Flying embere from the skating rink fire Thursday morning last ignited in four different places on Eleventh street and were controlled only by vigilant work of property owners. The Cedar Rapids Bugle says that "the railroad to O'Connor will not come from Cedar Rapids, and if the road is extended from here (which it will not be, this year at least) it will not take that direction." The skating rink at Seward, this state, was totally destroyed by Ire at 12 o'clock on the sight ef the 3d last. Other property in the vicinity was saved only by the hard work of fire men. The general belief is that it sras of incendiary origin. Remember the fair and festival of the German Reformed church at Maennercbor Hall Saturday evening.

Mahood, was thrown from the hog wagon and fortunately only badly stunned. He is all right and well again. Charles Reinke's lot of cattle, Bold last week, run as follows: 72 head average 1374, at 5c a lb ; 20 head av erage 1200, at 4c ; three bead 1000, and 1, 1625 at 3c, the whole amounting to the neat sum of 16,037.10 Pretty good for the yearly harvest of a Ne braska homesteader. Our Platte county readers should remember that C. A. Beardsley is en gaged here in the marble business, and his is the only firm here that does their work In the town. Mr. Beards ley is turning out excellent work, at satisfactory prices, and those who wish monuments or tombstones will do well to give him a call. One door south of Oehlrlch Bros, grocery. Some of the runners for whole sale houses will probably' learn that it is not good to sell to dealers outside of their line. This happened here with one of our merchants who gave quite an order, which was counter manded when he heard tblt the 'drummer had gone off, and done what he said he did not do at all, and sold to dealers in other lines of goods.

Plant trees and plenty of tbem, and of every kind, for shade, for lumber, for wind-breaks, for orna ment, for fruit. It is said of an En glish nobleman that he always carried some acornB in his pockets, and when he found a convenient place on his grounds, planted one. Let every Ne braska nobleman, who is redeeming the landscapo of the plains from the monotony of its natural condition, plant for trees and plenty of them. We publish elsewhere a reply to Byron Millett from John Walker, concerning the expenee of the town ship law in St. Bernard township. John flourishes what appear to be formidable figures, but we apprehend that some of them at least are not at all chargeable to the law for township organization. We understand that Mr. Walker's position is in favor of township government, as a system, but ntterly opposed to Nebraska's law upon that subject. The Columbus Milling Co. was organized yesterday morning, the stockholders being G. A. Schroeder, J. H. Hogan, J. E. Wilson and ChaB. Schroeder, mill to cost $25,000, and have a capacity of 125 barrels in twenty-four hours, work to begin on the same immediately, the mill site to be on K. street, south side of U. P. track, on four lots formerly owned by Cbas. Schroeder. We are authorized to say that the mill will be put up to do the best work in every respect, being furnished with the very latest Hungarian roller system, and will be ready to work about three' monthB from date. " A meeting of citizens was held Monday evening at the City Hall for consultation in regard to the con struction of a steam flour grist mill in this city. The meeting was presided over by L. Gerrard, J. G. Higgins acting as secretary. Several short speeches were made, there being no two opinions as to the desirability of a mill for this locality. When Messrs. Jaeggi k Schopbach declared that they had concluded to erect a mill and would do so without asking any bonus, the object of the meeting seemed to be accomplished..

