We are informed that eight companies
of U. 8 cavalry, and Major Frank
North's Indians have succeeded in
capturing Bed Cloud and 720 horses,
which were distributed among the boys.
The Beaver valley presents every year
a largely increased breadth of land in
cultivation. The present fields sown
with rye look beautiful. We predict
for this valley, and that, too, not far in
the future, one of the richest spots of
farming lands in the state.
John Williamson, on his return from
the Oedar Valley the other day captur
ed in Boone county a noble looking bird
which the party present decided to be
an American eagle. The bird had the
tip of his wing shot off, else John could
never have captured him. John may
learn some useful lessons from that
bird. John's eagle talks with his eyes.
The farmers of Boone county are
about this time much elated with the
prospect of having a new market near at
hr.nd opened up for the immense pro
ducts raised in the Heaver valley and
vicinity. Already a good ferry boat has
been constructed, and is ready to con
vey the heaviest teams across the Loup
river, and everybody in Boone county is
talking of making Clarksville their fu
ture trading place. Business men at
other points who have heretofore hand
led their share of the products of the
Beaver valley, should note this change
and make an effort to keep their trade.

A new factory will be in operation in
this city within a few weeks. Fontein
Bros, the piano men, have leased the
Marry building, formerly occupied by
Nsylor & Gerrard, and carpenters are
now remodeling it for them, and they
expect to be turning out pianos in a short
time. The piano manufactured in this
city will be known as the "Fontein
Bros." piano, and will equal some of the
best instruments on the market. The
main parts of the instruments will be
manufactured elsewhere, but they will
be assembled and finished here. Messrs
Fontein Bros, have practical experience
in piano building, bejng engaged in that
line of business in Europe. The repro
duction of the factory at the start will
be six pianos per week, which will re
quire six employes besides the proprie
tors, who will devote a portion of their
time to the manufacturing department.
While in the east Wm. Fontein purchased
the supplies for the new factory and
they are expected to arrive soon. It is
understood that local capital is interest
ed in the new enterprise.
In the spring of 1898 Jacob Tschudy
of this city enlisted in Company K,
First Nebraska, and went to the Philip
pines to serve Uncle 8am daring the
8panish American war. After being
discharged from the volunteer service
he again re-enlisted in the islands.
Shortly after this he was taken sick and
had several operations, but the tropical
heat was such that his mind was affect
ed, and he was then brought to the
United 8tates hospital at Washington,
D. C. Here he remained for seven and
one-half years. During the last year be
had been gradually regaining his health,
and during the month of October the
authorities declared that he was in con
dition to leave the hospital, so last Sat
urday he returned to his home in Col
umbus after an absence of over eleven
years. He is still a little weak, but
hopes to regain his usual health. As a
result of his sickness Jake will draw a
pension of $17 per month from Uncle
Sam.
Columbus may have an opportunity
to experiment with oiled streets, which
have proven so popular in many locali
ties. An expert in this line employed by
the Standard Oil company was in the
city last week and talked with a number
of our citizens regarding this way of
improving the streets, and gave tbem-an
idea as to the possible cost. The com
pany does not take any contracts for
doing this work, but furnishes the mate
rial, and their expert would come here
and superintend the putting in of an ex
perimental block, to give a practical
demonstration of the method. It is
claimed that streets so treated will wear
for twelve years, and are practically as
good as pavement. It is too late in the
season to do anything this year, but it is
quite probable that an experimental
block may be put in next spring.
It will require $15,000 to build the pro
posed new jail, city hall and fire bouse,
and petitions are being circulated asking
the council to call a special election for
bonds to that amount. After the coun
cil had purchased a lot for the new jail,
a number of citizens took up the matter
of combining the three city hall, jail
and fire bouse in one building, and erect
ing a structure that would be a credit to
the city. The council committee have
disposed of the lot recently purchased,
west of Paul Hagel's cold storage house,
and bought the forty-four feet just west
of that location, where it is proposed to
erect the new building. It goes without
saying that Columbus is sadly in need of
a new jail, and quarters ample for all
three purposes, city ball, jail and fire
house, could be built much more econo
mically than separately.
Tuesday of this week the last portion
of the work on the new Union Pacific
double track bridge across the Loup,
west of this city, was commenced. This
work consists of plscing in position the
steel girders and other work of this
nature, and when this is complete the
structure will be ready for the rails. At
present there are one and one-half of the
masonry piers to complete, but this is
being hurried as fast as possible, a large
gang of men being employed. It will
probably be about March first when
trains can use the double track across
the bridge, but it may be a little sooner.
When the bridge is completed it will fill
in the only stretch of single track be
tween Omaha and Kearney, also do away
with the four men now employed at the
bridge to signal the trains.
Mrs. Gerhard Wordenburg, aged 55
years, died at 8t. Mary's hospital, where
she was brought for treatment from her
home, north ofCreston. Deceased was
born in Bavaria, Germany, August 30,
1851. In 1889 she married Gerhard
Wordenburg at Madison. Besides her
husband she leaves six children, five
8onsand one daughter. Funeral servi
ces were held Sunday in Creston, Bev.
Fricken of Madison conducting the ser
vices. Plans for the ground floor and base
ment of the new federal building were
received by Postmaster Kramer Monday
of thia week. The plans are sent to Mr.
Kramer for any suggestion he may make
as regarding any changes, for they de
sire that he shall submit what sugges
tion he may desire to the department.
After these are returned, which will be
in the course of a few days, the plans
foe the exterior will be taken op.

