The last lot of fire hose bought by the
city did not come up to the require
ments, and after a thorough test by the
department, the council committee hav
ing this in charge notified the company
that it was unsatisfactory. A man was
sent here to make a test, nnd when this
was done he ordered it returned and
hose that will be up to standard sent in
place of it. The city has bought nearly
all of their fire hose of this concern, and
this is the first time there has been any
complaint.
In speaking of the crops in the vicini
ty of Columbus, a man who has occasion
to make frequent trips into the country
says that with the exception ot the pas
tares and hay lands, all vegetation is do
ing first rate, in spile of the dry weather.
Small grain, which at one time this
spring was considered almost a failure,
and there are a number of fields of oats
that are looking fine. Corn, so far,
does not show any dry weather and is
making a splendid growth. The rains
this year go in streaks, one section of a
few miles getting a good soaking and in
other places not enough to lay the dust.
There is at least one man who is bene
fitting by the lack of moisture this sum
mer, and he is Mail Carrier Brock on
route No. 5. Owing to the fact that the
Platte river bridge waa taken out in the
spring, be was compelled to make his
trip via Duncan, and this required an
extra early start, and a late return, as
the mileage, was almost doubled. But
since the dry weather the Platte river
has kept falling, and now it is so low
that a crossing can be made near the old
bridge in fact, a number of the farmers
are taking advantage of this, too. And
Mr. Brock now starts on bis route as the
regular boar, instead before G a. m.
At the regular meeting of the board of
education last Saturday evening the

require $27,300 for the schools rlone.
82,000 for the sinking fund and 81.000
for interest, making a total of $10,000.
This will make the school levy twenty
mills, three of which will be for the sink
ing fnud and interest. Prof. Vernon
G. Nichols of Joliet, III., was selected
for the manual training department, for
which the board had a number of appli
cations. So far Superintendent Conn,
who is the newly elected principal of the
Wayne Normal, has not as yet advised
the board when he will resign. As the
state board has reached no definite con
clusion regarding the time of opening of
this school, be is awaiting their decision.
The Celebration.
Columbus enjoyed a safe and sane
Fourth, in spite ot the large crowd in
the city. While the time was short, the
committees worked faithfully and hard
and the program was carried oat with
oat a hitch.
The first feature of the program was
the parade and the floats were very cred
itable. One of the features was the
goat driven by Master Julias V. Belford
and also the Shetland ponies of the
Ifland Bros.
The contests for prizes were all well
filled and some good showings were
made. The automobile parade in the
evening attracted much attention, and
one feature especially waa the car driven
by litUe MisaGenevive Branigan, the
youngest driver in the parade, and she
handled her car with the skill of many
of the older drivers, turning the corners
with precision. The day closed with a
display ot fireworks in the evening.

On The Diamond.
Columbus has been on the toboggan
the last week, on account of the pitch
ing force being laid up, but with the
addition of Hamilton, the Indian pitcher,
they are in better condition, and won
Tuesday's game by good playing. Man
ager Dolan and the directors held a
meeting Tuesday and the directors, after
looking over the situation, are in full
accord with the manager and will do
everything in their power to make the
Columbus team a pennant winner. Dur
ing the week Tigbe and Turner, the lat
ter a pitcher, have been released, and
Kelley has been signed in place of the
former and Hamilton takes the place of
the latter. Today and tomorrow Fre
mont plays here and Friday and Satur
day Seward is scheduled for two games.
Columbus now holds seventh piece in the
per centage, but local fans expect that
in the near future they will be nearer
the top of the list.

Y. M. C. A. Notes.
Over thirty have taken advantage of
tbe special summer membership which
is opening tbe way for a good many new
members.
Hon. J. E. Hainer of Lincoln, Nebras
ka, addressed a good audience at tbe
patriotic service under auspices of tbe
Presbyterian church at theY. M. C. A.
last Sunday evening. His subject was
'Practical Citizenship."
The Y.M.O. A. rest rooms on the Fourth
ot July proved to be a great thing for
the large crowd that came to the Colum
bus celebration. Tbe Y. M. C. A. and
especially the ladies rest room, was al
most crowded the whole day. Tbe
boys' play room was transformed into a
ladies' parlor and decorated in patrotic
style, being equipped with tables, easy
chairs, couches and all modern conven
iences. MraFrom very ably superintend
ed tbe ladies' rest rooms and ber servi
ces were very much needed by those
who came in tired and overheated from
tbe streets. It is hard to tell what they
would have done bad it not been fur the
rest rooms at the Y. M. C. A. for it is
estimated that not less than two thous
and people, men, women and children
made use of their privileges.
Card of Thanks.
We wish to extend our heartfelt
thanks to tbe many friends and neigh
bors tor their sympathy and acts of kind
ness in the death of our dear husband

and found bis brother lying on the

ter of a mile east where he resided at
the time of his death. Mr. Rickert
