Thursday night somebody broke
twenty panes of glass at the Frst-ward
school-house, evidently with a sling-shot,
as shot was found on the floors of the
building. Corporal punishment, in lim

might have been a good thing for the
lads who did this deed. Wanton de
struction of property is an indication of
a bad, or at least, a thoughtless ctzizc
ter. Boys, .quit such meanness.

Well! Well! Even in Omaha, a city
which is probably as good as any "in the

on Sunday. $100 was the fine against
poor Hajak the other day for selling 50
cents worth. What is the world coming
to, anyway? Isn't it "a libel" on Omaha
for the daily papers there to publish
this fact.
The new city council organized
Saturday evening, Messrs. Wells, Phil

the transaction of some other business

with music, and other amasements.
When the time came for the guests to
depart, Mr. Erb presented each one with
a handsome memento of the occasion.
Mr. and Mrs. Erb were then congratu
lated, and the happy little party broke
up. It was an occasion never to be for

One day, by actual count, the foams
were twenty-four from Polk county and
one froa Butler. Besides, he says there
is great activity on the part of Bell wood
in fixing ap the roads leading that way,
and opposition to the building of a
bridge on the south channel of the
Platte. Columbus has interests there
that will bear looking after. It is hu
man nature to expect that Bellwood will
work for her own interests, and do what
she can, to keep farmers west of there
from doing their trading, at Columbus.
Dealers here, in all lines, can and do
make it an object for everybody in this
section of the state to trade here. Try
them.

Sup't Lane to the county superintend
ents on Saturday, the 29th, that the day
had been changed to the last Monday of
June. It came too late for word to
roach many of the districts and hence
the meetings were held very largely over
the state on the usual day. The work
done at these meetings is consequently
nulL New notices will be sent out in

will be taken ten days before the last

Bev. Powers preached rather an un
usual kind of a sermon last Sunday
evening. His theme was "Denomina
tions," his text I Kings xxii:&L He
gave the number of churches, ministers
and communicants of some dozen differ
ent organizations in the United States
and among the English-speaking com
munities of the world and declared it as
his belief that in all the churches, from
the Quakers to the free-thinkers, and
including Episcopalians and Boman
Catholics, there were good men and wo
men, honestly striving to know and do
the will of God, heavenward bound; he
thought there was altogether too much
sectarian prejudice, men and ministers
were too much inclined to look through
denominational glasses often to the
prejudice of the cause of religion in the
world. Several texts were quoted as in
dicating the spirit of Christianity, mak
ing from the testament a strong founda
tion for the Bev. gentleman's remarks:
Mat xvii:2, 3 and xii:50; John, iii:5;
Mark, xi:38, 39; Born xii:4. 5; Lnke,
xiii:29; Bev., vii:4 to 12. A large congre
gation was present, representing several
of the different religions organizations
of the city, and all listened attentively
and appreciatively to the sermon.
Wm. Englebart was in town Thurs
day and made this office a very pleasant
call on business. To our inquiry for
news he gave us a brief account of the
prairie fire in bis neighborhood Tuesday
of last week during the gale. The fire
was set out near Creston by a man who
was burning piles of corn stalks. It got
away from him and swept southeast at a
very rapid rate and destroyed, at least,
$5,000 worth of property. The house of
Mr. Englebart, sr., was saved from de
struction after the names had begun to
creep up the sides; E. A. Sage's loss was
easily $500; Henry Wurdeman lost three
big stacks of hay; Henry Bobert, the
growing timber on ten acres, and three
long hay stacks; Taylor Wink, every
thing except dwelling-house and barn.
Mr. E. thought that this loss included
some hogs; Edwin Haka, barn, hogs, etc,
leaving two horses and the dwelling
house. There is talk of sending the man
who set the fire, to the penitentiary. It
is a little strange that men live in this
country for a great many years and 'yet
are so extremely careless concerning
fire, which in an hour, sweeping across
the country, can destroy so much prop
erty. We don't know how it was with
this man, or what the particulars were,
but we do know men who seem to have
a sort of mania for setting fires and
"clearing off the prairie." They have
seen the bad effects time and again, but
still persist in setting out fires when
there is no special call for it, and when,
with even a little preparation, it might
be made perfectly safe. It may be a
morbid desire for the excitement which
it stirs up. It certainly is the result of
thoughtlessness.
"Seven sets of harness were stolen
in one night at Columbus. Our sister
town is getting up a bad reputation."
So says the Schuyler Sun, bat the para
grapher in this case did not exercise his
usual good judgment in nicely discrimi
nating between the different ways of
gaining a reputation. If our neighbor
should happen to come here and steal,
and get away unpunished, the loss of
goods only would be ours, to which
might be added the chagrin of being
robbed without knowing who did it-
According to our cotemporary here, the
Democrat, you are libeling this city by
simply publishing the fact that these
thefts occurred. This is about as quiet
a town as yoall find. Why we had a
theft of jewelry to the amount of fifteen
hundred dollars at least, in daylight, on
one of the principal streets, and there
waant the least noise made by the
thieves, so far as heard from it was a
perfectly quiet, and exceedingly select
affair, indeed, peaceable jtothe last ex

