The 65th anniversary of Odd Fel

Lodge of this city in a most hippy
manner in giving a ball and supper at
MsennerchorHall, in which the mem-
,bers, their relatives and some invited
ngiestr participated, and
a goodly
number there were. The evening was
delightfully spent by the young folks
in dancing to the inspiring strains of
Mssnnerchor String Band, the older
ones enjoying themselves by looking
on approvingly, or in social inter
course in groups to themselves and
contributing largely in making the
occasion one of pleasant, unconstrain

quite a lengthy article entitled "Bull
dozing at Grand Island," in which it
is asserted;that Wm. Anyan was pre
Tented by.rjolence from voting at a
recent republican primary meeting in
West Grand Island. The Gazette
proceeds tp-ay that men-have a right
to invest theirvjaoney as they please,
to voteas theyplease without oeing
knocked down and pounded, etc It
seems from various indications that
a strong attempt is to be made to
engraft upon the smaller towns and
rural districts the corrupt methods of
the rotten cities. It will not do.
Once in a while a mac may succeed
in having himself run in, in this way,
buttbe rule of ruin has not yet come,
and we hope the day is forever dis
tant, when the republican party will
place the seal of approval on corrupt
methods at primaries.
There is now a probability that
Columbus school district may again
be called on to vote school bonds,
this time in the sum of $15,000 to
purchase site, erect a suitable build
ing, etc. The school board have
satisfied themselves of the fact that
the present high school building will
have to be abandoned for that pur
pose, and stand roady to submit a
proposition for the amount named on
presentation of a propor petition.
Should a petition be circulated, it is
to be hoped that only those who will
stand by tho measure with their vote
and aid will sign, so that the. district
may not be pnt to the expense of an
election by a false presention of the
wishes of the voters.
Mr. S. C.-Smith met with a pain
ful accident one day last week, which
will confine him to his xoom for some
time. He was returning from the
country, and while driving over the
branch-road crossing near his resi
dence, one of the single-trees broke,
letting the buggy tongue fall to tho
ground, frightening the horses and
causing them to run away. Mr. S.
was thrown from the buggy and had
his leg broken just above the ankle
joint. He bore the surgical operation
which followed with characteristic
nerve, smoking a cigar the while, and
is getting along as well as could be
expected.

Lute North says that one of the

Loupe died the other day with what
appeared to be hydrophobia. A dog
that-was supposed to have been mad
crossed the premises some time since,
but-it was thought at' the time that it
had not bitten any of the cattle. It
would now seem that the conjecture
may : have been wrong, and Lute nat

the more so since auother supposed

Lots are ranging at $ 50 to $150 ac

company, who own some eighty acres
west of the track, are not offering any

they wish the town located all on one

A convent school is to bo located

two acres of land as a Bite. The
house is to be of brick, and a fac

The sensation of the week was the

sault and battery upon a boy living
with him. The lad is one of a num

county from Boston several years ago.
He is about nine or ten years old.
We did not hear any ot the testimony
excepting a very small portion of Dr.
W. M. Powell's, who testified as to
the nature of the injuries received by
the boy. The lad is to go elsewhere,
and the Justice thought that Mr.
