One of the most asspicious, and cer
tainly one of the most enjoyable social
gatherings ever held in Golambms, was
the opening ball and reception at the
Hotel Thurston Monday evening.
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.

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.

A WIN MILL MMNFttTOtY.

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

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."

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.

Eben Pierce k Co, of Taooma,
Washington, Territory, we see by Ta
ooma papers, are among the most enter
prising real estate firms of that booming
city. Mr. Pierce, a former resident here
(1870-74) is a pioneer there, has accum
ulated wealth by his investments in real
estate snd confidence in the future of
Taeoma. He has won sn enviable repu
tation for uprightness in business affairs.
Ebens many old friends here will be
glad to learn of his suppose.

Our teacher, Mr. Banguss, was taken
suddenly very sick Saturday night at
Mr. Jones's, his boarding place, and Dr.
Jackson was called from St Edward in
the night to attend him. He is better
but has not been able to teach all the
time this week.
Mr. Nels Anderson was expected back
from Chicago with his family Thursday
to live on his farm again. His friends
will be glad to have him among them
again.
Martha Hanchett will commence her
school in district No. 35, Nance county,
Monday.
Mrs. Anna Ely of West Hill visited at
Palestine Thursday. She will teach the
Irwin school, commencing Monday,
March 4th.
Bev. snd Mrs. Oury will commence
house keeping near Nels Peterson's on
the Lookingglass, next week.
Peter Walen's children have all been
sick with lung fever, but all have recov
ered except Martin, who, though better,
is not yet able to be out.
S. P. 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.
