S. P. Curtis, a resident of Columbus
fort the last twenty-five years, died at
the hospital Thursday, death resulting
from old age. The funeral was held
Saturday morning at 10:30 from the
Methodist church, the pastor, Rev.
Rousb, conducting the services. Solo
mon Phelps Curtis was born in the vil
lage of Swanville, Waldo county, Maine,
July 6, 1815, and died Oct. 22, 1906, well
along in bin 91th year. He was about 18
years old at the time of the great mete
oric shower, generally called "The
Falling Stars," and he remembered the
occasion very distinctly. He was the
youngest of eibt children, nil of whom
have proceeded him to the 6pjrit world
many yers ago. At a very early age be
took to the ait water, us his brothers
before him had done, und was before the
mast three years. When he was 20 years
old he apprenticed himself and entered
the shipyards, working at Portsmouth,
X. H , and Bridgeport. Conr.. where be
learned the trade of tbip carpenter. He
was married in 1855 to Elizabeth Mettler
at Belvidere, N. J , five children being
born to them, three of whom are living.
In 1857 he removed to central Illinois,
locating in Peoria county. In those
days railroads were few and the trip was
made by boat via Pittsburg, Cincinnati
and St. Louie, and then up the Illinois
river. Here he engaged again in boat
building. In 1S71 be moved again to
Stark conuty, Illinois, and there being
no boats to build, turned his hand at
house carpentering which trade he fol
lowed for the balance of his useful deys.
The family moved to Nebraska in April.
1883, and located in Columbus, which
has been the home ever since. He leaves
three children his wife having died in
February, 1900. The children are Mrs.
A. L. Beaty, Cedar Rapids, Nebraska,
Fred Curtis of this city, and J. M. Curtis,
Tamarack, Minnesota.
Last Friday morning about two
o'clock, fire was discovered in the gen
eral merchandise store of M. L. Bruce
at Monroe, and in a short the building
and stock was a pile of ruins. Mrs. O. R.
Watts, telephone central, discovered the
blaze first and notified the town people
by telephone, but the fire had too much
of a start, and the bucket brigade devot
ed their attention to saving the adjoin
ing buildings. The orgin of the fire is
a mystery, as the stove was not in use
during the day. There was $8,000 in
surance on the stock and $2,000 on the
ceklbuydingj which was the property of .E
A. Gerrard. The water works syBtem
which the town is putting in, has not
been completed, all the myterial being
on the ground. During the progress of
the fire it was thought for some time
that the Walrath & Sherwood Lumber
Co's yard and the large Omaha Elevator
would burn, but the fact that there was
no wind whatever saved these buildings
and some others.
Clothing thieves got in their work in
Columbus last Friday, but they were ap
prehended and are now serving sentences
in the county jail. George Gurlock,
August Miller and Josef Hulman were
charged with stealing two pair of pants
valued at $17, and two vests valued at $8
from Greisen Bros, store. They were
up before Poliqe Judge O'Brien Monday
and Gurlock was found guilty and sen
tenced to thirty days in the county jail.
The other two, Miller and Hulman, were
not found guilty on this count but were
held on a complaint filed by J. H, Galley
charging them with stealing a brown
sack coat valued at 15, a pair of pants
valued at S3 and a vest valued at-$1.50.
The police judge found all three guilty
on this count and sentenced them to
thirty days each in the county jail, every
other day on bread and water. This gives
Gurlock, the main offender, a sentence
of sixty day & All are now serving their
sentences as guests of Sheriff Oarrig.
At the close of services in the Catholic
church at Duncan last Sunday, the mar
riage banns of Alexander Eozlouski ot
Duncan and Miss Mattie Hecker of this

the other trapped the cash drawer.
Fortunately there was very little change
in the drawer as the. night man bad just
had occassion to leave the building for a
few minutes and had taken precaution
to hide the change. The tramps secured
about $1 in all and disappeared, probably

For further particulars in- j
Last Wednesday evening a meeting of
all tke large contributors to the Y. M.
O. A. building was held, and besides
these the members of the original provi
sional committee were present. The
meeting was called to talk over and ad
vise regarding the best means to be em
ployed in raising the balance now due on
the building and equipment. Plans for
the opening week were all discussed.
The report of the provisional treasurer
and executive committee showed the ne
cessity of having about $7,500 with
which to complete and properly equip
the building. Many of those present ex
pressed their appreciation and commen
dation of the work of the building and
furnishiug cpainiHtee, and C H. Shel
don, wbo gave the largest amount for the
original building, commended the com
mittees and said he wanted to see the
building finished and equipped in a
proper untnner, and felt that the bal
ance needed would be properly expended
and was absolutely necessary. On be
half of himself and son, C. C , he pledg
ed $1,000, with the understanding that
the execntive committee would secure
the balance needed. Since the meeting
the soliciting committee have been out
t vo days, with very good results, and
they find people ready to respond, and
hear the expression on every hand thht
the building should .fee completed and
eq nipped in the best possible manner.
Piige after page of the dialogue of
'-The Devil" with illustrations by the
sr.re mny be found in many of this
month's magazines. It is an unusual
thing for a magazine to devote so much
of its space to any one dramatical offer
ing and no magazine would do so were
it not The Devil" itself is a most
unusual play. During the three weeks
and one half's run, which the play has
had in the Burwood theatre in Omaha,
the entire press of the city was a unit in
its indorsements. Perhaps no other
dramatic attraction ever appearing in
Omaha was handed as much newspaper
space as was devoted to referring and
commenting upon "The Devil" as given
by the Burwood Stock Company. That
tbis attraction is to be here Friday, Oct.
30, is a matter of gratification for local
theatre goers. The production is to be
brought here intact just as presented at
the home theatre of the superb organiza
tion. If the engagement here is to be a
repetition of the immense business which
"The Devil" drew for thirty-nine consec
utive performances in Omaha, then it
would be wise that yon make your seat
reservations well in advance. North
