publishing a paper at North Yamhill,
and doing very nicely.
Policeman Brandt arrested two men
Saturday wanted at Tilden (twenty miles
from Norfolk) for stealing watches, jew
elry, etc., from McDonald Bros. It was
little Jacob Trimpe who found a box
containing the valuables, near the coal
chute, and spoke of two men who, he
thought, had placed it there. The theft
was committed Dec. 4, and $50 reward
J offered for the conviction of the thieTee.from here.
There is the periodical complaint
again that one small place should have
so many names. The first railroad sta
tion east of Columbus on the U. P. is
called Benton, the post-office is Rich
land, and the town is Spitley it would
seem as though Uncle Sam, the U. P.
authorities and the proprietors of the
place ought to get together and give the
place just one only name.
Rudolph Wurdeman returned Sat
urday from Europe, where he had been
on a visit, but was called back shortly
after his arrival, by a cablegram inform
ing him of the serious illness of his
child. He started immediately, and re
turned as above stated. His child died
the Monday following; Mrs. Wurdeman,
who had been sick with the same dis
ease, typhoid fever, is reported as con
valescent. We learn that Mr. F. A. Colvin of
the Telegram has purchased a newspa
per, the Independent, at Randolph, Fre
mont county, Iowa, and that after Jan
uary 1st, Columbus will be deprived of
his services. He has served in an all
around capacity with the Telegram,
writer, reporter, compositor, etc., and
done his work satisfactorily. The com
munity to which he goes can well be
congratulated on the fact.
Rev. St. Clair braves the chilly winds
and preaches to a charge in Wayne
county A Polander giving the name
of Egnee Wojtkleux and claiming to be
from Columbus was found wandering
around in Fairview Monday and was
brought before the board of insanity and
pronounced insane. He is about twenty
two years of age and is completely daft.
The sheriff of Platte county has been
notified. Madison Reporter.
Policeman Brandt tells us that Wed
nesday night Mr. Stein sought his pro
tection from a crowd of about fifty men
who had a rope and were threatening to
hung him, on the supposition that he had
been acting the part of informer, and
furnishing U. P. detectives with the
names of those who had been taking coal
from the company. Brandt took him
away from the crowd and locked him up
in the city jail, where he proved to be
safe from tho fury of tho crowd.
Some time back a newspaper pub
lished in Illinois brought suit against
forty-three men who would not pay their
subscriptions, and obtained judgment in
each case for the full amount of the
claim. Twenty-eight made affidavit that
they owned no more property than the
law allowed them, thus preventing at
tachment. Then, under the supreme
court decision, they were arrested for
petty larceny and put under bonds of
S300 each. All but six gave bonds, but
the six went to jail. Imprint.
Harry L. Tostevin, representing the
Western Newspaper Union of Omaha,
was in tne city xnursuay. we gave a
laughable account of some of his recent
railroad rides in the southern part of the
state, on a train which, he said, was due
nowhere at any special time, and so the
conductor and brakeman had their guns
along, and stopped now and again to
hunt quail. The same train also stop
ped at the various towns long enough to
allow coal men to get off and canvass
with the dealers in black diamonds. It
was a thorough-going "accommodation"
train.
The ladies of Columbus who have
been attending the Delsman sale the
past week have made big wages. Goods
of all kinds went so cheap that a few
dollars secured a big lot of goods, and
in these hard times every dollar saved
is more than two dollars earned. Among
the regular attendants we notice Mrs.
Whitmoyer, Mrs. Speice, Mrs. Gerrard,
Mrs. Willard, Mrs. Brugger and many
others, who seem to know when they are
getting bargains. This week, from 10
till 4, the Rale will go on every day and
our citizens will secure many cheap
bargains.
The subject of irrigation is attract
ing unusual attention. At the Hutchin
son, (Kane.) Irrigation Convention, held
Nov. 23-24, there were more practical
irrigators in attendance than ever before
assembled at an irrigation convention in
the United States. The discussions were
all very practical and instructive. They
will be reproduced in full in the Decem
ber number of the Irrigation Farmer.
Every farmer in this country should have
a copy of tms paper, xt is tne only
paper that is devoted wholly to the sub
ject of irrigation farming. It costs only
S1.00 b year, and whether you expect to
irrigate or not you can not afford to be
without it. Send to the Irrigation
Farmer, Salina, Kansas, for a sample
copy and examine it for yourself.
It does look as though an irrigation
ditch, especially on a large scale, is not
to bo a success for Columbus or vicinity.
It was thought that the latest venture
would be a success, but now it seems
that, for some reason or other, those who
were favorable to entering into a con
tract for water to be furnished, have
concluded that they didn't want any
water, and so, no contracts, no ditch.
We. are told that farmer after farmer
along tho line would now demand 840
an acre for land, besides damages, and
only about 2,000 acres would be con
tracted for between Monroe and the line
of tho Sixth principal meridian west of
this city. This (Tuesday) morning,
with the ground all covered with snow,
and more of it seemingly almost ready
to fall, puts the thought of ditch water
just a little further off, but the right
thing to do seems to be to dig a ditch.
O. J. Vandyke of Grand Island,
state lecturer of the A. O. U. W., was in
the city Monday evening and delivered
an address to the members of Columbia
Lodge No. 2CS and others, giving some
very interesting facta with reference to
the order, dwelling paiticularly on what
is being done for destitute members in
the western part of the state to enable
them to keep up their assessments, to
provide them with food and clothing,
and otherwise to look after their in
terests. There are in the United States
and Canada 340,000 members of the
order and during the last year 826.30
was paid out for every second, day and
night, in benefits. Nebraska has state
jurisdiction, and with her 18,000 mem
bers it is estimated that 2,000 will need
assistance. Already 811,000 have been
raised for this purpose (not in enforced
assessments) but in free-will gifts
of the brethren to their fellows! To
this fund Columbia Lodge, with a mem
bership of forty, has contributed 825,
and so the good work goes on. Mr.
Vandyke went up the

