Edward Williams, a Welshman, age'd about 45 years, whoso home was two and a half miles west of Platte Center, was found dead in his house Saturday morn ing, by a younger brother. He was lying on the bed. A bullet had entered his head behind the right ear, passed out a little above the left ear, hit against the plaster of the wall and then fell to the floor. The coroner thinks it very strange that there were no powder marks of any kind, and that the pistol lay loosely (not clutched) in the right hand of the vic tim. The coroner's jury, consisting of J. L. Shaffer, N. J. Gentleman, M.Doody, sr., George Scheidel, R. W. Gentleman and -Jacob Judd, rendered a verdict that the deceased had "come to his death by means of a pistol ball while in his own hands with suicidal intent." The deceased was generally supposed to be a bachelor, but evidence brought out proved that he had been married and had obtained a divorce. A watch, 65 cents in coin, and a group photograph of deceased and relatives were found on his person. The brother testified that he didn't know the de ceased owned any weapon of the kind. Friday night, the deceased had been, until about 12 o'clock, with an insane brother who was not expected to live. At twelve he started home, but waB overtaken a short distance by his father, who wanted him to return and remain with his brother tho balance of the night. This he refused to do, saying that he was very tired and wanted to rest, and, so far as now known, this was the last seen of him alive. No reason is known why Williams. should have shot himself; and so far there is no evidenco that any one else desired his death. The executive committee of the old settlers' association met in Judge Hud eon's office Monday afternoon. Charles Reinke was elected president, Mrs. Jane A. North requested to be released, on account of feeble health.

Council held their regular monthly meeting Friday night, all present bnt Councilman Gray, who was absent from the city. The session was longthy, con tinuing to about eleven. The petition of Cornelius, Marty, Stauffer, McCoy, Hockenberger and oth ers for an additional arc light at the junction of G and Eleventh streets, was referred to committee on streets and grades. A license was granted to John Bader as a herder and his bond of $250 ap proved, with John Stauffer, M. Brugger and J. C. Phillips as sureties. A license as plumber was granted to Henry Lubker and his bond approved, Sureties Henry Hockenlierger and L. Gerrard. A sidewalk was ordered along the east side of lots 7 and 8, block 118, and east side of lot 1, block 37, in Stevens addi tion. Also along the east side of lots 1 and 8, block 120, and east side of lots 1 and 8, block 125. The committee on finance reported an estimate of expenses for the ensuing year, amounting to $17,105, the items above $500 being: protection against fire $700, (this was explained by Phillips, as a sum' that might lo needed to make another connection with mains north of the U. P. track); grading and repairing streets and constructing bridges, cross ings, culverts, sewers, etc., $1,600; taking level of tho city and establishing grade on streets thereof, $1,000; sprinkling streets $1,000; lighting streets $1,400; salary of engineer of waterworks $750; interest on $35,000 water ionds, $2,350; fuel, repairs and running expenses of waterworks, $2,250; interest on $30,000 Loup river bridge bonds, $1,800. Among the large items is interest on $8,000 Platte river bridge bonds, $480. Newman of the committee on public property and waterworks read a report concerning furnishing of water by the city to the Union Pacific railway com pany. Tho report went somewhat into particulars, recommending no rate other than a meter rate, as anything else was liable to gross abuse; also that a con tract extending not longer than five years bo entered into at 7 cents per 1000 gallons, meters, etc., to bo furnish ed by the company; and $175 a month until such contract is entered upon. The report was unanimously adopted, and the clerk instructed to furnish the U. P. agent with a copy of the resolu tion. The ordinance relating to-police judge was referred . to committeo on judiciary for engrossment; also the ordinance in regard to clerk. The complaint of S. L. McCoy of ex cessive charge for water while in the Lindell hotel, amounting to $7.50, re ferred to committee on waterworks. Tho first report of Water Commission er Schroeder was read and referred to committee on waterworks. The report was very complete, and its recommenda tions wUl no doubt receive the careful consideration of the council. Committee on streets and grades were authorized to take the proper 'steps to abate a. nuisance corner of Olivo and Tenth streets, north of Grand Pacific hotel. ' Police Judge Hudson reported $65 fines collected and turned into the treasury. Chief of Police Coleman also made a full report of the discharge of his duties tho past month"; both .reports were re ferred to committee on police. Pursuant to former instructions of the council, City Attorney Cornelius re ported resolutions requiring the Union Pacific and B. & M. railroad companies to put in crossings, move all obstruc tions and open up K and M streets. The clerk was directed to notify the agents of the companies. There was considerable discussion over this matter by members of the council. Phillips thought it might be best to try for the opening of one street