Although the summer is passing away, we may have a long fall in which a good deal of work can be done on the canal that is to give Columbus a cheap water power. A light shower Sunday night was appreciated by the growing crops. In some sections of the state, corn has be gun to dry up, and farmers were getting apprehensive. Saturdays and Mondays have for years been the chief market days of the week in this city, but Monday seems to to be gaining somewhat over Saturday, for some reason. Mr. Duffy is engaged in moving a school house several miles east of the city, and happening to get into a sandy place, he has been delayed in getting to work in this city. The audiences which greeted J. H. Seed's lectures last week would have been an honor to any lecturer, and they were well repaid for attendance, all be ing most excellent.

Sev eral fish have been pulled out by local sportsmen of late of considerable size. Cedar Rapids Bepub. As we go to press Tuesday after noons we cannot here give the result of the haul of fish made from the lakes of the Fish and Ice CVx, which was to take place yesterday at five, with a seine 200 feet long. If satisfactory, a haul is to be made once a week. For the same rea son, Dr. Britt's lecture must go unno ticed till our next issue. Columbus owes more than a little of her fame with the traveling public to the electric lights, which so brightly il lnmine her streets and business houses. The sooner every city and hamlet comes to realize the fact that light is the best adjunct to the police force, and that the night-prowlers and night-hawks should be abolished, the better will it be. The officers elect of Banner lodge K. of P. at Platte Center are James Bur rows G O, P. W. Hess V. CL, Geo. Thom azin P. CL, Wm. Kent M. A, G- Jf. Hop kins K. of B. and S Dr. Powell Prelate. The visiting Knights, who were accom panied from here by the K. of P. band, were handsomely entertained by their Platte Center brothers at Scheidel's hotel The new brick blocks of Borer Sz McPill and C. H. Sheldon on Thirteenth street are just now receiving the finish ing touches so far as the walls are con cerned, and with the cornice they cer tainly make a very handsome appear ance indeed. When Oehlrich Bros. complete their block (now begun) that corner will .be the most attractive busi ness center in the city. A farmer suggests that if Mr. Swift, one of the big four, is so generous with money he helps to steal from the farm ers, he ought, besides putting up hos pitals for this and that, restore to the farmers some of his ill-gotten gains, by putting up an immense farmers' home, so that the class from which Mr. Swift has been and is stealing so much, will have a slight recognition at least The west-bound U. P. passenger train that left here at 11:30 p. m-. Mon day met with an accident at Chapman, at about 2 o'clock yesterday morning, running into the rear end of a freight train, which was partly on a siding and partly on the main track. As we go to press we cannot learn farther particu lars than that one of the firemen was injured. It is said no lives were lost. The Albion News strikes a good point when it says that the matter of nominations should not be left wholly to the candidates there may, indeed, be a little bit of irony in the sentence. Cer tainly, those who wish to secure their own nomination should not be allowed to dictate. The people have far too little to say in such matters, remember ing that it is they who have to foot all the bills. Well! The centrifagal process was thought to be perfection in separating butter from milk, but now it is claimed that the "butter extractor' is a great improvement over that. With thmnv enters the machine aa in ordinary ex tractors, and the skim milk is delivered in much the same manner, the great difference being that -irtr"i1 of cream being delivered by the other tube, but ter s given out in the granulated form. Those who know Dr. and Mrs. Schug will not be surprised to hear-that a por ter on a Pullman car (in which the good couple were TrI"i their western tour), inquired of the doctor how far he was going on his wedding' trip. We have not heard what answer was given, but we can answer that it will be as long as life lasts, and such nhonld be the life of every married couple a perpetual honey-moon, each kvingly-considerate of. the welfare of the other.

