Mr. Frank Simmes, engsged with Tur ner & Hulst, started east on Monday to visit the home of his childhood in old Maryland. Jno. Routson.eeq., who has lately been in Sherman count-, speaks well of that country. He saw, among other curiosi ties, four pine trees. James E. North, esq., met with a loss of property yesterday morning the dwelling house on his farm near Itanium's burning to the ground. The weather was very calm, and the column of smoke and ilame could be readily seen from town, shooting straight toward the heavens. The fire was witnessed from town for half an hour or more, but seen too late to render any assistance. We have been told that the fire originated in the chimney. A northern railroad to Columbus is again talked of. Let us provide part of the means to build it. Railroad connec tion with a southern market, and the lumber regions of the north, are two things which Columbus needs. A little means and a strong united effort on the part of our citizens will bring them. We learn from H J. Hudson, esq., our. accommodating clerk, that the adjourn ed term of the district court of Platte county, will, by arrangement with the district, judge, be held on the second Tuesday -of Feb., 1873, at 11 o'clock a. m. Braaigaas Hene Sale. One of the greatest horse sales ever conducted in the state was held at Co lumbus last Saturday at Tom Branigsn'a sale barn. Over five hundred stock men from all parts of the state attended, all coming with pockets filled with money to either buy or sell, and they all got action on their judgment of good horse flesh when the animal was led ont on the block. An even one hundred and sixty-five head of horses were sold, among the number being a few head of mules. The sale opened prompt at 12:30, and from that time on it reminded one of being in toe "pit" on tie Chicago board of trade. The animals went fast, every buyer hnd his animal picked out, and when his favorite came forth, it was only a bid or two and the writing out of a check. Among the many horse buyers present were men from New Jersey. Oklahoma, Kansas City, St. Louis, Iowa, Minnesota, Omaha, and many other surrounding towns. The top prices per span ranged from $350, $4HI and $555, while many lighter weights demanded $175 to 9250. Iu all the sale was far ahead of expecta tions, and those who attended praise Tom Branigan for the manner in which he and his help managed the sale, and the carefulness and attention given to the safety and comfort of the horses cared for in his barns. The result of this sale has been the means of inducing Branigan to conduct a series of similar stock offerings, the next to be held on Friday, February 1, and every three weeks thereafter during the season. Since Branigan took hold of the stock business here, he has caused all eyes of stockmen to be turned toward Columbus, and every sale following he promises still greater things. Be sure and post the date of the coming sale in your hat, ami if you have not attended the late offerings, make it a point to be here and see what a great stock center and mar ket Columbus has got to be.

Editor Fred Pratt of the Humphrey Democrat spent Sunday in Columbus. He had been to Omaha the day before and purchased a new cylinder priating press latest up to date pattern of machinery. When this addition to his already neat office has been added, he will have one of the best print shops in this part of the state, and Fred knows how to handle the business too. What cupid's pranks will do no one knows. The following taken from the Silver Creek Sand, explains about an eloping couple from that place: A mild sensation was caused Wednesday by thn elopement of Fred Davis and Pearl Kis sel, two well known young people. Rumors are flying thick and out of the hunch we gather that Wednesday morn ing when young Miss Kissel came in to school, she was met by Fred Davis with a rig from Shank's livery barn, drove to Columbus and were married at the county judge' office there. They then took the train, ostensibly headed for Centerville, Iowa, where young Davis' mother lives. Their disappearance was only discovered when the wayward girl did not return home from school . Then inquiries were made and the telephone and telegraph wires were kept busy. The team was left in Columbus, from whence a liveryman telephoned Shanks to come and get it. Thursday noon, 8. Kissel, father of the girl, left for Center ville, Iowa, to see the elopers. Soon after his departure a' letter was received from the elopers asking for the girls clothes to be sent to Livonia, Mo. These items are picked up promiscuously, not vouched for, but we think cover the case. What Dad will do when he catches the runaways, we cannot predict, but think that the parental blessing would be better than the irate father's boot.

The registered Short, Horn sale to be held at Branigan's barn in Columbus, Thursday, Jan. 24, 1907, will include fifty of the finest offerings ever put on sale in the state. Remember the date and if you desire to improve your herd don't miss it "The Sign of the Cross" will be seen nt North opera house, Jan. 21, '07. This stirring drama, one of the most ennob- j ling pluys in dramatic history, will be given by a strong company, carefully chosen by Mr. R. G. Crarein, who has been the manager for five years, who has purchased the sole rights for the United States and Camtds-foi&liiis play. The Bcenery and costumes are of the richest splendor, and the massive architecture and luxurious surroundings of Rome in the days of Nero combine in elaborate spectacular effects. Wilson Barrett's impressive and pow erfully constructed religious drama "The Sign of the Cross," which will bo pre sented at North opera house on Jan. 21, '07, is fidl of striking contrasts. The scene is laid in Koine in the extravagant and tyrannical rule of Nero. The gor geousness and wanton luxury of the Roman court is shown in broad colors. Offsetting this, there is the simple dress and lowly mien of the band of Christians whose persecution and martyred victory in their faith form the main theme of the deeply interesting story of the play. George M. Pinneo, physical director of the Lincoln Y. M. C. A- has been designated io take chorge of the athle tic show to be given on Saturday even ing, February 9, before the state Y. M. C.

