lie honored us with a call, and during
his few minutes sojourn, we got from

the reports are not just; that the main
building, of brick is IIIOx'SlO feet, the

the beet sheds are 'UNI ft. long; the smoke

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.

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."

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.

ported that settlement had lieen made

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

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.

the council excepting Mr. Speice were

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.

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.

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

Mrs. W. E. Walton and children went
