A change in mail routes has recently
benn ordered .by the postal department
that is not highly appreciated in this
community, in fact, all who know any
thing of it, speak in condemnation. The
route from Columbus to Osceola has
been discontinued and the service be
tween David City and Osceola has been
increased to a tn-weekly We are in
formed that an effort Iihh been made by
the eiti.ens of Orreola to have a daily
route established between that place
and Silver Creek, a station west of us on
the U. P. The business relations be
tween Columbus and Osceola have
always been so intimate that we shall be
sorry to see our mail facilities perman
ently disturbed The route by way of
Silver Creek has not been established
and if it were it would not altogether
suit either Osceola or Oolumbus.

J. H. Dodge, the representative of the
good roads section of the department
of agriculture, has made some interest
ing teste in connection with his work in
this locality. The roads be has given his
attention are those between the city and
the Loop river bridge and between the
Loup and Platte river bridge. For the
building of these roads be has two for
mulas of the soil taken from the immedi
ate vicinity, one from the Otto Ernit
farm, west of the Platte river bridge,
which can be mixed in equal portions of
gumbo and sand, and the other from the
C. H. Sheldon farm, south of the Platte
river, which is mixed at a ratio of 65 per
cent sand and 35 per cent gumbo.
Either of these, Mr. Dodge says, is suit
able for the road building, bnt the mater
ial found on the Sheldon farm is slight
ly superior to the other, and with a
change in the proportions to 40 per cent
sand will improve its quality, in the
opinion of Mr. -Dodge. These two
samples are now in the improvised labora
tory in the back room at the Frischholz
store on Eleventh street, where they
will remain until dry. And it is inter
esting to note that the material contain
ing the larger portion of sand dries slow
er than the other, while the larger per
cent of gumbo in the sample with equal
ly divided parts looks darker and richer
A sample taken from a road near Fre
mont, and containing about the 40 and
CO per cent proportions is being exhibit
ed by Mr. Dodge, and is as bard as a
rock. This sample was placed on a fence
post by him during the building of
the road last May, and withstood the
action of the elements nntil thoroughly
dry. In speaking of the cost of the
road Mr. Dodge said that the cost of
grading wonld be small, and the main
expense would be in hauling material.
In order to properly prepare the road the
bed will first have to be graded, and
then covered with gumbo. On top of
this will come the sand and then the sur
face will be plowed, the f nrrows being
narrow. After this a disc will be used
and then a harrow. When the road is
smooth it will be dragged with a road
drag, and if moisture in the form of rain
does not come, other means of soaking it
down will be used. The road drag will
be used until u .smooth, hard surface is
obtained . The government's part of the
road building will be the furnishing of
the services of a civil engineer, and also
the time of Mr. Dodge as superintendent
of construction. It is estimated that
the cost of the road will not exceed
$1,200 per mile. Mr. Dodge has placed
all the facts relative to the construction
of this piece of road into the hands of
the Commercial club, and it is quite pro
bable that in the near future a meeting
will be called to complete arrangements
for co-operating with the government in
building this stretch of road. While
there are a number of government ex
perts in the Geld in this line, Mr. Dodge
expects that be would be sent to super
intend this work, having done all the
preliminary work. With the completion
of the tests of the material found by Mr.
Dodge, his work in this locality is com
pleted, and he is here awaiting instruc
tions to proceed elsewhere.
Joseph J. Dodds, aged thirty-nine
years, died Thursday, December 22, at
his home in Cambridge, 'Neb , death be
ing due to an attack of appendicitis. Mr.
Dodds was born in Butler, Pa., Decem
ber 19, 1871. He came to this locality
with his parents and made it his home
until about five years ago, when he mov
ed to Cambridge. He was the son of
Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Dodds of ColumbuB
township, and before leaving this locality
he taught school for a number of years,
and later was employed by L. F. Phillipps
in the store. On May 24, 1899, he was
married at Genoa to Miss Bowena
Phillipps, who with three daughters,
Lucile, Marie and Helen, survive him.
Mr. Dodds was quite prominent in lo
cal affairs at Cambridge, and at the
time of his death was mayor of that
town. Out of respect for the deceased
all the stores in that town closed during
the short fnneral services which were
held before his body was sent to this
city, where funeral services were held
Sunday at 3:20 from the home of L. F.
Phillipps and at 3:00 from the Presby
terian church, being conducted by the
pastor. Rev. HatknesB. Wildey lodge.
I. O. O. F.t had charge of the funeral
and the pall bearers were six members
of the order from Cambridge, where Mr.
Dodds held his membership.
Monday afternoon Hazel Leffingwell
aged nine years, had a narrow escape
from death beneath the wheels of Union
Pacific train No. fi. The accident occur
red at the Platte street crossing, where
there is no watchman, and little Hazel
was trying to cross ahead of train No, 7,
and did not observe the eastbound train.
She was struck by the engine and
knocked to one side of the track, and
received a bad bump on the bead. In
the child's arm was a doll she bad re
ceived for a Christmas present, and this
was broken. Fortunately the train was
running slow or it would have been a
fatal accident. A physician on the train
examined Hazel's injuries as soon as she
was picked up and found that outside of
a few bruises she was unhurt.

