Ole was in charge of the boat; his

he would pull out, just as Hans showed
up in the dim distance. Hans gesticu
lated wildly, and yelling at the top of his
voice for Ole to stop the. boat, ran as fast
as his breath would allow him, to reach
the wharf. Ole finally looked around,
not being able longer to pretend that he
didn't hear, the boat being now fifty feet

Paul Hagel .and F. N. Stevenson
entered into partnership February 1st,
and will conduct together the lines of
business that each has been managing
separately for years. The new firm will
buy and sell butter, eggs and produce;
also manufacture creamery butter and
conduct a general cold-storage business.
Paul Hagel's name has been a household
word in this region the past thirteen
years, and for eight years F. N. Steven
son's business career has been a straight
line. Both have commended themselves
to the business community by fair treat
ment and true business worth. The
office of the new firm is located at the
cold storage building, corner of Eleventh
and Olive Btreets.
Melchoir Jenny of the firm of Jenny
Bros., proprietors of the cheese factory
in Sherman township, tells us that the
firm have contracted with Felix Wolch
leger for a complete system of water
works to be erected on their premises.
The well will be dug and walled with
brick. A windmill will be used to put
the water into a reservoir on the hill
overlooking their premises. The water
will have a fall of 40 feet, and will be
conveyed by pipes, to their dwellings,
factory, barns, etc For every pair of
stalls for the cows there will be one iron
water tank, so that they can drink, when
they wish the water flowing automati
cally into the troughs when not fulL
The windmill tower, all steel, will be
forty feet high. With this arrangement
they think that in seasons when needed
they will have water enough to irrigate
their orchard.
L. Gerrard, Bpeaking of the addition
to our waterworks system, gives a sug
gestion worthy of consideration, which
is that the farther you go down for water
the less of alkali there is in it, and the
less the points would be clogged by it,
and as a consequence, the freer would be
the flow of water. He thinks his was the
first deep well (80 feet) in the city, and
he knows the water is free from alkali.
Any one can make an easy test of the
water commonly used from shallow wells,
by dashing it against glass and noticing
the effect or by looking into the family
tea-kettle after weeks of use, and notic
ing the deposit, which, of course, comes
from the water. The meshes of wire on
the- points are filled with this alkali in a
short time, and when a power pump is
used, the flow into the tubes through the
meshes is not sufficient for easy pump
ing. The proprietors of the packing
house found the same difficulty, precise
ly, that the city now finds. Mr. Gerrard
feels confident that by going down to
the depth mentioned we will have water
free from alkali, in abundant quantity,
and free flow through the meshes of the
points. We may add to this that Mr.
Segelke's well at the pop factory is 90
feet deep, and he says that water drawn
from it may stand in a tin bucket for a
week, and show no sediment or appear
cloudy at the end of that time.

Relief Work.
The relief committee had a meeting to
report progress, in the council chamber,
Thursday evening. All the ladies ap-
pointed to solicit were present, but one,
and prove they have taken a lively inter
est in finding the needy, who are not so
numerous as had been expected. The
First ward found five in real need, the
Second ward seven families were report
ed, and the Third ward only three. Be
sides these, there are some who need
help in the way of clothing. There are
several widows with large families, who
make their living by washing, who need
necessary clothing for their children
that they can be sent to school.
The ladies who solicited from the bus
iness men and their families found near
ly every one willing to help, and many
promised to do more if it was found
necessary. The cash collected was, from
the First ward, $30, Second ward, $78,
and the Third ward, S2o, making a total
of S133, and still there are many who
have not yet been called upon, and con
siderable clothing, tlour and other pro
visions have been donated.
Mrs. Herrick was elected treasurer and
Mrs. Meagher secretary of the committee.
The ladies ask through the paper, that
all who have clothing to spare, send
them to the store of F. W. Herrick,
where they will be properly disposed of.
Bedding and women's and children's
clothing are the most needed.
Among the worst cases found was that
of a mother and children living in a little
hut with no floor, and the children with
out shoes and stockings. In another the
bed was of straw with but a very thin
comfort over it. Several families are in
need of coal.
Those who are in real need of the
necessaries of life and especially those
who have had sickness in their families
should not hesitate to see the ladies of
the relief committee and make known
their condition.
Until a community is developed in
the art of advertising far enough to jus
tify, there is little use for a daily paper
of anything like decent pretensions to
seek a foothold there. Where 'the
field" is occupied by three or more
weeklies eking out a scant subsistence
and giving the community double value
for all they receive, it is foolishness to
start up a daily, unless, indeed, the pro
prietor knows that he has plenty of
money to do him for a while, with facil
ities and faculties entirely beyond his
contemporaries, so that he can over
shadow them, and absorb their business
from them. The gentleman whose agent
canvassed this city some months back
for subscribers, has been having some
experience at Seward. Ho concluded
not to start up in Columbus, but from
the following, which we clip from the
Reporter, we do not believe that he has
found fair sailing down there: "The
Daily Press has ceased to appear since
last Saturday, and the indications are
that it will not again shed light and
gladness over the hearts of the people of
Seward. Col. Mahaffey says, however,
that the suspension is only temporary,
and that his paper will soon blossom
forth again, in better style than before,
printed with type of his own, on a press
of his own, and in an office of his own.
Which leads to a very strong suspicion
that the fools are not all dead vet."
John Tannahill suggests that it
would be well if every post-office in Ne
braska could have on exhibition (enclos
ed in a glass case so that no seeds could
escape), a sample of the Russian thistle,
which is such a pest to the farmers of
Dakota, and becoming so to many farm
ers in the northern tier of counties in
Nebraska. If it gets the start of wheat
sown on the same ground, the grain has
no chance for its life at all, and he has
seen field after field of wheat choked out
by this weed. When dry, it bears some
resemblance to the tumble weed, but has
a different look when growing, the leaves
being larger, so that you cannot see the
ground through the bushy growth. It
commences to bloom early in the season
and keeps it up until late. John says
that in his travels he never saw it nearer
Columbus than Creighton, and north of
there, you will find it spreading along
the tracks of the railroads. The first
thing towards the destruction of the
pest is to make its appearance known to
every man, woman and child in the state,
and enjoin upon them the duty of des
troying it at once.
Columbus, Nebr., Feb. 10, 1894.
nsequence of the action of the
Clearing House and the banks' in
cities of the state of Nebraska, it
necessary for the banks of Co
lumbus to adopt some uniform course of
action in regard to exchange charges.
Therefore it was agreed at a meeting
of the banks of Columbus that on and
after February 20, 1594, the following
rate of exchange on all drafts issued by
said banks will be charged:
On each draft for 8100 or under, ten
(10) cents. On each draft for over 3100,
ten (10) cents for the first 3100, and five
(5) cents for each additional 8100 or
fractional part thereof. v

