If there were any young grasshoppers in these parts last week, they have cer tainly by this time gone the way of the eurth. Water melons can be kept here until December at least, for on Christmas Samuel C. Smith and his family, enjoyed this luscious fruit. The capital, removal and the election of United States senator have excited the politicians of the state, and brought together at the capital a large number of ''people from all parts of the state, and we learn that the hotels at Lincoln are crowded with guests. We hear of many persons, and parti cularly school children, during the re cent cold snap, who suffered from frost bitten faces, noses, hands and feet. It appeared to us to be cold enough to make it quite enjoyable to the most fastidioub Laplander. The snow storm ' moved eastward it has been" Estimated, a the rate of forty miles an hour. The etorm, we learn, originated in Utah and Montana aud all along its course the mercury indicated the extreme cold ranging from 10 to 18 degrees below zero. During the storm a surcharge of electricity took possession cf telegraph wires in its course and compelled the operators to cut off the batteries, and in many instances the electricity was so strong that to prevent the tables from catchirg fire from the keys, it was abso lutely necessary to pull the plugs out of the switchboards. There iB no doubt whatever that the recent storm was electrical, but who can explain the phenomenon? As Told In The Hills. The dramatic event of the season will be the appearance here of Princess Wah-la-Waso, a full blooded Iroquois Indian who enacts the part of Pamnena in W. F. Mann's great Western drama "As Told in the Hills," will be here at the North Theatre on Thursday Jan. 14th. Mr. Mann has been negotiating with this charming little Indian girl for the past two years :d only recently, after depositing the sum of five thousand 'dollars, was he able to get the consent of her people for her to appear before the public.

Wednesday afternoon there was a change in the pro gram, Dr Thompson, au attache of the government bacteriological laboratory being substituted for Dr. A. T. Peters.

The following resolu tion, presented by C. H. Sheldon, was adopted: Resolved. Tfant our represen tatives in the legislature be requested to aGeist in the enactment of legislation re quiring all cattle imported for breeding purposes to be tested for evidences of tubercolosis and other contagious dis eases. That the meeting place was an ideal one was the sentiment of all pres ent, and the only regret was that more were not present to enjoy, not only the hospitality of the association, but to listen to and take part in the excellent program. Alonzo Breed, who for the past few months has been suffering from acute dropsy, passed away at his home in west Columbus Thursday. The deceased has been a resident of this city for the past twenty-five years, coming to this city in 1881, where he and his estimable wife have since resided. Mr. Breed was born in Essex county, New York, Nov. 20th, 1831, where he resided until the civil war broke out, he then enlisted in Com pany A. Twentieth New York Infantry, when) he served four years of active ser vice. In February 1866, one year after the close of the war, he was united in the holy bonds of matrimony to Miss Bennett, to this union two children were born, namely, Charles T. Breed of Ce dar Rapids, Iowa, and Mrs. Charles Johnson of this city, who with their aged mother survive the deceased. Dur ing the first few years of his residence in this city Mr. Breed was engaged in the dray business, but of late years he has been unable to perform heavy work. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon from the family residence. Rev. Roush pastor of the VM. E. church officiating, and burial was made in the Columbus ceme tery. The Journal is in receipt of a letter from Edward P. McCormick, one of the old timers of this city, who came here in 1869, and was employed as pharmacist in C. B. Stillman's drug store when it was located on West Eleventh street, weet of Paul Hegel's cold storage. Mr. McCormick was here when the first iBsue of The Journal was published, and calls to mind the enthusiasm in the small frontier town when the first issue was printed, and the warm welcome the Turner family received when they arrived from their Ohio home. When Mr. McCormick left Columbus in tht 70's he went to Oakdale, Neb , where, in company with L N. Taylor, they estab lished the Pen and Plow. Of late years, on account of his health, he has made his home in the west, and at present is postmaster at Cave Creek, Arizona. It is understood that one of our citi zens will file a complaint against the train crew that was responsible for blocking all the road crossings from Schronder's mill east last Sunday morn ing. The train stopped just before the members of St. Bonaventura's church, who live on the south side, were return ing to their homes. The train stood there for over thirty minutes, making a number of women wait in the severe cold for that length of time The action of the train crew was entirely uncalled for and they should he called to account for it. Last Saturday evening T. B. Hord of Central City, and owner of the large ele vator in this city, was stricken with paralysis at his home. Drs. 'Allison and Krummer of Omaha were summoned to his aid, and after a careful examination said that Mr. Hord's condition was not as bad as they had feared, and that there was every prospect of his permanent re covery without any effects of the stroke. Mr. Hord is widely known all over the state, and his sudden illness was a mat ter of concern to many people, both in this city and elsewhere. Charles Krebs and G. J.

P. O. -Block Last Saturday night' the Heintz elec tric light plant, which has served the ' city about twenty year?, waa relieved of half of its load, the new plant taking care of all the lights on the south side. and Sundav the remaining portion of the city was connected with the new plant, so that Monday the old plant was entirely shut down. On account of the heavy load carried by the old plant the new one had to be put into service as soon as possible, and as a result the con nections for the street lamps have not been made, and the city is in darkness for a few days. The machinery at tbe new plant is working quite satisfactorily, but it requires constant' attention until tbe bearings are worn smooth. Tbe two boilers, which are ample for the combin ed engines, are being used at present. as the condenser is not in working order yet. George Bradsbaw struck the sidewalk and struck it hard last Thursday morn ing, in fact he was unconscious for twenty minutes.

The same performance was gone through Friday morning, and Bradshaw was placed under 8500 bonds to keep the peace, and he is now in the county jail as he is unable to furnish the required bond.

This has happened before, but it is tbe first time he haa been placed under bond. John Seipp and Miss Clara Wolf were married last Wednesday evening at 7:30 o'clock.

When he moved to Platte street and fix ed up his new place he thought a smaller boiler would take care of all the business but it has increased so rapidly that the change for something larger was made necessary. m Thirteen degrees below zero last Wed nesday morning.
