Perhaps Nebraska never before raised so good h crop of small grain. Doubtless she never raised so much. The amount for bale will simply be immense. iMany farmers are preparing to put up an abuudance of hu and are going at it early. Hay is nearly always a good price in the spring enough to pay well for the time and labor. The 'hoppers were on the wing Thurs day. Their direction was northwest. Few came down, and the number that did land on terra flrma were tired and did not seeni disposed to engaged in "grazing." Q. W. Steveus caught on last Wednes day the wild cat that has been killing and carrying away his chickens for some time past. He was a savage looking animal, and in size fully up to the one ezibited by Montgomery Queen. Messrs.

KAVANAUGH During the lost few montuB two of the sewer companies of this city have been threatened with serious trouble with the outlet of their sewers, where they empty into the river. When these sewers were first constructed the channel of the river was near the north bank and afforded ample water to carry away whatever the sewer emptied, but of late the channel has been moving toward the south side until nil the water available for the two companies is the stream from what is known as the Black ice house pond. This would be sufficient were it not for the fact that people have been using the river at and above the sewer outlets for a dumping ground, and this has, besides stopping what stream there was, pushed the river channel further south. The stoppage became so serious that the companies interested took the matter up, and are now opening the channel so that a stream of water can run from the pond to the river to provide an outlet for the sewers. While the sewer people have been looking after their properties, and employed a watchman, that has been of no avail and the dumping practice still continues. In order to further prevent a repetition of the present condition re garding the dumping, those interested in the sewer companies appeared before the council last Friday night and asked that all streets near the sewer outlet be closed at the river to prevent people from driving there with refuse, and the council appointed a committee to in vestigate the matter. The very slight fall of all the sewers makes it imperative that there shall he no obstruction at the outlet, as it takes very little in this line to make serious trouble. As a result of inflrmities, due to old age. James Davis passed away Sunday evening at the home of his daughter, Mrs. O. C. Shannon, at Sixth and Gra ver etreets. Mr. Davis, who had been in poor health for some time, has been gradually growing weaker since the death of his wife in May. James Davis was born near Oswego, N. Y., Jane 20, 132.1. Here he grew to manhood and in 1850 married Miss Hannah Alston, who died in May this year. After leaving his native state Mr. Davis located in Wisconsin in 1864, and made that state his home until 1873, when with his fam ily became to Platte county and took up a homestead in Sherman township. He continued to reside there until 1903, when he and bis wife moved to this city. Some time ago Mr. Davis eyesight failed, and for a time was helpless. Three children survive him, Fred E. Davis of Creston and George Davis and Mrs. O. C. Shannon of thiB oily. Funer al services were held at the home of his daughter Tuesday afternoon, being con ducted by Rev. W. L. Dibble of the Congregational church, and he was laid to rast beside his wife in the Columbus cemetery. Among those from out of town who attended the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. Fred . Davis and Walter Davis of Creston, Clarence Devinney and Mrs. Esther Heck and Mrs. Ida Cutis of Palmer. Nebraska. Sunduy was Eagles day in Columbus or rather at Stevens' grove, two and one half miles west of the city. Besides the members of the local aerie, many Eagles from out in the state, besides a large number of local visitors, were in attend ance at the state picnic. The weather was all that could be desired and the program of entertainment provided consisted of a tug of war between North Bend and Columbus, base ball game between Fremont and Columbus, and the shoot between Grand Island and Columbus. All these contests were won by the Columbus teams, they carrying off the trophies otTered. The ball game, which was quite interesting, was won by the locals, the score being '! to 1 lie sides the contests the bowling alley furnished amusement for many and in the afternoon and evening the large dancing platform was well tilled, the music being furnished by the Eagles or chestra of this city. So well arranged was the picnic that not a single incident marred the enjoyment of the day, altho ugh there were many visitors in the city, a special having been run from Spalding for the ball game and picnic. Sometime ago the statement was made that should Columbus build sufficient additional sidewalk, an additional city carrier would be granted by Uncle Sam Those interested in free city delivery have taken hold of this matter, judging from the amount of new walks built, and now that this has been done, a new map of the city showing these improvements, has been made, and will be forwarded to Washington for action by the depart ment. There is every prospect of favor able action on this request, and the new carrier will be substitute carrier Jackson, who is first in line for promo tion. When the new change is made, all the present routes will be changed slightly in order to make room for the new route. One of the shortest meetings of the city council, for the tiret meeting in the month, was that of last Friday evening. Outside of the routine business and al lowing bills, the council accepted the report of City Attorney Louis Lightner, who had disposed of the Platte river bridge bonds. The transaction netted the city S2T1,000. the remainder of the amount being required as a bonus for the purchase of the bonds.

