On Thanksgiving, a team belonging to a Mr. Hyden, contrary to the usual quiet of the day, ran off and colided with Dr. Stillman's drug store, making a hole in the front, and racking the corner of the building considerably. We didnt ascer tain what amount of "damages" Mac claimed, but we have no doubt that he was very reasonable. B. S. Dayton informs us that a meeting is soon to be called in the Humphrey school district to .take measures to build a school house; also, tht a county bridge now fipass Tracy creek near his dwelling on the road from Oolumbus to Madison. These are important matters to that neighborhood. They show the enter prise of the citizens of Humphrey pre cinct. ' There are numerous complaints against the condition of the public highway be tween Columbus and the south side of the Platte river in other words, the bridge across the Loupe is by no means what it ought to be. The trade that now comes from south of the Platte is going to slip away from us if we do not make a permanently safe crossing over that stream. Experiments in raising cotton in Kan sas have been made the past year with entire success, and the crop for that locality is urged upon the farmers as one that will prove profitable. In many places in Nebraska the same experiment has been tried with good results. Two years ago since we were shown a fine specimen of cotton raised in a town lot in Columbus. At the Higk Scheel. Miss Waterhouse was visiting the Omaha public schools Tuesday of this week. The schools will have a two weeks1 vacation during the holidays, beginning December 20. Max Betterton, of the manual train ing department, has made a very fine table for Prof. Britell. Notwithstanding the present epidem ic, the attendance during the last months was larger than that for the same month a year ago. The Thanksgiving football game be tween Columbus and Madison resulted in a victory for Madison by a score of 6 to 4. The attendance was very good and the boys netted a neat little sum for the benefit of the Athletic association. Much disappointment was expressed on account of Father Tihen in being un able to fill bis engagement under the auspices of the High school lecture course, as he was very sick at his home in Wichita, Kas. It is hoped that he will be able to fill the engagement later, as he was one of the best numbers of the coarse. Wanted. Apprentice girl's at UHIVS Dressmaking Dept.

From the beginning the board has been working in harmony and under the direction of the board of health in their endeavor to stamp out these diseases, and especially toward preventing the school rooms from being a source from which they could spread. All the buildings are taken care of according to beet known sanitary methods and fumigated regu larly, so 1 hey are the safest place for the children. Whenever a child shows any symptoms whatever of sickness they are at once sent home by the teach er and not allowed to return until the physician permits it. Under present conditions the board and faculty of the school feel they are doing everything that can be done, and with the co-operation of the parents, expect to maintain the present healthful conditions of the schools. A party of fourteen Masons went from hereto Columbus Friday afternoon to assist in the ceremonies attending the Uying of the corner siobc of the new Y. M. C. A. building which is to be erected there.

Walker returned from Texas last Saturday evening laden with sam ples of vegetation produced by that lo cality. Among the specimens were sev eral bunches of oranges still hanging to the branches of the trees which looked rather out of place here in December. Samples of sugarcane, which make the ordinary kind look like dwarfs, are also exhibited. J.

Cunningham met with an accident that came very nearly costing him the sight of one of his eyes. He stooped down to pick up a dead quail, and did not notice a stem of grass protruding upward, until it penetrated his eye, inflicting an in jury that required medical attention. Mr. Cunningham is nursing a very sore optic, but at present no serious results are anticipated. The favorable weather has given eon tractor Parker an opportunity to peek work on the new T. M. O.
