MANY YEARS AGO
FileB of the Journal, January lfi, 1878.
At one time Friday there were one
hundred tennis conntod coming into the
city from every direction. It was about,
as lively a day as Columbus has seen
for a long time.
In one of the school districts in this
county the pupils carry drinking water
from their homes, uome of tliein more
than a mile diutunt, and yet th?ro is a
well at the sehod house.
Five thousand pen-one visited tho
Union Pacific headquarters on the 12th
at Omaha, to take a view or tho now
building of the company. The building'
is a magnificent structure, and including
ground coat the company not less than
one hundred thousand dollars.
A. J.Arnold has hit upon a triple rail
for railwaj's, which promises to work a
revolution in tho expend- or ironing
roads, especially where the railfl have to
be transported a long distance, Tho
weight is only ono third more than the
ordinary rail; it is very much stronger,
is more readily held to its place, and has
three faces which can be used alternate
ly. A model was sometime hincc shown
to railroad men. who declared it a suc
cess if it could Iv rolled, and lately, on
submission at the rolling mills, that last
doubt was removed. We hope that our

Good roads, and the building of a per
manent road from the north bank of the
Platte river to the city of Columbus,
were the topics which were thoroughly
discussed at the citizens' meeting, Mon
day ovening, called by President Frisch
holz of the Commercial club. When
the good roads representative of the
government, J. H. Dodge, was here, he
took two samples of the material requir
ed for a good road and left them with
President Frischholz of the club, and
these were on exhibition at the meet
ing. The meeting was told of the pre
liminary work by Mr. Dodge and his
ideas explained. A gentleman from
Central City happened to be present and
he was asked a number of questions re
garding the work of Mr. Dodge at that
place. He said that the road was .very
satisfactory and that when it was being
built those interested in roads in Mer
rick, Hamilton and Nance counties were
there to witness the work and ask ques
tions of the expert, and that daring the
construction Mr. Dodge gave them sever
al talks on the road building, and that
much interest was shown in his work, in
fact the good effects of the demonstra
tion have been apparent all over the co
unty. The meeting was unanimous for
accepting the government's offer of as
sistance in building the road between
the rivers, and a committee of six, con
sisting of G. W. Phillips, Sam Gass, jr.,
Gus G. Becher, jr., G. Frischholz, G. W.
Viergatz and R. S. Dickinson, was ap-
I pointed to confer with the county board,
the city council and the township board
of Columbus township, and ask for funds
to assist iu the work. The reason for
doing this is that the county at large
would be benefitted by having n demon
stration made that all those interested
in roads could observe, and that the
township would have a piece of road
which would not require the usual
amount of attention for mnny years, and
tho city would be benefitted by the ad
ditional trade thegood road would bring
here. The distance of road to be built
is estimated at two and one-quarter
miles, and the cost at present is put at
$1,200 per mile. This, however, may be
a trifle more or less, according to the
amount of work required to place the
material in tho road. And another point
bronght before the meeting was the fact
that the demand for the government ex
perts was so great that it was advisable
to put in an application early to insure
getting a man during the early part- of
the coming summer, when the road will
be built. This suggestion will be carri-1
ed out. and a request made at once.
The meeting adjourned, subject to the
call of the president when a report of
the committee to wait on the county and
township board and city council will be
niude, and at that time arrangements
will bo made for what money is needed
for the work .
Monday morning of this week Will
3chroeder met with an accident that
nearly cost him his life He has been
working on the new school building at
Fullerton, and that morning went to
that place to work during the week. He
and the contractor had climbed upon the
cornice of the building and were forty
seven feet from the ground, when some
of the eteel work, which was too light,
gave way, precipitating them to the
ground. It was first reported here that
Will's back had been broken by the fall,
and he had also suffered a broken arm.
This latter proved to be exaggerated, as
his injuries were a badly wrenched
shoulder ai.d back, and probably inter
nal injuries, no bones being broken.
His companion, the contractor, had both
legs broken by the fall. Relatives from
here went to Fullerton in an automobile
as soon as word regarding his injury was
received and they expected to bring him
down on the freight the same evening
but this was not done, and he was
brought in on the Tuesday noon passen
ger. While Will's injuries are not very
serious and may lay him up for a long
time, hehnu a very fortunate escape from
instant death. He is at present at St.
Mary's hospital, and the physicians in
charge are hopeful that his condition
will soon show signs of improvement.
An institute meeting will be held next
Saturday, January 14, at 150 p. m , at
thwY. M. C. A. building in Columbus
under the auspiceB of the Colnmbus
Corn Growers' association. A program
has been prepared, consisting of music
and speaking, the two principal address
es being by H. C. McCord on "Cement
Products on the Farm," and H. A. Clarke
on "Good Roads." These are both local
speakers and their subjects will be in
teresting. This is one of the meetings
the association has arranged for the win
ter, the second one being held on the
second Saturday in February. Besides
these two subjects others dealing with
topics pertinent to every fanner, will
also be giyen consideration. Since its
organization the Corn Growers' associa
tion has been steadily increasing in mem
bership, and while these meetings are
given by it, they are anxiouB that
those who are not members should feel
themselves free to attend, and enroll as
members of the association should they
so desire. The association desire to
hare it understood that the organization
is a permanent one, and that next year
they expect to conduct a corn show that
will be a credit to the association and
the territory it covers.

