Before McKinley was elected many of them were lying idle or working only half time. Cleveland Leader. More Than Funny. The last Telegram, in an article under the caption "Poor Old Columbus," in a covert way it is true, gives voice to a nameless correspondent, who predicts "that the Union Pacific company will abandon the idea of building a new freight depot at this point, enlarging their round-house, and other improve ments, which could not fail to result in hAnafitinir everv business man and resident in the city." Doubtless all concerned will endeavor to further their own particular interests, as they see them, the Union Pacific included. Each is in duty bound to defend its own in terests in all proper ways. In such friendly discussions or judicial con flicts, the proper results are more apt to be reached, but "Poor Old Columbus," as the Telegram in its effort to be funny calls our thriving little city, is evidenc ing commendable thoroughness in look ing after the general (everybody's) in terests in this matter of streets just now. If the same attention had been given years ago, corporations would not now be claiming title by time-limit occu pancy, or by trades and deals that ought never have been made, and probably never would have been made if the light of publicity had shone upon the proposed measures. Every injury-working act is accom plished in darkness, and "Poor Old Co lumbus" purposes at this stage to at least know what is going on, and act ac cordingly. national Hegro Party. The first steps looking to the organi zation of a national negro party were taken the other day at Philadelphia, Pa. A presidential ticket will be put into the field with negro candidates, and the country organized for the political bet terment of the condition of the race. The names mentioned for president were ex-Judge E. J. Walker of Boston, with P. B. S. Pinchback, ex-lieutenant gov ernor of Louisiana as vice-president, along with four other pairs of candi dates. The very fact of being organized for effective work against their enemies may result in securing to themselves their political and social rights, espe cially in communities and states where they should happen to have the balance of power. It does not appear a seemly spectacle this of a political party with a black face as a card of admission to its ranks, but if this color is to be forever regarded as a bar to progress, especially in portions of the country where once it was the badge of slavery and ignorance, and where now under freedom there are so many examples of high intellectual and business attainments by individuals of the race, it is no wonder that the judges and bishops and congressmen and great business men representatives of the race, should, through organization, seek to enforce their rights. We are paying each year to foreign ship owners more money than is collect ed at all our customhouses, and this fact strengthens the determination of Americans to not only make more of our commerce with foreign nations, but to make more of our ship-building in dustries, thus giving employment to more American people. xuiiiimMiiiimiiiiiHiiiiimiimmuirMi 1 IfobtttoifttI local.

Mrs. Rev. Hover attended a missionary meeting at Columbus Thursday. Rev. Neumarker held services at the Lutheran church on Shell creek Sunday afternoon. Joseph Bucher had three car-loads of corn shelled and loaded here last week, shipping it to his home in California. We hear of a farmer who wished to rent a farm this spring, on which weeds would not grow. He finally found one near Creston; now his corn will not grow. Mrs. Wm. Brocklesby entertained the Ladies' Aid society Wednesday after noon. The society have made aprons and sun-bonnets which they are selling rapidly. The children and grand children of Mr. and Mrs. John Keller gathered at their home Sunday to remind Mrs. Keller of her 48th birthday. Useful presents were left as tokens of love. Mr. and Mrs. Julius Egger had their infant son baptized Sunday, Rev. Neu marker officiating. The usual festivities were enjoyed by near friends in the af ternoon at their home north of Richland, We knew that our nose did not de ceive us, as other people's had not de ceived them. We are convinced, too that like causes produce like results. So that, notwithstanding what some men have said to us, we are confirmed in the opinion that large yards do occa sionally be off odor, to say the very least, Columbus being no exception to the general role1. The Schuyler Quill says: "When arrested by the maddening roar of a deep-toned, sullen odor stalk ing through streets, penetrating stone walls, and lacerating your sense of smell, you may know it does not come from the Knollin sheep ranch. The Quill editor drove out that way the other day and found that Manager Nye has cleaned the