Policeman Brandt has to stand the
brunt of the joke, but he declares that
the doctor made tho mistake, telling
him to quarantine the residence of
Thos. Flvnn. which he nroceeded to do.
He found Mrs. Flynn at home, nursing
a case of rheumatism, and was proceed- j
ing to tack up a scarlet fever card ac-
cording to the doctor's instructions,
when she very emphatically told him
the situation of affairs. Mr. Flynn, in
the meantime, had met some intimate
friends down town and before they
spoke he knew from their manner that
there was something amiss. They in
quired anxiously which one of his chil
dren was sick, but it was not long until
tho facts developed. Brandt reported
of course to tho city physician, who then
told him that he was to quarantine
Thomas Heating's place.
Detectives John A'izzard and John
Tobin of the U. P. force have been at
work here several days, and it is under
stood that they have unearthed a num
ber of cases of thievery that have attract
ed attention here lately. Ono of the
cases that came np incidentally was that
of the hog stealing from Merz tried bo
fore Justice Hudson last week. They
found about stolen coal, corn, hay, corn
stalks and all manner of stuff, but the
one case that was tried and the supposed
criminals not held, the detectives got
tired working on outside leads. One of
the cases we cannot refrain from men
tioning was whore a load of cornstalks
was stolen and the heavier of the two
men got into the middle of the load to
make it weigh heavier, and the load was
thus sold. The detectives have a large
booK full of what has been done here and
hereabouts, but they are tired for the
present, as to prosecutions.
The body of a man was found Thurs
day morning in the ditch along the rail
road about two miles west of Silver
Creek. In a pocket was found tho ad
dress, J. A. Couter, Fremont, Neb., Hotel
Davenport. It is supposed to be the
body of Harry Byers, a carriage painter.
Ho was in Fremont the day before and
claimed he had a brother-in-law at Cen
tral City and was going to beat his way
there on the fast mail. He was no doubt
beating his way on some train, fell off
and was killed. Since placing the fore
going in type, we notice the following
from the Silver Creek Times: '"Thomas
Antony says he was in Columbus Wed
nesday night and saw a man put off the
fast mail that answers the description of
the deceased. Says he talked with him
and he said he would jump Xo. 7, the
next train, for Central City where he
was going. From Anthony's more par
ticular description of the party he saw
in Columbus there can be little or no
doubt he was the man found dead. The
same man was probably seen in Silver
Creek on No. 7 on tho blind baggage by
J. J. Wanke and M. H. Jeffrey."
Rev. Dr. Samuel Goodale is one of
the most remarkable men of our city, for
we claim him, notwithstanding that he,
these latter years, sojourns here and
there he has doubtless lived longer in
this place than in any other. Last month
he attended at Brooklyn, New York, the
sixty-first anniversary meeting of a col
lege fraternity, the Psi Upsilon Club of
Union College, instituted by himself and
six others, three of whom yet survive,
besides himself. The Standard Union of
that city gives a lengthy account of the
last meeting of the club, and from it we
clip the part interesting to Columbus
readers:
"The house was handsomely decorated
with flowers and flags, including the
lately adopted Fraternity flag of the
club taken by the Peary Auxiliary Expe
dition to the Arctic last summer, and
after a social and informal hour, the
venerable founder was introduced by
President Fox to a company which close
ly filled the large parlors on the first
floor and overflowed in the halls and
upon the staircases. Dr. Goodale, whose
eye is not dimmed nor his natural force
abated, and on whose head is not a gray
hair in spite of his more than eighty
years, spoke for half an hour in clear,
firm tones, with a readiness, wit and
precision which would serve as an excel
lent model for any of the younger men in
the company. He told of the early days
of the Fraternity, of its present develop
ment and prospects, and added an
earnest plea for the proposed new chap
ters of the Universities of Wisconsin and
Chicago."

cellor Commander Shuraan, for instance,
selected Occidental as the meeting-place
for a score of lodges this evening, to ex
emplify unwritten work of the order,
and this is but one of many instances
showing the regard in which Occidental
is held. The K. P. is a noble order, and
when its principles are so inculcated
that they become an active force in tho
everyday living of its members, then
only can the real jewels be apparent,
for, after all, how far can men go in the
discovery of principles and ideas which
lead to the Highest, without loyalty by
use and in use to what they already
know? True it is that Pythians have
steadily held to the great practical doc
trine of life: "Prove all things; hold fast
that which is good."

County Superintendent Williams
has the following to say in the Albion
Argus:
"An almost universal demand is be
ing made by tho people of this state for
another Normal school. In fact there
seems to be a feeling prevalent that a
move will be made in this direction by
the next legislature. At present we
have but ono institution of this kind
Peru Normal, at Peru, Nebr., the south
ern part of the state. The growing
demand for trained teachers is apparent
to all, and should be given due consid
eration. Tho present Normal is doing a
good work. President Norton is one of
our leading educators. The school,
however, is almost inaccessible to the
many teachers of western Nebraska.
Hence the demand for another institu
tion of this kind."
We think Columbus is just the place
for the XormaL for many reasons. We
have railway service that is not surpass
ed by any city in the state, especially
from the north and west, the localities
from which the larger number of teach
ers would come. Columbus has not one
state building and with the proper
amount of work we ought to procure
this. Labor for a splendid public li
brary and the State Normal. The two
will go well together.
