Tom Thumb Wedding.
Never before in the history of oar city
has the good people of Columbus had
the pleasure of Razing upon a more
beautiful scene of childhood ranging
from four years of age to those wuo are
in, if not passed their teens, who took
part in the Tom Thumb Wedding and
its accessories to the play given by the
members of Mrs. Casein's division of the
Congregational Church. A large au
diance wittnesed the play and it is
thought by many to be as good if not
the best home talent play ever given in
Columbus.
Great credit is dns Miss Stevens of
New York and the ladies who so kindly
assisted her in the manner in which the
play was rendered.
The first to appear before the audiance
was the guests of the Tom Thumb's.
About one hundred little girls and boys
were dressed in the costums of ladies
and gentleman and were ushered to their
places on the stage to witness the
ceremony. The minister, Lloyd Cassin,
then took his place and with violin in
hand played a few strains of the wed
ding March, with Miss Whitemore his
assistant at the piano. Following this
the wedding ceremony took place with
as much viuvand vigour as if in real life.
Homer Farraud represented Tom Thumb
while Erma Davies made a very charm
ing Jennie June.
This was followed by a scene from the
Land of nod and Pantana which was
well given by six young ladies and
six young men, and was greatly ap
priciateu by the audience.
Another splendid feature of the en
tertainment was the Japanses Lantern
Drill in which quite a number of young
ladies took part.
Mrs. Mark Bathburn pleased the
listeners with a solo which was well
rendered'
Princess and her Rickisha was very
attractively given by Ilene Kavanaugh
and Elmer Winey who by their singing
won the general approvial of the bouse;
The Man In The Moon was then sung
by Miss Emma Kebhauses and Ned Post,
while the Cheyenne Cow boy drill which
was the last but by no means the least
closed the evenings entertainment. The
Orpheus Orchestra furnished the music,
for the evening. Just how much the
ladies cleared the writer was unable to
learn but we feel safe in saying that a
neat snm must havelwen the reward.
Talk of Silver Creek Drainage Ditch.
A ditch running through a large part
of the county and draining the Silver
Creek bottoms has been talked of for
years as something desirable and feasi
ble, and now it seems possible that the
discussion may give place to tangible
results. The route has been mapped
out, so that the ditch would start near
Chapman and follow the course east
ward. The creek itself would be straight
ened out, and it is believed that thou
sands of acres of land having the best
soil to be found in the county could be
redeemed.
A. H. Anthony is greatly interested in
the project as well as mnny others, and
it is possible that the matter will be
brought to the attention of the super
visors, as it has been discussed with
them in their personal capacity. The
expense of constructing such a ditch is
estimated at $50,000 to $100,000.
Many who wonld be affected speak
strongly in favor of the project. It
stands to reason that now, since most of
the good land in the county has been
bought up'or is beyond the reach of the
ordinary purchaser, it is natural that
attention should be given to waste tracts
with the hope of redeeming them and
putting tbem under profitable cultiva
tion. Central City Republican.
Everybody Should.
Sometimes children acquire the habit
of telling falsehoods and parents won
der where they learned it. Not unoften
it is the fault of the parents themselves.
They make promises to their children
and fail to keep them. They do not
mean to fail but they pay so little at
tentoin to their promise that it siips
their jnind. Or it may be that when
they made 'it it was with no intention
of keeping it because it was made only
to a child and therefore It did not mat
ter. But to the child it matters a good
deal and it soon learns that promises uri
kept are falsehoods. Naturally it rea
sons that what parents may do they al
so may do, and thus the lying habit is
formed. Parents should be srruplnous
ly truthful in their dealings with their
children. Wood River Sunbeam.

Minnie Brewer of -Platte county sued
her husband, William M. Brewer, for

his mother to the home and allowed the
parent to boss the wife. The supreme
court listened to .her plea. The lan
guage of the court is crisp and to the
point:
'Every wife is entitled to a home to

Mrs. Lille's Insurance.
This week's dallies contain mention of
the default of the Modern Woodmen of
America in the suit for the recovery of
insurance money brought by Lena Mar
garet Lillie. The case was called up
before Judge Sears' court, in Omaha, on
Tuesday and the court entered .default
against the insurance society. The.
murdered husband of Mrs Lillie carried
a policy for $2,000 in the Modern Wood
man. The organization refused to pay
her this amount in view of her conviction
as his murderer. Immediately after her
pardon by Governor Mickey," and re
lease from the penitentiary. Mrs. Lillie
went to Omaha and brought suit for the
recovery of this amount with interest,
basing her claim on the ground that
her pardon was an exoneration of the
charges against her. No answer has
been filed by the Woodman, although
the time for filingone expired more than
a month ago. Bell wood Gazette.

An Awful Experience.
"Its awful to run over a man when
you're in your cab." said Engineer Cy
Bordman when he returned to Fremont.
It's a peculiar sensation you'll never for
get when you feel the engine jar and
you know you have sent some poor soul
to eternity." Engineer Bordman had
run over a man near Morse Bluffs. The
man was Alexander Marill, a farmer.
Marill while walking home from Morse
Bluffs followed the railroad track. He
sat down on a tie, then fell asleep, lean
ing back over the rail. Engineer Bord
man saw him when the light from the
headlight of the locomotive fell on the
form of a man, but it was too late to
stop. Marill was ground to a pulp un
der the wheels of the train. His body
was taken back to Morse Bluffs and his
family notified by telephone. Lincoln

At church fair presumed to be down
among theSwedes in Polk county there
were several sale booths where all kinds
of articles and little trinkets were.sold.
On the counter of one of these was a
neat, snug-fitting little glove, just the
kind you know you would like to
squeese when filled with that nice soft,
snowy white hand. Just., above this
glove on a placard was this inscription:
The owner of this glove will kiss the
purchaser of any article in this booth if
he will present himself at six o'clock p.
m."
The purchasing at that booth during
the evening was heavy. At the appoint
ed time a loag line of sheepish looking
men awaited the appearance of the fair
kisser, the curtains parted and the big
round face of the village butcher ap
peared. He stepped to the counter and
said, "Gentlemen, I am the owner of
that glove and I am ready to kiss who
ever will step up."- Before he had fin

The next time the erring spouse .came
home feeling happy she quickly donned
the costume. As he opened the door
she stepped foreward and said in sepul

It was a vary hard matter for Osceola

and locked up, we was there in' Frank
ford Park which was never more lovely
and, attractive,- with ita beautiful swings
for four, its nice seats
its lawns, and
fountains. It
was no wonder so many
of Osceola's and Polk county's people
were captivated. There were ten barrele
of pure ice water used to cool the parch
ed tongue of the crowd on the Fourth.
Ice water, mind you, that was not so
necessary for Polk county citixens for
they have plenty of that and nothing
strongerat home, but then there was
one hundred and three barrele of Colum
bus beer consumed that day too. But
we would not insinuate for the life of us
that Osceola people ever touched n drop
of it. '

and he was not afraid to let the people
know it by filling his petition and blow

know it. The feet is that about forty
dollars has been blown in to the County
Treasury for the same purpose. Five
dollars a trip to let the voters know how
they ought to vote on the new primary

Attorney General Thompson declares the
method was all right and that it would
stand the test of law and in fact it is
much better end more accurate than if

who are just thirty-five.
