In the write up of the celebration on the Fourth at Schuyler, D. F. Davis says in the News: "One of the greatest treats of the day was the performances by the Columbus band. The boys made a splendid appearance in their natty uniform, and their music was superb. It will be many a long day before the people of Schuyler will hear as good a band again, unless they send for the Co lumbus boys again.

Columbus people are enjoying a band concert by their local band boys every Wednesday evening. This is an enterprising venture and should be ap preciated by the citizens. Leigh World. Other towns could enjoy the same pleas ure probably, if they would contribute to the band by paying for the concerts, as do the Columbus business men, to an extent, that shows some appreciation of the time and expense that the band men give to the concerts, which are a grand, good thing. "" Rev. Monroe of Milford preached in the Congregational church Sunday morning and evening, and after the evening sermon the congregation ex tended him a call to become their pastor. He will take two weeks before giving his answer, and will preach here again next Sunday. Rev.

Some of the progressive farmers of Seward county procured a new variety of wheat from New York last fall, which promises to be the coming wheat for this country. They each procured only a small amount for a trial, aud it has done splendidly. Several samples of it have been exhibited in town. The head is very large and- well filled with fine, large white grains, and will certainly make a large yield. It will probably be kept for seed, and next season may see a good crop of it raised here. Seward Blade. At a recent meeting of the Lincoln school board, Mrs. E. W. Glidden of this city was among those recommended as reserve teachers, on the nomination of the superintendent. Since placing the foregoing in type, we learn that Mrs. E. W. Glidden has been elected to a posi tion in the primary schools at Lincoln, but has not accepted the place. Several weeks ago she was asked by the super intendent there to file an application and the election comes as a surprise to her, as she had made no effort to secure the school. The Central City Nonpareil has this to say of two Fourth of July novel ties: Two exhibition races were paced by the "Guideless Wonder," and the steady intelligent work of the horse completely captured the crowd. The magnificent animal paced two mile heats without driver or attendant, starting and stopping perfectly, and going the heats in 223 and 2:18 respectively. It was a splendid attraction and one that was greatly appreciated. No less so was the Roman standing race. L. L. Sherwood accomplished this difficult feat on two beautiful runners, riding both standing uva race against a single horse. This also was a splendid ex hibition race. S. P. Curtis passed his eighty-fifth birthday last Friday. He was born in the village of Swanville, Waldo county, Maine, on the 6th day of July, 1815. He remembers very distinctly the great me teoric shower which occurred in Novem ber, 1833, and which has been generally referred to as the "Stars Falling." He cast his first vote for Martin Van Buren in 1836, and was an ardent supporter of John C. Fremont in 1856. Should he live until November cnext he will have voted for sixteen presidential candi datesa record seldom attained and rarely beaten. Although far past the allotted three score and ten, he is in good health, walks without a cane and has good eyesight. His father lived to the ripe old age of 93. He received a number of presents from his friends. At Angnet Boettcher's farm eleven miles northeast of the city Sunday evening about 6 o'clock the barn was noticed on fire by Mr. and Mrs. Carl Evert, who live on the place, and who were returning from the meeting at Gottberg'a grove. The bara and all contents, was destroyed, such as about two tons of bay, several hundred bush els of oats, besides some harness, ma chinery, etc, perhaps 9500 in value so far as the barn is concerned as to the rest we have no further information. The windmill tower was on fire, but the flames there were easily subdued. We have since learned that the young dau ghter of Carl Evert, was the only one at home and she did not notice the fire until it was flaming out of the root The loss is bow pat at about $300 with S150 City The stated masting el the eity eoaacil was held last Friday evening, only two members, however, betas; present to answer to roll eaU, vis: Gray and Phil lipps. Councilman Lehman, Niewehasr and Lutz were known, to be in the city, bat were not present at the cennsfl f serisg. They donbttosi knew that the chief matter of interest at the ling would be the mayor'a veto; that Councilman Phillipps would not vote to pass the ordinance over Mayor Held's- veto; that Councilman Elliott wss absent; and that if they helped to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, on the proposition to pass the ordi nance, notwithstanding the mayor's veto, they would have a vote of only three in favor, whereas it should be four, and so the only seemingly availa ble practical thing for them to do was to stay away from the meeting, thus preventing a quorum for the transac tion of business. Anyhow, whatever motives these three men may have had; whatever informa tion they may have been working under, or whatever may be their intentions for the future touching this matter, they were not present at roll-call. Councilman Elliott, who is a dealer in real estate, it is understood was absent in Wheeler ooanty in the interest of his firm on a land deal. At 7:30 in the evening, Mayor Held had filed his veto to the now-famous ordinance. At near 9 o'clock we understand that the mayor called to order, but there not