KAVANAUGH Tuesday evaning at 5:05 the automo bile bearing the Taft message from the Philadelphia Press to President Taft at Seattle, arrived in this city, The car which brought it from Omaha was dri ven by H. E. Fredrickson of that city, accompanied by W. H. Bruner, and the run was made in about two hours and thirty minutes. Upon the arrival of the Omaha the car the message was deliver ed to Chas li. Dack of this city, who, ac companied by. Dr. J. E. Paul, left for Kearney. The portion of the run made by Mr. Dack was good, reaching Kear ney, a distance of 110 miles, at live minutes after nine, making the trip in less" than four hours. The time for the car to reach here was 5:30. but it arrived ahead of time almost thirty minutes. But the Columbus car made better time lo Kearney, reaching 'there almo3t an ifonr ahead of the time reported for tlicm. Besides the Taft message the packet contained messages from the mayors of the different cities to the mayor of Seattle, the last one to be en closed being one from Mayor Dahlman of Omaha. Two messengers who were to traval part of the distance in the car expected to over take it here, but they arrived an hour and a half late on Nu. 15. From here they continued to Ker ney by train, but Mr. Dack made a much quicker run than they had antici pated, so they did not catch the mes sage at that city. Y. M. C. A. Notes.

GRAY'S 'BBSS BBBb) Bn SSjtnSjIypSjSSSSSJ Bixby on Columbus. When Bixby of the State Journal writes regarding Columbus, it is always interesting, and the following from his "Daily Drift" after bis recent visit to this city is up to his usual standard. But for the ancient and long-draw-out contest for trade supremacy between the faction north of the U. P. tracks and other faction that for long attraoted the heavy end of the pole of Commercial progress Columbus would todsy be the Third city of Nebraska instead of the tenth or eleventh. When we first came to Nebraska, Columbus was get ting a heavy trade from far to the north west, and now it is the central point of trade for a large territory. The old fight is ended, and the people are united in working for the progress of the city without regard to selfish sectional inter ests. Israel Gluck who onoe stood the south side against all comers, has be come a resident of Omaha and ventures upon the old stamping grounds only when assailed with an irresistible long ing to shake hands with the friends of his youth. Fatty Curtis, who, when he he stepped on either edge of the town, causean to tip mat way, is literally as well as figuratively "holding down" a station in Montana, snd the places that knew him in Platte county will know him no more forever. Some of the old settlers of Columbus have moved away, some are in the little city to the east where the whitemarblee glisten in the sunlight, and a goodly number are still doing business at the old stand or sit ting back in their easy chairs watching the younger generation as it does the heavy lifting. Columbus is prosperous, its schools doing a great work, it has a model Y. M. C. A. building, and the organization boasts a membership of 345. The influence of this organization helped mightily in ridding the city of a class of "undesirable citizens" that have long been a terror to civilization, and the moral tone of the community is higher than it ever was before. What Columbus now needs in the way of material blessings is a county court house. The old one, built nearly fifty years ago, is liable to fall down and bury the records, or do the same to the intelligent jury when court is in session The present structure, which cost but $20,000 in the first place, is a disgrace to the rich old county of Platte, and a humiliation to the gifted men chosen to transact the public business of the same. Sometimes I really like to go, Where solemn mem'ries troop. To see the friends I used to know Up there beside the Loup. The city has much larger grown, The trees are taller now; The trotting horse I used to own, The poor old spotted cow. The types and press have gone for good, Smoke vanishing in air, And I would never, if 1 could, Go back and find them there. Enough that when I tread the ground, I trod, it seemed, in vain. Some sturdy friends may still be found, To prove that "loss is gain." And though you made me sick and blue. And one time broke me fiat, My heart still fondly turns to you, Columbus on the Platte.

Mrs. Elizaoeta Loseks, wife of Henry Loseke, sr., died Monday evening at her borne on West Tenth street, after being an invalid for over five years. Mrs. Loseke wss born in Baden, Germany, in 1831, where she lived until about seven teen years ago, when she came to Ameri ca and to Platte county in 1868, set tling on Shell Creek, north of the city. Here she married Henry Loseke tad re sided there on Loseke Creak, untifoar teen years ago, when aha and her hus band moved to this city.

Since Sunday there have been two small wrecks in the Union Pacific yards here the first one occuriag Sunday night when the switch engine had its cab torn off. Engineer Brock and Fireman Braun, who were in the engine at the time, escaped injury, but the emrine had to be sent to the Omaha shops. Tuesday evening the switchmen were handling a string of cars on the track east of the depot, when a coupliag pulled out and let the cars back into a string of oars standing on the switch and the cars on both tracks were de railed. Passenger train No. 3 was stand ing on the main line, and for 4 time it looked as though one of the cars would be pushed over against that train. Bat the car next to the passenger train was a load of gravel and remained in an up right position.

Jacob Wagner arrived Fri day after taking a trip to San Francisoo, where he left the remainder of the party who went to Portland and rjeattle, and are expected home next week. W. L Chenoweth was another of the fortunate one, he having secured a 160 acre tract Both of those who returned were well pleased with their trip and country, and predicted a great future for southern Oregon. Because she stated under oath on the witness stand that her name was Mrs. Roy Field, snd that she had never been known as RubyDelmar, Mrs. Field was up before Judge Ratterman to answer a purjury charge. This is in connection with one of the cases against Orioket Myers, who was charged with conduct ing a house of ill fame, and the testimony in that case is the basis for the second charge. The last complaint was filed by M. Brugger, and after the hearing Judge Ratterman bound the defendant over to the district court, fixing the bond at $250. Joseph Henggler of Stookville was in Columbus this week 'looking after busi ness affairs, and while here disposed of his two hundred and ten acre farm, north of the city, C. H. 8beldon being the purchaser and the price was $86 per acre. Mr. Henggler says that some por tions of his locality suffered severly from the dry weather, but that his place, and others, which sre situated in the Medi cine creek valley, were not affected by it and that the crops there will be average ones. No unsightly telephone and telegraph wires or cables will mar the architect ural beauty of the new Union Pacific depot, as none will be in evidence.
