Mr. Edward Fitzpatrick informs us

o'clock, a hail storm swept over his
neighborhood, seven or eight miles west

The building known as the American
house was saved from perishing by fire
one day last week. The flames burst

chimney, drowning out the fire. Had it
occurred at night, the house would, very
probably, have been burned to the
ground.

A big roar baa been going up of late
by citizens because of the crossings on
the main thoroughfare across the Union
Padfic rjeing dosed by trsias. The last
tea days the U. P. has bees crowded for
yardroom and on more than one ooession
the crossings have been held way over
the company's limit rights. Yesterday
the city officials were hunting for a
certain crew whom it is claimed bald tha
crossings far beyond reason. Thistie
iag up of so maay crews ia surely giving
to the citizens the proper test of whata
railroad is to a towa when it runs
straight through the business portion of
the city.

with Miss Blecker until about three
months sgo, and they were engaged to
be married. However, Fitzsimmons left
that locality and went toFremontwhere

The members of the Ministerial As
sociation met last Mondsy morning in
the parlor of the Baptist church. Mr.
Munro had chargd of the devotional . ex
ercises to which each member devoted
twenty minutes. Although the purpose ,
of the meeting wss specisl devotion we
found time enough to attend to business.
Besides renewing an interest in the rais
ing of the McCone funeral expenses
action was taken to investigate the con
dition of several children reported as
very destitute. I dare, I am sure, in
behalf of the Association that the pastors
of Columbus will be grateful to anyone
who inforssa them of people, eapecially
children, who are destitute or otherwise
criminally neglected E. J. TJlmer,
