The republican voters of the city of Colnmbns are hereby notified to meet in bums convention March 21st, 1909; at City Hall, Saturday evening at 8 o'clock p. m. for the purpose of nominating can didates to fill the following named city offices for the coming year, namely: A. candidate for mayor, city clerk, city treasurer, city engineer, one councilman from each of the separate wards, two members of the school board, and for each other business as may come before the convention. Clinton C. Gray, Chairman City Central Com. The Kansas legislature has passed a bill prohibiting slot machines in that state, the operation of which will be considered a felony. An American has invested 1,000,000 in the Stangeli copper fields, located on the south side of the boundary between Norway and Sweden. Electric storms were experienced in Iowa and also in parts of Nebraska, Mon day. In Dee Moines, Iowa, one man was struck dead on the street by lightning. Gottlieb Nieoenfikd, the murderer of his wife and her father in Pierce county last September, paid the penalty of his awful crime during the noon hour last Friday at the state penitentiary in Lincoln, by hanging. No political party has any copyright on tax reform. The demand for equal taxation of railroad property with other property should command the support of every conscientious and honest mem ber of the legislature irrespective of politics. Omaha Bee, The Fremont Tribune gives a picture of the new Union station which will be built there this summon The building will be not unlike that of the new Union Pacific station in Omaha. The ground plan to be 60x220 feet and constructed of Omaha pressed brick. Tiie vicinity of Kamloops, B. C, expe rienced one of the coldest waves for this time in the history of the country. On the 13th at Quilchenait it was 30 below zero and at Nicola Lake 28 below. Reports state that the horses are dying fast, and the loss will be great if the weather does not soon moderate. As the result of a head-end collision between the first section of No. 102 of the Union Pacific and a freight train at Brady Island at 7:30 Monday morning one man is dead and one injured. The dead: Herman Houx, 507 South Thir teenth street, Omaha, newsboy, married. Injured: M. C. Wallace, Omaha, con ductor; injuries not serious. An American, William De Labarre, director of the Washburn-Pillsbury mills, Minneapolis, is in Magdeburg, Germany, buying machinery for the briquette works that Washburn intends to build at Bismark, N. D. Briquettes, which are fuel made from lignite, are widely used in Germany. It is estimated that 55,000 square miles of lignite under lie the Dakotas and Montana, while another wide belt extends through the Gulf states from Florida to Texas. It is said to be a smokeless fuel. The Lincoln city council last week gave a franchise to the Western Union Independent Telephone company. The ordinance was rushed through at the one sitting, was signed by the mayor, and the following day given a legal pub lication. Only one councilman really foaght the ordinance. This means that Lincoln will soon have connection with the Independent telephone lines all over the state and that Omaha will be anx ioas to fall in line also in order to keep the trade with Nebraska merchants. President Roosevelt has just receiv ed the following letter from Colonel W. F. Cody, dated at London, March 3: "For the benefit of future generations, the timber, and especially the under brush, must be protected now before it is too late from the sheep devastating the mountain water sheds, as they have already done the valleys and table land. IT sheep are allowed to browse on the underbrush of our mountains, in leas than five years from now the homeseeker, the man behind the plow, the actual tax payer, will have to leave the Big Horn Basin for want of water to irrigate his land. No one knows this better than yourself, for you are familiar with all of the west." Jbfaae the T tianay. Bows, March 14. Cardinal Gotti, pre fect of the propaganda and Manager Yeccia, secretary of the congregation have both refused to give evidence in the suit before the American civil courts which Father Murphy, former pastor of a church at Tecumseh, Neb., has insti tated against the Right Bev. Thomas Bonacam, Bishop of Lincoln, Neb. The Rev. George Agios, chancellor of the diocese of Lincoln, said to the Star: "I wish to state emphatically that Borne has refused again to accept Marphy'a appeal, referring the case to the Bight Bev. Bishop Bonacum, giving him full power to act. Bishop Bonacam has re ceived the communication from Cardinal Gatti, prefect of the Sacred Congrega tion of Propaganda, through Castro, United States general consul in Borne. The communication was received in February. I state also that when Room refaass an appeal, it is that she fally recognizes the authority that she has javested in her bishop, and that the clergyman making the appeal steads ceademned in the eyes