The Lincoln Boosters.

The Lincoln Commercial Club spec
ial arrived in Falls City from Table
Rock over the Burlington, Monday
evening The train reached here too
late to give the club a fair chance for
seeing the town and meeting with the
business people, as they left again
early Tuesday morning Their advent
and departure was scarcely noticed.
The club stopped long enough at
Dawson and Salem to go up street
and serenade the town.
From items which have since ap-
peared in the Lincoln papers, the
club was favorably impressed with
what they saw and heard while in
Falls City. Falls City's location is
far enough from Lincoln to be of
some real interest to that place
from a commercial and educational
poins of view. That the Boosters ap-
preclated this fact there is no doubt

A Base Ball Kick.

Editor Tribune-The base ball sea
son ia one-third gone and the home
team is earnestly seeking the bot
tom rung of the ladder. At the
time of writing. we have lost nine
out of the last ten games. Every
body says. strengthen the team, but
the days and weeks go by and nothing
is done Why wait until we are
hopclessly beaten before making the
team stronger? If we are to have
new and better material, why not
get il now when we still have a
fightng chance.
The truth of the matter is. we
have a weak ball team. The team
of last year, when the home boys
played for the love of the game,
was stronger than the present organ
ization
We ought to have three new out
fielders. Men who can start when
he lall is hit and cover more than
twenty feet of space, and make a
hit at least once a week Our out
field is a joke as now constituted
both in the field and at the bat. We
are weak at first, in fact Poteet is
the only man on the team that is
showing any especial class Our
pitching staff is fair and has been
doing its full share towards winning
games But the rest of it, in base
ball language, is rotten
Game after game has been lost by
weak hitting and unspeakable field
ing. There are many good men in
the Kansas City city league that
could be signed We say we will
strengthen, but nothing is done. The
time to do this is while we have a
fighting chance at the flag and that
time is nov. 4 Disguised Fan

Brass Band Enthusiasm.

For two months The Tribune has
been trying TO arouse "a brass band Ell
tmsasm Why cant we have one
Everybody wants one The city
needs one. Whenever there is a bano
in town people turn out en- mass to
hear il There is enough talent in
Falls City to have an excellent hand
If someone would but call a meeting
for the purpose of organizing. we
could no doubt start out with IA
bunen of players which would need
but d little practice, to be credit to
Falls City.
That Falls City appreciates good
music, and that We have an abun-
dance of talent, we all know.
Let some one who is acquainted
with the players and the situation,
take the first step and we will have
a bald.
The following was brought in by a
friend just after the Lincoln CONNER
eial club had been in town, and
shows the real situation
why not, was ringing jn my ears
when the Lincoln Commercial Club
visited our town and the gentle
strains of music foated over our
peaceful city; yes, why should not
Falls city have brass band of her
own. 70 me it seems very strange
that thrifty city like ours should
be without a we'll organized brass
band of not less than fifteen or TWEEN
ty mon.
"Where is the Moses that will lead
us out of this musical wilderness.
THAT our people are music loving
was evidenced by the large attend
ance at the organ recital at the Pres
byterian church. That we have the
talent, one can assure himself by
visiting the various choirs of our
churches. There are few cities in
the state with better material than
ours Then why not. 1t seems to me
that there are no oppositions; our
business men and our churches, yea
every sensible citizen would welcome
and contribute their part to the bring

WORD FROM GERMANY.
Mrs. Emma Boose Tucker Writes To
Her Father In This City

Mr.. and Mrs. Tucker and
daughter of Wm Boose of this city
have started home from a residence
of eight years in China They are
coming overland as much as possible
and, as The Tribune is read by d
number of their friends, we feel
that the following card received by
the father, would be of interest.
Between Berlin and Cologne, June
10, 1910. Dear Father-lf ever there
was a spot on earth that satisfied
ones soul, it is the Fatherland
Such thrift, such cleanliness, such
perfect mastery of the art of farm
ing and all applied sciences, such
comfortable homes, such gardening,
such a beautiful country. Even
though largely level from the eastern
border to here, largely through the
perfect pastoral landscape thrifty
people have made and all other SUI
perlatiyes you may wish to use-all
these belong to Germany In a lit

Rhine and Cologne Cathedral. Two
nice days in Berlin and one in Dres-

Must Be Decent.

