April 25 is the date that has been se
lected by the council for the special
election for the Platte river bridge
bonds. The ordinance has been read
twice und will come up for the final
reading Wednesday evening. The
amount asked for is $25,000, and at the
same time the township will be asked to
vote &iO0o to assist in the building of
the bridge. At the meeting of the sup
ervisors last week a committee from the
city waited on them and asked for as
sistance in the repairing of the structure,
and the board voted to expend $5,000 for
that purpose. With amount asked for
the structure can be repaired bo that it
will be permanent, as the idea is to use
the same construction as the spans
built during the winter. The inability
of people living in Polk county to get to
Columbus deprives our merchants of
much trade that always comes here, and
it is also a great inconvenience to those
who live closer to Columbus than the
other towns, as they are compelled to go
further to do their trading.
Arrangements have been completed
for the remodelling of the three build
ings at the corner of Twelfth and Olive
streets, "which includes the First Nation
al Bank on the corner and the Gass and
Schubert buildings north of it. The
hank building will be reconstructed and
a brick wall replace the present one, be
ing of pressed brick, and the fronts of
the two other buildings will correspond
with this one. The upstairs of the Gass
building, and the second story to be con
structed on the Schubert building will
also contain offices. Entrances to the
second story of these buildings will lie
on Twelfth street. While the remodel
ling of their building is in progress the
bank will occupy the temporary struc
ture on Olive street moved from the
rear of the Meridian hotel, and the Pos
tal telegraph company which at present
occupies a portion of the bank building
will be housed in temporary quarters in
the street south of their present loca
tion. Fire starting from an unknown cause
was discovered Friday evening in the
building Bouth of the Friedhof store.
About four months ago, when the build
ing was occupied by the Palmer dye and
cleaning works, an explosion set it on
fire, and it was partially burned. Since
that time it has been vacant and the
day before the fire was sold by the own
er, V. IL Weaver, to P. F. Miller, for
50. Miller had made arrangements to
have it torn down this week, and save
what he could. Since the fire he has
commenced work on it and is having it
torn down. For awhile it looked as
though the Friedhof .store would be
damaged, and but for the fact that the
clerks were on the top tloor at the time
the tire was discovered and closed the
iron shutters, their damage would have
been considerable. Their loss, however,
is nominal.
Work of moving out the frame build
ing to make room for the new addition
to the Meridian hotel, was commenced
last week. The addition will be brick
and three stories high, the two upper
providing twenty additional sleeping
rooms for the hotel, and the ground
floor to be occupied by a mercantile
establishment. The new part will be
pressed brick, the same as the First
National bank building across the street,
and the present building will also be
veneered with pressed brick, and made
modern. The contemplated improve
ments will require an expenditure of
between $i:i,000 and $14,000. and when
completed the hotel building will be a
credit to the city. For the present the
interior will not be remodelled, but
later landlord Todeuhoft says that
this will he done.
The annual meeting of the Fish and
Game Protective association met at
Phillipps & lluilat's sporting goods
house Monday evening. Other than the
regular order of business and the re
election of all of the old officers, the
association instructed their secretary,
L. F. Phillipps, to purchase ten pair of
Hungarian partridges, the birds to be
liberated in this vicinity. Several coveys
of the ring-necked pheasants that the
association liberated one and two years
ago, have been seen this spring, which
shows that some of the birds at least
have come through the hard winter.
But it seems to be the general opinion
among members of the association that
the Hungarian partridge is going to
prove the better bird for this climate.
Saturday evening the democrats held
their city convention at the Firemen's
hall to place in nomination candities for
city offices. As this is practically an "off
year" only candidates for the council
and school board are to be elected. The
convention nominated the following
candidates for the council: First ward.

nominees for the Third ami Fourth
wards are at present members of the
council for those wards. As the school
bos ul is non-partisan, but one candidate
was named P. F. Lu6cbsinger to suc
ceed Henry Lnbker. Louis Lightner
was chairman Bnd Fred Plath secretary
of the convention.