of Borne, and therefor he should obey the lawfully (Special Corresptmdeece.) The appropriatioB bills have at .last into the hoase, and will be the subject of discussion in committee of the whole immediately after the disposal of the revenue bOL Aa usual the amounts asked for in the appropriation bill are very large, and will be trimmed dowa somewhat by the house. The dis position toward liberality will be more pronoanced if adequate provision is aaade for raising the money to pay the bilk. The revenue bill has been reported to the hoaee by the standing committee with a namber of amendments, the most important of which is the change in the time of the assessment from the first of February back to the present date. There is some disposition, however, to compromise on March 1st The bill has been priated and placed in general cir culation, and an agreement has been reached to hold night sessions in the hoase until it is disposed of. In the meantime the same bill has been intro daced in the senate, and will be held in abeyance pending action in the house. A number of new bills have been intro duced calling for amendments to the constitution, and it is possible that some of them may pass, and give the people another chance to vote upon them. Heretofore the trouble in elections has been that more than one-half of the voters neglected to vote on the amend ments, and they have always failed to carry. A move will no doubt be made to have the propositions placed at the head of the ballots instead of at the bottom, as an experiment to see if the voters will not take more interest. On Friday a decided flurry was caused by the report handed to the senate by the committee on accounts and expendi tures, severely criticising the secretary of state because of the purchase of legis lative supplies without authority, and the including of carpets, furniture, and a number of other items not ordered or used by the legislature. The bills in the hands of the committee show many over charges and other discrepancies, and reflect much discredit on one of the employes, and decided embarrassment to the secretary of state. The committee declined to audit and pay the bills, and a full investigation is to be made. In taking hold of the matter in a fearless manner the legislature is showing a strong contrast to the f usionists when they were in power and when they con doned rather than criticised the illegal or dishonest acts of their officials. It is quite probable that this session will pass a law which will prevent extravagance and peculation of public funds in this manner in the future. The agitation over the Omaha plan to tax terminals practically subsided last week when the house by a decisive vote indefinitely postponed house roll 330. There is some talk that a similar meas ure in the senate will be revived, but the evident hopelessness of the movement will detract from its interest. In case the session holds six days in the week from now on, the sixtieth day will come on the 30th of March. It has been usual, however, that the sessions hold more than sixty days, and the opin ion is quite general that the end will not come before the 4th or 5th of April. President Roosevelt and party will visit several towns in the state on their western tour. The first stop will be at Grand Island where the party will spend the entire day, Sunday, April 26, leaving Monday morning and making short visits at Hastings, Lincoln, Fremont and Omaha. The party will be in St. Louis the 29th where the president will attend the dedication exercises of the exposi tion. I ADDITIONAL : : LOCAL : : Afterttoagata ef tke Zltod. The flood of last week was a bad one but would have been much worse had the ice which was held back by the Union Pacific tracks, rushed into the low bottom land in the south part of town. In the flood of March 10, 1893, great quantities of ice came down, killing chickens, hogs and small animals unable to withstand the ice, and cutting down fences and small buildings with the mighty force. Last Monday much of the ice was landed on the south of the river in the Barnum pasture, although there was left drifts in many low places all through the valley. Many people who witnessed the carry ing off their foundations the houses of Mrs. Braggold were astonished at the bravery manifested by that lady. Trainmen reported that one large cake of ice came down the river at one time, tearing away the rip-rapping with one sweep without so much as turning it from its course. People who live in the south part of town have built their houses on firm foandations and there are very few who are disconcerted at the approach of high water. Those who have gone through the experience once, usually remain on their premises. Believingitems in regard to the former floods would be of interest to our read ers we copy the following from old files of The Journal which will call to mem ory incidents of years ago. From our see of March 23, 1861, we