After raging with relentless fury for
thirty-six hoars the heavy snow storm
between Cheyenne and Sidney subsided
on Saturday. The wind blew, piling the
snow in huge banks. The Union Pacific
was blocked between those cities, a num
ber of iissaniiH,r r and mail trains were
unable to move. Conservative stock
men say it waa one of the worst storms
for stockm many years. From Saturday
morning until Sunday after midnight
there were no through trains from the
west.
Work on the Spalding extension of
the Union Pacific is hindered by the
snow and cold weather. Track is laid to
within a half mile of Spalding but much
work yet remains to be done to put it in
shape for train service. The new town
of Primrose, half way between Cedar
Bspids and Spalding has been surveyed
and lots are now on the market. Several
buildings have already been started. A
grocery and drug store, a general store,
implement house, and a couple of eleva
tors are among the first enterprises.
Dr. J. B. Carnes of Lincoln, state
Sup't of the Anti-Saloon League, was in
the city Friday on his way to the north
ern part of the state. Dr. Carnes is
enthusiastic over the result of the last
election. He reports that 350 out of the
1,000 Nebraska towns went dry at the
last election; that one-third of all the
district judges and more than one-third
of all the sheriffs are temperance men;
that four of the six congressmen from
Nebraska are for temperance in national
emergency, and that the governor was
elected by a temperate element by 54)00
majority.
The Union Pacific has issued a new
time table which went into effect last
Sunday. There are several slight chan
ges in nearly all the trains on the main
line, and one new passenger has been
added, a North Platte local which is doe
here going east at 2.-08 p. m., and going
west at 1024 a. m. This will relieve the
crowded condition of passenger trains
which at times has been exceedingly
unpleasant for travelers. There are no
changes on the Norfolk branch but the
passenger on the Albion and Cedar
Bapids branch will leave hereafter at
11:20 a. m., and iadue to return at 2p.m.
The Great and only Herrmann, the
most expert adept in the art of magic
the world has ever seen will mystify and
delight the theatre-goers of this city at
the North opera house next Saturday
evening. Herrmann is a name that is
synonymous with all that is mysterious
and awe inspiring and most mystifying
and incomprehensible feats of magic are
performed by him with a charm of man
ner and running fire of wit that would
lore a confirmed cynic into admiration.
For his present engagement in this city
he brings many new novelties that have
never been seen here before. Several
sensational illusions presented by him
have set all America talking.
Miss Mary O'Brien died at the home
of her mother, Mrs. Honora O'Brien,
early Monday morning. Miss O'Brien
was taken ill last Thursday but was not
considered seriously sick until Sunday,
when a physician waa called, who pro
nounced her trouble Bright's disease.
The deceased was born in 1862 in Peoria
county, Illinois. She came with rela
tives to Platte county in 1882, since when
she has made her home here, and has
been her mother's constant companion.
She leaves several brothers and sisters
besides her mother, who will mourn the
loss of a kind, gentle sister and daughter.
Funeral services will be held this Wed
nesday from the Catholic church.
The harness store of F. H. Bnsche
on Eleventh street was entered by bur
glars Wednesday night and now four
fine fur overcoats valued at $20 each are
missing, xne ourgiar cut tnrougn two
back doors in order to get into the store
room. During the evening a party was
offering for sale a fur coat for $10 in
Herscheahan'a saloon, and later when
Policeman Wm. Hewitt, attempted to
arrest a fellow near Schroeder's mill on
suspicion, who resulted the officer, inves
tigation was made and found that the
goods were missing. The man when
arrested by the police was wearing two
of the overcoats. He gave his name as
Berry and was held to the district court
Thursday in Justice Wagner's court in
the sum of $1,000. It is thought that
more than one man is interested in the
burglary.
The Platte Center Signal has the
following in regard to the death of
Dennis Dugan, who was wall known in
and around Columbas: "For the second

The regular meeting of the city
council waa held last Friday evening.
The council allowed $100 to be taken
from the tisasaij for expenses of two
delegates to the firemen's annual con
vention. The chief of the fire depart
ment reported that several buildings in
the city were not properly provided with
fire escapee. Justice J. M. Curtis asked
for desk room in the council chamber
and the matter waa referred to the com
mittee oa police. In a communication
from First Assistant Postmaster General
Wymore to Mayor Dickinson, be stated
that this city is not yet entitled to free
delivery of mail, in-as-much as the
revenas of the Columbus office for the
fiscal year eaded June 30, 1902, was
but $9,852.
