Teachers AameiatMB.
The fourth annual convention of the
North Nebraska Teachers' Association
met in three days' session in this city
last week, beginning on Wednesday
evening. The exercises were held in the
Opera House and consisted of an address
of welcome delivered by Mr. Charles
Brindley of this city, who welcomed the
visitors in a neat and very appropriate
address. This was responded to by
SupL E. A. Enright of Boone county in
an able and interesting manner. Music
was furnished by the pupils of the High
School, and recitations given by "Mismw
Mae and Nellie North and Miss Zura
Morse.
The exercises of Thursday and Friday
consisted of well prepared papers and
addresses by the different educators
present, all of which were of a very high
order of excellence, and in an unusual
degree, practical and original. The dis
cussion on Friday afternoon on the study
of Latin and Greek was animated and
interesting, and drew out expressions
from nearly every one present. The
convention was more largely attended
than heretofore, some thirty or thirty
five different persons being present at
times during the meeting. The necessi
ty of more normal schools in Nebraska
was emphasized and a committee ap
pointed to properly memorialize the
legislature on this subject. After a very
profitable s ran on of two days the con
vention adjourned to meet at Norfolk in
one year.
At the same time an exhibit of school
work was held at the High School build
ing. Columbus, Norfolk and Albion
each had work on exhibition. Decides
considerable from the country schools
of Platte county. The exhibits were in
every way creditable. H any distinc
tions are drawn between the work of the
different towns, we would be compelled
to say that the work from Columbus
was in no way inferior to the others, and
in many points was superior.
A Deserves Praaiotiea.
W. B. Doddridge, superintendent of
the Missouri Pacific lines in Kansas, and
former station agent at this place, has
resigned to accept the position of gener
al manager of the St. Lomis, Arkansas &
Texas railroad. His old friends here,
and they are many, will be pleased to
learn of his advancement. He is a first
class railroad man. The Atchison Cham
pion says:
UW. B. Doddridge's promotion from
Superintendent of the Central Branch
and Omaha Extension of the Missouri
Pacific to General Manager of the St.
Louis. Arkansas & Texas railway, al
though a splendid compliment to one of
the most competent and deserving rail
road men in the West, is nevertheless a
matter to be regretted so far as Atchison
is concerned.
Since June, 1887, Mr. Doddridge, as
the Superintendent of all the Missouri
Pacific lines northwest of Kansas City,
has not only endeared himself to the
company he has so faithfully and accept
ably served, but to the public generally.
He has, by his pleasant manner, his
prompt and honorable way of doing
business, and by his thorough identifica
tion with the interests of Northern Kan
sas in general and Atchison in particu
lar, made a host of friends who, while
they congratulate him upon his good
fortune in receiving the recognition his
ability entitles him!to, at the same time
deeply regret that his promotion neces
sitates the severing of business and per
sonal relations that were constantly
growing stronger, and which were full of
the promise of mutual good to himself
and the people whose best interests,
without sacrificing those of the company
he represented, it was his constant en
deavor to conserve.
The Champion joins with everybody
in wishing Mr. Doddridge success in his
new and larger field of labor."

Adam Lobna, a Polander living on the
bottoms, is locked up in the city jail
charged with attempting to take the life
of Isaac Bridge. Last Wednesday night
the two men attended a gathering of
their countrymen at which a good deal
of beer was drunk, and during the even
ing a quarrel took place between Lobna
and Bridge. Reports as to what oc
curred afterward are very conflicting;
but at any rate Bridge got the worst of
it. It is said by some who were present
that Lobna procured a revolver and shot
Bridge in the head, and after secreting
his revolver returned'and innocently in
quired what the matter was. Officers
Taylor and McTaggart arrested and
placed hiT" in jaiL He was given a hear
ing and bound over to the district court
in $2,000 bonds, failing to procure which
he will remain in jaiL It is thought
that Bridge was not shot, as the physi
cians have failed to find a bullet in his
head, but that Lobna struck him with a
board in which there was a nail. Alto
gether it is a mixed-up affair.

A. F. Clark, one of the teachers in our

afternoon on complaint of his son, who
alleged that Clark, had returned home
under the influence of liquor and at
tempted to take the life of his wife and
children.
Mr. Clark came from Schuyler three
years ago and has been employed in the
schools here since. He is considered a
good instructor and it is to be regretted
that he has allowed whisky to get the
better of him. The school board were
called upon to investigate the matter,
which they did. and as Clark seemed
sorry for his misdeeds and promised to
reform, the board decided to give him a
trial, for the sake of bis family, if noth
ing more. The prosecution was not fol
lowed up.

The engraving of these likenesses is the
finest specimen of the art ever shown,
and, when examined throngh a magni

the work is realized, and the engraving
on our national coins sinks into insig
nificance in comparison. To those who
have-been entertained by either of the

souvenir that will be almost priceless on
account of the perfect likeness, while
the beautiful and noble face of America's

While sitting in one of the hotel
offices the other evening, a Jotjbsxl rep

to Columbus and its enterprising citi

ed hundreds of towns the size of Colum
bus, both in the east and west, but I
have yet to see a town of its population
with so many metropolitan features. I
was surprised when I got off the train
to find street cars, electric lights, water
works, manufactories and other im
provements which many larger and older
towns do not possess. On the whole, I
think Columbus is destined to make a
large and thriving city."

God has joined together." "Idid'nt kiss

young friend. "Very well; kiss him when
he comes home, and just make up your

The Platte Bridge. Ah Error7Corrected.
Ed. Joursal: I noticed in your issue
of Dec 26th, an article written by Guy
C. Barnum. warning the tax-payers of
Columbus, of the dangers before them,
in the location of the new bridge to be
built over the Platte river, also advises
concerning the same. His first dangers,
viz: the washing of the bank at the north
end of the bridge, is not without reason,
and should be avoided, of course.
By locating twenty or thirty rods
farther up stream, (which will require
less bridging, give better banks, and
furnish a good road) this can be done.
His second danger, I admit, will bear
watching, and is the only objection to
the present location. The present loca
tion is the most convenient for the pub
lic. But, when he speaks of the impass
able mud-holes, he is much mistaken.
They would be found in and near the
sloughs of his proposed route. He says,
"large quantities of water running over
Mr. Haight's land," but says nothing of
the waters that flooded his own land,
and made him move out of his house in
the night, and of the waters three feet
deep in the road north of his house.
He says "then a bridge at or near
Rummer's would obviate the necessity
of another bridge over the south channel
and the people living in Butler county
would have a better road, and the extra
travel would be but a trifle, compared to
the certainty, that when they wished to
haul a load to Columbus and back they
can do so witnout getting stuck m a
mud-hole."
Now, one of two things seems certain,
either Mr. Barnum is an ignoramus, or
he has an axe to grind. The first view
we cannot tolerate, the second one seems
very probable. For in the proposed
change, it would vacate a road running
through his land, and thereby make it
more convenient for him, even though
it made all the people from Butler
county travel six miles farther every
time they went to Columbus, and
through a slough such as cannot be
found in our present road.
Let this be thoroughly investigated
and the truth will out.