About the last of January, 1888, one
John Tnacker, a land-sharp of the city
of Los Angeles, CaliL, accosted Charles
Zielke, a confiding German who lived
and owned property there valued at be
tween $12,000 and $15,000, and by false
representations and downright lying, it
is alleged, induced Zielke to exchange
his city property for a "good farm" of
480 acres in Platte county, Nebraska,
represented by Thacker to be worth $30
an acre. The exchange was made and
deeds executed. Some time in March
following Mr. Zielke with his sons came
to Platte county, to build on and im
prove the land he had bought, but find
ing nothing but sand hills worth, as the
testimony of witnesses showed, not to
exceed $1 an acre, he did not build nor
go onto the land, but sought legal advice
and employed C J. Garlow to take some
action against Thacker. After a thor
ough investigation, Mr. Garlow brought
action for redsaon of the contract, and
in June last, went to thecity of angeb,"
found Thacker and demanded a redsion
of the contract, which apparently very
much surprised Mr. Thacker, as he didn't
expect to be strack that way. He re
fassd to comply with the demand, and
papers were at once filed in the superior
coart, against him, asking for a redsion
of contract and $4,000 damages.
The case was submitted to the coart
about a month ago aad taken under ad
liawaii wt. Xsst Thursday Mr. Garlow re
ceived a telegram aauouncing a decision
in favor of hat client.
This is a great victory for Mr. Garlow,

We wish to express our heartfelt
thanks to our many friends of Coluni
dus ror tne oeauuinl uauy carriage pre
sented to us through the kindness of
Mrs. Susan Woods and Mrs. F. C. Green.
Language under such circumstances
fails to express the deep gratitude of our
hearts, suffice it to say we shall ever re
member you, first, as true friends, sec
ond, at the throne of divine grace, and
third, little May Maxfield shall le
taught to revere the city of her birth.
So with sentiments of the most highest
regards for your future welfare we ever

It will pay any person who is willing
to spend $4.00 for a gate to examine the
one at E. A. Gerrard's residence in the
western part of the city. It can be readi
ly opened and closed by the driver,
without getting out of his vehicle or
down off his load of hay and raises over
obstacles without additional power. Mr.
Gerrard is a man of good inventive
genius, as has been shown by several of
his achievements in that line, and need
ing a gate of this kind for himself, he
put his wits to work, and has the best
we have seen for the purpose. 48tf

Some incidents of the high wind of
election day will not be out of order. It
was more violent than most people were
aware of. The destructive fire on that
day which came through Sheldon's sec
tion was taken across roads and plowing
60 feet in width, with a large number of
people fighting it back. A. C. Pickett s
new barn was moved a few inches and
twisted some, and in its capers, the wind
took a large portion of fall plowing from
Joe Drinnin's s. e. )4 which it used in
grading the highway to its own liking.
