KAVANAUGH Last Wednesday evening when west- bound train No. ') pulled into the station a Sicilian woman, named Marie Bonana, who was a passenger left the train and refused to board it again. The woman was enronte from New York to West Berkley, Cat., and became temporarily insane. She imagined that she was be- yond her destination, and refnsed to pro- ceed further. In the hope that she would soon be able to resume her jour- ney Agent Brown arranged for quarters for her at St. Mary's hospital, but she left that institution at three o'clock in the morning. She was finally placed in custody of Sheriff Lachnit, and P. F. Luschsinger, who speaks the Italian language, conversed with her sufticient-l- y to lind out where she was from and her destination. Later Sheriff Lachnit telephoned the Italian vice consul at Omaha, who instructed him to bring the woman to that cit, which he did. Go- ing down she had to be put in the harn- - ness used for insane patients, but after arriving there dfd not want to talk with her people. The vice codbuI took charge of the woman and got into communica- tion with her brother at West Berkley, who said he could not afford to make the trip to Omaha at present. As she is in no condition to travel alone, she will remain in charge of the vice council nntil there is some way of sending her to her destination with some one.

In 1807 Mr. I'.anish came to America, remaining two years, and then returning to Ger- many, and a second time crossed the ocean, in 187, making his permanent home in America. He was u soldier in the (ierman-AiiBtria- n war. In 18TC, in this city, he was married to Belle Boro wiak, and then they went to Leigh, where they made their home for eight years. After leaving Leigh they located four miles east of this city, for four years, and then moved to ten miles southwest of Columbus, which has since been their home. Mr. Banish had been in poor health for the last eight months. but not until three months ago that he was seriously sick. Besides liis wife Mr. Banish, leaves one daughter, Mary Lucy, and other relatives in this city. Funeral services were held Wednesday morning at lo o'clock at St. Bonaven-tur- a church in this city. After an illness of over two years with J paralysis and spinal trouble. Moritz Ladenburg died last Thursday evening at his home in the northeast part of the city. Mr. Ladenburg wbb born in Zobingen, Wurtembnrg, Germany, Sep- tember 14, 1KW. In 1SGT. he came to this country, locating at Chicago, where he resided for two years, then coming to Nebraska, living in Dodge and Saunders counties. In VMi he came to this city, which has since been his home. He was married to Miss Caroline Kraus in 1870, and she died in 181)1.

Columbus may yet be counted in as one of the towns to lie included in the newel)' organized state baseball league. President Henry Sievers of Grand Is- land, head of the state league, was in the city last week and looked over the ground and took up the base ball pro- ject with some of the leading fans, with the result that there is a renewed effort being made to have this city get into the state league W. L. Uoettcher is one of the local enthusiasts who is desirous of seeing Columbus a member of the league and is devoting considerable time to ac- complish this The towns that have joined or expect to do so are Hastings. Grand Island, lied Cloud, Superior, Se- ward, Kearney and Fremont. Central City has asked for a membership in the league, but Columbus is a more desir- able place from the view taken by the state officials. Each town is to put 8500 as a guarantee that their club will finish the season, so there will not be any va- cant dates after the schedule is prepar- ed. Last Wednesday Frank Janicek, of Alexis township, Butler county, was stricken with apoplexy, and died a few hours later from the stroke. Mr. Jani- cek was born in Austria seventy-fou- r years ago, and in lSTO moved to Butler county, which has since been his home, with the exception of twelve years he lived in this city.

Curtis & Son of this city have a contract for grading a 5,000 foot passing track south of the Union Pacific main line, and west of the coal schutes. This track is for east bound freight trains, and will do away with a great deal nf the trouble now experienced by having the crossings in the main part of the city blocked. President Karr and secretary Frank Kersenbrock of the Commercial club, and Postmaster Kramer attended the annual banquet of the Central City Commercial club held Tuesday evening of this week, at a special invitation from that body.

Delamater and William Norris, Inc., original Stndebak-e- r Theatre, Chicago, production of George Barr McCutcheon's most popular and best selling novel "Severely" as dramatized from the novel "Beverly of Graustark," by Robert M. Baker. In the play the lines of the book have been very closely followed by the author, and the result is an almost perfect dramatiza- tion of a most fascinating story. No ex- pense has been spared by the producers as to cast or scenic equipment which add materially in the delightful presentation of the play.

