Marcos H. White.
Marcus H. White, one of the old set
tlers of Columbus, passed to his final
rest last Wednesday night at six o'clock.
Mr. White for several years had Itean
afflicted with Bright's disease and rrcent
ly hesrt failure was added to his other
troubles.
Maraus H. White was born at Sidney,
Ontario, December 15, 1844. In 1874 he
came to Columbus and for years con
ducted a harness business on the corner
now occupied by the Columbus State
Bank. After residing here for fifteen
years he moved to Washington with his
family, remaining there until two years
ago when he returned to Columbus, built
a fine residence on his four hundred
acre north of Columbus and was plan
ning other improvements at the time of
hi- death.
He leaves besides his wife, two chil
dren, Mi-H Erne and Hilton.
The whole character story of Mr. White
was told in his dying words to ins fam
ily, "I want to do the right thing. '"
lloneetv and integrity characterized his
entire life and he had hosts of frt nds
among th- older residents of this city
The funeral service was -ondncted at
the Congregational church bv Rev.
M uira m Friday afiemo n Lebanon
lodge, A. F. & A. M. attended the service
in .a body and at the cemetery took
charge of the burial.
Will B- Dale.
Will B. Dale was born September 25.
1840, in Albany, N. Y. and died March
30, 1906, Columbus, Neb., after two
week's illness from cancer of the throat.
He came to Columbus, Neb., in the
spring of 1866, when Columbus was on
the frontier and from that date for many
years he was ptominentlj identified
with the growth and development of
this town. In 1867 he was married to
Miss Caroline Biokly. daughter of
John Rickly.
In bis younger manhood he was
full of energy and enterprise,
a strong, forceful character. For
several years after coming to Colum
bus he was engaged in mercantile
business, and later for many rears he
was General Agent for the Diabold
Safeco.
In 1869 he served the village in the
capacity of mayor, and in the same
year, he with Mr. Whaley, long
since deceased, was instrumental in
founding the Epsicopal church at this
place ; thus proving that his interests
were not alone in temporal things. The
deceased was also identified with the
educational interests of the state, be .
ing a member of the first board of
regents of the State Universty of Ne
braska after the state had been ad
mitted to the union. He also served
as Grand Chancellor of the Knights
of Pythias of Nebraska one term.
Mr. Dale was long a familiar figure
at the County Court house. It is very
remarkable and speaks forcibly of his
efficiency and integrity that he held
there some clerical position for a term
of sixteen years from 1880 to 1896. From
1880-4 he was in the employ of J. N.
Early in County Treasurer's office.
From 1884-1890 with John Stauffer,
County Clerk. From 1890-1896 with
G. W. Phillipps in office of County Clerk.
In 1896 he started the Columbus
"Times," a weekly newspaper, which he
continued to publish until 1904, when
by arrangement with the Columbus
Journal, it was discontinued. From
this time until his ' death he has lived
quietly, greetiLg his friends and inter
esting himself as an observer in passing
events.
Mr. Dale leaves two brothers one Gus
Dale of Lawrence, Kan., and one John
Dale of Victoria, III. Also two sitters
Mrs. Catharine Wermutb, of Oak Park,
111., and Mrs. Levis Ferback of Wad
dens Grove, 111., aud one greatly beloved
daughter. Courtney E. Dale now living
with her mother in Omaha.
Mr. Dule will not soon be forgotten in
Columbus Those of us who knew him
at all well will long remember his hearty
hand clasp, his ready kindness, and his
nnfailing courtesy. He was of a gener
ous nature, though his generosity was
of the impulsive, spontaneous, and not
the ordered sort. He was a ready and
fluent speaker, aim ays prepared to say
something on any subject of general in
terest. He had a word of appreciation
for the firemen, a word of cheer and
encouragement at the conventious of his
county partisans, and a word of ringing,
hearty patriotism at the gatherings of
the Grand Army of the Republic. His
was a ready voice and a ready pen, aud
he was for many years a force in Colum
bus that could not be overlooked
The funeral was held Sunday afternoon
at the residence of J. G. Becher, who was
a nephew of Mr. Dale, Rev. Munro con
ducting the service. The local K. P.
lodge attended the service in a body and
took charge of the service at the grave.
Mrs. Dale, Miss Courtney Dale and
Miss Anna Becher of Omaha who were
present at the funeral, return to Omaha
this week.

This tells the story of the landslide
which swept off the slate every republi
can candidate in the city election yes
terday. l
The result in general was what most
people expected, hut the majorities were
larger than any one guessed.
There were no party politics in the
election, and so far as the result yester
day will affect the two parties in the
future, there is more to give encourage
ment io the republicans than to the
democrats.
To prove that there were no party pol
itics in it at least s far as the republi
cans are concerned, one need but glance
at the returns in the 'I bird ward, the
only republican ward in the city. In
that ward only 40 straight republican
votes were cast. And the scratched
vote- showed that Gray. Dickinson, Gal
ley and M'Elfr. sh received nearly as
ninny demoeratic voles a- they did re
publican votes, while th-ir opponents
received more repu'diem vot.s than
thev did.
The democrat i- candi dates did not
win because thev were better men or
because they worked harder. They

