He, as well as a great many others, are not particularly well pleased with the recent change in the running of trains on the Albion branch. Elder St. Clair has some Buff Cochin hens that are his delight and pride. Yesterday one of them laid an egg that measured six inches around one way and eight inches the other. There is a possibility of the M. E. church con ference meeting here, which may account for the hen laying such an eggstraordin ary egg. Madison Chronicle. Rev. Worley attended the funeral of Rev. Thomas Thompson, at Albion last Tuesday afternoon, taking part with Revs. Hodgetts, Marquette, Olcott, Os borne, Phelp- and Leedom, Methodists, and Rev. Turner, Congregational, in giving some reminiscences of the de ceased pioneer. He was born in Somer setshire, England, and was in the sixty first year of his age. John Tannahill received last week a letter from John Boans, a former resi dent of Rising, Butler county, and also a correspondent of The Journal, who used to sign himself "Why Not" In this letter, dated from Arkansas City, Kansas, he gives some of his experience in Arkansas, which state he was notified to leave because he had been instru mental in organizing a post of the Grand Army of the Republic. He advises old soldiers to keep out of, that country. Come to think of it, it is not a very promising state of patriotic feeling where the. picture of Jeff. Davis is or dered by a legislature to take the place of that of George Washington. Let us have peace on the basis of loyalty. Children Cry for Pitcher's Casterla. want fer's.

On the 28th there were several com plaints entered at police court by Chief of Police, Thomas McTaggart: one against Grace Cashwell as being an in mate of a house of prostitution; Maud Arlington, same; Frank Berch, same; against Hattie Perry, as a keeper of a house of prostitution; also DollieCum mings, same offence.

Those who desire to go to Columbus and return the same day over the U. P. find it very difficult to do so and the Sun thinks the officials are not using Schuyler right in not having No. 2, the limited from the west, stop here. If one goes to Columbus on the 1:30 he must either stay until the next morning to come home or go. to Fremont and come back on No. 7, thus traveling ninety miles to make thirty. It is an injustice to the town Henry Muhle who went to the Pacific coast some time ago to look over the country was in Schuyler yesterday. He has decided not to take his family there and has bought himself another farm this side of Columbia. Schuyler Sun. The west is fast "catching on," to use an expressive phrase of the boys. The schools are instituting their cries and yells, and other paraphernalia. Iowa puts hers into cold type thus: Hi! Hi! Hi! S. U. I. Giddy. Giddy Uni, S. U. L We have never seen 'Nebraska's Uni versity yell in type, but venture to set it forth thus: U. U. U. N. I., Ver, Ver, Versity, of Ne-bras-ki, O, My! And it is wonderful with what vim, volume and concert the students, boys and girls, can deliver it, on occasion. We had all supposed that W. A. Hampton was about to return to Hum phrey, from David City, but the Tribune says: "W. A. Hampton is preparing to re move with his family to Ada, Ohio, early next week. Their household goods are already packed ready for shipment. Mr. and Mrs. Hampton have made many friends during their residence in David City. The best wishes of many friends will follow them to their new home in the east." mnm t?,a4nH mm Ska VM aI. AMil vP 41k jJHaalocutionist as Booth is ahead of I tne ordinary ten-cent drama.

Last Wednesday evening a car load ed with mules, attached to an east bound freight train on the Union Pacific, took fire near Archer station. Owing to the intense heat, the car could not be approached. The animals shrieked with pain and fought furiously until over come by smoke and flames. The mules belonged to the U. P. company, and were being brought to this city. A meeting was called for last even ing (Tuesday) May 5th, 8 p. m., at Mien nerchor hall, for the organization of a Ladies' Relief Corps for Baker Post G. A. R.

Minutes of last meeting read and ap proved. Telegram profierred to do the legal printing of the council, first time at two thirds legal rate, second time at one third legal rate, job work at fair com mercial rates. Referred to committee on printing. L Gluck offered to let the council have the use of his office one year at $50 a year. After some contest as to which committee should look after this, Speice remarked that as perhaps there was a legal reason why it should be $50 this year, and only $24 last, it might be well enough to refer it to the judiciary, which was accordingly done. Water Commissioner O. Lu Baker re ported as follows for the year ending May 1, 1891: Paid for coal $133190 Paid for smokestack 224 00 Paid for sundries 323 01 Paid salary water com'r 300 00 Paid salary engineer 520 00 Received water rent $2029 05 Excess of disbursements 671 89 $2700 91 $2700 91 On motion of Gray, the report was re ferred back for detailed report.

