The "Columbian Catholic Con- gress" will be held at Chicago at the time of the exposition, begin ning, as is now planned, on Sep tember 5, and continuing five days. It is expected that fully five thou sand delegates from dioceses in the Unted States alone will be present, and that the number from Euro pean countries will be very large and will include many noted digni taries of the church. It is hoped that Pope Leo XIII himself, will accept an invitation to be present, and to open the congress. It ia be lieved that the gathering will be the greatest and most representa tive in the history of the church. The progress and standing of the Catholic church in America and throughout the world, and the social and economic questions em braced in the pope's recent encyc lical will be presented and dis cussed. The ceremonies attending the dedication of the exposition build ings, October 11, 12 and 13, 1892, are to be very elaborate and impressive. The committee having the matter in hand will devote $300,000 to that purpose. It is expected that the president of the United States and his cabinet, many of the senators and congressmen and governors of the states, numerous representa tives of foreign governments, and 10,0()0 militia and several thousand regulars will be present. A dedi- cation ode and marches, written for the occasion, will be rendered with full choral and orchestral accompa niment. Patriotic and other music, a dedicatory oration, a pageant of symbolical floats representing the "Procession of the Centuries," and magnificent displays of fireworks will be among the chief features of the program. Work on the Missouri Pacific bridge over the Platte has been suspended for the present on ac count of the river having raised so high that the workmen cannot con tinue their work.

Wolcott received on Tues day the tad intelligence of the death of his mother, at Wolcottville, Ind. She was eighty-eight years old and her death was caused by heart failure. Mr. Wolcott left the same afternoon to attend the funeral. Weepin $ Water Repub lican. Freight traffic over the M. P. was never so large as at the. present time. The yards are blocked here every day to such an extent that it seems almost impossible for a train to get through them. The absence of the yard engine is felt keenly by the crews of the regular trains. Weeping Water Eagle. Train Pispatcher McGill is off duty. A combination of circum stances regarding train orders wherein a wreck was luckily avoided was the direct cause. We trust he will be reinstated. lie is an old hand at the business and one ot the best on the line. Weeping Water Republican. We are not prepared to state just when, bnt we hear that in the early spring Pird Critchfield will resign his positon as deputy county clerk and engage in the lumber business at some point, and that Brice Swear ingen, the Missouri Pacific agent at Elmwood, will be appointed deputy clerk. Price is quite popular and will make a good one. Weeping Water Republican. . Night before last entrance was af fected into Wm. Weber's warehouse and three kegs of beer were stolen. Yesterday Officer Fitzpatrick arrest ed a suspicious character and put him in jail, but this morning he was not there. The fellow had made his escape last night while he sheriff and another prison er were carrying in coal, and the sheriff did not miss him till this morning. It looks like the jail was run in a very loose manner. Deputy Sheriff John Tighe started for Elmwood last Friday on the 3:30 Lincoln train. When Wabash was reached Tighe stepped off the train and started up town.. On the way he met Steve Ilulfish. Salutations were exchanged, when Tighe asked him when he moved to Elmwood. "Why, thia is not Elmwood; its Wabash." This was a corker. Words have not been invented suf ficiently strong to describe the feel ings of the sheriff as he shook the Wabash mud from his goloshes and proceeded on foot and alone, with a tie pass in his pocket, for his destination Elmwood, which was reached in due time. Weeping Water Eagle. Change In Firm. The hardware firm of Weidmann & ' Brekenfeld doing a general hard ware business in this city was yes terday dissolved by mutual con sent.