weapons aud their .methods of nsius

received mu.h of the anti-bawdy-house
vote of his own party by com
ing out squarely and saying "I shall
stand tqutirely fur the suppression of
the bawdy-bouse." The anti-bawdy-house
democrats believen he meant
this statement, and voted for him.
The pro-bawdy-h"use voters, both
democrats and republicans, were con
vinced by the machine workers that
he didn't mean it, and they too voted
for him. ThiB issue at the head of
the ticket determined largely the
vote on the whole ticket.
In the Third ward other factors
entered, and old timers declare
that they have never Been a rottener,
more disgraceful electoin in that
ward. Booze and misrepresentation
figured in this ward to defeat Gray
and the machine centered its attack
here. Mr. O. C. Grays record as a
councilman entitled bim to re-elect-tion.
He has honored Columbus and
the republican party by his service
to the city. However, it is sufficient
that he deserved success. He will be
better off personally because of his
defeat.
The majority has spoken. The re
publican party will not suffer by the
result for it has a clean record.
Company K Banquet.
Members of Company K banqueted
members of the other local patriotic or
ganizations at the armory last Friday
night in a manner that proved them
worthy of the highest compliments as
hosts. Variety, characteristic of a meet
ing of the boys in blue, marked the
pleasures which held the guests till
after midnight. Some played cards,
some gave entertainment with the box
ing gloves, while Captain Tschndy with
his graphaphone and A. C. Boone with
his violin contributed music.
At 11 o'clock Caterer Jones had the
banquet spread on a row of small tables
extending the length of the armory.
There were no table cloths and no
china ware. A half of a mess-pan an
swered for a plate at each place, and
that was all in the way of table ware
except knives, fork- and spoons.
First came oystei s. Then came huge
tin dishes of baked beans bristling with
spoons one for each guest, heaps of
sandwiches cake and fruits, rich black
coffee and finally cigars.
After the banquet the chairs were
moved back and the speech-tanking be
gan. Lieutenant Brock, in the absence of
Captain Wagner introduced Lee Rollins
as toastmaster in a graceful speech and
for more than an hour followed wit and
wisdom, song and story, all extempor
aneous Very few of the younger men
escaped the eye of Toastmaster Rollin
and every one of the old veterans pres
ent W. A. McAllister, A. W. Clark, W.
F. Dodds R. W. Young, J. S. Brock and
L. H. Rector responded.
It was an inspiring meeting and one
which will go far toward stimulating

The Cleveland Movement.
Two and a half to three miles north
west of Columbus was laid oat, in
1857, on a magnificent scale, the town
of Cleveland. George W. Stevenson,
William H. Stevenson, and Michael
Sweeny were ihe active workers, and
for awhile occupied the premises.
The project was plausible, for the site
was in itself, and in its surround
ings, more beautiful than any other
in this region. The instincts of com
mon sense and the powers of human
reason operated in these days very
much as they do now-a-days, and
Cleveland like Columbus had "Capi
tal on the Brain." To show how the
common sense ana reason of that day
have since been endorsed by high
authority, be it remembered that in
1866, George Francis Train the great
est financial and poitlcal prophet ot
the i age)? united the two localities
in his grand .scheme, by purchasing
all between, and merging Cleveland
into Columns. For he bought all
movable Olevelana, put her on wheels,
rolled her down to the centre of the
United States, into the exact heart of
the Universe, and in a written con
tract with the to-be proprietor of the
Credit Fonder of America Hotel, re
membering that he hirntelf was then
"next president ot America," hud it
expressly stipulated that a certain
room therein should be lorever at llit
command of that prtsiuent ot tiie
United States, and another room tub
ject to (he order of tne pteeideut ol

So also faded the glories of Zigzag,
yielding to the trading post aud beau
tiful farm of our lamented L. W.
Platte, who. in 187o. passed over to
the next life, leaving all to the care
of hiB wife the time honored teacher
of the Pawnee Nation. These pro
mises, thus notable in various ways,
have received, by interpretation of
their faithul friend's name into the
Pawnee language, the title of
' Keat skatoos. ' ' So sank also Monroe,
the home of our Father Gerrard and
cur Brother Whaley. who have passed
on before to the better land. So went
down also Neenah, the far known
ranche of Joseph Russell, and since
the possession of the departed Mrs.
Wells. And thus too, sank Buchanan,
as in the grave of the aged and worn
down civil chieftain. All the old
cities of these plains, except Colum
bus, sank, not as those of the plains
of Sodom, nor for such a cause, we
trust, into a sea of lire and brimstone,
but sunk in a sea of chance. Yet ail
these died in faith, not having re
ceived the promise, that they might
obtain the better inheritance of good
farm land and their proprietors sought
a city which hath foundations, even
Columbus.
But while cities faded out of Bight,
farms came into view. For during
this year and the next two, 1858-9, val
uable accessions were made to all the
neighborhoods.
To the Geiman settlement came
Held, Erb, Marohn, Will, Wetterer,
Rickert, Ahrens. Henggeller, Mah.s
and the Losekes. To the Irish came
the Hays,gDoody and the Oarrigs. To
the eastern end came Nelson Toncray,
Willam Davis, Robert Corson, and
farther up, Rolfer, Russell, Skinner,
Kemp, Olough, Spaulding and Fayl?.
In September, 1859, came the Salt
Lake Emigrants Father James Gal
ley and his three sonB. George W ,
James H , and Samuel, and bis two
sons-in-law, William Draper and .lohn
Barrow. Later came McAllister and
Anderson.
Beyond che Loup an Interesting
community of Yankees, we might call

Bebe brothers, Stevens, Morse Perrv,
Clark, Cusbing and Witcbie. Uf thi'-Trans-Loupic
brotherhood only two
Barnnm and Witcbie stick to and
reside on their original premises. Yet
that Mesopotamia is perhaps the most
denselv occupied and best improved
portion of the county, partly, no doubt,
on account of the superior qnalitv of
the soil, but chiefly on account of the
gregarious habit of the Europeans.
Ib 1860 a new element was added to

at their homo at Kent 9n Saturday after
noon. While she was playing in the
corn bin of the big elevator with her
cousin one of the men started to draw

corn to the center of the pit drew the