first, say M street. He said that of course he was in favor of opening all the streets, but he was in clined to think that one at a time would be the better policy for fhe city to pur sue. Boettcher believed that it would be to the advantage of the railroad com panies to have both streets opened, the travel could be so much better accom modated; as it is now, there is more or less kicking resulting because of the few crossings. Besides, it is nothing moro than justice to the city that the streets should be unobstructed. Newman, who wanted to include Nebraska avenue in the list when the matter was first broached, thus taking the U. P. freight depot out of the street was strenuous for now -making it a part of this pro ceeding, and, insisted that it was not fair to compel private citizens to remove corn cribs, etc., and allow a railroad company to keep its building in the street. It is evident that the repre sentative of the "silk stocking" ward has holding on qualities. In the disenssion it was intimated that the U. P. company would claim present privileges under a statute of 1880 in re gard to streets traversing depot grounds. Spoerry suggested that there was a con siderable portion of the railroad grounds that was not in use for railroad pur poses. The communication of A. Heintz, con taining a proposition to light the streets for the ensiling year was referred to the cemmitteo on streets and grades. A resolution offered by Spoerry that the mayor bo requested to instruct the police to order stores closed on Sunday, was laid over till next meeting, after short speeches by Boottchor and Spoer ry. It is evident that a very little work will make this an unusually interesting subject at the council meeting, and we will not bo at all surprised to hear sov eral big speeches on tho Sunday ques tion at tho next regular meeting of tho council. City Attorney Cornelius was instruct ed to prepare an ordinanco for tho levy and collection of tho taxes for- the ensu ing year. After tho allowance of a number of bills, and the roferenco of others to committees, the council adjourned to meet as a board of equalization, Juno 6th, 9 a. in. Shell Creek Gleanings. Tho sudden death of J. H. Watts of Wattsvillo made a deep impression upon everybody. He was a man greatly re spected by all who knew him. His phy sicians, Drs. O'Key and Martyn, had hopes of his recovery. Mr. J. S. Henrich has moved the house on his farm to bo occupied hence forth by hired help, and is hauling ma terial for a good dwelling house for himself. The grado road going from Platte Center straight west through Shell creek bottom has been attended to and is good now. So farmers can come to Platte Center and through there to Co lumbus. The quarterly conference of the Ger man branch of tho Baptist denomination in Nebraska will meet June 9th with the church at Janzen, Jefferson county, Neb. Services of recognition and ordination are also intended to bo had. Elders A. Henrich and H. P. Benthack will (Deo volento) attend. The writer has never seen as much grain delivered at Platte Center as dur ing the last few weeks. A gentleman from the cast has been looking over the field with a view of starting a paper at Platte Center. Pol itics neutral. Tho moro the merrier. Success to him! Mr. W. Bloedorn has got a new black smith in his shop; he seems to bo a rustler. Mrs. Walker in Denver is urging her sister Mrs. Win. Bloedorn to make her a visit and she will probably go and take a couple of the smallest children along. The Norfolk beet sugar concern has imported two car loads of German Rus sians, men, women and children to work in Mr. Jewell's 300 acre field of sugar beets. They are a hardy (not hard) looking company of people, some of them must havo been in this country for some time and some look rather "green." Tho corn is coming up nicely as faras the writer has seen, on a trip or two through tho country. There seems to be a good prospect for a rich harvest of everything and good prices may also be expected, and no war is to be wished for either, as tho man did a few years ago because ho had a wholo fourteen bush els of wheat to sell. After a late spring a lato fall may be expected and with it a good corn crop and "corn is king." Tho potatoes nre also coming up nicely, and the bugs nre preparing for a powerful onslaught on them. Nests full of eggs (not hen's eggs but beautiful red Colorado beetle's eggs) are on the underside of the leaves. Let the hens hatch their eggs, but destroy those of the bugs before they are hatch ed out. The Czar of Russia is greatly pleased with tho noblo and rich benevolence of our country toward his starving sub jects, while he is persecuting Jews and christians in his country. He ought to imitate us at least in toleration, and a a few men-of-war before St. Petersburg might demand a stopping of his cruelty, as Cromwell did in his time. x. t. z. The population of Columbus is about 3,500, and we would say at least one-half are troubled with somo affec tion of the throat and lungs, as those complaints are, according to statistics, more numerous than others. We would advise all our readers not to neglect tho opportunity to call on their druggist and get a bottle of Kemp's Balsam for the throat and lungs. Trial size free. Large bottles, 50c and $1. Sold by all druggists. 34-y Bell ef Heaer. Pupils who have neither been tardy nor absent during the month of May. SOS. SCOTT'S BOOX.