Ten below zero for Tuesday night was the record for February, that made all indications of spring disappear. While the record for February was not as cold as other months of this winter, still it was about the average for the ordinary Nebraska winter. Monday night of this week the barn on the farm occupied by L. A. Hill, north of Monroe, was entirely destroyed by fire, together with the contents, which included six work horses. No one seems to known what was the cause of the fire, I as it occurred in the night. It is reported that John Cover has traded his property, west of the Journal office, to C. S. Boston or Cambridge. Neb , the consideration being some land near Cambridge and' also some cash. It is understood that Mr. Easton contem- plates returning to this city and engag- ing in business. Tuesday evening the thirty-sixt- h an- nual masquerade ball of the Pioneer Hook and Ladder company was held at the Orpheus hall, and in spite of the severe weather the attendance was very good. Prizes for the best costume were awarded to Tony Borowiak and the ladies prize to Mrs. Ashton. Thursday, tomorrow, evening the rep- resentatives from the various towns on the Union Pacific branches will meet in this city to discuss the changing of the railroad time tables on these lines. So far Secretary Kersenbrock has only bad replies from one or two towns, but there will no doubt tie representatives from others who did not reply to the secret arys letter. While repairing the air drum on pass- enger engine No. Sin. that pulls the Norfolk passenger. Machinist Gus Olson bad his leg broken in two places, and the flesh on his limb badly lacerated by the drum exploding.

Barr McCutcheon's "Beverely" All of the delightful characters in George Barr McCutcheon's charming story "Beverly of Graustark" have been retained in the play, and the many pic- turesque scenes have been faithfully re- produced by the scenic artists. "Bever ly" has received the unanimous endorse- ment of the dramatic critics of Chicago. Cincinnati, Buffalo and Pittsburg, and is now earoute to Broadway, New York, for an extended engagement. The com- pany will open at the North Theatre Wed. March 2nd. To the Citizens of the City of Co- lumbus, Nebraska. Council Chambeb, Feb. 18, 1910. It has come to our attention that at a meeting held in the city during the past week the mayor and council were sub- jected to some criticism for the action they have taken in submitting the pro- position to build a city hall and that a resolution was introduced and adopted declaring against said proposition. In view of this, and without in any way seeking to influence the voteon this pro- position one way or the other, we take this means of placing lefore the people of the city the situation in which the council found itself and the difficulties contended with in this connection. To begin with, all seem to be agreed that a City Hall should lie bnifc. Our city has reached a stage where the city administration and the several depart- ments should have a permanent and creditable adminstrntion building. Our present quarters are inadequate for the use of our fire department in holding their meetings and offer no facilities for the proper care of the city's records. The Water Commissioner is in need of headquarters and, in addition to this, it was necessary that provision be made for a city jail, and that at once. But on this point there is little difference of opinion everyone concedes that a city the size of Columbus and as prosperous and energetic as we boast ourselves to be, should have a city ball. The trouble all arises on two points the cost of the bnilding and the location. Before passing the ordinance in ques- tion and submitting the question to the voters, members of the city council vis- ited several neighboring ritiee in which buildings nf this character have recent- ly been erected, inspected them and as- certained their cost. In addition to this, Architect Wurdeman was consulted, and he has prepared plans and drawings of a building which, in the opinion of the members, was not only well suited to needs, but which would be a credit and an ornament to me city, rromine in formation gained in tins way, we were satisfied that a creditable City Hall could be built for the sum of $15,000, and we have given you our best opinion and judgement in the proposition submitted. On the question of a location we have had our greatest difficulty. It was not a question of North or South with us ami it should not be with the voters when tt-e- come tndrcide the question Some think we should have procured a site closer to the business district. We could not even secure an offer on a lot more central than the one selected at any price. There wasn't an owner of pro-lert- y in the business section who would put a price upon his property. Several of our meml-er- s put in the greater part of a week working on this precise ques- tion and were unable to do nnything more than we have done. No business house wants a jail next door, nor does any business man want a piece of dead property next to his and that is what a building of this character would be. From a business standpoint it is dead. We want the voters to give the matter of site as close consideration as we have. In the first place it is but little farther from the center of town than our pre- sent quarters. For the purposes of the Fire and Police Departments it could not be bettered and its convenience for the water commissioner is apparent. Our bond issue is not half what it would have to be were the City Hall built on the high priced property in the heart of the business section and if the voters will take occasion to examine the plans and sketches prepared by the architect, we think they will conclude with us, that the bnilding proposed will le a thing of which our people can be justly proud. We regret that this communication has been made necessary, but deem it on- ly fair to the people we have been select- ed to represent to give them the facts leading up to the submission of this pro- position.

