It seems better this year than ever. Perhaps this is due to the im proved quality of wheat. It makes whiter, sweeter bread than I can make irom any foreign floor I evernsed." This statement was made by the wife of a prominent farmer living near Co Iambus, a few days ago. in speaking of the Way Up flour, made by the Co iwbrs Soller Mills. i!T ii Mrs. Brcdboll Gets Ho Damages Xo Cause of Action Case Will Be Appealed. The S10.0G0 damage suit of Mrs. E. A. Brodboll of Lindsay against JoEih Ducey, Br. D. G. Walker and E. C. Fitzsimmons of the same place was called Thnrsday morning, tne jury hav ine been selected Wednesday. This case or rather the circumstances whi.'h form the foundation for it have at-1 tracted wide attention and the pro- ' gress of the trial will be watched j with eager interest. j The circumstances as alleged in the plaintiff's Testimony to-day, verified for the most part by other witnesses of the plaintiff, may be briefly stated i j as follows: On the night of July 17, J a window was shot out of the front of Brodboll's banK at 2:30 in the morning. The plaintiff, who lives with her husband above the bank, stopping only to put on a skirt ovr her night clothing and her shoes, ran down stairs to see what was up. Hearing the foot steps of two men on the sidewalk, and recognizing the voice of Joseph Ducey, she Mrs. Brcdboll testified that she thought to get him to help find out the culprit. Following in tho direction of the familiar voice she went to Reed's livery barn where was a light and where she found Joseph Dncey and E. C Fitzsimmons in conversation. Just then her son Paul came up with a rifle. She charged the two defendau-s named with the shooting, and her testimony is that Ducey said "I admit the corn " Then Mrs Brodboll stated that Ducev took the rifle away from 1 " 1 her son and that she started to the residence of Dr. Walker, chairman of the village council, to get him to help her. On reaching the house, her tes timony is that she found Ducey there in conversation with the doctor and that both were laughing. When she appealed to Dr. Walker for ail, she declares that Ducey deputizen him to help arrest her and her son Paul who in the meantime'had come up. Her testimony is tnat the doctor was completely dressed, though he were night clothing over his other clothing and that he immediately came out and helped Dncey take h-ir and her son to tho village jail, in spite of her struggles to resist them during which her clothintr was torn from her shoulders. Owing to a de fective lock the jail door could net be opened and ..he and her son were held outside the jail by Dncey un'il day light when Ducey departed, ordering them to stay there till nine o'clock under pain of being shot if he found them away from the jail and promis ing that Le would tae them to the Justice court to pay their fine at that time. Dncey failed to appear again at the appointed time and on going voluntarily to the Justie's office they found no complaint filed. This forms the main part of the tes timony submitted to support the charge for which the plaintiff asks 10.C00 for. The defense in the Brodboll $10,OC0 damage case had their turn in court Friday. The entire day was consumed in the examination and cross-esamin-ation of their witnesses. The circum stances used by the Dlaintiff witnesses yesterday were used hy the witnesses of the defense to develop an entirely different and contradictory theory. The chief witnesses for the defense were Dr. Walker E. Fitzsimmcn, Joseph Ducey, J. E. Wempie, L. G. Winkler, Chas. Kopetz, M. J. F.ae makea, Mrs. D. Andrews, Mrs. D. G. Walker, and Mrs. J. J. Ducey. The testimony of these witnesses taken Together tended, to show that Joe Ducey, village marshall, arrested Mrs. Brcdboll and her son Paul and took them to the jail, because Paul Brodboll had pointed a rifle at Ducey in the Reed livery stable, where Mrs. Brodboll charged Ducey with shoot ing ouS the bank window ; and for the f nrther reason that Mrs. Brodboll is alleged to have slapped Ducey dur ing the scuffle at Dr. Walker's resi dence in which Mrs. Brcdboll attempt ed to recover the rifle taken from her son at the Reed stable. The defense introduced testimony tending to prove also that Ducey tried to file complaint in due form with Justice Kopetz, and to show that Ducey was called from his bed by telephone as was fitzsimmons, by Mrs. Andrews ma nager of the tele phone exchange, who was aroused by the shooting at the bank. Dr. Walker and his wife testified that he dressed after Ducey came to his house to get him to help take the $10,000 DAMAGE SO Brodbolls to jail, and denied that he Sarah A. Scott toEM. Win was fully tlressed wearing his night I slow. 1 bl $ Becher Place ad clothes on the outside of his usual SSnTto W. Emerson, ciotnmg, as ine piaimui. a icamuuL..y tended to show. The defense also tried to show that violence was net used in conducting Mrs. Brodboll to the jail and that Ducey was not drunk. The defense also denied that Ducey said" 1 admit the cora", when charged with doing the shooting. The cross examination of the de fendants witnesses by the plaintiff's attorneys wad most rigid. And the ex citement was intense when attorney McAllister suddenly referred in the examiation of Dr. Walker, to the re vocation of the latter's license by rhe state beard medical, because cf charges of malpractice and unprofessional: conduct. At this point Judge Pest interposed on behalf of hit client to show that the ruling of the state board had been set aside by the district court. ' Another sensation was sprung, when E. Fitzsimmons was asked point blank. ' if b. Dacey and Dr. Walker had not in. : on the day previous to the shoot ing, and planned the shooting with the , idaa of either arresting the Brod bolls ; when they &hoald appear upon the scene of rhe excitement, or to steal I away the girl in Erodbol's honse, ' who was to appear against the doctors j at Madison three days later on a ser- j iocs charge. The case has been j fought vigorously on both sides and will be argued to-morrow. HO DAMAGES. After being out two hours Friday, the jury in the Brcdboll damage case j agreed on a verdict in favor of the , defondaat, finding "no cause ot action, ' and ordering plaintiu to pay the costs. The verdict was an- J nounced when court convened at nine r o'clock fthi3 morning, rlaintin s at- torneys have filed a motion for a new trial and will appeal the case if a new trial is denied by the court. Making Headway. 1 -The committee on ways and means appointed by the Woman's club to plan with Sup't Kern and Principal Bntellfora gymnasium for the public schools met Monday evening in the rooms for tha public library. The com mittee consists of Mrs. M. Brugger, Mrs. A. Jaeggi, Mrs. R. S. Dickinson, Mrs. L. C. Voss and Mrs. J. G. Reed er. The advisability and probable re suit of attempting to raise $500 by popular subscription to be presented to tho board of education net only as evidence of the conviction on the part of the public that a gymnsium is needed but as a substantial bonus to be used in building or equipping the same was discussed. An amount somewhere between $1500 and 2000 in addition would be required to com plete the building and this tha board of education would be expected to provide. Of course the building would be school property and would be used not only as a gymnasium but as a lecture hall for holding debates, evening programs, lectures, etc. It is believed that every family having boys or girls in the grammar grades or ia the high school would be will- , in to contribute toward the building of such a gymnasium, if for no other reason than a puxely selfish one the direct gain to their own children in 1 health, scholarship and the pleasure i of school life. An attempt has been 1 made in the past to open and operate j in Columbus a public gymnasium unaer the management of the Y. M. , C. A., such as is fennd in Fremont, Grand Island, Beatrice, and other' enterprising towns, but snch attempt ended ia failure and financial loss to ( the managers. A gymnasium in con- j nection with the public schools will be of far greater value, will reach more homes, will exert a greater in fluence for good, and will guarantee , regular systematic physical training . for the boys and girls of Columbus ' at the time when it is most needed, needed, besides assuring parents that their boys are in eood hands instead j of loafing in the streets a thing they never knew when their boys left home . .... .- ... t,i- ' ot a nignc to attend tne puuiic gym nasium. This morning wa are informed that ? 100 of the oC0 has already been pro vided for . I those in charge confi dently belie rbat the remaining amount will fce forthcoming. Seal Estate Transfers.

