is owned by prominent
business man, and is at least toler-
ated If not encouraged by the citi-
zens of Falls City. 1t is needless to
go into details The officers cannot
do everything. Law Is worse than
useless, unless backed by healthy,
public sentiment When the people
demand the closing of these dens
of assignaIion they will be closed.
The ranks of the dissipated thin
rapidly; vice Is the great destroyer.
They are constantly being recruited
from just such places like the above.
These are the mission posts of
crime and debauchery. They at
tract unsophisticated boys and girls
like sugar lures the flies into the
trap. No child is safe so long as
these open snares stand waiting to
tempt and trap them. Vice is a

too high. Let parents arise and in

Applies in Falls City.

The mother who allows sixteen
year-old (more or less) daughter to
float around the township in top
buggy until two o'clock in the morn
ing with a counterfeit sport of weak
jaw and weaker morals, merely opens
the front door to grief and disgrace.
If yon don't know what kind of COM
pany your girl keeps or at what
time of night she turns in, your
roar when the gossips get busy
will sound about as pathetic as the
wheeze from jewsharp. The girl
who insists on "spooning" with every
body in the corporate lip' ) ought to
be backed into the wood shed and
be relieved of her overflow of affec-
ton with number IL slipper laid
carelessly across her hiplets. We
would sooner see a girl kiss a blind
shoat through barbed wire fence
than to see her change partners six
times a week in the parlor with the
lights turned low. 1t is harder to
palm off girl who has been paved
over by every 'yap" in the county
than it is to fatten sheep on pine
apple ice. You can't goldbrick a
sharp-eyed suitor with secondhand
goods any more than you can fit a
bath robe on a goat. There are lots
of parents who are going up against
the Judgment day with about as much
show as cross-eyed girl at beauty
show; and their children shall rise up
and call them blessed, with the enthu-
siasm of one-legged man at a club
dance.-Exchange

FREAK POTATOES
Auburn Gardeners Have Tree
Climbing Variety.

In the window of the Herald office
the past week have been on display
some freak potatoes, from the garden
of b. ]. Henderson of this city.
Uncl, Jim Buckley also has some
of the same variety in his adjoining
garden. ~
Notwithstanding the fact that sew
eral very large and well formed pota-
toes were found in the hill where
potatoes are supposed to grow, all the
way up the stalk, or vine, whichever
one chooses to call it, little potatoes
have started to grow. They branch
out at the intersections of the leaves
and main stalk, and instead of having
eyes. as the others do, little leaves
started from the potatoes themselves
There are several more of these
freak plants growing in the garden,
and both gentlemen intend to let them
attain their full maturity and save
the seed for future experiments,
which will be watched with interest.

POLICE COURT
Police Judge spragins Has Been
Busy The Past Week.

Bill Nation, one of the county board
ers, after confidential chat with our
deputy sheriff, concluded to help the
Street Commissioner rather than stay
indoors this fine weather. He might
undertake the job of fishing the paw
ing ordinance. Bill Is ambitious.
Joe Wilson has taken French leave
of Falls City for time. He needs a
vacation ard we hope he will be in no
hurry about returning Some men
can drink and trim off like gentlemen
with nothing worse than case of
delerium tremens. Others, more en-
ergetic, may wind up by driving the
family out of doors and breaking up
the furniture. OF course these are trif-
ling matters But when Joe gets a
jag or he gets an AK and practices on
his friends heads Naturally they do
not take very kindly to Joe's stunts
and put him in ward to keep peace.

BASE BALL NOTES.
Our Boys Will Play Double Header
Here The Fourth.

Or ball team seems to be on It's
feet again and going we'll. We are
crippled little but not seriously.
What does it matter if We are in the
third notch, when we have recovered
from our case of stage fright, and
have settled down to business.
The lineup of the team has been
changed somewhat, and all that is
necessary to make US happy is to
have McCabe's arm enable him to
get back into harness and for Po-
teet's arm to stay sound. All the
others are going good.
We are glad that our boys, when
away from home, are not getting
the notoriety which the Shenandoah
team enjoys. The day is past when
a professional ball player can be
less than a gentleman, and stay in
the game.
The game at Auburn Tuesday was
wonderful, going as it did for nine
teen innings. The fans surely got
their moneys worth. The score was
Nebraska City 4, and Auburn 2.
Our team will be with us again
July 4, 3, and 6. On the Fourth we
play double header.
Shenandoah seems to be develop
ing the habit of finding fault with the
umpire.
Myers says it is a swift bunch, in
the use of talk. Fletcher has had
his share of abuse too, lately.
Base ball fans will stand for such
work awhile, but when team per-
sists in such tactics it will waken
up to the fact that the grandstand is
empty.
We are sorry to lose Sloane. No
one can say that he ever misbehaved
in game.
Smith, our catcher, is at his home
in Sioux City nursing sprained
ankle. The result of slide to home
base Friday of last week.

Mr. Stanley Krajicek, chief hydrau-

yoir Irrigation company, was married
Wednesday. June 13, to Miss Gertrude
Mohler of Line oln, Neb. The wedding
took place in Topeka, Kan. at the
home of the brides sister. They
were schoolmates at the University
of Nebraska. Later the young groom
came west to seek a career, ,and last
year, while visiting in Denver, Miss
Mohler and Mr.. Krajicek met by
chance, renewed their acquaintance,
and finally became more than Just

congratulating the young couple, but
in particular the groom, who was SO
popular in the younger set.-Denver

Nebraska Direct Legislation League

The Nebraska Direct Legislation
League has issued, through its pres
ident, the following statement of its
campaign plans for the immediate fu-
ture:
"The Direct Legislation League will
work from now on to two ends. 1t
will try to secure favorable pledges
in all the party platforms, and also
from all the legislative candidates.
The public interest is shown to be
such that we cannot see how any
party convention can justly refuse a
chance to vote on the question, no
matter what the individual views of
party leaders may be on the merits
of the question But the work will
not stop with the party platforms. For
the information of voters at the prim-
aries the league will question candi-
dates for the legislature With the
voters informed in advance of the
position of candidates on this ques-
tion there should be no difficulty, in
most districts, to secure the nomina-
referendum men."-John II. Mockett,

An Exclamation.

After the excitement over the fed
eral building deal for Falls City has
passed, it appears that only the bin
appropriating $4,000 for a site was
actually passed, while the bill provid-
ing for both site and building failed
of passage. Fails City has at least
the grounds for postoffice building
in sight, and the necessary upper
works will follow in the course of
the ages

Preliminary Hearing.

The preliminary examination into
the matter of the stolen team bust
ness was held in the district court
room Tuesday afternoon.
Reavis and CAN'T were the prose
cutors, and Falcon was the attorney
for the defendants 1t is unfair to
express an opinion at this time, but
from the size of the audience one
would infer that there was much in
terest in the outcome of the trial.
Smith was bound over to the dis
trict court His bond was fixed at
s2,500. Walters and McMahan will
have their hearing on July 5.
