Dieckman, of Omaha, will preach in German, in the forenoon, at 10 a. m., and Rev. A. S. Foster, of the Nebraska Avenue church, will preach in the evening at 7 p. m. We met Mr. Wm. Boyd, the contractor for the Jackson, (now Duncan) Platte river bridge one day last week, and from him we learn that fifteen spans of the superstructure have been erected, that nearly all the piles have been driven and that the bridge will be ready for the use of the publio within two weeks. The entire bridge is fourteen hundred and twenty-five feet in length, each span seventy-five feet in length. Mr. Boyd htiB a force of twenty men at work, and Ed Dwyer, the cook of the gang, thinks a man who mixes a bHrrel of flour every eight days ought soon to know some thing about cooking. Let it be knows that the-U.P. R.R., Oo will continue to furnish cheap coal along the entire length of their road, and at all seasons of the year, and the good results to the country and hence to the ruilroad company itself, would soon be apparent to every one. Manufacturers would gain a foothold wherever there would be a prospect of success, and cheap fuel would tend to make success a certainty. The country would be settled more rapidly, thus giving sale to railroad lauds, and still adding to the products of the country, and to the transportation work of the road. Let the established policy of the road be . cheap fuel, and let that policy become known. The legend of "Parsifal" which Messrs. Martin and Emery will offer at the North Theatre crystalizes around two mystic objects, a cup or chalice and a spear. The lioly Grail and the Sacret Spear as they are called in the play and by poets, have been the subject of more song and story than any other themes in history. As legend will have it, both the spear and the grait' were presented to Joseph of Aramatbea by Pontious Pilate. The spear is accounted as be ing the one that pierced the side of the Saviour at the Crucifiction and the chalice as being the cup used at the last supper and later to catob the blood of Him who died on the Cross. Around these two central objects is woven the poetic and mighty theme used by Rich ard Wagner in "Parsifal." Claral Addison, the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Christensen, died Tuesday evening at the home, Thirteen th and R street, after a week's illness with hydrocepolis. The body was taken to Hampton Wednesday for burial and the funeral will be held Thursday. Mr. and Mrs. Christensen moved from that place about two and one-half months 7 ago and he is employed in the Fox fc Brown barbershop.

Columbus' Frontier bays oelebration opened Monday night, despite the fant that it was chilly and exceedingly disa greeable The C. W. Parker shows, which will furnish the attractions for the week, arrived in the city late Sunday afternoon, and the work of unloading was delayed owing to the fact that it rained. The continual downpour Mon day prevented most of the shows from being ready to open in the evening. The leading attraction, the Roman Coliseum, is one of the strongest shows ever exhib ited in Columbus. This miniature hip podrome has been the talk and craze of every town it has been presented in by the Parker shows. Six big acts are given, some of the performers being known throughout the amusement world, and high priced artists. The four Lorellas give a posing act that is alone well worth the money. The mas terpieces of the world's most famous sculptors are posed in lifelike manner, so much so that Madison Square Garden, New York City, held them for more than 300 days. Martin Morales and family, Mexican acrobats, have a horizontal bar act which has been claimed by critics to be one of the best ever seen in America. They have only been in the United States a little over three months, and speak a broken accent Alvino and Geare, con tortion artists, intersperse the varied program by an act of hand to hand work and contortion stunts that border on the impossible. The strong entertainment is brought to a fitting close by the fonr Loretta's in their acrobatic and mat tumbling. This act has already found places on the strongest vaudeville cir cuits in the country and the Loretta's have just completed a summer engage ment with the Campbell Bros, circus, this alone showing the caliber of their work. Captain Cardona's trained wild animal show, which has just completed a summer run at Biverview Park, Chicago, is noted for its hazardous acta. Captain Cardona is -without doubt the only animal trainer who has ever attempted the dangerous act of putting his head into the mouth of a full grown and ferocious Nubian lion. This he does at every performance for the amusement of the people. His collection of lions, dogs, leopards and other animals is claimed to be one of the best in the country. Besides these two strong shows, eight other equally as strong attractions are presented by the Parker shows Pharaoh's daughter, the Tyro lean Alps, Hale's tours, seven of the largest snakes 'inNcaptivity, sea lions,' ocean wave, Ferris wheel and the Par ker jumping horse carry -us-all, are to be seen and enjoyed. Three big strong free attractions are also carried, including the leap the gap. by Diavolon. A special from Lincoln to the Omaha Bee, dated September 27, conveys the following information: In this day of fast multiplying state institutions Gover nor Sheldon may have another to be disposed of by the next legislature. In his message to the legislature he may include a recommendation for the dis posal of the Genoa Indian school build ings and grounds by the state. In all probability the goernraentwilI turn the property over to the state free of charge. Then the question of its use by the state will come before the legislature. The government is giving up its Indian school property throughout the country and the only one of the kind in Nebras ka, that at Genoa, Nance county, may be turned over to the state without price. The increase in state institutions and state departments has been somewhat rapid during the last ten years, but thus far there appears to be room for more. What shall the legislature do with the Genoa Indian school property? At the last session of the legislature there was a bill for the creation of an institute for dipsomaniacs and epileptics. Some talk of a division of the Home for the Friend less and the hospital for crippled child ren, now maintained at Lincoln, and a new deal for the Industrial School for Women was discussed, but no change was made. The dipsomaniacs which the state has assumed control over, not withstanding the opposition of many members of the legislature; are cared for only at the Lincoln hospital for the in sane. It has been argued that the epileptic patients at all of the insane hospitals of the state should be segregat ed. There has been talk of a state hospi tal for consumptive wards of the state, but no action has been taken. The farm lands and the buildings at the govern ment school at Genoa can be used to good advantage by the Btate if the legis lature will only decide what purpose the property is best suited for. There ap pears to be plenty of Normal school pro perty at Peru and Kearney and plenty of room for soldiers and sailors at Grand Island and Milford. Iowa has assumed control of its dipsomaniacs and Nebras ka has followed this example, and if the plan is to be continued the Genoa school property may be made useful for this purpose. Governor Sheldon has received word from the general government that if the state has any use of the Genoa property it may have the same provid ing congress will pas a bill making the donation. Governor Sheldon favors ad ditional experiment stations of the state farm, but Genoa is considered to be too far east fortius purpose. Charley Becher has gone to Omaha for a few days' visit with relatives, from there ha intends going to Denver, Colo rado, where he will remain indainitely. Dr. Nituuu, Demtkfc 18 8. G v R.

The Pawnees came from the south about the year 1400, as near ss oan be figured from what John Dunbar could learn, a missionary who worked among the Pawnees in 1831. When the Pawnees oame to Nebraska they found the Skeedes occupying the country, and fought and subdued them, adopting the survivors into the tribe. The Pawnees were evidently a branch of the Wichitas, who occupied all the country now em braced in southern Kansas and northern Oklahoma. The Wiohitas and Pawnees speak the same language, and when the latter tribe was removed from Nebraska, at their request they were assigned to a reservation adjoining the Wiohitas in what was then the Indian territory.