A general meeting of the Woman's Club was held Satuiday afternoon at the home of Mrs. W. A. McAllister. The musical department of the club hud charge of the prcgram which was made one of the nist interesting ever enjoyed bv the club. Vocal numbers were given by Mrs Reeder.Mrs.GIeason and Miss Galley; vocal duets by Mesdames Farrand and Freydig and Mesdames Garlow and Heintz; piano numbers by Misses Florence Whitmoyer and Mrs. Jaeggi ; and a violin selection by Mrs. Mc Allister. The business session following the musical proeram wns cue of consider able importance. The ladies took up the question of a gymnasium for the High School which is being considered bv the Board of Educaticn.and placed themselves on record in favor of the proposition not only morally, but thsy appointed a conimitttee to confer with the Eoard of Education and to do what they can toward raising the necessary funds. The p as seems to be to offer to raise a part of the necessary funds by private subscrip tion and ask the Board for the bal ance. It is estimated that the build ing would cost from s"0C0 to $5CC0. The iractical advantages to be de rived frcm such an investment war rants the ladies in the -belie! that their plan will meet with general approval. Th club also decided to give two entertainments during" tLo month of January to finish paying for the drinking fountain. The Columbus Woman's Clnb usually gets what it goes after. It is therefore safe to predict a High School Gymnasium for the near future.