Tuesday of this week parties from Monroe Gled a complaint in Police Judge O'Brien's court, charging Wesley Mc- Neeley of that village with disorderly conduct. It seems that Sunday evening McNeeley, accompanied by a younger boy, followed two girls home from church and when the girls declined the com pany of the boys, they were insulted and had their clothes torn by the boys. It seems as though this is not the first of fense for McNeeley, and as he does not bear a very good reputation, no doubt there will be something done at the hearing Wednesday afternoon. The police judge issued a warrant, which was placed in the hands of Sheriff Lacbnit. On The Diamond. Columbus still continues to play good ball and is climbing toward the top of the percentage column. But there seems to be' one team that Columhu cannot win from, and that is Grand Is land. Last Wednesday and Thursday's games were with that club, and the vis itors took both of them. But when it comes to the leaders, the Fremont team, Columbus wins almost every time. Thursday and Friday of last week at Fremont that team lost three straight games to Colnmbns, the second day, Fiiday, being a double head er. When the boys arrived home that evening, enroute to Seward, they were met at the depot by tbeCity Band and a large crowd of people and given a rous ing welcome. This incident no doubt made the boys feel good and it also shows that Columbus, whioh is consid ered one of the best ball towns in the state league, appreciate good playing by the team. Saturday Columbus played a double header at Seward, breaking even by wining one and losing one. and Sunday the transferred game with Seward was played in this city. The Seward team played good ball until their pitcher, weakened, allowing eight runs in one in ning, and then they become discouraged. A large crowd from the branches, and those who were attending the Eagle pic nic, attended the game, which was called at 1:30. Monday Columbus played at Grand Island, and again lost to the Islanders, being shut out while the other team scored seven times. Columbus defeated Grand Island on their grounds in Tuesday's game, the score being 4 to 1 in favor of Columbus. Kissel), who pitched for Columbus, evi dently broke the hoodoo, as this is the first time Columbus has been able to win from Grand Island on their home diamond. Wednesday and Thursday Columbn plays at lied Cloud, where Joe Dolan is now managing that team. With the present game that Columbus is putting up, they ought to have no trouble in keeping up their winning streak, and they now are in third place with every prospect of going higher.

A., and at present is physical director of the boys' department of the St. Paul Y. M. C. A. Every one hail a good time at the V. M. C. A. picnic lost Thursday afternoon and evening at Steven's grove. In the afternoon there was a very exciting base ball game in which such veterans as Charlie Dickey, Henry Uockenberger, Superintendent Lecron and A. L Koon crossed bats along with their sons and daughters. The Noah's Ark Camp pre pared supper for the Band which ar rived on the grounds about 7 o'clock and many thought the band concert which followed was the best our band has ever given Perhaps this was because the music resounded freely through the trees and clear atmosphere of the country. Some returned early in the evening while others enjoyed the whole evening at the grove. Ball Game at McAllister's Lake. Sunday afternoon a crowd of boys from Columbus went ont to McAllister's lake to play base ball against tbe Moon shiners who are camping there. The game was a very interesting one. tbe score being 2 to 1 in favor of the Moon shiners. The feature of the game was Harry Hegel's home run in the eleventh inning, winning the game.
