Briefly, tho proposition is to vote $7,000 in bonds of the city, payable iu twenty years at 6 per cent., with an option, on tho part of the city, to pay atter 15 years iroin date. By the terms of submission the bonds are "to aid in tbe construction of a wagon bridge across the Loup in Columbus Township." The proposed bridgo is beyond the limits of the city, and it is a recogniz ed hardship that the city should be compelled to be at the entire expense of so costly a structure. If the bonds shall be voted, we be lieve it is now understood that the authorities are not to issue them un less Columbus township and the county, one or both, contribute a reasonable share towards the struct ure. Tbe Journal thinks the be3t policy with reference to the bridge (whether it shall be built by city, township or county, or all together) is to do, each year, with the last, cheap temporary structure we can afford until such time as we can provide a permanent bridge, which, for the Loup river, means a very costly one. It the $7,000 bonds are voted there Is no doubt whatever but the proper disposition will be made of the pro ceeds by tbe Mayor and Couucil. A meeting has been called for to morrow (Thursday) eveniug, at which it is hoped all citizens inter ested will bo present. C'OI.IJJIBIIM l.YCKUJl. Heaefif Night Opera fteae, Friday.

It will sco the sun go down on tho evening of free lands in Nebraska. It will seo the central part of the Btate iu a fair way to rival the eastern portion iu wealth and business. It will see now barren prairie transformed into green fields of waving grain.

The Buffalo (Wyoming) Echo has this to say of a Columbus youug lady recently employed to teach iu the High School at that place : "For first assistant, Miss Adelaide Thurston, formerly of Nebraska, but now teaching the Piney school, is the successful applicant. The young lady has manifested nnusual capa bilities as an instructor, and is pos' sessed of rare good sense. The student is prone to imitate the ex ample set by the tutor, and in Misb Thurston's care the Buffalo young people will acquire habits of true politeness and gentility. We predict that this selection of tho board will receive hearty endorsement by tho people." Monday afternoon a lad of six teen, with beastly inatiuctri, enticed a child three ymrs old into a secluded place, tr tho purprno probably of committing iu miunut.tble outrage upon her. The child get out of his clutches ami w:is saved from outrage, not by any knowledge of evil, of course, hut by an instinct of right. Parents cannot know how near to ruiu their youngest girls may be, aud no words cau express the shame for humanity, and indignatiou against a boy, a young man, who allows his evil propensities to gain the mastery over right principle. This boy may well be thankful that the crime he meditated was not perpetrated, if he values his life at all. We omit uames on account of the families. Columbus, Neb., Aug.
