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.

GENOA.
From the Leader.
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

ing sympathy in his bereavement.

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

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.

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.
