place bat in a bank. Why, yon say.
There are a great many reasons, bat the

in? bills. Besides that, yon are sure of
a receipt for every dollar paid out if you
use checks. Come in and have a talk
with as. It won't cost yoa anything.

ia reference to the matter: "George
Rambonr went to Columbus today to

the brewery there of Mr. Kersenbrock

He expects to move
there with his family, but will operate

council not compelling the outside
brewers to pay 3500 license and thus
protect the home industry. In Colum

The funny New England comedy,
Cncle Josh Spruceby will be the next
big event at the North Opera hoase
linintTi Tuesday ept 20. This
j charming drama is a series of pictures
of New England life on the farm, and
the troubles of "Uncle Josh" in making
a visit to New York are incidenfly touch
ed upon: the characters are all taken
from Vermont rural life and are true to
nature, the play containing a mixture of
pathos and hamor. Special scenery is
used to mount the different scenes, and
the great saw mill scene used in this
production is the most realistic piece of
stage mechanism ever presented.
Twenty people are in the company. In
the cities visited this season the press
are lavish jn their prais. of the pro
- r
auction. Manv new and catchy special-
138
are presented. A solo operatic
teal features.
A big parade is given at
noon daily and the concert of popular
music rendered by band is very popular
and attracts large crowds.

tke city, after oaly taw day's asri
oaa illnea. Wedaeeday aaorning about
6 o'clock he saffered a severe stroke
of paralyiie, and fruai that hoar grad
ually becaaw weaker. Mr. Wiggins
had a wide circle of acqaaialaacea
throaghoat tke coeuuy. Coaiag to
the city in 1S7, ha has been closely
coanected with its baaiaeea interests
erer since.
John Wiggins was born Jane D. 1S49,
in Salisbary Geatar, New York. He
was married Jaaaary 32, 1S74, to Miss
Rosanna D. Metcalf. Before moving
west he owned and operated a cheese
factory. In March. 1S7, ha moved to
this city aad parchased the hardware
store of H. P. Uoolidge. In 1880 he
was financially interested in establish
ing a packing hoase, and in 1886 he
engaged in the live stock business, in
which he continued until a few months
ago, in partnership with W. H. Lewis,
when he sold his interests to O. Breese.
Mr. Wiggins was for six coasecntiTe
years an active member of the county
board of snpe. visors, was a member of
the Colambus school board several
terms, and was a prominent member
of the Masonic and Workman lodges.

City Coaieil.
The regular council meeting Friday
night was without incident. Bills were
allowed ia the sum of I960. 78. Reports
of police judge, chief of police and over
seer of streets were received. Bills of
F. L. Asehe and H. Ragatz & Co., for
merchandise furnished patients fa quar
antine, were allowed, the city attorney
rtportiaf that the county would not pa- p
the tuaruupiM esa of paupers. "The
chief of police reported that notice bad
been served o J. A. Turner to construct
new sidewalk. Tie council will meet
again next Friday night in adjourned
sessios, when sidewalk matters mainly
will be considered.
The ball game last Sunday was a
good game. The home boys walked
away with the game without much ex
citement, though at one time the David
City folks got two men oa bases with no
oats. Lohr pitched a good steady game
and Folmer behind the bat was in
league form. The final score was 4 to 1
in favor of Columbas. Colambas made
6 hits and David City 4; errors, Colum
bus 1, David City 4. A pretty play was
in the sixth inning when FuLmer came
to bat. The David City pitcher passed
him op one of those slow dew-drops and
Folmer reached oat aad laid it gently
over the canvas beyond left field. It
was the only home ran of the game
The David City battery was Mcintosh
and Wickart.
The festive tented season is once more
upon as and oar hearts beat in unison
with oar happy yoangBters in the glad
anticipation of again witnessing the
thrilling acts of trained athletes; the
antics of the perennially amusing clowns,
the marvelous intelligence of the highly
trained animals, and the fearsome, awe
some, yet fascinated wonder which
thrills our hearts when we gaze upon
the wild beasts confined in the mena
gerie. It is always an event when the
ever welcome Norris i Rowe's big shows
give exhibitions in this city, and this
season more than ever before will the
excitement run higher, for to the really
splendid show they brought as last sea
son, these clever young managers have
added a huge circus world in itself. It
contains gymnasts, acrobats, tumblers,
equilibrists, clowns, and athletes, whose
marvelous flights through the air will
prove spectacularly thrilling to the au
dience. The greater show is just twice
as large as it ever was before. It will be
given in two rings and upon an elevated
stage. A multitude of new features
never before presented in this country
will be shewn. It will contain a
menagerie of wild and native beasts
performing elephants, camels, lions, tig
ers, tapirs, llamas, buffaloes, kangaroos,
ostriches,- elk, deer, ponies, goats and.
monkeys, bat most wonderful of all will
be thrilling acts performed high up in
mid air by the athletes. Managers Har
ris and Rowe have secured this season
to make good their claim that they have
a big circus and though there has been
an enormous outlay of capital in order
to secure these acts aad novelties, no
other than the old established scale of
prices will prevsiL The mammoth new
tents will therefore rarely hold immense
audiences and this wt-.y will repay the
owners for their generous outlay. The
new big shows will give two perform
ances at ColumbfM, Monday, 3spt. 19.

