A dispatch to the Omaha World of

Last Friday afternoon the children
of the Third ward school attended the
funeral of little Eddie Rollins in a body
and placed a handsome pillow made of
flowers in which was worked the name,
Eddie on his coffin. The funeral ser

and timely remarks, after which the
body was interred in the Columbus

Henry Bean makes a suggestion
worthy to think about, while we have no ,
bridge over the Loup. It is that mer
chants selling goods to customers from
the south side deliver the goods free of
charge at the house of the bridge watch
man near the railroad bridge. The
wagon to haul the same might make
trips at stated intervals during business
hours, without much additional expense,
considering that grocerymen often take
goods a like distance in the city.
Lightning struck the chimney of
Louis Weaver's dwelling on 14th street
Monday night, penetrating to the ground,
knocking plaster off, throwing soot all
around and leaving a brimstone smell.
The family were sound asleep through it
all; a neighbor, Mr. Helb, seeing the
chimney non eat, went to see what had
become of tho family, but not being able
to rouse them, went and got neighbor
Win. Becker to come along with him and
investigate. They wakened up the pro
prietor, and found nobody hurt In an
upper chamber the havoc showed most
plainly, and if any one had been sleep
ing in the bed there, it is allowed they
would certainly have been killed.
Those townships of the county t!
have not purchased a road grader shoul
at least consider about doing so. They
don't cost much and they save their
cost, over and over again, not only be
cause work is done quicker but because it
is done very much better than with the
plow and scraper. Now that teams can
no longer go everywhere and anywhere
on the prairie to avoid a bad place in the
road, it becomes a necessity to make all
parts of the roads good, which can be
done by ditching bo that the surplus
water is carried into the natural water
ways, and by crowning the track in the
middle so that when it rains the water
will run into the ditches a the side of
the road, leaving the middle a veritable
highway, dry, hard and solid.
A man giving his name as E. E.
Stevens and showing the strongest
credentials as collector for Marshal
Field & Co. of Chicago, presented kka
self to J. B. Delsman and collected a
bill of $50.25. Barney gave Jm check
for the amount, in the fini irntsnoo,
payable to the order of Field k Ox, and
afterwards, upon the fallow presenting
himself and saying that the banks had
closed, Barney cashed the check for him.
Delsman was a little suspicious for some
reason, but the credentials were so com
plete that it seemed almost presumption
to question them. After the fellow was
gone Barney traced him to Norfolk and
finding that he had there jumped his
board bill, he concluded that he was no
collector for Field, bat was working for
himself exclusively.
Now-a-daye an ingenious woman can

Wooden boxes, covered with bright
colored figured silk and ornamented
with tassels and ribbon loops, make
pretty receptacles in a bed-chamber for
boots and slippers and other minor ac
cessories. While many, living in small
houses, resort to numerous clever ways
of utilizing every inch of space. An
ottoman, for instance, made high enough
to serve for a seat, may have a hinged
top, disclosing a psxtitioned-box, for
bats and bonnets, and a long box, made
likewise, with a lid, may be itted into a
window space, and made to serve atones
for a seat and a convenient place to

The Columbus ball club went down
there Saturday and returned with victo
ry upon its banner. The Ulysses club
had beaten Seward, Lincoln, Staplehurst,
Garrison, David City and others, and
hadn't lost a game. They had heard of
the Columbus club and faint fears stole
over their minds that perhaps they had
better gather together the best ball
players of the South Platte country or
their record would be broken. Accord
ingly they secured two of David City's
best players and one from Staplehurst.
With these players and their only Bishop
as pitcher they felt they could beat any
amateur club in the country. When the
game was called at 2 o'clock over 1,000
people were on the grounds to witness
the game. Columbus came to the bat
and made five runs and whitewashed
Ulysses in return. Ulysses never re
covered the shock of the first inning,
and at the close of the game the score
stood 27 to 22 in favor of Columbus. The
latter made 20 base hits; 6 two base hits;
2 three base bits and 1 home run. Ulys
ses had 10 base hits; 2 two base hits; 1
three base hit.

The council held two meetings last

the attorney to bring suit
