MRS. ANNA HTTRT) WARREN, daughter of R. G. Hurd, is one of Columbus
most talented irgars Mrs. Warren was born March 10th, 1873, in Went
worth, Cumberland Co, Nova Scotia, coming with -her parents to Columbos in
1578, where she has ever since -resided. When she was but five years old she
showed talent for the voice and has sung in public since she was old enough to
read.
In 1890 she was married to R. S. Warren of Lincoln, and after two years of
married life when one child, Robert, waft born to them, both husband and child
died.
Since then, Mrs. Warren has devoted her time to the cultivation of her voice.
She spent one term in the Grand Island college, at the same time singing in one
of the largest churches there. Then she took a two years' course at the Nebraska
Conservatory of Music, of which Prof. Clemmons Movius is principal instructor,
graduating in 1895. Through the year of 95 Mrs. Warren was soprano soloist in
the Pro. Cathedral of Lincoln. Since then she has remained at home, teaching
voice culture to a large class of pupils, and giving invaluable help to the Baptist
church as leader of the choir. She has been leader of the Cecilian Club and
active in the Ladies' Musical, and the city owes much to her in helping to lift the
standard of music to what it now is.
To show how Mrs. Warren is appreciated away from home, we quote the fol
lowing items: "Mrs. Warren has a sweet voice, highly cultivated, and her singing
goes to the heart as only that of talent and art can do. Her rendition of Scotia's
dear old ballad 'Anna Laurie and the 'Holy City, were particularly pleasing.
Elgin (Iowaj Echo. ''Her voice, though very strong, is sweet, and finds its way to
the strongest hearts, and causes the tenderest chords to vibrate. Cedar Rapids
(Iowa) Gazette. "The singing was excellent Mrs. Warren especially making a
great hit as a soprano soloist. She has sweet, melodious voice which at once
charms her hearers and makes them feel that they are in the presence of an adept
of music. Battle Creek (Nebr.; Exchange.

At the North Nebraska Methodist
conference that met in Omaha last week.
Rev. Mickel was appointed by Bishop
Warren to go to Fuilerton. The many
friends of Rev. Mickel will be sorry to
have him leave here, as his work of three
years in the city has been of great value
to the Methodist church, leaving the
congregation in better condition finan
cially and spiritually than it has ever
been before. Rev. J. P. Yost will be the
new pastor for the M E. church. Other
appointments of the bishop are: D. K.
Tindall presiding elder; E. B. King
Alda; H. L. Powers and D. W. McGreg
or, conference evangelists.
For county judge, the republicans
of Platte hare nominated Ralph Pugsley
of Monroe, one of the young men who
enlisted as a private to defend his coun
try's flag in the Philippines. He is a
young man of ability, well versed in the
principles of law, and will make a good
judge, if called to fill the important
duties of that office. He is son of W. O.
Pugsley of the western part of the coun
ty, raised on the farm, receiving the
common-school education of the neigh
borhood, and there is no reason why he
will not honor the office to which he may
be elected, being honest, capable and
faithf uL A vote for him will be well
placed.
Capt. Charles W.Jens, the repub
lican candidate for county clerk, is
gaining ground every day, and is likely
to continue doing so until the closing
hour of election. The same thoroagh
neas of devotion to the public that
characterized his service in the army
fighting against the Filippinos, will
doubtless be brought to bear in the
office of county clerk. Whatever the
law prescribes as his duty, that you will
find him doing, exactly as laid down
honestly serving his fellow-citizens, ac
cording to the laws as provided, doing
every duty conscientiously. He made
an excellent soldier; he will make an
able oaVisl; aad there is ao reason why
he shoald sot receive your vote.

near the ice-house of the company.
Mrs. Catharine Bear, an aged German
woman, a resident of zhis city for many
years, while going toward her home
from church, when passing near a ca-
boose, standing on the track, cars were
thrown against the other end of the
train, which was being made up, knock-
ing her down and mangling her horribly,
severing the lower limbs from the body
and causing almost instant death one
gasp of breath was all she was noticed
to take before death came to her relief,
Her home was on the street north of the

Xhe Agricultural .Experiment sta-t
tipn of the University of Nebraska have
sent out a circular on the fall army
worm, or grass worm, which is now
doing some damage in portions of the
state, the greatest being in Johnson
eounty, where many entire fields of al
falfa suffered the loss of all the third
cutting. Many beet fields were attack
ed, as were also those of corn, wheat.
oats aad cabbage, while pasture grasses
and blue-grass lawns were injured or
entirely destroyed. The object of the
bulletin ia to advise farmers to plow the
fields in which the fall army worm has
been observed as deeply as possible this
fall. In pasture fields, the disc can be
used to advantage, and in lawns, a
thorough going over with a long-toothed
rake is recommended. Boiling is often
practicable where no other means ran
tbe used. The worm has acquired the
name of alfalfa worm, because it prefers
alfalfa as food to any of the crops that
are commonly grown. It has been oo-
served to go tweatr rods around a wheat

Misfortune has again struck the
family of John C. Morrissey, many years
ago a resident of this city. latterly of
Lincoln. Their residence, at 341)2, P
street in that city was burned down
Saturday night, fire being discovered at
9:30. The family were absent at the
time. Very few of the household goods
were saved, and the building itaelf is al
most a total loss. The building was a
large one, two stories high and having a
large number of rooms. The building
was owned by some eastern party, and
it ia not known whether the household
goods had any insurance placed on
them. The building was situated in
the center of a field in which the hay
crop had been cut and shocked. A
strong wind blew the sparks from the
fire across the field and set fire to the
dry grass and hay cocks. The sparks
dew directly across the bam, but by
careful watching the bam was saved.
J. C. Morrissey is the father of young -Morrissey.
a member of the crew of the
Ybrktowu, recently captured by the
Filippinos. A number of the prisoners
who were captured at the same time-.
Morrisaey was missed, were turned over
to the American authorities in the Phil
ippines Saturday, but information re
ceived did not state whether young
Morrissey was with the prisoners turned
over. The many friends of the family
here will sincerely sympathize with
them in their troubles.
