Turner & Hnlat completed' their removal into their new bank build ing on Monday. They now have very commodious quarters, and are prepared to do any amonnt of business in the best manner. The fire department made a splendid parade Thursday morning, preceded by the Columbus Cornet band. After par ading through the principal streets of the city, and being reviewed by mayor and council, the department retired for refreshments at the suggestion of the mayor. We have good reason to know, and likewise be thankful for the efficien cy of the Columbus Fire Department. which is not excelled in this respect any where. One of the most important national questions is that of transportation. Con gress has the constitutional right to reg ulate commerce, and in -puraaaaeek-jof this power we see no reason why con gress may not construct a trunk railroad for freight at least, between the Atlantic seaboard and the Missouri river. The west very greatly needs a system of cheap transportation for her suplus product, which she is now compelled to part with at -vmoet ruinous prices, and the east feels the same great want for a reverse reason. The Mylet-Niemoller case, which was up for trial at the November term of the district court last week, was settled out of court, the plaintiff, Wm. Mylet, who sued to recover 500, receiving $250 Peter C. Lindbald, who sued the Union Pacific for $1,950 damages, because of a hand car accident in September, 1907, was given a verdict for $1, 150. He claim ed that the accident was due to the neg ligence of the section foreman. The company produced a recepit for $50 from Lindbald in settlement of all claims, but the jury returned the verdict for the above amount. The reorganization of the Nebraska national guard is one of the problems that will confront Governor-elect Shallenber ger, and in order to get opinions of ne of the beet posted men on military affairs, he came to Columbus last week to consult Dr. G. D. Evans on this matter. The doctor's experience and the interest be took in the national guard while surgeon general has placed him in the front rank in such matters and the governor-elect was seeking his advice. The report that the doctor was seeking something from the new administration is without foundation, as it was the governor-elect who desired information regarding the national guard and he came to one whom he considered one of the best informed men in the state.

His method of doing business was to go into a town and sign some merchant's name to a check, get it cashed and then move on. He was traced to Grand Island, but gave the officers the slip at that place and came to i Columbus, where he had mail await ing bim. In order to avoid suspicion he presented an order at the post office for his mail, giving the impression that he was not the man. but before he got it I became suspicious and ML TbeoMosrs then found out that he had some bag gage and that it was ordered sent to Norfolk, and they immediately instruct ed the officers at that place to arrest him. He was brought to this city on the freight Monday evening and taken to Omaha Tuesday morning by a deputy sheriff from Douglas county. Living ston was also wanted in Chicago, and the authorities from the Windy City were on his track first, but the Omaha people found out he was under arrest and man aged to get him first. "The Farmer's Daughter" the present season's emotionally dramatic rural dra ma, which is generally selected as the successor to "The Old Homestead" and "Way Down Eaat", will be the attraction at North Theatre on Wednesday Nov. 25th. As a play it is described as a dramatic relief from the general run of similar works, depending wholely and solely on its truth of nature, its moral lesson and consistency. There are four acts, and it is one of those dramatic of ferings wherein the audience become so deepely enthused as to fancy the vari ous characters their friends or enemies, in keeping with the incidents of the play, or in other words, become imaginative participants. A splendid company pre senting a splendid play always will be welcome the world over, and that is what may be looked forward to in the forth coming presentation of '-The Farmer's Daughter" in this city.
