Columbus Bhould be well repre sented, as there are a large number of the members of Company K who went to the war residing here. Cement crossings was the important matter taken up by the oity council last .Friday evening. At a former meeting bids for this work were opened, and H. G. MoCord offered to do the work for -21 J oeBts per foot and Jacob Glur for 25 cents per foot. The committee re ' "ported in favor of accepting the lowest . bid. but the council rejected both bids and awarded the contract to Mr. Glur for 23 cents per foot. Soon after the eouncil'met last Friday night an injunc- tion was served on them by Sheriff Oar- 'rig. restraining them from giving the . cement work to Mr. Glur. But it seems ..'the. council had forestalled this action, ' u Mayor Phillips vetoed the resolution ''giving the work to Mr. Glur and the resolution was withdrawn andone intro duced asking bids on the same work, . after an. estimate had been submitted by 'the oity engineer. This latter was not ' done in the first place, as required by ".iaw. . At the next meeting bids will be . . read vertised for, and in the meantime the ." injunction will be disposed of, as the " 'beariag is aet for Monday. The coun- .. oilmen who voted against giving the work to Mr. MoCord have not publicly '. stated their reasons for so doing, and until the matter is threshed over the . information will not become public .property. Wall Paper Now that spring is on ' the way, would it not be a good idea to think about repapering the rooms? Our line of wall paper has never been surpassed, either in qual ity, pattern or price,, and all who have had work done by us have been well satisfied. Kivuuek t Bittirtii Promontory. Ever bear the name be fore? Possibly some will recall the name of the place. It doesn't amount to much now, but 39 years ago, the 10th of May, there occurred in this little village. 638 miles east of Sacramento in Utah, an event of national importance which' marked an epoch in the history of the nation. On the date above men tioned, May 10, 1869, the last spike was driven in the Union Pacific which united the Atlantic and Pacific oceans with the iron rails of commerce. Now Promon tory is almost forgotten, but on that day the village contained many prominent men from California and other Pacific coast states to witness the ceremony whioh meant so much in the develop ment of the west. Every prominent city in the country was connected by wire with Promontory. The Governor of California was present and took part in the ceremony. The last tie was made of highly polished California laurel. On this tie was a silver plate bearing the inscription: "The last tie laid in the completion of the Pacific railroad, May 10, 1869." Into the tie were driven four spikes, two of silver and two of gold. It was Abraham Lincoln, who, in his mem orable campaign with Stephen A. Doug las for a seat in the U. S. Senate, so strongly advocated the building of 'the Union Pacific. Later, when he became President, even with the burden of a civil war on his shoulders, he found time to inaugurate the movement which ended at Promontory on that May day 39 years ago, four years after the Great Emancipator had passed away. .History has been made since the last spike was driven. An area of commercial develop ment has taken place. The population of the country has been more than donb led and the West reclaimed from its wild state. The war whoop of the savage has died away, the tepee has given place to the farm residence and the plains over which roamed countless millions of buffalo have been converted into fields of growing corn and' wheat. Although it is not generally known, the first pre liminary survey for a road across the continent from the Missouri river to the Pacific coast was made up the Niobrara valley. Even at that early day there was a settlement near the mouth of Niobrara river and a town started which still retains the name of Niobrara. When the survey, was made Niobrara had high hopes of becoming a town of import-' ance, but the change of the route made Omaha and caused a commercial, center jtqspriojCJiPr -Niobrara is stiU,a grillage, but' will ever remain aa historic spot in" Nebraska. In 1881 the original' town was swept away by a flood in the' Mis souri, but the place was rebuilt. The town was first settled by the Mormons in 1848. Bids for the placing of a beating plant in the High school building, were open ed by the Board of Education last Satur day afternoon and the contract awarded to A. Dussell & Son of this city. There were two bids and that of Mr. Dussell was the lowest. The heating of the High sohoofbuildipg has been a serious proposition ever since the building was constructed and it has long been evident that the furnace would have to be taken out and some other system substituted. After careful consideration by the board and a thotough investigation of the dif ferent heating plants, the hot water system was adopted. Work on the in stallation of the system will be com menced at once and completed before the fall term of school opens. The amount of the contract is over $5,500 and our home firm is to be congratulated on securing it. The auditing committee of the Sons of Hermann were in this city Tuesday checking up the books of Financial Se-I oretary Carl Rhode, prior to making their report to the be-ennial meeting of the order at Grand Island this week. Mr. Rhode, who was eleoted financial secretary to fill the vacanoy caused by the death of the late J. H. Johannes, is a candidate for re-election at the state meeting, and the prospect of his being successful is qeitebrigbt.