known as the Parlor barber shop, under
the new management.
T. B. Hord of Central City, who has
been, extensively engaged in stock rais
ing and grain buying in this state, died
Saturday in Minneapolis, where be had
been taking treatment, as be had been
suffering from a paralytic stroke which
he suffered about two years ago. Mr.
Hord was well known in this city, as it
was here he located his central elevator,
one of the largest in the state, and he
had occasion to visit this city quite of
ten. His body was taken east for bur
ial. After January 1, 1911, Max Elias will
again be permanently located in Colum
bus, and will have charge of the Union
Pacific baggage room. And it is quite
probable that instead of his time being
devoted exclusively to this, he will be des
ignated as station master, with supervi
sion over the entire depot. For some
time the necessity of a station master
for Columbus has been apparent, and the
officials have bad the matter under con
sideration, and there is a good prospect
that this change also will be made the
first of the year. -

Five tramps, James Riley, Fred Thom
pson, Thomas Moore, William Lawrence
and John B. Lynn were arrested last
Thursday by Chief of Police Schack,
obarged with vagrancy, and Police Judge
O'Brien gave them fines of $15 each and
costs. The next day warrants were is
sued for two of them, James Riley and
Fred Thompson, ohsrging them with
larceny. Before their arrest on the
charge of vagrancy they were in the II.
H. Stires millinery store, where they
stole fun valued at $35. John Blohak,
who works for the Union Pacific, saw a
man come down to the tracks where the
remaining four were and give some furs
to one of the men, who put them under
his coat and made his getaway. His
description of the men tallied with those
under arrest, and they were identified
by Miss Harriet Seizor as the men who
were in the store before the furs were
missing. AH efforts to locate the miss
ing fun were unavailing.but the evidence
of their guilt was sufficient for the
judge to impose twenty-five day jail
sentences on them.
A. L. Rnsh of the Hord Grain Co., who
now has charge of the government
weather report in this city, reports that
the coldest weather for December was on
the sixth, when the thermometer regis
tered one below zero. The highest tem
perature for the month was on the eigh
teenth when the thermometer registered
45 above. During the month the snow
fall meneured eleven inches three inches
ob the fourth, four inches on the firth
and fonr inches on the twenty-first.
This latter snow was much heavier
further west, as at Monroe it was from
six to eight inches deep, while at Albion
there was almost a foot of snow. Mr.
Bush took charge of the weather report
November I, succeeding C. C. Gray, who
was reporter for a number of years.
Thursday of last week there were two
replevin cases before Police Judge
O'Brien, Henry Reins being the plaintiff
in both cases. Some time ago Mr. Reins
lost twelve hogs and he found eleyen of
them at the home of Myron Rice. The
ownership was disputed sod a suit was
brought. The other bog was found In
possession of Henry Stone of Platte
Center and the second suit was against
him. Judge O'Brien took the case under
advisement until Tuesday of this week,
when he decided the Reins-Rice case in
favor of Reins. In the case against
Stone the defendsnt testified that he
bought the hog of Rice, and in this esse
the decision was against Reins. Rice
and Reins live northwest of this city,
near Platte Center.
One of the appointments to be made
by Governor Aldrich, and one which af
fected a resident of Platte county, is the
position of superintendent of the Girl's
Industrial school at Geneva. This posi
tion has been held for a number of
years by Miss Lydia McMabon of thi9
city, both under Governors Sheldon
and Shallenberger, and Miss McMahon
is an active applioant for reappointment
under the incoming administration. So
far nothing has been done, and it is un
derstood that no announcement will be
made until after the inauguration.
It is rumored that another change in
the Union Pacific time table is scheduled
for Sunday, which will put on the two
trains taken off Nos. 13 and 14. One of
the reasons assigned for this is that
when the trains were taken off two of
the other roads agreed to do likewise,
but one of them failed to keep the agree
ment. Another reason is the complaints
regarding the mail service, as at present
the arrival of the dailies, not only in Col
umbus, but every town on the main lino
and branches is quite uncertain.
Next week the county board of super
visors will meet to settle up the businees
of the year and organize a new board.
There will be two changes for 1911. John
Goets. who has represented District No.
1 for a number of years, is succeeded by
Fred Dassenbrock, and in district No. 3,
C. A. Peterson is succeeded by Henry
Schacber, whom he defeated two years
ago.
The dance, which was to have been
given by the Columbus City band this
week, will not be given on account of
other attractions in the city, but the
boys will select a later date, due an
nouncement of which will be made.

work. He now has a very progressive
work among the dives of San Francisco
to which he is just returning after bis
marriage. He takes the roughest of
the men of the neighborhood of his mis
sion into the gymnasium and tht-n after
entertaining for a while be pushes the
apparatus into the corner and preaches
them the Gospel in a convincing manner.
This is a rare chance to hear a man who
is actively in touch with the work of
reaching men who have gone low down
in sin in the search for lifee pleasures.

We face a new year. Th old year is
practically behind us. We hnv not
written as well as we wish but the book
is full. We will watch the sun go down
and weave a halo of red and gold about
the brow of 1910, we will then tarn our
face eastward to see the snn uf the new
year come trooping over the hills After
a few friendly and biuum ss documents
1911 will be a familiar and exsy date.
The facing of a new year shook! tn-ike
one serious and thoughtful No orm but
God can tell what it has in store for us
The race will p on and w. must
move with the tide To some it will be
the gladdest year, to others the saddest:
to some it will be the beet year, toothers
the worst; to some it will be the begin
ning, to others the ending. Let us make
no foolish resolutions that will be as
thoughtlessly broken as made but let us
creep close up to Jesus and say: "This
year I am going to have Him for my
guide."
"So. hope-lit New Year, with thy joys uncertain.
Whose unbolted mystery none can foretell,
I calmly trust my Jeana to lift the curtain.
Safe in His love for me, 'twill all be well."