yards thoroughly. The ground is plowed and planted and is as free from odor as a garden spot. It cost the com pany just $1,009, but it is worth ten times that amount to the community. The work was done at the behest of Mr. Nye, whose efforts the citizens of 8chuy ley duly appreciate." ixxxsooe; The Bailroad Ordinance. The now noted ordinance, drafted by a Union Pacific attorney, introduced by Mr. Latz, and under a suspension of the rules (moved and seconded by Messrs. Lutz and Niewohner), and by a vote of Lehman, Lutz, Niewohner and Phillipps as against Gray, read a second time, we give in full below, for the benefit of our readers who are interested. It may be well to preserve it for future reference, remembering at the same time that it is well enough to give closer attention to public matters than is generally done. It is thought that the ordinance might have been passed at that meeting, but for the fact that councilman Elliott was absent because of sickness, and it was deemed wise all around to defer action: AN ORDINANCE. Vacating portions of Murray, Quincy, Rickly and Speice streets, all of the al leys in blocks 89 and 95, and tthat por tion of the alley in block 90 not hereto fore vacated by ordinance No. 55; also, opening Platte street from the north line of Eleventh street to the south line of Twelfth street, in the city of Colum bus, Nebraska; also to modify provi sions of ordinance No. 55 of the city of Columbus in relation to the location of Union Pacific Railroad company's station. Be it ordained by the mayor and council of the City of Columbus, Ne braska: Section 1. That all those parts, here inafter described, of the following named streets and alleys be and the same are hereby vacated:' Murray street from the north line of Twelfth street to a line parallel with and 210 feet north from the center line of the main track of the Union Pacific Railroad company; Rickly street and Speice street from the south line of Twelfth street to a line parallel with and 100 feet north from the center line of the main track of the Union Pa cific Railroad compauy; also, that part of said Speice street from the south line of Eleventh street to the north line ex tended of the alley of block 122, in said city, also the alleys in blocks Nob. 89 and 95 and that part of the alley in block No. 90 not heretofore vacated by ordinance No. 55 of said City of Colum bus, also Quincy street from the south line of Twelfth street to the south line of the right-of-way of thejUnion Pacific Railroad company. Section 2. That Platte street from the north line of Eleventh street to the south line of Twelfth street, be and the same is hereby opened to public use and travel. Provided the Union Pacific Railroad company consents to such opening without cost to the city. Section 3. Union Pacific Railroad company is hereby granted the right and privilege to locate and maintain its freight station at such point as it may select between "L" and "N" streets, not withstanding the provisions of ordin ance No. 55 of the City of Columbus. And the conditions of said ordinance No. 55, and the conveyance thereunder are hereby modified in respect to the location of the Union Pacific Railroad company station accordingly. Section 4. This ordinance shall tuke effect and be in force from and after its passage, approval and publication. It is understood at the time of writing this paragraph that the Union Pacific have thought best not to urge the pas sage of the above quoted ordinance, but that another has been drafted, with provisions more favorable to this city than the one here printed, but still not providing for the opening of M street. . We prefer not to make comment on an ordinance not already formulated and presented for the consideration of the council, but it is always a safe rule for a law-making power to refer so important a matter as this is to the city attorney and to a proper committee, so that what ever is done would be after deliberate consideration of all the city's interests. The Journal believes that railroad companies should be given no other or different privileges than are conceded to ordinary individuals. Sidewalks are for "foot-passengers," and are not to be obstructed by people whom the policemen are directed to have "move on," or by goods or truck that have no proper abiding place on the walk. The public highway or street is devo ted to the free passage of the traveling public, and unless the reasons are over whelmingly good ones for vacating a street clearly in the public interest, there should be no potato patches or private residences or railroad depots al lowed in them. Keep all streets in the business por tion of tho city open, free from obstruc tion of any kind. Weather Report. Review of the weather near Genoa for the month of May, 1900.

