His graphic de scription of Nance county politicians was very entertaining to his listeners. E. P. Rogers of the Union Pacific force and living at Genoa, was married Thursday to Miss Lizzie Outhwaite of Cedar Rapids. They passed through the city Thursday on their way to Omaha. Wednesday evening last quite a number of "Pudy" Brodfuehrer's little playmates surprised him by taking pos session of his parents' home, and all enjoyed a season of innocent amusement. We understand that the younger young ladies of the city are making preparations for a grand leap-year party to be given, we suppose, sometime before the closing of the year 1896, the last leap year until 1904. G. M. Thompson waa in the city Sat urday on his way to his home at St. Edward. He had been at Omaha daring the summer, and had evidently improved the time in the study and practice of his special lines of work. Hank Jolls, the jolly U. P. fireman on this branch, took a layoff the fore part of this week and got Baarried at Colum bus to his best girl. Hank hat been a faithful employe of the U.

How Shall the Child be Taught? The series of articles on The Problem of Elementary Education, by Dr. J. M. Rice, which has been in process of prep aration for nearly two years will begin in the December number of The Forum. These articles are based on special tests undertaken with more than 100,000 chil dren, and represent an entirely new de parture in the field of pedagogical study. C. D. Murphy, a prominent business man and banker of Humphrey, died at his home Friday, after an illness of several years. He had lived in Platte county several years and is well known to many of our readers. He took a lively interest in all things touching the business or general interests of his vi cinity. The funeral took place Monday, L Sibbernsen and J. M. Gondring of this city being in attendance. Smaller cities than Detroit and New York would doubtless find it profitable to encourage the farming of vacant lots and tracts of land within their corporate limits. We believe that Columbus and other Nebraska cities and towns ought to take up with this method of self support for those who own no land of their own and no ready way of help ing themselves. It will pay as an in vestment on the part of public authori ties. The Leora Lane Dramatic Company played a three-nights' engagement at the opera house last week at popular prices, and those who attended speak very favorably of their acting. At the con clusion of the play Saturday night the management announced that the com pany would appear at the same house in a return engagement commencing Mon day next, evidently being well pleased with the patronage bestowed by Colum bus citizens. All you people who pooh-pooh the chicken business, just think. It is esti mated that there are 400,000,000 fowls in the United States, which, if valued at twenty-five cents apiece, would be worth 8100,000,000. The egg product is said to be 1,200,000,000 dozen, netting $150,000, 000 or 150 per cent profit above all ex pense. It will pay farmers to look after the comfort and general welfare of the chickens, if, considering the neglect that they now receive, they yet yield such a great profit. The Orpheus singing society re ceived the new instruments for their orchestra Monday. They are a fine set and will be pnt into use at once.

