The st. Francis Academy opened on

pills. During the winter months the at
tendance is much greater, many Of the

Quite a company met Profs. Trim
mer and Blomquest at tho Baptist
church Monday evening. It is not yet
known whether q class will be formed.
A meeting at the same place this Tues
day evening will probably determine
whether Columbus is to have her musi-
cal revival now, or delay it still longer.
We believe that now is q very favorable
opportunity for those who wish to &C.
quire information concerning how to use
and control the vocal organs.
Charlie Williams, who has the con-
tract for repairing the Platte river
bridge, informs us that about ono hum
dred feet Of the bridge will be taken out
now at this end and later some fifteen
spans will be taken out. This is all on
this side where the channel has been
filed up completely and grown up to
trees, 60 that it is as high as other parts
Of the bottom land and there is no need
OF bridge there.-Schuyler Sun.
Mrs. Henry Kluck, of Richland, had
q peace warrant issued last Friday even
ing for the arrest OF her husband. He
was brought before Judge Cuba on Sat-
urdsy and an agreement entered into
between Mr.. and Mrs. Kluck to the ef-
feet that he should be paid $500 per an
mum and remain away from the farm.
It seemed to be the best possible settle
ment of an unpleasant domestic trouble.

The populists and democrats held
all-night sessions here at the court house
Monday night, trying to nominate q
fusion candidate for senator for Platte
and Colfax counties, but didn't agree.
It had generally been supposed that J.
G. Sprecher of Schuyler would be the
nominee, but the populis.s had, it
seemed, reckoned without their host"
The populists were indeed in favor of
Sprecher, but the democrats were not,
anybody but him. apparently, and 60
the end is not yet. LATER.-Tueeday

mated.
The Twenty-fourth regiment u. 8. |
infantry (colored) passed through the |
city Wednesday evening, bound for Ft. |
Lincoln near Cheyenne, and Ft. Doug
las, near Salt Lake. They look like
fighting men, as they proved themselves
to be at Santiago, and are justly proud
Of their record. There was much inter.
est shown in them here, and many
bullets, pieces OF hard-tack, buttons,
etc., will be preserved as relics. While
the train tarried the regimental band
rendered several spirited selections
which were much enjoyed by the large
crowd of spectators.
In the following item from the
Stromsburg News there are several i'm
portant and apparent lessons which you
can readily remember: Last Thursday
night Mrs. Phillips, the milliner, put . !
roll Of money in the top Of her stove on |
some old paper that the stove contained,
for safe keeping during the night. The
next morning was cold and rainy, and
she Lit match to the paper in the stove, |
forgetting her money until it had re-
ceived considerable damage by fire. The
roll OF money contained $500 in bills,
and $1,000 in silver. The silver was not |
damaged q great deal, but the paper |
money has been sent to the seat of gov
ernment for redemption. II the num-
bers on the bills are still visible, Mrs. |
Phillips will be none the loser. But to |
lay all jokes aside it was a mighty close
