W. Clark Iast Friday evening, by the young and middle aged people of the surround ing neighborhood, also quite a few from the city. In fact Mr. and Mrs. Clark thought a cyclone had struck their place, by the way the wagons and car riages began to rattle into their yard and the occupants take possession of the house and loading the dining-room table with bundles and packages which proved to be, farther on, something good for the inner man. including ice cream, and nearly enough to supply Coxey's army. After the usual greetings, a musical and literary program was carried out, in which A. W. Clark led off with a violin solo, accompanied on the organ by Clarence Clark; Miss Hattie Berger fur nished two songs; Miss Sarah Fitz patrick two numbers of instrumental music; Miss Herring a recitation and two violin solos; Miss Annie Lockhart. select reading; Miss Winnie Young two recitations; Miss Elliott, Miss Nellie Young, Miss Ruby Young, Miss Pearl Nichol. Miss Myrtle Clark, recitations; Miss Ettie Moore and Mrs. W. T. Ernst instrumental music. At about midnight refreshments were served, after which until 3 o'clock dancing was the order of the morning, all going home well pleased. The true friends of home govern ment have never been pleased with the Nebraska Township law, the like of which was never before known. Seem ingly it was designed by politicians to become odious and. in the near future perish out of sight, because of offensive features. There has been no limit to the amount of curses, loud and deep, that have been heaped upon the princi ple of township organization, when they properly belonged to a defective system inaugurated for the purpose of making the principle obnoxious. Those citizens who in other states lived for years under just systems of township organization, have known all along that our statutes could be greatly improved upon, and bring them somewhere near what other states east of us had been enjoying and thriving under. A convention has been called to meet in the senate chamber, Lincoln, May loth, to discuss much needed amendments to our laws. Platte, Holt, Cuming. York. Hall and Gage counties send committees, and seventeen out of the thirty counties of the state working under township organization," have signified their intention of being represented. Platte eonnty's contingent will be Supervisors Lisco and Kiernan, and Clerk Phillips. A local poet tries his hand thus at the situation: Whil I don't think th mayor Entirely out of siirfit, I'ti like to know Which in tht tail And which is the kite. Tht mayor nppwira To m-em to think In nnitr to make a fail That he will the body !, And the council the tail. If you would iil well In all kinds of weather. Make a strong pull And pull all toother, all for Columbus. The Jocrnal thinks that the inexpe rienced rhymester, while he is out of line altogether with his poetic feet, has occupied the solid platform of principle and stands there with both feet in the last expression of sentiment. Church Howe. Dep't Commander G. A. R., has issued general order in re gard to the observance of Memorial Day, also requesting all posts to attend divine services in a body the Sunday preceding. It is desired that every Union soldier, dead, be marked with the dag of the nation, and that the choicest dowers of spring, emblematic of loyalty and love, be strewn over their silent homes. The Woman's Relief Corps, Sons of Veterans, ladies of the Grand Army, pnblic schools, bnsiness men, traveling men and all patriotic organizations are earnestly and cordially invited to join in the memorial exercises. Saturday at her rooms Mrs. Page's music pupils of grades one. two and three had a very interesting class re cital, the following program being ren dered to an interested audience: Sunshiny llornina liurlitt Kennintfes Ltxrchhomn Lebert anil Stark Lano Ferd Stir:.

