William IMoedorn informs us that
farmers in his neighborhood are busy
putting in j;rain and that there is un un
mmal amount being put in. This seetua
to he tin- general method this year, and
farmers are not without hope that they
will reach an abundant harvest.
To those who have land in Nebraska
and who ar in debt, we believe we are
justified in Haying: Hold fast to your
land; Have all you can; ra'iBe good crops
and good stock; pay your debts as fast as
possible, keep pegging away for just a
few years longer and you will be all
rmht.
We incidentally learn that some of
the farmers of Madison county have
adopted the practice of sowing their oats
before their wheat, claiming that thereby
they distribute their harvest labor to
better advantage, cutting and stacking
their oats before the wheat is ready for
harvesting.
A draughtsman in the employ of the
Union Pacific was in the city last week
mapping diiTerent localities east and west
of the depot. Various were the surmises
of our citizens- some supposing that the
design was to remove the depot, and
others going so far as to say that the new
depot was to be located west of its pre
sent site, ami immediately south of Ger
inrd's corral.

The following from the Omaha Sunday
World-Herald tells of the good fortune
of a number of Columbus men who hare
invested in Colorado mining properties:
"A find of vanadium, a rare and valuable
ore in an old gold and silver mine near
Boulder, Colorado, is bringing a fortune
to George H. Hicks the real estate dealer
of this city. Dr. Thomas Kelly of South
Omaha. 11. W. Hebson of this city, and
O.T. Uoen, O.O.Shannon, Dr. A. Heintz
and others of Columbus. The mine, the
Magnolia, discovered in 1874, yielded a
fortune on high grade ore up to being
worked out abont 1882. Then it laid
idle until about two years ago, when Mr.
Hicks and his associates secured it and
began working the low grade ores it
contained by the cheap process of reduc
tion then available. They came upon a
green-gray ore here and there, and when
it developed in commercial qualities they
had it assayed and were delighted to
find it was vanadium. There is only one
other place in the United States where
vanadium is found in paying quantities.
It is used to toughen steel and is in as
great demand as tungsten was when first
found, for hardening steel. The vana
dium ore in the Magnolia runB from 4
per cent to C and 28 100 per cent and is
worth from $70 to $280 per ton. The
Magnolia owners are getting letters every
few days from people who want to mar
ket or use vanadium. The mine is eight
miles from Boulder and forty from
Denver."
Edmund, infant son of Mr. and, Mrs.
John Flakus, died last Friday after an

On account of the heavy local traffic
there is some talk of the Union Pacific
adding another local train each way on
the main line. This would relieve the
heavy local traffic on No. 17 and 18, the
Portland trains, and also on No. 7 and 8,
the Ixs Angeles train, which probably
will lie put on again within the next two
months.
Fire starting from gasoline damaged
the German Methodist church Sanday
evening. The janitor was filling the
gasoline tank connected with the plant,
and spilled some of the oil. When he
lighted up the church this was ignited
and burned on the lloor. but the blaze
was put out, at least so far as the floor
was concerned. But unnoticed it con
tinued to burn under the floor, and so
made its way up the building to the
roof, where it bursted out. The depart
ment succeeded in saving the building,
and the damage was small. The fire oc
curred abont 7:30, before the arrival of
the congregation.
The readers of the Sun no doubt re
member Mrs. Ballon that moved from
Schuyler to Lena, McPherson county,
last September with her son James and
her grandson to hold down a homestead.
One day last week she went to town alone
and after she started home must have
had a stroke of paralysis, for when the
team she was driving came into the yard
her son went to the buggy and she was
unconscious and has remained in that
condition ever since. The doctor says
there is very little hopes of her recovery.
James wrote to Mrs. McPherson and
asked her to come and help him care for
her as we all know he is in no condition
to do very much for her. Schuyler Sun.
A happy chance directed Charles B.
Hanford's attention to "The American
Lord" just at a time when he was desir
ous, for the sake of artistic contrast, to
introduce in his repertor a character that
would reflect modern life as vividly as
those of the classic drama portray the
people and customs of centuries gone by.
He was discussing his desire to have a
piece distinctly native in theme and auth
orship with a friend who mentioned
"The American Lord" aa being in the line
of his desire. A description of the play
which had been presented with success
by Wm. H. Crane led Mr. Hanford to
send tor the manuscript, ins own en
gagements not permitting him to see a
performance. It become his ambition to
render this role according to certain
ideas which he entertained of bow the
plain American citizen ought to be rep
resented. A contract placed the play
at Mr. Hanford's disposal and be baa
given it not only close individual study
but every advantage in cast, costuming
and scene equipment. The presentation
of the leading feminine role by Mies
Marie Drofnah is one of the most im
portant features of the performance.
Thursday April 14 is the date of Mr.
Hanford's engagement in "The Ameri
can Lord" at the North opera house.

