We learn from Will Ernst, who went
to Chicago with cattle recently that
they sold for $350. The ran was
made from here in 30 hoars, stopping
only to coal and water and to change
engine.or caboose. Their market day was
a wet one, raining hard all day. In
western Iowa the crops looked about as
in Nebraska; further east, not so good.
Norfolk excursionists accompanied
by their band passed through the city to
Grand Island Sunday. A game of base
ball was to be played at the latter place,
but owing to the heavy rain it did not
cone off. H. L. Small, formerly of this
city, was one of the excursionists. There
were quite a number of our citizens ac
companied the crowd to Grand Island.
As John D. Freeman, accompanied
by Bert Mahaskel, was driving into the

shoulder and one of his legs. Mr. Ma
haskel escaped without injury. Argus.
To bid for factories, we must do
something to compete with the cheap
ness of natural gas. Great nests of in
dustries are clustering in the localities
where they can have natural gas for
fuel and light, the cost of which is com
paratively nothing. There is no way we
can do this except by boring for gas, or
utilizing our facilities for furnishing
water power.
The actions of certain men from
Leigh. Colfax county, at the wedding
party recently at Henry Wurdeman's
were among the most disgraceful that
we have known of for a long time, and
should never be tolerated, and would
not have been in this case, except that
many of the older people were averse to
trouble and possible blood-shed, and
counseled forbearance and peace.
We print this week an advertise

From what we can learn, the fight
Sunday evening in thin city, between a
young man of Columbus and another
of Madison, both of whom had been on
the excursion to Grand Island, was
nothing but disgraceful, from start to
finish, and the young men will honor
themselves, their relatives, their com
munities and all who know them and
who wish them welL by becoming sober
minded and well behaved, if not on all
occasions, then on as many as possible.
John S. Freeman, who got hurt last
Thursday was in the city Monday and
gave us a brief call. Mr. Freeman is a
heavy man. and it is a great wonder he
was not kiled by being thrown from his
buggy. He says he seems to have struck
on his left shoulder, his right knee and
his nose. The nesh on his nose was
split open about an inch in length, and
a piece of bone knocked off his shoulder.
John looks as though he felt sore in

Let the general government use
some of its surplus in investing in a
good, substantial post office building in

This will be of advantage to Uncle Sam
in the way of saving rent, making him
self more solid with his nephews, and in
building up localities at the same time.
If Uncle Sam was rich enough to give
us all a farm, he ought to be able to
erect a business house for himself in
every town where he is justified in pay
ing rent.
A gentleman stopping in Columbus
recently made inquiry as to why it was
we had so many fine hotels, and whence
they derived their support. Columbus
is one of the finest points in all the west
to radiate from, and thus it is that com
mercial travelers are attracted thither,
and it is well known that this class of
the traveling public are the main sup
port of the hotel, as we find it in these
times the smaller towns coping with
the larger cities for first-class hotel ac
commodations. The Fresno (CaL) Expositor of a re
cent date gives quite a lengthy account
of Chas. A- Frank P. and Harry E. Bur
gess, formerly well known residents
here: they are running a Pawnee medi
cine company free show, and the Ex
positor, after giving many particulars of
their life and experience among the
Pawnees, gives the brothers credit for
having an "A 1 show. Frank P. will be
remembered as the proprietor of the Co

for about eighteen months.

