Now that the date fixed for the appearance of the Ha-geabeok-Wallace Combined Shows is al most here, the interest is becoming; acute and thousands of people are planning; to visit the shows. There are people who really object to the coming of a circus, especially one of the magnitude of the Hagenbeek-Wallace Shows, because of the tendency of the average citizen and countryman to make it a holiday. Such people, however, are born pessimists and undesirable citizens and should be sup pressed. They forget that, while they may be able to attend and enjoy the theater every week, most of those who attend a circus are only -able to do so about once or twice a year. The latter is the amendment of all classes of peo ple, because it is a bargain counter of I Dra. Paul and Matxes, Dentists. Dr. Valliar, Osteopath, Barber biooa.

Hudson, who wss down from Boone county yesterday, reported everything in the way of crops looking splendidly, alllong the line of the road, and no grasehoRoerF visible until he got to Columbus. Wm. Becker informed us that he ob tained at Omaha, for fleeced washed wool, 144 lbs, thirty cents a pound. It wss not bis own purchase, but an ac comodation consignment for a Platte " county sheep raiser. On Saturday last three horses owned by a Kansas drover, fell through the ap proach of the Loup bridge and were kill ed. The drove could not be crowded on to the bridge, and massing on the ap proach their weight was to much for it. Ii. H. North and Jos. Tiffany, appraisers ' estimated the damage at $900. We learn from .our exchange that the party cf Black Hillers who left Sioux - City a few weeks since have been captur "ed by the military and takeu' ttfFort Randall. This party had six wagons . and twenty-two horses. The same ac count also states that Gordon's party from Sioux City is halted on the south eide of the Niobrara, two hundred miles .west from Sioux City, with a force of .Indians and military in front on tbe op poeite bsnk of the river Tbe road to ' the Black Hills is a "hard road to travel." amendments. Nowhere much be seen for the same price and nowhere else can it be enjoyed with the same enthusiasm as in the circus throngs. This city is not immune from tbe circus fever, and especially-is this true when the attraction has tbe magnetic drawing qualities of the Hagenbeek-Wallace Shows. They are without question in a class by themselves; no other tented enterprise can offer such a varied and interesting programme of novelties or display such a collection of trained wild nnimals as will be seen here under the tents of the -Hagenbeek-Wallace Com bined shows.

All the latest shades and styles in WALL PAPER Sip Writiaf i SptcttHy KAVANATJGH & BETTERTON Monday night a meeting of the voters of Alexis township, Butler county, which was called by the township officers, wss held for tbe. purpose of discussing the proposition of assisting in the building of a bridge across the Platte to replace the present one. A delegation of Colum bus men, composed of A. R. Miller, G. W. Phillips and Louis Lightner were present at the meeting and took-part in the discussion. The Alexis township people were quite anxious for the bridge and were willing to do everything possi ble to assist in making it a go, but they were .adverse to voting bonds at the present time, one of the reasons being advanced that tbey would be compelled to maintain their end of the structure, which would be quite an expense. This, however, seems to be awrong idea, as tbe law provides that tbe counties, and not the townships, shall- maintain such bridges. After several weeks of suffering with acute kidney trouble, Elizabeth Doersoh died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. C. A. Lutz, Wednesday evening.

Lutz of this city, and Mrs. Emil Heier and Mrs. Wm. Hageman of Milwaukee, and Mrs. Henry Brock of Fort Worth, Texas.

Phillipps sold bis interest in the firm of L. F. Phillipps & Bro. to Frank Budat and the new firm took charge at once.

Louie thinks he is entitled to a well earned rest and says that his summer address will be Buck island, where he will, take care of the game and fish. Painting the water works stand pipe inside and out was completed last week, and while this was being done the stand pipe was given a thorough cleaning. During that time it was necessary to pump into the mains and use direct pressure, and it was soon discovered that the new pumps were working too fast for the amount of water consumed, especially during the night. In order to handle the supply properly it was neces sary to fire np tbe boiler at the old city plant and pump with steam, as in that way the supply could be regulated. Judge Thomas has overruled the mo tion for a new trial in the case of Ed Tschudy and Joe Hoffman, who were found guilty at the last term of court, the charge being stealing a large quanti ty of copper wire from tbe Union Pacific block signal store house, and sentenced Tschudy to eighteen months and Hoff man to two and one-half years ia the penitentiary.
