The Republictn Convention.
It was just a gathering of brothers
that was all. Everything went off
in the most harmonious manner that
any one could think or hope for, and
nobody was worrying about any lack
of harmony, for the simple reason that
there was no room for it.
It had been predicted by some that
there would be but a small represent
ation from the country precincts, but
nearly all of these were represented
and the greater part of them with full
delegations.
The convention was called to order
by Bruce Webb, chairman of the coun
ty commttee, and the call was read by
the committee secretary, C. N. Mc
El fresh.
H. O. Studley of Creston was then
chosen as temporary chairman, and A.
J. Mason temporary secretary.
On motion of Judge Post, the cus
tomary committe on credentials was
dispensed with, and all townships and
wards presented their credentials to
the secretary, who called the role by
townships,.
The temporary organization was
then made permanent, and the conven
tion proceeded to choose eleven dele
gates to the state convention held yes
terday at Lincoln. The following
were the delegates chosen: A. M.
Post, W. A. McAllister, George Fair
child, Frank J. Gerharz, Charles B.
Galley, C. A. Peterson, Carl Kramer.
V. F. Palmateer, Gideon Braun, II. J.
Hill and A. J.Mason.

Word was received in Columbus
Sunday evening of the death of Floyd
Munger. son of Samuel Munger,
which took place near Pocatello,
Idaho, that evening. No particulars
have been received, other than that

ial. The funeral will be held at the
Congregational church Friday forenoon
at 11 o'clock, with interment in Col
umbus cemetery.
Columbus base ball stock has been
going for the past few days, the team
having taken the matter in hand and
decided that it could show the rest of
the state at few tricks. As a result
of the revival, tney have been win
ning over everything that faced them.
The boys are deserving of evrey good
thing that can be said of them, as
they have been playing against hard
luck, and now that the wind seems to
have changed, let us all stand up and
boost for our team. One thing that
is noticable is that while they were
losing the games, there have been
comparatively few times when the box
score records did not show that the
Discoverers had plaved better ball
tnan their opponents. Columbus is
now in sixth place, having lifted itself
out of the eeventh during the time
Kearney was here, and forcing Kear
ney down to the place held the past
few week by Columbus. If we suc
ceed in keeping up the pace we have
started, we will yet finish in a very
creditable manner.

Inasmuch as Columbus people are

handed to us by Mr. Jaeggi and taken
from the Zurich Zeitung, published at
Zurich, Switzerland, will be of inter
est here. The paper states that a
new preparation has been discovered
that not only hardens the road, but
also acts as a disinfectant. It is
called "Intromit," and is described'
as being a clear colorless fluid, which
is soluable in water, and is sprinkled
on the streets in the ordinary method.
The mixture used in the first applica
tion is made up of one-half water and
the other half "Intromit." In a few
days after the first treatment the
streets are again sprinkled with com
mon water, which has a hardening!
eueci on uie cnemicai. it is also us

a exerts a purifying influence. The

YOUR
DOCTOR KNOWS
that headache, nervous
derangements and other
ailments more or less seri
ous, are many times due to .
eyestrain. Glasses if pre
scribed by a capable Opto
metrist, will seldom fail to
give relief.
I test each eye separate
ly, with great care, then
prescribe just such glasses
as are needed. Any other
way is all wrong and apt
to be harmful.
If you come to me for
your glasses you will be
sure to get just what you
need ana none if you do
not need them.
I guarantee satisfaction
in every case.

evening after their regular meeting,

company at a luncheon at the Orphues
hall. The Seagraves people feel very
kindly toward the Columbus people
and in recognition of the patronage
the firemen and members of the city
council enjoyed the feast at their ex

tioned the fact of a fine line of pianos
being received from the factory by R.

ing one of the handsomest and sweet

nesses in the now famous bank rob

caused by water will now beminimiz-
jed, and that it will pay for itself
within a comparatively short time.

a glance over the list of delegates to
