DUlIding, lljiirs- day evening and organized a camp of the United Spanish War Veterans, to be known as Columbus Camp No. 4. Major E. H. Phillips and Vice Commander Otto Barth, both of Camp Lewis No. 2, Lin coln Neb., conducted the muster, by command of the National Commandt-r-in-Chief. Cbas. W. Newton, of Hartford, Conn. The following camp officers were elected: John E. Halloa, commander; Prank Thomas, senior vice commander; Isaac Brock, Junior vice commander; "August Wagner, officer of the day; Otto L. Staub. officer of the guard; Lee Rollin chaplain; Mark Bnrk, John H. Brock and Fred Lanz, trustees. Harry Thuma was appointed adjutant and Edwin G. Allbaagb quartermaster. Comrades Jones, Elaney and Wacner were appoint ed a committee on by-laws. The veterans are very enthusiastic over the depart ment encampment and reunion to be held in Omaha, the 27th of this month and will be well represented and hope to prevail upon the encampment council to hold the next encampment in Columbus. Comrades D. Burr Jones, and Lee Rollin will be the delegate and alternate at this departmental encampment. The matter of the Memorial Day observation was leit over to be taken up at the next meeting of the camp, which will be held May 5th. But it was the sentiment of the camp that there should be a proper observation paid to the memory of those comrades who gave their lives that an oppressed people might be free from the tyranny of a cruel and unjnst nation. Ten thousand, five hundred dollars was the price paid for the northwest corner of Twelfth and North streets. This is the building occupied by the Buschman restaurant at the time of the purchase by Harry Graves and Jap Nichols, and as it was their intention to use the building for restaurant purposes, Monday evening a deal was closed with Mr. Buschman for all the fixtures. The place has been closed this week and is undergoing extensive repairs, both up stairs and down, and the new owners ex pect to he ready for business by Monday of next week. Mr. Nichols is experienced in the restaurant business, having been manager for Mr. Buschman for some time. The location is an excellent one, and the new men will no doubt continue to enjoy a good patronage. Monday evening the school board let the contract for the new addition- to-the Second ward school building, and 0. J Scott was the successful bidder. Two other bids were filed with the board by Blaser and Roth, but Mr. Scott's bid was the lowest. The new addition will coosist of two rooms and a basement, and was made necessary by the increas ed attendance, the enrollment in the city now being over 1,000 Work will begin soon and the structure be com pleted in time for the beginning of school in the fall. Next Monday eve ning the board will hold a special meet ing to consider the employing of teachers for the coming year, and it is quite likely that a number will be hired. James Wilson, who is serving a fifteen day sentence in the county jail, tried to assist some of the other prisoners in escaping. As bis sentence was short, he was given a few privileges, and one day last week was taking in the quilts used at the jail, after they had been hung in the sun for the day. Deputy Sherriff Jaworski was there at the time, and at the door of the jail, instead of coming in with the bedding, Wilson started to run, hoping that the deputy would take after him and give the re maining prisoners a chance to escape But he was mistaken, for Jaworski first locked the prisoners in the jail and then proceeded to capture Wilson, so he will serve the remainder of his term. There will be an exciting wrestling match at the North theatre Thursday night April 8. between Tom Connors, the old time champion of England, and Jack Kinney, the welterweight cham pion of this state, for a purse of $250. This purse is put up by the same Chicago syndicate that is putting up the purse for the championship match be tween Frank Gotch and Terrible Turk. Tom Connors has been in the city for the last two weeks, and has made many friends by his quiet unassuming manner and the house will be taxed to its capacity to witness the match. There will be good preliminaries before the match. Ringside seats, 75c; and gener al admission, due. Billy Plageman, who was thought to be a permanent fixture at the Dodds farm, hung his plow shoes on a wire fence last week and came to town to accept a position at Hagel's billiard and bowling parlors. They say that the first customers Billy run np against was a bunch of malted milk drinkers, who after being served, very kindly informed him that it took him so long 'to mix the drinks that they all sowered on him. It must be gay life toliave them wolves right at your heels all the time. Mra,E.

