Files of the Jouruiil February ill, 18T7.
On Friday last Mr. David Anderson
shipped a cnr load of fat hogB to Omaha.
The packers, ho says, are demoralized.
Chicago is estimated to now have in
Btore and on hands, sixteen acres of pork
sixteen feet deep.
One of onr country subscribers telle us
of a trick played by a tramp lately. He
stopped in the absence of the "man of
the house," asked for hay enough to feed
his pony, and then for something to eat
for himself, which was given, and when
the man of the house returned he found
that the tramp had stolen one of his best
halters. Such is the way of the "tramp."
We learn that John Huber and family
ure to return to their place, the Farmer's
Home, this week. It is so located, six
milea west of the city, as to be u very
convenient place for many or the irp ,-
country people who cannot reach the
city in a day's journey, and nlso for
those who can make the city and that
far back. Mr. ami Mrs Huber know
well how to entertain their guests, and
we have no doubt they will, as formerly,
have a large patronage.
At the ripe age of eighty-four years
C. irles Wake, for over forty years a
resident of this city, passed away at his
home in southeast Columbus last Sat
urday afternoon. Mr. Wake was born
in Rugby, England, March 1G, 182G.
After growing to manhood he crossed
the ocean and finally settled in Alton,
111., where in 18G0 he married Miss
Shefford. In 18GI they came to Omaha,
where they remained a year, going from
there to Salt Lake City. Here they
made their home for almost eight years,
and when, in 18G8, they started east
again, were compelled to make the trip
of one hundred miles overland, in order
to board the train on the then partly
finished Union Pacific railroad. Re
turning to Colnmbna the same year
this city lias since been the family home.
For some time Mr. Wake was deputy
sheriff and also held other positions.
He was ulso one of the pioneer members
of Engine Company No 1 of the Colum
bus fire department, serving in that or
ganization for ten years. Ever since
the return of the family to this city they
have lived in the family home on east
Sixth street. He3ides his aged wire Mr.
Wake leaves three eons, Chas. W. of St
Edward, Frank W., postmpster at Ge
noa, and Thomas U. of Seward, who is
engaged in the baking business. Two
daughters, Mrs. J. Q. Becher and Mrs.
O. A. Allenberger, are both residents of
this city. Funeral services were held

Already there has been considerable
headway made in the securing a change
in the Spalding passenger, recently
agitated by the commercial club. Sup
erintendent Ware was in the city last
Thursday and while here held a confer
ence with a committee appointed by the
club. The sitnation was discussed and
the superintendent said the company
wished to arrange the schedules to ac
commodate the greatest number of peo
ple who were interested. After the con
ference Secretary Kersenbrock was in
structed to prepare a letter, to be sent to
all the towns along the Spalding and
Albion branches, asking them to send
delegates to this city on February 24, to
discuss the matter of the change with
the railroad officials. The letter, which
was sent out this week, takes up the
question from all points of view, stating
that the citizens of Albion have asked
something along this same line, aucf that ,
it Is but fair that all towns affected by
the change should be considered. At
this meeting the officials will hear all
complaints and recommendations, and if
possible, provide a schedule for the
trains that will be satisfactory to the
greatest number. This conference will,
in nil probability, result in a belter train
service and the towns should send dele
gates to the meeting of February 24, so
that all eides of the case will be fully
presented
Monday morning of this week the
Union Pacific placed in service their new
double track bridge across the Loupe
river, west of this city. All winter work
on the structure has been pushed so that
it would be completed before the ice
broke up in the river, and this, together
with favorublc weather, enabled them to
accomplish their end. All the false
work and temporary track under the
bridge has als? been removed, and every
thing is ready for a clear passage for
the ice. This bridge is the most im
portant and largest structure on the Un
ion Pacific lines in this state, and it is
estimated that the total cost will be
about $500,000. Work was commenced
on it nearly three years ago, and since
that time there have been us many aa
one hundred and fifty workmen employ
ed on it at one time. During the panic
in 1907 the work was temporarily stop
ped, only a few men being employed,
but with the completion of the doable
track east and west of this city, it was
again resumed and pushed to completion.
The six operators, three at each end of
the bridge, have been relieved and now
trains do not stop. About a month or
six weeks time will be required to com
plete the structure, as there is riveting
Hnd other work to be done, bat this will
not interfere in the least with traffic.

'St. Elmo" dramatized from the novel
of that name, is one of the brand new
offerings of the theatrical season. With
exceeding care. Miss Grace Hayward,
who gave "Graustark" to the stage, has
transformed Agnsta Evans-Wilson's
powerful novel into a touching play.
Her deft treatment of the dramatic inci
dents with which the book is filled to
the brim ba6 made it possible to visua
lize the characters in a way that will de
light every theater goer. It is to be pre
sented here by a company of ability
Wednesday evening Feb. 23. A cordial re
ception is assured for the reason that
the book itself retains to a large degree
its great popularity. It will interest
theater-goers to know that the first pre
sentation of "St. Elmo" was made by
Miss Hayward herself in Lincoln. Nebr ,
a few weeks ago. It was received with
warm praise, and. in fact, every expect,
ation of the dramatist and producer was
realized.

A few years ago it would take
three times as muoh to buy the

It is quite likely that another import

Commercial club at the meeting on Feb

the passenger train on the Spalding
branch is to be considered. At that
time tbe railroad officials will be pres
ent, anil the matter of navinsr will be
taken tin. not only that around the de
pot, but of some or the business streets.
It is understood that tbe Union Pacific
will pave around tbe depot as soon as
the weather permits, and in connection
with theCommercial club propose to use
their energies toward inducirg the city
and property owners in tbe business dis
trict to make a commendable start in
paving during 1910. Thirteenth, Elev
enth, and Twelfth streets, are the ones
they expect to start the paving on, if
possible, and probably Olive and North
streets. A few blocks of paving in the
heart of the city would be a good start
and eventually mean that Columbus
would have as much of paved street-, as
other cities in tbe state of tbe same size.
Parties interested in paving have been
here and looked over tbe ground and
will be in a position to submit estimate?,
should tbe property owners desire to do
the paving.
