So far there has been no foot ball
game scheduled for Thanksgiving with
the Columbus High school team, al
though Wood River has asked for a
game on that date. Probably during
thu coming week one will be announced
for Thanksgiving. Last Saturday there
were two games played by the Colum
bus High school teams, one at Norfolk,
resulting in a score of 0 to 0, and it is
reported that this was the fastest game
ever played in the Sugar city. The other
game, with Shelby, was played in this
city, on the local grounds, and resulted
in an overwhelming defeat for Colum
bus. The home boys did not like the
way Shelby handled their part of the
game, as they claim tbey brought over
some larger players that were not eligi
ble, and in this way outclassed the
High school boys.
The campaign just closed will be remem
bered as one of the hardest fought for a
number of years. Columbus has been
the headquarters of the democratic state
committee, with State Chairman J. C.
Byrnes and Vice Chairman C. M. Gruen
therin charge. And in this city, the
charge against G. M. Hitchcock were
first published and the Telegran has
kept up the fight during the entire cam
paign. The local situation became in
teresting when the fight on August
Wagner, democratic candidate for coun
ty attorney, developed Many in bis
own party were against Wagner, and the
finish was a circular gotten out attack
ing Editor Harms of the Biene. This
was promptly answered by Harms so the
voters would have an opportunity to get
both sides in the controversy.
Now that a permanent bridge has been
constructed across the Platte, the next
step to be taken is the improving of the
roads between the city and the Platte
bridge, south of the Platte bridge in
both Butler and Polk counties, the roads
arc good, but when the Platte is crossed
there comes a heavy pull through the
deep sand nntil the city is reached. In
this stretch there are some fairly good
portions of the road, but a systematic
improvement in this locality would in a
few years make a road that it would be
n pleasure to drive over. And it would
naturally bring more people to Colum
bus, as the last mile or so of the heavy
pull through the sand, especially, when
the weather is dry, it is not relished by
those who have to make the trio.
A fire escape has been ordered for the
High school building, which will be at- ,
tached to the building at the window in
the Domestic science room on the third
floor. Lights, either gas or electric,
will be placed in the halls of the Second
ward building, for use in case they arc
needed. At their last meeting the board
decided to dismiss school on November
22, 21 and 25, which includes Thanksgiv
ing, to afford the teachers an opportuni
ty to attend the state teachers' meet
ing, but as only a few are contemplat
ing attending the board rescinded its
former action and will only have
the rooms dismissed Wednesday of that
week, whose teachers are going to at
tend the state meeting.
Last week, on complaint filed by Aug
ust Harms, Buck Laughlin, John Doe,
W. E. Johnson, JBke Trimpi and M.C.
Mulich were arrested and charged with
fighting and disturbing the peace. They
had their hearing before Police Judge
O'Brien on Wednesday, and after hear
ing n large number of witnesses Mulich
and Laughlin were assessed $3 and costs
each and the complaints against the
others dismissed. The testimony of the
ten year old son of C. O. Jones had
much to do with the conviction of the
two men. During the trouble one of the
large plate glass windows in the Harms
building was broken, but as it was fully
insured Mr. Harms will have his loss
replaced.
Last Thursday morning at seven
o'clock. Win. Foley of Platte Center and
Mies Margaret Dineen of Oconee were
married at St. Bonaventura's church.
The wedding was a quiet one, and after
the ceremony a wedding breakfast was
served by Mrs. P. W. Bruggeman, a sis
ter of the bride, only a few of the rela
tives of the couple being present. Mr.
Foley is a resident of Platte Center and
the bride is a daughter of Mr and Mrs.
J. C. Dineen, of east of Oconee.
Fire drills are being held in the vari
ous school buildings in the city during
the present month, these being the
annual drills that are held each fall
during the month of November. In
school buildings as large as those in this
city, the fire drill would save many lives
in case they were compelled to use it,
and the present system provides for the
pupils leaving the rooms as quickly as
possible should the occasion arise for
using the drill.
. For the last few years there has been
need of an ambulance in this city, es
pecially for use in transferring patients
to the hospital, and to meet this need
Henry Gaes last week purchased an up
to date and modern ambulance. It has
a closed body and is the same style of
vehicle need in the cities. Mr. Gass will
use it in connection with his business,
and they have arranged to answer prom
ptly all calls for it.

A. C. Boone returned the first of -the
week from Pittsburg, Kansas, where he
went to look after a foundry outfit that
he and his brother had bargained for.
When he arrived there he discovered
that other parties had secured the plant
ahead of him. However, he hss not
given np the idea of starting a foundry
in this city, and his brother went to
Joplin, Mo., to look at a plant suitable
for this location. They have several
other propositions nnder consideration,
and will no doubt secure one that will
suit their purpose in the near future.
One of the best pleased men over elec
tion, so far as bis work is concerned, is
George Fairchild. For the last eighteen
months George has been an employee
under State Auditor Silas A. Barton,
and during the lost few weeks has been
doing what missionary work he could
for the auditor. His energies were de
voted principally to Columbus;' and im
mediate locality, and the large vote re
ceived by Mr. Barton is in a large mea
sure due to George's energies, as his
friends wauted to show how he stood at
home.

