Policy tells us that he rented his land near Seward last season at $7 an acre cash rent, and this because of the canning factory there making it profitable to the producer. Those who rented their land on the shares did even better than he. A telegram was received here yester day morning announcing the death at Columbus, Ohio, of Mrs. Rebecca Becker, aged eighty years. Mrs. Bauer, Mr. J. P. Becker and Wm. Becker started on the noon train yesterday to be present at the funeral of their mother. Let every man interested in the wel fare of Columbus do what he can toward securing farmers for every quarter sec tion of land tributary to the city.

All good goods and new. 43-tf It is to be hoped that the aid of the district court in the settlement of con troversies will not be invoked for such small sums as has sometimes heretofore been the esse. Attorneys can do a good deal to discourage a multiplicity of suits where only expense after expose is piled up to no good end. Monday evening of last week while Mrs. Winslow was absent at her daugh ters (Mrs-Gariow), the neighbors took pnssnssinn of the house and worked a complete surprise on thegood lady when she returned, in the 'way of a supper, presents, eta The evening was a very enjoyable one to those present. And thats the way to hve oar hves. Read the decision of the supreme comrtoa the submission question.

Fully six hundred people responded to the invitations previously issued, s goodly number being traveling men from Omaha, Lincoln, Kansas City and other points. The guests began to assemble early in the evening, being re ceived and escorted aboat the house by the reception committee, J. E. North, G. W. Barnhart, Carl Kramer, a A. New man, J. P. Becker, W. M. Cornelius, D. Dowty and a E. Pollock. The building was brilliantly lighted, every room thrown open, and as the gay throng moved to and fro, it presented a charming picture. A majority of the ladies, and a large number of gentlemen appeared in fall evening dress. To give a list of all the noticeable dresses, would be impossible, safice to ssy that all were neat and attractive. The spacious dining room was thrown open st 9 o'clock and dancing was com menced, and continued until a late hour. The Columbus Orchestra furnished good music. During the evening an appetiz ing lunch was served in the hall in the basement, to which the multitade did ample justice. Mr. and Mrs. Pollock did everything in their power to further the comfort and enjoyment of their guests, and are deserving of much praise for the success of the affair. Messrs. George Spear and J. A. McDaniels are also entitled to their share of credit for their courteous treatment and assis tance. Taken altogether, it was sn evening of pleasure such as our people are seldom privileged to attend, and one long to be remembered. The Thurston Hotel was built by the Columbus Improvement Company at a cost of $25,000. It was commenced Au gust 1888, and completed in February 1889. It is built of brick, three stories and basement, with south and west front, faced with St Louis pressed brick, with stone trimmings. It is 68x78 feet, with sixteen-inch walls. The building contains fifty-five rooms, all of which are large and well lighted. The basement is occupied by the barber shop, a room 20x38, supplied with hot and cold water; a billiard hall, 23x40; laundry, 23x36, with hot water boiler, capacity. 120 gallons, steam drying coil, and six tubs, with hot and cold water; boiler room, 20x36, containing steam boiler, engine, gas machine, etc.; besides these, there is a vegetable room, bar room and coal bins. The first floor, which is about six feet from the ground and is reached by stone steps, is divided into seven rooms the office, 21x38; three sample rooms, 15x20; dining room, 23x40; kitchen, 23x38, supplied with im proved range,' and steam attachment of the latest pattern, capable of providing for two hundred guests; a cozy ladies' reception room is located at the end of the hall. The second and third floors are divided into sleeping rooms, all of which are carpeted with handsome Brussels carpet, and furnished in com fortable and modern style. The build ing is lighted by air gas, heated by steam, and hot and cold water on all floors. All the sleeping rooms are con nected with the office by a system of electrio bells, with return call, and fire alarm attachment. The building is warmed by low-pressure steam appar atus, consisting of 23,000 feet of direct radiators, supplied with steam from a thirty-five horse boiler. A system of sanitary plumbing, consisting of closets, baths, laboratories, etc, is also provided. The house is complete from "turret to foundation stone," and with mine host Pollock at the head, who enjoys an ex tended acquaintance with the travelling public, there is no good reason why it should not become a success, and a standing evidence of the thrift and en terprise of the citizens of Columbus. THE BUILDKBS. The carpenter work was done under the supervision of the contractor, C. H. Davis, of this city; E. C Williams of Omaha, did the brick work; G. H. Wood of David City, plumbing and steam heat ing; Mason Bell, plastering; J. C Echols, painting; Sherman Knee, elec trical appliances; Detroit Gas Co, gas machine; Albu SchaU, Omaha, cut stone; B. Grahl, Council Bluffs, cornice. KOTBS. Frank Gay, proprietor of the Gay House at Fullerton, attended the ban quet. Frank Locke and wife of the Pacific at Norfolk, were among the guests present. Fifty-two guests registered Monday night and every room in the house was occupied. We heard several traveling men, in ex pressing their opinions of the house, say "it is simply immense." J. A. McDanielB of Chicago is night clerk, and with the experience he has had, is entirely at home in the position. DW ma Hk ilmjatits. Hejnrich TaTseke, a young man 20 years of age, living on Loseke creek, 15 miles northeast of Columbas, and in Colfax county, met with a fatal accident while hunting last Thursday afternoon. It seems that the young man stopped to rest, while crossing a piece of marsh, placed the muzzle of the gun on the ground and leaned on the butt, which sunk two or three inches below the sur face, and at the same time it was dis charged, forcing the gun against the young man's abdomen. The recoil caus ed an internal injury. He was found about half an hoar after the accident, uitoonecsbaa, and continued in that state until Satarday afternoon, when he died. Dr. Willy of this city attended him. The case is peculiarly sad, from the fact that the young mans father was kffled by an accident afew years ago.

