The Point of Pines had more visitors
yesterday than on any Sunday during
the season. Every piece was loudly ap
plauded, but the great card of the day
was S. Kronberg, the baritone. His
songs were so excellently rendered that

an enchore, and finally he had to run
the gauntlet and get away from tho ap
plause of some twenty thousand people.

Prof. Kronberg of Kansas City will
give a concert in the opera house Satur
day evening, April 22, assisted by pupils
of the Omaha Conservatory of Music.
Prof. Kronberg has sung in nearly all
the large cities in the U. S., with such
noted organizations as Thomas' orches
tra and Gilmore's band. Wherever he
sings ho scores a marked success, and
all the music-loving people of Colnmbns
will miss a rare treat if they fail to hear

entertainment. With all tho music
lovers Columbus justly boasts of, Mrs.
Page will probably have good support.
She expects to have the opera ready for
the stage somo time during the spring
months.
Mike Lamb's suit against Brian,

prosecnto Wm. Bramley, at one time
a resident of Cedar Rapids, and famil
iarly known to many of our citizens,
died at St. Mary's hospital, Columbus,
yesterday (Thursday) morning. He had
been in failing health for several years.

Mr. S. Kronberg is an artist of wide
reputation. He hails from musical Bos
ton. Ho of course leans to tho bell
canto method, which we call the Italian
school, but his thorough musical knowl
edge and artistic ability allow him to
introduce into his repertoire the master
work of French and German without
clouding his pure style of voice culture.
His voice, which is ilexiblo and shows
ease in execution, gives good proof that
his treatment of the delicato organ is
good and careful. The compass of his
oven sympathetic voice is phenomenal.
From the Key Note, 1891.
The consecration services of Grace
Episcopal church were held Saturday
morning beginning at 10 o'clock. The
church was beautifully decorated with
flowers. The gentlemen present who
assisted Rev. Joudon were Dean Gard
ner of Omaha, Bishop Worthington,
Rev. Whitmarsh, Omaha, Rev. McKim,
Norfolk, Rev, Marsh, Schuyler, Rev.
Sparling, general missionary, and Rev.
Clark. The music deserves special
mention as it was very line, rendered by
the choir. A class of -five were confirm
ed also, forming part of the morning's
exercises. The members of the church
can pride themselves on owning, clear
of debt, one of the finest little churches
in the state.
In the case of Margaret Gottschalk
against Platte county, an action for
damages by reason of the location of
what is known as the Boulevard road
running north from the northeast corner
of Leander Gerrard's residence property,
appealed from the award of $75 by the
county board, the jury, after losing a
full night's sleep, gave a verdict Satur
day morning of $175. The testimony as
to the value per acre of the land there
and immediately thereabouts varied all
the way from $100 to $750. Twenty-two
years ago A. C. Turner bought the first
piece of land sold out of the forty, pay
ing at the rate of $400 an acre. Recently,
one lotrin the forty, purchased by Arnold
Oehlrich, brought $500. These figures
make a good showing for Nebraska real
estate. We are informed that in the
case for damages, the plaintiff had been
tendered $200, but having refused and
the verdict being for a less sum, the
costs of this trial must be paid by the
plaintiff.
The dwth at Onafca.tr our formar
townsman and 'late Mayor of South
Omaha, C. P. Miller, was recalled last
week by the trial of Clara -Allen on a
charge of perjury. She is the woman of
tho town who testified to seeing Miller
and Berlin together just- before the
shooting, that she heard a pistol shot,
saw the smoke, saw Hayes coming down,
and a few minutes afterwards saw Hayes
and Berlin come out of the weeds togeth
er and hastily walk away. The result of
the preliminary examination was that
Berlin and Hayes were released. The
Allen woman was arrested on a charge of
perjury, and not being able to give bond,
was sent to jail. Several weeks ago she
was arraigned, plead not guilty, and an
attorney was appointed to defend. Tues
day Inst the case was called, but not
until Thursday did the court succeed in
getting together twelve men who knew
nothing about the murder of Miller and
the testimony of Clara Allen. The Bee
says: "In stating the case to the jury
the county attorney sprang a surprise
and something that was not expected, as
he and the people who have been work
ing up the evidenco have always clung to
the theory that Miller was murdered. In
dwelling upon the enormity of the crime
committed by Clara Allen, he said that
he expected and proposed to prove that
instead of Charles P. Miller having been
murdered on the afternoon of October 4
he committed suicide. Moreover, be ex
pected to prove that Miss Allen did not
see Miller, Berlin or Hayes at the time
and place named by her when she testi
fied in the police court. He expected to
prove that there was a put up job and
that there was some person or persons
who had promised to pay her $500 if she
would fix the charge of murder upon
Berlin and Hayes. Maliciously and
with the intention of earning this money
she had undertaken to swear that she
saw the men commit the murder. The
attorney for the prisoner in stating his
sido of the case told the jurors that he
expected to show beyond any question
of doubt that all that Clara Allen swore
to in police court was true. It was a
well known fact that the body of Miller
was found in tho identical spot which
she described and that it was more than
probablo that she had seen the men who
fired the fatal shot."
Mrs. Nation's lecture.
The lecture "A Trip to Alaska" given
by Mrs. A. C. Ballou, principal of the
Columbus public schools at tho Schuy
ler opera house last Friday evening was
fairly well attended. No doubt the
largo opera house would have been
taxed to its utmost capacity but for the
epidemic of measles. The lecture was
delivered in a most excellent manner
giving a minute geographical and his
torical description of the country and
the pleasing incidents connected with
her journey. The lecture shows great
care and culture in its preparation, even
exceeding the anticipations of friends,
who, while looking forward to a rare
intellectual treat, could not have hoped
for such a fine entertainment. Mrs.
Ballou was very beautifully and appro
priately dressed in lavender silk,trimmed
with lavender ribbons, with black over
dress and flowers.
The receipts of the evening were
$38.50, expenses $14.50, net $21, which
Mrs. Ballou generously donated to the
Schuyler Reading Room. Schuyler