U. A. Clarke and son Bruce returned
last Saturday evening from their three
weeks' trip to Los Angeles. They, were
on the field the day that Hoxsey met his
death at the avation meet, and Mr.
Clarke Bavs that a heavy wind storm
prevailed on that day. He did not wit
ness the accident, however.
Tuesday evening's cold wave arrived
on schedule and while reports from the
west indicated that it would equal the
one that ushered in the new year, the
wind was not as high nor the tempera
ture as low as during the former storm.
The lowest temperature recorded up to
Wednesday morning was 3 below zero,
which was cold enough.
Tillie Materia filed a complaint in
police court, charging Joe Hicks with
essault and battery, tho trouble being
about some hay. The case was before
Judge O'Brien on Monday, and a con
tinuance for tan days was taken. On
the same day the case of Frieda Bardy
shock against Frank Micek, where the
complaining witness charges Micek with
disturbing the peace, was also up and in
this case a continuance was taken for
ten days.
A year ago the office of register of
deeds was created for Platte county, the
population being sufficient to entitle it
to the additional office. When this step
was taken many thought the. new office
would not pay expenses for some years,
but the business of the year just closed
disproves this, as after paying all expen
ses of the office, including the salary of
the deputy, register of deeds Jerry Carrig
turned over to the county the sum of
$290.: JO, this being the amount received
by tbo office in excess of all expenses.
When the annual tounBbip levy was
made by Oconee township last spring the
general fnnd levy was placed at nine
mills, which was seven mills in excess of
the amount provided for by law. When
Union Pacific railroad paid their taxes,
they took acception to this item, and in
district court azed for a restraining
order against the township to prevent
them from collecting this tax. But
when the attention of the township
board was called to the excessive amount
levied, they requested the county board
to change the levy to two millB to con
form with the law, and this the county
board did. And now those who have
paid the excessive tax can get a refund
from the treasurer of that township.
Cold weather and numerous other at
tractions in the city, including the Biasell
Hose Company's dance, prevented a large
attendance at the annual stockholders'
meeting of the Columbus base ball club.
On account of this the election of a new
board of directors was deferred until a
later date, and the meeting adjourned
subject to the call of the president.
The small attendance at the meeting
does not indicate that there is any lack
of enthusiasm for base ball, as those who
are in touch say that prospects were
never better. And as the time for get
ting ready for the season of 1911 is now
at band, the old board of directors are
not going to wait until their successors
are elected, but will hold a meeting this
(Wednesday) evening to outline the
campaign for raising funds and other
preliminaries.

J. W. Steele, residing west of the city
on Route 4, died at his home, Tuesday
rooming, aged 80 years. Mr. Susie was
born in Wurtemburg, Germany Dec. 7,
1830. He lived there until of age when
he came to America in 1851, locating in
Pennsylvania. September 6, 1860, he was
married at Canton, O., to Snsan Darr,
and they celebrated their golden wed
ding in September of this year. In 1883
he moved with his family to west of
Columbus, which has since been his
home. Mr. Sisele has been ailing for
some time with droapy, and his condi
tion had been growing steadily worse
since last fall. Besides his wife he leaves
two daughters, Mrs. Wm. Moore of
Genoa and Mies Emma at home, and one
son, Henry, living west of town. Fun
eral services will be held Thursday at 1
p. m., from the home, being conducted
by a minister of the Church of God,
of which the deceased was a member,
and burial will be in the Columbus
cemetery.
Columbus City schools received recog
nition for the three exhibits entered
by them at the Nebraska Industrial
school exhibits, at Lincoln, November
23,24,25,1910. There were sixty-seven
classes in the eight divisions, and a total
of several thousand exhibits made by
the one hundred city schools and also a
large number of country schools. The
total premiums offered for the exhibits
waa $250 and of this amount Columbus
received 1850, divided among their
three exhibits as follows: General art
work, $4.50; domestic art, $3.00; general
manual training exhibit, $1.50. While
these amounts were not large, still re
present a good percentage of the entire
amount. And another thing in connec
tion with the premiums that speaks as
well for the schools is that but three ex
hibits were entered and each of these
recognized, and also in competition with
all the large schools of the state, includ
ing Lincoln and Omaha. Columbus
schools enjoy a high rank and the
awards for these exhibits tend to streng
then that position.

The City Council.
As a result of the narrow escape from
the death of little Hazel Ls&isgwsU at
the Platte street crossing of the Union
Pacific, two weeks ago, the city council
took action regarding a watchman at
that crossing, and pissed the following
resolution:
Whereas. Recent accidents at the

ing is not safe, as contemplated by Sec
tion 8, of Chapter XLVI, of the Revised
Ordinances of the City of Colnmbus,
(1910). therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Mayor and City
Council of the City of Columbus, that
the said crossing of Platte street by the
Union Pacific railroad is now in a condi
tion to warrant proceedings as contem

Congregational Church.
The supreme work is to create pablks
sentiment for right and justice. These
are the supreme virtues of life. The old
Hebrew sage said: "What does the
Lord require of thee but to do just!,
love mercy and walk humbly with God?
The aim of the gospel is to mould pub
lic sentiment until the kingdoms of this
world shall become the kingdoms of
heaven.
The man of greatest value to -society
not necessarily filling the most conspic
uous positions, or earning and spending
the most money, but whose influence is
the greatest for good. The institution
that society can the least sfford to be
without is the one that is the most
clearly and forcibly turning the eyes of
men to better things.
This is the reaeon that the church
should live in society without excuse.
There are mighty forces moulding public
sentiment for good, but none have yet
surpassed the church. The public press
stantls hardly second to any power for
go d, yet the majority of editors worship
at some church altar or the Sunday.
The majority of statesmen, authors,
artists, and teachers gain spiritual im
pulses and inspiration from the church.
The church belongs to the community
and no man is doing his full daty who is
not a supporter of some oburcb, who hss
not some church that he may call "any
church."
The Congregational churoh presents
you a hearty invitation to share their
place of worship with them next Sua
