Domestic trouble which involves two of the oldest and most prominent fami lies of Colnmbus,culminatedFridaynii;ht in a street fight between Bont Speiceand Max Elias. The causes of the trouble have been greatly exaggerated by street gossip, and it was a combination of chance with a few slight but unfortunate circumstances, that made public a mat ter that should never hare passed out side the walls of home. The fight occurred in front of the Home Ilestaurant about six o'clock and opinions differ somewhat as to who started it. According to the best information available, Elias stopped in front of the restaurant where Speice was, to tell him that his wife was ill and needed him at home. A dispute arose and most of the eye-witnesses agree that Speice slapped Elias in the face, where upon Elias knocked Speice down across the seat in front of the Home Restaurant and then knocked him to the pavement. One of the first blows took effect behind Speice' s ear, dazing him so that he stag gered when he arose and was unable to make his blows effective. Mark Burke and others interfered as soon as they could and separated the pair. Bont Speice was taken by Gus Speice to the home of the latter, where his wounds were treated and Max Elias is nursing two badly bruised hands and a dislocated thumb as a result of his blows on Speice's head. Both parties have prominent connec tions in Columbus who, of course, are in no way involved in this unpleasant affair. But Max Elias has the approval of those who believe that the spirit of chivalry that prompted the knights of old to do battle for the weak and de fenseless, should throb in the hearts of men of this age and inspire like actions. Valuable Strike. Dr. H. A. Hansen, who is sole owner of the townsito Searchlight, Nevada, received a telegram Friday morning, announcing that water had been struck at the depth of 230 feet. Heretofore the 800 inhabitants of the town have been compelled to have water across the desert at a cost of $1.50 a barrel. The town is located on a solid granite base extending down ward hnndrede of feet, and no one. until Dr. Hansen took the matter in hand, has had the nerve to go np against the proposition of all through solid granite a cost of $15 a foot, with no idea of the depth at which water would be reached. Dr. Hansen says the well has1 cost him about $5000. Dr. Hansen has never invested in mining property, but the Quartette one or the largest gold mines in the United States adjoins his townsite at Searchlight. It is owned by a Boston syndicate and hap. "jronga ore in sight to keep it running Bight and day for fifty vears. The doctor says that stock in this comiiany which was offered him three years ago at ten cents a share now selling at seventeen dollars a share. The proximity of this mine to Searchlight taken in connection with the recent strike of water, will make Dr. Hansons property more valuable to him than a gold mine. City Couicil. The council meet Friday night was largely devoted to sidewalk matters. The council directed that property owners who had failed to repair de fective sidewalks be ordered to re move the old walks ana put down new ones. No action was taken in the matter of a lighting plant. The application of E. B. Pickhardt for a franchise to construct and operate a gas plant is under consideration. Mr. Pickhardt declares himself willing to furnish 85 -candle power gas lights for the streets at actual cost, which he puts at $7.00 per year each. For private uso he fixes a price of $1.25 to $1.50 per thousand cnbio feet. The coun cilman express themselves as being inclined to consider the matter very deliberatelv before taking action. In the words of Councilman J. H. Galley, they consider that when they grant a franchise for a lighting plant they are giving a very valuable privilege and the city should be compensated by au assurance of reasonable rates to the city and the citizens. Compulsory Education. Many people are not aware that Ne braska has a school law requiring every pupil of school age to attend consecutively two thirds of each school term, beginning the first day of the term. Supt. Leavy says that in Platte county there is little difficulty in enforcing the law. since a very large majority of the people believe in education and send their children either to the pub lic or the parochial schools. He says, however, that there are some cases of non-compliance with the law, and that it is the duty of the school di rectors as truant officers, to report those cases to him. The law is a good one, and public sentiment should en force it. Horrit ft Bowes Shows. The Norris and Rowe circrs drew a large crowd to Columbus Monday. The street parade this forenoon was wit nessed by thousands of people and was very creditable. The show is about a third larger than it was when it was here last year and appears to be free from most of the objectionable fea tures of the average show of the kind. The Columbus schools were dismis sed in the afternoon to permit the children to attend. Large crowds are coming in to see the night exhibition. PLANT THE BEST FOR SEED. J. H. Drinnen has some seed wheat for sale, of the Turkey Bed variety, free from rye, and foreign seeds; Price $1,00 per. bu. Call at the Home Farm 5 miles northeast of this City. A Columbus Troupe.

They have prepared a good line of paper and photographic advertising. The mate will be first to South Da kota, thence west to Caspar, Wyoming, and return through western and cen tral Nebraska. They will appear in Columbus at the opera house in the ear future, and should receive a lib real patronage from Columbus people. Mr. Tomson says that he has got together a company of ladies and gentlemen, a clean, strong company which will deserve the support of everyone. Cannon Reception.