M. Brugger received word Friday
that bis brother. TheophiL was miss
iag from his home ia Portland. Ore..

Lewis river while attempting to ford

dredged and everything done to find
the body, bat nothing more than the
horse he was riding could be found.
Theophil was a young man thirty-six
years of age, and had the promise of
a very brilliant future. He was a
graduate of the Nebraska state uni
versity, spent one year in study ia
Berlin, and from there weat to South
Africa, where he was manager of
mines for some time. He visited Aus
tralia aad other countries and returned
to tke Unite! States, completing a
trip around the world. He has lately
been teacher of sciences in the Port

Joaa Wasa, the ten-year-old son of
Mrs. Wass, a widow woman residing in

results were anticipated until yesterday

only case of lock-jaw in this community
for about ten years. The father of
young Wass died about one year ago.
Dr. Vosa is the attending physician.

M. Ms bar has riven as fmaa hi
well kept book the following state
meat for the year '69 aad '70. In the
spring of '69, 9500 were invested in
cows, tea ia number, and buttermak
ing began in March and ended in No
vember. During the season 1004
pounds of butter were sold at an aver
age of thirty cents per pound realiz
ing 9300. Ten calves from the cows
were worth 9160. The result of te
summer of '70 are equally encourag
ing. With a few changes, the most
of the milch cows kept over. Start
ing in the spring with twelve cows
whose value was 9600. the amount of
butter sold was 1441 pounds, at an
average valae nf 27 1-2 cents per pound.
9360.25; there were twelve calves, two
of which are not counted, one dvins?
by disease, the other being destroyed
by a mountain lion, whose valae was
9150 at least. The past season was
very unfavorable, being the dryest we
have had for several years.
From the Lincoln Journal we clip
the fallowing: ''Columbus sends
greetings to her sister towns and not
ifies them that she has gone and done
it. The greatest nuisance in Nebraska
has been abated, the barrier that sep
arated the two divisions of the state
in the spring and fall as effectually
as though the Atlantic rolled between
them, has been overcome the Platte
has been bridged. We hail with de
light this achievement of the plucky
little city, and congratulate her upon
the life aad prosperity that it justly
entitles aad enables her to enjoy. Co
lumbus has emerged from the cloud
that has so long settled over her pro
spects, and is bound to become one of
the busiest towns in the state. Let it
be remembered that in addition to
this enterprise the people of Platte
county have voted 9100,000 to another
bridge for the Nemaha Valley, Lin
coln & Loup Fork railroad, and 9100,
000 more to the railroad itself. Blood
will tell, and a city that shows this
kind of energy and public spirit can
not faiL"
