Wheat is not so large a yield as usual, but u, so far as we have seen, superior in quality. The last fraud we read about before penning this item happened to be prac ticed by a Maine rogue in this way. He was selling rum by the keg, which was supposed to contain ten gallons of rum each, but the rogue had ingeniously sealed a pint of genuine rum in each side of the keg eo that by taking out a cork tbe purchaser oould last the liquor; the other nine gallons and seven pinta was pure water. At tbe last "training" of tbe engine company, the new well near tbe Episco pal church was tried for the first time, and proved satisfactory. The engine seemed to work even better than usual, throwing a stream from the street twenty feat above and over tbe spire of the church. We again suggest the pro ' pnely of having more of these wells, that wbsn an emergency arises, the eu giue may be able to do full duty. Wednesday afternoon of last week the grass hoppers came down in part of Col umbus, and commenced on tbe gardens in a regular business way to obtain pro visions. They are first rate feeders, and by noon tbe next day few gardens in the northern portion of tbe city contained vegtables that would have amounted to the value of a dollar. We examined one garden containing some corn, potatoes, cabbage, beets, watermelons, musk mel ons, cucumbers, etc., and found that tbe whole thing was so effectually cleaned up as to render what was left, and what had promised to be a tolerably good garden, perhaps entirely worthless. We noticed in tbe lot examined a few nice young apple trees from which they had eaten many of tbe leaves, leaving the tender growth exposed to the scorching sun. The Special Train's. Special train service has been secured from Columbus to Albion for the Albion Chautauqua on Sundays Aug. 3, and Aug 9, 1906.

A beau tiful site lor an outside home. ELLIOTT, SPBICE AND 60. Austin White died at hk home in west Columbus Thursday evening at eight o'clock, death being due to heart fail are. Tbe deceased has been a patient sufferer for the past three months, and although quite ill at times, death came very unexpected. Mr. White waa born in Ohio in 1856, and came to Nebraska in early manhood settling at Greaham, where he resided untill five years ago, when, with his family, he came to this city, where he has since resided. In 1882, at York, Nebr., he was united in marriage to Miss Haldah Bell Fuller of Oresbam. To this union eleven child ren were born, three of whom are dead. Besides his wife, Mr. White leaves eight children, namely: William, George, Lemmie, Ida, Clarence, Bollin and Fred. The children all live here, with the ex ceptions of William, who resides in Lexington, and Lemmie, who is located in North Dakota. The funeral was held from the family residence Sunday morn ing at ten o'clock, Rev. DeWolf, pastor of the M. E. church, officiating. Music was furnished by tbe Misses Elizabeth Watkins, Elizabeth Lewis, and W. K. Lay. Interment was in the Columbus cemetry. Relatives who attended the funeral from out of town were, Mr. and Mrs. James Greig, of St Edward, Mrs. Elizabeth Fuller and Mrs. Frank Holly of Greaham. The four musical companies that will furnish two concerts daily at the Chau tauqua assembly which will open Tues day. Aug. 4, are worth more than tbe en tire cost of a season ticket. The Kirk smith Concert company is composed of four beautiful young ladies, three of them sisters. They are all instrumenta lists while one of them sings soprano and another contralto. The Hesperian Male quartette was the Chicago Uni versity Male Quartette of twelve years ago. They are all men of affairs, and have won laurels in other lines, but they have maintained their organization all of these years and have been togeth er every summer. Naturally they have a wide selection of songs and their voices have become beautifully harmon ized. They are exoelled by no quartette in America. The Sterlings are the strongest company of colored artists ob tainable. The peculiar timbre of their voices is especially adapted to out of door singing. Tbe Royal Hungarian orchestra consists of eight superb artiats and soloists." There is no bettaforcbesv tra on the platform. There is "war to the knife" between the Prohibitionists and license factions at Belgrade. At the spring election the license element won out. But the pro hibitionists, led by the resident minis ters, were stayers and succeeded in keep ing out tbe open saloon until Tuesday of last week when ths village board is sued licenses to two saloons. Last Wednesday an attorney for the Prohibi tionists come to Columbus and commenc ed mandamus proceedings against tba members of the village board on Judge Thomas' court, citing them to appear Thursday, July 23, and show cause why tbe licenses recently granted should not be revoked. The board will fight to sus tain their action, and on Monday W. W. Graham and Charles Robinson, members of the board, came to Oolumbus and re tained Judge Sullivan to take charge of the village's interests in the oase. Bel grade is the only wet town in Nance county. Nearly all the business men are in favor of license, and the attempt of the Prohibitionists to defeat tbe will of the people by raising technical objec tions will be hotly contested. The most agreeable surprise that Dud ley Christy ever bumped up against was in Columbus last Wednesday evening. Er. Christy lives in Kansas City. The day previous he had received a mes sage from Genoa, informing him that his brother, E. T. Christy, had perished in a mill fire, and he was on his way to that place to attend the funeral. He walked up to tbe desk at tbe Clotber hotel and was about to register when he noticed his brother's name on the page. The night clerk could give him no informa tion except that E. T. Christy had reg istered in the afternoon and left after supper. The day clerk, who was asleep, was routed out and furnished the infor mation that tbe guest in question had paid bis bill and departed after supper, and that he was the man who was sup posed to have been cremated when tbe mill burned at Genoa. The Kansas City brother boarded the Spalding freight the following morning for Genoa. E T.Christy, tbe miller, who was re ported to have perished in the Genoa mill fire last Tuesday afternoon, is alive after all. When the explosion of dust in the mill occurred, Christy leaped through a window and escaped, but his mind was temporarily deranged. He walked to Chapman, eleven miles east of Grand Island, before he came to himself, and from there purchased a ticket to Grand Island, and then wired his family that be waa safe and well. When the dispatoh arrived in Genoa citizens were dragging the mill pond for his remains. Previous search had been made in the rains without success, and the work of dragging the pond commenced, as it was thought possible that if he had succeeded in getting out of the mill that he had jumped into the water to extinguish his burning garments. Mr. Christy reached Oolumbus last Wednesday evening and drove to Genoa, reaching there late at night. The raoas next week. Try tbe Victoria cigar. Dra. Paul and'Matzea, Dentists.