Last Friday evening the parents of
the boys in the Bible study were guests
at a supper given by the hoys at the Y.
M. C. A. The purpose of the gathering,
besides the social enjoyment was to bring
the parents into closer touch with the
work the boys have been doing the win
ter. The menu was a good substantial
one and a committee of fine looking
boys performed the waiter's "stunt."
After every one had gone through the
menu, clear past the cake, James Colton
the toastmaster, delivered one of bis
eloquent addresses and proceeded with
veteran deliberateness to introduce the
speaker of the evening. Jim made a
good toastmaster for he kept things on
the move and bad some apt variations
for the introduction of each speaker.
"The Bible class suppers," was the sub
ject of the first speaker, Carl ftusche,
whom the toastmaster introduced as a
striking example of what the Bible class
supper will do for a fellow who is regu
lar in attendance. Carl made a good
talk, showing that there bad been an
average of about 40 boys in Bible classes
each week, and that much benefit hsd
been derived from them. He stated al
so that many of the boys are going into
the special class to prepare for the inter
national examinations on April 19th.
Frank Bolide was then introduced to
speak on "How We Get 'Em." Frank
explained the work of the membership
committee and its organization, showing
that the purpose of this committee ia not
only to get new members but also to get
them interested in all of the association
activities. Frank is to be commended
on the talk he made. Homer Bush then
spoke on "The Sunday meetings." He
showed that the average attendance at
the menu meeting had been about 30
Anyone who heard Homer cannot doubt
that these meetings, though small, have
been very effective. He spoke of the
religions training and the christian ex
perience it brings to a fellow who takes
part and said: "It makes Christ more
of a personal Saviour." Is'nt that worth
while? Mr. Kienzel and Mr. Putnam
then made brief remarks after which the
toastmaster asked Rev Dibble to offer n
word of prayer. Every one of the boys
did surprisingly well and the gathering
was an "eye opener" to some of the par
ents. There were about 90 in attendance.

After an illness of two weeks with
typhoid pneumonia. Jack Weetbrook
died at bis home, on west Seventeenth
street, last Friday evening. Mr. West
brook was born at St. Edward October
' 1884. He came to CuIuiuIiub several
years ago and for a while was employed
with a Union Pacific bridge gang. On
December 18, 1907. he was united in
marriage to Miss Msry Meeks. who sur
vives him. One brother, H. W. West
brook, who is employed as baggageman
at the Union Pacific, also resides in this
city. He was- taken to St. Edward Sat
urday afternoon, and funeral services
were held Sunday at the Methodist
cburcb, being conducted by the pastor,
and burial was in the St. Kdwanl cem
etery. For the present there will lie nothing
done toward providing more room or
building a new courthouse, at least that
was the result of the meetings called for
that purpose at the court house last
Wednesday. ' The taking out of the
Platte river bridge, which is of much im
portance, called for aid from the super
visors, and tbey allowed $5,000 for that
purpose, and in view of this the court
house proposition will rest for the pre
sent. However, the meeting developed
the fact that the board will sooner or
later call for a bond issue of approxim
ately$100,000, to build a new and modern
structure on the present site.

Wednesday morning the old Union
Pacific freight depot, which was moved
to the west end of the yards and ia bow
used as a store house, was set on fire by
sparks from the engine pulling No. 11,
the Denver train. The blaze also
caught in the grass and rubbish and set
fire to some piling near thebranoh track.
For awhile it looked as though the
building would be burned to the ground
but the department succeeded in getting
it under control, notwithstanding the
great distance from any fire hydrant.
TI)e Union Pacific have been very for
tunate in the matter of fires in this city,
but for their own protection they should
arrange for dydrants convenient for the
city department, as the long delay on
account of distance may result in a heavy
loss to them.
Monday evening the republican city
convention was held in the Firemen's
ball, and a complete ticket named. Carl
Kramer president and Frank Schram
secretary. The first business was the
selection of a member of the school
board, and the present incumbent. Dr.
EL II. Naumann, whose term expires, waa
renominated. Representatives from
the four wards were then requested to
select their candidates for the council,
and the following were selected aad
nominated: First ward, OttoKummer;
Second ward, Isaac Brock; Third ward,
Gus G. Hecber. jr . Fourth ward, F. S.
Davis. After the nominations were
made the following city central com
mittee was then named: First ward. G.
Friscbbolz; Second ward, Fred Lanz;
Third ward, R. G. Strother; Fourth ward.
Frank Scbrnm. Frank Schram waa
elected chairman of the city committee.
Tuesday evening the meeting of the
stockholders of the Columbus base ball
club finished up all the business that
will probably come before that body
during the bane ball season. In the
selection of a ground, the present one in
the southwest part of town, was decided
on. Thero will have to be considerable
work done on it so that there will be no
delay in the games, und very likely ad
ditional bleachers und grand stand will
be built. Manuger Dulan is getting in
touch with quite a number of men who
desire to join the Columbus team, but as
yet no contracts have been signed. Dur
ing the trying out period for the players
quite a number of games will be played,
and admission will be charged to some
of them. If present plans carry out,
Columbus may have an opportunity to
see one or more of th- Western lea
gue teams on the borne grounds, ss it is
quite likely that Omaha and perhaps
Lincoln may be secured to play one or
more of their practice games in this city
It is the desire of the management of
the club to give the season a good seed
off here, and as Columbus is scheduled
for a game to open the season, they are
arranging for a half holiday on that day,
and also run excursions from the branch
es and main line.
