Mickel moves to Fullerton Wednesday, Bev. Yost coming to Colum bus from Cedar Rapids the same day. Mrs. King, mother of Mrs. Mickel, starts Thursday for Illinois to visit a few weeks. Tuesday of last week Harry Fon, a Jew, was arrested here on a telegram from North Platte, that he was wanted there for grand larceny. The sheriff of Lincoln county arrived later and took his T"ar Fred Schantre, whose casualty of a broken spine was mentioned in last week's JorBSAX. diedTueaday of last week at Si.

All ladies are invited to attend this meeting. j J. C. Morrissey of Lincoln, formerly of Columbus, was telling a Corumbusite in Lincoln a few days ago that no trace I of any kind had yet been secured of his son. who was taken prisoner in the Phil ippines last year. CoL Dale of the Times is inclined to be a little sarcastic with CoL Paschal of the Telegram, at least he tells him if he wishes -any amusement at any time, with the Times,' -we will be happy to accommodate him. Ernest Viner. living six miles south of town, just over the line in Platte county, died last Friday from diabetis. The deceased was about 30 years old and lived on one of the Stuart farms. Madison Chronicle. W. H. Campbell and family started Thursday for Oregon, where they go to live for Mr. Campbell's health. Recently he spent eight months in that country, his health being so much benefited that he concluded to move. See that good roads run in every direction from the city this is one of the ways to get the grain and stock mar kets; the other is to give good prices, which Columbus dealers have always done. Rush the bridge. Earl Pearsall. who has been visiting with his mother in California since his return from soldiering in the Philip pines, returned to the city Wednesday last. Mrs. Pearsall expects to stay in California during the winter. Rev. Jerome, O. F. M informs us that on Thursday, October 12. the dedi cation of the new Catholic church will take place at Platte Center. Ceremonies will commence at 10 o'clock, a. m. Ev erybody is respectfully invited to attend. Rev. Rogers will attend the state association of the Congregational church in Holdredge, and the state convention of the Y. M. C A in South Omaha this week. There will be no services in the church Sunday in Rev. Roger's absence. The new Catholic church will be dedicated in Platte Center Thursday. Father Marcelinus of this city will con duct the services, assisted by a number of other priests. A great many from Columbus and vicinity will be present. -A town without good roads to it. is likely to be as the roads," remarks the Dodzeville, Wisconsin, Chronicle, when giving an item about -claying" the sandy parts of a highway. Let us hurry the bridge while the weather is good. Dodge county has built and kept in repair for years two Platte river bridges, and is about to go into district court to endeavor to compel Saunders county to foot half the expenses. Saunders county people, for the most part, have used the bridges. Mrs. R. H. Henry is expected Lome today from Colorado, where she has been visiting her son Robert. -who is living on a ranch seven miles from any other hab itation and 12 miles from a post-office, and is happy, contented and enjoying good health. The citizens of Monroe, Loup and Lost Creek, of Platte county are agita ting the question of a bridge across the Loup at Monroe. Monroe will hold a town meeting on October 14 to secure the wishes of the voters on the subject. Genoa Leader. Bring us your sam ples of Omaha dry goods. Ctaparc aid wt will saft yaa iey. E. D. Fitzpatrick. Saturday last a farmer with his pipe set a pile of blankets afire, in front of Eisenman's store on Eleventh street Mr. E. was good enough to sell the blankets at cost, which he did to the crowd in a few minutes, the damage being slight to each blanket. Rev. Mailley, the fighting chaplain of the First Nebraska regiment, was in the city Monday on his way to Fuller ton where he delivered a speech. He went to Schuyler Tuesday where he made a speech. Columbus came near getting him. but on account of short notice, the appointment was cancelled. Married, this Tuesday evening at 6 o'clock at the residence of the bride, by Judge Robison. John H. Tylle and Miss Bertha Glur. After the ceremony, there will be a reception for the bappy young couple at the hall of the Orpheus so ciety. All the friends of the contracting parties will wish them joy in their life partnership. Before Frank Turner came home he wrote to his sister Mary that he was getting his mouth in shape for two dozen pumpkin pies. Mrs. S. P. Curtis. hearing of this, sent a contribution in Monday morning, that we know was all right, because we were favored with a piece of the pie, and it had all the old time qualities of the favorite. German Day. the anniversary of the first German immigration to America. October 6, 1683, was duly, celebrated at Maennerchor hall last Friday evening by song and speech and dance, a very enjoyable time being had. The Sons of Herman had arranged an interesting program of vocal and instrumental music, D. Schupbach and Bev. Naumar ker making speeches in German, and Carl Kramer a short speech in English. It seems there has been trouble and delay in getting piling for the Platte river bridge. It is claimed that the five men at work on the structure are using the material as fast as it can be furnish ed them. Let us have the bridge cros sing at the earliest practicable day, then, is as much as we fv say. Nobody is required to do impossibilities, but if it will be four, five, six or eight weeks yet before the bridge is completed, there may be trouble with water. The Platte Center Signal has the following to say of Mr. Patterson, a for mer printer on Tee Jottexai.: --After this week, G. L. Patterson will have charge of the Signal, John L. Clark hav ing resigned to go off to school. Mr. Patterson is a printer and newspaper man of many years experience and ? attend to your wants in his line in a prompt and satisfactory manner.

