C. W. Craighead, of Iowa, the "Pil
grim" printer, editor and prospector,
dropped into Columbus Thursday even
ing last on his way west to again engage
in the fascinating and exciting insnh
for theprecibus metals in the mountains
of Colorado during the summer months.
He has several claims located in that
state and lives in the hope that some
time in the near future he will make a
rich "strike," and then retire to live on
the interest of his wealth. The "Pil
grim" tells many interesting stories of
the lives of the mountaineers, snow
slides, etc., which if put in book form
would make very interesting reading; as
he has spent much time in that section
and thoroughly understands all the
details.
Mrs. F. M. Hall of Lincoln gave two
lectures last Wednesday, afternoon and
evening, for the Woman's dub. In the

the personal value the ladies could
receive from one another. She also out
lined a course of study in art, practical
for study of home decoration, and
advancement of artistic taste. Mrs. Hall
is an inspiringtalkerand her enthusiasm
gams immediate attention from her list
eners. In the afternoon aad evening
talks in the opera house stereopticon
pictures were used to illustrate her
lecture. Mrs. Hall is a Nebraska woman
and is proud of the fact that she is the
first white woman born in this state.
