Files of the Joutaal Dee. 27, 1876.
Hon. J. E. North returned from the
Bleak Hills Monday, where he went on a
quick business trip. He says that gold
duet ia plentiful, especially at Dead wood
which ia tolerably strong evidence that
it is a good mining country.
One of our Platte county land ageata
eaya that Platte oouaty ia not receiving
proper share of imaugratioa. Ha com
plains that the citizens of Columbus do
not take pains to talk up the advantages
of Platte county for eettlers as against
the newer counties; that our land ia
fully as good, it not better, than the new
counties adjoining it, that our markets
and ready access to market are much
preferable to any other, and yet we do
not receive oar just share of immigra
tion. He explains by saying that part
ies coming here with a view to purchas
ing land stop 'at the Clother or Ham
mond house, and that they . naturally
come into conversation with farmers
from other counties who present the
claims of their respective localities for
consideration, and thus the immigrant
ia induced to go elsewhere. Our friend
does aot wish to be understood as oen
earing these farmers for trying to secure
immigrants, but he does not believe
that our own people are active enough.
If the citizens of Platte county would
make an effort to talk up their own lo
cality he believes that we could retain a
large share of the immigration to this
section of the state, and thus immensely
increase the value of land in Platte coun
ty, and greatly benefit every business
interest of Columbus.

"The Holy City" which we also hope to

of the piece the most romantic penod in
the history of Mexico, the brief reign
of the unfortunate Maximillian. The
character of Agnlia, the desoendent of
the Monteznmas, the last of a race now
extinct is a poetio creation whiob ap
peals to oar uugiaation. The other
characters of a long and interestiog oast
are equally strongly drawn. The special:
ties introduced by the comedy element
are strictly in keeping- with theatraos

A. Duasell & Son of this city were
awarded the oontract by the city council
last Friday night for putting down the
five new wells at the city water works,
their bid being t240. These wells will
be located north of the present building
and will be at a euScient distance from
each other to not interfere with the flow
of water. Work oa them will be com
menoed as soon aa the neoessary material
arrives. Besides disposing of the well
matter the council provided for the re
vising of the city ordinances by the city
attorney, his compensation for the work
being fixed at $175. When thia work is
completed, the council will then be in a
position to ascertain the oost for print
ing tbem, and should it be within the
reach of the appropriation, thia will be
done.
B M. Garfield's "The Girltbat'sall the
Candy" played before a good bouse at
the Academy last night. In the langu

Hans Snitzel, played by Edward Niner
was the main malefactor and Hans did
hie duty. His big hit of the evening
was the song "Paradise" in the last act
Aramute by Miss Juliette Niner was the
girl who peddled the candy,' her big.
feature being when she tossed a big
backet full of Candy biases to the audi-
enoe. George -Clark played Adolphue

An order has been received by Post
master Kramer from the department
directing. the rural carriers to make a
report of all unmulable packages carri
ed by them during, the month of Jan
uary, 1910. This will be done by all
the carriers in the service, and it is
quite probable that the dta obtained
will be used in connection with propos
ed parcels post legislation. And in con
nection with the rural service, another
order has been issued regarding the
penny nuisance. This is one thing the
department ia trying to put atop, to and
instructs the carriers and postmasters
to use their efforts to induce patrons to
place postage on their mail instead of
depositing pennies in tbe boxes.

Lsst Wednesday afternoon Mrs. S. C
Gray met with a very serious and pain
ful accident. She had walked over to
the home of her son. C. .C. Gray, and
was stepping up on the back porch,
when she slipped on some ice and fell,
dislocating and fracturing her hip. Aa
there was no one at home at the time,
but Mrs. Vallier, who lives across the
street, came to her. assistance, and suc
ceeded in getting her home. On account
of her advanced age, she being aboat
seventy years of age. the injury is all
the more serious, and at present abeia
confined to her bed, and it will be quite
a while before she will be able to be out
again.
In a few days tbenew mail box for the
Union Pacific depot will be installed,
and it will be in accordance' with the re
quest of Postmaster Kramer that one be
provided so clerks on passing mail trains
could take out the contents. The boxes
are provided with two locks one for the
city carriers and the other for the postal
clerks on tbe trains. Notices will be
posted on the boxes telling what trains
take mail from them aad also .what
hours city collections are made. These
new boxes will beappreoiated by the de
pot employes, direct 'the person with a
letter to the box. aad give the assurance
that it will be the quickest way for tbe
letter to get started oa its journey.

