The lovers of fast horses are making
arrangements to lay off and grade a race
course, on the farm of Luther H. North,
near the city. If the affair is well man
aged it may afford considerable pleasure,
to our incipient Bonners, as well as to
embryo Dexters, and in time, be the
means of improving our stock of the
noblest animals that assists man in his
work.

Mis. Lacy Cockson. widow of Charles
Thomas Ouckson, passed away at her
home on West 16th street, Wednesday
morning, April 14, at five o'clock, death
resulting from a complication of diseases.
Mrs. Cockson, nee Mi6S Lucy Anne
Eaton, was born in England, March 8,
1837, and was at the time of her death
bat a few days past seventy-two years of
age. In 1864 she was married to Charles
Cockson, now deceased. To this union
seven children were born, two of whom
died in infancy and were buried in New
York. Those surviving are Charles,
Fred, Thomas and Harold, all of whom
live on farms near Columbus, and one
daughter, Miss Jennie, with whom the
deceased was living at the time of her
death. Mrc Cockson resided in England
until 1870, when accompanied by her
husband and family she came to Amer
ica, settling in New York, where they
lived for two years, when they came to'
Polk county and located on a farm seven
miles from this city, and where the de
ceased had made her home until last
January, when she decided to leave her
country home and come to this city to
spend her declining years. Her husband,
Charles Cockson, passed away in 1900.
At the time of his death he was visiting
the scenes of his childhood days in Eng
land, when he was taken ill with pneu
monia, and four days later passed away.
lie was laid to rest in a cemetery in
London, and since his death Mrs. Cock
son has lived with ber children.
Last Friday evening Mayor Held sub
mitted the following appointments to
the council, and they were confirmed by
that body: R. L. Rossiter. city engi
neer; Charles S. Burke, city attorney;
Henry Luers. street commissioner; Dr.
F. U. Morrow, city physician; August
T. Schack, chief of police; MarkT.
Burke, regUar policeman. Th name of
James Nelson was presented to the
council, but Mr. Nelson is at present in
South Dakota looking after the claim
he drew last fall, and until he decides
what he will do, the council will not
make the appointment. Bids for sprink
ling, cement crossings and printing will
be asked for. Becher, Hockenberger &
Chambers presented a communication
to the council, stating that they weie
going to plat an addition to the city,
and asking that the water works mains
be extended to it, under provisions of
the city ordinances The request was
referred to the committee.
For many years Wood vi lie was an es
tablished post office in the western part
of Platte county, but with the advent of
rural free delivery it was discontinued
and the patrons of the office given mail
service from St. Edward. When the
office was in existence mail was deliver
ed from one of the trains and a small
platform was used. Some time ago the
railroad company concluded to build a
side track at that place, and later an
elevator was pat ap. A store followed,
and the prospects for a small town seem
ed good. But the people in that locality
want better mail service, and a petition
was circulated and generally signed and
forwarded to Senator Norris Brown, and
Friday's dailies mention that he has
taken the matter up with the post office
department at Washington, and there
seems no good reason why the request
will not be granted.
Last Thursday afternoon the Commer
cial club held a special meeting to dis
cuss the Platte river bridge proposition,
and besides requesting the committee to
further look up the legal status of the
first proposition, another committee,
consisting of A, R. Miller, chairman, and
L. F. Phillipps 8nd H. A. Clarke, were
appointed to take up the bridge propo
sitton with the farmers living south of
the Platte and ascertain what they would
be willing to do in the way of voting
bonds to assist in the construction of the
bridge. The proposed side-track to the
electric light plant was also taken up
and the club will use its influence to
have the company build the track in the
alley, instead of in front of the planing
mill. A committee was appointed to
select a new secretary to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of One G.
Becher, jr.
With the advent of spring several Col
umbus boys have become restless and
decided to go out and take in the world,
and last week three young boys started
west and succeeded in getting as far as
Central City, where they were found
asleep in a box car and were taken in by
the marshal. The authorities here were
notified and they were returned home.
Last Saturday the two larger boys, Carl
Boettcber and Ernest Merz, succeeded
in getting as far as Grand Island, where
they were stopped, and Tuesday Carl
Boettcher filed a complaint against
them, charging incorrigibility and a
warrant was placed in the hands of
Sheriff Carrig. He went to Grand Is
land for them Wednesday and when
they are brought back they will have a
hearing before County Judge Ratterman.
Owing to the sudden death of Andrew
Roeewater in Omaha last week, the ac
ceptance of the new pumps at the city
water works plant hns been slightly de
layed. Mr. Rosewater was the engineer
employed by the city when the pumps
were purchased, and he was to have been
here when the final test for the accept
ance was made. The committee having
this in charge tried to secure his suc
cessor in Omaha, but unable to do this,
an another engineer will be employed
to look after the interest of the city
whan the pumps are accepted.

With The Firemen's League.
Sunday the Hookies won their second
straight game by defeating Hose Com
pany No. 2 by a score or 6 to 5. It was
one of the best played games since the
organization of the Firemen's league,
and ut no time was there more than one
score difference in the teams. And the
Hookies did not have the game won un
til the last man -crossed the plate, which
was in the last half of the ninth inning,
and looked for a while as though it
would take more than nine innings to
decide the contest. Hose Company No.
2 has a good team this year, and will no
doubt make it quite interesting for the
other two teams before the season closes
Next Sunday Hose Companies No's. 1
and 2 will play at the usual place, and it
is hoped that a good crowd of the local
'ana will be present to witness the game,
and a good game can be looked for.