Miss Carrie Parks gave a party to the senior class Monday evening, Novem ber 16, at the residence of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. N. H. Parks, on West Thirteenth street. Games were played after which refreshments were served. The class is composed of eleven members as follows: Misses Mettie Hensley, Jeannie Wilson, Angie Early, Jennie Saffran, Winnie Young and Carrie Parks and Messrs. George Wilson, Fred Rollin, David Martyn, August Wagner and Benj. Davis. Telegram. Prof. J. P. McFann, director of the Monroe band of Monroe, Swiss-American of Duncan and Farmers Boys' band of Shell Creek, with his family removed to Columbus one day last week, in order to be more conveniently located for his different musical organizations. Mr. McFann has had considerable success instructing new bands, and why would it not be a good thing for Columbus young men to organize at this time? There is plenty of talent here to make a good band, if all the elements available could be brought together. On last Thursday a houseful of peo ple gathered at the residence of C. W. Talbitzer and surprised him. It being the evening before his birthday. Mr. Talbitzer was the recipient of a large rocking chair. The presentation was made by Hon. Geo. Smith, in a few appropriate words. Mr. Talbitzer accept ed the honor and the present in his usual happy vein. Refreshments were served, and the party dispersed before midnight. It was a very pleasant affair and while it showed the esteem of his neighbors for Mr. Talbitzer, it also reflected credit upon the neighbors. Monroe Looking Glass. A business man of this city received a personal letter last week from a dealer in Burlington, Iowa, who is worth his million and a half dollars, who says that they have taken in more $5 and $10 gold pieces since the election than for a year previous. This is an undoubted evi dence that people think the situation is better, and while booming good times cannot be calculated upon striking the whole country at once, we will all feel the lift in business. Let everybody who has confidence in the foundations of prosperity, evidence it by word and deed, and it will not be long until we shall partially forget the three years of dull business behind na. AOsssOaJL Saturday night at 10 o'clock the fire slams were given and soon the depart ment were at head at the rear of 8. C A a a Gray's hardware store, a fire having started in the southeast comer of the tut shop. . As the fire-pot had not been in use after three o'clock, and it waa kept in that part of the room where the fire evidently started, it is difficult to con jecture how the fire originated. The heat must have been intense as it rose from the work-benches, where the fire started, climbed to the ceiling and along it to the front of the long building, cracking the heavy plat glass of the front, and melting the solder off some bird-cages hanging near the front. If the elevator shaft had been open, or the stairway leading into the second story, probably the combustible part of the building and contents could not have been saved. As it was, it is thought that if there had been but a minute greater delay than there waa in getting the hose in shape, the loss would have been complete. But windows at the rear end in both stories were broken in and water forced through the hose soon pounded the life out of the flames. Night-policeman Rossi ter was the first to see the fire. The damage is variously estimated at from $1,000 to $1,500, but the exact sum cannot probably be approximated closely until an invoice is taken. Becher, Jaeggi A Co.s adjusters Tues day morning assessed the damage to the building at $478 which was paid. An other company carries the risk on stock. Saaerviser Elect. In addition to the town officers elect, given in today's Journal in another place, we place here the result of the election as per the official canvass on supervisors. District No. 1 D. A.

While cleaning a quail the other night, one of the victims of our hunt spoken of elsewhere, we found the craw and stomach filled with weed seeds, but there was no grains of corn or other cereals. We're more of the opinion now than ever that farmers should protect the quails, in spite of the fact that they are the nicest game bird we hunters can find. In the one quail we examined there was a good handful of weed seeds and some of the seeds was blackhart seeds, one of the hardest weeds farmers have to contend with. There was lots of foxtail seed also, another very bad pest that bothers the farmers. The hunter should examine the craws of what they shoot in the bird line and see what it contains. The quail is the greatest friend the farmer has and he should see that they are not killed promiscuously. The foregoing from the Howell's Jour nal is a testimony of the usefulness of the bird creation not generally recog nized, and it is just such facts as these that become valuable suggestions to all of us. The birds are of more use than simply as songsters.

Nicholson of the Nebraska State Uni versity has had inquiries from four diff erent parties concerning the prospect and outlook for the establishment of sugar manufactories in this state. This fact shows the general interest of people with means in this question. They are looking for favorable fields and turn first to Nebraska. Among those inquiring was a wealthy man from Japan, who was quite favorably impressed with the out look in this state. Liaeoln Journal. FUM9AL.

