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

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.

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.

Whereas, Death haa invaded the home
of our brother and sister, Wm. T. 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. Be it further
Resolved, That a copy of these resolu
tions be sent to brother and sister Wm.
T. Ernsf, and also furnished the several
papers of the city with request to publish.

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.