Cannibalism ended In his tribe, he says, when Bishop Selwyn converted his grandfather, but he tells some stories of It which have a dis tinctly humorous flavor. For Instance: It is said that once a chief captured a missionary who was anything but a toothsome morsel, as he was old and thin and looked as if his flesh would be tough. The missionary warned the chief that he would not mate a good dinner and, pulling up bis trousers, cut a slice off the calf of his leg and offered it to the chief. The chief tasted It, said he didn't like It and passed It to a subchlef. The sub tasted It, made a wry face and passed it on. The next man who took a bite of It spat it out. The missionary was released. After he had gone It was discovered that be wore a cork leg. The Fada ef Awthera. How novelists write will always be of interest to readers.

An Englishman of rank and mosey visited Chicago recently and with him came his private secretary, a young, fresh faced, Jolly fellow Just out of Oxford university. The secretary brought letters of introduction to a Chicago man from a well known Lon don actor and an equally prominent man of letters. The Englishman came -direct to Chicago, making no stop In New York. The secretary called upon the Chicago man to whom he had let ters and who did a little entertaining, inviting three city friends to meet the private secretary at luncheon at a not ed restaurant It was after the cigars were lighted that the conversation turned upon things American. The Chicagoans knew that the Britons were credited with believing that they could shoot buffaloes under the shade of the Audi torium and shoot grizzlies along the Shokle, but they were not quite pre pared for what was to come. The lit tle luncheon party had been waited upon by a coal black negro with crisp hair curled tight to his head. The sec retary throughout the repast had eyed the attendant with interest. When the waiter finally had left the room, the English guest turned to his host and said: "Mr. Nelson, it seems to me that 1 read somewhere that the American In dians had straight hah. The hair of the one who waited on us curls like astrakhan." Chicago Tribune. Harriet With a Baaap. The marriage customs of the Negulos are peculiar. The young man who seeks a bride first obtains the favor of her parents and then pursues her, catching her in his arms. She breaks loose and runs and does not yield until he has caught her several times. Final ly he leads her In triumph to her home. Here her father drags the youth up a ladder to her floor of their hut The mother drags up the maiden. They are then made to kneel, and the fa ther pours over them a cocoanut shell ful of water. He then bumps their heads together, and the ceremony is completed. Tbey spend their honey moon In the depths of the mountains and for five days and nights are lost to sight, after which they come back to everyday life. There is another marriage custom which is worth describing. Instead of the youth and maiden being dragged up the but ladder they are made to climb two saplings that grow near each other. Then an elder of the group grasps the saplings and draws them together until the heads of the young couple touch, with a kiss or a bump, according to the force used. This makes them man and wife. Forum. Taklas Uaahrase. A few Idlers (no very unusual thing) were lounging in front of the shop of the bailie of the burgh, among whom the laird espied the village Aesculapius, who was his political oracle, and thus addressed him: "How's a' wf ye the day, doctor? Ony political news?" "Nothing very particular," replied the doctor; "only it is said that the Dutch have taken umbrage at" Here the doctor got a touch on his shoul der from his shop boy, who acquaint ed him that a valuable patient was waiting for him, and he broke off abruptly from his political laird. "Ta'en Umbrage!" exclaimed the laird. "Mercy upon us! Hae they ta'en Umbrage? Bailie, ken ye if it's a wa'ed town or no?" "A wa'ed town!" said the bailie; "nae sic thing. It's a sugar island and ane o' the sweetest o' them. The article's up already, but ye shall hae a stane weight hame wl' ye at the auld price." CornhlU. Am Expeaaive Kalfe. An old man went into a cigar store where pocketknives are on sale. He had a fancy for one of the knives, but thought the price. 75 cents, too high. After a parley with the proprietor he concluded to wager 75 cents against the knife and play a game of poker. He lost the money and then that much again. He continued to lose until he lost $121, all the money he had, but the proprietor made him a present of the knife. In the afternoon he returned, saying he was dissatisfied with the knife. He had paid $121 for it, but would will ingly exchange it for a $1 article. The dealer kindly made the exchange, and the man went his way rejoicing. He had no money to trouble him, but he had a knife, and, after all, a knife is a good thing to have. Arizona Repub lican. Settllaa Dom.
