A new mail route has been established between this city and Stanton, Stanton county, and will be opened July 1. Michael Welsh, of this place, has the contract for carrying the mail for three years. The mail will leave here once a week, on Fridays, and return Saturdays. Mr. W., we dare say, is one of the most faithful carriers in the United States. Mr. James Bannan of this city, has a nice crop of wheat south of the Platte river, which he visited on Monday of this week, and reports it but slightly in jured. Jamee understands bow to put grasshoppers to flight as well as making or fixing a boot. When he arrived at his fields be found his wheat covered with grasshoppers, and put his faithful dog to work, running to and fro through the fields, and by 10 o'clock a. m. Jamee and his faithful dog had 'most of ,the 'hoppers on the wing. c ' Andrew B. Johnson called at our sanc tum Monday, and we are indebted to him for several items of interest. He was on bis way to St. Edward, ten miles south of Albion, where he is driving piling for John Curd's mill. The building is to rest upon fifty-two piles, and thirty two are to be put down for the dam. Mr. Johnson left Beebe's place Monday and reports that prospecting for coal has begun near Beebe's lime quarry. Small particles and lumps of coal have been found and work will proceed with hopes of finding tbe precious mineral in paying quantities Mr. J. says that the grass hoppers lit down in Beaver Valley, on Friday , but left in an hour or two with out doing much damage. The crops everywhere along the Loup valley and through Boone and Greeley counties look first rate. Through tbe efforts or W. C. Ross of the Columbus, Light Heat & Power Company Columbus will secure a manu fitctiring plant. An eastern overall manufactory wishes to establish a branch plant in this city and utilize tbe day j current of the Power company. Tbey will employ about two hundred and fifty hands when running to capacity but expect to start witbfifty. The ques tion of help will decide whether or not the factory locates here, as it is impera tive that plenty of help be available. A lady representative ot the company will be rn the city this week and secure the necessary help, if possible. The location ot tbe factory has not been decided on as yet. but that will be a matter of minor importance, for should the factory decide to locate here, a building suitable for their needs will be built by one of the real estate firms of the city, provided that is the only way tbey can secure quarters.

Mains wh is the city Tuesday of this week conducting an STsminatioa of cream tasters and samplers living in this aaotion of the state, and then wan be tween thirty and forty present, nearly all thm tnwna on the hrtnnhjtfi hainv t- f presented. Under the new law everyone who taata and samples cream must an examination and providing be receive a certificate f roan the state. Ori ginally Columbus waa deaignated as one of the points for examinations, but on account of the urgent request of F.N. Stevenson of this city and the-Edmonds creamery at Central City, examinationa were held at both of these places, and employes of both of these institutions were largely in the majority, of those preeent. So far Mr. Maine has been personally conduotmg these examina tions, but the work is of auch volume that he will turn a portion of it over to the inspectors under him. In cidentally, while in the city, Mr. Maine is looking up some of the complaints re garding the sale of oleo here, without displaying the required signs. A special from Madiaon to the Nor folk News, dated June 21, nays that William V. Allen returned from Omaha last night, where be had been in consulta tion with John L. Webster in tbe matter of an action wherein fifty-two banka of the state are plaintiffs and the members of tbe state banking board, consisting of the governor, auditor of public accounta and tbe attorney general are defendants. Allen and John L. Webster are the at- torneys for tbe banks in this suit. Ap plication will be made today in the feder al court for an order restraining tbe pres ent state banking board and tbe secre tary of the incoming state banking board from exercising, carrying out or putting in force tbe provisions of what is known as the guarantee bank act, paaaed by the laat legislature. It assail the con stitutionality ot tbe law and the hearing will probably beheld before one of the federal judges in a very few days. On account ot this suit. Senator Allen is compelled to cancel his speaking engage ment on tbe occasion of the reunion of his regiment, the Thirty-second Iowa in fantry, at Eldora, this week. Bishop Bonaoum, who waa threatened by a mob at Ulysses, Neb., laat Friday night, arrived in Lincoln 8aturday noon. He retired to his residence and had not issned a statement a( a late hour that af tenHMSW" Father Msrahr aaid.v Bis hop Bonacum, with two priests by whom he sought to secure a legal majority, at tempted to overbear the churches trust ees of Ulysses. His object was to go through the form ot a regular church meeting and to