being a quorum, a wait was made until near 10 o'clock, the council adjourned. We give below a copy in full of Mayor Held's veto: Columbus, Nebb., July 6, 1900. To the Honorable Members of the City Council of the City, Gentlemen: I herewith return to you without my official signature the ordinance entitled "An Ordinance" opening and vacating certain tracts and alleys and parcels of land in said city, and granting certain privileges to the Union Pacific R. R. Company, and will briefly state my reasons for so doing: - First. The streets and alleys of the city are public highways adapted and established for the use and benefit of the public and cannot be given away or diverted from such uses and purposes for the convenience or private use of any person or corporation. Second. The city council has no right or authority to grant to the Union Pa cific Railroad Company, or any other person or corporation the exclusive right to permanently obstruct any street or any portion thereof to the deprivation of the right of the public therein. Third. The obvious effect of this or dinance, should the same become opera tive, would be to injure a very large number of property owners and busi ness men in certain portions of the city, thereby causing a great depreciation in the value of their property and injur iously affecting their business. Fourth. Said ordinance was passed or attempted to be passed in violation of law. Fifth. Said ordinance benefits in dividuals alone and grants special priv ileges to certain persons to the great detriment of a large class of our busi ness men and tax-payers, and is detri mental to the best interests of said city at present and in the future. Sixth. Said ordinance is the creature of the Union Pacific R. R. Company, was conceived and procured to be passed at the instance and in the special in terest of said company against the ex pressed will of a majority of our citizens formally declared. Seventh. Said ordinance has not been asked for by the citizens of Columbus, nor have they had an opportunity to be beard either in their approval or dis approval of the same. Respectfully submitted, Louis Held, Mayor. "la Gay Paris." Writing from Paris to his family Fred Stenger says that the exposition is finer yet than our exposition in Chicago. Such is the crowd of visitors in the great city that it is impossible at times to cross the wide boulevards without danger to life and limb. No one who has not been there, can form any idea of the excitement, the continuous move ment of people and vehicles that crowd the thoroughfares. Such is the contam inating influence of the Gay City that everybody seems on pleasure bent; the working man in his blouse, trudging to bis daily labor, radiates with joy, the rotund nurse girl with her white cap and short dress has a broader smile for her precious charge; the bon-vivant of Paris, than whom no one has a finer con ception of the material enjoyments of life, revels in an ecstacy of delight. Eleven days at the Exposition and taking in the sights of the city satisfied Fred, and wishing to get away from the artificialities of life, he starts on a trip to Switzerland, an the southern edge of Alsace within a mile or two of the little republic, in the city of St, Louis, he stops over Sunday; lest some of his friends might think that two weeks of the exciting life and various pleasures of Paris have dampened his religious fervor, he tells us that he went to church to hear the gospel expounded by a cousin of his. Indeed in this beautiful valley, surrounded by vine-clad hills, the gospel is still preached in its purity, "unadul terated by the heresies of prohibition ists, nnconaminated by the various vagaries of teetotalers." His last letters are dated from Bale and Lucerne and he is evidently enjoy ing the fine scenery and grand views to be seen from the lovely mountains which surround those cities. What a great sight to look down from one of these high mountains and see the lovely lakes whose shores are dotted with villages, the little steamers plying to and fro for the convenience of the sightseers, the rugged vegetation which covers the sides of the mountains, in the distance some glacier whose shiny surface, re flected by the bright rays of the sun, dazzles the eye and last though not least, the fine hotels for which this country is famous and whose owners vie with each other in ministering to the comforts and the wants of their guests. And, need we wonder that mortal man, surrounded by all that loveliness, en raptured by the wondrous beauties of natare, dreams of the realization of his destiny. ...THE PIONEER.. hasn't located all the desirable property we've some choice bite on one books far sale at prices that appeal to the peepleef The ftartil etotiflaa. wall wmtend mad ea handy to market and shipping points and at oar prices and terms are dssidedi pick-ape.

Democrat, hss this to ssy in response to the paragraph in last week's Jotmxax: "Yes, the Columbus thimble -riggers, with the aid of a few Granville hateful enemies pnt up such a rotten deal that even many of their friends feel ashamed of it. The one class played the church racket for all it was worth while the other stooped to a low and contempti- ,. ble personal hate. The will of the pec- i pie was not fully expressed. The tax payers of Platte county, regardless of party, want a county attorney who is competent. To this they are entitled as they have to foot the bill. Yes, we have been called upon by men of all par ties and urged to make the race and we shall do sons an Independent Democrat. It will not be a question of democrat against democrat, on party lines, but a square question as to competency or incompetency." latiet! I have appointed Mrs. A. J.