\ number of young girls of Falls
City have been eXtrayagantly free in
their social relations Several We're
taken into custody by the police
court and sent home to their mothers
where they belong The moon-eyed
guy from Rulo who was arrested
among the weeds south of town with
one of them the other night. was
fined as he deserved to be. Worse
things are likely to happen to the
girls if they are not more maidenly
and discreet in their behavior. We
wish to warn all parties who may be
concerned in similar improprieties in
the future that names and facts
will be published. Our facilities for
getting hold of the facts are inn
proving as our familiarity with local
conditions increases. There is only
one way to keep out of the limelight
of publicity with its humiliation and
shame, and that is by being decent.

OUR PEERLESS ONES TOYING
WITH BR'ER BoNEHEAD.
A Record of Eight Straight Games
Lost Outclassed by CIarinda
Foxes To Strengthen.

The last series of games at this
place were nightmare. We wish
they could be forgotten. We lost
all of them and slid down until. if
the list were turned upside down, we
would be nearer the top than We are
now 1t wasn't all poor play
ing but just not playing together at
critical times, and rs some of our
best players We're on the hospital list,
Clarinda just took them all.
The games however. We're more in
teresting than the score would indi-
cate Clarinda has some excellent
players. One of our fans said after
visiting with them awhile that they
would no doubt finish at the top if
they stayed as clean at other towns
and "a home as they did While here
The time is past when profession
al athletes can afford to dissipate
ON boys went to Auburn Monday
and we hope to see them continue the
winning steak until they are again at
the top.
1t is easy to find fault Easy to
sit up in the grandstand and say how
this or that play should have been
made, but we can do more good by
getting down and taking the boys by
the hand and telling them to go in
and win next time.
We have a good team and this
slump doesn't mean anything in par
ticular, at least not that it is nee
essaTy to change the makeup of the
team to any great extent. Where
will YOU find another battery as good
as ours? And with little coaching,
the individual stars in the infield
can be developed into a team. So as
the season is still young We may yet
climb back to where we were in the
beginning.
Boy S, we want you to chase your
hoodOo, forget all unjust criticisms.
Get into every game with the idea
you are going to win, and not say
quit until the last man is out in the
last inning.
Brace up. We are with you.
We lost the game Tuesday, to 1,
but it was a case of luck for Au-
burn With the new men who have
been secured, we are in the race for
first place once more With McCabe
back in harness, and the others all
out OF the hospital. We are in shape
again This is ideal base ball wealth
er. If the boosting of loyal fans will
do any good ard it will, our boys will
soon be in first place again.
Falls City won from Auburn We'd
nesday, to 1. Now three straight
on the home grounds, beginning Thurs
day ard we will breathe again.

ROUNDING Up Horse Thieves
MUCH CREDIT DUE SHERIFF
FENToN AND CHIEF MARTS.
Jim Smith, a Suspect, Rounded
Up at Mound City Tuesday
Officers Good Work.

Jim Smith, who is suspected of
knowing more about the stealing of
the Jones team than is good for him,
was arrested at Mound City last
Tuesday by Sheriff Fenton and Chief
Mar5s. and brouht back here and will
be arraigncd in the county court on
Thursday. This, as we believe,
breaks up a gang of horse thieves
which has been working this county
for years. Smith has family living
in Highland, Kas. Walters and Me
Maban, the other member of the trio
who arc with us on the same charge,
will have their preliminary next Mon
day The evidence will surely be
sufficient to convince the judge that
these men should become wards of
the slate.
Too much credit cannot be given
cur sheriff and chief of police for
their untiring efforts in breaking up
the gang, which has worked i'll
Richardson county successfully for
so lorg. To know that such things are
going on is one thing but to catch
a fellow and prove him guilty is an
other and much harder.
Our officers we believe have done
this and we should be, and are, very
proud of them for what they have
done for the city and county
