II. 11. Ames, the mail carrier between
Columbus and Stromsburg, has not mis
sed u day or a mail since April 1, and it
has ruined on iifty-three successive days
during that time, besides the rain that
fell at odd intervals of which he makes
no particular mention.
While thousands of women and girls
in the eaBt are out of employment or are
eking out a precarious livelihood at
low wages when they can find anything
at all to do, tens of thousands could find
employment as house servants, nt good
wages almost anywhere in the west.
That sort of labor is comparatively well
paid.
On Wednesday lost the railroad was
completed to David City and on Thurs
day telegraphic communication was
established with the re-tt of the civilized
world. People are excusable for desir
ing to be convenient to a railroad station
and telegraph office . This brings them
better markets, settles up the waste
places, makes land valuable, makes
schools and churches more numerous,
and a thousand things that might le
mentioned. For some months past
David City has felt the impetus of the
new .state of affairs, and has bounded
forward at a rapid rate new houses
haying been erected, new businesses en
gaged in, and the whole face of the city
changed. The citizens of Iiutler county
are to be congratulated upon the event.
Now let every farmer between the D. P.
and O. & It. V. make himself an immi
gration agent and help to settle up and
develop the country to its utmost capa
city. Butchers Make a Statement.
We, the undersigned, have noticed in

their meat from ub just as rheap as from

Oscar L. Baker, a resident of this city
for fifty-one years, died Monday morn
ing at hie home, north of Frankfort
park, death being due to an attack of
uremic poisoning. Mr. Baker retired
Sunday evening in his usual health, and
suffered from the attack of uremic pois
oning, which is the second, at 520 a. m.
and remained unconscious until 6:20 a.
m., when he passed away. During the
last few years Mr. Baker has been taken
suddenly eick three different times, the
Grst with the same malady that caused
his death, and in May 1910, he had a
severe attack of stomach trouble, after
which he went to Excelsior Springs and
returned apparently cured. Mr. Baker
was born in Columbus, Ohio, November
21, 1858, and three months later his par
ents moved to this city, which has since
been his home. Here he grew to man
hood and during the greater portion of
his life has been engaged in the livery
nnd ice business. In 1SS0 he was mar
ried to Miss Laura Paynter. and to this
union eight children were born, four of
whom are now living, Wm. Baker of
Denver, Oscar, Fred and Miss Ethel,
who are at home. Mr. Baker was a
member of the A. O. U. V., W. O. W,
M. W. A., Orpheus, and an honorary
member of the Columbus Fire depart
ment. There was probably no one man
in Columbus and this section of Platte
county as well known as Ottie Baker,
and he was a man who numbered his ac
quaintances as his friends. Funeral
services were held this (Wednesday)
afternoon at 2:30 from the Congregation
al church, and conducted by the pas
tor, Rev. W. L. Dibble, "representatives
of the orders of which the deceased was
a member attending in a body.

while serving an enlistment as a nurse
in the army. In 18GG she was married
to John E. Ballon in Vermont and in 1S74

A resolution was before the city coun
cil last Friday evening asking that
blocks 58 and 59 be included in the fire
limit, nnd it was read and referred to
the committee on fire. The residents of
the west portion of the city, in the
Third ward, asked that the council re
quest the Union Pacific to put in a
crossing on Monroe street, about a year
ago. but as there had been no results
from this they renewed the request nnd
asked that the council renew the re
quest to the Union PaciGc through their
local agent. Hereafter those who de
sire to erect buildings in the city of Co
lumbus will be required to secure a per
mit before ieginning operations. At
present the request will be mnde to the
city council, who will take it up at their
first meeting and act on it, and the per
mit will be granted at once. The city
nttorney is preparing a set of blanks for
this and they will soon be ready.

Base Bait
Columbus will have a ball team in the
Nebraska State League next year. In
order to bring this before those interest
ed the board of directors of the Colum
bus club called a citizens meeting last
Friday evening, and the sentiment ex
pressed there was unanimous for a team
next season.
After hearing the sentiment of the
citizens on the base ball question, the
directors arranged for a future meeting
of the board to complete arrangements
for 1911. So far the financial report for
the season has not been made public,
but those who are in a position to know,
say that the showing will be a very cred
itable one, in faet as good as any town
in the league. With a total paid attend
ance of twenty thousand during the
season, the receipts from this soarce
have been good.
The expenses for the coming year will
not be as great as for 1910, the grand
stand and grounds having cost consider
able to begin with. These are in good
condition and all that will be required
will be additional fence on the south
and west.
As soon as the Gaancial statement has
been completed it will be published, and
the stockholders will have astatementof
what has been done during the summer.
Manager Corbett will remain here
during the winter nnd have considerable
to do with the preliminary work of get
ting ready for 1911.
- Y. M. C. A. Notes.
The religious work committee is al
ready at work and plans are laid for a
series of men's meetings with a large
number of out-of-town speakers.
Mr. Whitney, the new Secretary of the
Young Men's Christian Association ia
meeting the different committees as
rapidly sb bo can arrange to do so. He
reports that a good spirit is manifested
and that the prospects for this years
work are very good. This sounds en
couraging for the success of the Asso
ciation work depends not upon the
work that one or two salaried officers
may be able to do but upon the willing
ness and efficiency of the volunteer com
mitteemen. When an Association comes
to depend upon its secretary to do all
the work then it ceases to be an Asso
ciation and becomes an institution.
Last Friday night 250 persons turned
out to enjoy a social occasion at the
building. At the close of tha concert
in the park the band Gled into the build
ing and gave some highly appreciated
selection there. The gathering save
the new men a chance to get acquainted
and bid (Jod speed to Mr. L. P. Putnam

boy's work secretary and has conduct
ed a very successful boy's work, with
an average attendance of sixty boys in
Bible classes. In May be became act
ing general secretary in which office he
oos done efficient service. At the meet
ing Friday evening J. D. Stircs reads
resolution expressing the appreciation of
the board of directors for the work he
has done.
