It is the misfortune of any great suc cess, that unscrupulous persons attempt to trade on its reputation. Such is tbe case with The Holy City. Certain movinu picture operators, in various pirts of the country have been present ing pictures of the Passion Play and de ceiving the public by advertizing it as The Holy City. Thus tbe public, ex pecting to see this great play, have found the exhibition only a moving picture show, and hence were disappoint ed, and many of tbe less informed have gone away with tbe impression that this disappointing 'swindle was the original Holy City. This ib a grave mistake and a great injustice to one of .the finest plays ever written. The Holy City is a powerful drama, in four acts, presented with a cast of excellent actors, wearing tbe most elaborate and beautiful cos turns and presenting the great play with a full equipment of splendid scen ery. It is not a stereopticon or magic lantern show; but a tine play, a drama, given on a regular theatre stage, with all the characters played by living men and women.

But there is a possibility that some day such a line will be built in fact, in recent years the .project has been seriously considered on several occasions. But the following from the Norfolk Daily News would in dicate that actual work on suchTa line is to begin next month and Columbus is to beone of the towns through which the proposed road will bd built: The Yank ton, Norfolk fc Southern railroad, now being actively promoted, is to parallel tbe Union Pacific from Norfolk to Co lumbus, where it will cross the Platte. The road will then extend southwest to York, reaching Hastings with a short spur. It will enter Kansas at Smith Center and will follow tbe tier of counties to the south to tbe Oklahoma line, pas sing through tbe county beats. From Oklahoma it will pass through Wichita Falls, Texas, to Cisco, Brownville and Austin and thence east to Galveston Unlike Fremont Hill's proposed Yank ton Southern road, the Yankton, Nor folk & Southern will not pass through Wichita, Kan., but will go fifty miles west of that city. The projected line to the gulf is 1,200 miles long. Tbe air line from Galveston to Yankton is 900 miles. While for the present at least operations will be carried ou from Yankton accord ing to tin: charter of the new road the general office of the company has to be located in Yankton. Norfolk, Columbus and York are tbe principal Nebraska cities through which the road is slated to pass. Tbe company, it is annonnced in Yankton, is in tbe hands of W. P. Dickinson & Company of Chicago, who are financing tbe road and who have built tbe southern division of which 105 miles are in operation. It is said that while Mr. Graham is still at the bead of the Norfolk, Yanton & Southern, a change of officers will take place within a week. Work on tbe bridge at Yank ton is to begin by March 9. A tempor ary bridge is first to be thrown over tbe river to reach the gravel. The perma nent bridge is to be forty-one feet wide, with a double railroad track, two wagon tracks and two footbridges. It will cost according to tbe promoters, $1,000,000.

P. O. Block In compliance with tbe action of the council at their last meeting, two hun dred copies of the ordinance vacating twenty feet on the east side of O.ive street for the use of the Union Pacific, were printed and distributed. At tbe head of tbe ordianance was a call for a citizens' meeting to be held in the coun cil chamber Monday evening, and it was in response to this cull that about sixty of the representative business men of the city met at the city ball on that date. The meeting was called to order by Mayor Phillips, and Henry Ragatz was chosen chairman with Daniel Schramas secretary. Attorney Cornelius, who drew up tbe proposed ordinanoe, was tbe first speaker, and he explained the various provisions of tbe ordinance. H. A. Clarke started tbe discussion by bringing up tbe point as to the time tracks could obstruct the street, under tbe provisions of tbe ordinance, and favored inserting a clause limiting tbe time to a few minutes before tbe arrival and departure of trains. There were a number who supported tbe ordinanoe in its present form and there were also those who opposed it quite strenuously, claiming that it would eventually close the street. Just before tbe close of the meeting a resolution was introduced to ascertain bow tbe meeting stood on tbe question, and tbe vote finally takeu was 35 for to 20 against. Some of those opposed to the ordinance claimed this did jot fnirly represent the sentiment. On Friday night tbe ordinance will come up for final action, and in the meantime those interested in tbe matter, eitber for or against, are seeing to it that tbe coun cilmen in the various wards thoroughly understand tbe opinion in tbe matter of those they represent. After suffering for almost a year as a result of ruptured blood vessel, which occured while he was assisting in the unloading of a heavy box of freight, Adaniram J.