Hanging np in county treasurer
Lynch'B office at tho court house, in a
conspicuous placo, is a copy of the reso
lution offered by supervisor Pollard at
the last meeting of the county board and
unanimously adopted. We give it below
in full, and desire to call especial atten
tion to it. The usual phraseology of the
board in similar instances has been to
use the "softer term" direct, but here
tho word of authority is used, indicating
the power to control and to require
obedience, and doubtless it is this word
which brings the resolution so promi
nently to the front: "Resolved that our
county treasurer be and is hereby com
manded to enter action against any and
all parties delinquent on personal taxes
for more than one year and prosecute
same to judgment, nnd collect as may be
deemed necessary in tho premises and as
provided for in Sec. 3988 Consolidated
Statutes of 1891."
A writer in the Iowa Homestead
urges the importance of sowing only
pure grass seeds and especially clover.
Eastern timothy is likely to contain
oxeyed daisy, sorrel, Canada thistle and
like pests. There is considerable adul
teration even in this business. In Bo
hemia there are said to bo large facto
ries for the manufacture of seeds from
quartz, coloring them to order and
selling them for the specific pnrposo of
adulterating clover seeds. Examino
with a magnifying glass; one sample
from Virginia had five thousand weed
seeds to tho pound, and one samplo from
Canada had over twenty thousand to the
pound. Think of the immense, the in
calculable mischief done by planting
weed seeds in such quantities. Buy
from a reputable home dealer who un
derstands his business, and in looking
after his own interests gives you good
seed, true to name.
Wo clip the following from the April
number of the Colorado School Journal,
which will be of interest to most of our
readers: "The schools of Montrose aro
accomplishing some fine work thiB year.
The teachers are earnest and conscien
tious in their work and aro ably assisted
by the school board. A careful and
competent school board is a factor of
prime importance in all school work,

