Mr. von Bergen is a brother of the von Bergens of this city, and haa many friends in this neighbor hood who will wish him happini A large number of the school chil dren of the city were gathered together at the opera house Friday afternoon, and a musical and literary program held the audience for three and a half hours. We are not informed whether there is to be a continuance of the sessions, but it strikes us that if the schools were divid ed into four sections, with an assembly of one section each month, it would operate as a good stimulus to the chil dren, bat there are always many things to consider before striking out on an innovation. The next big event-of Columbus, which so many are already making their arangementa to attend, is the twenty sixth annual mask ball to be given by Pioneer Hook k Ladder company No. 1 on the evening of Washington's birthday, Feb. 22.

The Hookies have long since become noted for giving full satisfaction in every respect at their dances, and the eoeaiagoneweare sure will be fully up to any of their pisdeceaaors. ItatAef S.B Thursday morning last, at 6 o'clock, after an ailment lasting through the last six years, with severe suffering the last few weeks, & H. Henry passed to the spirit world. Saturday afternoon, fier. Weed of the Episcopal church conduoted the servi ces at the residence on Olive and Fif teenth streets, after which, the body waa taken in charge by the Masons, the Knights Templar forming the escort to the cemetery. In the procession were the Columbus Fire Department, Baker Post G. A.R, and the Masonic orders of the city, and friends and citizens in carriages. At the grave, the bsautiful and im pressive ceremonial of the Masons was pronounced by the Master of Lebanon Lodge No. 58, 0. J. Garlow. Mr. Henry was born in Schuyler county, New York, Msy 26, 1812; his parents moved to Dane county, Wiscon sin, where they lived until 1867. He enlisted, August, 1861. in Company B, Eleventh Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, and participated in many engagements. In February 64 he re-enlisted for three years in the same regiment, and served until September 1864, when he.waa com missioned Second Lieutenant in the Forty-Second Wisconsin Volunteer In fantry, but was soon promoted to First Lieutenant, serving till June 1865, when he was mustered out. He was married in Fitohbanr. Dane county, Wisconsin, February 22, 1870, to Miss Mary L. Adams, who wss born in the latter town. Besides his widow, he leaves three children, Walter B , Mary and Robert. Herbert died several years ago. The atricken family have heartfelt sympathy of friends in their affliction. His strug gle for health was as heroic as ever mor tal made. For most of the foregoing facts Tan Journal is indebted to the History of Nebraska. In 1867 Mr. Henry came to Omaha and was engaged in the implement business. In 1872 to Columbus, where he has since resided, engaged first in the grocery business and sale of implements, and having large interests in stock. He haa been county commissioner, mayor of the city, member of the board of education, president of the state board of agricul ture, vice-president of the Columbus State bank, and has held all the high offices in the Masonic orders of the oity, and two years ago was elected Grand High Priest for the state of Nebraska of the Royal Arch Masons. It is too early to write an adequate history of Mr. Henry's career, whioh we hope some of his intimate associates will soon undertake. He had been a soldier, a teacher, a merchant, a stockman, a thorough-going business man always; an ardent Mason during his manhodd years; a man of de cided views, clear-cut in his thinking; he admired men of strength, decision and staying qualities. He had no patience with sham or make-believe, and when he gave you his confidence, there wss no reserve about it, and no misgivings. Sometimes, yon might well believe that you were under trial for his good opinion, but when you deserved it, you were sure to get it, whether you bad aided with him, or opposed him; oftimes, we dare say, be cause you opposed him. Mr. Henry, in every situation, waa a man to be relied upon. The wolf hunt in Joliet township came off Wednesday. About 300 men and boys were in line taking in a terri tory of five miles square. In the final wind up several of the parties were hit with stray shots but none seriously. Two wolves were rounded up but escap ed without injury, except being badly scared. Quito a number of prairie chick ens and jack rabbits were shot. Mon roe Republican. The Colnmbus City Band concert Friday night at the opera house waa a decided success in every particular and a goodly sum of money was realized. The grade of music was higher than at the first concert, as a rule, which is as it should be, progress marking every line of human endeavor. "Comin' through the Rye," Burns' universal favorite, was very happily rendered by a quartette of ladies, Mrs. Garlow, Misses Martha Tur ner, Eula Rickly and Zura Morse. Miss Ethel Galley's rendition of "As the Dawn" was very enthusiastically receiv ed. Prof. J. V. Pospishel's clarionet solo "Romantic Variations," was a treat, and almost lifted the audience to their feet. One of the best pieces, and to our un trained ear one of the most satisfactory was "My Old Kentucky Home," solo for the baritone Martin Schilz, the har monies in whioh strike several chords untouched by any of the other pieces. The members of the band are certainly doing excellent work under the direction of Mr. E. C. Hockenberger. We under stand that the next concert will be given in about two months. Thursday afternoon the fire depart ment, were called to the premises on Tenth street, two doors east of the Grand Pacific hotel. E. M. Eisenman had been occupying the premises and was preparing to move. The carpet in some way got too near the stove pipe running through the second floor and caught fire. No special damage. An other call was on the department Mon day morning, at about 9:30 from the Second ward school house. It was known that the chimney waa on fire, and it was being pretty closely watched, but, notwithstanding, a spark set the roof on fire, and a call waa turned in. Thia was the first time Chief Brink and his men had had occasion to use the new exten sion ladder, but its usefulness waa read ily shown, when a mount of the men to the roof and to the exact location of the fire waa made in about one minute and a half. The shorter sections of the ex tension are provided at one end with solid, sharply-pointed hooks so that the ladder will hold its position on the roof, wherever placed. There ia nothing like having good tools to work with, and certainly Columbus firemen are to be commended, now, as always, for their efficiency. The damage to the school house was more by water than direetly by fire, and will necessitate some plas tering in the room presided over by. Miss Lynch aa teacher, on the west side, second story. The pupils were quietly and quickly dismissed, and there was no accident. When yon wish good, neat clean andsouM work done in the line of J printing, call at Taa JotravAXi oanca. enmral fttfttftv.

