Filea of the Journal, December 12, 1877.
On the streets last "Sunday evening
there were ten wagon loads of slaughter
ed hogs. Surely the people here can
now have sausage, buckwheat cakes and
gravy.
Windmills are becoming very numer
ous on Nebraska prairies and no man

chase of one of these great labor saving
machines.

winter set in, in earnest.
People sometimes say that the roads
are bad; it is only a comparative term
and means about one-hundredth part of
what the same word signifies in less
favored states east of us. Compared
with them our roads are always "good."
Two new school houses are being put
up, one each in Humphrey and Walker

To say that the audience that greeted
Miss Hedwig Jaeggi, violinist and Miss
G wendolyn Garlow, vocal soloist, at the
opera house in Silver Greek last Wednes
day was delighted with the performance
would be patting the case very mildly.
The young ladies more than fulfilled the
expectations of their friends and auditors
in their efforts. Mies Jaeggi showed
herself to be a skilled performer on the
violin, winning encore after encore from
the hearers by the performances on the
sweet instrument of music, proving that
she is considerably more than an ama
ture in her work. Miss Garlow has a
sweet voice of wonderful power and com
pass and its training nears perfection.
She was recalled repeatedly also. Maur
ice Fontein, of Fontein Bros, piano
manufacturers of Columbus, Nehr., was
present with one of the firms beautiful
combined pianoB and player pianos rend
ering several beautiful selections on the
instrument which were especially pleas
ing to the audience. Mesdames Jaeggi
and Garlow, mothers of the two young
ladies who gave the concert, accompan
ied them on the piano in a highly pleas
ing manner. May they come Bgain.
Silver Creek Sand.
Routine business occupied considera
ble time of the first monthly meeting of
the city council. Charles Dack and
Wood Smith each requested permission
to put up electric signs, and George A.
Scott asked for a building permit for the
residence he is now erecting, and all
three requests were referred to the com
mittee on streets and grades The
committee, to whom the report of water
commissioner McCaffrey bad been refer
red, recommended that the same be
accepted, and also made a further recom
mendation that the school buildings in
the city be placed on a Hat rate of ten
cents per thousand gallons. The com
plaint of Fred L. Baker, regarding the
telephone wires in front of the Baker
residence, was reported by the committee
with the information that the telephone
company would remedy the matter in
the spring by taking down the wires and
placing a cable along that street, but
that the weather prevented this being
done sooner. An electric light will be
placed at the corner of Twelfth and
Jackson streets, the request of P. F.
Miller and twelve others for this having
been granted by the council.
Besides completing the settlement
with the insurance companies for the
loss occasioned by the High school fire,
at their meeting Monday evening, the
board of education fixed the time for the
holiday vacation at from Friday, Decem
ber 215, 1910. to January 9, 1911, making
two weeks. Thoso teachers who did not
attend the state teachers' meeting at
Lincoln were granted one days' leave of
absence to visit other schools instead of
the vacation they did not take. A num
ber of bills were allowed and routine
business transacted. Superintendent
Campbell reported that the attendance
in the grades, especially between the
Sixth and Seventh, was between seventy
and eighty more than at this time last
year, resulting in these rooms being very
crowded. It is almost imperative that
another room be added, but the board
connot do anything to relieve this con
dition until the close of present school
work.

Mrs. J. J. Mackin of Platte Center
died last Thursday evening at St.
Mary's hospital, her ailment being
malignant cancer. A few days before
her death she submitted to an operation,
with the hope of prolonging her life.
Mrs. Mackin, whose maiden name was
Louise Parkinson, was born in Illinois
May 6, 1853. She came with the family,
who were early settlers in Nebraska, to
the old home on Shell Creek, and later
was married to J. J. Mackin, now de
ceased. One son, Edward Mackin of