.The Doxeya Indicted for Murder.
A St. Louis dispatch of December 18,
tells of the last step in the Doxey ones,
as follows; Charged with murder in
the first degree in connection with the
death last July of William J. Erder. Dr.
Lorea B. Doxey of Columbus, Neb., aad
his wife, Dora EV Doxey. are tonight
held ia tbe city jail. No eommsaiea-
tioa may paw between them except ia
writing and that only after the jailor
hat approved the missives.
They are charged with responsibility
for the death here on July 10, of William
J. Erder, who died after a brief illness.
Mrs. Doxey, it is charged, was married
to Erder a few weeks before hie death.
Analysis of Krder'e visoera revealed
considerable arseaio therein. The in
formation of the oircuit attorney upoa
whicfi Mm. Doxey was brought here
from Nebraska charged that Erder waa
gtVsn poison in his food.
Tbe court's action waa taken on the
application of Harry Roeskopf, aeaiatant
circuit attorney, who appeared in open
court and announced that indictments
had been1 found against Dr. aad Mrs.
Doxey.
He then asked that the warraate be
issued, adchag that the iadiotmenU
would be returned into court as sooa as
they had been drawn up and verified.
Thia will take several days.
Both prisoners todsy asserted their in-
noosneeot the charges lodged against
them. They added that their attorney
had instructed them not to discuss the
As" the Missouri statutes do not recog
nize accessories to crime aa such, Dr.
Doxey is charged with being n principal
although he was not in St. Louis when
Erder was taken ill.
The circuit attornev'a office 'assorts
that evidence will be produced to show
that he was in communication with Mrs.
Doxey while she, according to tbe chargea
wssjninistering to Erder aa tbe letter's
wife
Mini Kate Erder. sister of the dead
man. asserted that her effort to solve
the mystery of her brother's death will
not. cease.
MI will do all in my power to furnish
evidence needed by the prosecution."
said MhwErder. "When I first reported
the matter to the police I waa told that
the burden of proof was on me. I have
produced the proof thus far and I will
still take part in the case."
Y. M. C.A. Notes.
Mr. Kienzel is putting the baskets up

The social committee is planning a

making arrangements for something
special for men in the gymnasium on
New Years' dsy.
A large number of memberships are
due at this time. Those who know
that their membership has expired sad
wish to renew would do a great favor
for the membership, committee as well
aa the employed officers by notifying the
offloe of their desire to renew. Let us
all join hands in working for renewals
and new members.
The mens' meeting last Sunday

Brugger. Next Sunday afternoon tbe
mane' meeting will be a Ohristmaa ser
vice. Thia will be special and Bev. D.

message. The service begins at 4 o'clock.
We extend a very cordial invitation to
all the men .in the city to attend this
meeting and bring your friends:
C. C. Sheldon spoke to the boys
laat Sunday at their Sunday meeting.
They profited very much by his sympath
etic talk with them. We only wish that
more boys, both members and those
who are not members could come to our
Sunday meetings. It dose a. boy good
to think seriously about himself and
others at least once a week. Our meet
ing next Sunday will be p something
special. G. W. Phillips is the speaker
aad we will have special music. The
meeting begins at 3 o'clock. Be on
time.
C, G. Sheldon haa offered to pay
the expenses to tha next state boys'
convention of the boy who is most re
gular in attendance at theY. M. O. A.
bible clasaes this winter. It looks as
though a number of fellows will win the
right to that prize. Last Friday even
ing 44 fellows sat down to the bible
class supper at C o'clock and went to
their class rooms at 6:30. Almost all of
these boys have been in their clasaes
every Friday evening since the clssees
began in the fall and expect to be there
just ss regularly until the claseee close
in tbe spring.

And they gave a performance which
could aot help but please. The enow
would hold ita own with the big $1.50