Ernst, and removed therefrom three of their dear children, Lottie May, Charles Albert and Verner Jacob, all within thirteen days, and they are taken to a brighter sphere than earth, where no more pain can afflict, or cause distress to their parents. Whereas, All three of the dear ones while in life here, were among the bright est of the family, and had so interwoven their loving lives with those of their par enta and brothers, this triple sorrow enlists our tenderest sympathy in thia distressing hour of mortal agony, and sad bereavement. Whereas, The Rebekaha were power less to give the aid that would have been cheerfully given but for the malignant character of the disease. We must bow to the bereavement that human skill found to be inevitable therefore be it Resolved, That aa we can but weep with those who are called to weep, under thia severe passing under the rod, wecsn but point them to the only consolation, that in thia mystery of God's kindness in removing these sinless children and tak ing them to himself: Tis the purest, fairest and best are taken to hia Paradise of eternal peace, herein is the compensa tion for the triple sorrow of our dear associates in the work of the Bebekaha of Vaahti lodge.

It has been a mooted question for a long while in Nebraska whether very much of the sandy land along the mar gins of streams and elsewhere can be utilized for the raising of tame grasses. Olaf Larsson believes he has something to offer that may provo valuablo to others. Time and again ho sowed the seed close to tho surface; put it in on the sod and so on, but always there would be something to prevent success, mostly a freeze-out. Finally, it occurred to him to put the seed about three inches deep, since which time he haa had good success, except in occasional spots, where the conditions were exceptional. It ia certainly worth trying, especially in the lighter, sandier Nebraska lands. 0.E.STEINBAUGH, Blackssaith aad WagOB-MakiagSfcop. HOUSE SHOEING A 8PECIALTY.
