When buyers prefer Columbus to Oma
ha that fact alone tells well for the
prices and quality of the Columbui
goods.
The Leading Millinery store is do
ing a very large business, and has lately
secured the services of Miss Alice Main

Nebraska towns all around are
moving for manufactures, and it is not a
"craze" either, but simply an indication
of good health and spirit of enterprise;
it is fresh endeavor to do something
for bettering the condition Of things, and
making the great west what it ought to
be, and the cities and towns that take
Time by the forelock are those most apt
to prosper. We notice that Norfolk is
to have an artificial stone mandatory
also a brick and tile company.
We have a factory (guess it is the
only one in the United States)where they
make leather shoes with wooden soles.
They make them by the thousands and
could sell them by the ten thousands, il
they had the capital to invest. Buy of
of them, send them customers that they
may be able to make more shoes, to en-
ploy more workmen, to buy more raw
to earn more money coming
mainly from abroad into Columbus, to
increase the business of our merchants,
mechanics and SO on.
One of the very handsomest places
Of business in this city is the Leading
establishment. Mr.. and Mrs.
J. C. Fillman have certainly displayed
faultless taste in fitting up their store
on Nebraska Avenue-everything is new,
nice, elegant, and the goods they have
for sale are as handsome as they we'll
ran be. The ladies call the store
which it certainly is judg-
ing from the number who may be seen
going in and out, and examining the
newest and latest styles.
There is misapprehension which
We find is very general, in regard to one
feature of the revenue law. We often
hear it said: "Mr. So-and-so gave in his
at 80 many dollars" naming
always a much lower figure than the
worth of the property, and of course
to cast stigma upon the
holder The fact is that it is
he sworn duty of the owner to list the
and that of the assessor ito de-
;ermine and fix the fair cash value of all
TENS Of personal property"
We clip the following from the
Herington, Kan, Headlight. Mr.. Cooke
Vas father of Mrs. s. C. Osborn, and for
several years a resident of this county:
Rev. Cooke, father of Sidney G. and
DR.. e. H. Cooke, died on Tuesday last
lfter protracted illness. The deceased
vas n years of age and had been a de-
7oted minister of the Gospel for fifty
'ears. The funeral services were con-
lucted by Rev. E. B. Msthena at the
of Sidney G. Cooke, at 3 O'Clock
afternoon, after which the re-
mains were followed to their last and
inal abode in the city cemetery, by the
amily and large concourse Of sympa-
hizing friends"
d. L. Conard, jr., Of Platte county,
he three years old son of his father, by
he same name, met with quite an acci-
lent last Saturday, while his father was
n town. The children concluded they
would shell some corn, and while an
,lder sister was turning the machine he
concluded he would help the cobs come
,ut and caught his hand in the machine.
His mother tried in vain to release him,
md ran to the neighbors for help, which
,ame promptly in the form of J. L. Tru-
nan. DIR. Clark was sent for and when
le had arrived found badly mangled
,and with the thumb crushed of. The
title fellow is doing as well as could be
under such pressing circum-
Leader.