"North returned Tuesday from their extended stay in California,-and are glad to get back to Nebraska, although the weather since their arrival has'been in strong contrast with that they left behind on the Pacific coast. Most of the time they were in iBaa Diego. Dawson's Committee Meets. There appears to be some contention among the members of the republican central committee of Platte county over the endorsement of a candidate for po3t master to succeed Carl Kramer. B. S. Dickinson, chairman of the committee, has refused to enter into what is termed a "dirtv fight" against the re-appoint ment of Mr. Kramer. It is understood that Mr. Dickinson is not wholly in sym pathy with the action of some of the men who are attempting to create a sen timent against the present postmaster, and that rather than call the committee together for the purpose of endorsing another candidate, he informed John Dawson, committeeman from Oconee, that if there was any business for the committee to transact be (Dawson', could call the members together. Following the suggestion of chairman Dickinson, Mr. Dawson sent out notices to the members of the committee to meet at the city hall, in Columbus, on Friday, April 2. The notice also con tained a statement that there would be refreshments following the meeting and those who desired plates were requested to inform O. J. Garlow. When the hour for the meeting arriv ed, only five committeemen J. O. Paw son, I. N. Jones, John Luschen, R. P. Drake and R. S. Dickinson were present. C. J. Garlow and David Thomas were also in attendance. The former is the Pintle couuty member of the republican congressional committee of the Third congressional district, and the latter has been acting as a member of the county committee, although he has no authority to so act. There are various rumors afloat as to the business transacted. It is known that Mr. Dawson has a fanatical hatred against Carl Kramer. This the members of the central oommittee are fully aware, for it is recalled that at a meeting of the committee held in Columbus, October 10, 1908, Mr. Dawson introduced and secur ed, by misrepresentation, so it is alleged, the following resolutions: Whereas, The ex-chairman of the republican county central committee, Mr. Edwin Hoare, assisted by the legal department of the Union Pacific R. R. Company. Postmaster Carl Kramer of Columbus, Postmaster Daniel Murdook of Oconee, and others, have apparently so strenuously opposed rural free de livery service to John C. Dawson-and. .t j , ' -. utuers; sou Whereas, The inspection by two in spectors has been in part false; and Whereas, The department inNtbeir correspondence are in error; be it Resolved, By the republican county cen tral committee of Platte county, Nebras ka, that tbis case be thoroughly investi gated by a reliable and competent in spector, who will not overlook justice, and that justice be done to those injured and that the service be reinstated. On motion the resolution was adopted, but nothing is to be done about it until after election. At the time the resolution was adopt ed, the members of the committee who endorsed it, were not acquainted with the facts relating to the controversy over the rural delivery of mail in Mr. Daw son's neighborhood. It is the' rule of the government to make the rural routes thirty or less miles in length. Mr. Dawson lives three fourths of a mile from the Oconee poet office. The inspector sent out from Washington, by the post office depart ment, after spending three months in Platte county, laid out the routes now supplied. On recommendation of the government inspector. Mr. Dawson's place was not included on the route established near Oconee, as it would have required the rural carrier to travel a distance of two miles extra to supply him with mail, thus increasing the length of the route to 32 miles. Failing to impress the government of the United States with the importance of delivering mail to his door without the expense of a special carrier, Mr. Dawson dragged bis personal grievances before the repub lican central committee and,it is alleged, by misrepresentation, secured the adop tion of the, resolution printed above. In bis ignorance, for failing to receive special consideration from the post office department, he insists that Carl Kramer, Mr. Murdock, postmaster at Oconee, Edwin Hoare and the Union Pacific railway company are responsible. Probably the Union Pacific company is not aware that such a man as John Dawson exists. Mr. Murdock is the father-in-law of Mr. Dawson, and it is not presumed that he would be a party to a deal that would compel his son-in-law to walk several blocks to the Oconee postoffice in order to receive his mail. Certainly Edwin Hoare or Carl Kramer are not guilty of the alleged crime of forcing poor old John to travel six or seven blocks every day to ask at the general delivery, "Anything here for the Hon. John Dawson?" Mr. Dawson's wrongs are fancied wrongs. He censures his fellow citizens for something the government is respon sible for, and it is not surprising that he has failed to secure the co-operation of the members of the republican county central committee in the fight he is making against Mr. Kramer. . Out of the twenty-three members of the com mittee, only five responded to Mr. Daw son's call, .and, as before stated, all