The Bereaved of all in the AIiBIOX. From the Aisaa. Editor E. J. Poynter of the Album Argue attended the Columbus Omumt cial club banquet Tuesday evening aad makes the following comment on it: Columbus is a pretty little city down on the Platte, about 45 miles southeast of Albion, at the junction of the Albion branch with the main line of the Union Pacific railroad, "where all Che traiaa stop to take water.' It ia noted (in our estimation) for having three sewer system In the estimation of some others for having a little court house out in the suburbs. To others two breweries and fourteen saloons. In addition to these notable things they have some other thinge to be thankful for and proud of vis: A lot of beautiful sidewalks aad gutter paving, a beautiful park, lota of shade trees, many nice buildings, a hospi tal of more than local fame, good school and many other things. They also have acommerical clnb that does things some thiBgs at least. This club knows how to get up a banquet aad make visit ing clubbers fed at home. They area very social bunch. This we know be cause we. in company with Mayer Gra ham, F. 8. Thompson and Mammie Becker, partook of their sociability and hospitality Tuesday evening. It was the occasion of the annual banquet of the club. The feed was good, and while the appetite was being satisfied with the good things, the musical nature was be ing delighted with beautiful musie from the orchestra. After this there were numerous toasts by members of the club and the visitors. All the harm we wish these good people is that they may live to bold banquets by the score and that we may be present.

Charlie Landers, who has been work ing at the depot, went to Norfolk Satur day where he has secured' a position in a railroad office. The new livery men are having diffi culty in finding a suitable location on which to build a barn. There is an ordi nance against locating it on main street, and they seem rather up against it, Bev. J. W. Brient was called to Mon roe the first of the week to attend the funeral of Mrs. John Reed who died Sun day last. Mr. Reed has many friends in this city who join the Leader in extend ing sympathy in his bereavement. Little Florence, the youngest child of James Donnelly, age 4 years, died last Thursday after a short illness, of diph theria. The remains were taken to Hast ings. Iowa, for burial. The bereaved parents have the sympathy of the entire community in their affliction. Alfred Bratt was down at Columbus doing business Monday last He regis tered a kick on his return over the new passenger rates. He declared he was going to have the TJ. P. up before Judge Greek, as they charged him 42 cents going down and only 41 cents on his return trip. Just as we go to press we hear a rumor to the effect that there will soon be a new superintendent. at the Indian school. But whether Dr. Winslow has resigned or been transferred, or whether there is any truth in the rumor we are unable to find out We simply give it as a rumor for what it is worth. Work on the new Masonic temple has been suspended for lo these many weeks on account of not being able to secure a couple dozen 30 foot floor joist We understand they were ordered by one of our local lumber dealers over a year ago, at which time it is claimed they were shipped and no trace of them can be found. One of the Masonic brethren, however, informed the Leader this week that the trouble was caused by a drouth out west somewhere. The tree which they planted upon receipt of the order failed to make the expected growth last year. They began to irrigate it this spring and hope it will be large enough to cut up by a year from next fall. But the question is whether the Masons will wait for it or whether they will send a team down to Monroe some dsy and haul up the required joist from there. M V BBU.WOOD From the Gasette: I About lot) car loads of grain were de livered to the three elevators at Bell wood on Friday of last week. ' Miss Mas LUlie, now of Norfolk aad her 'best fellow", visited at Bellwood this week with Mae's relatives. Mr. and Mrs. M. Cady, now of Colum bus, have purchased the Hewit resideuee and expect to move into it as soon as ibis. - These are the best of times for the farmer arko depends almost altogether on hired help. As one of our folks said last winter, there are say number of farmers him Market worth M0400, who have bad to do all their chores in all hinds of weather, who sre past 00 years of age, and all be cause they cannot get competent help to do the work for them. SometfmeSit is all the fault of the owaer of the $60,000 but ia the majority of cases the right lriadof help simply cannot be hired, even by the man who treats his help better than he treats himself, Mahals Bmgbam, who died last Fri day morning, was born ia Erie, Pen nsylvina, July 18th, 1828. When she was but a child, her parents moved to Michigan where the grew to womenhood. 8hs was married June 9th, 1864, to Miles M, Warren. Six children - were bora to them, all of whom are now liviag. At aa early age she became a christian aad united with the Baptist church, of which she remained a member until oomiag to Nebraska in the year of 1870. Here she united with the Methodist church, of which she was a member un til the Bellwood Baptist church was built in the year 1888, when she united with it and remained a faithful member until her death, which took place at two o'clock Friday morning March 22nd 1907, being 83 , years, 7 months and 24 days old. Deceased, it will be remembered, has been ill for over eleven weeks, and tboroughout most of the time was a terrible sufferer. It was often her de sire that those attending her should pray for her death. Grandma had a host of friends in this vicinity, all of whom held her in high esteem. Funeral was held Sunday afternoon at the Baptist ohurcb, Rev. H. Zinneoker, officiating, after which her remains wastaken to the Bell wood cemetery for burial, followed by a large circle of friends. Miss Sanborn's Ducks. Miss Kate Sanborn, who has writ ten much on the abandoned farms of New Hampshire, tells of an experience she had In raising ducks. The ducks proved to be enormous feeders and were consuming the profits of the farm without making the expected returns in eggs. One day the ducks were at the kitchen door clamoring for more food when an old farmer called. To him Miss. Sanborn told the story of her failure to coax the ducks to lay. The farmer laughed uproariously and finally said: "Them ducks of yours, Miss San born, is all drakes." This Contradictory World. This is a contradictory world. A writer tells us Austrian blankets are made in Yorkshire, England. Turkey rhubarb is neither obtained nor im ported from Turkey, but comes from Siberia and Is a Russian monopoly. German silver hasn't a particle of sil ver, but is a mixture of other metals. Prussian blue has nothing whatever to do with the kaiser's-kingdom, and honey soap never saw a beehive. Irish stew, appetizing as It is. Is unknown in Ireland, and the Vienna roll was first made beyond the capital of Aus tria. Things are not always what they seem nor what they are named. World Development The hypothesis of world develop ment from spiral nebulae, which was so widely discussed about 20 years ago, but which of late years has been seriously questioned, has been strengthened somewhat recently by the explanation that worlds are formed not by the condensation of rings gradually solidified from tenu ous nebulae, but- rather by great masses thrown off or detached from the parent mass of a nebula by the centrifugal force of the rotation. Photgraphs of nebulae disclose such masses In process of detachment and most astronomers are now inclined to .the belief that this Is .the way in which all planetary bodies have been formed. The heavens show thousands of spiral nebulae which are evidently in a state of rotation in central nuclei, and which indicate that they will probably be consolidated into suns and solar systems similar to our own. ajaawBBjm j aOlmn ewSBununujanuavm TOjUnK? manwanunnkw b C4sMsjat.
