He found two coils of barb wire in his wagon, but drove home with them, and afterwards sold them to a man south of the river, but when in Justice Hud son's court he explained it as a joke, the justice thought differently, and assessed a fine of $5.

Be sure to inspect these pat terns before deciding on your next dress. THESE ARE THE ALWAYS RELIABLE STANDARD PATTERNS. 505 Eleventh St., COLUMBUS, NEBR. KftZxl 3&v The funeral of Herman L. Small took place here Saturday last the body being brought from Omaha, at which place Mr. Small died January 1. Funeral was from the residence of E. P. Ballou, services conducted by Bev. Monro. Mr. Small waa born at New Bedford, N. H., in 1853; served three years in the Sixth Vermont regiment; waa a lieutenant of one of the companies; moved to this city in 1872, living here thirteen years, and a portion of the time was employed in the Union Pacifio depot He was a member of the first band organization in Colum bus. Since leaving here his residence had been at Norfolk and Omaha. He leaves a widow, four daughters and one son. Father Marcellinus, who has been the priest for the Columbus Catholic church for the past six years, had word Sunday from authority above him, of his change from Columbus to Quincy, UK, where he will go next Thursday. Father Seraphim, who was pastor of this church some fifteen years ago, will again take the work here. The congregation are sorry to lose Father Marcellinus, as they have become greatly attached to him. He goes to his childhood home, where his parents are still living. Father Seraphim, we believe, comes here from Missouri. He will be remembered by many as the priest who was the builder of the first addition to the present church building.' The results attainable by irrigation are simply marvelous when applied to land in the Platte valley. Wm. Webster owns land near Monroe which last year was rented to B. S. Thurston, for one third the crop. One and a half acres of the tract of fifteen could not be reached by irrigation, and produced nothing to speak of; but that which was irrigated produced a crop of potatoes, which at 31.00 a bushel waa worth $1,500, the renter getting 11,000 and the owner of the land $500 for his share, the sea son's crop being worth $100 to the acre. These are the bare facta as given us by a reliable man, and they are sufficiently strong to set nearly anybody to thinking, and form a complete enough answer to the problem given in The Journal a few weeks ago. Mr. Charles 1. Haaierd. It is gratifying to know that the pub lic taste is once more inclined toward Shakespeare. Never in the history of the United States have the plays of the Bard of Avon been as popular as now. This popularity has brought into greater prominence than ever the few remaining stars of the classical drama who have nobly stood by the Shakespearean ship when the storms of farce comedy and howling melodrama threatened its des truction. Conspicuous among this faith ful band is Charles B. Hanford. Perhaps no other actor in America has scored as many successes in the legitimate field either individually or in conjunction with other well known stars. In fact Mr. Hanford may be said to be the link connecting the Shakespearean eras of the past and present in this country; for in the past his name was deemed worthy to be coupled with such illustrious actors as Edwin Booth, Larrence Bar rett and Thomas W. Keene, while several of the leading artists of the present day have shared stellar honors with Mr. Han ford. An honor which no living actor except Mr. Hanford in this country has enjoyed waa his appearance with Edwin Booth and Lawrence Barrett in a role equally as important as their own. This was his good fortune in the revival of "Julias Caesar," when he played Marc Antony with Booth as Brutus and Bar rett as the "lean and hungry" Cassias. Was there ever a more brilliant triumvi rate of stars than this! No jealousy ex isted in that famous combination and honors were evenly shared. It was Mr. Hanford's privilege also to appear with Edwin Booth when that eminent actor produced "The Tamirg of the Shrew." Mr. Hanford was' Mr. Booth's understudy and on several occa sions when the great tragedian was ill he played Petruchio to the entire satisfac tion of the audiences. These experien ces are of particular importance in view of the present revival by Messrs: Delcher and Brennan of "The Taming of the Shrew," in which Mr. Hanford will essay the role of Petruchio, thus fulfilling the prophecy of Edwin Booth who predicted for him a shining success in the char acter. Mr. Hanford, in Mr. Booth's esti mation, combined all the qualities neces sary for the many sided personality of Petruchio. His impersonation of the lover who tamed the shrewish Katherine is by no means a servile imitation of Booth's. Instead, it combines many of the best points of Booth's characteriza tion with much originality of conception. Not a few critics have asserted that Mr. Hanford's portrayal of Petruchio in the "Taming of the Shrew" is decidedly the best work he has performed during his long career. 3 : xuniiimKHiiiiiiiHuiiHiiiuitiirauiiiHMnii HENRY RAGATZ k COi New Store.

Stephens read a paper grading country schools before the meet ing of connty superintendents of Minne sota Friday. His reputation as the editor of the County Superintendent's Monthly and the author of Silas Cobb and the "Phelps Stories" had preceded him. He was enthusiastically received and his paper highly complimented. He had many invitations to appear before institutes next summer. So saya the Fremont Tribune. Purchase a copy of the book, not only because it is written by a Nebraskan, but because it is a very interesting story founded on facta, and gives an insight to the life of the ordi nary teacher and superintendent. The author is a Fremont man, and with the Hammond Bros., is publishing his own book with marked success. City Caaneil. The petition of W. A.

LAMB & CO. 3 The Woman's club have been greatly instrumental here in re-invenating the public library. Why not now turn their efforts toward securing an undoubted, permanent addition to what Columbaa now has in that line? . Fremont, our neighbor city about midway to Omaha, it seems; has secured a donation, of $15,000 from Mr. Carnegie, the only con dition being that the city council will 9UC0O tor the running Nich. Blasser has bought of J. A. Ernst the frame buildings south of his newer brick and frame business build ings, corner of Eleventh and North streets. The sign, readable yet after these many years, is "Greisen Bros." To the present lot it waa moved in the early 70's from Seventh street, where, just west of Capt. Spoerry's residence, it was occupied by W. B. Dale & Co. as a dry-goods store. The frame of the main part ia of cottonwood. The 'old build ings have been purchased by Mr. Blasser for $75, and will be torn down, taken to Gardner and used for the construction of a bam and granary on a quarter sec tion recently purchased there by Mr. Blasser, and on which no buildings have as yet been erected. Thus is the old being preserved for use, and the rich Nebraska soil, too valuable longer to be held as wild land, is being prepared for occupation by thrifty workers who will convert it into food-producing acres. In the winter of 1870, the writer dis carded his last stove-pipe hat, and pur chased a beaver cap in this store, imme diately after a blizzard of the 3-day kind during which he was housed at George Brown's hospitable dwelling on the bluffs, and has never since wondered at the irrepressible tendency of many Ne braakans to summarily dispose of the stove-pipe hat, on eight. It certainly was not useful in a blizzard. Like many far-down eastern notions and customs, it was not available to profitable use in theweet. "Taauar tf th Shrew." This great Shakesperian comedy is to be the first entertainment in the North Opera House, the main characters to be delineated by Charles Hanford and Miss Helen Grantly. "Mr. Hanford left untouched no op portunity to bring out every humorous situation to its full strength."
