It will be a good principle for every
voter to consider the government,
whether township, city, county, state or
national, a joint stock affair, and vote
and act accordingly. As it is, there are
entirely too many voters who imagine
they are nothing, and so amount to
nothing much, whereas if they would
consider their wish, their influence and
their vote as one among many possible
units, they would make their work ef
fective. It is reported on good authority that
Rev. F. M. Sisson, formerly pastor of
the Methodist church of this city, but
now serving the Hanscom Park Metho
dist church at Omaha, has been ap
pointed missionary to the Philippines,

but The Tribune is not informed bow

his family will accompany him. Fre

inches thick, and three feet high. The
monument is furnished by Kimball
Bros, of Lincoln, and the work is being
done under the supervision of their r
agent, C. F. Gleason. Mr. Stull of Lin

Charlie Williams of Grand Island,
deputy revenue collector, was in the
city Satarday, aa chipper as when his
hair was all black. Hereafter whenever
any documents or papers are found un
stamped, they can only be remedied by
sending in the document or papers with
the penalty and tax to the Collector of
Revenue at Omaha with a statement
from the parties executing the same,
giving facts attending their execution.
If the circumstances warrant it, the
penalty will be remitted; if not, it will
be held. Be sure that the law is coas
phed with when the documents are
passed, and thus avoid possible expense

Eleventh Street,
A Twister Visits Columbus.
The wind here Friday evening was
very threatening for a little while, blow
ing down branches of trees, but doing
no serious damage. A portion of the
emoke-pipe at the city waterworks was
blown down. The foregoing was written
and put into type early Saturday morn
ing, and later information makes a
modification necessary to conform
strictly to the facts. It would seem
that the wind, as with that which struck
the new school house some days ago,
was from the southwest, and was in the
nature of a strong driver, if not some
thing of a twister, in the western part
of the city. A sidewalk on Eleventh
street abutting the vacant lot west of
Hagel 4 Stevenson's Cold Storage, was
lifted and piled up in the street.
Numerous trees had tops broken or
branches blown down. At Andrew
DusselTs, the big cottonwoods swayed
down almost to the ground. At George
Loehbangh's, a tree as big as a man's
body was pulled up by the roots. Mr.
Johnson of Duncan tells us that he saw
one tree about eight inches in diameter
in Lisco'a grove broke down, and the
old landmark near the south end of the
Loup bridge that has been exposed to
the weather, by its roots for many years,
couldn't stand upright any longer and is
flat. Trees here and there through the
city, lost tops and branches, but the
greatest damage, estimated all the way
from $50 to 3125, was done at the city
waterworks. Speaking to Clinton C.
Gray, chairman of the waterworks com
soittoa of the city council, ha said tha

first information ho had was - when he
was about retiring for the night, he
heard some one running on the side
walk, and very shortly thereafter some
one came to his door and yelled:
Mr. Gray! Mr. Graj! Come right away to
the waterworks.
It was Mr. Berger. Louis HId. AI.
Armstrong, Mr. Dussell with engineer
Burrell and his helper Mr. Berger,
worked till midnight to get matters in
shape against emergency of fire. A
force of men have been since at work
and will probably have the premises
much as usual by this, Monday evening.
The smoke-stack which was blown down
was sixty feet high, twenty-seven inches
in diameter, made of No. 8 steel, with
quarter angle irons, and anchored with
new guys made of heavy 7-strand wire
rope, which stood the strain all right.
One of the anchor posts, however, was
snapped off, the one at the southwest,
and the tall pipe lifted, and was cast off
toward the northeast; the lower part of
the stack where it was joined to the
boiler, called the breeching, was thrown
to the floor in front of the boilers. John
Burrell had been standing right there
about ten minutes before that moment,
and aa the thing weighs about a thous-
and pounds, it was doubtless fortunate
for him that he concluded to retire
when he did about 9-30.