Mr. Brekenfeld will put in a large stock of hardware and continue business at the old stand where he will sell goods as cheap as the cheapest. ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS Johnny Might Have Had If He Had Only Dropped a "Bum" He Had in Charge. Albert A. Borchers,i book-keeper who has been employed in a bank at Hamburg, Iowa, absconded Wednesday evening with $8,000. By the description scut here, a man came in on the K. C. train last evening that corresponded with the description. He got off the train, went up the alley by L. Boedeker'a saloon, then came down Third street and went into the Perkins house, just as Officer Fitzpatrick came up the street with a "bum," taking him to jail. Johnny said he recognized him by the description given, but thought he would take the prisoner over to the jail and come back and get the niau-supposing he would take supper at the Perkins house, but the man only stayed in. the Perkins house about two minute and then skipped. ... , : i . lit ,-, The . fellow stayed in the city all night, and when .the flyer pulled out this morning the switchmen say they saw the man board the train. One thousand dollars was offered for the fellow's arrest. WHO WILL BE GOVERNOR? A Diaputed Point. Around Whioh the NextGreat Struggle Prom ises to Hinge. The following is taken from the Lincoln Joiiaiial: The recent review of the status of the gubernatorial contest, as printed in the Journal of Wednes day morning, attracted consider able attention and has been gen erally approved by members of the legal fraternity as correct. Three or four lawyers were en countered.'however, who expressed the opinion that, while the situa tion was correctly pictured as far as it went, it did not begin suflicently early in the controversy. It will be remembered that in the interview referred to it was shown that Governor Thayer began pro ceedings to oust Governor Boyd on the ground that he was not a citi zen; that Governor Poyd filed an answer alleging that his father was naturalized in 1854, and that he himself became a citizen when Ne braska was admitted as a state; that Governor Thayer filed a de murrer, thereby admitting Poyd's allegation that his father was duly naturalized; when the Nebraska supreme court sustained the de murrer, thereby saying if all Poyd alleged were true it was not a good defense in the action. In this con dition the case went to the United States supreme court; that the lat ter, without deciding that Poyd was a citizen, but instead holding that the records, because . Thayer's admissions solely for the purpose of the demurrer, showed him to be a citizen because of his allegation that his father was duly natural ized, held that the demurrer should not have been sustained. The in terview demonstrated that the court was evenly divided upon the question of Poyd's citizenship through his residence in the state when it was admitted, and it also showed that three of the seven justic es who concurred in the opin ion held simply that the record as sent up showed him to be a citizen and would probably hold other- wishes when the case came back if Boyd were not able to show con clusively that his father was duly naturalized as stated. Wherefore 'it was reasoned that the justice here after to be appointed to succeed Justice Bradley would cast the de ciding vote as to Poyd's citizenship or lack thereof, as it is very prob able that Justice Bradley's suc cessor will have been appointed ere the case can again reach the United States supreme court. Several attorneys have since been encountered who have called at tention to a point that is likely to lead to further contention. They reasoned that, as Governor Poyd was removed from his seat when the Nebraska supreme court sus tained the demurrer, he would probably be reinstated, now that the United States supreme court has declared that the demurrer was wrongfully sustained. While this view of the situation commends itself as logical, still a large proportion of local attorneys consulted yesterday deny that it is at all a certainty that It ia correct. Among them were some of the best attorneys in the city. The inquiry developed the belief among local attorneys that upon this very phase of the situation will occur the next exciting contest, Governor Boyd's friends will contend that he ought to be put back into the chair, just as he was before the demurrer was sustained by the Nebraska supreme court, ere the case goes any further. It is the belief of Governor Thayer's friends that his attorneys will oppose this. It was the general expression among attorneys consulted, how ever, that little could be surmised as to the probable settlement of the question until ihe mandate of the federal supreme court has been re ceived and construed by the supreme court ot Nebraska. It is also more or less generally con ceded that, less Governor Boyd se cures the seat in this manner, he never will be seated by virtue of the election of 1890, as the chances ap pear to be that, unless he can prove that his fattier was naturalized as claimed, which is deemed hardly probable, the federal court will not declare him to have been a citizen. From Siifurrfft' Daily, Mr. W. L. Knotts, formerly local editor of The Herald, has bought the Beatrice Republican and has now assumed control of that paper. Thb Herald recommends Mr. Knotts to the people of Peatrice as an energetic and enterprising young man, well qualified to ex pound republican doctrine to the people of Gage county. Thb Herald has no doubt, whatever, but what' Mr.' Knotts will make a success of anything he undertakes. ( Cass Caaap No, 31 I. O. O.

Mr. Pickson tells us theprosr ects for new buildings here in i ne spring are far better than they ha ve Deen lor two years, and this is su ing a good deal. He says he al ready has several lumber bills to figure on. If you want to swear, and haven't the money to pay for it, just go be fore Judge Clements. He swore a fellow Monday night and accepted a rutabaga as fees. The rutabaga is the largest one on record and may be seen at the Echo ffice. The Crandell eighty-acre farm, as advertised in the Echo, was sold Wednesday; afternoon to C. Letnas ters and Henry McLaughlin tor the neat sum of $3,075, cash. This was an unimproved farm, so fur as build ings are concerned, and shows the real price of land in this part of Nebraska. - The Echo reporter counted the teams in town atone time on Sat nrdnv last find fnimrt iViorA vpri ninety six hitched to the racks. It. is estimated that there were fully. two hundred teams in town that day. And Tuesday was not far behind in that respect; in fact Elmwood is always crowded with traders and teams. The progressive high-five party given by the young ladies of St Ag nes Guild at the residence of Mrs Livingston last evening was a very enjoyable affair. A very pleasant time was had by those present. All persons indebted to the old firm ot Weidmann & Brekenfeld are requested to call and settle immedi ately and avoid trouble. J E.
