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

refreshments at the suggestion of the

and likewise be thankful for the efficien

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.

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.

"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.
