The building was begun in 1877; the classes were opened on November 4, 1878, and the school dedi t cated by Bishop O'Connor, November 17, 1878. The first building was what is now the central part of the building, and cost $7,000. In 1882, Sister Josepha and Sister Agnes came to the school and have helped through all these years to make it the success it is. These two have been here longer than any other sisters. The north part of the west wing was built in 1886, costing $3,500. In 1890, the south half was extended. The east addition was built in 1886, costing about $4,000. There are about 250 children enrolled at present, 38 of whom are regular boarders, some from Colorado, several from Wyoming and many places through out Nebraska, besides Columbus children.

Conductor Steve Overton authorizes a contradiction of the statement that he has quit the service of the Union Pacific, and that he contemplates removing to California.

No man, woman, boy or girl should for a moment think that because they have some pet filthineas, that there fore it is agreeable and welcome to others. "A word to the wise is'suffiVnent" Bixby of the Lincoln Journal, who was, before he went to the capital city, a newspaper proprietor in this burg, still retains unpleasant recollections of his journalistic career here not in a social but in a business way, doubtless. He says if any one wants an answer to the question What is hell? let him try pub lishing a newspaper in Columbus. The great poet-wit (for such this writer pro nounced him, long long before the world in general had an opportunity to recognize his work and worth through the colamna of a metropolitan paper) should remember that from the journal istic High School of Columbus, so to speak, he graduated into the journalistic State University at Lincoln, from which, as we lately learn, be is about to go to the greatest city of the west, to take a position on a paper of world-wide fame.

The concert Friday evening at the opera house, given by Prof. Trimmer, was well received, a well-filled house greeting the chorus. Prof. Trimmer has been here several weeks giving lessons and drilling a chorus of thirty voices on his two compositions, "Emanuel" and "As the Hart Pants." Mrs. Warren sang the soprano solos, doing great credit to herself, taking the very difficult parts with perfect ease. Mrs. Warren has a splendid voice, well cultivated, and is at her best in sacred music. Prof. Blom quist of Chicago sang the bass solos and with his rich voice pleased the audience. Hiss Lulu Schroeder, as accompanist on the piano, executed the difficult task with brilliant success. Several extra selections were given, Mrs. L. Jaeggi playing a composition of her own that she has recently had published. After she had finished, Dr. Clark, in behalf of the chorus, presented her with a bouquet of flowers. Mrs. Jaeggi was enthusias tically enchored, and then repeated her piece. This is the first sacred chorus concert ever given in Columbus and was well enjoyed by those who admire good music. Barely, except with professional musicians who have practiced long together, do we see so accurate chorus work, the many voices nicely blending and at a short distance audible as one. Prof. Trimmer has worked faithfully while in our city and if he should come back next summer to organize a Normal school, as he has contemplated, would have a much larger class, than he has conducted this year. By the way, a number of people have expressed the desire to hear the chorus later along at the opera house, when the people of Columbus can have an opportunity to show Prof. Trimmer their appreciation for the work he has done. It was not generally known before the concert what was being accomplished through his rare ability and tact. We would suggest that the entertainment be slated for some time in January. The walls of the new high school building are up, and it is now reckoned that it may be ready for use by the first of March at the farthest, as after the roof is on, the work can be v poshed for ward pretty rapidly. There has been a good deal of misgiving expressed by patrons of the schools and tax-payers concerning the strength of that part of the wall erected during the severely cold weather. Nobody seems to question the fact that warm weather is the best time of year to build brick houses, but it is claimed that now-a-days work of this land is going forward all the time in large cities, reference being particularly made to large buildings now being con structed by corporations in Omaha and South Omaha, and these people are sup posed to know to a certainty about such matters, and with such enormous outlays to be sure of the value of the work be ing done for them. The dominant thought in the common mind is that mortar fresh laid and soon frozen and then submitted to a thaw, has lost its adhesive power. The argument of the other folks is that while there ia no question but summer time is the best, all things considered it is not the only time. With this, as with all other things, man adapts his work to the conditions which modify safe operation As, in summer-time, the brick should be thoroughly soaked in water before laid, the moisture then going, in part at least, into the mortar, preventing it from too suddenly drying, and incorporates it solidly wiih the brick. In winter time the mortar box is provided with a me tallic bottom, so that a fire can be kept underneath, the mortar used while hot, and the brick laid dry, thus being in condition to reverse the summer method, and absorb moisture from the mortar, and dry it before freezing; and it is churned that if the mortar does not freeze within twenty-four hours after the wall ia laid, there is no need to fear the result. We have found a reluctance on the part of men who ought to know, to express a positive opinion as to the matter, perhaps because they do not know particulars in the present case. Thk Jouxhax. believes that the result will prove satisfactory to all concerned. res-Sale. A Sterling piano, highest grade, prac tically as good as new.
