The Pacific House changed proprietors last Monday, John Hammond lately of Boone county, succeeding . V. Clark, who goes to Boone. The general tigket agent of the Chicago & Rock Island B. B. was her the other day and remarked to one of our business men that more tickets to Columbus were sold than to any other point on the Union Pacific lines. 8tearns precinct was organized in June 1872. It is composed of the whole of town 9, 2 west, the center being on the 8. W. U of Sec. 30, where a town is laid oat, upon which, at the present writing, stands a hotel, post office aud store. We have a doctor, a harness maker and a justice of the peace here, and are greatly in want of a blacksmith, having to go to Columbus, fifteen miles to get our work done. I was the first settler in the pre cinct and moved on to my claim the 2nd day of March. 1871. I think only two other families moved in that summer. But enough came early in 1872 to make seventeen voters for presidential elec tion, and the assessor this spring, 1873, has found twenty persons subject to poll tax, and I think he ought to have found forty. Number of horses, 36. Amount of personal property in full, $5,213. There are two pre-emptions proved up and considerable railroad land boughfcby actual settlers. In a three mile square school district we register thirteen schol ars and daily expect four or five more. We propose to build a good school house this summer. Our land is mostly all table land; Elm creek rises in the center and runs south; Loseke creek rises in the center and runs east making a good drawin only. We have as yet only raised a first crop which yielded per acre, wheat, 25 bu.; oats, 30 bu.; core. 40 bu.; potatoes, 100 to 200 bu. There are a few good claims in the precinct, with any amount of railroad land at $5 per acre. Our citizens are alive to the timber question and are putting ont a great deal this Fpring. I have about four acres one and two yeaas old growing up nice, all from slips. I pulled up trees this spring which were slips last year, were five feet high with five to ten roots, the length of which I cannot tell as I have not been able to get to the end of them. I measured one twelve feet; if any one don't believe it, let them come and see. O. E. Stearns. Dr. Vallier, Osteopath, Barber block. Dr. W. H. Slater, veterinarian, phone 96.

Jeweler and -Optician, w i ftiH The farm house of Joe. Kruse, about three miles south of town, was destroyed by fire Sundsy afternoon. It is not known what caused "the fire. Frank Krings, a son-in-law of Mr. Kruse was occupying the house, and a few minutes before the fire was discovered Mr. Krings started for Humphrey, leaving Mrs. Kiings and the children at home. He had not gone far when Mrs. Krings called him back and told himhe house was on fire. By the time he arrived the fire had gained such headway that he was unable to enter to save anything in the house, and inside of half an hour, the bouse and all its contents, save the clothing which the family wore on their backs, lay ia a heap of ashes. A neighbor's telephone was quickly put to use and in a short time a large number of neighbors were on hand to lend their assistance. The Humphrey fire department was tele phoned for and in half an henr twenty five or thirty members of the department were at the scene of the fire.H Mr. Kruse considers himself lueky that everything on the place was not burned. The wind was blowing hard fronr the south and I the direction from wnieaitne wino came no donbt saved the fine large barn and other buildings. Hsd the wind came from the southeast or southwest, it. is doubtful if anything on the place eould have been saved. The house was insur ed for $400 and the.houeehsld goods were also insured but we failed to learn the amount. Humphrey Democrat. Tne mask ball given by Engine. com padyyNo. 1, of the Columbus fire depart ment at the Orpheus hall last 'MWay evening was a most pleasingly saecsos, both from a social point of view ''and financial profit. The evening was an ideal one for such an occasion, and one of the largest crowds ever attended the hall was present. ' The' fire boys had previously arranged the 'dance and not' one mistake was made in any way to mar the evening's entertainment. In the afternoon the band gave a street pa rade and of course was accompanied by a funny bunch of maskers who gave merry mentfor 'the citizens along the street. Engine company No. 1 must be con gratulated for the manner in which it conducted the pleasant event. The treasury of the company will be enrich ed to the amo.unt of about $180.

One section of the harrow had been placed on the wagon with the teeth upward, and in attempting to adjust the second section the man helping Carl let his held go and the result was that his hand was caught on a', tooth and the force of the fall drove 'the.iron pin com pktly through his wrist. ;The wonnd is a painful one though it it though by the surgeon' that no eer:ous results will terminate, though" very likely will leave Mr. Boettcher with a stiff band and fingers. .

