The raising of broom corn in Nebras
ka, it appears to us, would be a profita
ble crop to farmers. The seed is claimed
to be good for an)' kind of stock, when
used in moderation, and yields from F0
to 73 bushels per acre. It commands a
good price in the market, the brush
selling from fifty to one hundred dollars
per tou.
We are informed that Mr, F. P. Bur
gess will issue the first number of the
Columbus Republican on Friday of this
week. This will give Columbus three
weekly newspapers, and if the proprie
tors emulate each other, each endeavor
ing to issue the best and most creditable
journal, the city and community will
undoubtedly be very much benefitted.
The rush of immigrants west seems to
be a little less than absolutely surpris

them forward. On the same day Bixten

Mrs. Anna Nelson,, widow of Nels
Nelson, er., pssaed away at her
home ia South Columbus, Friday even
ing at seven-o'clock, paralysis being the
cause of her sudden death. Mrs. Nelson
as seemingly enjoying good health
until a few hours before her death she
was taken ill, and this illness lasted only
three hours when the final summons
came. Gathered about her at this time
was a number of her children who had
been called to their mother's home. The
deceased was a kind and loving wife and
mother, always ready to lend a helping
hand in sickness and sorrow. Her life
should serve as an inspiration, the mem
ory of which should shine out as a
beacon light to show that the traits that
go with the making of a good character
are recognized for their true worth.
Mr. and Mrs. Nelson were married in
1871. and at that time were residents of
Sweden. In 1889 they came to America
settling in Leigh, Nebraska, where in
1896 Mr. Nelson passed away. Shortly
after her husband's death Mrs. Nelson
came to Columbus, where she has since
resided. She was the mother of eleven
children, one of whom died in infancy.
Those who mourn the loss of a kind and
loving mother are Anton Nelson of New
man Grove, Mrs. Jake Eibler of Leigh,
Miss Inez Nelson and Mrs. Henry Knud
son of Newman Grove, Mrs. George
Grubb, Mrs. C. C. Hardy, Axel J. Nel
Nelson, Joel W. Nelson. Nels, jr., and
Alva Nelson of this city, all of whom
were present at the funeral, which was
held from the family residence Sunday
afternoon at thre o'clock, Bev. Dibble,
pastor of the Congregational church
officiating. Relatives and friends who
attended the funeral were John Nelson
of Leigh. P. L. Lund of Howells, Charles
Ruth of Albion and Henry Knudson of
Newman Grove.
Mrs. Eatherine Gregorins received a
message from Omaha Friday morning
stating that her daughter, Mrs. Robert
A. Wagner had suddenly passed away,
death resulting from heart failure. For
several years the deceased had not en
joyed good health, but it was only of late
her illness was considered dangerous.
About six weeks ago Mrs. Wagner was
brought to this city, with the hopes that
the change might benefit her health,
but she remained here only a few days
when she again returned to Omaha, en
tered a hospital and there she remained
until death relieved her of her sufferings.
Mrs. Wagner, nee Miss Emma Gregorius
of this city, was born in 1873, and whb
at the time of her death thirty-six years,
seven months and eleven days old. Mrs.
Wagner, was the widow of the late Rob
ert A. Wagner, who died eight years ago.
For the past four years the deceased
has made her home in Omaha with her
only eon, Leonard, who is a young man
of seventeen yearsof age. Mrs. Wagner
was well known in Columbus as she
spent most of her life in this city; and
her many friends will be grieved to learn
of her death. Besides an aged mother
and one son, Mrs. Wagner leaves two
brothers, F. R. and Wm. J. Gregorius,
and three sisters. Mrs. George Losb
baugb. Mrs. Roy E. Pierce, and Mrs. C.
A. Scott, all of whom reside in Columbus.
The remains were brought to this city
Saturday morning and the funeral ser
vices were held Sunday afternoon from
the Catholic church, Father Marcellinus
officiating and interment was made in the
Catholic cemetery.
Members of Columbus Council No.
938, and their friends, over three hun
dred in all, were in attendance at the ini
tiation of a class of forty-five at the
Orpheus hall Sunday. Members of the
order from all over the country were
present, and the candidates represented
a number of towns in this section of Ne
braska. The local teams had charge of
the work, and were assisted by the Oma
ha team and District Deputy W. A.
Schall of Omaha. The initiation cere
monies were held during the day and in
the evening a banquet was served by the
wives, sisters and daughters of the mem
bers of the local order, there being over
300 plates. Hon. James M. Fitzgerald
of Omaha was toastmaster, and the fol
lowing were the speakers: Invocation,
Rev. Fr. Marcellinus; "The Catholic
Gentleman," George Corcoran of Yoik;
"Duty of Catholics," Wm. Morrow,
Scolts Bluffs; "Our Order," W. A. Schall
of Omaha; "Our Ideals." Chas S. Burke
of Columbus; "Our Knighthood," Bro
ther Raphael of Spalding. The com
mittee on arrangements consisted of
Messrs. A. Friechholz, M. C. Keating, C.
J. Camg,T. C Hogan and Mark Burke,
and during the banquet music was furni
shed by the orchestra from St. Francis
academy. - The addition of the candi
dates taken in Sunday increases the
membership of the loal order to about
225, which is an excellent showing, con
sidering that it has been le68 than five
years since Columbus council was in
stituted. Wednesday of last week H. O. Studley
of Creeton filed a complaint in Judge
Ratterman's court charging F. A. Bro
ger with assault and battery, and also
that Broger be placed under bond to
keep the peace. Mr. Studley owns tthe
Creeton hotel and Broger rents from
him, and a clause in the lease permits
the owner to inspect the property, and
Mr. Studley was availing himself of that
privilege, to which Broger objected in a
forcible manner. As Mr. Studley is jus
tice of the peace of' Creeton township,
he could not hear the case, so it was
brought to county court.

Hose company No. 1 met their second
defeat this season last Sunday, Hose
company No. 2 defeating them by a score
bf 7 to 4 Neither teams had all of their
regular men, and they and Walter Heuer,
the old time twirler for the Hookies cov
ered the right garden for the No. 2's, and
Wm. Lyons held down second base for
the No. l's. Hose company No. 2 tried
out a new recruit to do the twirling and
he held the No. l's down to only a few
bits. Walter Giger started to do the
twirling for No. 's, but he was soon
taken out of the box and Captain Becher
finished the game, and certainly atopped
the No. 2's from piling up a big score.
The feature of the game was when our
old friend and right fielder, Otto Schrei
ber, tried to dodge an inshoot thrown by
the pitcher, but accidentally connected
with the ball and very uear making a
home run out of it.
But all the way through, the fireman
are making a good showing this year,
and with a little more practice will'put
up a game well worth seeing.
Following are the batteries: Hose
company No. 2 Otto Boettcher and
Walter Boettcher; Hose company No. 1
Walter Giger, Chas Becher and Otto

but the fire, which was caused by some
live coals falling on the roof of the build
ing, was soon extinguished by Mr. Pal
mer and several assistants. Had the fire
not been seen just when it was by a pass
erby it might have been a bad fire as a
gasoline engine and tank are enclosed in
the building.

foundation for the extension on the west
end being the starting point. During
the last week the company built their
new stock yards, which are located south
and east of the coal chutes, and a side
track is being built to reach them. This
track will extend through the present
material yard which is being used by the
block signal supply depot. As soon as
the present stock yards are available
the work of taking out the old yards will
be commenced, and the company is al
ready tilling in around the old yards.
This is the proposed location for the new
round house, and there is a prospect that
Columbus may get this improvement at
the same time as the new depot.
