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

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

day afternoon. Sunday morning she
came down stairs and told her folks she

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

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

contents, was destroyed, such as about
two tons of bay, several hundred bush

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

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.

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."

A WELCOME GUEST
Is Coming to Colusjbus, July
16, 1? and 1$.
THREE DATS OKI7!
He Comes to Help the
Suffering Public.
Many people of our town know Dr.
Terry by what he did for thcra on his
last visit to Columbus. We are sure
many more will welcome him on this,
his second visit. All persons who wear
spectacles, or have any trouble with
their eyes, should know the doctor per
sonally as he is an expert optician and
has had many years successful practice.
Quite a number of our people had their
eyes treated optically by Dr. Terry on
his last viBit here and all speak in high
est terms of his wonderful skill in fitting
glasses' and great relief afforded by
same, and we are sure from the many
inquiries we have received as to the date
of his next visit many more are anxious
ly awaiting his return.
Dr. Terry comes representing the well
known firm of Columbian Optical Co.,
manufacturing and wholesale opticians.
This firm is the largest of its kind in
the west; they are established in Dea
Moines, Iowa, Omaha, Neb., Kansas
City, Mo., Denver, Colo., and Salt Lake
City, Utah.
This is a double guarantee that the
doctors work is right as this firm posi
tively guarantees all work done by him.
This is what the Colombian Optical
Co. says for Dr. Terry:
"To the public: We consider oursel
ves fortunate in securing the services of
Dr. J. Will Terry, one of Chicago's best
Refractionists. For several years pre
vious to bis connection with us, he was
employed by oca of the largest Optical
institutions of Chicago as expert opti
cian. Knowing his ability as we do by
two years of expert work with us we
give a positive guarantee with his work.
Our Omaha house is located at 211 So.
Sixteenth street and we stand ready at
any time to correct errors made by him
should any occur.
Should yon have any trouble with
your eyes do cot miss this most excel
lent opportunity of having yonr eyes
examined and as examination and con
sultation are free there is no reason why
you should not consult the doctor.
A few symptoms of eye defects, head
ache, nervousness, eye ache, smart, burn
or water, intolerance of light, inflamma
tion of the lids, dizziness, styes on the
lids, blinking pain in eyeball, orbit, tem
ple or forehead, dark spots floating
before the eyes, pain in the back of
bead, cross-eyes, granulated lids, etc.
Physicians especially are invited to
call and investigate our system of cor
recting all errors of refraction, asthe
nopia and muscular insufficiency.
Seeing is believing. Coma and see.
Dr. Terry will be at our store July 16,
17 and 18, three days only. We invite
all suffering from weak or defective
eyes, to call and see the doctor. Con
sultation and examination free."
Yours truly,