He was married in the land of bis birth in 1857, and came to America twenty years later, settling in Nebraska and Butler county, which has since been his home, and he diet! on the homestead he took in the early days. Besides his wife there are seven children. Joseph, Herman, John and Ferdinand Alt. and Mrs. Anna SeliergiT. Aire.

Fay Wallace plays the title part in "Polly of the Cir- cus." Mr. Thompson, who built the huge Hippodrome and is the owner of the greatest amusement park in the world today.

Wednesday the February term of dis- trict court for Platte county convened with Judge Tliotuns on the Iiench. Al- though there are a numlier of criminal cases on the docket, it is quite probable that none will be tried at this term. The case or the state ni;ainst Marinus Anderson of Lindsay, charged with in- cest, will at least go over nntil the next term and may lie dismissed at this term as the complaining witness, his daughter, cannot be found. The first civil case on the docket to le tried is that of Joseph Zuroski against the Union Pacific rail- road. Last snmmer, while standing on the North street crossing one evening, Zuroski was struck by a west bound train nntl thrown over against the fence around the park. While there were no bones broken, he was severely shakes up, and is now suing the company for damages. The term promises to lie a short one. Last weekj the Y. M. C. A. Business Men's passed resolutions against the proposed city hall bonds which will be voted for on Tuesday, and the firemen of the city have now taken up the fight on lielialTof the proposition. At a meeting of the firemen held pre- vious the sentiment was unanimous in favor of the eity hall, and several strong talks were made in behalf of it. The firemen are interested in the proposed city hall aB it will provide ii permanent home for the department, and also a fire house worthy of the city, and reeling this way, they propose to get out and work for the lionds. Practically the whole department, lo a man, is in favor of the new city hall, and they feel that the success of the bonds is due them, and Columbus has a fire department that they can well be proud of, the record of losses by fire since the estab- lishment of the department being less than any other city of the same size in the state.

    Last Wednesday evening when west-bound train No. ') pulled into the stationa Sicilian woman, named Marie Bonana,who was a passenger left the train andrefused to board it again. The womanwas enronte from New York to WestBerkley, Cat., and became temporarilyinsane. She imagined that she was be-yond her destination, and refnsed to pro-ceed further. In the hope that shewould soon be able to resume her jour-ney Agent Brown arranged for quartersfor her at St. Mary's hospital, but sheleft that institution at three o'clock inthe morning. She was finally placed incustody of Sheriff Lachnit, and P. F.Luschsinger, who speaks the Italianlanguage, conversed with her sufticient-l-y

    to lind out where she was from andher destination. Later Sheriff Lachnittelephoned the Italian vice consul atOmaha, who instructed him to bring thewoman to that cit, which he did. Go-ing down she had to be put in the harn- -ness used for insane patients, but afterarriving there dfd not want to talk withher people. The vice codbuI took chargeof the woman and got into communica-tion with her brother at West Berkley,who said he could not afford to makethe trip to Omaha at present. As she isin no condition to travel alone, she willremain in charge of the vice council nntilthere is some way of sending her to herdestination with some one.

    To the Citizens of the City of Co-lumbus, Nebraska.

    Council Chambeb, Feb. 18, 1910.It has come to our attention that at a

    meeting held in the city during the pastweek the mayor and council were sub-jected to some criticism for the actionthey have taken in submitting the pro-position to build a city hall and that aresolution was introduced and adopteddeclaring against said proposition. Inview of this, and without in any wayseeking to influence the voteon this pro-position one way or the other, we takethis means of placing lefore the peopleof the city the situation in which thecouncil found itself and the difficultiescontended with in this connection.