Sevea of the representative farmers
living in the vicinity of Columbus have
organized the Columbus Grain Growers'
association, the object being to promote
the raising of an improved quality of
grain. Those taking the lead in this
enterprise are D. G. Bartels, U. a Mace,
Wm. Newman, George Drinnin, Craig

bow on Friday and Saturday, Decern
ber 16 and 17, and tbey invite every
farmer in the surrounding territory to
bring samples of all kinds of corn raised
by them and place it on exhibition at
the show. And in furthering this idea
the merchants of the city have contribu
ted premiams for the best samples ex
hibited. It is planned to have this
how held in advance of the holidays
and it will take the place of the farmers
institute, whiob has been taken away
from Columbus thu year. In piomoting
the corn show these farmers are of the
opinion that they will have something
that will be of more real benefit than the
institute, and at the same time pro
vide an opportunity for all the farmers
to see and discuss what kinds of corn
are beat adapted to the Platte county
soil. At first it was thought advisable
to make the show include all kinds of
grain raised in this section, bat owing
to the late st art on the project this was
found impossible, as many of the farm
ers had not saved a sample of their
small grain, which in many cases would
have made a creditable showing. Be
tween now and the date of the show
there will be considerable said tegarding
it, and the promoters ask for the co-op
eration of every farmer in the locality in
order to make the first year a success.

McElfresh Elected County Attorney.
While it was generally conceded that
C. N. McElfresh, republican candidate
for county attorney, bad a more than
even chance to defeat his democratic op
ponent, August Wagner, no one anticipa
ted the result on this contest. Wagner
carried but one township in the county
Humphrey and that by only one vote.
his republican opponent getting a maj
ority in each of the remaining twenty
two voting places, and his majority is
over 500 and may reach 1,000. This part
of the fight was the hottest and more
effort was put on this portion of the
ticket than all the rest. Even the First
ward, the democratic strong hold, went
for McElfresh by a good big majority.
On the atate ticket Dahlman carried
the county by approximately 700, about
one-half of the Sballenberger vote of
two years ago, and while he ran well in
the city, he ran behind even here on the
result of two years ago. Some of the
country precincts gave Aldrich a much
larger vote than was anticipated, he
carrying a number of the democratic
strongholds.
Hitchcock, on . the other band, ran
about 300 ahead of Dablman, his major
ity being over 1,000, which is big for
this county, in an off year. This result
maybe attributed to the efforts of the
local democratic committee to discredit
the fight waged on Hitchcock by the
Telegram.
Both Edwin Hoareand Frank Schram
are defeated for the legislature, and
while Schram, who is also running in
Nance county, will get a majority there,
it will .not be large enough to overcome
Regan's Platte county vote.
John Goetz. who has been the demo
cratic member on the county board from
district No. 1, for four or five terms, was
defeated by Fred Dassenbrock, who
filed as a republican by petition. This
was another of the surprises of the elec
tion, as it was thought that Mr. Goetz
would be returned. At present the vote
on supervisor in district No. 3 is in
doubt, but it is probable that the pres
ent republican incumbent, Chas Peter
son will be returned. Two other mem
bers of the board who were up for re
election, M. E. Clotber and Louis
Schwarz, had no opposition.
Probably never before in the history
of the county was there so many split
tickets, and is thown by the vote on
Hitchcock for United States senator on
the democratic ticket, and McElfresh on
the republican ticket, for county attor
ney, there being a difference of about
two thousand, each receiring approxi
mately a thousand majority.
Unofficial returns for Platte county on
Hitchcock for United Sta'es senator and
Dahlman for governor, give Hitchcock
1,128 majority, and Dahlman 722 major
ity. The City Council.
A delegation of citizens waited on the
council last Friday evening to enter a
complaint regarding the conditions
required by the Columbus Light,
Heat it Power company, of which
tbey were patrons. It. S. Dick
inson, who had some controversy
with the company regarding the rates
charged him under their franchise, was
the speaker. He tendered the company
the amount he claimed tbey should re
ceive under the franchise, ami the out
come was finally a sntt in the district
court, which was sat i led by Mr. Dickin
son. The next raovenn the part of the
company was to sbntoff Mr. Dickinson's
light, and the di bg-ilion waiting on
the council brought the nutter befm
that body. Several of the citizens pn
ent also entered protests, and the cmi .
cil, after hearing the complaints, action
was taken which will no doubt be a
step toward settling the controversy be
tween the light company and their pat
rocs: At regular meeting of the city
council of said city, held November 4,
1910, the following resolution was duly
adopted as of record:
Resolved, That the Columbus Light,
Heat & Power company of the city of
Columbus, Neb., be and are hereby noti
fied to appear before the city council of
Columbus, Nebraska, November 18, 1910
at 8 p. m., and explain why they violate
Section 10 of a franchise granted tbem,
in regard to making a demand service,
and why the city council should not de
clare their franchise annulled according
to Section 14 of said franchise, as de
manded by the citizens and consumers
of the city of Columbus, Neb.
A copy of this resolution waa served
on Mr. McOullougb. resident manager
of the Columbus Light, Heat & Power
company, on Monday, November 7, and
it is quite probable that the next meet
ing of the city council, November 18,
the time fixed for the hearing, will be
interesting.
Another chapter in the light controver
sy was written when Attorney McAllis
ter filed suit in the district court, Tues
day of this week, to secure a mandamus
to compel the company to furnish light
for Mr. Dickinson.
The regular monthly bills were allow

Congregational Church.
The unity of the family is one of the
sweetest realities. God's plan is that
the home may be one in the great bles
sings of earth. This is beautifully re
flected is his call of Noah's family into
the ark, in Jesus sending the healed man
home to tell the glad story of bis friends
and in Paul's promise that the family of
tEe jailor should be saved through his
belief in Jesus Christ. It is grand to
see the interest parents manifest in the
comforts of their children but it is sad
that these very parents show little, or
even no, interest in the spiritual life of
their loved ones. The wife and children
of ten struggle on in the christian life
without the help and sympathy of father
or husband . Let us not break tLe unity
of the family. Let what God has joined
together be a unit. Parents, bring all
the family into the ark.
