Geo. HAgefman, the man Who stole
horses frcm John Craig's barn neaz
Schuyler, and then set the barn On fire,
had his hearing Last Wednesday. His
bond on the charge Of hosse stealing
was fixed at $1,000, that on the charge
of arson $500. OF course he stays in
Jail till the district court meets, Feb.
11th. The wretch had admitted stealing
the horses, but denies setting the fire.
There are some facts connected With the
matter that have not yet been made
public.
The cattle and hog market Of South
Omaha was in . demoralized condition
last week. There was no life in the
trade on anything except stockers and
feeders. Very fair oorn-fed cattle cold
at $500 to $a35 and good to choice lots
at $a25 to 3.60 One prime lot Of native
feeders sold at $S25 and q number of
other good loads at $3.50 to $a1O. Light
and medium hogs brought Saturday
$455 to $475; good to choice mixed,
$465 to $3.50; good to choice heavy,
$40 to SASS
Mr.. Knox has made engagements
with one of the best companies in the
United States to give four first class en-
tertainments IN the Opera House BE-
tween now and spring. This is the
truest way for Us to get value for the
money We spend in attending the per-
formances in our Opera House. We go
there SO frequently to be humbuggsd by
some snide so-called troupe that We
should appreciate the efforts Of any in
teligent citizen Who viii undertake to
choose for US nothing but the best.
Thursday evening, Dr.. Geo. l. Mil
Ter lectured in the Opera House to the
largest audience that We have ever
known to attend a lecture in Columbus.
The doctor labored under the disadvant-
age of bad cold, but the matter of his
lecture was highly entertaining to his
and he was roundly applauded
at its close. The city Of London was
bis theme, and certainly he treated Of it
in q unique manner. The ladies Of the
Guild are entitled to the thanks Of the
for the opportunity to hear
the doctor.
The snow and rain Of last week Is q
Of good for the people Of Ne
braska. Rain is disagreeable while fall
ing, but it is the blood Of the inanimate
world, dissolving its gases and solids,
and preparing them for the feeding Of
the vegetable world when it shall be
again aroused from its winter sleep to
clothe the earth, and prepare its pro-
ducts for man and the animal world.
The long months Of dry weather were
very pleasant and enjoyable, but the
patter Of the rain upon the roof" is 90
of all that 10 good to man and
The beautiful in nature, that it comes a.
rythm and music.
The Edwin Clifford Dramatic Co.
presented "Dsvy Crockett" at the Opera
House last Tuesday evening to a small
audience, on account Of the severe storm.
On Wednesday evening the company
gave -Dr. Jekyu and Mr.. Hyde" The
audience vas larger than on the previous
evening and the performance an i'm
provement over their first one. Mr..
Clifford sustained the part Of the good
DR.. Jekyu and the fend. Mr.. Hyde. His
support is not good, consequently he
played under disadvantage. The pres
ent company has only been organized
two weeks and the members are not we'll
drilled in their different parta Mr..
Clifford is an old favorite with Columbus
-goers. but be will soon loose the
goodwill and patronage Of the people
unless he secures q better company.
