Words very neatly and truthfully spoken by the editor of the Central City Republican: "We had the pleasure of meeting Saturday, James G. Reeder of Columbus, and on Tuesday Robert J. Stineon of Fremont, our two candidates in this district for district judges. They are both plain, unassuming men advanc ing on middle age, and impress us as stable, nprigh't, energetic and well in formed gentlemen who on the bench will be untiring workers, impartial and so well trained in modern methods and requirements as to be able to discharge a large volume of business with dispatch without neglecting anything and thus saving much expense to the taxpayers." The city council met in regular ses sion last Friday evening. A petition to have Fourteenth street graded, between A and Fulton, waa referred to the com mittee on streets and grades.

An na Metira'a claim for damages to her garden, canned by surface water from bad drainage of streets, was recom mended rejected by the committee on claims, on the ground that the city is not liable for any damages of that na ture. The report of the committee was adopted. Bills for the month of September to the amount of $1,686.43 were allowed. This is the largest sum of money for monthly expenses allowed by the council since hut May. "Man's ingratitude to man" is well illustrated in the case of John Wilson, who waa arrested here Sunday evening on a charge of petty larceny. It appears that John Spreckman was shipping sheep east from Wyoming and on his way came across Wilson who was "beating" his way to Sioux City. Spreckman furnish ed him with transportation and board until they reached Columbus when Wil son, taking advantage of his benefac tor's absence, walked off with Spreck man'a overcoat and telescope satchel valued at 31-L85.

FILLMAN'S And it came to pass that there dwelt a strong tnbe known aa the Lin colnites and they lived in the land of Lancaster near nnto Salt Creek. And they journeyed afar to the north and came unto the land of the Platte where dwelt the Colnmbusites. And when they were seen afar off those who dwelt m the land of the Platte did cry with a loud voice saying. Behold! this is our finish; for are they not strong and powerful, and have they not defeated all before them? But the high priests and judges of the tribe of Columbus said nnto their warriors, hearken; we will do them bat tle; ia it not better to snifer defeat in an honorable fight against heavy odds than to conquor a weaker people? And it was even so, and then was eleven of the best and mightiest warriors of the tnbe chosen to go out on the campns and do battle with the lion tamers and man eaters from the land of Lancaster. And behold the multitudes assembled in great numbers and many did pass through the gates so that even the offi cers of the law were called to keep them back off the white line. And when the two armies were lined up for battle the Lincolmtes did boast and say with a load voice, they are as nothing m our hand". But the multitudes cned Iond through tin horns and megaphones and said: Go to, get thee into the game and the game and the score shall not be large." And then, did the whistle blow and the battle began. And when the Lincolnitea did try to steal the ball the Columbuaites did fall heavily upon them and did smite them hip and thigh and one from the land of Lancaster did cry out saying, "I am sorely hurt, get me the water and arnica." And a lad did bring water from the brook and it was found that the gladiator had suffered a broken shoe string and he waa at once carried from the scene of battle, that he might die. Ami again did thoee from Lancaster try to wrest the ball from the Columbusites and each time were they felled heavily to the ground and piled up in large numbers. And once did a Uncolnite call for a new bee hive to place over hia nose to replace the one he had broken, and it being not against the rules of warfare a new one was furnished. And once when the ball was stolen and car ried dear around the warriors and down into the south end of the grid iron there waa much cheering from the people.

You don't know a touchdown from a knockdown; nor a half back from a hunchback." And so did the battle wage for two long hours; and so did the crowds cheer and cry themselves hoarse even to the end of the battle, when the time keepers and judges did announce that the strong men from Salt Creek had woe by a score of 31 to 3. But even so the warriors from the Platte were not abashed at their defeat for they put up a good arti cle of fight and the lincolnitea will long remember that they had a game with the warriors from the Platte.
