MOKE ENTERPRISE.
A Saastaataat Brick Stock the Latest
. AMlttoe.
One of the beet buildings in Colum
bus wiUlw the onetobe built this spring
at the corner of Thirteenth and North
streets, a H. Sheldon of this city and
Borer k MoDill, of Clifton, DL, pur
chased of Boettcher k Kersenbrock part
of the ground adjoining Oehlrich Bros.,
who also bought 16 feet, and with the
12 feet they already own will build one
of the stores. The building will have a
frontage of 75 feet on Thirteenth street
and 90 feet on North street. It will be
built two stories and basement, of St.
Louis pressed brick, and heated by
steam. It will be divided into three
stores, to be used by Borer k McDill in
carrying on an extensive wholesale and
retail hardware business and the second
floor will be furnished for business pur
poses. The exterior finish of the build
ing, we are assured, will be in keeping
with the other fine buildings in the vi
cinityThe Thurston on one corner and
the Commercial bank on the other. The
looks of this part of town will be great
ly improved.
Much credit is due the gentlemen in
terested for the confidence they have
manifested in Columbus by erecting
these buildings and engaging in busi
ness. It is intimated that this will not
be the last of improvements in this line
as several others are contemplated.
Work will be commenced at once on
the buildings and they are to be com
pleted in ninety days.
The Platte Bridge.
The Platte river bridge south of the
city will probably be completed ready
for acceptance today. For several days
past it has been ready for use, and all
who have passed over it are full of praise
for the structure. Columbus and Co
lumbus township deserve the heart-felt
thanks of every, person who crosses the
Platte and Loup rivers here for the mag
nificent bridges that have been erected.
Improvements of this magnitude and
cost should properly be made by the
state, and for a town and township to
make them and do it so well, they de
serve the thanks, to say nothing more,
of the traveling publio who will have the
use of them free of any charge what
ever. While many other places in the west
have exacted pay, Columbus's bridges
have always been free, and this is the
correct principle.
The completion of these two excellent
structures mark an era in the history of
the city indicative of new growth,
new life and what we hope will
prove a long term of increasing pros
perity. No city in the west is better located
for railroad facilities, for available cheap
power for manufacturing purposes; no
city is further along in public improve
ments than Columbus is, and by a con
tinuance of the present policy this oity
can show a very handsome and profitable
record in the next ten years.
THE WATER POWER.
A Sabject of Great Inportanre to Colambas
What is Being Done.
The committee appointed by the Board
of Trade, Messrs Jonas Welch and RT H.
Henry, in company with Ernest Stenger,
civil engineer, went to Kearney last
Friday night and spent Saturday in
looking over the canal and water power
system at that place. They returned
Saturday night well pleased with their
trip and satisfied that Kearney has a
good thing in the way of water power,
and also satisfied that Columbus could
have fully as good if not better, should
the proposed canal be built to utilize the
waters' of the Loup. They think we
would have one advantage over Kearney
the'canal there is supplied with water
from the Platte, which at times is liable,
and often does, run dry; the canal here
would be from the Loup which has never
been known to go dry, consequently the
supply of water is assured.
That the water power would be a grand
enterprise for the town, is not question
ed. All that is necessary is for every
citizen to talk "Columbus, and water
power" and put forth every effort to
help make the thing boom.
Mr. Stenger has not sent in a report
yet, but as soon as he does the committee
will submit their report to the Board
and the public can then expect to hear
of something further in the matter.
Bargt&m at Work.
The hardware store of Boettcher k
Kersenbrock was entered Sunday night

of the window on the east side of the
building, and raising the window.
Eight revolvers, two shotguns, and a lot
of knives are missing. As soon as the
theft was discovered the officers were
notified and are using every means to
get a clue to the perpetrators. Several
suspicious characters were seen in town
Sunday, and it is rjoamble thnv am Mia
guilty parties.
Later A young man was arrested by
the police at Omaha Monday, having in
his possession some of the stolen goods.
Officer Taylor went to the city, identified
the articles and brought the prisoner
back last night
A Location Secared.
The managers of the Gilt Edge Manu
facturing company were in the city last
week and settled on a location for the
windmill factory. Two sites were offer
ed them, one by A. J. Arnold, near the
Fish and Ice company's ice house and
the other by L. Gerrard and M Whit
moyer near the O., N. k B. H. track, be
tween Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets.
The latter was selected. Five brick
buildings, four to be used as work rooms
and "one engine room, will be built at
once, the contract for which was let to
James Pearsall last Wednesday. We
understand the buildings are to be com
pleted and the factory in operation
wunm iwo montns.
Prof. W. B. Backus, Superintendent
of' the Indian Industrial School, has
shown excellent good judgment in the
appointment of John Tannahill of this
city as gardener. Thoroughly compe
tent as a gardener, Mr. Tannahill has
also the qualities of patience, kindly
firmness and courage, good traits in any
emergency in contact with Indians. Mr.
Backus has given his bond, and went to
Genoa Tuesday to prepare for entering
upon the duties of his office. The wishes
of Tax JorjBHAi. go with Mr. and Mrs.
Backus in their new work that they may
have great success, as they well de
serve it Since the above was in type
we learn that Mr. Tannahill will not
accept the position tendered him.
New Teachers.
Two important changes occurred last
week in the list of teachers in our public
achook. The board of education have
appointed Prof, J.'M. Scott of Calloway,
Neb, as principal in place of Prof. W.B.
Backus, resigned. Mr. Scott comes well
recommended as a careful, experienced
educator and will no doubt meet with
the success which has crowned the
efforts of the retiring princrpaL
:Miss Pbonnie Gashing will succeed
Mrs. Backus.. Miss Cushing is a young
lady of rare attainments, a graduate of
our high school and the board did a
commendable thing in employing her as

Swartaley's View.
Hon. J. C. Swartsley of Platte is con
siderably disgusted with the way legis
lation is going on. Referring to the ap
propriation bills, he said: "I am always
willing to vote liberal sums for the sup
port of our charitable institutions and
for all necessary purposes, but the ex
travagant amounts demanded by the
state university and for the capital
grounds, and building fences where they
are not really needed are too much
for me, and I shall be compelled to vote
against nearly all the appropriation bills
when they come up for final action.
Then I am very much disappointed in
not getting some railroad legislation to
benefit the people. The present com
mission nave the power to afford relief
from the extortionate freight rates, but
they do not seem disposed to act, and I
would favor some stringent legislation
to regulate these charges. If we can do
no better we will provide for the elec
tion of these commissioners by the peo
Ele, in the hopes that a commission will
e chosen that has some stamina and a
real desire to serve the interests of the
people." As he said this the member
from Platte heaved a sigh as if his path
in the legislative halls had not been al
together pleasant. Bee.