Rwnecke Miss Yaw, the phenomenal soprano, will appear before a Columbus audience Friday evening, May 4. at the opera house. The Norfolk papers speak in the highest terms of praise of the concert there given recently. She is undoubt edly the greatest ranced soprano the world has ever seen. The scientific ex planation of the tremendous altitndes she can reach is that her vocal cord can make 2048 vibrations each second. Re served seats 73c; gallery ."Oc. Among the district court proceed ings last week were that Enos Wright was found guilty of contempt of court and sentenced to ray a fine of S13; Wdliam Kirkland. a simdar offense, a fine of S2i; Anton Sakowski plead guilty of burglary and grand larceny and was sentenced to confinement at hard labor in the penitentiary for two years. He was charged with the crime at George Seheidel's place of business. Platte Center. Frank Hatton, editor of the Wash ington Post D. C.. for years editor of the Burlington l Iowa Hawkeye. and Mt Pleasant Journal, and before that local editor of the Cadiz (Ohio Republi can, has lately suffered a stroke of paral ysis. Although Mr. Hatton served with distinction as postmaster general nnder President Arthur, we, who knew him well, will prefer to remember him as the generous-hearted, genial Frank Hatton. Mayor Phillips appointed Charles Brandt special police, the next morning after his rejection as chief of police by the council. A conflict between the mayor and councd seems inevitable. To the ordinary citizen it looks as though four councilmen voting against the nomination was a sentiment entitled to such respect of the mayor as would in duce him to name a less objectionable man for their consideration.

The communication of N. H. Parks, publisher Telegram, as follows, was re ferred to the committee on printing: UI hereby respectfully request that the Telegram be made the official paper of the city of Columbus, and if so selected promise to do all necessary work faith fully and promptly." A communication from the chief of the fire department asking for a list of supplies was read and referred to the committee on fire. The communication from A. Heintz in regard to lighting the streets was re ferred to committee on streets and grades. Bids from C. & W. Whitaker and Mowry i Randall for sprinkling the streets were opened and read, and that of the Whitakers accepted at SS'30; the other was S9D0. A contract and bond were ordered prepared by the city attor ney, and the mayor directed to enter into contract on the part of the city. Certain sprinkling is to be done, when required by the chairman of the com mittee on streets and grades, outside the territory outlined. The lease for the council chamber was placed on file. John Bader filed a bond as herder, with A. Klug and John Stauffer as sure ties. The bond of Robert McCray as over seer of streets. $500, with C. A. Speice and A. Boettcher as sureties, was ap proved by the council. The bond of C. H. Davis, as water commissioner, with M. E. Beall and George Lehman as sureties was ap proved by the council. The lamp asked for by the fire de partment was furnished. A report from the ex-city treasurer, together with a report from the finance committee was presented and read, and on motion the same was accepted and placed on file. The following resolution, presented by Galley, chairman of the committee on waterworks, was offered and unani mously adopted: Whereas, It is essential for the city's interest that additional srrounds should be purchased to admit of the proper ex tension of the pnmpmg capacity of the waterworks system, and Whereas. It is proposed by the owner of lots .1 and 6 in block 121 in the city of Colnmbns to deed said lots to the city by a good and sufficient warrantv deed free from all incumbrance for a sum not I exceeding 3235. therefore be it Resolved. By the mayor and eonueil of the city of Columbus that said proposi tion be accepted and the lots above described purchased, and that the com mittee on waterworks be authorized to take the necessary steps tending to the securing of said lots and the payment of the purchase price therefor. The matter of the appointment of Charles Brandt as chief of police was then bronght up, and on roll-call Conn- cilmen Oehlrich and Welch voting aye and Councilman, Galley, Gray, Mnrdock and Wells voting nav. Communication Concerning School Jl.UterC Editor Jocrxat.: I appreciate the good intentions of onr new editor. Mr. Parks of the Telegram, in speaking so favorably as he does of the Columbus schools, but it would be safe to say that had he lived in Columbus longer he would not thus lavishly bestow so much praise upon our system and our super intendent I am aware of the fact that Columbus has many able teachers and that the public has very generonsly patronized the efforts of the teachers in giving en tertainments for the library fund, but I do not see tnat the credit shonld all be given to Mr. Scott It is a question in my mind, if that same money misrht not have been better invested, and more desirable books purchased than those selected. I think, too. that more of the money should be invested in books and apparatus for the lower grades, and not everything for the high school. Stating that Columbus schools are not sur passed anywhere, is more easy than prnviinj the fact to many of its old citi- ;ens. A citizen-. Te.ichei-H Institute.