A deal was consummated Thursday
morning at Omaha which, says the
World, means the bringing of not short
of half a million dollars of Boston capi
tal to Omaha this summer. It was the
purchase of 44 feet on Farnam, just west
of the old city hall lot, and the 58 feet
on Sixteenth north of the Commercial
National bank site, by Frederick L.
Ames of Boston. The building contem
plated means a magnificent structure,
six or seven stories high. It will be oc
cupied entirely by S. P. Morse & Co.,
and will be one of the most complete
drygoods houses in the country. It will
be lighted throughout by incandescent
lights, and will have magnificent en
trances on Farnam and Sixteenth streets,
the interior furnishing an excellent '
promenade from one street to the other.
The building will conform to the ground
purchased, will be L shaped, and will
contain two passenger and one freight
elevator. Mr. Morse says work will be
commenced on the structure as soon as
plans can be prepared. He expects it to
be completed in time for him to occupy
for his next Christmas trade. When the
building is completed it will represent
an investment by Mr. Ames of $450,000,
which is certainly a grand stroke for
Omaha. Mr. Ames being a very wealthy
man and likewise largely interested in
railroads, Omaha will doubtless be bene
fited more and more. Every portion of
Nebraska is benefited by investments of
tnin sort, and if we cannot see them
made in Columbus, then we are still
glad that Omaha can secure tfawn.
Monday evening next, June 17th,
Mr. J. H. Beed will deliver a lecture on

Admission, adults 20 cents, children 10
cents. Bev. J. A. Beed has given the
Congregational society here the resi
dence bunding occupied for a long time
by John Wiggins, and the Woman's
Working Band wQl endeavor, by lec
tures and other entertainments, to raise
money to fit the house up as a parson
age. Both the Mr. Beads are to be
highly commended for what they are
doing for the church. Mr. Beed's lec
ture on Pompeii was certainly moat in
teresting, as an who were present know,
and this one wul doubtless be equaUy
so.
Burt Arnold has completed the sur
vey of a line west, north and east of the
city, and finds that Columbus can have
an fmmanaa water power by a water way
from the Loop above Stevens's, entering
the river again east of the city two, six
foot falls in that distance, besides which,
.the outlet would give us a splendid
system of sewerage, the natural drainage
being toward the east. If the final fig
ures shaft prove as solid as the prelim
inary lines indicate Columbus can con
gratulate herself on the situation of
tTrfngn because this win give us an im
mense, cheap power, available with
means that can readily be raised among,
home men, and at once. Get the cheap
power and we shaft have no trouble in

Erx Jocmsal: Smce May 10th, the
day of the ahoeting affray, the tramps
have gre& Cohutbajs a wide birth; the
eoomty Jan was getting: empty and the
city jail ander contract. What is to be
done? And it came to pass that Satan
went fcth to sow tares among the wheat,
and on June 5th a stranger came to Co
ImnbsB, Hing' himself a labor mission
ary, who commenced a street racket,
with what Davis calls "some socialistic
talkr" when old Spoerry came along he
thought it was time to interrupt the
preaching of the doctrine of anarchism.
when to his surprise Spoerry learned
that said stranger Stood under the
special protection of CM Taylor, police,
D. F. Davis of the Telegram and Joe
Burkto bring up the rear; and Spoerry
farther learned that a tramp has more
right hi this city than a citizen and tax
payer. The next day said stranger gave
them some more socialistic talk and
promised to return to organize an order.
Now: it is easy to prophesy that with the
organization of the dissatisfied laborers
and a little judicious nursing, some of
the seed sown said two nights will
sprout, blossom, and if not nipped in the
bud, bring forth fruit that will fill our
jails to the utmost, when Charley may
display his detective qualities to his
heart's content, and Davis may glory in
seeing his paper filled with descriptions
of scandals and crimes. I thank the
Lord that I have fallen in disgrace with
the disciples of socialism and anarchism,
as it always was my aim to earn the es
teem of the good, noble and righteous.

E. D. Chipman, the manager of the
Goshen Fence Machine company of
Goshen, IncL. has been in the city sev
eral days past in consultation with J. B.
Mathewson, their local agent here, con
cerning the establishment of a distribut
ing house at this point. MrC. is a very
well informed gentleman, has traveled
extensively and is a close observer of
men and communities. He is very well
pleased with this locality, and we believe
the prospect of getting the company
interested here is very good. The more
such the better for Columbus.
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. 4Stf
