That Columbus appreciates a good
mioistrel, especially home talent, 'was
certainly proven beyond a doubt this
week. As the concert given by the
ladies of Grace church choir, assisted by
a number of their lady and gentlemen

tended and the play in every respect
was a splendid success, so much so, that
the players were requested to reappear,
which they did last evening. Thisen
tertninment also received good -patronage,

It baa been definitely decided that the
1909 Glidden tour will pass through
Columbus during the great endurance
contest. This annual event, which has
been arranged by the automobile manu
facturers of the country, has heretofore
been pulled off in the east, but by a
strenuous effort it was landed in the
west this year. The pathfinder for the
tour, which left Detroit April 9, and was
delayed by snow and bad roads, reached
this city last -.Saturday and stopped at
the Columbus Automobile Go's, garage
for gasoline, and also to make arrange
ments for taking care of the cars in the
contest when they arrive here, which will
be some time in July. The pathfinder
was accompanied by a car sent by the
Denver Automobile club to meet it at
Omaha and pilot it to the mountain
city. The route of the tour will be from
Detroit to Minneapolis, Omaha, and
then to Denver, winding up the tour at
Kansas City. This contest is the great
event of the year in automobile circles
of the country, and is an endurance test,
not a speed contest, although the sched
ule' through this city calls for twenty
five miles an hour all day. The runs in
Nebraska are from Oman a to Kearney,
and from Kearney to Julesburg, Colo
rado. Over one hundred cars will pass
through here in the contest, and nearly
every automobile maker in the country
will be represented.
Last week the poles for the new arc
light for the city arrived, and a gang of
men are busy placing them. They ex
pect to have this work completed, and
when they are installed Columbus will
have the most up-to-date street lights in
the state, in fact the only ones that have
been installed in Nebraska. They are
luminous arcs and are of 6000 candle in
stead of 2000 candle power, which the
city originally contracted for. There
will be twenty of these arcs in the busi
ness portion and seventy-two candle
power Tungston lamps in the residence
portion. These latter will give three
times as much light as the present lamps.
Another improvement scheduled for
completion by June 1 is the condensers
on which work has been delayed on ac
count of material. This is one of the
important parts of the plant and will add
much to its efficiency. At present the
day plant has 200 horse power in motors
to take care of, and this is the result of
an increase from month to month since
the installation of the service. For the
last thirty days the plant has been pump
ing the city water, and this has been a
success. In speaking of the present.
plant, it may be of interest to know that
very few power plants installed in the
west have made as good a showing in a
short time as the Columbus plant.
Between three hundred and fifty and
four hundred delegates will attend the
Grand Council of the United Commer
cial Travelers; which will be held in this
city, Friday and Saturday of next week,
May 31 and 22. There ,are ten local
councils in the state and each of these,
will be represented. On Saturday the
Des Moines Zeus Guild No. 10 will arrive
with a carload of equipment and put on
the degree, "Bag Men of Bagdad." At
this meeting the officers for the coming
year will be elected. The local com
mittee have ample funds for the enter
tertainment of ten visitors. A good
many of the delegates will be accom
panied by their wives, and the large at
tendance will tax the local hotels to more
than their capacity. It is up to the
citizens of Columbus to see that ample
accomodations are furnished, and any
private family having spare room they
are willing to rent during the two days
will confer a favor on the local secretary
Frank Kersenbrock, by advising him!
Major Bradner D. Slaughter, of the
United States army, but formerly of
Fullerton, died at his borne in Omaha of
heart trouble. Major Slaughter was at
onetime prominent in republican politics
in Nebraska, having been chairman of
the state central committee. He was
one of the early settlers in Fullerton,
and for a time a resident of Omaha, when
he held a federal position. After the
Spanish-American war he was appointed
to a second lieutenancy in the regular
army, and at the time of bis death was
a paymaster with the rank of major.
He had a large acquaintance in Colum
bus and Platte county among those who
were living here prior to fifteen years
ago.
About the middle of Jnne the work of
remodelling the Pint National Bank
building will be commenced, and when
finished that institution will be housed
in one the neatest and modern bank
buildings in the state. The new build
ing will be four feet higher than the
presenl one. and will be of pressed brick,
and the stairway between the present
building and the Sam Gass saloon has
been bought by the bank and will be in
cluded in their enlarged room. Tile
floors will take the place, of the present
wooden ones, and the upstairs will also
come in for some important changes,
which will include glass partitions.

They submitted a report to the board of
directors last Monday evening which
was unanimously adopted. This action
of the board closes a contract for one of
the strongest entertainment courses ever
offered ia Columbus. Secretary Jones
is highly enthusiastic over the success of
the committee ia picking the course. He
says that it is one of the strongest he has
ever had 'anything to do with. It will
consist of five separate entertainments.
The first to be given about the first of
Ootober and the others to follow about
a month apart.
The first attraction will be the Royal
English Hand-Bell Ringers. There are
eight or nine men in the company and
this is their first appearance jo- this
country.

monologist. This will be his third ap
pearance in Columbus and his work in
presenting the character of real. men snd
women, needs no words of praise, for he

magazine, newspaper and platform hu
morist, poet and philosopher.
This entertainment course will cost
$2 per course ticket, admitting to all the
numbers. But those who will call at

asking that conrse tidkets be reserved
for them, will be able to secure hem for
$1.50. .Every member of the Y. M.O. A.
will, be entitled to one course ticket at
members' rate, which is $1. The sale of
the tickets will be limited in number, so

the pledging of their tickets. The actual
delivery and sale of tickets will not be
made until early in September, when
those who have asked for the reservation
of coarse tickets will redeem their
pledges.

evening. The annual meeting of the
association will be held at eight o'clock
Wednesday evening, to be followed by a
special meeting of the board of directors.
Last Sunday's meeting was attended
by more than 125 men and women and
Rev. Rouah of the Methodist church
delivered one of the strongest addresses
that has been given in the association
bnilding, taking for bi& subject Sacred
Motherhood. The choir of the Congre
gational church furnished the music,
rendering a beautiful, anthem and the
two .solos by Mrs. Rathbnrn and 'Miss
Weeks, were well received.
More than fifty men and young men
members of the association met in the
association parlors Monday evening in
response to the invitation of the physical
committee and the special sub committee
on base ball, to consider putting an asso
ciation league in the field. It was by
far the most enthusiastic meeting that
has been held in tbe buildis since the
opening week last fall. V. H. Weaver
was elected chairman and O. H. Walters
secretary of the meeting. After consid
erable discussion it was determined' to
have a league of four teams, each team
to consist of about twelve to fourteen
men including substitutes. Although
this puts several extra men on a team,
the meeting thought that belter ball
would be played with a smaller league.
John Neater. Hugh Todenboft, Otto
Kumpf and Arthur Linstrum were elect
ed captains. And it was decided that
the captains, together with the general
manager of the league, should constitute
the executive board, who shall decide all
questions relative national league rules
to be used. The assistant secretary of
the association. Earl Kienzel. was elect
ed general munnger. At the close of the
general meeting the executive board met
and selected and formed their teams.
Games will be played after six o'clock in
the eyening. probably twice a week.