is aiming to connect the work of the
school with the State University. His
efforts are heartily approved by the au
thorities, and his work popular with all
classes. The people in general are much
pleased with the results in tho schools
and consider them among the best in
the state."
It seems that those who steal even
valuable dogs cannot be dealt with ac
cording to their deserts. Repeatedly
the law refers to ownership of dogs, and
consequently to the animal as personal
property; the owner of a dog is liable
for depredations committed by his dog.
"The theory that a dog is not personal
property," said Justico Smith, who re
cently tried a vigorously prosecuted
and defended dog-ownership case, "seems
to me to be inconsistent with every other
section which touches on dogs. In fact,
I cannot find any Bpecial reference to
the fact that a dog is not personal prop
erty, and I imagine that the police judge
would not bo slow to disregard any
other opinion and send a dog thief where
he belongs." The World-Herald re
marks that "good dogs will have to
continue to roost high for two years
more."
Two deaths of children at the Cath
olic school occurred last week. The
first was Thursday morning, Nellie
Conley, aged 11 years, whose parents
live about seven miles north of town.
The trouble was heart disease. Her
parents were in to see her Wednesday,
and found her in usual health. She was
the only child and leaves many sorrow
ing hearts. The funeral was Friday
morning. May Tnrnes, 13 years old,
passed away Thursday evening with
measles, after a brief illness. Her
parents, who live near Schuyler, reached
her bedside shortly before she died. As
several children had the measles in a
slight form, and the two were taken so
suddenly, it caused considerable un
easiness, but as all the rest have about
recovered there is no danger at present,
at least.

City Council.
April 10.
Present. Mayor Schupbach and all the
councilmen.
Minutes of previous meeting read, and
after somo corrections, approved. These
show that Gray was elected president of
the council, and that Welch and Spoerry
were appointed on tho board of health.
The bonds of Thos. McTeggart, Daniel
& Campbell for liquor license were ap
proved, also of L. Van Schoik for drug
gist's permit. The bond of city treasurer-elect
Niewohner was approved as to
security and referred back for correction
as to form.
Spoerry was authorized to care for
Henry Bowlder, an orphan boy.
The mayor announced the standing
committees, after appointing Spoerry
commissioner of the poor:
Finance Newman, Welch, Gray.

Gray, Spoerry, Welch.

ling the streets.
The matter of printing was referred to
the committee on printing.
The stroet commissioner was directed
to see that repairs on sidewalks, ordered
Oct. 7, 1892, be made.
On motion of Gray, the rules wore sus
pended and the ordinance amending the
ordinance fixing license tax, was read a
second time by its title. This amend
ment originated with the old council,
and we believe was a favorite measure of
ex-councilman Phillips. It reduces the
rovenne from $4,800 to about $3,500 a
year, and places the main burdens upon
business deriving sustenance from out-of-town
people. The measure was refer
red to the committee on judiciary.
The various election bills, for clerks,
judges, etc. were allowed, and other bills
referred to appropriate committees.
Adjourned to April 21st.

DIED.
KKAUSE-At Alhion. Nebraska. Thursday,
April 13th. at 10 p. m., while on a visit to his
son Paul, G. H. Krause.
His health had been greatly impaired by la
grippe for about two j ears, and his weaknesses
increased nntil they culminated on Thursday
nijdit in his death.
Mr. Krause was born in Prussia in 13CJ, and
was consequently CI years old at th timo of his
death. In 1S53 he was married to Miss Anialie
Krueger, moving tho same year to Wisconsin.
In 1872 they moved to Platto county, Nebr.,
where they have erer since resided.
Mr. Krause was alwaj s a good citizen; thought
ful of the interests of others; industrions; ex
ceptionally tender-hearted, and had the true
christian spirit of bearing rather than inflicting
pain. His widow and four children survive, to
mourn the loss of a loving husband and father
(Jus It. Krause of Dell Kapids, S. D., Joseph
Kraute of Genoa, Paul Kranso of Albion, and
Miss Bertha Krause of this city. Besides rais
ing his family, Mr. Krause had, during his years
of strength, provided for his loved ones jet un
der his roof, a competency against the tlay of
trouble.
At Albion brief services were held by Itv. h
W. Pease, who read as the scripture les.-on the
fourteenth chapter of St. John, beginning "Let
not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God,
believe also in me. In my Father's houso are
many mansions: if it were not so, I would have
told j on. I go to prepare a placo for you."
All the sons, besides other relatives, accom
panied the remains to this city. Rev. J. B.
Leedom read a chapter of scripture, the ninetieth
psalm, and offered a prayer at tho Lite residence
in this city, after which the remains were con
veyed to their last resting place in the Columbus
cemetery.
The bereaved family have the heartfelt sympa
thy of this community in their affliction.