City CMseiL
The council met Tuesday evening of
last week on the call of Mayor Schup
bach, all present
The minutes of the previous meeting
were read.
Water Commissioner Schroeder then
read his report as to the extension of the
well system of the waterworks. His
estimate is that it would take $295 for
making the improvement
City Attorney Whitmoyers report was
then read as follows:
"In answer to your question in refer
ence to the ways and means of con
structing additional waterworks, will
say that the statute provides:
That all contracts for the erection or
construction of any such work or any
part thereof shall be let to the lowest
responsible bidder therefor upon not less
than twenty days public notice of the
terms and conditions upon which the
contract is to be let &e.
Such cityorvillage may borrow money
or issue bonds for the purpose not ex
ceeding ten per centum of the assessed
value of the taxable property of the city
according to the last preceding assess
ment thereof for the purchase, erection
or construction and maintenance of such
waterworks, ic.
That no such money shall be borrowed
on bonds issued, unless the same shall
have been authorized by a vote of the
majority of the electors of such city.
o moneys shall be expended for im-
tprovements, repair or extension of said
waterjtprks system except upon recom
mendationrjf the water commissioner."
There was considerable discussion of
the situation, which resulted in the
adoption of the following offered by
Gray:
"Resolved, That the question of raising
funds to make the proposed extension of
the city well system be referred to the
committee on finance, with instruction
to report at next meeting of the council."
One of the phases of the problem was
talked of, viz: that while the city had
voted the limit allowed by law for bond
ed indebtedness, the last being 86,000 in
aid of the power canal; if these bonds
were cancelled by the company, the city
would then be in a situation to ask the
82,000 bonds necessary for this work.
The council then adjourned to meet
Monday, Feb. 12th.
The council met Monday evening.
Present, Mayor Sehnpbach and Council
men Galley, Hoffman, Newman and
Spoerry.
Minutes of previous meeting read and
approved.
Communication from the Pastors'
Association in regard to the houses of
ill-fame was read, objecting to so-called
nominal fines, as virtnally a license of
such houses.
Councilman Spoerry" spoke on several
phases of the subject, suggesting that
the police might be asked to make a raid
upon these houses, and gather into the
arms of the law some of the males that
frequent these places.
Councilman Galley said that as he
understood it, the laws do not recognize
such places as having a legal existence
at all. It is the duty of the police to do
the best they can, which, he supposed, is
what they are doing.
The communication was unanimously
referred to the committee on police, who
recommended the prosecution of offend
ers against the ordinances whenever
sufficient proof is furnished. There was
no dissenting vote on the motion to
adopt the report, and the clerk was in

The moneys apportioned to the differ

No. of districts entitled to share, 74.
The lowest amount to any district is to
27, 332.74; the highest, 3888.10 to dis
trict 1. Districts 11 and 12 do not re
ceive any of the state apportionment
presumably because they have not com
plied with the provisions of the law.
It will be noticed from the above that
the receipts of the school fund from fines
and licenses is only 38.50. When it -is
considered that this sum represents ev
erything of its class outside of cities and
villages, the county is traly to be con
gratulated on the state of affairs. But
what a comuMBtary is this, by contrast,
on the towns and villages of the county,
where the school fund is'greatly indebt
ed to this species of revenue!

The Fullerton Post, in advocating
the voting of 320,000 in bonds for a new
court house, including a jail, has this
among its arguments: ''Without a jail
we are compelled to send all our pris
oners to Platte county, and every pris
oner that is sent there costs this county
32 per day, besides the expense of their
transportation and the fees and trans
portation of the officer who has them in
charge. We pay 50 cents per day for
their board and 81.50 per day jailor's
fees. In this matter we are informed
that the claims of Platte county against
Nance county the past year amount to
over 3500."
