town in New Mexico. The main res
ervoir will be located several hum
dred feet higher than the city and
the water will have an Immense
amount of pressure. The business
men Of the city are elated over the
fact that their insurance rates viii be
cut to 4 much lower figure than
what they have been paying. one
business man estimates that the cav
ing to him on insurance will amount
to about one hundred dollars year.
The digging of the trench will en-
ploy q large number of men, there
being sixteen thousand feet OF it TO
be dug by hand and the paying oui
of the $45, 600 in Cimarron will help
some. 1t IS said that about two hum
dred men win be employed at once on

part of the new state and the predic-
tions of the men who have their all

A NOTEWORTHY INDUSTRY.
The Public is Invited to Visit The
Poultry Plant.

A visit to the National Poultry q
Egg Cos. plant, at the south end Of
Stone Street would probably surprise
a great many people who have not
given much thought to this enter
PRISE which has been located in our
city less than year.
To begin with, the plant as it now
stands is by far larger than it was at
first expected to be. Within the
last month the contract was let for a
$1,000 cold storage and in he spring
a milk feeding station will be added.
MIR. Mari informs us that Falls City
is considered a very advantageous
business point ard the company will
continue its improving and enlarging
their plant here.
The plant is not running up to full
capacity at present, only sixteen or
twenty people being employed The
output is ABOUT 10000 pounds per
week, dressed fowls 1t is very in
teresting to go from the killing to the
packing room which is kept at 80
degrees. Here the fowls are packed
according to their classes, extra,
choice and fair, one dozen fowls to
a box The fowls are kept in a cool
ing room a few hours before being
taken to the cold storage and boxing
department.
Eggs are shipped by car loads and
the manager informs us the supply
has been abundant this fall.
Mr.. Mari invites the public to in
spect the plant and takes pride in
showing visitors about, that they may
have better idea of this line of
business. 1t is worth the walk to go
through the plant.

Injured by Dynamite Explosion.

A very serious accident occurred
near Barada last Sunday morning at
about seven o'clock which came near
costing Jud Brown, aged sixty-three
his life and in which Arthur Nixon
was also hurt The men were pre-
pairing a dynamite charge on the
banks of the Missouri river when it
exploded prematurely. Mr.. Browns
right hand was blown off, deep hole
torn in his left thigh and thethigh
bone broken, deep gashes torn in the
lower limb besides being badly burn
ed and a cash torn on the face.
Mr.. Nixon's face was burned and a
bad cash torn in his limb. Just how
the accident occurred nobody seems
able to tell. it came so quickly and
Unexpectedly. Mr.. Nixon was about
five feet from Brown who was pre-
pairing hte charge and Herman Kelly,
still farther away escaped uninjured.
Brown was taken home and Dr.
Andrews of Barada was called at once
1t was seen that a mop Grafton was
necessary and DR.. Burchard OF this
ety was called. The arm was ampu
tated just below the elbow, the thigh
bone set and the other injuries giyer
proper attention. DR. Andrews in

TALK ON CHINA
Or. Emma Boose Tucker Addressed
A Large Crowd Sunday Night.

Dr. Emma Boose Tucker was greet
ed by a very large assembly of old
friends and interested admirers of
her work when she gave hey Talk on
China at the Presbyterian church last
Sunday evening Naturally, Falls
City people are very partial 10, and
proud of Mrs. Tucker as she is in
every sense a Falls City product,
having been educated in our public
schools, grew TO womanhood here
and after finishing the State Uni
yersity was married here before pre-
ceeding to Chicago to finish her
study for Medical Missionary, which
DR.. Tucker, also was taking.
Aud well might we be proud Of
Mrs. Tucker We have had many
lectures on China by missionaries and
other travellers but never has the
subject been handled more clearly or
thoroughly. Mrs. Tucker undoubtedly
is Interested Naturally close obser-
yer OF character and customs, her life
and work among these people have
accentuated these characteristics and
made her adundantly able to speak
clearly and comprehensiyely of this
interesting country and people. We
will not attempt to give even
sketches of Mrs. fuckers talk for
it pould prove a failure. Those who
missed hearing her missed a great
and those who heard her hope for
another opportunity of hearing her.
1t is the general wish of all that Mrs.
Tucker give another lecture before
leaving Falls City. She certainly CAV
the assembly at the Presbyterian
cnufcn last sunday night an address
long to be remembered, full of inter
estine and beneficial information of
missionary work being done, of the
life and customs as we'll as the poll
tical situation of the Chinese people
The little intimate sketches of dom
estic and business life were clearly
illustrated and give one "a better
idea of the fast rising above the cir
cumstances and customs that have
bound them for centuries.
DR.. and Mrs. Tucker will take post
graduate course in medicine in Chi
cago before returning to China next
year
There will be an exhibition of
Chinese curios, collected by DR.. and
Mrs Tucker at the Presbyterian
church next Friday and Saturday
evening which is well worth seeing.

Mr.. Marion promptly bought for 35c
per bushel Mr.. Mcclure then vol
entered to give them &c per bushel
for all they picked for him. They
got busy and picked forty bushel
and not only had full day of fun
an da fine outing but made about $16
for the new church.