Father Marcellinus officiat ing and burial was in the Catholic ceme tery. Last year the members of Engine Company No. 1 concluded to have a smoker and invite all tbe honorary and active members of tbe company. And so well did they carry out their plans that the smoker was at once made an an nual affair. Last Wednesday evening the second smoker was given by the com pany at Maennerchor ball and it was, if anything, a more enjoyable affair than tbe first one. Besides the refreshments and cigars an orchestra of fifteen mem bers, composed of either active or honor ary members- of tbe Engine Company, furnished some excellent music. After tbe banquet was served there were short talks, Sam Gass acting as toast master. There were two out of town members of the compauy present, Gus Locker of Omaha and Mort Murphy of Seward, and the former who was a charter mem ber of tbe company, to'd of fighting fires in early days..

Rector and valued very much by him, that was made by tbe girls of Salem, Wis., in 1861, and presented to tbe boys who enlisted from that place, provided they would erect a Hag pole for it. So many a day it floated from a ninety-six foot pole at Salem, for which no doubt the boys of that company, far away from home, had sweet memories, while they nurcbed to the tune of "The Girl I Left Behind Me " The attendance at the exercises was quite large, and taken all in all, the oc casion was a success in every particular.

Someone says be is hunting a wife, but rumor says he is in Sherman county. Mrs. Gertie Zimmer has commenced to move on tbe farm she has rented for the coming year, which is six miles north east of Columbus. On account of there being two sales on tbe same day on Route 4 last Thursday neither one was well attended, but ever -thing sold fairly well. Ernest Iossi says be is ready to begin planting potatoes on March 1. But there are some who think he will be obliged to shovel snow before be b tarts. Chris Abegglen came down from Kear ney last week and is shelling bis corn, Donoghne Bros, doing the work. Obas seems to he well pleased with bis new home in Buffalo county. Those who imagined that the cold weather for the winter was over were rudely awakened to tbe fact that Old Boreas is still here. When tbe record of thirteen below zero was made in Jan uary, it was thought this wosld be tbe limit for this season, but Mosday morn ing tbe thermometer registered sixteen below, which went it three better. And now that tbe water in the river has been melting and freezing for some time, it looks as though the ice was heavy enough to make considerable trouble when it begins to move. Superintendent Lecron reports an enthusiastic and interesting teachers' meeting at Humphrey last Saturday, and tbe attendance was better than was anticipated.

Thtre is one event that is always look ed forward to by the young people of the city, and especially those who enjoy dancing, and that is the annual mas querade ball given by Pioneer Hook and Ladder Company No. 1. This, the thirty-fifth annual bail, will be fully up to former ones, and Columbus people can anticipate a good time. This year, the boys are going to take extra pre cautions regarding the admittance of objectionable people, and those who mask are assured that they will not be apt to meet any such people. The boys are going to make this ball better than former ones, if possible. A. M. Avery, manager of the Gray store at Fullerton, aud Miss Nettie Miller of this city, were married at tbe borne of tbe bride, on West Fifteenth street, this Wednesday morning, Rev.

The groom is a cousin of W. L Chrno weth of this city, and for the last six months has been located at Fullerton as manager of the store at that place. Mr. and Mrs. Avery went to Fullerton Wed nesday, where they will make theirhome. There is always some reason for suc cess. In this ace of commercialism, everything must have some real merit in it to be a lastiDg success. Anything must be worth one's time and money, or tbe public will soon relegate it to tbe rubbish pile. This is as true of plays as of everything else. They mnat be real, sterling, sound and solid value to hare a long continued success. The ever growing triumph of Clarence Bennett's "The Holy City" tells its own story of the triumph of real merit and true worth "One of tbe few, tbe immortal plays that were not born to die!" Mr. Bennett himself will be seen here in this production, which gunrantes its merit. Tee dance of Salome is another drawing feature and is handled gracefully by Edna Barshail.
