Last Wednesday evening when west
bound train No. ') pulled into the station
a Sicilian woman, named Marie Bonana,
who was a passenger left the train and
refused to board it again. The woman
was enronte from New York to West
Berkley, Cat., and became temporarily
insane. She imagined that she was be
yond her destination, and refnsed to pro
ceed further. 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. Go
ing down she had to be put in the harn-
ness used for insane patients, but after
arriving there dfd not want to talk with
her people. The vice codbuI took charge
of the woman and got into communica
tion with her brother at West Berkley,
who said he could not afford to make
the trip to Omaha at present. As she is
in no condition to travel alone, she will
remain in charge of the vice council nntil
there is some way of sending her to her
destination with some one.

To the Citizens of the City of Co
lumbus, Nebraska.
Council Chambeb, Feb. 18, 1910.
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. Louis Held. Mayor,

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.