Walter and Louis 8chwarz.- A number of members of other lodges were in the city the same days enroute to Grand Island.

Im Crura 6da 6s tact's lataf&CMij Factj Mrs w Maise A new time card, which made a gener al change in the time of Union Pacific trains, went into effect Sunday. West bound trains are affected by the plaoing in service of the Lane out off, a piece of work which reduced the chsUnce from Columbus to Omaha by ten miles, and cost th road $3,500,000 to build. Leav ing the main line at Lane it goes almost direct to Omaha and besides making a saving distance, does away with the heavy grades on the old track. On the west bound trains the times is ss fol lows: No. 1, the Overland Limited, now arrives at 11:24. nine minutes earl ier; No. 3 at 6:5, five minutes earlier; No. 5. at 624, thirteen minutes earlier; No. 9, seven minutes earlier, at 11:48; No, 13 at 11:10, thirteen minutes earlier, and No. 15 at 6:32, thirteen minutes earlier. There has been a shortening of time of eastbound trains and the following have been affected: No. 2 is now due here at 6:32, thirteen minutes earlier: No. 6 five minutes earlier, at 1:30; No. 12 at 3:12, twelve minutes later; No. 14, at 1:00, in stead of 1255, and No. If, the east bound mail train, twenty-two minutes later, at 2:30. The time of the trains arriving at and leaving Omaha is unchanged, the difference in time being made in running. The Columbus local freight now goes only to Valley instead of Omaha, making a change in the number of crews. On the Lane cut off only west bound trains use the new track, but the local passen ger fare between here and Omaha has been reduced from $1.85 to $15, s sav in; of twenty cents. In about thirty days the double track between Lane and Omaha will be completed, at whioh time all trains, except the locals, will use the new line. "A trick that has the appearance of a smooth swindle." says 'the Algona(Iowa) Courier, "was recently worked on a' Lotts Greek farmer. A well dressed, smooth looking chap, wearing glasses and an air of authority, went through the country and stopped at several places and stated that he was authorized to test cows for tuberculosis. He then went on with his test,' or mock test perhaps, and told this farmer that ten of his fourteen cows, the pick of the herd, were tuber; cular and that he should dispose of them The farmer felt pretty bad over the mat ter and asked if he should kill them. The fellow said no, that he need not kill them, but it he got a chance to sell tbem to someone who would take them out of the state he might do that and get some thing out of them. The fellow then went on to.test other herds. It was the second day after this inoident that an elderly man came along looking for cows that were for sale. He came to this farmer and stated what he wanted, and the farmer was anxious to sell those ten cows and let the stranger have those ten best cows at $15 to $16 a head. The buy er took them off. and then the farmer and his neighbors bsgan to think that pethapa the young man and the old man were in some way connected with eaoh other. At all events the old man got the oows pretty cheap. " The band boys are still circulating their list for subscriptions for the sum mer concerts. It was thought the first concert would be given Wednesday eve ning, May 20, but the subscriptions did not come up to the expectations and con- squently the first concert was postponed to some future date, which we hope will be soon. The band is an organization that our people are very proud of, and therefore the citizens should loosen their purse strings and lend a helping band. In asking for this money the boys do not feel as though they were requesting anything unreasonable, as it takes muob hard work and time to make the band a sucress snd whatever you may donate will be greatly appreciated. For various reasons the Grand Island Distriot Epworth League convention will be held one week earlier than first ad vertised, that will be June 16 and 17, at Genoa, where the big government Indian schools are. The program committee have been fortunate in securing the ser vice of Rev. Cha. P. Lang, of St. Ed ward, to give a chalk talk as to the best methods of studying the Bible. Hehaa made this a special study for the past eighteen years, and the delegates should bring note books and take home many bints that will be useful in the local chapter. Mrs. Bertha S. Redbird, a cul tured Indian lady, will give an address upon the evangelistic work among the Indians. ' "More new -residences are being put up in Columbus than in any other town in the state, taking its size into consid eration."' was the remark made by a man who:is in a position to know what