The Election.
06 far as Platte county was concerned
the election awakened very little interest
as the local fight did not even get warm,
the republicans having but one county
candidate in the field, W. H. Bobbins,
for sheriff, who was defeated by his de
mocratic opponent, Henry Lachnit, by
approximately 800 votes. Wm. Webster,
the only republican candidate for super
visor, waa probably defeated by Daniel
Wilson, by a small margin.
On the state tioket the democratic
supreme judges carried the county by
about l.'oOO, Judge Sullivan running
200 ahead of the remainder of the ticket
The workers complained about the in
difference of the voters, which was
largely on account of there not being a
complete county tioket in the field.
Following is the unofficial vote of
Platte county on supreme judges:

With impressive services appropriate
to the occasion the German Evangelical
Lutheran church of this city, which has
been enlarged to double its former cap
acity was dedicated last Sunday. There
were three services, the first or dedicat
ory service proper being held in the
morning, and being conducted by Rev.
E. Deninger of the Loseke Creek churoh.
In the afternoon the second service was
conducted by Rev. F. Holm of the
Grand Prairie church, and the evening
service by Rev. E. Olschlager of West
Point, the two first services being in
German and the evening service In Eng
lish. At all the services the building
was filled to its capacity, extra seats be
ing required, as many were present from
the neighboring church. This dedica
tion, coming as it does on the twenty
fifth anniversary of the completion of
the first building, marks an epoch in the
history of the church. In 1883 Rev. H.
Meissler, the present pastor, was as
signed to this charge, which at that time
had no church edifice. But the next
year, 1884, the church, to which the ad
dition was built, was erected, and dedi
cated in the latter part of December,
1884. The original building was 28x45,
and the communicants at that time
numbered fifty. But the church grew,
and when the new 'addition was com
pleted, which was 22x48, at a cost
of $3,700, the number of com
municants had increased to 300. The
churoh, as it stands at present, was
dedicated free from debt, and in addi
tion to this improvement, a splendid
pipe organ will be purchased, at a cost
of not less than $1,000. Rev. Meissler,
who has been the pastor for over a
quarter of a century, has had the satis
faction of seeing the struggling church
of fifty members increase until it is one
of the largest and most thriving in the
city.
L.O. Luckey is congratulating him
self over the fact that he still has two
arms instead of one, as the result of an
encounter with a oorn picker Monday.
An ear of corn caught in the picker,
and he attempted to remove it with his
hand. In some way his glove got
caught in the machine and when he
succeeded in getting it loose he was
minus the first joint of one of his fingers
and another one was badly torn. As bis
glove caught between two rollers, it was
very fortunate that Mr. Luckey succeed
ed in getting it loose before his arm was
drawn into the machine.
Henry Rickert is making some sub
stantial improvements on the buildings
be recently purchased at the southwest
corner of Thirteenth and Lewis streets.
The foundation is being extended down
to a full basement and a new modern
pressed briok front put in. Thirty feet
will also be built on the rear of the
buildings, making them ninety feet in
length. Louis Lutejeharms occupies
the west building with his implement
warehouse, but Mr. Rickert says he is
looking for a tenant for the corner
building.
Last Wednesday afternoon County
Judge Ratterman, after hearing the evi
dence, ordered May r'lynn sent to the
industrial school for girls at Geneva,
and Thursday morning she was taken to
that institution by Deputy -Sheriff
Jaworski. Three others of the Flynn
children were taken in charge by the
sisters of St. Mary's academy, for the
present, but the baby, being too young,
was allowed to remain with its mother.
The action of the judge in the matter will
be beneficial to the children, as they
were sadly, in need of paternal care.

The Cymca club holds its regular
meeting next Thursday evening at 8:30
o'clock.
Preparations are being made for the
observance of the week of prayer for the
Young Men's Christian Association of
the world. A strong program is being
arranged.
Six boys' bible classes enrolling sixty
boys were organized and will meet at 6
o'clock every Friday evening for supper
and a thirty minute lesson in a course
on the "Travels of Paul."
The boys' religious work committee
has taken hold of the boys' Sunday
meetings and has chosen their speakers
for a month in advance. Rev. Wm. L.
Dibble will speak next Sunday.
The Young Mens' Christian Associa
tion does not forget the men away from
home at Thanksgiving time. A Thank
giving dinner will be given by the local
association to the men away from home.
Friday evening, Oct. 29, the associa
tion building was given over to the
Cymca clnb halloween party. The whole
evening was a marked success and re
flects much credit upon the club and the
young ladies who so generously gave
their service in decorating and enter
taining. The Evelyn Bargelt Concert company
thoroughly entertained an audience of
300 last Thursday evening. The second
number on the entertainment course
will be Mr. Gillilan, the humorist, on
November 19. Remember that date.
Tickets are now on sale, 80 cents to mem
bers and $1.25 to others.
Our boys department will raise $100.00
to defray our share of the expenses of
the boys' state convention which con
venes here on the 26tb, 27th and 28th of
November. The necessary organization
for raising this fund is being effected
this week. We hope that the people
will give us a hearty response.
An indoor athletic meet of Sunday
school boys will ba pulled off Saturday,
December, lltb. This meet is being ar
ranged and controled by the physical
committee of the boys' department.
The events to be pulled off are a potato
race; a running hig jump; a fifteen yard
dash; and a relay race. Four places
will be given in each event as follows:
first place 4 points; second place 3
points; third place 2 points; fourth
place 1 point. Prize ribbons will be
given to the winners of the four places
in each event. Points won in the relay
race will not count for any individual
but for the Sunday school which the
winning teams represent. The Y. M. C.
A. will present a beautiful penant to the
Sunday school winning the most points
in the entire meet. All the Sunday
schools of the city are invited to take
part in this meet. There is but one con
dition of elegibility, namely that every
boy who takes part must have a perfect
attendance at his own Sunday school
for the four consecutive Sundays be
ginning with November 14th. The
Sunday school superintendents of the
city are co-operating heartily in this
plan and we expect some patriotism
among the Sunday schools at the meet
December 11. '
