From Albion.
FrMny'e Daily!
Albion, Nebr., Mav 17th 11K)5
(Special) The people of this city feel
highiv honored by the election ofCapt.
F .7 Mack of Company "M" of the
Nebraska NationalGuards to the office
of Major of the -ml Regiment. In an
interview with the newly elected
Major we find tbe following concern
ing bis military career.
In December lv.is while the mili
tary spirit created bv tbe brilliant suc
cess of the American arms in tne war
with Spain was still holding the peo
ple of onr country under the spell,
Company "M" was organised at Al
bion and all of the young men of the
community of the best class took ac
tive part in thu success of the com
pany. At that time M. W. McGann
was Captain. W. S. Jolly 1st Liea
tenant and F.j. Mack 2nd Lieutenant.
Mr. Jolly (tied and Mr. McGann re
signed his office in the company and
this made Mack Captain and for five
years the company prospered under
bis leadership. And today Company
M" is In the first rank of the good
companies of tbe state and it is through
the direct efforts of Captain Mack
that the same has nourished.
On May l.lth r.ti. at Lincoln the
Taptain received tbe election of Major
of tbeKecimenrand it is claimed -br
those high iu militia authority that'
Major Mack is one of the most popu
lar officers in the service !n Nebraska.
The friends of the Major are jubilant
over bis success and wbile he takes
the honors in tbo democratic manner
that be always does feels a great deal
of satisfaction in knowing that his
ellorts in behalf of the Militia have
been appreciated.
Mr. Mack is a young man and has
lived in Albion for the last fifteen
vears. He has had all the honors pos
sible in this community heaped upon
him and is now holding the Office of
Clerk of tbe District Court of Boone
county. He was electedMayor of this
city by a good majority while at the
same election the ticket he was runn
ing on was defeated by several votes
which goes to demonstrate that his
personality counts.
The result of this election is that
tbe Officers of Company" M" will move"
up and this will leave Mr. W. S. Price
Assistaht Cashier of the Albion Na
tional Rink Captain of the'Company,
As be has been one of the Captain's
best officers as 1st Lieutenant the fu
ture of tbe company is still in good
bauds. It is bis hope to be able to
build a fine armory fur tbe guards at
Aibion and he is putting forth an
effort to secure the State Shoot on the
range at this ioint as nature has pro
vided a place one mile south of town
where a pofect rifle range could be
mad at but little expense.
Lieutenant Colonel W. R. McLaugh
lin will be in Albion on the 3th to
cond uct a target practice and from the
resulting score will choose a team
from our coufpnny to compete in the
State Shoot and from them a team
will be selected to go to Seagrist N.
.7. for tbe National Shoot. The boys
here feel confident that some of this
company will represent Nebraska at
that tournament.
Whistle Stuck.

Enciae No. ITOj, which is one of
tne mogul type and accustomed to the
hauling cf heavy freight trains be
tween Omaha and Grand Island with
Engineer Punja and FiremeanMurphy
in the seats of responsibility came in
from the west last night at the head
of a train of about CO cars of live
stock and frnit and most every one in
in town knew it when the train arriv
ed. The reason is that as the train whis
tled out of Silver Creek, the whistle
became, stuck open and continued to
blew for at least two hours making
tbe night hideous with the nnacens
omed noise.
On arriving in Columbus the en
gine was put in the hands of a ma
chineet and continual attempts were
made to stop the noise, bnt the whis
tle continued till it became necessary
to change engines and No. lS'JLjtook
the freight into Omaha, while No.