The seniors were out selling lecture course tickets for the first this year. They are consulting with represen tatives of different lecture bureaus and arranging the course, and it is probable William Hawley Smith and Zack Sweeney will be among the list. The school children enjoyed a half holiday yesterday because of the cir cus. Among those who entered the ninth grade since school began are: Fred Albert, Vernon Broken and Durward Davis. The non-resident pupils of the High I school this year are Sadie Wilson, Katie Kinsman, Ernest Bonner, Ward Powell and Claude Kinsman. E. O. Garrett, representing the American Book Company called at the high school to-day. J. Roy Ellison visited the high school to-day in the interest of the Redpatn Lyceum Bureau. Miss Grace Bloom and Alfred Pues chel are doing special work in Botany. There seems to be a demand for a lecture course this year as before, since in that way a good grade of tal ent is secured at a minim nm price. For this reason the members of the senior grade have made arrangements for a lecture course consisting of five memoes. The officers elected are Roy Stires, president; Lillian Adams, secretary ; and Mamie Elliot, treasuer. The price for season tickets will-, be one dollar for adnlts and seventy-five cents for school children. The lecture course of previous years has not been a financial success, bnt, through the patronage of the pnblic, it is hoped that it will be this year. Business Changes. The dry goods stock of Louis Sch wartz on thirteenth street was sold Wednesday night to Homer Robinson. The invoice is in progress and will be completed, probably, Saturday night. Mr. Robinson will continue the busi ness. Mr. Schwartz has been a resi dent of Columbus since 1874 and has been engaged successfully in the dry goods business at his present location for fonr years. He sold out through a desire to retire from active business. Mr. Robinson who is known through out central Nebraska as a successful traveling, dry goods salesman, is mas ter of the business he has purchased, and besides, he possesses that magic touch which makes things "go." rrig jumps after ball which is 60C feet in air.

Dack Druggist Damage Suit. The suit of Mrs. Lillie Edmonason, administratrix of the estate of Cam eron Edruondson, deceased, againBt the Union Pacific railroad, filed in the district court of Merrick county last March, has been transferred to the district court of Platte county for trial. Joseph W. Herod, foreman of the Union Pacific round house, is joined with the railroad comiiany as co-defendant. This suit grows out of circumstances with which Columbus people are fa miliar. In October 1903, Cameron Edmondson, the plaintiff's husband brakesman on the Spalding branch, was run over by the train at Spalding and killed. The plaintiff alleges that he was thrown from the top of a car, while switching, because the air brakes failed to work properly in stopping the moving cars, and that the defendants are guilty of negligence in sending ont a faulty engine. She asks for $5,000 damages. The defendants tried to have the case removed to the United States court, on technical grounds, but it was remanded to the district court. Boone County Fair.

BIGGEST EVENT OF THE CAMPAIGN CANNON AND WATSON TO SPEAK Specials will Be Ram ea All Reads- CaerMsataa McCarthy aad ILecal Caadidat.s. The Republican state central com mittee, co-operating with the Platte county central committee and the Roosevelt Club, have made arrange ments for one of the largest an.l most important political meetings ever held in Columbus, for the evening of Sep tember 28th. The principal speaker of the even ing will be the Hon. Joseph G.Cannon, who as speaker of the national house of Representatives during the past four years, has made a record that entitles him to a place in the front rank of statesmen and orators of this age. Mr .Cannon's oratory is of that "rongh and ready" stylo that made Abraham Lincoln the idol of the com mon eopIe and that has made Mr. Canon famous the world over under the title of "Uncle Joe". It is no exaggeration to Kay that no other living man in American politics has so striking a personality as that of " Undo Joo" and that he has no peer on the stump. Whorevor he goes he attracts crowds, scarcely second to Roosevelt. As a leading character in the world's political field he will attract democrats and republicans alike And " Undo Joe" is not the only attraction that will be worth coming miles for. The Hon. Jas. E. Watson, congressman of Indiana one of the most polished orators in the United States will speak. And this is not all. What should in terest Platte county voters more than the presenco of these "biggest men", is the fact that Congressman McCar thy and the Platte connty republican candidates will be there to give an accounting of themselves. Congress man McCarthy has made a record in congress for alertness for the interest of his constituency and that has won many friends for him among the democrats and they will all want to hear him at tbo Cannon rally. The Republican administration in Ne braska for the past two years has made a proud record for itself in the en actment of tho Ramsey bill in the in terest of farmers' elevators, in the enactment of a revenue law that saves money to the individual taxpayer who is honest, by forcing delinquents to pay up and by raising the valua tions oi railroads and other corpor ations. This administration also has made a record for economy of which it fo proud. Joseph Henggler is tho man select ed in Platte county by the republicans to send to the legislature to continue this good record. Mr. Henggler will be on hand to speak for himself at this meeting. Special rates will be given on all roads. Large delegations will be hero from Fremont, Grand Island and from.ull the towns in Boone and Nance counties. It will be a big day for the business men and a grand time for everybody. Don't forget tho date, September 28th. See that elegant line of fall street hats at fie Royal Millinery- O. C.
