The last few days we have been en joying as fine weather in this part of the "Great Auierican Desert' as any man could reasonably ak for. We have seen the trumpet purchased for whichever company of the Colum bus Ore department shall happen to be most successful at the election shortly to be held, and we can pronounce it, "without fear of successful contradic tion,' to be a tbibg of beauty? The Omaha Sportsmen's club, on the autumn hunt, brought in a nice lot of (fame, which counted up in all six hun dred and three. The game has been sold at public auction, and the proceeds will be given to the National Aid Society. The hunter, as usual, is generous to a fault. Who among us would give our last chicken? We are infermed that Mr. J. B. Beebe, residing near St. Paul, is engaged in the lime business, a very good quality of that desirable article having been found in that country. We would not be sur prised to hear of good quarries of build ing stone being opened there before long. If we could only secure navigation of the Loup river, it would be one more good point for the welfare of Columbus. We are informed that Wm. Burgess, Indian agent for the Pawnees, has been appointed by the Department of the In terior, a special agent to proceed to the Indian Territory and locate the new agency for the Pawnees. So soon as the Pawnees arrive at their new home a sub-agency will be established. The old agency here contained 288,000 acres of good land, and the new agency will con tain only about 24,000. The marriage of Mum Edith Lillian .Robbios to Warren F. Day was quietly celebrated Saturday at 12 o'clock at the home of the bride's sister, Miss Ida Bob bins. 1931 B street. The marriage ser vice was impressively read by the Rev. Lewis Gregory and included the double ring ceremony. At the appointed hour Miss Alice Towne played the Lohengrin bridal chorus which announced the ap proach of the bridal party. The brides maids Miss Zola Dellecker of Omaha, Miss Ena Bracb, of Hastings, Miss Claire Dovey, of Plattsmouth and Miss Martha Pot of Columbus led the way. They were followed by the maid of honor, Miss Helen Day, sister of the groom. The bride entered with her brother, C. B. Robbins of Ced?r Rapids, Iowa, who gave hr away and was preceded by her neice, Vera Anderson of Genoa, who carried the wedding rings. Only rela tives and close friends were included in the guest list. A wedding breakfast followed the ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Day left in the evening for their home in Richfield, Idaho, where tbey will be at home to friends after December 1. The above is taken from the Lincoln Daily Star. The bride, who frequently visited in this city has made many friends, who wish her much success and happiness in her new home. In a letter just received by P. J. Mc Caffrey from Charles Hudson, who left here a short lime ago for Wilkeeon, Washington, relates a thrilling adventure that recently happened to Mr. Hudson, and we tell it in his language: "About two weeks ago we went out hunting, and of all the rough countries and timber so thick that it is dark at noon, and I got lost for two days and very nearly perish ed with cold, but the good Lord must have sent me the help I prayed for. for I was just all in, when I found a man on a creek, and he had the necessaries of life with him that brought the kinks oat of me. I had fallen in the creek and had to swim out, and I was so wet and cold that I do believe that if I had not found that man when I did I could not have stood it that night, for my matches and cartridges were all wet and I could not get a fire, bo yon see the Lord sure sent that man to me so I should be saved a little longer, and I promise that I will not go hunting in such a rough country any more."

Hall, ""the man who was struck by Union Pacific train No. 10 last Wed nesday afternoon, is now a patient at St. Mary's hospital, having been taken there immediately after the accident. The in jured man is suffering from a bad cut on the head, a bruised shoulder and a broken arm. At first it was thought that he might have received an internal injury, but we are pleased to state that this is not the case and although the injuries are very painful none of them ate con sidered dangerous. When the accident occurred Mr. Hall was walking down the track, intending to come to Columbus and as the train neared he stepped aside to let it pass, but in all probability did not step far enough away and was sttnek by the beams on the pilot of the engine Mr. Hall has been employed by the Union Pacific company as watchman at the Loup river bridge for some time.

Returns from the east indicate a heavier vote for Taft, in many states, than was given Roosevelt four years ago. New York leads with a plurality of 200,000, and New Jersey shows republican gains. Taft will have over 300 votes in the electoral college, and 242 are required to elect. Hughes is re-elected governor of New York, and Lilley in Connecticut. Wisconsin, the home of Senator LaFollette, gives Taft 75,000, and Illinois also gives a heavy majority for the republican ticket Nebraska is very close, with Shal leuberger running ahead of Bryan and the democrats claiming his election, and also that of Bryan. While the cities went for the democratic ticket, the country precincts are expected to show gains for Taft and Sheldon, and a good chance that they will win. In this congressional, district the re sult is doubtful, and democrats claim Latta by a small majority, but here the cities are for the democrats and the country for the republicans. One other democratic congressman, G. M. Hitchcock,is elected,and Omaha gives a small majority for Bryan with Shall enberger leading him. Platte county goes democratic all the way from 900 to,rJ,200, and the city of Columbus gives Bryan about 300 majority.
