Fire Warden Newbury of Lin
coln gave the boys of the Columbus

Schuyler does not allow boys on
the streets alter 9 o'clock at night.
Good plan. Ordinarily a boy has no
business out of doors after that hour,
and it can be safely asserted that a
boy habitually on the streets at night
is neither acquiring valuable in tor
mat ion nor useful moral lessons.

President, W. A. McAllister; Vice
President, Wm. Schilz; Secretary,

The expert who has been em
ployed by the city council to examine
the waterworks system says that the
present pressure is strong enough to
throw water to the top of Jaeggi &
Schupbach's mill. At a test through
2inch hose the water was thrown 100
feet. He also stated that Mr.
Schroeder had pot in a good system
of works, and as far as he had ex
amined, found everything satisfac

Last Friday evening a construc
tion train of the U. P., while return
ing from Duncan, and at about six
p. m., struck an obstruction that
caused "rough going." On stopping
the train, it was fonnd that spikes and
bolts had been put on rails. A young
Polander was observed close by, who
was arrested and who acknowledged
that another yoong Polander who
was with him had done the deed.
The other one has since been arrest
ed. Their names are John Malisky
and Andrew Leass. The young man
who did the deed had, it seems, been
refused a ride on the traia.

Fiity-fivc delegates attended the
State Firemen's Association which
held their fitth annual session in
Columbus Tuesday and Wednesday
of last week. The Columbus De
partment bad secured two rooms, the
K. & L. ball and the Opera House.
The former for a reception room and
the latter for a place of meeting.
The convention was called to order
by the President, Chief Butler, of
Omaha. Mr. Butler introduced
Mayor Kramer of this city 'who de
livered a short and timely address of
welcome to the visitors and extended
to them the freedom of the city. Mr.
Butler responded in behalf of the
association.
On motiou of Newbury a com
mittee on credentials were ap
pointed aud tbc delegates paid their
dues and were admitted in good
standing. This was the only busi
ness of tbe evening the convention
adjourned to meet in tbe Opera
House at 9 o'clock next morning.
Immediately after tbe convention
adjourned another informal gather
ing was called. Carl Kramer was
chosen president and other officers
elected pro tcm. Refreshments were
served and speeches delivered, by
Messrs. Butler. Kramer, Dibble,
Swartz, From, Pratt, Cleland, New
bury et al.
Tbe convention met Wednesday
morning in tbe Opera House and
the reports from tbe different de
partments were called for. Chief
Pearsall gave an extended report of
the workings of our department, a
description of our water system and
the rate of insurance charged in Co
lumbus. This report compared
favorably witb tbe others, aud Co
lumbus has the consolation that she
is not behind in fire protection.
Tbe morning session was occupied
in hearing reports and discussing the
different methods suggested. At 11
o'clock the convention adjourned to
1 :30 in the afternoon.
Tbe afternoon session was called to
order at the time called for in the
adjournment and on motion pro
ceeded to elect officers with the lol-
lowing result:
H. B. Dibble of York, President ;
W. H. Newbury of Lincoln, 1st Vice ;
W. H. Haven of Fremont, 2d Vice;
. L. Lyman of Lincoln, re-elected
Secretary. The oiuvotition then
called for propopitiu tor the next
Tournament, none were mide a9
none ot the cities were anxious to
have the meeting. There seemed to
be a sentiment in favor ot Columbus
but the Columbus delegation would
submit no proposition. An adjourn
ment of 30 minutes to enable Colum
bus to report was taken. Tbe com
mittee reported unfavorably and the
honors were given to Kearney and
she accepted. So tbe next Tourna
ment will be held in Kearuoy some
time next August. Platt6mouth was
selected for tbe next meeting of the
association.
A dance in honor of tbe fire boys
was given in the Opera House Wed
nesday evening. The house was
crowded and the floor full of dancers.
The visitors 6aid their entertainment
while in this city was "simply im

homes with pleasant recollections of
the citizens of Columbus.

