In the hope that she would soon be able to resume her jour ney Agent Brown arranged for quarters for her at St. Mary's hospital, but she left that institution at three o'clock in the morning. She was finally placed in custody of Sheriff Lachnit, and P. F. Luschsinger, who speaks the Italian language, conversed with her sufticient ly to lind out where she was from and her destination. Later Sheriff Lachnit telephoned the Italian vice consul at Omaha, who instructed him to bring the woman to that cit, which he did.

Grand Island, lied Cloud, Superior, Se ward, Kearney and Fremont. Central City has asked for a membership in the league, but Columbus is a more desir able place from the view taken by the state officials. Each town is to put 8500 as a guarantee that their club will finish the season, so there will not be any va cant dates after the schedule is prepar ed.

It has come to our attention that at a meeting held in the city during the past week the mayor and council were sub jected to some criticism for the action they have taken in submitting the pro position to build a city hall and that a resolution was introduced and adopted declaring against said proposition. In view of this, and without in any way seeking to influence the voteon this pro position one way or the other, we take this means of placing lefore the people of the city the situation in which the council found itself and the difficulties contended with in this connection. To begin with, all seem to be agreed that a City Hall should lie bnifc. Our city has reached a stage where the city administration and the several depart ments should have a permanent and creditable adminstrntion building. Our present quarters are inadequate for the use of our fire department in holding their meetings and offer no facilities for the proper care of the city's records. The Water Commissioner is in need of headquarters and, in addition to this, it was necessary that provision be made for a city jail, and that at once. But on this point there is little difference of opinion everyone concedes that a city the size of Columbus and as prosperous and energetic as we boast ourselves to be, should have a city ball. The trouble all arises on two points the cost of the bnilding and the location. Before passing the ordinance in ques tion and submitting the question to the voters, members of the city council vis ited several neighboring ritiee in which buildings nf this character have recent ly been erected, inspected them and as certained their cost. In addition to this, Architect Wurdeman was consulted, and he has prepared plans and drawings of a building which, in the opinion of the members, was not only well suited to needs, but which would be a credit and an ornament to me city, rromine in formation gained in tins way, we were satisfied that a creditable City Hall could be built for the sum of $15,000, and we have given you our best opinion and judgement in the proposition submitted. On the question of a location we have had our greatest difficulty. It was not a question of North or South with us ami it should not be with the voters when tt-ey come tndrcide the question Some think we should have procured a site closer to the business district. We could not even secure an offer on a lot more central than the one selected at any price. There wasn't an owner of pro lerty in the business section who would put a price upon his property. Several of our meml-ers put in the greater part of a week working on this precise ques tion and were unable to do nnything more than we have done. No business house wants a jail next door, nor does any business man want a piece of dead property next to his and that is what a building of this character would be. From a business standpoint it is dead. We want the voters to give the matter of site as close consideration as we have. In the first place it is but little farther from the center of town than our pre sent quarters. For the purposes of the Fire and Police Departments it could not be bettered and its convenience for the water commissioner is apparent. Our bond issue is not half what it would have to be were the City Hall built on the high priced property in the heart of the business section and if the voters will take occasion to examine the plans and sketches prepared by the architect, we think they will conclude with us, that the bnilding proposed will le a thing of which our people can be justly proud. We regret that this communication has been made necessary, but deem it on ly fair to the people we have been select ed to represent to give them the facts leading up to the submission of this pro position.

The Druggist on the Corner Columbus, Nebraska Frank Alt, a resident of Alexis town ship, Butler county, since 1877. died last Friday, aged 7:t years. Mr. Alt was born in Austria, January :t, 1K17. He was married in the land of bis birth in 1857, and came to America twenty years later, settling in Nebraska and Butler county, which has since been his home, and he diet! on the homestead he took in the early days. Besides his wife there are seven children. Joseph, Herman, John and Ferdinand Alt. and Mrs. Anna SeliergiT. Aire. Francis Maylierger, Mrs. Augusta Zweiner Funeral services were held Monday in St. Joseph's church being conducted by Father Hoffman of Bel I wood. Frederic Thompson's "Polly of the Circus," which comee to the North Theatre soon is one of the biireeat at tractions on the road and carries a car of horseK and the largest scenic pro duction that has ever been at the North in a good many years. Fay Wallace plays the title part in "Polly of the Cir cus." Mr. Thompson, who built the huge Hippodrome and is the owner of the greatest amusement park in the world today. Luna Park, Coney Island, New York City, has spared no expense in showing thin play on the road exactly as it was been at the Liberty Theatre, Nov.- York Oity, where; it piayeur.ve. on, year. Wednesday the February term of dis trict court for Platte county convened with Judge Tliotuns on the Iiench. Al though there are a numlier of criminal cases on the docket, it is quite probable that none will be tried at this term. The case or the state ni;ainst Marinus Anderson of Lindsay, charged with in cest, will at least go over nntil the next term and may lie dismissed at this term as the complaining witness, his daughter, cannot be found. The first civil case on the docket to le tried is that of Joseph Zuroski against the Union Pacific rail road. Last snmmer, while standing on the North street crossing one evening, Zuroski was struck by a west bound train nntl thrown over against the fence around the park. While there were no bones broken, he was severely shakes up, and is now suing the company for damages. The term promises to lie a short one. Last weekj the Y. M. C. A. Business Men's ns-ociation passed resolutions against the proposed city hall bonds which will be voted for on Tuesday, and the firemen of the city have now taken up the fight on lielialTof the proposition. At a meeting of the firemen held pre vious the sentiment was unanimous in favor of the eity hall, and several strong talks were made in behalf of it. The firemen are interested in the proposed city hall aB it will provide ii permanent home for the department, and also a fire house worthy of the city, and reeling this way, they propose to get out and work for the lionds. Practically the whole department, lo a man, is in favor of the new city hall, and they feel that the success of the bonds is due them, and Columbus has a fire department that they can well be proud of, the record of losses by fire since the estab lishment of the department being less than any other city of the same size in the state.