The district court spent nearly the
eatire week oa the Dussall-Henry case,
the jury reoar.ing their instructions
from the judge at 5 o'clock Saturday
evening, and after four hoars of deliber
ation brought in a verdict for the plain
tiff, together with interest oa the $500
since last March and the expenses of the
case. The suit waa brought by A. Dus
eel for $500 for fulfillment of a contract
made in Denver last March at the time
of the marriage of Miss Jessie Duaaell to
Robert Henry, the money to be given for
defraying expenses of the young wife.
The suit waa brought against Mrs. Mary
Henry, mother of the groom. The dis
trict court has adjourned until January
5th, when the Borchers' boys trial for
the murder of their father will be heard.
A certain man has treasured for
years among his valued possessions a
little tin horse and wagon. It was a
Christmas gift from a little boy who was
blind, deaf and dumb. The thrice-affiict-ed
child had no conception of other
wants or pleasures than his own; he
could not understand that the toy would
not be valuable, intrmaically, to the man
as it was to himself. It was one of the
boy's treasures, and because he loved
this friend, he shared his best with him.
And throughout all the world at that
Christmastide there was given no gift
more truly in the spirit of the day than
this. When we give of our best, un
grudgingly and lovingly, we give after
the fashion of the Father's gift of his Son.
Christmas is the day of the year on which
a man can least afford to think ungener
ous thoughts of anybody. William Ellis.
The High school debating team of
this city, consisting of Bertha Chapin,
Albert Brugger and Harry Jerome, went
to Seward Friday to contest with the
High school team of that place on the
question: "Resolved, That cities should
own and control their own franchises."
Columbus taking the affirmative. The
question waa well discussed on both
sides. The decision of the judges was
two to one in favor of Seward, but Co
lumbus has no reason to feel ashamed of
its team. The visitors were given a
reception at the magnificent residence of
Mr. Jones on the evening of the debate.
They returned Saturday night well
pleased with their visit. Those who
accompanied the debaters were: Mrs.
Brugger, Martha Stauffer, Nellie Evans,
Lillian Adams, Dora Weaver, Fred and
Ned Post and Prof. GraybilL
The Great and only Herrmann comes
to the North open house Saturday, Dec
27th, in his magnificent exhibition of
magic and occult phenomenon. The
critical theatre-goers of the United
States have long since endorsed the
marvellous work of this Great Herrmann,
and it is safe to say that as an enter
tainer in magic and sensational illusions,
his standard ia absolutely secure as being
the foremost purveyor of this style of
entertainment on the American stage.
Novelties in magic are as essential to
success as in the field of the drama and
it is probably to this one fact that Herr
mann always presents something new
and startling, something that starts the
tongues to wagging in the cities he visits
as well as to the marvellous dexterity
with which these feats are performed
that much of his phenomenal success
is due.
While the question of distributing
more state normal schools throughout
Nebraska is being discussed, it would be
well for Columbus people to put in her
claim. Norfolk and Fremont both want
a normal institution- Columbas is a
better place than either of these towns,
is accessible to the cities as well as' all
the western part of the state and can be
reached easily from all directions. This
section of the country has need of a
normal or college. Platte county alone
has sent many pupils to higher schools
over the state and many more could take
advantage of normal training if it were
nearer home. For several years past
Albion baa felt the need of normal
school work, and educators conduct a
summer school each year which is well
attended. If a normal should be built
in Columbus, students and teachers from
Albion and other towns along the branch
roads would give it hearty support.
The All-American bowling team, on
a tour of the United States, met Colum
bus players at Hagel's alleys Wednesday
evening last and an immense crowd of
ladies and gentlemen were present to
witness the sport. Five games at ten
pins wen rolled with the following result:
All-Americans Wolf 179, 167. 130, 174.
218, total 868; Petersen 195, 199, 195, 155,
138, total 882; Voorheis 186, 218, 193, 172,
152, total 921; total for the team 2,67L
Columbus-Gnves 123, 168, 1S6, 152, 216,

total 811; Gregoriua 145, 168, 157, 177,
140, total 787; total for the team 2,443.
On account of "stage fright" the Colum
bus trio wen unable to get their usual
quota of pins, nevertheless then was but
oss local team in the state which made
a better showing against the All-Americans
and that was Nebraska City. The
professionals went to David City from
hen when they defeated the locals by
the seore of 2,964 to 243.