City " Had a stranger dropped into oar city yesterday, not knowing that April 3 was the date for the general municipal elee tion, he would never have thought that such a thing was than going on in Co lumbus. But there was a real election, and every candidate printed upon the oficial ballot was elected with good round majorities, though the vote was the lightest east ia Columbus for years. The judges and elerka had the same snap as the caadidates, and the result wan that the whole work of the day waa cleaned up and the usual crowd of speetatora at the final count had be fore 9 o'clock gone home. The democrats elected every man on their ticket because the republicans did not pnt up any one who would stand pat snd oppose them. They -just stood and look on like a bunch of boys wstehing a marble game. Everybody, however, is entirely satisfied and the elected oaacisls will have the hearty co-operation of the citizens in their earnest desire' to give us a first-class ecoaomical eity government. Our new councilmen are Sam Gass, jr., First ward; 8. J. Byan, Second ward, and George Willard, Third ward. The outgoing members being Jacob Greisen, J. H. Galley and Wm. Zinnecker.

On Saturday afternoon lsst, the "Key stones" of Columbus, and the "Albiona" of Albion, played a match game of base ball at the Fair grounds. The rain had cleared off, and, except a strong wind blowing from the northeast the day was propitious for the game. There waa a large crowd of spectators, amongst which was quite a sprinkling of the fair sex. The boys all plsyed well, aad from the beginning to the end ef the game demanded elose attention. It, is true that if the score hsd been closer there wonld have been a deeper interest, but we doubt if the game would have been more enjoyed. Two double plays and exoellent field catches on the part of the "Aibions" elicited applause, and did also several exhibits of prowess on the "Key stone", side. The "Albions" accepted their defeat in good spirit, and, although defeated, they were not vanquished. The following is the score: ALBION. T.

The Keystone team at that time was rec ognized the etate over as being one of the strongest aggregations then playing on the diamond. Most of the Columbus plsyers are still living in and near the city, and the people will read with inter est bow the boys then played the national game. Me Strike. In justice to the draymen of Colum bus, the Journal hss been asked by a number of them to more plainly state their grievance in the matter of deliver ing coal and to state that there was no time that a strike was pending or even entertained. They claim to be miss quoted in the last issue of the Telegram and in fairness to both the publie and drayman interested in this matter, a statement of agreement as entered into by the learners of Columbus is given be low together with the signer thereto. There is no fear of a drayman's strike, nor do tbey demand 50c per ton for de livering coal only in esse where they are oblised to carry or wheel the coal to places far from the reach of the wagon, and which looks proper and right. The following is the agreement. Columbus, Nebr,. March 22, 1907. We. the undersigned teamsters of Columbus, Nebrasks, do-hereby agree on the following scale of prices for hauling coal, within the city limits of said city: For banHBg-one-half ton or less, 25c For baalinc amounts over oae-half ton, at the rate per ton. 40c For all amounts when earned or wheeled ia br dealers, at fhe rata per ton ESe Whom curried or wheeled by drayssen. for oae- half ton or less, extra 25c, per ton Sue For car load lots, deliTered to aay party or persoB, at the rate per ton 25c And we hereby pledge ourselves unto eaeh other not to haul or deliver coal for any dealers or individuals for less than the above scale of prices, on aad after the 1st day of April, 107.

The soliciting com mittee is working to complete the amount, and oaght to be successful within the next week. Aa was expected, the last part of the total amount is tak ing longer to raise than the first. The Hon. D. D.Roberts, the cattle king of Platte Center was ia Columbus Sunday. He was ont in his Easter togs and looked like n prince. The only thing lacking waa a collar, sad this is where ha drawa the line, he say a he neve feels at home with hie neck crowded into a stand-up collar, he wants plenty of room and lots of air. The city election in Columbus yester day was about the tamest affair aver ' palled off ia our city. Every plane where the parched tongue could be moistened was closed tight, aad the aa us! display of "vote for this man aad vote for the other fellow" waa not la evidence and the usual night-before-lx-ing was greatly missed by a bunch who year by year has been loaded down with most every thing useful on election day. The republicana made no provisions for their followers to get out and dig, aad those candidates who were placed ia the field pulled off their ticket, and of course the result was that the democrats had everything their way and what was the use of burning midnight oil when nil was easy sailing. , About two dozen base ball players aad fans met nt the Journal office Saturday night, and for an hour one of the hottest games ever palled off took place. The meeting was called as a "feller" that the people may known ihat Columbus is really alive for baseball this season. Nearly all the surrounding towns will play this year and there is no excuse why Columbus cant head the list ss a ball town. We have oceans of young material and several old heads to drill the cubs into a fast bunch. In suggest ing a capable manager the Journal would ssy Barney Berne. He has been there before, knows the game and would be n power behind an organiza tion. He has partly consented to father the team along providing a club can be made up, and it is left to the lovers of the natioaal game to step forewardaad show some spirit of encouragement in this matter. Another meeting wiU be arranged for sometime- next week, bat before that time, talk just a little about base ball any way. Columbus can play ball and it ia generally believed a team will be organized. Play ball!