" " ' " Such is the present appearance of the large new Skating Rink erected last summer on 13th street, and the old landmark south of it known as the Hoffman warehouse, owned in late years by G. W. Hoist. The fire was first, noticed by Ter. rence Brady, living in theapper story of the Elmers building adjoining tho HardelK property on .the west, and when first seen, there was a space of about four feet square burned in the wall of the building on the'west side near ibe northwest corner.! Imme diately the town was awakened by the yells of startled citiaens' and by the. cjanging of the "fire bells. In a few. moments the fire ,. department was vigorously at work and so con-, tinned uatU-dadgsr was past, at about aix o'clock; : ' From, the first if was very evident that no part of the Rink could he sav ed, the fiasores being fierce and sweep ing and the wind' from a northerly direction.- All efforts were therefore directed to saving ihe'adjacent build ings. The Elmers building was on fire several times, on the outside stair way, the window, casements and at the roof, but. the vigilance of the fire men and the ceaseless activity of Mr. Brady kept it In hand. A strong- effort was made to save the warehouse, and some of the fire men we're inclined "to think it could have been done had the hose been first-class, but we doubt it. The building was kindling wood and the flames were too fierce to stay them in the short distance. The warehouse was rented .by Messrs. Wermuth & Boettcher, .the well-known hardware firm of lltlr streot, and was full of goods In their line such, as nails, barb wire, corn-planters, stoyes, &c, &c, goods in all amounting to $5,000, in sured for $3,000. There was no insur ance on the warehouse, value $500. The insurance on the Rink and con tents was $2,100, all- lost.- The dam age to Elmers' building was probably $250; C. Davis's, slight; Columbus Canning Co., slight; Elmers,' stable $20; Engel's damage by removal of goods from residence $10; O. A. Stearns, same, $25." .This was the third fire in .the city within two weeks. We don't think that any one believes this to have been incendiary. There. had been a dance at the Skating Rink, and we under stand that the last person left the Ri nk at about fifteen minutes after two. We may as well close this news item with a Bhort but .very loud call for better appliances to fight fire. It has been demonstrated time and again that the firemen are efficient and do their work admirably--couldn't do better but they need better facilities. The town has simply been lucky here tofore, when fires have broken out, in not having high winds. We have, in memory, one, two, three, four occas ions, in recent years, when with a strong wind, such as we are liable to have any moment, a very considera ble portion of the business part of the town would have slid away, and it becomes the energetic business men of the place to do something before their places are -swept off. - A. nrdere Assaalt One of the most brutal assaults we have ever heard of was made near this city Friday last upon the persons of S. S. Burns and F. D. McMurray, two young men from Appanoose connty, Iowa, who were on their way to northwestern Nebraska. They had a covered wagon and were driving a fonr-horee team. Near Fremont, a man by the name of Robt. B. Eastling asked for a ride, stating that he had a brother living at Schuyler, where he wished to stop. He continued with them, 6aying that his brother had come to Columbus. When about a mile and a half east of this city, the two young men sitting in the seat of the wagon, not having any suspicion that a murderous fiend was their com panion, they were dealt treacherous and murderous blows on the back of the head with a blacksmith's hammer weighing probably a pound and a half. Both were knocked out of the wagon, one of them being run over by one wheel. Their wounds were cared for at the office of Drs. Martyn & Schug, and the men are now stop ping at Shepherd's Hotel, and seem not to be seriously injured. The team became too unmanageable for East ling and supposing that other parties (coming along the road near by) were pursuing him, be abandoned the team and endeavored to make good his escape. Within fifteen minutes, offi cers John Hnber and John Burrell were in pursuit of him, and instinct ively tracked him toward the B. & M. railroad bridge where Hnber stopped with the wagon. Bnrrell proceeded across the bridge on foot, captured his man abont three miles from the south end of the bridge, in -Butler county, and marched him northward at the end of a pistol. As will be seen else where, he was at once promptly in dicted, a special grand jury being empanelled. The young men sup pose that Easterling's design was to kill them, await a convenient oppor tunity to dispose of their bodies, and he would thus have their team and outfit. It seems he made no attempt to rifle their pockets. A new swindle is said to be going the " rounds. Two scamps travel through the country purporting to represent a detective organization, and exhibit ah abundant supply of authoritative papers and documents to that effett. Every man they hold a secret conference with, they endeavor to install him as a private detective for the community on condition of thepaysaeatof 5.. Maybe they take his sigaatare also, which eventually willUnra up at the bottom of a note. Being oa a secret mission they enjoin the greatest. secrecy which contrib utes woaderfallyto the saecees of their.schesse. The victim feels under obligations to keep his knowledge sacred, uatil ,bis suspicions become aroused, then he would, not cheep it for shame. Schuyler Sun. PerMaal. V. T.

The climate of Denver is not favorable to ner nervons syBtem. A gentleman in from Niobrara teljs a reporter that a multitude is now waiting to make settlement on the Santee Ian dp, which are to be opened on May 15. The Indians have selected the valley lands, leaving about sixty-eight sections of upland to be taken on the day of opening. Competent land lawyers, including B. J. Chambers, of Niobrara, ex-receiver of the land office, say that a homestead settlement can be made any time after midnight of May 14, and that the tim ber culture filings cannot go back of 9 a. m., the hour the land office i$ opened on May 15. So there are likely to be no timber claims filed. As high as $50 is offered in vain for guarantee of a timber claim on the reservation. The above we take from the Sionx City Journal. A map showing these lands may bo seen at this office. Tho. St. Paul (Neb.) Free Press has this mention of a gentleman well known to many of our readers, and a former minister at tho Gleason church : "Rev.

MERRICK COUNTY. From the Nonpareil's Silver Creek Cor respondence. Mr. W. H. Winterbotham, who has been putting in a stock of hardware in Hill's new store, expects to begin business some time this week. Mr. Geo. Smith, son of Mr. S. C Smith, is seriously thinking of start ing a newspaper at this place. George is an active, intelligent young man, has had several years experience in printing offices, and Is doubtless well competent to manage a business of this sort. Our people should give him every encouragement. Mr. S. C. Smith and Hon. Leander Gerrard, both of Columbus, have bought all the vacant land on the vil lage section, which includes it all. ex cept three eighties and the town plat. They are abont laying off additions to the village. On some of theso Iota bouses will be built for rent as the demand may require. These gentle men are of the opinion that the town is bound to grow and prove their faith in their works. BELLWOOD. From the Reporter. W. T. Calloway had an exciting little scrimmage with a mad dog on Monday. The rapid animal was first noticed in his yard running at a rapid rate and snapping at objects in its course, having bitten one bog and attacked others. Mr. Calloway secur ed a club and awaited the coming of the dog which beaded directly for where he was standing, frothing at the mouth and eyes sot. As the ani mal came within reach Mr. C. dealt it a heavy blow on the head. The dog only swayed and without making the slightest noise passed on into the buggy shed near by when the door was closed and the dog secured. Yes terday Mr. Calloway opened the door and the dog ran out and was shot at once. There is no question but that the canine had hydrophobia and it was a fortunate thing that Mr. Callo way succeeded in its destruction. COLFAX COUNTY. From the Sun.J Charley Bradford, in endeavoring to take off his overcoat at church Sunday.'pulled off both coats, leaving himself in his shirt sleeves. The church people smiled, despite the solemnity of the occasion. Mr. Erichsen received two wagon loads of eggs from Butler county last week, which came around by way of North Bend. A man in Butler coun ty having contracted bis corn herd, is also delivering it to Mr. Wright by way of the Bend. Willie Kropf died Friday morning of diphtheria. Thix is the third child of Mr. Fred. Kropf'n family taken off with thn dread disease in the t-h rt space of three weeks. It is the most distressing instance of affliction that has ever occurred in the town. A.