Mrs. Will Phillips and two children, of Lincoln, came up Wednesday to visit the family of M. K. Turner, also rela tives in Cedar Rapids. The Old Ceaatry. From a letter dated at Colmar, Ger many, November 11, by Albert Stenger we quote: Favorable weather enabled us to cross the ocean in eight days, and on our arrival at Havre, Sunday noon, a driz zling rain made landing somewhat un comfortable and kept up its work for several hours. When near the city of Rouen we found the Seine overflowing its banks and the country flooded for miles; thousands of acres of wheat will be destroyed by the water and some buildings will suffer to a considerable extent. Before we reached the city of Paris therein ceased and gave ue an opportunity to enjoy our short stay in the beautiful capital. Street cars are the exception and not the rule here, and we resort to the inevitable voiture or cab to take us from the gare St Lazare to the gare de C'Est. The crowds that you meet in these magnificent railway stations may not indicate good times, but they are certainly beautiful to be hold, enlivened as they are by gay throngs of merry people and lighted up by innumerable lights almost equal to old Sol himself in briliancy. A good meal at a restaurant Dewal satisfies the inner man, and the waiter girl with the inevitable white cap worn a la Parisienne adds a little interest to the occasion; custom has made it law in this oity to give the waiter a small fee, and when the receipt of a few sous were acknowledged with a polite, mera bien, Monsieur, we felt not robbed to a great extent. Paris by lamplight is an attrac tive sight and we felt tempted to linger there awhile, but duty before pleasure is a good saying and we take the first train that goes out at 8:25 p. m. and reach our destination next morning. Rain again has been falling for several hours, the ground looks soggy and wet, water is seen standing in many places and the first thing beard is a general complaint about the superabundant moisture. We visit headquarters and find that with the aid of the old family doctor, "the governor" has triumphed over dis ease and is recuperating with a rapidity that would be remarkable even for a much younger man. The potatoes have been drowned out in some places and in others farmers are compelled to dig them out of the mud. Fall work has been much delayed by incessant rains and the beets are hauled in with all possible haste for fear of severe weather. So far it has been very mild; I picked ripe strawberries today, growing along the banks of the old orees; x met a young gin coming in from the country carrying a rose about to bloom and some beautiful nansies grown in the open air. People here are very much interested in our last presidential election and so far every man I have met, that is friend ly to the United States, feels elated over the election of McKinley, although he is somewhat afraid on account of his famous bill. We first got the election news on Saturday, when the pilot came aboard, and there was general rejoicing and lusty hurrahs (or the next Ameri can president. Vive McKinley and the grand old party. Respectfully, Albert Stenger. Yoaag Aateriea. The following letter was written by a Chicago boy six years old to a friend in this city. The handwriting is very neat and easy to read, showing that somehow the young lad has learned one of the great essentials of a good education. We ask the compositor to put the letter in type just as it is in the original. Be sides other things, it reveals to us the fact that in places besides Columbus and Platte county, the very youngest tots took an interest in the last campaign: "Dear Mrs. I want to right a letter to you cause Mamma has no time. Why did you not vote for Mckinley. Nebraska is no good, cause it went for brine. How are you Folks we are all well. I want to come to Nebraska and see yon. Mabel has the chicken pox. I had the chicken pox too weeks ago and now I am well. Melvile will be three years old Friday,' and we are invit ed to his party. Hoping to hear frame you soon. Lovingly tour boy."

BECHER im 7 Farm Loans, And Insurance., COLUMBUS, Blair Pilot: Banker Riz says that he gets more or less blame from customers who do not understand the state law which compels him to have all overdue notes either paid or renewed inside of sixty days. Tbo bank examiner, who has a bad habit of calling once a month without sending word in advance, insists that the law must be obeyed without fear or favor. Fremont Tribune 17th: The cold Bnap of last week spoiled one hundred and ten acres of sugar beets for Dodge county growers. It was at first thought that the frost would not hurt the crop, but it proved much heavier than supposed. An examination today showed that all the beets still in the ground were a total loss. When the beets were pulled they appeared to be all right, but when sliced open they had turned black and in some cases were rotting. This will be quite a loss to the growers. Madison Reporter: Art Woodruff was arrested and placed in the county jail by Sheriff Clements last Friday on the charge of assault with intent to do bod ily injury, preferred by a farmer named Bovee, who lives about two miles north of town. It appears that Woodruff, with several others was hunting on a piece of land of which Bovee had charge. Bovee objected to the party hunting on the land and ordered them off, drawing a gun, so Woodruff alleges, to enforce his demand. Woodruff then struck Bovee on the head several times, cutting him quite severely. The trial is set for next Monday. Cearfort to CaJiferala.