He will take with him a squad of twelve or fifteen picked men from the local association, who will put on most of the show. In the Lin coln association's physical department are a number of athletes of exceptional ability, who can put on an interesting program, as has been demonstrated in the recent gymnasium exhibitions held here. Mr. Pinneo plans to give the Columbgs athletes a part of the pro gram. Lincoln Journal. -- Nebraska Dr. Campbell, Dentist. How many times have you forgotten to write it 1908?

C. H. Sheldon, for many years presi dent of the Commercial Bank, steps down and out this week and is suc ceeded by H. P. Oehlrich, who was vice president of that institution. Jonas Welch succeeds Mr. Oehlrich as vice president and the vacancy on the board of directors was filled by electing Frank Rorer. The following will be interesting news for those familiar with the Lillie case: "The greater part of the $8,000 insur ance money due on the life of Mrs. Lillie's husband is the subject of suits now pending in the courts. Only a part of the fraternal insurance moneys has ever been paid. The tribe U' Ben Enr. paid the sum of $750 to her little girl Edna, but contested the remainder of the policy. There was due from the Modern Woodmen the sum of $3,000, but tnat society contested payment and the case is still in the 'district court. The A. O. U. W. paid $2,000 to the ac count of the little girl, Mrs. Lillie waiving all claim to the money." The dissolution of the firm of Abts & Calto last week was one of the impor tant business changes in Colnmbns for sometime Starting in business nearly twenty years ago without any capital, they have by hard" work built up a wholesale business that is a credit to Columbus. From the little warehouse with a stock of coal and salt, additions have been made until they now occupy the present commodious building. The new firm will be H. W. Abts k Co. and Mr. Abts will still cover th tArrit,. and his son, M. C Abts will have charge of the house. Mr. Calto has not decid ed as what he will do in the future, and is at present completing the details of closing up bis affairs connected with the old firm. At Platte Center where can.be found four saloons, and everybody should be -.w - UVUt.u bucir tuirst witnout any difficulty, yet some parties who evident ly did not know their capacity, broke into one of the places and loaded up with' the wet goods sufficient to last them for sum time to come. The Platte Center Signal says: "Some malicious thief, or thieves, broke into Reilly's saloon Sun day niirht by breaking the lock on the back door. At what time this was done is a matter of speculation, but the prob ability is that it was between six asd seven o'clock. The bar keeper left there about six o'clock and Marshal Carng, who uses the middle room where the stove is, for a warming station, went in a little before seven, and as he has a key to the east door be had no occasion to go into the south room where the en trance was made, but he is positive that it did not occur after be first went in as he was out and in every ten minutes from that time until morning. The only thing taken away, as far as they can dis cover, was a two gallon demijohn of alcohol and two bar bottles, one contain ing whiskey and the other rum. The drawer to the cash register was open and contained some twelve dollars, but it is evident that money was not what they wanted, as this was undisturbed. The malicious part of the affair appeared when it was discovered that the journal and ledger, containing some thirteen hundred dollars in accounts, had been burned. Carrig noticed the burned paper in the stove when he put coal in the stove in the evening, but thought little of it at the time. Paper ashes could be seen in the stove next morning. Reilly had no safe and the books lay on the desk. The only theory advanced is that these books were destroyed for pare cussedncmvior else by some one who owed an account aad wasted to destroy the record of it. Undoubtedly it was the work of local, taleat, aad the ques-tioaia,wao?" Last Wedaesday Anton Hughes and Ed. Tachudy became weary of the atmos phere at the county jail and decided that they woald like to again be free." They made their escape through the east window, and at once started down the railroad track. They were seen by Mrs. Louis Lachnit and Chris Gass, who re ported the matter to Deputy Sheriff Lachnit. He at once started in pursuit and sighted them two miles east of town, making their way northeast as fast as they could. In a short time he was close enough to call to them to halt, but they did not pay any attention to his demand. He then sent a shot from his revolver which came uncomfortably close to them, and they promptly stopped and gave themselves up. They are now safely behind the bars and will complete their sentences which they are serving for atealing some liquor from Metbeny' saloon. Aa a result of a stroke of apoplexy last Tuesday, John W. Witchey, one of the first settlers in the neighborhood of Duncan, passed away the same day. For a number of years his health had been poor, but the end. was unexpected. The funeral was held at Duncan Thurs day, being conducted by Rev. Johansen. Mr. Witchey was a native of Switzer land, being born in Canton Berne, Jan uary 19, 1829. When a young man he came to this country, locating in Cali fornia in 1850, during the gold excite ment. Later he went to Wisconsin, and from there he came to Platte county.