(Thanday's Daily)
Harry Bratt. bookkeeper in the First
National Bask of Genoa disappeared
last night at ten o'clock and on trace
of hi can bo found. Bernard Gor
man, cashier of the bank, told a
Journal reporter over the phone this
afternoon that the whole matter was
a mystery, as everything was all
straight at the bank and no suspicion
of any kind bad ever rested on Mr.
Bratt.
He went hoaw at ten o'clock and
went to his room as asuaL That was
the last seen of hint. It was discov
ered this morning that the bed had
not been occupied and the bank keys
and a few dollars of pocket'money
were found in the room:
Mr. Gorman says that young Bratt
had appeared to be brooding over
something for tbe but two months,
but that nothing was thought of that
as he was always a quiet yoang man.
Bratt is about twenty-four years old
and has always been very attentive
to business. He owned stock In hiB
father's bank at Bennet and had ex
cellent prospects.
His father, A. Eratt is one of the
wealthiest men in Nance county and
his family is one of the most highly
respected in Genoa.
Attempted Burglary.
Wednesday evening, as Mark Rath
burn was going home after the Hart
party, when passing the home of his
brother, W. W. Rathburn. he saw
his brother's wife run out of the
house. Mr. Rathbarn stopped to in
vestigate and Mrs. Rathburn told him
that a strange man had entered her
house by the window and had pre
sented a pistol at her. A friend. Mrs.
Kelly, who was staying with her.
ran out of the house, and Mrs. Rath
barn engaged in a struggle with tbe
supposed burglar, in which she was
painfully braised about the head and
neck. Neighbors saw the man leave
the house, bat no clew to his identity
is known.
Bratt letunn.
(Friday's Daily)
Harry Bratt.the Geaoa bank cashier
whoae disappearance night before last
caused so much excitement and alarm,
returned to his home inGenoa at 10 :30
last night.
Mr. t Bratt said that the day had
been a perfect blank to him until
about five o'clock in the evening when
he found himself on the river bank
near tne Loap bridge about two miles
from home. The but be remembered,
he said, was going to his room the
night before. He spent five hours
after he came to himself in making
his way over the two - miles to his
home.
Great relief is felt among his friends
over Mr. Bratt's safe return. He is
highly esteemed in his community
and no breath of suspicion has ever
been raised against him in his busi
ness dealings. His books at the bank
were found to be O. K. The only
explanation is that he was suddenlv
attacked by some form of temporary
aberration and wandered to the river.
Opening Game.
(Monday's Daily)
Before a crowd of over five hundred
oase nan enthusiasts uoiumbns yes
terday went down in defeat at the
hands of nine husky players from
Fremont. The day was an ideal one
for the game and every man. woman
and chila present got' more than the
worth of their money even if the lo
cals had to take the short end of tbe
score. Manager Corbett and Captain
Harry made everv provision possible
to make tbe opening game a success
and it was, though the score would
have been more pleasing had the big
number been placed to the credit of
the home boys. As it was, it was a
good game, the locals showing up
well for tbe first game and against a
team which has been playing the
past two months and composed of sev
eral salaried players. Young Will
Dolan pitched the game for Colum
bus and did a saperb job. His con
trol, speed and delivery was far above
his opponent, bnt miserable support
by tbe home boys was the cause of
his loaing his game. He struck out
ten of the Fremont players, allowed
them but seven hits and yet with all
this good record had to meet defeat
and he did it with a smile. Eaongh
said, the localu did well, the Fre-
monters did better. The score:

The School Gymnasium.
iTriilaj Daily
At the meeting of tbe scbiol beard
yesterday Superintendent Ktrn pre
sented bis leport recommending the
appropriation of suflicient money to
build the high school gymnasium
for which $700 has been subscribed
by citizens of Columbus.
The building contemplated will be a
wing added to the hir.h school build
ing on the berth. Besides gymnastic
equipment it is proposed to have for
ges for work in manual training. The
estimated ccst is near 3,000. with
$700 already raised by popular sub
scription. The district has already sufficient
surplus en hand to pay for build
ing, even with a levy onlv hatf as
large as tbe law permit". The board
received the proposition as favorably
as the general public had done before
and the committee en buildings was
instructed to prepare an estimate.
The only member who opposed was.
Mr. Leavy. He argued against the
proposed improvement on the ground
of economy- He also talked against
it on the ground that the proposed
building was cot elaborate enough.
Tbe other members are strongly in
favor of the gymnasium and it is
practicallv a certainty that it will
be built this summer.
Snp't Eern also recommended that
one additional teacher be emplovcd
in the high school and one in the pri
mary department ; and further that the
Eighth grade be transfered from the
Second ward building to the high
school buiidins, putting the new pri
mary department in the Second ward
building. All these recommenda
tions will probably be accented and
carried out by tbe bonrd.