Mr. A. Henrich has settled up with
his renter Mr DeWall, who will rent

and retire to some town in this county.
Farmers improve the winter time I
Fix np your implements, fan your
seed grain, pay your debts, and visit
your noighbora. Now there is
neighbor Cross, you have not made
him a visit tor ever so long; if he
looks a little cross it is only his way,
he has a heart as well as you. Make
him a friendly call.
There will be held a stock sale at
Bloomingdale . stock-farm, (Mr. A.
Henrich's) some time in February, it
beiug tbe fifth annual sale. Those in
want of sheep and cows, and es
pecially of fine young bulls can buy
cheap aud on easy terms. The stock
on this farm is well known as the
best in the county. Look out for tbe
sale bills! 1
Our happy neighbor, Mr. R. Lewis,
is to be congratulated. His wife has
presented him with another baby
the fifteenth we believe. All the
waters run into the ocean! All the
money into tbe pockets that are full
all tbe children come to tbe lucky
parents that have plenty. Some
millionaire would have given mil
lions for that baby, but not oue is
entrusted to him !
Tho writer is too late to say any
thing pro or con in regard to the
money for the Loup bridge, but he
would venture to suggest that the
northeastern portion of Polk and the
northwestern portion of Butler
county need that bridge more and
woold be more benefitted by it than,
the people of the northern part of
Platte county, which could be only
indirectly profited by such a struc
ture, as it would chiefly help Colum
bus. If that city grows and prospers
it will make a better market for the
farmers and thus benefit the country
all around. Wo ought to have a law
compelling counties or townships
near such structures and benefitted
by them to bear the expenses of
building and keeping in repair such
bridges in proportion to the use they
make of, and the benefit they derive
from them.
Chemists and inventors, attention :
If you want to become benefactors of
the best portion of mankind, i. e. of
the farmers' wives, you had better
devise, invent, or construct, or com
pound something for their relief.
Yon would try your best if yon ever
bad to churn for hours and days to
get a little butter. There she is work
ing away, the baby is crying, the po
tatoes are burning on the stove, the
cat is running off with the meat, the
dough i running over the pan, and
there she is churning, churning,
churning .tiid it won't come! She
ought to mend her husband's coat
and Johnny's trousers 'and Annie's
frock and darn her own stockings,
bnl she has to churn, churn, churn,
and it won't come ! Now can't some
one, instead of trying to make all
kinds of useless soap-bubbles in
vent or devise or compound or con
struct something that will bring
butter?
Winter, winter, winter! Snow,
snow, snow I and who is not glad of
it, or ought to be? The boys for
they can snowball each other, they
can coast, they can roll and tumble
in it, they can throw each other
down, tboy can tear jackets and
pants that mother mended only last
night, when she ought to have been
snugly in bed and resting next
come tbe grown-up boys and girls.
Who thought of cutlers and sleighs
in tbeso "diggins" ten years ago?
But uow, see the bobs and sleighs
and cutters of all kinds, sorts, colors
and descriptions, from tbe rough
home-made concern with a dry
goods box tied on with an ash withe
up to the finely varnished cutter,
driven by a young swell who is
taking out Miss Blank, the belle of
the country, covered with furs and
furbelows over ears and bead as
though she had no bead! And the
"horses!" You can see tho poor
skiu and bones skeleton of tbe
drunkard aud cruel fellow, tbe
shining heavy .team of the humane
farmer and tbe fast horse of young
would-be somebody! But enough!
We all ought to be glad of the snow,
it is as good as a course of manure on
the land.

A petition is in circulation in this
vicinity to defeat the law proposed
to be passed in Lincoln providing
that the county shall give nothing to
keep np bridges in counties under
township organization, that do not
exceed 500 feet. We think this is a
very unwise law, as almost every
township has numerous bridges, none
of which exceed 500 feet, and th.e
cost of keeping up such bridges, to
gether with their other expenses,
could not be defrayed. Many
are of the opinion thit this is but an
other measure to destroy township
organization, and it does certainly
look that way. Charles.
