Windows were broken, desks and other property damaged. The achool board have required the guilty onea to pay all damagee and have imposed atrict discipline over them for the balance of the year. The citizens of Seward disposed of the question in regard to music in the schools. We clip the following from the Blade: "The board last week submitted to the patrons of the schools the ques tion of whether music should be taught every dsy instead of two daya in the week, aa at present The result waa that out of 175 votes, 150 were in favor of teaching it every day, consequently the board mat night passed a resolution to that effect, and next year the children will have music every day. The achool board, at least, believes that the major ity ahould rule."

Farmers say that the ground ia in excellent condition for crops. The appearance of birds and the lawns of green grass with the beautiful balmy daya, make every one feel that there ia no better country in all the world than dear old Nebraska. The St Edward Sun has been pub lishing some exceedingly interesting arti cles from the pen of M. J. Thompson on "Reminieoences of Esrly Daya." Many of the Columbus people are connected Wjith the early history of Boone county. Recently a atory was told of John Ham mond which we are aura the many peo ple who still remember that gentleman would have enjoyed readingand would have recognized aa characteristic of him. A snow blockade was in effect all day Saturday on the Cheyenne k North ern branch of 'the Colorado k Southern. All cuts between Cheyenne and Gendo were filled with snow that was packed so hard that in places it resisted the efforta of the big enow plow. The Union Pacific also experienced considerable trouble. About two inches of enow fell Saturday at Harvard, Nebraska, and here in Co lumbus a light fall of snow covered the roada and walks, which melted away however, before noon. J. C. Stevens, assistant engineer U. S. geological survey, wss in the city a few daya last week taking readings of the water flow at the stations near here on the Loup and Platte rivers. Mr. Stevens haa had considerable experience with water power in Iowa and haa given aome attention to the proposed plant here. There ia no reason, he says, why Colum bus could not have a wonderful power which would be of inestimable value to thia city particularly, and to many of the larger cities of the atate. One of the Colambas boys who is making his mark m Fred Williams. Leas than twenty-five years old, a graduate of the Columbua High school snd later of the State university, with experience as a teacher, he haa recently been elect ed superintendent of the Seward city schools at a aalary of $1,000. The Sew ard Blade aaya that "Mr. Williams haa been principal of the High achool the past year, in which position be showed much ability aa an inatructor." Taa Joubxaii ia alwaya glad to record the advancement of our citizens. E Corbin, of Grand Island, the vet eran Union Pacific park gardener, waa in Columbus Mondsy looking after the park here. He telle ua that his son E. N., who several years ago was engaged in the eleotrio light plant under Charles Schroeder in this city, haa aecnred a position within the past few weeks as ex perimental electrician for a railroad com pany at Phoenixville, Pa, at a aalary of $1,800.

Mrs. Henrich waa the widow of Rev. A. Henrich, one of the old eettlers of the county who spent many years ss a German Baptist minister in Platte Center and in the church east of that village. Rev. Henrich died in Platte Center in 1895, and Mrs. Henrich has been living there until the past few months, since when she haa been cared for by Mm. Salee of thia city. Mrs. Hen rich was a native of Germany. The remains were taken to Platte Center where funeral services were held in the Baptist church after which the body waa laid to rest in the cemetery west of the town. C. M. Baker of Chicago, ajeietant general superintendent of the Postal Telegraph Cable Co., waa in the city last Wednesdsy looking after the interests of his company. The Postal company ia extending ita line from Omaha to San Francisco, along the Union Pacific rail road as far as Ogden and from that place along the Southern Pacific railroad to San Franeiaco. The company ia com pelled to get permission from property owners along the Union Pacific right of way to erect ita poles on their land, aa the railroad company haa refused to grant it thia right Columbua will be one of the stations and will probably have an ap-town office. When estab lished there will no doubt be a great reduction in the rates charged for send ing meesagea. Two carloada of material are now in the Burlington yards here ready for use. Many towns along the Platte and Loop rivers are in the midst of solving the bridge probleme. Columbua feela like congratulating herself on having been fortunate this year. With four big bridges at thia point, including the Union Pacific and B. k M. railroad structures only one, the B. k M, waa injured to any extent Oar Platte river bridge orig inally coat as $10,000 and has been re paired at various times. The new Loap river bridge cost $38,000 without the approaches, which cost $3)0. There are many in the county who eeem to think there haa been too much money expended oa these. The following from the Schuyler Sua will be of interest to the taxpayers: "The old Platte river bridge baa coat the county during the past thirty-five years since it waa tret pat ia, about $75,000, and has coat Schuyler ncaowet over $30,000.
