Elston, Walter Caf frey and Joseph Smith were sentenced to ten days each iu the county jail, and costs of suit, by Judge Hensley, on a charge of malicious destruction of property belonging to Huttie Perry, Profanity and obscenity of language are bad enough at any time, but in the presence of ladies they become disgust ing and loathsome. No man or boy with the instincts of the gentleman should, at any time indulge in these vile practices. The thirty-fifth anniversary of the marriage of John S. Freeman and Miss Carrio Culberteon was duly celebrated last Friday night week, by about fifty of their neighlwrs, who surprised them just about bed time, and stayed till morning.

There was no unusual hole found in the skull, and of course no iron wedge could have made the alleged hole. Now that we have -a change of ad ministration in city matters, can we not have the pleasure of knowing that Madame Hattie Perry will not longer remain a resident of the city there is no probability that, at her age, she will reform her w icked ways?

Mr. Sprecher says the reports are not just; that the main building, of brick is IIIOx'SlO feet, the walls being '!(', to 14 ft. high mid '20 indies thick, the joints lieing struck on IhiUi sides, with biittrasses, here and there, 2H inches thick; the foundation for machinery alone took 1,(100,000 brick; the beet sheds are 'UNI ft. long; the smoke stack of brick, is 11H) ft. high. Mr. Sprecher says the building alone is worth $75,000. There are now, on the way from New Orleans, ft! car loads of machinery, and another ship load to follow. The plant, nt a low valuation, figures up $i0,000 and Norfolk consid ers herself fortunate in securing it for the girt or $100,000. - Arbor Day comes on the 22d of April. The state superintendent has prepared an outline of exercises suitable for schools celebrating tho occasion. These have been sent out in limited numbers to the county superintendents and may bo had by dropping a card to that official.

The city attorney at Fremont gave it as his opinion that "every registered voter can vote for members of the school board." The attorney general of tho state says the statute "provides that a male or a female, in order to vote at a school election, must have certain property qualifications." This last is not requisite if the jierson "has child-en of school age, residing in the district." Sunday, Lizzie Edgar and Pearl Blank of Schuyler were arrested by Chief of Police McTaggert for disorderly conduct. One of them held the lines over a team of horses, while the other plied the whip, and the team was about used up.

Tho mayor announced the resignation of Chief of Police, C. M. Taylor. Tho minutes of previous meetiugs and of this one, were then read and approved, aud, after thanking tho council for the pleasant relations they had sustained during the term, he invited the mayor elect, Henry Ragatz, to the chair. The council was called to order, the roll called and all found present, vi: Boettcher and Speice of the Firet ward; Phillips and Pollock of the Second, and Gondring and Gray of the Third. C. A. Speice was unanimously selected as president of the council. Bon ils of applicants were approved and liquor licenses granted the follow ing: Wm. Bucher, W. A. Schroeder, Paul Hopen, S. J. Ryan, Columbia Brewery, John Graf, V. A. Macken, Rhode v Anderson, J. P. Abts (whole sale and retail), Katy Hagel and Mc Donald Bros. Druggists iiermits were granted C. B. Stillman, C. E. Pollock & Co., A. Heintz. The liond of Ed. J. Niewohner & Co., applicant for drug gist's permit, was referred back for ad ditional security. The nomination of Thos. McTaggert as chief of police, by the mayor, was then announced, and the nomination confirmed by the unanimous vote of the council. The appointment of committees, was announced by tho mayor, as follows: Judiciary Speice.Gondring and Gray. Finance Phillips, Pollock and Gray. Public property and waterworks Gray, Btettcher and Gondring. Fire Biettcher, Phillips aud Speice. Police-Pollock, Phillips and Biett cher. Claims Gondring,PolIock and Speice. Printing Pollock, Gray and Btett cher. Streets. Grades, Sidewalks and bridges Gondring, Speice and Phillips. Phillips of the finance committee re ported that settlement had lieen made with the city treasurer, and the report was adopted. It was suggested that the clerk have printed, cards containing the committees as appointed, roll-calls, and bill heads enough for the year. Councilman Gray thought it would be proper to leave that matter with the committee on printing, but he didn't insist on it, and so the clerk was authorized to procure the printing of the committee cards, roll calls and bill heads. Speice offered a resolution calling for the appointment of some one to take the census ot persons name ror poll tax, The resolution carried. Gondring moved that Win. Thurston be anDointed to the Dosition. and bud- 1 oorted bis motion (which was seconded by Pollock) with considerable enthu siasm, insisting that Mr. Thurston would make an excellent man for the place. The motion was lost. Phillips moved that the appointment be left with the committee on streets and grades, and this motion carried. It seemed to be understood that this com mittee should fix the compensation for the work. Adjourned to Monday evening, April i:ub. April 13th. Notwithstanding the severe rainstorm, Mayor Ragatz and all the memliers of the council excepting Mr. Speice were present. On motion of Gray, the committee on streets and grades were empowered, with or without previous advertising to make contract for sprinkling of the streets of the city the ensuing year, on as favora ble terms as last year, the extent of ter ritory covered to lie same or increased.

