X TWO PROPOSITIONS TO CONSIDER SHEET LIGHT STILL A PROBLEM Dr. Haiab Now Ofm Are Ligfcta for 85 Eaca-Aaetkar Fraacfcise to Bo Asked for. In the council meeting last Friday night, the question of street lights was the paramount isue again. C. C. Hig gins appeared before the council and spoke on the question of comparative expense of electricity and gas, and the advantages of domestic use of gas for cooking fuel. When the council ad journed, it was to assemble again Tues day night, and at the adjonrned meet ing Mr. Biggins asked permission to submit an ordinance to the council granting him a franchise for the erec tion of a gas and electric light plant in the city and a contract to light the cityjfcreets. Dr. Ilemtz also submitted an offer to the council, offering to fur nish twenty. Gve arc lights for $S..00 each per year. It is understood that in case the franchise and contract are fjiven Mr. Higgins, he will make satisfactory arrangements with Dr. Heintz regarding the present plant and equipment. Dr. Heintz was present at the meeting Tues day night, and said that his offer was conditioned upon the installing of new equipment, which would take a month or more. He again said that he could not consider the matter of letting the old lights continue at less than the price he has heretofore submitted. The usual routine business was trans acted at the regular meeting. The chief of iolice reported notices t-erved on J. A. Douglas and W. A. McAllister to re puir sidewalks: Lacky Levany and J. A. Ernst to remove wooden walks and C. S. Raney to construct new walk. The Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Co. reported the boilers at the water works in good condition with the exception of .some slight scale and pitting, and that the brick lining in furnace of boiler Xo. 2 would need re pair soon. Reports of chief of police, police judge city treasurer and street overseer were approved.

On motion of Councilman Galley, the city attorney in connection with the committee on judiciary was directed to revlse tne occupation tar ordinance. . c ., Horao-Thiof Safe ia Jail.

Frazelle has filed a enit in the district court against the Onion racific Railroad to recover damages in the sum of $1999.95 for alleged permanent injories which he bars he received while working for the de fendant company in the capacity of switchman. The petition alleges that on the thirteenth dav of Novem ber while the plaintiff was assisting to make np the train known as the "Grand Island Local," under the di rection of James Armstrong, engine foreman or yardmaster, and while several cars were being slowly shoved by the switch engine to connect with other cars to complete the make up of said train, and whilo in the net of uncoupling cars from the switch en gine, and without any warning or signal from the plaintiff, the engine which was to draw the Grand Island train was backed against the train be ing made np witn snch force as to shove the whole train against the switch engine and force the coach against the awiich engine, breaking the lugs and draw bar, by reason of which breakage the plaintiff's left leg was broken and crushed above the knee. The plaintiff says that the in jury is permanent and deprives him and his family of his income which was $S4 a month. He also Bays that the injury would not have occurred but for defective lugs which should have been -wrought iron instead of pot metal. Nor would it have occurred had there an adequate switching crew tu assist him. Flroatea'a Presraat.

About 20,000 hand separators are in use in this state at this time and all of the principal hand separator man ufacturers have secured space in the dairy building and will have their various makes of machines on exhib ition, and competent men to explain the desirable and useful qualities. At the St. Louie exposition it is a fad for states making an exhibit of dairy products to attract attention by life size models in butter placed in the show window ocenpied by such state. In order to keep up with the times in this direction the Beatrice Creamery Company of Lincoln have arranged, at an expense of several hundred dol lars, to have one of thft most expert artists employed at the St.-Louis Ex position come to Lincoln and model in butter a life size exhibit to be placed in the refrigerator in the dairy build ing on the state fair grounds, and in order to accomodate this exhibit and show it to the best possible advantage, the state fair management have plan ned to enlarge the window in the front of the refrigerator to fixS feet, with plate glass front. The management of the state fair to be held in Lincoln, August 29 to Sep tember 2. have secured a very novel aad interesting attraction.

FIRST BATTLE GOES AG AINST BANKER FIVE & COSTS FOX E A.1E0DB0LL Lindsay Mas Fined far Peiatias; Gaa at E. C. Fitaaiauaaas-Caata t ta Fifty. The first round in the Lindsay case of Fitzsimmons vs Brod boll was pulled off in county court last Friday and resulted in first blood for Fitzsim mons. The court fined Mr. Brod boll -1.00 and costs for "menacing and threatening assault" upon E. C. Fitz simmons. The costs amount to some 50. Mr. Brod boll has filed an appeal to district court. The alleged circumstances, which it would seem have been proved to the satisfaction of the conrt, are that on the lf.th of July E. A. Brodboll met E. C. Fitzsimmons on the streets of Lindsay and pointed the small end of a gun at him, threatening to shoot him. Mr. Brodboll is the Lindsay banker who has been active in the case of the charges which were made against Drs. Munk and Walker of Newman Grove, and which were not proved. His son. Paul Brodboll, is now under bond to appear at Spald ing on the 2'Jth of this month to an swer a charge of shooting ont window lights in the school honse where be has been teaching, and of starting a prairie fire which caused great loss of property. . In the case which was decided Fri day afternoon in county conrt, Mr. Brodboll asked the court if he had any other charges against him to bring them on all at the same time so that they could all be settled at once. Howevor. the court was unable to find anything else on his docket, so the Fitzsimmons case was tried and decided as stated. Advertised Letters.

The Colnabms battery was Dolaa and Dodders, and for Creston Morrison and Sharrar. The feature of the game was Dolan's pitching. He struck ont fifteen men, and in the first three innings did not left a man reach first base. His support was good, and the game was never in doabt. For the visitors, Morrison pitched a good game, bat the home boys were very handy with the stick and were lucky once or twice in gett ing hits at just the Tight time. Cres ton got a man on third twice in the game, but that was their limit. Jones was a star batter for the Columbus team and Janded on the ball in a very reckless fashion. The diamond was in good shape and a fair crowd at tended. Jones. Gutzmer and Taylor are oredited with stolen bases. Next Sunday one of the hard games of the seasonwilI be played With the Schuy ler team. The Scbayler crowd are said to be a pretty rapid set, and there will be a game worth going miles to see. The home team is showing up in fine shape, and they are putting up a game that is worthy of support by all the local fans. The price charged is tho good old-fashioned quarter. Iadiaa Kail. The Columbus team took a fall out of the "Sioux Indians, Monday after noon, in a score of 7 to 3. The In dians are repreeented to come from Spokane, Wash., and to be on their way to the St. Lonis exposition. They have a strong team and had won nine straight games before they lit here. Lohr and Jones were tho Columbus battery. In the evening the red men got back at the local boys in a species of horse play known as baseball by arc-lights. They have a number of electric lights around the diamond which is abont ten feet less on each side than the regular diamond. The oatfielders all play np in the diamond, and they use a dead ball somewhat larger than the league ball and softer. At this game the noble redskins rubbed it into the palefaces in the gross sum of 17 to 8. It was lots of fun. but did not bear any striking re semblance to the great national game. In the game next Sunday, and all others hereafter, there will be an officer present on the grounds to keep everything in order and insure con duct on the part of everyone present which will be unexceptionable.

Lowell, Mass., which may be re garded as without n rival in the Unit ed States for the extent and variety of its manufactures, derives its almost unrivalled advantages from n descent of '-id feet in the Merrimack, which, by the aid of canals and locks, furn ishes an immense hydraulic power. Columbus could be made a great ufactnrintr center. Onr power woald of course be derived from the fall ia the waters of the Loupe. It is a rapid stream and is a never failing stream.