Miss Junia Aden, was born in Butler county. Nebraska, December 21, 1S80, and died near Rising City, Neb Sept. 21, 1S99. aged 13 years and 9 months. She was converted in childhood at her mother's knee. She was received on probation in the M. E. church, Jan. 6, "95, and into full membership Aug. 25 of the same year, by Rev. C H. Dalrym ple, and continued a member of the same till her death. Rising Indepen dent. The Columbus Planing Mill A. H.

Hardy to assist us a man well known for the thoroughness of his work in our line. 4t A. M. Jennings was in the city Wednesday to take an examination in application for a pension. Mr. Jennings was one of the faithful soldiers of the government during the contest of 1561-5, risking health. life and all for the per petuity of the Union and of our free institutions, and now, in his need, de serves the best that can legally be done for him. Within the past few months he has lost the sight of the right eye altogether, a serious matter at anv time of life. AUCTION. In order to raise eash quick, I will hold an auc tion sale October 16th. continuing for a few days, and sell to the highest bidder for eash my stock of Watches, Clocks, Jew elry, Silver-plated Ware, etc. Mr. T. L. Xulinix of Kansas City, will conduct the sale Oct. 16th. ED. J. XIEWOHNER. Jonas Hedman of the vicinity of Genoa was m the city Wednesday doing business at the court house. The Joce xai. acknowledges a very pleasant call from our old friend, one of Platte coun ty's substantial pioneers, having been a citizen since 1S57, and. by the way. a subscriber to The Jocexai. since its first issue of May 11. 1570. Long may he live! Mr. Hedman has always been a busy man. looking after his interests, and probably owns three as good little farms as are generally seen in the state, all under cood cultivation. For county judge, the republicans of Platte have nominated Ralph Pugsley of Monroe, one of the young men who enlisted as a private to defend his coun try's dac m 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 11 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 faithful. A vote for him will be well placed. We are glad to note that the Co lumbus City Band are to probably favor the city with a series of concerts during the winter, certainly the first one about the middle of November. The city have had experience during the summer of what the organization can do in the way of entertainment, and everybody will be pleased to know that these enjoyable occasions are to be continued to some extent, at least. The band will be assisted by the best of local talent, in various specialties, the proceeds to be devoted to the purchase of a uniform for the band. A city so large as Colum bus should never be without a good, stroag. band organisation such as Co lum now has. and which, under the lead cf E. C Hockenberger, has made such excellent progress in the rendition of hish-grade compositions. It seems as though Nebraska pa triots will never get through sounding the praises of the Nebraska soldiers who did such good service in the Philippines. A portion of resolutions passed by the republican convention of Richardson county, would be equally as appropriate for Platte: -Brave and heroic youth. They are a credit to themselves, their friends and their families, to our coun try, the nag and the nation. Their achievements are embalmed forever in history, song and story a beacon light and inspiration to millions yet unborn. They have proven by their valor, upon many a hard fought, bloody battlefield, beneath the burning skies of the tropics, under the leadership of the lamented Stotsenburg, that the martial spirit of the republic still lives as strong and virile as in the days of 1776. We are proud of them, proud of their achieve ments and proud of their records, and a grateful country will never forget th it owes them debt it can never repay. The first general, meeting of the Woman's Clab was held Saturday after noon with Miss Minnie Becker, a very good attendance being present. The meeting was presided over by the new president, Mrs. A. J. Baker, succeeding Mrs. Brindley, who has been a most suc cessful leader of the club the past two years. Boll call was responded to by telling bow their vacation was passed. Miss Pickerd of Ohio was present and announced bar iatentioa of giving in struction to classes is physical edaca tdon. ComiBnicationa ware read by the corresponding secretary, Mia Becker, among them, one from the secretary of the Federation of Clabs asking to have the pictures of the president and officers of oar club sent to the Omaha Bee, a special request from the Bee to the clubs throughout Nebraska in getting up a supplement for the illustrated edition of the Bee. The work of the different departments for the coming year was outlined by Mel Baker for the domestic Mrs. Geitzen for the literary, Mrs. Geer for the musical and Mias Martha Turner for the art. The literary department will study French history and literature and the art department will, study French art; the two departments wOl be an assistance to each other. The musical department continue the line of study they took up last year, the Der thie system. The domestic, economic and current events