TIIK l'LATTK CKXTKK Itt'KKI.AKY. OoBhtlesx the Right IVrsoni ClBtrh of the Law. are in the Elton Wolfe, son of John Wolfe of Burrows township, and his cousin Charles of Illinois, were arrested Thurs day afternoon by Sheriff Caldwell, charged with the burglaries and thefts committed at Platto Center Saturday night week. Two suspicious looking characters who had lieen in the town the day pre vious aud who were not to be found the morning after the robberies were fol lowed by the officials, and caught at David City, brought to Columbus, but discharged, when none of the goods stolen were identified as belongrftg to Bloedorn or Carrig. Parties interested had suspected a couple of young men who had acquired a bad reputation in the neighlmrhood, and who were in town Saturday and known to have stayed late in the night. We clip the particulars of arrest as given by the Argus: "Therefore, armed with a search war rant. Sheriff Caldwell.William Bloedorn, C. C. Carrig and Rotart Gentleman drove up to John M. Wolfe's of Burrows township, the father of Elston Wolfe. They informed Mr. Wolfe of their busi ness and he said, 'Search the premises.' And they did. The sheriff took Elston Wolfo and went up stairs and found cartridges in his trunk which Mr. Bloe dorn identified and a pocket handker chief which Mr. Carrig identified. He was then placed under arrest. On his fierson a knife was found which Mr. Bloedorn identified. Further search was made in the haymow and there Car rig's tobacco and shoes were found. Then having deputized Mr. Gentle man, Elston Wolfe was left in his and Mr. Bloedorn's charge and Sheriff Cald well, Mr. C. C. Carrig and John Wolfe started out near Cornlea where Charles Wolfe, of Illinois, had gone after a load of straw. They met the team with a load of straw this side of Cornlea. The sheriff invited Charles Wolfe to get off, but instead of doing so he laid down fiat on the load and liegan to squirm around, but Caldwell was prepared for any 'break liecause John Wolfe had told Caldwell that Charles was a dangerous man. But he finally slid off. He was put under arrest, put in the carriage and brought back to John Wolfe's. Fred Wolfe, who was with Charles,drove the load of straw to its destination. However, before he did so Caldwell climbed up on the load and rooted out the 48-calibre bull dog revolver which Charles had squirmed down into the straw. Bloedorn afterwards identified it as one of his. When the party reached John Wolfe's a more thorough investigation was made of the haymow, and about four feet un der the hay, nicely packed in a box, was found a lot of merchandise which Mr. Carrig identified, also razors, pocket knives, cartridges, revolvers, etc., all of which Mr. Bloedorn recognized as his property. Elston Wolfo showed the searchers where two revolvers were hid away under the joists and told them that another revolver was at Fred Wolfe's put away in n bureau drawer. This about completed the search, as the two suspects were dyked out in a pair of shoes which Mr. Carrig thinks are his. Both Elston and Charles were loaded, together with the goods, in the double seated rig and brought into the Center, lodged in the city bastile until the 7:30 freight came along and then tho sheriff and his prisoners departed for the county jail. The articles taken from Bloedorn were: About eighty fine pocket knives, eight of his Itest razors, five revolvers all he had and 1,000 cartridges. From Carrig's the burglars' fancy called for- Fifteen colored shirts, twelve silk handkerchiefs, four pair good pants, ten or twelve pair jeans pants, two pieces of fine velvet, thirty pair ladies' hose, seven pair shoes, one dozen neckties, one-half dozen gentlemen's kid gloves, gloves, two silk mufflers, thirty pounds plug tobacco. Entrance to both places was made through the cellar. At Carrig's all they had to do was to raise the outside cellar door, walk down and up through the in side door, then an easy job. But warn ing is now given to all others that things are not now like they 'use to was.' Bloedorn's outside cellar door was fast ened with a lKxtf! ,ucu iron bar. This they bent sufficiently for it to drop out of its holdings and the way was then clear right up on the elevator into the store. John Wolfe, the father of Elston Wolfe, vows that he will not bail his son out of jail, nor squander any money try ing to help him out of this scrape. Mr. Wolfe says he has warned his son against bad company, has tried to raise him to be a gentleman, worthy of the respect of men, and now he is past his twenty first birthday and if he will get into such jobs, why he can suffer the consequences. Neither of the young men appear to regret their situation. On the contrary, they rather act as if they were young heroes." A hearing liefore Judge Hensley Fri day, resulted in the Wolfe's being held appear at the next term of the district court; in default of $800 bail, they went to prison, where they now are. The stakes have been set, and work will begin at once on the new brick building of J. P. Becker, corner of North aud Twelfth streets. The structure will be of brick, two stories with basement, and the two establishments will be20xfjfi feet each. Charles H. Davis has the contract. k f NClean Hi I Price lo I A.

