Lieut. Young informs us that the list
of those who will require aid to obtain
seed for Polk county has been swelled
from 386 to 452; for Butler county from
495 to 536. It is now generally under
stood that the appropriation made by
congress was for food and clothing only,
and it is supposed that the enrollment
being made for seed is designed for use
by the Stat Aid society. - ,
There were two gentleman in our sanc

Tl.e oratorical contest which was held
in the gymnasium of the High school
Monday evening wa well attended. The
program began at eight-thirty. Profes
sor Britell addresed the audience for a
few minutes and stated that he was
sorry to imform his hearers that Super
intendent Conn would not be present as
he was called to Norfolk Friday after
noon by a message announcing the death
of a friend, there was also some very im
portant business which needed immedi
ate attention, and as it was a personal
request from the deceased, Mr. Conn
-felt in duty bound to comply with the
request. The first number on the pro
gram was a song by the sixth grade,
Mi68 Rorer being the instructor. Se
cond, a song by the pupils of the third
and fourth grades, Second ward, with
Miss Schupbach as teacher. Following
this Miss Maud E. Galley appeared be
fore the audience and chose for her sub
ject "Wild Zingarella" (A Gypsy Flow
er Girl of Spain.) The recitation was
well rendered. This was followed by a
song by the pupils of Miss Lucbsinger's
division of the third and fourth grades.
Following this fifteen little girls chosen
from Miss Turner's division of the third
and fourth grade sang two songs. Har
old Kramer then delivered a recitation
entitled "Roosevelt's Tribute to Lincoln"
(at Lincoln's log cabin home on the 100th
anniversary of his birth.) Miss Week's
then sang a vocal solo entitled "Florian
Song." "The Death Disk" a recitation
written by Mark Twain, was then de
livered by Miss Velma Cover. Then
Miss Elsie Jaeggi and Anna Marty
played a piano duet and Miss Marguerite
Willard played a piano solo. Rev.
Rouf-h, pastor of the M. E. church an
nounced the decision of the judges, who
awarded Miss Velma Cover first place,
and Bhc will represent the Columbus
High school in the State Oratorical Con
test which will be held in Norfolk soon.
The contestants were all members of the
Senior class and owing to the fact that
this was their first time to participate in
a programme of this character, we can
say that each contestant did splendidly.
The judges chosen to make the decision
were Mrs. D. Rurr Jones, Rev. Rouen,
and County Superintendent Lecron.
The gymnasium was beautifully decor
ated in the Senior and High School
colors and throughout the programme
was a success.
jMre. T. J. Lynam, who has been the
guest of her mother, Mrs. Thomas Lyoss
for several months, was called to Omaha
several days ago by a message announc
ing the serious illness of her husband,
who for the past year has been receiving
treatment in an Omaha hospital, where
he was suffering from a nervous brake
down. Shortly after her arrival in Oma
ha Mrs. Lynam was advised by the at
tending physician that her husband's
recovery was very doubtful. From this'
time.on Mr. Lynam continued to grow
worse until Wednesday morning at 4:30
when death relieved him from his suffer
ing. Mr. Lynam was a plumber by
trade and followed this line of work un
til his health failed. Deceased was born
in 1871, and was the oldest son of Mrs.
Ellen Lynam who now resides in Oma
ha, llis father passed away nine years
ago. In 1901 Mr. Lynam was united in
marriage to Miss Katberine Lyons, for
merly of this city, and to this union four
children were born, one boy and three
girls, ranging in age from seven years to
a babe live months old. Besides his wife
and children the deceased leaves a moth
er, two brothers and one sister, all of
whom live in Omaha. The funeral was
held in Omaha Thursday, morning at
nine o'clock. Relatives who attended
the funeral from this city were Mrs.
James Haney, and the Misses Nora and
Alice Lyons.
The following from the Central Oity
Republican tells of the marriage of
Prof. Fritz W. A. Paul, the new leader of
the Columbus .City Band: Prof. W. A.
Paul and Miss Mae Porter were married
at Columbus last Saturday evening, Rev.
Neumarker of that place performing the
ceremony. It had been rumored for
some time that this event was to be
looked for, but nevertheless the friends
of the young people were taken some
what by surprise when the news was
given the following morning. The bride's
sister, Miss Margaret Porter, and Miss
Metta Cooper accompanied the contract
ing parties to Columbus and were pres
ent at the ceremony. The bride is a
Central City girl having been born and
raised here. A young lady of high con
nections, winning ways and accomplish
ed she has been prominent in social cir
cles here for many years. The professor
is a musican of rare ability, and came
herefrom New York. He especially ex
cels as a band leader, and to his training
the Central City Band owes' in a large
measure its recent high state of effloienoy.
His reputation in this respect has
become so generaL-that he has been en
gaged as leader of the Columbus band
at which point he and his newly wed
bride will make their home. Jfrof. Paul
will also instruct the bands at Schuyler
and North Bend.

Good reports received from the pheR.'
ants released here last season, the asso

birds, which will not be liberated, how
ever, until fall. New members are
always welcome in this association, and

V
One of tbe brightest and most enter
taining comedies wrilten recently is th"
Swedish-American play "Tilly Olson,'
tonounced to appear at the North Thea
tre Wednesday March 24. Tbe piece ia
a novelty in the way of Scandinavian
drama in that tbe leading character is a
yonng Swedish girl. The fair sex has'
been somewhat slighted by tbe construc
tors of Auglo-Swedish dramas hereto
f or. Several successful plsys of this olasa
have hitherto been of tbe sterner sex.
-'Tilly" will undoubtedly prove a quaint
and interesting type of stage creation.
Tbe scenes of the new comedy are laid
in tbe Northwest f nd tbe story has to do
with the tribulations of a daughter of
Scandinavia while serving in the capa
city of a "charity domestic'' in tbe fam
ily of some Minnesota farmer-folk.
Fortune comes to the fair young Swed
ish girl later and. ber career is crowned
by ber marriage to the man she loved
during the days of her adversity. A fine
scenic equipment will be provided for
tbe new play and a company of usual ex
cellence is promised. The name part
will be well taken care of in the hands of
the well known actress of eccentric co
medy roles. Miss Aimee Common, an ac
tress of unusual ability and charm.