Last Wednesday morning, Paul Krause arose early and filled a boiler with water and lit the gasoline stove. He then set the alarm clock to arouse him in three-quarters of an hour, and went to bed. The alarm woke him up, but he felt weak and prostrated. One of the children was gasping and crying and seemed to be quite sick, and leaving it in the care of his wife, he hastened for Dr. Lewis. When they returned, Mrs. Krause was lying on the floor nearly overcome, and the other child was near ly senseless. The doors and windows were opened and it was found that a ca nary bird in its cage was dead. The fam ily were all desperately ill for some time but finally recovered. The cause of the strange attack is unknown, but it acted very much as though they had been overcome by gas, but it is a se rious question if gasoline ever works in that way. It was a narrow escape, and an experience that they do not care to repeat Boone County Argus. The teachers' institute closed Thurs day afternoon, the examination being Friday and Saturday, fifty-four remain ing for this purpose; the teachers report it as being successful in every way. Everything has been in order and con ducted in the Normal style. A sociable was given in the school building Thurs day evening by the teachers. Several recitations and some music were enjoyed by the audience. The teachers present ed Prof. L. J. Cramer with Lossing-'s history of the Revolutionary War, and Life and Travels of Gen. Grant. Friday morning the teachers met at the depot to bid Prof. Clemmons good-bye and surprised him by presenting him with a silver cup and saucer. He thanked them in a few remarks. Prof. Clemmons made manv frwr?'? while here. Farmers who have a number of good cows, for which there is a very poor market just now, would do well to pre pare for selling the cream to the Colum bas Creamery. Under the management of Mr. Frank Stevenson they pay all that the current market will justify them in giving, and you will find them everyway worthy of your confidence. Ask their patrons for the past several years wheth er it has not paid them well to sell to the Columbus Creamery, and you will find a universal "yes"" in response.

Mart Leach, Lewis Lbavt, Com. Thomas Trtba. ) The Lindsay Times is regarded as a democratic organ. In the last issue oc curs the following. Coming before the convention, it is intended, doubtless, not to -affect the election,' but to have a bearing on the nominations. "From the simple fact that a man has occupied the position of county clerk, sheriff, treasur er, or what not, for a term of two, four or six years, it does not stand to reason that the people have got to vote for him again, even if he has made a good and faithful servant to the county. Make a change. When an officer's time expires elect someone else to fill his place. He will probably suit the people better, in fact he may be better fitted for the office in every particular. This sounds something like treason" to the bosses, don't it? Is it possible that the Times is to be allowed to continue in this vein? Rrpablicaa Oatral Com aUtt.ee. The committee for Platte county are hereby called to meet at the office of McAllister & Cornelius, in Columbus, Saturday, Aug. 31st at 1 p. m sharp, to provide for holding county convention and for the transaction of any, other business properly coming befose the committee.

The ball game on Monday between Columbus and Clarks was about as good a game as could be expected on such a windy day and without the services of Mr. Wake. The game resulted in a vic tory for Columbus by a score of 14 to 9. Batteries for Columbus, Bird brothers; for Clarks, Campbell and Higgins. Um pire, Brindle. This being the first game under the new management it was, con sequently, not very well organized. We hope to see the boys take the scalps of the Red Rovers before the season is over, for they expected to have such a snap here on the Fourth. Chronicle. In a business letter from Mr. M. H. White at Tacoma, W. T., he adds: "We arrived here after a four days' journey, all O. K. The first nice rain since our arrival cune yesterday. Mr. Pierce, Mr. Compton and all the other Columbus folks are well, and seem to be prospering. We got our furniture just four weeks from the time it started. There have been a great many improvements since I was out here last winter. I still think this is destined to be a large city. I am glad to see that Columbus is still on the boom.' Columbus has now greater railroad facilities than any other city in central Nebraska, and this one fact is just be ginning to tell strongly in her favor. If, now, some other of our capitalists will imitate the example of J. S. Murdoch and Leander Gerrard, and erect cottages which can be rented or sold at reasona ble figures, they will be doing this com munity a favor and at the same time reap a benefit themselves. There is a demand for -good houses, and a brisk demand for lots on which to build. Paltttiae. Mrs. Berndt, who has been quite sick is able to be out now. Miss G. L.