The committee on police, to whom was referred the petition of Albaugh, Schon lau and others, with reference to slaughter houses in the city limits, re ported that they found the three slaughter houses in a fair condition and they believed if the ordinary care is taken to keep the floors scrubbed, and the hog lots and yards free from car casses, there need be no further com plaint. Frank Coleman's bill for extra pay becanse of a wound received while on duty, was the cause of animated discus sion. Boettcher thought that it would be no more than right for the city to reimburse Coleman for his doctor's bill at least. Pollock thought he was no more entitled to pay than a farm hand who should accidentally fall off a load of hay and get hurt; the service was dangerous, known to be such before en tered upon. Gondring believed that Coleman was entitled to extra pay; he was in the strict line of duty when hurt; he was unfitted for work; he had to pay out money for services of a physician. Pollock said he diden't believe in taking the public money to pay a private debt; if any wished to contribute towards a fund of this sort, it was their privilege. Speice and Gray spoke in the same strain. The report of the committee, adverse to the allowance of the claim, was adopted. The clerk was instructed to advertise for bids for furnishing the city with lumber for the current year, according to a list prepared. The city treasurer's report for the month of April was referred to the com mittee on finance, and his bond ap proved. The finance committee was instructed to prepare an estimate of expenses for the current year, and also a statement of receipts and expenditures for the past year. On the proposition of M. K. Turner & Co. to publish legal notices of the city council for one-third legal rates, com mittee asked that the matter be post poned as other bids were not in. A license to sell liquor was granted to F. Longtuvwith J. P. Becker and Carl Reinke as sureties. The census of poll tax-payers as pre pared by Otto Heuer was referred to the committee on streets and grades. The committee on waterworks was in structed to have one of the boilers at the waterworks reset, and to examine into the supply of water through the stspply points, and rejsjrt to council.

The Board ef Caseation Met last evening; and Organlsed-The Schools will hold a Picnic at the Close ef the YearThe Snp erlntendeMt's Report aad Roll ef Honor. The board of education meet last evening. Those present were J. N. Tuyler. Carl Kramer. R. H. Henry, G. Lehman and D. F. Davis. The board first listened to the report of the sup erintendent, which is given below. Several small bills were allowed, and then the report of special com mittee on text books was read as fol lows: To the Honorable Board of Educa tion, Columbus. Neb., April 4, 1891. Gentleman : Your committee ap pointed to investigate the propable cost of school books, if purchased by the district, snd as to the advisability of the district furnishing same to the pupils, free of cost to them, have car ried out your instructions, and beg leave to report as follows : In order to arrive at the probable cost, we have taken for a basis, the number of pupils enrolled iu our schools during the present year, and ascertained just what books they are required to use. We have them fig ured the cost of a complete list of said books.to the district and for the suke of a comparison, the cost, at re tail, to the pupils. We have found, that by contracting with publishers for the use of their publications for a period of three years, we can pur chase text books at prices about 20 per cent lower than dealers can get them for, at wholesale. We summa rize as follows: Number of pupils enrolled, in 1890-91, 629. Cost of one complete st of books for same, to the district, about f 1,150. Cost of same to pupils, at retail, about $2,000. Saving, if books purchased by district, $850. We estimate that, if we can induce such pupils as already own books, to use them, instead of all coming onto the district for their liooks, that $600 will purchase all books needed dur ing the next school vear, and that an outlay of $350 annually, thereafter unless there be a rapid increase iu at tendance, will supply all books. The above includes all copy books and slates, as well as text books. Your committee is of the opinion that the greatest objections to the dan of district ownership of books, s the additional work it will entail upon teachers.and the responsibility of looking after all books, to prevent their being lost, stolen of destroyed. The legislature passed a law on the subject of text books for schools, at its recent session and if we are right fully informed, it requires school dis tricts to purchase and loan to pupils all text books. Granting this to be the case, there Is nothing more for this committee to do in the matter, and it submits this report simply for the information it may contain. D. F. Davis, Chairman of Com. This was ordered filed. The committee on schools and teachers reported adversely on the matter of school exhibits at the State fair. The old board then adjourned sine die. The new board was called to or der by J. N. Taylor and R. H. Henry was elected tempoiary president and J. N. Taylor temporary secretary. The new board is as follows : David Schupbacb, J. N. Taylor, R. H. Hen ry Carl Kramer, George Lehman and C. A. Speice. The board stands the same as last year with the exception of C. A. Speice who succeeded D. F. Davis. David Schupbach was re-elected president, George Lehman vice presi dent and after taking several ballots for secretary, without result the mat ter was postponed. It was decided to have a general picnic for the pupils at the close of the year. It was decided to employ Miss Parker of Lincoln to give the graduating class instructions in elo cution for a week, previons to the commencement exercises, which are to be held at the opera house, Tues day evening, June l. The board ad journed till Monday evening. May 11. SUPERINTENDENT'S REPOkT. To the Board of Education, city of Columbus, Nebraska.
