pay Electric Service.

City Clerk DeWald is authority for
the statement that after Saturday,
May 2S, the city will operate the
electric light plant day and night
This will be welcome news to the
most of our citizens, and in the opin-
ion of The Tribune it should have
been done long ago. Why Falls
City cannot make a day service pay
its way when towns like Humboldt
with their plant owned by private par
ties can, is a mystery, and we think
surely they can.
It is too bad that the city did not
think seriously enough about the
subject to have come to this conclu-
sion before private parties were al
lowed to make arrangements, with
an idea of furnishing day power.

Baptist Church.

The Bible lectures that have been
given at the Baptist church by Rev.
f. B. Williams, assisted by the sing
er, c. S. Coleburn of Kansas City
for the past week have been unusual
ly interesting and helpful to all who
have availed themselves of the
great opportunity of hearing these
men of God. who dropped down
among us unannaunced, unheralded
by any flaming bills or sounds of
trumpet but like Paul and Barpabas
came unto us with a message that
God put upon them to deliver.
Many good things have been told
from night to night. The lectures
will continue throughout the week.
You are cordially invited to attend
these services.

JOHN ROBINSON COMING.
Will Be in Falls City, Nebraska on
Thursday, June 9.

There is certainly no travelling en-
the world, which presents exhibitions
so varied, so attractive and so multi
tudincus as do the John Robinson
Shows. Since the days of Noah a
more complete menagerie has never
been seen. Traditional, poetical and
enchanting scenes never before equal
arenic display.
Every act in the Monster program
is a revelation to the beholder. The
finest specimens of horse flesh in
the world the highest aerialists in
| the circus profession. the champion
riders, both male and female, the
finest specimens of the cutest ponies
in the world the grandest specialties
ever exhibited; the funniest clowns
on earth are with the John Robinson
| Shows
Almost every circus claims to have
show that cannot be duplicated and
an aggregation of performers the like
of which cannot be brought together
but the fact is that every circus
of any consequence has double
equipment
This show carries two complete
large canvasses. In case one is des
troyed by fire or storm, another must
be ready to put up When a failure
to give a performance entails loss
of from $4,000 to $4,000 for ex
penses, the matter becomes serious
The big show will be in Falls City
Thursday, June 9th.

w. p. Stockton Injured.

Mr.. and Mrs. John Stockton re-
ceived word Saturday that their son,
Walter Price Stockton, had been
badly burned by a live wire while
working for the Utah Electric &C., as
lineman. He may lose the thumb of
his right hand. The flesh was al
most entirely burned off the right
hand and there are bad burns on
his arm. He seems cheerful and
good natured when visited by Falls
City people in Salt Lake City and
unless blood poisoning sets in he
will get along nicely, though it will
be some time before he can work
again.

The ST. Joseph Boosters.

The st. Joseph Boosters arrived in
Falls City early Monday morning.
Some of Tie natives hadn't gotten
all of Sundays dust out of their eyes
yet. The Boosters reception was
bit chilly as consequence. how
ever, after some maneuvering they
were perambulated up town, via any
old "hoss" that could be pressed into
service. rhe Boosters wore feath-
ers in their caps. They almost had
need of them in covering mud alley
down depot way Mayor Keeling's
ideas of correct streets may be all
right, but Falls City automobilists re-
quire more than "the st. Joe Boost
ers coming" to draw them out after
a shower Some day we will have
streets, AMI give receptions, but not
now The street paving egg il
still incubating.
Once upon the right of way the
boys seemed to enjoy themselves.
Those who sampled our picked city
water, pronounced 1t equal to st.
Joe seltzer. The music was good.
All in all it is not apparent that Falls
City suffered by the invasion.

and the score tied with man on
third and none out it looked bad.
lie got two strikes ON the first man
and then walked him. Tie next bat
ter took Sour without a strike and
the bases were as full rs a Dahlman-
ite on election day But the kid
tightened up and forced the next
three to pop up to the infield and the
agony was over.
The score remained a tie until the
last half of the ninth when SarVer
stopped an in-shoot with the re-
verse side of his manly figure and
limped to first, a bunt sacrifice put
him on second and a passed ball let
him go the third. Then Martin-you
know him-eame up. Way out in left
the clover blossoms were dripping in
the mist and rain, and somewhere
among the clover blossoms a base
ball is nesting, for that is where
Martin smashed ii and broke up the
game.

We are in the lead by safe mar
gin. Our team is all that we could
ask for from the standpoint of
ability to play the game. Now if
the boys will keep themselves in con-
dition throughout the season, we have
nothing to fear as to where we will
| be at the close of the season. Boys,
we as a city are with you. Keep clean
and play the game as you have been
| playing it and you will have no com
plaint to make of your treatment and
support from your home town.
NOTES.
Van Tappen on third is all right.
His fielding is fast and clean.
We have the best pitching staff in
the league.
The jumps and the base runner both
took a nap when Martin hit the ball
on second in the last game.
Black doesn't need to feel the
humiliation of being pulled out. The
fans all like him and have confidence
in his ability.
The "Bloomer Girl and Lefty" ar
going to put good many games on
ice before the season is over.
This is Martins last year in minor
company. He is natural ball play
er; has good head andis ambitious.
You can't stop this boy.
We predict that Poteet will be in
class by himself in the league. And
cant he break up a game with that
stick of his?
Thirty of our business men are
taking treatment for hoarseness this
| week.
When a fly goes to center the
| the grand stand marks an out on its
score card Handsome Ransom is
peach of an out-fielder.
Manager Bill thinks the umpire a
very poor listener.
| Sarver is the fastest man on the
bases we have and is good striker
as well.
j. r. Cain, John Lichty, Charles
| Hargrave DR.. Miner, Clyde Campbell,
DR.. Kerr and WILDER Leyda are the
leaders of the rooters in the stand.
The race for the champion rooter
is at present a tie between DIR. Grif-
fith and DR.. Trotter.