find the fol lowing: "The flood of the last few days has proved quite an inconvenient thing to many citizens living on lowlands. At Schuyler they improvised what they were pleased to call a fleet, electing Mr. Clarkson admiral. Several families liv ing on the low lands were escorted to safe residences. Coming westward, we hear of a number of incidents. Robert McPhersoe's house was three feet in water, and several email farms in the neighborhood were entirely mbmerged. Charles Bickly has a cattle ranch be tween, the Loup and the Platte, near their eonflaence. Along in the evening of Tharsday last something came against the door of the shanty in which were Sam Richly and Joe Miller. On exami nation it was found to be the tongue of their wagoa, floated to them. They got into the wagoa, Joe took up his fiddle aad Sam danced a jig, the boys being deterauaed not to let St Patrick's day slip by without some appropriate recog nition. They made their bed ia the wagoa that aight. The bottom between the Loap aad Platte river wagon bridges was covered Moaday with three to foar feet of slash ice. Mr. Baraum'e family moved out, so we hear, Monday morning at 2 o'clock to Jackson. If the ice should gorge at all, the bridges in this vionitv. throwing the waters of the stream out of its bed weald certainly make bad work." In the next issue of Tax Journal, March 30, 1881, the flood is recorded as follows: "On Saturday last the loag looked for break-up of the Loup river took place. There has been no such flood of water since 1867. Early in the flood the middle spans of the Loup river waaon bridge were seen to loosen and quietly float down stream. Some houses were carried off, being struck by large cakes of ice. George Spooner's dwelling was taken several squares and set down again in good shape. Mrs. Hamer's building was considerably riddled. David Anderson had about $100 worth of hogs caught and lost. He was in Albion and thonaht he could get home before the break-up should reach Columbus, it being twelve hours going from Genoa to Lost Creek, but after it passed that point, it seemed to gain great impetus, and went like a race horse. John Haney, not having had the least warning had two hundred and ten head of cattle swept off, recovering only fifty of them. Mr. Chambers of the A. & N., Ora Shan non and others went down the track on a hand car and their attention was attracted by a signal waved from Mrs. Barrows' dwelling, which was quite a distance into the water. The party returned to the city, and taking an engine, flat-car and a boat, returned and rescued Mrs. Barrows and her children and Mrs. Dykes who was stopping with them." In our issue of March 15, 1893, we find the following facts: "On Friday last ice gorged at the Union Pacific bridge and the great weight and crush were too much for that structure; two spans, three hundred feet, were pushed orer onto the ice. One man whose name was Kolso was drowned. He was standing on the bridge when it gave way. Mayor Schupbach provided temporary shelver for those away from home, at the opera house, and E. D. Fitzpatrick gave his hall for the same purpose. The B. & M. railroad bridge went out In thirty-five years, Jonas Welch says, he never noticed the Loup break up, except two to ten days after the Platte; this time it was before. Earl Simmons spent Friday night on the Loup wagon bridge. He had been hunting, had a duck, built a fire, ate his meal and made the night of it not being able to get off either way. tJol. Meagher has been tireless in his work ever since the flood was first announced and pretty nearly lost his life when the two spans of the railroad bridge went out Mike Savage literally made him come out of danger. The last great flood preceding this was in the soring of 1881. after a winter during which snow laid on the ground from the middle of October until April.'' PERSONAL MBNTION B. P.

She was on her way to Denver and from there will go with friends to spend about two months in California. X. F. S. It. 3. Hon. D. A. Becher was at home over Sunday. Several farmers were husking corn last week, and one we noticed plowing. John Boe, one mile north of Peter Schmitt's mill, will have a sale on Mon day, March 23, consisting of stock, farm implements, buggies, wagons and house hold goods. A quartette of wind instruments was recently formed by the following four young men of the Shell Creek German Baptist church: Edward Behlen, tenor; John Behlen, cornet; Arthar Behlen, alto; Gustavo Behlen, baas. The pro gress they have made in a abort time is a credit to their teacher, Mr. John Beacber. aa well as to themselves. Oth ers expect to soon join them and form a complete brass band. The two weddings took place as was mentioned in last week's items, both on Thursday the 12th. The first in the forenoon, Mr. Herman Ludemaa of Clay county was married to Miss Minnie Kluver of Platte county at the home of the bride's parents, by Rev.Papenhaasen.
