Axel Nelson nnd his wife have present ed the city council with a claim of $2,261 against the city for injuries sustained by Mrs. Nelson on account of falling od a tlcfective sidewalk, and medical at lentions during the time she was suffer ing from the injuries, and the matter was referred to the city attorney. There were two bids for the construction of cement crossings for the coming year, eubinittod by Jacob Glur and McCord A: Johnson, and the contract was award ed to tho former. The request of the Union Pacific railroad to lay a main across Eleventh street to the power house of the Columbus Light, Heat & Power company, so they could get water from them, was turned down, and the committee reported that a warning had been served on both the railroad and electric light company not to construct the main. The city objects to the rail road company purchasing water from the light company when they are sell ing water, unit would like to supply the the railroad company. It is quite pro bable that nn ordinance will be passed requiring mai a uuiiumg permit uo do cured before the construction of any building be commenced. This will en able the city to exercise a stricter sup ervison over structures built within the tire limit. Dnssell .v. Son were paid the balance on the new wells, $804.11. and the engineer, John Martz, allowed 820 for his servies in accepting them.

After an illness of two months, Mrs. Robert Pinson, wife of Postmaster Pin son of Platte Center, died at her home Monday morning, aged 77 years. Mrs. Pinson was born in Ely, Cambridgeshire, England, December 28, IS!. Here she grew to womanhood and moved to Nor wich and later to Saxlborpe, England, where hhe met her husband, Robert Pin son, and they were married at Norwich, England, September 1865. In 1870 they crossed the ocean and came to America and direct to Platte county, where they took up a homestead in Lost Creek town ship, which has since been their home. In 1S80, when Mr. Pinson was first ap pointed postmaster at Platte Center ' they moved to that town, but again resided on the old homestead for four years. In 1897 they again moved to Platte Center, which has since been their home. Mrs. Pinson was a sister of the late John Eusden of this city. Besides her husband she leaves one daughter. Jennie, wire of Willard Obapin of Walla Walla, Washington, and one son. T. J . E Pinson, who lives on the old home stead m host Greek township. Mrs. Pinson was a member of the Methodist church. The funeral services, which were held Tuesday at the home in Platte Center, were conducted by He v. D. I. Roush of this city, and she was brought here on the Norfolk passenger for burial in the Columbus cemetery. Monday , evening the Nebraska Fish commission car "Antelope" arrived in this city on u trip from Lincoln. The car was in charge of Deputy Fish Com missioner O'Brien and besides the lish distributed between this city and Lin coln, he had '20,000 young bass for dis tribution in this locality, and quite a number for shipment to Fullerton, St. Paul and Rig Springs. Those distribut ed here were allotted under the supervi sion of the Columbus Fish, Game and Protective association, which has done much toward restocking this locality with game and lish. Mr. O'Brien re ceived several encouraging reports re garding the croppie he distributed here several yearn ago, and is of the opinion that these lish will be the most plenti ful game lish in this section. The car will vUit this city again in October, when another lot of spawn and fish will be distributed. Friday evening the city council will hold a special meeting to consider the proposition presented by the Columbus Light, Heat & Power company, and they desire that all the patrons of the light company who are interested attend the meeting. The proposition of the light company is substantially as follows: The highest rate charged shall be four teen cents per killowat. with a ten per cent discount if the bill is paid before the tenth of the month. This rate ap plies to users of leH than fifty Idllowats per month, but on larger quantities a sliding scale will be made, a reduction for each additional fifty killowats used. This proposition has been lefore the council for several weeks and they have been considering it, nnd the Friday night meeting will probably dispiweof it.
