School cf Agriculture.
Commencing January i, l'.tCl, the
University of Nebraska offers a course
cf instruction in the principles and
practice cf agriculture. The course
cover- the subjects of soils, field crops,
dairvincr. better and cheese making,
breed-: and judging of live stock,
disease if firm animal, horticulture,
ehop work, farm machinery, and
English. No examinations are requir
ed for entrance.
It would seem that many stuuents
from this county should attend ami
take advantage of the instruction ou
eretl. lor the knowledge gained will
not onlv enable young farmers to cet
beter "returns from their land but
will also he'p them save money in

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

"JAToman's Clb lay oat Important
Work Public Entertainments
to pay for Drinking Foun
tain. 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.

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.

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

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.

Jacob Schram has opened a very
good assortment of ready made cloth
ing, boots and shoes etc., in Holman's
building.
We are indebted to Col. G. W.
Stevens for the first dish cf straw
berries of the season. Mr. Stevens
will have under cultivation, the com
ing year, ten acres of small fruit
of every kind which he proposes sell-
; ing to the good people of Columbus.
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.
Mr. Marmoy. at the meat market,
has had constructed a very fine, air
tight ice room for the preservation of
beef during hot summer days. The
ice is not brought into contact with
the meat, but is placed in the Tiom.
and gives a very cool atmosphere to
kept sweet.

ty Missouri, May 25, of typhoid fever.

Educational Notes.
The pupils of the ninth grade are
enjoying ( ?) a series of examinations
in arithmetic.
The junior grade is beginning the
subject of philosophy. Hazel Millard
of the junior grade will also take it.
The board of education has recently
expended about seventy-five dollars
for apparatus to be used in the junior
philosophy. They are as follows:
Hydrometers, Balances, Electric pen
dulum (seconds), Specific Gravity
apparatus. Boyle's Law apparatus.
Linear Expansion apparatus, and other
electric apparatus.
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.