Judge Albert Hu Operatiea.
(Tbo1aj-. Daily)
An operation for appendicitis was
performed yesterday on Judge I. L.
Albert. The operation was entirely
successful, and Mr. Albert's condition
has been most favorable freaa the time
the operation was completetd. At one
o'clock today he was sleeping quietly
and his condition was entirely satis
factory. It was not generally known
that Judge Albert was oontemnlating
an operation or even suffering from
the disease. He has been preparing
for the one rat ion for the past week
He was not confined to hit bed, but
since the operation waa conidered
necessary it waa thought best to get
through with it before the disease

High School Festivities..
(Monday's Dailj)
The Freshmen of tbe high school
went out to Mcpherson's lake Satur
day for a picnic. "AH was merry aa a
marriage bell until six sophomores,
one junior and one senior appeared
on the scene. At this point historians
begin to differ. The sophs maintain
that they got away with some of the
provender of the picnickers, which
the freshmen deny. Both sides agree
that there waa a scrap that was worth
any man's time, and that Prof Mc
Coy, who had gone as chaperoa. did
valiant service in defending the im
pedimenta nf tbe camp. There seems
to be agreement also on the point
that one Freshie was heaved bodily
into the lake.
A rough report of the casualties has
it that McAllister had a nice bump
developed on his he id with a club in
the bands of a voung lady, Dickinson
got baptized, Betterton received a
bloody note ana Prof. McCoy's shirt
was badly scattered.
Tolay everybody is goodnatured
and harmony is in evidence. The
Freshman party was composed of
twelve boys and ten girls. Miss Seg
elke and Prof. McCoy chaperoned the
crowd.
S. 0. P. H.
(Monday's Daily)
It has just reached the ears of a
Journal reporter that seven sweet girls
of our city are near the hair pulling
point toward each otber. It happened
like this: Tbe seven girls met a few
months ago r.t the home of one of tbe
members and after pulling tbe blinds
'--' knowns that no one was near
u 1 wHled to form a secret order of
the.
own. Why they picked on an
unlucklv number no one knows bat the
abrupt termination of the order proves
still more the numbers seven-come-eleven
or either thirteen seldom win.
The organization was successfully
formed and the punch bowl was
brought in to properlv christen the
new made order "S. O. P.H." which
letters when properly interpreted
means "still on papa's hands." The
meeting closed with every secret firm
ly locked in the heart of every mem
ber and as time went on the new born
order seemed to work much to the
benefit of honored members. Lately
there has been a coolness among the
seven and the climax was reached just
the other evening when one of our
prominent bachelors bntted in with
the proposition that he would marry
any one of .the girls, which, orf a
secret ballot, the club should elect to
be bis wife. A special meeting was
arranged and after considerable nerv
ous agitation decided that the rules y
of tbe order be amended so that tbe
"old batch" might be admitted into
the lodge as honorary member and set
at the head of the table.
When the time arrived for the bal
lotting away of one cf the members,
each girl took a slip of paper and en
tered intoa corner and did her best to
disguise her band writing. Each mem
ber cast a vote and each girl received
a vole.
The bachelor is si ill a bachelor, the
(dub is br ken up and the girls are
mortal enemies. This whole story
came from one of the members and on
promise that no name be used tbe

MAYOR OF PHILADELPHIA USES
DRASTIC MEASURES.
DISMISSES TWO FROM OFFICE
Quaker City Executive Removes Un
faithful Servants Outgrowth of the
Fight Against Leasing City Gas
Plant for Seventy-five Years.
Philadelphia, May 24. In bis effort
to defeat tbe consummation oi tho
plan to lease the city gas works to
the United Gas Improvement com
pany for seventy-five years for ?2.".
000.000. Mayor Weaver dismissed from
fflce David J. Smyth, the director or
the department of public safety, and
Peter E. Costello. the director of tbe
department of public works. The
mayor has announced that he is in tbe
Ight to the bittes end. which means
that A great political battle is now on
and will be carried to the polls next
November. In his fis;ht against the
gas lease, and tbe Republican organi
zation, the mayor has called in as
counsel Elihu Root of New York. Each
dismissed director rceied $1U.0 a
year and together they bail control
of 10,000 officeholders. It is not likely
that the citv council wdl confirm the
men appointed by tbe mayor, but they
will hold the office ad interim. The
two dismissed directors refused to
use their influence to help the mayor
in bis anti-gas lease fight and this led
the mayor to ask the directors for
their resignations.

the terrific nervous strain of continued