    To begin with, all seem to be agreedthat a City Hall should lie bnifc. Ourcity has reached a stage where the cityadministration and the several depart-ments should have a permanent andcreditable adminstrntion building. Ourpresent quarters are inadequate for theuse of our fire department in holdingtheir meetings and offer no facilities forthe proper care of the city's records.The Water Commissioner is in need ofheadquarters and, in addition to this, itwas necessary that provision be madefor a city jail, and that at once. But onthis point there is little difference ofopinion everyone concedes that a citythe size of Columbus and as prosperousand energetic as we boast ourselves tobe, should have a city ball. The troubleall arises on two points the cost of thebnilding and the location.

    Before passing the ordinance in ques-tion and submitting the question to thevoters, members of the city council vis-ited several neighboring ritiee in whichbuildings nf this character have recent-ly been erected, inspected them and as-certained their cost. In addition to this,Architect Wurdeman was consulted, andhe has prepared plans and drawings ofa building which, in the opinion of themembers, was not only well suited toneeds, but which would be a credit andan ornament to me city, rromine information gained in tins way, we weresatisfied that a creditable City Hallcould be built for the sum of $15,000, andwe have given you our best opinion andjudgement in the proposition submitted.

    On the question of a location we havehad our greatest difficulty. It was nota question of North or South with usami it should not be with the voterswhen tt-e- come tndrcide the questionSome think we should have procured asite closer to the business district. Wecould not even secure an offer on a lotmore central than the one selected at anyprice. There wasn't an owner of pro-lert- y

    in the business section who wouldput a price upon his property. Severalof our meml-er-s put in the greater partof a week working on this precise ques-tion and were unable to do nnythingmore than we have done. No businesshouse wants a jail next door, nor doesany business man want a piece of deadproperty next to his and that is what abuilding of this character would be.From a business standpoint it is dead.

    We want the voters to give the matterof site as close consideration as we have.In the first place it is but little fartherfrom the center of town than our pre-sent quarters. For the purposes of theFire and Police Departments it couldnot be bettered and its convenience forthe water commissioner is apparent.Our bond issue is not half what it wouldhave to be were the City Hall built onthe high priced property in the heart ofthe business section and if the voterswill take occasion to examine the plansand sketches prepared by the architect,we think they will conclude with us,that the bnilding proposed will le athing of which our people can be justlyproud.

    We regret that this communicationhas been made necessary, but deem it on-ly fair to the people we have been select-ed to represent to give them the factsleading up to the submission of this pro-position.

    Wednesday the February term of dis-trict court for Platte county convenedwith Judge Tliotuns on the Iiench. Al-though there are a numlier of criminalcases on the docket, it is quite probablethat none will be tried at this term.The case or the state ni;ainst MarinusAnderson of Lindsay, charged with in-cest, will at least go over nntil the nextterm and may lie dismissed at this termas the complaining witness, his daughter,cannot be found. The first civil case onthe docket to le tried is that of JosephZuroski against the Union Pacific rail-road. Last snmmer, while standing onthe North street crossing one evening,Zuroski was struck by a west boundtrain nntl thrown over against the fencearound the park. While there were nobones broken, he was severely shakesup, and is now suing the company fordamages. The term promises to lie ashort one.

    Last weekj the Y. M. C. A. BusinessMen's passed resolutionsagainst the proposed city hall bondswhich will be voted for on Tuesday, andthe firemen of the city have now takenup the fight on lielialTof the proposition.At a meeting of the firemen held pre-vious the sentiment was unanimous infavor of the eity hall, and several strongtalks were made in behalf of it. Thefiremen are interested in the proposedcity hall aB it will provide ii permanenthome for the department, and also a firehouse worthy of the city, and reelingthis way, they propose to get out andwork for the lionds. Practically thewhole department, lo a man, is in favorof the new city hall, and they feel thatthe success of the bonds is due them,and Columbus has a fire departmentthat they can well be proud of, therecord of losses by fire since the estab-lishment of the department being lessthan any other city of the same size inthe state.