pass a resolution to oust me from the church. This resolution, had it passed, would have been used as the basis of legal proceedings such as were followed to remove me from the church at Seward. "The Ulysses trus tees refused to meet with the bishop. The meeting then was opened in the hotel. The bishop had called it to order and a resolution was proposed when the people, indignant at the procedure, awept in smothering the whole thing. n Last Saturday, sometime during the forenoon, a diamond ring, valued at $200 was stolen from the private room of Landlord and Mrs. Harry Musselman. Two young men, named Black and Rol ler, telegraph operators formerly employ ed by tbe Union Pacific railway company were under suspicion. Saturday even ing or Sunday morning tbey boarded the train for Fremont, and on Monday morning. Special Officer Ed Roasiter got the trail of the parties, and Monday af ternoon they were taken into custody and searched, but tbe missing ring was not found in their possession. After leaving Fremont, Black and Roller went to Omaha, where, it is reported they were arrested by an Omaha officer. It is alleged that the parties under arrest in Omaha have a criminal record, and further developments are expected. Landlord Musselman offers $100 reward for the return of the ring. The Wathena Waahing Machine Oo. gave a two days' demonstration for Johannes & Krumland. closing Saturday afternoon with a drawing. Over 1,000 tickets bad been dktributed during the week and fully 500 people, each hopeful ot winning the prize, were present. The Wathena man explained tbe merits ot the White. Cloud and Wathena washers. A committee was chosen to conduct the drawing and little Miss Elston drew the tickets from tbe box.

Price per lb., 9c GRAY'S (B I The City Council. Considerable business was tranaacted by the city council at their meeting laat Friday evening, one of tbe important measures passed being tbe ordinance permitting the Union Pacific to extend their aide track across Quincy street to the plant ot the Columbus Light, Heat & Power Co. Thia ordinance was turned down in tbe apring. but some changes regardiag the grade of tbe track were made before its final passage. J. E. North appeared before the coun cil, and on behalf of those interested and asked that an arc light be placed at the coraer of Thirteenth and M streets, which request was referred to the pro per committee. The Union Pacific was also granted permisBon to extend the spur at the gaa works aoroas Kummer street. 'Frank Gerharz appeared before the council and complained that many of the telephone poles in tbe oity were located contrary to ordinance, and that employ es of aaid corporations frequently destroy trees, which were in their proper line. for the convenience of their telephone .lines, and aaked that tbe council prohi bit aay more auch poles to be placed ac cording to ordinance. A petition from tbe Second ward, signed by Jacob Greisen and five others, recommending the name of John Sch moeker aa councilman to succeed Sam Gaas, jr., in that ward upon his vacating hia seat, was presented end read, and de ferred for the preeent. Tbe request of Max Gottberg and others for an arc light at Thirteenth and Bickley streets was denied. Twelve more iron settees, tbe same as are now in use, will be purchased for Frankfort .park. A resolution was introduced which waa signed by tbe mayor and all the council men present declining to accept the resignation of Councilman Gaas from tbe S'sVobd ward. The council could not find any good reason why he should not continue as a member of that body, and owing to the fact that he is tbe head of important committees which have in charge work now being done for the city, and on account of bis being familiar with this work, his retirement from tbe oouocil would mean a re-arrangement of all committees at an inopportune time. With The Firemen's League. . Sunday's rain storm saved Hose Com pany No. 1 from a double defeat and aa it waa, tbey were easy victims for the No. 88, the score belngT4 to 8 in favor of tbe No. 2's, which, with one exception,' is tbe largest score sinoe'the season open ed. In the first innings the No. 2's, started out making five runs off Graves, and that was all his pitching for tbe day. After that tne game looked like a cinch for the No. 2's, and tbey began to get careless, and errors were quite com mon, but they were not confined to eith er team. There were no features in the game and it was simply a walk-away for the Twos. Batteries were: No. l's, Becher, Gravea and Merz; No. 2's, Staub and Walter Boettcher. Umpire, Wm. Kauff- But half an inning of the second game between the No. l's and the Hookies had been played when the rain storm came up, and thia game waa postponed until a later date. Another double header is billed for next Sunday the No. 2's playing both the No. l's and Hookies. With tbe No. 2'a winning again last Sunday, the teams are all even in stand ing, each being credited with 500 per cent and with fair weather the two games next Sunday will make a change in the standing of the club.
