Plans for the boy's camp are being
taken up and the prospects for a good

sociation has decided to hold the camp
at Blaser Iike which is an ideal place.
The date has been set for June in,
and will extend over a period of about
ten days, the cost for each boy for
the entire period is $3.00. All boys
that are planning to attend should reg
ister at the Y. M. C. A. at their earli
est convenience, as this will give the
committee in charge time to make
definite plans. A word to the parents
regarding camp life: the camp is not
a place where the boys are allowed to
go ungoverned or without Christian
influence, but is a place where the
boys are brought in close contact with
these things and are taught to enjoy
the things that are real in life, so all
parents are urged to have your boys
attend the camp, and receive these
benefits. There will be one or two
adult leaders at the camp at all times
to assist Mr. Anderson in conducting
the camp.
A frightful accident occurred last
Saturday in the north part of Polk
countv. south of Duncan, in which
John Nitsch, an old and well known
farmer lost his life. He had gone to
the pasture to water his cattle, and
when -a. couple of hours later, he did
not return, his wife became alarmed
and started out to seek him. When
she got to the pasture, she saw the
cattle gathered together, and the
mangled and lifeless body of her hus
band had been trampled under their
feet, until practically every bone in
his bodv had been broken. It is
thought that he was attacked by a
vicious bull in the herd, and that ow
ing to his advanced age he was un
able to get out of the way. He was
born in Austria, March 26, 18S37.
Fifty years ago, he was- married to
Miss Phillipina Schindler. They came
to America in 1873, coming direct to
Polk county, where they have lived
ever since. Besides his wife, he leaves
three sons, William Nitsch, of Eniz,
Montana; Joseph Nitsch, of Polk
county, and Rudolph, who still lives at
home; and one daughter, Mrs. Anna
Berriman, of Helena, Montana. The
funeral Is Toeing held today at St.
Andreas church in his home neighbor
hood, being conducted by the pastor.

A good story is being told on an au
tomobile dealer in another town, and
his experience in trying to "knock"
on a Columbus dealer and the car he
sells. E. B. Feaster. manager of the
Columbus Automobile Co., had sold a
Reo car to a man living at Albion.
This other dealer heard of the pro
posed deal, and tried hard to put a
nail in it, by saying unkind things
about the car Mr. Feaster had sold.
A young lady who was visiting at the
home of the customer and who knew
the merits of the Reo, stood it for a
while and when he had finished his
story she offered to stake $150, a gold
watch and a diamoud ring on the Reo
if he would cover the stake with
money of an equal value. Of course
she still has her coin and her jew
elry, but the fellow was too wise to
let her have his coin too. "Yes. I sold
the Reo, all right," said Feaster. "but
I tell you I am mighty sorry I didn't
find out about the bluff in time to see
the game."
Last Wednesday evening the pupils
of St. Francis Academy celebrated the
Patronal Feast of their pastor. Rev.
Father Marcellinus. The large audi
torium of the academy was well filled,
and the program was appreciated to
the limit by the entire audience. One
of the first numbers on the program
was an acorstic by a number of pu
pils, the number being divided into
three parts. The first part was shown
by nine boys bearing the letters form
ing the words, "June 2, 1911;" the sec
ond part by sixteen girls, representing
"Feast of Our Pastor;" the third part.
j brought in the name of the Patron
Saint, "St. Marcellinus." Another fea
ture that was very good was the one
representing the United Workmen, in
which a number of boys, representing
different trades appeared. The num
ber in which the congratulations of
the pupils were extended to the pas
tor was very well received. The mu
sical numbers throughout the enter
tainment were very good, and
showed a high order of training by the
Sisters in charge. Three small plays
were also presented, each of which
proved very entertaining, as well as
showing that the pupils are being
thoroughly drilled in the art of ap
pearing gracefully in public. Taken
all the way through, the entertain
ment was a decided success, both
from the standpoint of the program
and also as a handsome compliment
from the children to their pastor.

