dition of the bank published in a
newspaper shortly before the bank failed.

that similar suits will follow if the
plaintiff ia successful in this one.

He was thoroughly liked by his fellows
and tbe officials of the road and was con
sidered one of the beat passenger engi

J. S. Wells received word Saturday
that his father, John B. Wells, had died
at Glenn's Ferry, Idaho, that day. Mr.
Wells was one of the old settlers of
Columbus, coming here in the early days.
He waa at one time engaged in the lum
ber business in partnership with George
W. Clotner, tbe yard being located in
the same block where tbe Congregational
church now stands. He was at one time
engaged with the Union Pacific railroad
as engineer on tbe branch roads to Albion
and Norfolk. Before coming to Colum
bus Mr. Wells was employed in the
Union Pacific ehops at Grand Island
beginning his work there in 1868. He
left here about 1883, and haa lived in
Idaho most of the time since. Joseph
Wells of this city is his only child. Mr.
Wells wrote about two weeks ago to his
niece, Mrs. F. H. Buscbe, saying that he
waa suffering from rheumatism, but
nothing more was known of hia sickness
until word came telling of his death.
Mr. Wells lacked ten days of being 71
years old at the time of death. Joseph
Wells left here Sunday to attend the
funeral of hia father, which will be held
Thursday at Glenn's Ferry.

glycerine, aixteen fuses, two of which
were primed with percussion caps, two
caudles and a ball of beeswax. Chief of
Police Hagel waa immediately notified
and the articles taken possession of by
him. The owner of the bundle has no
been discovered, bat it is evident that
the articlee are tbe property of safe
burglars.
-'-Simon, the little son of Mr. and Mrs.
Samuel Kavieh died Friday afternoon of
diphtheria, aged two years and aeven
aaonthsL The child had only been sick
a fsw days and waa not thought to be
ailing to the extent of calling a doctor
until Thuraday night. Mr. Kavieh waa
in Fremont and the mother hesitated in
procuring a doctor until hie return.
Two other children of the family are
quarantined for the aame disease. The
remains of the child were taken to
Omaha Saturday afternoon for burial,
the body being prepared aa ia prescribed
by law for contagious cases. Relatives
of Mr. Kavieh from Fremont came up to
accompany the remaina to Omaha.
Have you ever wished to know some
thing of a bird'e life and habits, and
what it sees ss it lives its free life? If
you have and who haa not? then you'
will be interested in "Redhead;" for he is
taken through almost two years of his
eventful life in the course of the story,
and a most charming, entrancing story,
Mr. Speed makes it You will meet
other birds, too, and see tbe changes ss
tbe seasons pass over his head, and learn
aome of the secrets of the wood and field.
The story-is superbly illustrated with a
number of slides in oil colors, which have
been built especially for the lecture by
the celebrated artists, Messrs. Furnas
and Krements. Mr. Speed will speak jn

r
The citizens of Humphrey find they
will have to change some of their ordi
nances. The following appeared in tbe
last Humphrey Democrat, which created
considerable interest among Columbus
citizens: The esse of Marshal Hennes
and Frank Schumacher finally came to
an abrupt ending in the district court in
Columbus last week, and as a result
thereof, there will probably be some
new ordinances passed by tbe village
board of Humphrey. The first ordi
nance ever passed by the 'village of
Humphrey, and tbe one under which
M1 Hennes acted in the arrest of
Schumacher waa declared unconstitu
tional by Judge Grimiaon, in that it
waa improperly adopted. It appears
that the ordinance waa adopted by a
vote of the board as a whole, instead
of by a roll call of each member and by
eection. It ia argued by aome that
if the case wsa taken to tbe supreme
court the decision of Judge Grimison
would be reversed and that the ordi
nance would stand good, but the town
board will take a more expedient stand
and iaatead of carrying tbe case to tbe
supreme court, will revise and adopts a
new ordinance which will leave no ques
tion ss to its constitutionality. Tbe case
of Schumacher having Marshal Hennes
arrested for assault and battery, of
which the latter waa found guilty by
Justice Wagner of Columbus, is now
pcadiag ia the district court and will
probably be tried at tbe next aattiajrof

"A Model Farm.
The advance reports on
A Model
Farm'" which opens here on Thursday,
Dec. 10, heralds the piece as one of the
events of the 6eason. The play is a
comedy drama by Alexander Rimini, the
well known actor-author, who has clev
erly dramatized the idea of an eccentric
Chicago millionaire, who believes in
mankind living in the primitive state of
Adam and Eve. The old sayinsr "there
is nothing new under tbe snn,' does not
hold good in ,4. Model Farm," as the
play abounds in new situations and
startling climaxes which hold tbe audi
ence spell-bound to the end. The farm
yard scene in the third act, where the
Model Farm is shown in actnal opera
tion is one of tbe cleverest and
most natural scenes ever put before
the public. To one who enjoys good,
wholesome comedy, with a natural por
trayal of a story from real life.-"A Model
Farm" will prove a treat. Mr. Rimini
has surrounded himself with a company
of capable performers, and without a
doubt, bis visit here will prove to be the
event of the theatrical season.
