Notice! The annual town meeting
of Columbus township will lie held at
the township hall on Tuesday, April 1st,
1890, for the pnrpose of voting a tax for
the different funds for the eiuuiing year
as required by law, and to transact any
other bnsiness that may come before the

It is now pretty generally conceded
that the farmers will decide who are to
be the next governor, state board of
transportation, legislature and iterhaps
some of the other officers. Certainly
Nebraska farmers have never before
been so roused and never before have
they indicated so strong a purttose to
stick together.
Last Saturday night as F. Brod
fuehrer's son Bennie was going home,'
two men ran out of an alley and tried to
catch him. He started home again and
they repeated it and ran him quite a
distance. Sheriff Caldwell happened to
meet him later along in the evening and
accompanied him home, but could not
find anyone of a suspicious character.
It is probable some one wanted to get
into the jewelry store.
The b'hoys who serenaded at R. S.
Arthur's last Thursday night, supposing

that yon didn't get asleep till after mid
night and had your trouble for your
pains. There is an old recipe about
cooking the hare, that begins by saying,
"first catch your hare." As near as we
can learn, Martin Hogan was captain of
the company, with Michael Hogan and
Ed. Lalus as scouts.
Maurice A. Mayer is here complet
ing arrangements for opening an im
mense stock of clothing, gents' furnish
ing goods, hats, caps, etc. He takes the
new brick building owned by Oehlrich
Bros., one door east of their grocery
store and one door west of J. A. Barber
& Co.'s dry-goods establishment on Thir
teenth street. We learn that his stock
will be as extensive as any house in
Omaha, which fact will certainly add to
the business attractions of Thirteenth
street He will have one of the very
best and largest bnsiness rooms in the
city, and as he comes among us with
high recommendations as a business
man, he will doubtless do well in his
new home.

I wish to announce that I have sold
my grocery store to Messrs. Miller &
Wurdeman. Thanking my many cus
tomers and friends for their liberal pat
ronage and hoping they will favor the
new firm with a continuance, I am
yours truly, Wm. Becker.
We are fitting up the rooms lately oc
cupied by Mr. Becker and by Mr. Boyd,
the latter for general merchandise, the
former for groceries, and will endeavor
to merit the continued patronage of
Mr. Becker's customers and the public
generally, by uniform fair treatment and
reasonable prices.