he is talking about. In speaking further on the subject he said that while there were so many buildings being put up the demand did not decrease in the least, for ss soon as a house is completed it ia either rented at once or purchased by some one for a home. This activity in the building line does not indicate that Columbus is having a boom, but a good steady growth, to meet the requirements of those desiring to locate here. Ed Fitzpatriok arrived Sunday eve ning from Ancon, Panama, where he is holding down the joh of postmaster. He is now on a three months' leave of ab sence and expects to remain in this northern climate during that time. He says work on the canal is progressing very rapidly and it is necessary for one to view it in order to appreciate the of the undertaking. Mrs. L- C. Vase is expected to return Saturday front Bolton,. Kansas, when she went some time ago .to attend the wedding of her sister. Miss Jennie Todd to John Robinson of .that oity. Mini Todd is quite well known here, having frequently visited in this oity. The wedding took place the ltth of this month. A news item from Geneva to the Omaha Sunday Bee says: ''While Miss McMshon, superintendent of the girls' reform sohool. and Matron Miss Minnie McMahon were driving, the horse took fright at a bicycle and ran away throw ing the women out under the buggy, and dragging them some distance. No bones were broken nor other serious lojury done." Lena Tolles, wife of Robert Tolles of this city, died Tuesday evening, leas than twenty-four hours nfter the death of her infant child. For almost two years she has been a helpless invalidthe result of a stroke of paralysis. Mrs. Tolles was born in Granville, N. Y.. twenty-nine years ago, and came to f latte county, near Monroe, with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Kenyon, and has since made this county her home. Fifteen years ago she was married to Robert Tolles, since which time they have resided in Monroe or on a farm south of the river, until a few months sgo. when they moved to Columbus. She leaves, be sides her husband, two little boys, to mourn her loss, and two sisters and one brother, one sister.

There were three ball games lsst Sun day, a double header in the city and one on the grounds of the Shell Creek But termilks, north of town. On the home grounds the first game was between Hose Company No. 1 and Hose Company No. 2 of the fire department league, aad resulted in a victory for No. 2 by a score of 7 to 3. The second game was between the home team and Madison and result ed in a score of 13 to 0 in favor of Co lumbus. At the grounds of the 8hell Creek Buttermilks the Hookies of the Fire department league were defeated by a score of 19 to 15. The standing of the fire company league is ss follows: Hookies, plsyed two games and lost two; Hose Company No. 1 played two games and lost one and won one; Hose Company No. 3, played two games aBd won two. The Fire department league now .ban three teams, but there baa been con siderable talk of the Bissell's organizing a team and entering race for the cfaam pionship. Another double header is billed for Sunday. Silver Creek and Co lumbus, and the Hoikies and Hose Com pany No. 2. The latter will be a good game as the Hookies have materially strenghtened their team and hope to change their standing as to percentage of games lost and won. Oar Pslk County Frlsud. Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Monk of Columbus are visitors among all the Monks of Polk county. County Judge issued ' one Usance the past week and it was to Mr. Ivan Lind- quist and Miss Martha Swanson. The Polk County Commissioners have agreed that their next regular session, will be held on the 15th dsy of June, 1908. The different Villages in Polk county are appointing tneir committee and fixing things to celebrate the 4th of Jnly.

John Holt who is one of the most prominent Ben Hurr's of Polk county has gone to Crawfordsville, Ind., to attend the national meeting of that order. John took Mrs.Holt with him, on the principle that it is not good for man to be alone. The good people, down at Clear Creek Mission are goinp to have Sunday school right along in the forenoon, for the time they don't have preaching. Rev. L. R. DeWolf of Columbus hss had a regular appointment here Sundays, but he has gone on bis vacation and so the hour of Sunday sonooi is onanged to a more convenient season. Mr. and Mrs. WiU Herrmann, who live north of Osceola several miles, and have to drive Eighteen miles to get to Columbus, started for that city bright and early on Monday morning and they got there soon after'the sleepy fellows of that city had turned ont, or in other words about 10 a. m.
