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.

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. He made
an excellent soldier; he will make an
able official, and there is no reason why
he should not receive vour vote.

Ernest C. Halm.
At the meeting of the rapubhean cen
tral committee Saturday last, the decli
nation of Gas G. 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.
