It would be difficult to find in litera ture as adequate a characterizition of a cultured Indian. As a student of Colum bia npon whom the influences of cultur ed environment have been at work, he nevertheless remains a tribesman. In the scene in the football dressing-room of Columbia after he has been withdrawn from the team, comes a powerful piece of acting. Discredited and abandoned Strongheart watches the game from a window of the dressing-room, a)d such ib the force of bis emotion, that he brings the audience to see with its mind's eye the whole action of the field.

Baahaell, editor of the' Lincoln Trade Review attended toe Commercial Clab banquet on April 2, and has the following to eay about the gathering:' wrbeC6lumbus Commercial clnb'aannuaT meeting last week, illustrated how to de it in uniting and aligning business men for a poll all together for theircommnni ty. The occasion was the third anniver sary of the dab and it gave a banquet that gathered around the one board over two hundred of the business and pro fessional men of that city. At its con clusion there was a spirit of unity and an inspiration to go forth and -do things never approached in magnitude in that city before. The people who made up the company listened to an interesting program of after-dinner talks from men interested in different walks of life. The good fellowship, of a neighboring city was brought out. The strictly business proposition of what can be done locally and by the state at hrge by business mea nmted and palling together was de veloped and illustrated. A democratio governor and a republican senator, with out politics, told of the prosperity, of state and nation and touched along'tbe lines of the large patriotism without which no nation or people prosper. A representative of one of the state's great railroad systems discussed business from' that point of view, interestingly and en tertainingly, and the larger questions which go to make up all interests in the state were so brought together and de veloped that those present had their horizon of view broadened as well as getting inspiration for more united activ ity for the general good. These meet ings of business men that are becoming more and more frequent among business men in the enterprising cities of the state, will more and more show their real and permanent value. The business judgment of the business men of the state does not go wrong in working'out the problems for development and pros perity and the building for a future that will be made of unmeasured value." The services and lectures, wbioh were held in the Methodist and Congregation al churches last week were well attend ed and much credit is due Rev. Bousb, pastor of the Methodist church, and Rev. Dibble, pastor of the Congregation al church, for the able manner in which these meetings were carried on. They continued all during the week with the exception of Saturday evening. Easter services were observed in the various churches in the city. The exercises given by the Sunday, school in several of the churches took place at the Sunday school hour. The members of the Meth odiBt and Congregational choirs ami their friends each rendered a musical in their respective churches, and a goodly number were present. This' was the last musical to be given by the members of the Congregational church tbis season. Rev. Dibble was so well pleased with the attendance during the week that he has expressed his desire to give many more lectures of this nature in the future, and when given they to will be illustrated by stereopticon views. Dr. A. Heintz has returned from his western trip. While absent he visited many places of interest. He was well pleased with the California climate and the country in general. Here be spent much of his time. As he was homeward bound he visited for several days in Denver, where at the present time the laboring class of people can find no em ployment as times are very dull. He al so visited the mines near Boulder, but on account of the deep snow, he was un able to inspect the mines. "While in Oregon, he inspected some of the land that will soon be opened for settlement. He spoke very highly of this land, and tbis will be good news for many Colum bus people who are planning to settle in that country in the near future. Mr. Heintz was absent about five weeks, and all daring the' trip he enjoyed himself very much, but said of all' the places be visjted Columbus was good enough for him. Thinking he was not observed, Claude White stole a grip from the Union Paci fic depot, last Saturday morning, which was the property of a Mr. Perkinson of Loretto, Neb. The police bell was sounded at once, and in a short time Chief of Police Sohack located the off ender in the coal chutes, and later dis covered the missing grip in the base ball groands, about the same as the owner had left it. White was -taken before Police Judge O'Brien, and by eleven o'clock he had commenced a sentence which the judge had imposed upon him because he could not tell the difference between property that belonged to some one else and .his own. Probably the next time be tries anything of this sort he will seek other pestures, as his cap ture and quick sentence to the county jail somewhat surprised him. One of the last acts of the outgoing council Monday evening was to' kill the ordinance permitting the building of a aide track for the electric light com pany. It seems the railroad company was ready to build the track, bat it woald be in front of the planing mill. Mr. Lund strenuously objected to this, and circulated a petition, which was signed by a large number of business men, asking that permission be refased by the ooancil for the track at that place, and contended the alley was the proper place for it. When it came to a vote there were four for it and four against it, and it failed topees. - DravPaal and Matsea, Dentists. Dr. Valliar, Osteopath. Barter block.

Last fall the west end of the bridge was filled in so .that only thirty spans re main, and the center ten of these were the ones burned.- Shortly after the fire was discovered the flames were at least forty feet high; and the structure burn ing briskly. How the fire originated is not known, but it is hardly possible that it caught from the engine of the passen ger train, which passed over the bridge a little alter nine o'clock, and the grates of 'the engine were closed, as UBual. For the present traffic on the line iB tied up, the passenger train being on this side of the break, and one of the freight crews at the Lincoln end. The railroad officials at Lincoln were notified at once and a temporary structure will be put in as soon as possible in order that traffic may be resumed. The play alternately battered the riei bles and tears the heart strings placing before the audience not only the laugh able side of college life, the strenuity of modern foot-ball and the interesting character of an educated American Ind ian, but also that tragic situation told in a wonderfully forceful manner the positive estrangement of the Redman from modern civilization. In building up a dower of dramatic Blrength about the character and tribulations of "Soau gataba," the author has added to the conventional dramatic power in that the entire Indian question as it is now un derstood is discussed dramatically, poetically, and truthfully in the course' of the action. Added to this it has the intense feeling and human interest ex cited by the strong yet sympathetic character of Strongheart. It is a trem ndouB discussion of a tremendous so cial injustice. "North Theatre, Sat. April 17. -Kt- As a result of a complication of dis eases, due to old age, Joseph Moschen ross died at his home in southeast Co lumbus last Saturday morning, aged 76 years.

Sometime tbisweek the fire whistle will be' placed on 'the Iiht plant and connected (.with ,the boilers, so they can give?all alarms. For the present the 'Steam pump will be op erated, and until the city accepts the new plant and the light company-commences on beir pumping contract. What might have been a bad fire had it. been permitted to gain headway hap pened shortly after the noon -hour Mon day. A defective pipe in the Bnschman meat market caused the disturbance. A strong north wind was blowing that forced the fire and cinders upon the roof of George Hagel's bowling alley, but fortunately it was discovered before the fire had done any damage, and by the prompt action qf several persons about the two buildings ic was BOt necessary to call out the fire department; ' Ernest; little son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Lueechen, jr., who reside on a farm nine miles north of this city, pass ed awsy. at 9:30 Friday evening.
