The funeral services will be held at the Methodist church Satur day morning at 10:30 and the family will then accompany the body to Col umbus, where interment will take place in the Shell Creek cemetary. George Washington Erb was born in Columbus, Ohio, February 22, 1S56, and was thus 55 years, 5 months and ten days old. When he was nine months old his parents came to Nebra ska, settling near Columbus, where he grew to manhood. On November 28, 1882, he was married to Amanda F. McCormick. To this union two sons were born, Michael C, who died at the age of seven, and Harry A., who survives. In 1891 the fam ily moved to Alliance, where they re sided for six years, then removing to Central City, where they have since resided. Mr. Erb had been a member of the Methodist church since 1889 and was a regular attendant at all its services whenever it was possible for him to attend. He was a man of strong faith and his life was a re flection of his faith. Besides his wid ow and son, Harry, there is an adopt ed son, Allan, nine years of age to mourn his departure.

C. lecture course for next winter announce that they have ar ranged for the program, which is an exceptionally strong one. The course will consist of four numbers and every one is a gem in its class. There are two lecture numbers, the lecturers be ing Francis J. Heney, the great graft prosecuter of San Francisco, who will tell the story of the overthrow of graft in that city, and Edward Amherst Ott, who choses for his lecture the some what abstract subject of "Sour Grapes." But whatever about the subject, the lecture itself has attract ed large crowds of appreciative people wherever it has been delivered. An other number will be Montaville Flowers the impersonator, who comes in a Shakesperean role. A number of Columbus people will remember Mr. Flowers as having appeared here a number of years ago in a reading of "Ben Hur," at a meeting of the North Nebraska teachers' association. The fourth number of the course is the Chicago Glee Club, which is now traveling in its thirteenth year, and is sure to prove a treat for the music lovers of the city. The sale of season tickets will commence before long, and the task of selling enough of the season tickets to insure the procuring of this strong course is a large one.