IsttobttrsxiMAJismtsthsLijt i'f A project which the Columbus Board of Trade has had under consideration for some two weeks past, was consumma ted last Thursday evening by the Board offering a bonus of $3,000 to Messrs. Dean k Woosley, of Ashland, Neb, to locate a wind mill manufactory in this city. Ever since the matter was brought before our citizens, they have worked with untiring energy and with a deter mination to secure the enterprise, be lieving it would be a good thing for the town. Columbus was not alone in the contest to secure the prize, as Hastings and Norfolk were encouraging the loca tion in their cities. The project of Dean k Woosley, will be incorporated ss the "Gilt Edge Man ufacturing Co." with a capital of $25,000. They will manufacture a newly-invented wind-mill of which Mr. Dean is the patentee, and in connection will make tanks and all other necessary attach ments for the mills. The buildings which the company will occupy will be constructed of brick, f oar of them to be 20x50 feet, and an engine room 16x95. The machinery will be of spproved pattern, with a capacity of taming' oat three thousand wind mills a year. Work will be commenced on the buildings ss soon ss a location is selected. It is expected the factory will give em ployment to from 25 to 50 men aelsoon as it gets well under way. They expect to hive the factory in running order within sixty days from the time the building is commenced. Citizens generally who have so gener ously contributed money and time to this enterprise deserve great credit NeanaluuM la California. Mrs. David Anderson, a former resi dent here, but now of South Omaha, writes an interesting letter from Cali fornia, where she is visiting, to the South Omaha Journal, in which she de scribes a pio-nic held at La Jolla park January 30, by a party of Nebraskans, among whom were Frank Barnes and family of Madison. In speaking of the park, Mrs. Anderson says: "Here the fine coast scenery is supple mented by majestic snow clad moun tains to the eastward. At noon the hungry pic-nicers did ample justice to the toothsome lunch provided, while absent members of the families repre sented here were arranging at South Omaha a Pennsylvania dinner to be eaten in close heated rooms with the temperature very likely at zero. In this delightful climate we were able to re fresh ourselves, al fresco, seated on the grass, the vernal air and magnificent scenery around us made mere existence a delight After dinner the tide had gone out sufficiently and two or three hours were agreeably spent hunting sea shells and mosses. Many a dim and wave worn cave were explored. The in coming tide nearly caught one adven turous party of cave explorers. But all is well that ends well, and the tired though merry party before sundown ar rived safe at home after a delightful day spent in the open air of this sunny southern California." Weather Report.

Maynard Hnrd A large audience greeted the Love Inman Comedy Co. at the Opera House last Wednesday evening to see the play "Facing the Enemy." The performance had a few redeeming features, but taken as a whole, it was rather a poor show. People were led to believe that the com pany was above the average, on account of their advertising "open date, owing to the burning of the St Paul opera house," eta, winch was only a shrewd advertis ing scheme. Thursday night they played "Diamonds and Pearls" to a smaller audience, though the play was better. Otters Wanted. Offers of land for the location of the plant of the Gilt Edge Manufact uring Company, are wanted by the Board of Trade. Land must not be less that two lots in extent, and must be adjacent to some line of railroad and within the corporate limits of the city. Bids mast be submitted on or before noon of March 12, 1889.

Eklund, who is clerking for Mr. Balsley in Genoa, is in the neighborhood visiting his many friends. Mrs. John Berlin has another little daughter. One of the Johnson brothers, who own the Pepper farm, died last Thursday. Miss Gertrude Jones will commence her sixth term of school in our district the middle of the month. Our school closed Friday afternoon. Mr. Banguss had prepared a good pro gram for the closing exercises in the evening, which was carried oat to the credit of teacher and scholars, though his illness had prevented it from being perfect. At the close Mr. Bolf, in behalf of the school, presented Mr. Banguss with a beautiful cabinet photograph album. Weakness of body and surprise nrevented him from expressing his feel' ings as he desired. His remarks to the school were excellent. Mr. Bacgnss will start for his home in North Carolina as soon as his health will admit. We shall regret to have him leave the neighbor hood. He has nroved himself not only a first-class teacher, but an excellent christian gentleman. As citizens of this district we may be excused if we each take a personal pride in our school. For goodness, intelligence and activity, we do not believe they can be excelled. Dax. District 44 aad Vieiait jr.
