All the latest shades and styles in WALL PAPER Paper Hanging and Decorating Sign Writing a SiiciaHy D. C. KMNAUGH Last Thursday evening every town on the Spalding and Albion branches was represented by delegates from their com mercial clubs at the meeting held in the couucil chamber to discuss the change in the schedules of the trains on those branches. It developed that there were three different changes proposed by the various towns represented, the first be ing brought out by those from the Spald ing line, and that was to have the freight, which leaves here at 0 a. m., run on schedule time to Spalding, so that those living on that line could get their mail on timej as under the present arrangement it is often from a few min utes to one and two hours late. The present schedule of the passenger train was ierfectly satisfactory to them, and they protested against any change. Al bion had the second proposition, and while they asked for better accomoda tions in equipment, their main request, and the one which they were pushing, was for a motor car service between their town and Columbus, the schedule to le arranged so as to have the motor leave Albion in time to connect with the eastbound Grand Island local in the morning, and return to Albion after the arrival of the .train from Omaha in the even inc. The proposition of Col umbus to have the Spalding train re main here an hour or more longer, was rIro nreaanted. After the discussion had been concluded, the delegates from the Spaldiug branch introduced a reso lution asking that no change be made in the time of the passenger train, but that the freight train be run on time going up, und that the two freight trains be run separately from Genoa to Colum bus. Albion then asked an endorsement of the motor car service they were ask ing for be included in the resolution, and this was done. A vote was taken and the two propositions were unani mously endorsed by the assembled re presentatives of the commercial clubs. Superintendent Ware of the Union Paoi- fie, at whose request the meeting was called, was unable to be present, but he was represented by Assistant Superin tendent Oarey. Secretary Kereenbrock of the local Commercial club was in structed to prepare the resolutions and forward them to the proper officials. After the meeting adjourned the visit ing delegates were given a banquet at the Oxford restaurant. Last Wednesday one of the numerous boys who make a practice or riding Union Pacific t-ains as they pass through the city very nearly came lo grief. His name was Leonard Her. and the story ur.w Unit. Iih was standing beside the track and told his little comrades that he intended to catch the train for a short ride. But he did not judge the speed of the train correctly, and when attempting to board it, was thrown to the ground and a scalp wound and sprained ankle resulted. While Leonard's experience may serve as a lesson to some or the boys, there are others who pay no atten tion to it in fact, boys were jumping on and off the trains as usual shortly after the accident happened. While there is a city ordinance against this practice, to put a stop to it would require that a man be placed at each crossing. Parents are the ones to look after this, and unless they do, there is uo telling how soon their boys may be brought home a cripple. hast Wednesday afternoon the execu tive committee of the Nebraska State Association of Commercial clubs met in this city at the Thurston hotel, and selected Wednesday and Thurs day, April 27th and 28th, as the dates for the annual convention to be held in this city. Those present at the meeting were President H. M BuBhnell or hincolu. Secretary F. .1. Kersenbrock of Columbus. Treasurer F. S. Thompson of Albion; .1. M. Guild of Omaha, W. A. Witzgnianof Norfolk. The Columbus club was represented by M. D. Karr and Carl Kramer. During the past year the number of commercial clubs in the state have been increased and, at least three hundred delegates are expected to be present at the Columbus meeting. As yet the program has not been outlined, but there will be a banquet Thursday evening, following the reception of the delegates. J. O. Barnell, for a number of years a resident of this city, while a brakeraan on the Burlington freight between Col umbus and Lincoln, was instantly killed at Kearney last Saturday morning while coupling the engine onto a passenger train. Some time ago Mr. Barnell was transferred to the Aurora and Kearney passenger run, and moved to Aurora, but later to Kearney. At the time of the accident the depot platform was filled with passengers waiting to board the train, but no one saw the accident or could tell how the unfortunate man met his death. His leg was broken and the bone forced into his body, and his skull was also fractured. Mr. Barnell leaves a wife and four children. Last week the transfer of the Cover building to O. S. Easton was placed on record, and the building turned over to the new owner. For the present, or at least until their new garage is completed, the Columbus Automobile company will occupy the building. After that, if present plans materialize, a company will open up a wholesale fruit store in the building. Mr. Easton will be inter- Zested in this enterprise, and devote a 1 share of bis time to it.

The steel spans and planking on the roadway on that portion or the Platte bridge is completed, and the only work yet remaining on that jtortion of the structure is the railing. The lumber which hail been delaying the work, ar. rived last week, and now the repairing of the bridge is all that remains to be finished. George Blocdorn returned last Satur day from St. Louie, where he went some time ago for an operation on bis knee. Since leaving here George has had more than his share of trouble, and met with an accident that delayed the operation. Later he was ready for the operation, but an unexpected complication had arisen, caused by forming of an abcese at the injury. This has caused another delay, and the attending surgeons are unable to determine just when the opera tion nan be performed, and advised George to return home until later, when he will return again for the operation.

Tuesday evening Mrs. fleorge Hsgel had the misfortune to stumble and fall down the stairs at their rooms over the bowling alley. She was rendered un conscious for a few minutes, and for a time it was thought that her hip had been fractured again. But fortunately there was nothing more than a bad sprain or the knee and a few bruises, but this will confine her to her room for some time. Between two and three o'clock last Saturday morning many Columbus citizens were aroused by a shook or jar ring that resembled an explosion . Win dows rattled and in some places the dishes in the cupboards were disturbed. There were two distinct shocks, and those who were awake at the time heard both or them. Just what it was caused by, no one knows, bnt it extended to north or Monroe and north or this city in fact, some of the farmers telephoned to the central asking whether or not there bad been an explosion in the city. Whatever the disturbance was, it was quite out of the ordinary, and was of the nature or an earthquake. Tuesday evening, Adolph Meyer, aged 73 years, died at the home or bis daugh ter.

The Bonds Carry. Tuesday's special election resulted in an almost unanimous vote for both the city hall and water works bonds. In not one of the wards was. there any opposi tion to speak of. The firemee, who were deeply interested in securing a perman ent home for the department, worked all day for both propositions, and especially for the city hall. Three men in uniform were stationed at each of the polling places. as workers, and every member of the department interested themselves in behalf of the proposition. When the re sult was announced the boys started a bon fire near the new location for the city hall and sent in an alarm to celebrate the fact that the bonds bad carried.