Eastnn was thrown rrcm a lead of hay this morning near his home on East Eleventh street, and is laid up with a sprained ankle as a result. He was returning home with his lead, when his team became restless. In catching up the lines, he got hold of but one, turning tha team abruptly and over turning the wagon. NO STREET LIGHTS YET, New Gas Plant Fall TbreasTh-Scad Tot Attarmey Fees. Columbus seems to bo doomed to darkness so far as the preheat man agement of the gas plant is concerned. Judge Sullivan has attached the ground and building of the company for legal services. The contractor has quit work and it is understood will have to depend upon a mechanic's lien to get his money Many and various rumors ara current on the streets as to causes of these difficulties and some of them attribute it to careless ness on the mrt of the city council and city attorney. It is difficult to find out any thing about the situa tion. It may be said truthfully, how ever, that the city will not lose a penny through tho failure cf the com pany to prosecute its work, therefore no blame can attach to the council or city attorney. The terms of the ordinance required that work should begin within thirty days and be com pleted on the gas main within ninety days. If the companv fails to com plete the work for lack of funds or any other reason, that act in itself casts no reflection on the business irethods of the council, or upon their wisdom in granting the franchise. Nor should this failure throw any water on the forts of other companies or the city itself to undertake the ttork. The present city council com prisrs our leading business men, and these men are giving the lighting question their best attention. The Journal believes in their ability to handle this question better than the man with the hammer. They will work it out right in the end. SPECTACLES FOUND Some pa trcn cf the public library left a pair of geld spectacles in a magazine, re turned to the library. The owner can have same by proving property. 1-3 Fried aof and Mr?.

Diess has filed a peti tion in district court praying to have certain real estate sold, sufficient to raise $il.'Jl which the plaintiff, ad administrator, alleges that he paid cut of his own funds for the funeral expenses of the deceased. Miss Elizabeth Sheldon was in Lin coln yesterday attending the meeting of the executive committee of the Federation of Woman's Clubs, of whieh she is recording secretary. There were present- seven membra of the committee. The next meeting of the Federation will Le htld in Lin coln next Owtober. WASHING STOLEN.- A large uart of the weekly washing was stolen from tha clothes line in the yard or Eont Speice Monday evening. Mrs. apeice was away frcm home from four to seven o'clock, bat neighbors saw the clothing on the line about six o'clock and it is supposed they were taken be tween that hoar and seven o'clock. All of the best and newest clothes were secured by the thief. The Daughters of the Eing of the Episcopal Church, met at the heme of Mrs. E. H. Chambers last Monday night for their second annual election of officers, airs. Chas Snow was elected presiden', Mrs. Chambers, secretary and Mrs. Anderson, treas urer. This organization devotes its attention to the spiritual welfare of the church. During its short history in Columbus, early communion has been held and the organization has presented the church with a beauti ful processional cross. For some time Dr. Paul has folt the need of mere room and last week com pleted a deal with Mr. Niewohner whereby he comes into posession of the entire upper floor over Niewoh ner's store fGr a term of years. This has necessitated a good many changes and things have been pretty badly torn up in the Doctor's rooms this week. A partition has been put through the larze front room making a very light operating rcom and laboratory, two very essential things to a dentist. These two rooms are be ing fitted with all of the latest appli ances for the relief and prevention of pain in dental operations. The elec trician for preparing cavities, the water power lathe for the laboratory and the fountain cuspidor have been moved to the new rooms. New plumb ing has been installed and new steam radiators placed. No change has been made in the entrace to reception rocm which remains the same as it has al ways been. This certainly is a very choice location and the Doctor is making a model office of it. Christmas HandJcerchiefs. 1700 dozen, from 1 cent up.

The Polk county bridge across the south channel cf the Platte was com pleted Saturday. This, like all other. of Mr. Handy 's contracts, gives gen eral satisfaction. The Polk county people even claim that Mr. Means, the superintendent of the work, have given them a better bridge than the "Pioneer" Platte bridge.

The Columbus Journal says Colum bus has no society men, that the hus bands of Columbus society women are either too old, tco awkward or too green to be invited to share with their wives the joys of gay society life. It's the same way in Fremont. Time was when the husbands could go to parties and know what to say and what to do with their hands, but the society fashion has now so changed that they are no longer in societv except that of each other at the clubs and Iodses. Their wings were so well started under the old regime you could hang your hat on them, but, als, these rudimentary pinions are vanishing. Fremont Tribune. CONTRACT. Chas Wurdeman se cured the contract yesterday, for sup erintending the construction of a fine large school building for the St. Francis Sisters at Humphrey. The structure is to be built of brick and stone at a cost of $4C.C0O. Ic will be erected just west of the present build ing, and is to be completed in about ore year from. now. Mr. Wordeman says the work on it will probably not begin before spring. The contract has not yet been let for the materials. Mr. Wcrdaman's excellent ability as a superintendent was so ably demon strated in his work upon the hospital in this city, that his services have been in demand since that building was completed.
