believe their new building which will be
built soon on Thirteenth street between

the selection be made by the government
it will probably be done in a few weeks

younger brother in the Philippines: "M.
J. Sturek of Columbus, Neb., died early

from the effects of injuries received by
being run over by a freight train near
Minden, and an amputation of one arm
at the shoulder, performed later in this
city. Sturek has been working in a gang
on the Chicago, Bock Island k Pacific
near Minden. He boarded a freight
train Saturday, about noon, intending to
come to Council Bluffs. It is stated he
was discovered by a brakeman a short
distance from Minden, riding on the
bumpera between two cars. The brake
man ordered him to jump off, and when
he failed to do so pushed him off, it ie
charged, just as the train was crossing a
email bridge, Sturek fell with one arm
across the rails, and it was badly mang
led. He was brought to this city several
hours later and hie arm amputated about
So'clock. He did not rally well from the
operation. He was 24 years old, and one
of hie brothers, Peter Sturek, lives on
North Twenty-eighth street, Omaha.

"Do you know why carnations have
fallen about 40 per cent in price in the
last year or so?" asks a florist quoted by
the Philadelphia Record. "It isn't be
cause they are less popular they are
more popular than they ever were but
it is all on account of a little wire
machine, recently invented, that costs
about three and a half cents. This
machine may be described as an auto
matic tree box of steel wire. It is a
couple of feet high, and stands upon
three legs. As soon as a carnation be
gins to grow it is slipped within the
machine, and thereafterwards it remains
upright, for there is a series of rings that
take hold of it and guide it in ita growth.
Before the invention of this device the
majority of carnations spoiled because
when they became tall they fell over and
the flowers rotted in the dust. Now
none of them spoil, and hence their
present cheapness."

The following from the Fremont Trib
une is a good word picture of the fight
for the fusion congressional convention
to be held here July 15th:
The democratic and populist congres
sional conventions will not come to
Fremont this year, Columbus having
captured them both at the committee
meetings held at Norfolk Monday even
ing. It was only after a long contest ot
three hours, however, that Columbus
won out, and then the result of the fight
was decided by the flipping of a dollar.
The date for the conventions was fixed
upon July 15.
On the first ballot in the democratic
committee, Columbus had three votes
more than Fremont. Wayne and Nor
folk also received some support. A
parliamentary war ensued which lasted
beyond midnight, and meanwhile Nor
folk and ita contiguous territory got
together with the purpose of throwing
the convention to that city. George
Coddington for Fremont and G. W.
Phillips for the Platte county capital at
once saw that if the fight were contin
ued along the same lines Norfolk would
win out.
Mr. Coddington accordingly went to
Mr. Phillips and proposed that a dollar
be tossed up to determine whether Co
lumbus or Fremont should receive the
undivided support of the southern
counties. The proposition was accept
ed and someone was found who had the
necessary coin.
"Heads," announced Mr. Coddington.
"Tails," said Mr. Phillips.
The dollar flew into the air and when
it came down a crowd of eager men bent
over it. Tails was up and Columbus
had won. It was not necessary to take
another ballot, as the understanding
had been so definite that the location of
the convention depended upon the
turning of the cart wheel alone.
In the populist committee meeting,
the vote was to a man in favor of Fre
mont. The democratic committeemen
from Platte and other counties, howev
er, would not consent to a joint ballot
as that would have given this city a
majority of one. B. D. Kelly was the
Fremont representative in the populist
pow-wow.
