We are reliably informed that an or dinance will he introduced at the next meeting of the city council providing for the punishment of disorderly con duct and disturbances or peace, the old town ordinance under which our author ities have been obliged to do their work, not being applicable to the government u' a city of the hecond class. A private letter from George McNaiu ara at Silver Creek. Black Hills, gives a thrilling account of u light with Ihdians, who attacked him and a party of five others while engaged in their mines near that place, and drove them into camp, where they succeeded in diapering the reds with no low-, of life to their party. The IndianB numbered two to one Three emigrant wagons from Dickin son county, Iowa, passed through the city Saturday, bound for Kansas. In conversation with one of the party we are told that the part of Iowa from which they came had been cleaned out by 'hoppers hatched there tins spring, and he had concluded that the state was no more safe from the ravages of these peBts than Nebraska or Kansas, aud in the latter stock could be raised and fattened on grasses, which the "hoppeis did not molest. The improvements that our city has this seasoti made in the way of new side walks epeaks well for its citizens and city government. Nothing in the up pearance of a city or town will more strongly impress a new comer and stran ger than the condition of its sidewalke, which is. undoubtedly, as relating to en terprise, a pretty good inde to the com munity which they should accomodate. For this reason, as well as for the gen eral comfort which they bestow, we are pleased to be able to say that we believe Columbus to be on a par with any city of its size in the state in the matter of good walks. Special Trains for Albion Chautauqua Sundays. August 7 and 14.

Campbell of West Point, and a former teacher in the Columbus schools, was elected superintendent for the coming year at the regular meeting of the board of education Monday even ing. Prof. Campbell succeeds Superin tendent Conn, who becomes the bead of the Wayne normal. Another resigna tion was before the board, that of Prof. I. II. Britell, who takes the department of physical science at the Wayne normal to which position he was elected by the state board last week. Prof. Britell was also an applicant for the snperin tendency of the Columbus schools, and in view of his record here, stood a very good chance of being selected, but with his resignation he also withdrew this ap plication. After the fact of Prof, Bri tell's appointment to Wayne became known, the board received an application for the position, but have not as yet, considered it. There is also one other vacancy to fill, that of the position held by Mrs. Conn, who oIro resigned when Mr. Oonn received the normal appoint ment. Action will no doubt be taken to till these two vacancies in the near fut ure, aud the board adjourned to meet at the call of the president, should they de sire to take any action. Wednesday at high noon there was n pretty home wedding at the residence of F. W. Farrand, at Seventeenth and Platte streets, when their daughter Hthel was united in marriage to Clarence C.

The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Farrand and has been a resident of the city for a number of years, and attended the city schools with the groom. Among those who were present from out of town were Mr. and and Mrs. L. A. DeVoe and Miss Margar et Welpton of Ogallala. Mrs. Will Far rand of Koskia. Idaho, and Mrs. Silas Carver of Grant, Neb.

An almost fatal accident occiured at the home of Forest Butler, four miles west of Monroe, last Thursday afternoon, Fred Kay of London, Eng., being the victim. Ray, who has been m this country a short time, was working for Mr. Butler and at this time was driving a team hitched to a load of hay. Some thing went wrong, and before any of them could reach him the team tipped the load of hay over, and when they reached Kay he was lying unconscious under the load, lie was given medical treatment, but failed to regain consci ousness, and Friday was brought to St. Mary's hospital. For several days he did not seem to make any improvement, hut at present he is slowly regaining consciousness and there is every pros pect for his recovery. .Inst how the accident happened, no one knows, though it is probable that he lost con trol of the team . Nineteen years in the various positions in the Columbus schools, with the last twelve as principal of the high school, is the record of Prof. I. H. Britell of this city, who presented his resignation to the board Monday evening, in order to take charge of the department of physi cal science iu the new Wayiie normal. Prof. Britell has served the schools of this city faithfully and well during the time he has been here, aud both the patrons and board of education, while they regret to see him go, congratulate him on his advancement to n better and what will no doubt prove a permanent position. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week the board of supervisors held u short session, Monday and Wednesday being devoted to routine business and Tuesday they sat as a board of equaliza tion to lis the levy for the coming year. Nearly all the work on the levy was com pleted and agreement as to what it would be, reached, but the final action will be delayed until August 2.'J as the state board of equalization had not completed their work and forwarded a report. Tuesday morning workmen made an other try at putting in the telegraph cable at the Union Pacific depot. When the new building was put up provision was made for taking the telegraph wires under the track instead of overhead, and a pipe laid for that purpose. But when the cable arrived it was too large, and since that time there have been sev eral gangs here to do the work, but nothing has so far been accomplished. Local Eagles are well pleased over the prospect for the state picnic to be held next Sunday. Already responses have been received from many other aeries and individual members indicating their intention of being here, and in addition to the attractions at the picnic grounds, the state base ball league has trans ferred the Columbus-Seward Sunday game to this city.

Several of the farmers shipped bogs Tuesday, among whom were Herman Knnneman, D. Brunken, John Brunken and Fred Goedeken. Beginning with a week ago the aatomo. bile for carrying mail on route No 3 will be permanent. After a thorough trial, it proved very satisfactory, and now that the carrier has adopted a new schedule, arriving nt the post office on the return trip ut noon, the patrons are well pleaaed with the new order of things. One of he drawbacks is that the carrier, under the new schedule, does not get to see aa many of the patrons aa formerly, and consequently the items on the route will be limited for a time. Another advant age to the carrier is that he gets a half day at home that was formerly spent in covering the route.