Property owners and residents of this
city are presenting a petition to the
councd asking the body to request the
Union Pacific to remove the lumber
eheds south of their passenger depot,
and the matter will be brought before
the council Friday evening. The rea
sons set forth in the petition are the
dangerous crossing at both Olive and
North streets and the great danger in
case of fire. In place of the sheds it is
suggested that the compsny park the
ground to improve the appearance of
the locality. There is no question but
that the position of the petitioners is
well taken, as in the first place at these
two crossings there have been more nar
row escapes from aceidente than any
where else in the city limits. The sheds
obstruct the view, and even with two
flagmen it is almost impossible to avoid
being caught by passing trains. As to
the danger from fire from the sheds and
lumber, while there has not been any fire
in the yard, still Columbus cannot al
ways be in luck under present conditions.
The fire at North Bend last week, was
in a lumber yard located so that the
high wind would carry burning lumber
all over the town, and as this yard is lo
cated in the heart of the city, it would
matter little which direction the wind
was from. The request is made the
council and the Union Pacific railroad.
not for the purpose of injuring anyone,
but for the general good of the city, and
the removal of the sheds would be wel
comed by every citizen of Columbus.
Tuesday evening sparks from the loco
motive pulling No. 15, set fire to the
Union Pacific store house, and owing to
the high wind and the headway gained
by the fire, the building and contents
were totally destroyed. Last Wednes
day morning the building was set on fire
by sparks from a locomotive, and by
hard work was saved, but the roof had
not been repaired, and consequently
more of a fire trap than ever. Some
gasoline and dynamite caps were stored
in the building, and when they exploded
the llames were given a fresh Btart. For
a while, with the wind blowing a gale, it
looked as though the department would
not be able to control the fire and keep
it from spreading to the residences north
of it and notwithstanding their efforts
at least a half dozen houses were on fire
at different times, requiring one hose
company and the Hookies to devote their
efforts to them. The homes of Jack and
William Dolan and U. S. Conn were on
fire several times, but the boys succeeded
in preventing any d image to them. A
string of freight cars was standing just
south of the burning building and soon
began to get hot enough to catch fire,
but they were moved further south and
used to break the force of the heavy
wind and prevent the further spread of
the fire. The store house was one of the
old land marks of this city, being the
first Union Pacific depot anil built in
18GG. It was constructed of Cottonwood
principally, and for this reason was slow
to burn, although it had been on fire
many times before when in use as a
depot. Until the passenger depot was
built in the '80's, itwss used as a freight
and passenger depot, and after that time
did service as a freight depot until about
two years ago when the new freight
depot was built, and it was then moved
to the west end of the yard and used for
a store house. Until two years ago,
while located on the original Bite, it
completely blocked Platte street, and
after persistent effort its relocation made
it possible to open that street. Among
the men now prominent in railroad
circles who were boused in the old struc
ture, is W. B. Doddridge, at one time a
prominent official of the Gould system.
For many years, in fact longer than any

occupied the old building.

at the court house Tuesday afternoon,
being called here by County Assessor

o'clock in the evening when he retaras.
