FIRE-MEN'S SMOKER

The fire men held a business meet
ing followed by a smoker in the
Council Chamber, Monday evening.
There was a good attendance. Fire
Chief ,Iohn Mosipian was electe |
president He at once made the nee
essary appointments. A committee
was named to confer with the coun-
Gil with reference to making some
better provision for pulling the carts
to fires, and also to provide rooms
in the City Hall where two firemen
could sleep and always be on hand
for immediate action in the event of
fire. There are now twenty-five fire
men and it is hoped to increase the
number to fourty. This will make it
possible to operate from two separate
companies. Any wishing to join
should apply to, Chief Mosiman.

BANQUET Was A SUCCESS
TWO HUNDRED ENJOY BUSINESS
MEMS HOSPITALITY
Cordial Welcome to the New Rail
Road People

That the banquet rendered the new
railroad people by the business men
of Falls City last Saturday night was
success, is the unanimous opinion
of those who were present. The on
ly unfortunate feature of the evening
was the lack of room to properly en-
tertain so many. AS it is apt to hap
pen, some of the visitors were left
back for the second table a fact great
ly regretted by all.
The gentlemen began to arrive at
the New National by eight o'clock
There was an air of good fellowship
and of good feeling that could not
help impressing upon the stranger the
fact that the citizens of the own in
which he recently cast his lot were
glad to make him one of their number
At $50 p. m. the large dining room
was thrown open and with the assist
ance of II. C. Marion and G. j. Whit
aker, the guests were seated. The
room was beautifully decorated with
cut flowers, ferns, and potted plants
being used in abundance. The effect
was all that could be desired from the
point of beauty and good taste.
The ladies of the Christian church
had been secured to do the serving.
splendid dinner was served in six
courses. Mayor w. H. Keeling as
toastmaster introduced the first speak
er of the evening, Senator j. H.
Morehead, as the next Governor of
Nebraska, who was very much sur
prised at being called on for the, ad-
dress of welcome, Senator Morehead
quickly regained his composure and
in an easy manner bid the strangers
hearty welcome in behalf of the
people.
Speeches followed by A. J. Weaver,
c. F. Reavis and w. S. Leyda. In
the absence of Supt. Wilson, Dispatch
er r. II. Jones responded in behalf
of the railroad men.
The spirit of good will and enjoy
- ss#rl
ment prevailed throughout the even
ing. Among the railroad men present
were the following;-

ROBBERY AT REESE RIVE

The sheriff and city officials re-
rpCeiyed word early Wednesday morn
ing of a triple robbery at Reserve,
Tuesday night. A store and two hous
es were opI elarized. The offio ers pro
ceeded to the yards to Investigate
and search boxcars, but found moth
ing. The Beatrice blood hounds were
sent for and put on the trail Wednes-
day evening. The sheriff aocompa-
MED the party in the cross country
drive to Reserve. He said on his
return that the dogs took the scent
fine from the residences and from
the store, but each time they stop
ped at a culvert on the railroad track
north of town. Here evidently the
thieves either took a hand car or
climbed onto a passing freight The
dogs could go no further and were
brought to Falls City, and returned
to Beatrice that night. There is no
further cue II the ,obbers.

Evening.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Peter
Resterer was entered by thieves ear
ly Monday evening and was complete

and Mrs. Resterer spent the early
part of the evening at meeting in
the Christian church and with Mrs.
Sowles. A little before ten they re-
turned home and found the side door
unlocked which surprised them and
entering their home found other un-
usual things, but a few steps farther
told the tale. The sideboard draw
ers We're open and looking into
bedroom they saw the contents OF
two trunks thrown helter skelter up
on the bed. All dresses drawers had
been ransacked Everything in sight
by way of jewellery was taken tho
a solid gold watch chain in a dresser
drawer was overlooked and watch
and silver dollar on the side board
was overlooked for five pennies in
a cup. The night watch was notifl-
ed but no traces could be found and

LIVELY CHANGES IN BUSINESS.

Two important changes were made
in the business circles of this city
ON Tuesday and others of Importance
are likely to follow in the near fu-
ture.
l.. +. Wirth sold his hardware store
to Jacob Bloom and Howard Long.
Mr.. Wirth has been in the hardware
business in this city since the spring
of 1892 when, with VIII Winterbot-
tom, bought the Maddox hardware
store. Later Mr.. Winterbottom dis
posed of his interest to his brother
Thomas, who sold to Mr.. Wirth and
for over year he has been sole
proprietor. During his years in bust
ness here he has built up fine and
prosperous business and an enyiable
reputation as business man. His
firm have enjoyed large snare or
the trade in this vicinity and we
can wish the new firm of Bloom
& Long nothing better than that
they may be as prosperous and well
esteemed In business circles as their
predecessor We are glad to well
come these gentlemen, both well
known in hits vicinity, into the ac-
tive business life of our town and
wish them every success.

RESTORE GRAY HAIR
- =. - :
To NATURAL COLOR
By Common Garden Sage, a Simple
Remedy for Dandruff, Falling, Fad
ed, Gray Hair. !.

The old idea of using sage for
darkening the hair is again coming in
vogue. Our grandmothers used to
have dark, glossy hair at the age of
seventy-fve, while our mothers have
white hair before they are fifty. Our
grandmothers used to make sage
tea" and apply it to their hair. The
tea made their hair soft and glossy,
and gradually restored the natural
color. ,... e. u
One objection to using such a prep
aration was the trouble of making
it, especially as it had to be made
every two or three days, on account
of souring quickly. This objection
has been overcome, and by asking
almost any frst-class druggist for
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy the public can get a superior
preparation of sage, with the admix-
ture of sulphur, another valuable
remedy for. hair and scalp troubles.
Daily use of this preparation will not
only quickly restore the color of the
hair, but will also stop the hair from
falling out and make it grow.
- Get bottle. from your druggist to-
day. Use it and see for yourself how
quickly dandruff goes and gray hairs
vanish. G...- g.. + s.c. Il tS: 81.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all drug
gists. 5-z

A Poet Who Dreaded Fire.


Thomas Gray, author Of the "Elegy,'
had weakness in the form Of nerv-
Gus dread Of fire. His cha ber at St.
Peters college, Cambridge, being. on
the second floor, he thought it likely
that in case of a fire his exit by the
stairs might be cut off. He Therefore
caused an iron bar to be fixed bysarms
projecting from the, outside of his win.
dow, designing by a rope attached
thereto to descend in the event of a
fire occurring. This excessive caution
led to practical joke by his fellows.
One midnight a party of students
Numbered at his door with loud cries
of "Fire, fire!'' The nervous poet
few to his window and slid down the
rope to the ground, where he was hail
ed with shouts Of laughter. The Win
dow, with its iron apparatus, is still
shown, it is said. Gray's delicate ma
ture was so shocked by this; rough joke
that he changed his lodgings. - ! = =