Sheriff Lacbnit, Deputy Sheriff Burke,
assisted by Ex-Sheriff Byrnes and others
are making great preparations for the
entertainment of the state convention of
Nebraska sheriffs to be held in this
city Thursday and Friday, December 15
and 1G. When the convention at Kear
ney voted to come to this city.a year
ago, several other towns were not con
sidered, as the majority of the delegates
gave their reason for wanting to come to
Columbus, siying they had beard of the
reputation of this city for entertaining,
and they wanted a su bstantial evidence
of it. And those who have charge of the
convention and entertainment are going
to see to it that the city will make good.
Columbus lodge. Knights of Columbus
elected the following officers for the

nel; Anton Lachnir. outside sentinel.
Last Friday Frank Mills and Steve
Caffrey were before Judge Ratterman
for trespassing on the Gottschalk farm,
occupied by D. L Martley, who filed the
complaint. It seems that last Sunday
the boys were on the land farmed by
Martley and that he ordered them off,
and they showed fight Martley then
confiscated the guns and later filed a
complaint in county court. At the hearing
the judge assessed a fine and costs
amounting to $3.60 each, which they
paid.
Advices from Wasbinglon in the dai
lies stated that when Judge I. L. Albert
of this city and Attorney General Mullen
arrived in Washington last week to argue
the bank guaranty law before the sup
reme court, they had no standing before
the highest tribunal of the country.
However, they were admitted to practice
and will probably remain at the capital
until the case is called.
Sheriff Sammonsof Kearney was in
the city last week in connection with
some matters in which Henry Ripp and
a Buffalo county bank were interested.
It seems that Ripp owed the bank some
money, and the Sheriff endeavored to

not need to return to Kearney. He fail
to do so. however, and Mr. Ripp return
ed to Kearney with him.

High School Building; Threatened
With Destruction.
Last Thursday, just after the pupils,
had been dismissed from the High
school building, smoke and flames be
gan to pour out of the belfry of the
building, and in a few minutes the en
tire top of the roof was on fire. Before
the firemen reached the scene the flames
bad a good start, bat they were able to
reach it from both sides of the toof, and
it was soon under control.
The fire originated Bear the domestic
science room, and was caused by a cross
ed electric light wire. At first it wss
attributed to other causes, but an
examination showed this to be the cause
School was dismissed for the day and
later the board of education held a meet
ing to consider what course to pursue.
The insurance adjusters were notified at
once, and temporary repairs made to
prevent further damage from the ele
ments. Owing to the fact that there
was very little wind the blaza was con
trolled by the use of a minimum amount
of water, but nevertheless the damage
from water is much greater than from
the fire itself. The main damages, be
sides that portion of the roof that will
have to be rebuilt, is in the several
rooms below the fire. Besides the
plastering which will have to be replaced,
the steel ceiling and wood work will need
repainting, and the floors were consider
ably damaged by water. Estimates
place the loss at about $5,000, complete,
which will no doubt cover it. Seventeen
hundred dollars insurance was carried on
the furniture and books, and the loss on
this will not reach that amount.
There were three hundred and fifty
pupils in the building prior to the fire,
but as they had just been dismissed
there was no opportunity for testing the
efficiency of the fire drills which have
recently bten conducted in accordance
with the requirements of the state.
School was resumed Monday of this
week in all the rooms except the High
school, this room was opened Tuesday,
the insurance adjusters having arrived
so the work of clearing this room up
could be commenced Monday.
Monday of this week the adjuster rep
resenting the various companies hold
ing the insurance on the High school
building arrived in the city, and togeth
er with the board of education spent the
day in adjusting the loss. After a care
ful estimate of the damages the amount
agreed on was $4,360 09 on the building
and S5O&50 on the furniture and fixture,
making a total of S4.862.59
Since the fire temporary repairs have
been made on the roof so that the u'ld
ing can be used until spring. In the
meantime the board is considering some
changes in the building when permanent
repairs are made One of the proposi
tions under consideration is the adding
of another story to the building by do
ing away with the present heavy roof
and substituting a flat roof. A careful
examination of the walls will be made to
ascertain whether they will carry the
additional weight of the third story. As
more room is needed at present this will
solve the problem for some time should
the addition of another story found to
be feasible. For the present, and in
fact until the close of the school year,
nothing more will be done toward re
pairing the bnilding, hut the plans de
cided on will be carried oat as soon as
the schools are disu.ised for tlin sum
mer vacation.