were not in harmony with him in the fight he has started against the re-appointment of Mr. Kramer. Oae of the coBwittscmen has called Mr. Dawson's attention to the following resolution adopted by the county com mittee at one of the meetings held pre vious -to election about the time Daw son was predicting that Sheldon would carry Platte county and Bryan's major ity would not be more than 100: Whereas, Thee is little doubt of the success of the republican party, both state and national, and in case of suc cess of either or both, there will be many applicants for support and recom mendation for appointments to office and positions; and Whereas. The county central com mittee will be called upon for recom mendations and support of many ap plicants for political positions; and Whereas, In justice to the applicant as well as to the individual members of said committee, and to give force and effect to the recommendations of the said committee, and to save the mem bers thereof much annoyance, and Whereas, Tbis organization should be kept-alive and act in harmony so as to give the best results and see that good and true persons are given positions based npon their merit, and to that end and to the further end, that the party be best served, and the greatest justice done all persons seeking support, now, therefore, be it Resolved, That all applicants for ap pointments, either state or national, wishing the support of the members of this committee, file with the secretary luereoi nis or ner pennon and that no member hereof endorse any petition for appointment, from this county, either directly or indirectly, or sign the same, until after it is filed and acted upon by said oommittee, which shall be done within a reasonable time after it is filed and at a meeting called for that pur pose and after all members of said oom mittee have been notified of the object of the' meeting. That the applicants' petition shall be considered upon its merit and the mer its of the party, and after consideration thereof, a vote shall be taken by ballot as to whether the committee shall re commend, and a majority of the com mittee present, providing there be a majority of .all members present, eha'l determine the recommendation, and up on the recommendation in the above mauner, the secretary shall certify said recommendation to the proper authority and the members of said committee ehallliot thereafter endorse any reject" ed candidates' petition, or otherwise takehas fiued several important offices in the contrary aotion to that taken by the whole or majority as above provided. If the five members of the committee that assembled at the city hall in Co lumbus last Friday, really did take up on tuemseives tne responsibility to act contrary to the above resolution and endorse Mr. Dawson's candidate for post master, they are certainly acting with out authority from the other members, who ignored the offlciousness of the man whose name was attached to the call. It was a direct and stinging re buke to Mr. Dawson for attempting to use the members of the committee as a club to pound into political insensibility and obscurity a man who has made an acceptable public servant and whose official record is 'without a flaw or blunder. The Journal believes that nine-tenths of the people of Columbus are friendly to the reappointment of Oarl Kramer to the position he now holds. True, Mr. Kramer is a republican. He does not deny it. He has lived in Platte county for many years. He worked in the party ranks and assisted in carrying the county for GarGeld. Blaine and Roosevelt. Contrast Imb party record with the man who is now attempting to discredit him. Glance over the returns from Platte county last fall. It was such men as John Dawson that caused ' the landslide to Shallenberger and Bryan. If the re publicans of Platte county hope to succeed, they must work in harmony; they must pull together; they must bury personal differences and fight together against the enemy. With such men as wnwson constantly parading uis sore spots and demanding that the party follow him, there will never be harmony and unity of action. The hour has come for the personal grievance bunch, headed by John Dawson, to listen to a little common sense talk from Mr. Dickinson and the more conservative members of the county central mittee. com- The retell clerks of the city are still pushing their campaign for six o'clock closing, and the last week a commute has been waiting on the merchants with a petition asking for the shorter hours So far they have met with good success and feel that they will ultimately gain the point they are after. f Some time daring the cold weathers large quantity of copper wire was stolen from the block signal supply bouse of the Union Pacific, near the coal chutes, and all efforts to locate it was in vain. The city police and Union Pacific' men have been working on the case and fin ally discovered where the copper was sold, and later stolen again, and last week warrants were sworn out for John Hoffman and Edward Tschudy, charg ing them with the theft. They were brought'before Judge Ratterman Mon day asd bound over to the district court, their bonds being fixed at $7oO each. Being unable to secure them they are in the county jail awaiting trial attaeaaxtterstof thedistriet oonrC. Have you a Hard Wood Floor?