The weather the past week has lieen everything a person could ask in put ting iu small grain, and the ground is in excellent condition for receiving the grain. Our school teacher has been out limit ing and brought in three geese. It was a mistake aliout him "stalking up on a crippled goose and bagging the same," as he shot it with u direct shot from his gun, while it was soaring with a Hock high up in the air. Prof. D. D. rickett -made a friendly call at our farm Tuesday of lust week; few are better Misted than the professor. We lelieve that the farmer, who sows more small grain and less corn this year, will lie lucky, and no upland farmer should neglect sowing some millet or Hungarian for feed in winter. G. T. Ward took a running leave Saturday up the branch road to see his liest girl. Burt Stevenson was driving with his new rig in Hub district Saturday. The soft maple trees are now in full bloom, and promises a large yield of seeds, which will ripen and fall to the ground about the first of June. They should be gathered up and planted as soon after as possible, what is more beautiful, or even profitable than a nice soft maple grove on the farm? Bennie Brodfeuhrer of your city, was out here the first of the week, doing his part well, to get within speaking dis tance of the ducks and geese, and judg ing from the motions he made, we be lieve he did bag one. The strong wind from the south Sun day gave us a reminder of what we had too much of last summer. The high wind that preceded the rain Sunday night blew the roof oft from the hog sheds at Joe Drinnin's; two hay stacks and a feed rack were also tum bled over; there was probably other slight damage done in this vicinity, but at this early hour we have not learned of any. Palatine. The aged mother of Mr. J. M. Ander son died at the residence of her daugh ter, Mrs. Nels Peterson, (where she had made her home for some time), on Tues day of this week. Mrs. Peter Bain aud Mrs. Peter Swanson wese her daughters also. Mrs. Anderson was buried at the West Hill cemetery on Friday. A sister of Mrs. Rolf from Osceola, Neb., was expected to visit her this week, but did not come. Nels Nelson is able to return to Mr. Rolf's. H. K. Anderson works for Mr. R., too, this summer. As Rev. W. D. El well was leaving Mr. Rolf's on his way home, in crossing a small bridge the axle on one side of the buggy broke, throwing him forward, slacking the lines. In trying to grasp them tighter, they slipped through his hands, the buckle breaking. He sprang from the broken buggy, the horses run ning away. They were soon caught with only a few scratches on the wire fence. Providentially, Mr. Elwell win not injured at all. Lars Peter Nelson has rented 101 acres of land of Mr. Sam Mahood. Mr. Frank Swanson of Iowa is work ing for J. M. Anderson this season. Mr. Johnson, the father of Mrs. J. M. Anderson, who has been spending the winter with her, exjiects to go to his farm near Osceola, Neb., soon. Farmers are sowing wheat, aud farm ers' wives are cleaning house. John Abraksmson is doing a job of carpenter work in St. Edward. Mr. Edwin Ely and family have moved to Columbus. We wish them much success. Nels Berlin has made the iron wheel and vane for an air motor windmill aud will have it up in a few days. Mr. Ber lin has sold three hundred bushels of corn for over 50c per bushel; corn is let ter than gold these days. Dan. (ituoa. was uppermost The saloon in llu election. Saturday was the day for J. J. Tru man's bondsmen to pay their $500 each. Ed. Burke, manager of the Kent Cat tle Ranche, has left for a hunt, in the west. The lumber office of George Bear took fire Thursday night, but was not badly burned. The weather is tine, and farmers are all busy with the spring work, which must now be hurried along. Mrs. Backus and son Vernie, of Grant Institute left Friday for a week's visit with her sister, Mrs. Cooper of Seward. The Indians of the school here get letters from Pine Ridge and Rosebud saying the Indians are getting ready for war again. Frank Wake shot a swan seven feet from tip to tip of wings, but weighed only 10 pounds. It was perfectly white, and a very pretty bird. Mrs. W. E. Walton and children went east on a visit several days ago, and Mr. W. received a telegram this week telling of the very serious illness, with diph theria, of the two children; since he left to be with them, a telegram reached this place telling of the death of one of the children.