Judge Hollenbeck and his reporter,
Blake Maher. took the afternoon train
for Albion Monday, to hold the first
term of court under the new judicial
apimrtionment. The judge made the
trip without acident, but his reporter,
who on account of the crowded condi
tion of the cars, was compelled, much
against his inclination, to share half
his seat with a fair damsel bound for
Fullerton. Just how it was managed
is not known, but by some means the
f. d. so engaged the attention of- the
reporter that he forgot to change cars
at Genoa and remained in his seat
until after the Albion train had pulled
out. Some of his jealous minded com
panions say he did it on purpose, but
Judge Hollenbeck, who is in a position
to know what he is talking about,
says it was a case of hypnotism pure
and simple. There ought to be a strict
law against female hypnotists running
at large.
The people of the entire city were
surprised and shocked Sunday even
ing, when the news was spread around
town that Mrs. Emily Merz had died
in an Omaha hospital following a sur
gical operation. She had gone to
Omaha about two weeks prior, and no
one. even in her immediate family,
had any thought that the nature of
her trouble was in any way danger
ous. The attending surgeon gave the
cause of death as due to surgical
shock and hemorrhage. She was born
in Columbus, February 17, 1874, and
had lived here all her life. During the
past ten years she had been in the
hotel business in this city, having con
ducted successively the Lindell, Pa
cific and Merz hotels. She retired
from the hotel business about two
months ago, having conducted the
Merz alone since the death of her
husband about a year ago. She leaves
her parents. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Gass.
two brothers and one sister. The fu
neral will be held this afternoon from
the home of her parents, the services
being conducted by Rev. O. Klapp. of
Schuyler, who will otliciate in the ab
sence of Rev. R. Neumarker. pastor
of the German Reform church.
Monady evening, six knights and
their ladies composing the winning
team of the Alpha club, wended their
way to the Horstman home and were
tendered a banquet by the losing team.
It had been agreed by the club, that
the six couples having the lowest
score of the season, should entertain
the six having highest. Monday
evening was the time set for celebra
tion. As dinner was announced. Miss
Ruth Berger played a march and a
line was formed to the dining-room,
where each one found their places by
means of dainty place-cards. The ta
bles and room were made rich by the
uso of roses and peonies. A four
course dinner was served, interspersed
by toasts to the winning side. After
dinner the guests were escorted to
the North, then again to the Horst
man home, where instrumental and
vocal music were enjoyed. The hosts
and hostess were Mr. and Mrs. E.
Carter, Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Brian. Mr.
and Mrs. A. L. Rush, Mr. and Mrs.
Phil Echols, Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Peter
son, and Mr. and Mrs. Horstman. The

ley Jones, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Peter
son, and Mr. and Mrs. Wood Smith.

THINK IT OVER
AT
D-A-OK'S
High School Commencement.
Twenty-four young people, seven
teen young ladies and seven young
men, received their diplomas from
the Columbus high school in the pres
ence of a large crowd, last Thursday
evening.
The usual custom of each member
of the class presenting an original
oration on some chosen subject was
departed from this year, only three of
the members appearing on the final
program Miss Elsie Matzen. who de
livered the salutatory. Fred I. Bab
cock, the class prophet, and Miss Vera
Freeman, the valedictorian.
The class address was delivered by
Professor Samuel Avery, chancellor of
the Nebraska state university, and his
address was well received and heart
ily applauded. In addition to the other
numbers, musical numbers were ren
dered by Mrs. Julius Nichols and
Misses Elsa Pohl and Lori M. Fuller.
Wednesday evening occurred the
presentation of the class play. "At
The End Of The Rainbow." in which
nearly all the members of the class
appeared, and every one showed that
they were fully alive to the needs of
the situation as required in the plot.
The class was greetedf with a. crowded
house when the time came for them
to appear in their roles in the dra
matic field.
On Friday, the class of 1910 enter
tained the alumni at a picnic in honor

Wlialey being chosen president and
Miss Marguerite Weaver secretary for
the ensuing year.
The Tribune-Journal gave a synop
sis of the class play last week and
also the items of what the young peo
ple expect to do next year, so it is not
necessary to repeat them at this time.
D. J. Linahan. of Omaha, was in the
city over Sunday night, a guest at the
home of C. J. Carrig, returning home
Monday.