departments will continue as in last year's work. After an instrumental selection by Mrs. Geer and Mrs. Garlow the meeting adjourned to convene again next month. The Woman's Club is one of the most im portant societies of Columbus. The whole aim of the club is for the direct advancement of the home. The main work of the coming year will probably be centered on the advancement of the public library, which has been so suc cessfully started by the Woman's Club. The Columbus club rank third in the state, and the ladies are justly proud of the work they are doing. The newspapers of the city can tes tify to the fact that the people, especial ly the business people of the city are by no means indifferent to the situation with reference to the Platte river bridge, work for completing which seems to be "dragging its slow length along. Tee Jorss.il. hears all kinds of remarks made about the slowness of procedure, but only knows that all that is thus said seems to be too true. One man says the hammer with which the piles are at tempted to be driven, is so light that no good effective work is done, that is, a much heavier hammer would do very much better work, also quicker. An other suggests that if a bridge is to be had there so that farmers can get their grain and hogs to this market thi fall or early winter, a double force should be put to work driving the piles, after which the remainder of the work need not take so much time. We hear of farmers having to double teams coming this way, and we believe the situation is such that something very decisive ought to be done, and done quickly. We can not reasonably expect this weather to continue very much longer, or the river to stay at its present stage. Columbus business interests cannot afford to allow further dilly-dallying with the bridge. In the David City Press, we find the following concerning Miss Laura Ward, whose death at Lincoln Sept. 30. was spoken cf in last week's JorsxAX.: -The funeral services were held in David City at the residence of her father. Oct. 3d. at 230 p. m. A large circle of sympa thetic friends were present. The servi ces were conducted by her pastor. Rev. C. S. Harrison, who often visited her during her illness. He spoke words of encouragement and hope from 1st Cor. i-3, and endeavored to introduce the mourners to the God of all comfort. Miss Ward was a lovable, kind and sym pathetic young lady, and had won a host of friends: the tribntes of their affection poured in from every quarter. She was a christian from childhood and joined the church at an early age. De ceased was born in Illinois, and came to David City with her parents, several years ago. She was a devoted, faithful ana successful teacher who won the hearts of the children. She was loyal to her church and deeply interested in its welfare. Her life was a beautiful exposition of the Gospel of Christ and her great example was proof of the re ligion which she professed." Messrs. Abta Calto. wholesale grocers, are doing business in their new establishment on Thirteenth street. The addition was completed last month. so that they are now working oc their first month in the new building, and already it has been demonstrated to them that they are shortly to be crowded for room, just as they have been con tinually since they started in business eleven years ago on Eleventh street, where Giese now is. Then to the old blacksmith shop on Thirteenth. When, eight years ago, they built the two-story brick with cement basement, a building 22x90 feet, it was supposed they would not need any more room for increasing business, and in it they have transacted an immense and ever-increasing busi ness, perhaps doubling m volume the last two years. The new building is a little wider than the first one. the same dimensions otherwise, and yet the firm are evidently yet short of the space they could well utilize in their business. The buildings and lots alone are doubt less worth $12,000 to 215,000. and the business is certainly among the best in the city. 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 thorough ness of devotion to the public that characterized his service in the army fighting against the FiHppinos, 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 consdentioTisly.

Becher as candidate for clerk of the district court, was ac cepted, and Ernest C. Halm of Granville township selected to take the place. Mr. Halm is a business man well and favorably known over the county, is thoroughly competent in every way for the position named, and will make a vigorous campaign. Mr. Halm is a native of New York state, born in 1561, and has been a resident of Nebraska twenty-one years, coming here with his father, living on a farm in Boone county the first six years. He worked in this city for Oehlrich Bros, and for Wm. Becker, and for Mr. Basmussen and Mr. Hickok, both here and at Platte Center. He has been engaged in business at Humphrey the last four years. The nomination for one of the most im portant offices in the county came to him unsought on his part. Thoroughly competent and capable, it is conceded that he will make an excellent clerk of the court, fie will be an honor to his party in the discharge of the duties of th office.
