KAVANAU6H The event of the year in lodge circles in Columbus was the organization of Columbus Lodge No 1195, B. P. O. E.. last Friday evening. For several weeks local members of the order have been preparing for this, and everything was iu readiness when the Norfolk degree team arrived to put on the work. Ac- companied by members of the order to the number of about sixty, the Sugar City team arrived in a special train about 8 p. m. They at once repaired to the Orpheus hall, where the initiatory cere- monies were held, and proceeded with the work. After the lodge, which starts out with over a hundred members, was instituted, the following officers were elected: E. II. Chambers, exalted ruler; W. U. Schroeder, esteemed leading knight; George J. O'Brien, esteemed loyal kniiht; Louis Lightner. esteemed lecturing knight; Charles L. Dickey, sec- retary. Oua Q. Becher, jr., treasurer; Dr. O. U. Campbell, tyler; Charles E. Pol- lock, C. C. Gray, Sam Gass, jr., trustees. The Klks then repaired to the Maenner-cho- r hall, which had been tastefully de- corated, and were seated at the banquet, which was served by the Ladies' guild of Grace church. Colonel Carroll D. Evans presided as to&stmaster and re- sponses were made by N. A. Iluse. editor of the Norfolk Daily News, ltev. W. U. Xanders and Edgar Howard. At the conclusion of the banquet the remainder of the work was put on at the Orpheus hall, being concluded at about 5 a.m., Saturday morning. Deputy it- - It Ilorth of Grand Island, who has been assisting in the organization of the Col- umbus lodge, had charge of the work. One of the first steps taken by the new- ly instituted lodge will be to secure a permanent home. Already they have under consideration several propositions, and will no doubt accept one soon. June 1, 2 and :, Wednesday, Thurs- day and Friday, the Nebraska State Sportsmen's Association will hold their aunual tournament in this city under the auspices of the Columbus Gun Club. There will be 150 shooters in at- tendance from the various towns of the state, aud a good program ha9 !een ar- ranged, consisting of ten twenty target events each day, jack rabbit per cent system. The grounds will be north of GottschalkB grove, nortbeastof the city, and the local committee have arranged for lunch for the shooters, and also plenty of shells on the ground. The lo- cal gun club has added $500 to the var- ious events. Officers of the state as- sociation are D. D. Bray. Columbus, president; W. H. Ilhan. Albion, vice president; G. A. Schroeder, Columbus, secretary-treasure- r. On Tuesday, May :. which is practice day, there will, very-likel- be a number of events shot off be- tween the visiting clubs on that day. This tournament promises to be one of the largest and best ever pulled off in the state, as great interest is being shown by a great nian3T of the sportsmen of the state. Next Monday the Doxey trial will be- gin at St. Louis and it will he watched with more tLan ordinary interest by Co-lnmb- us people. Among those who will probably go from here as witnesses are Mrs. C. II. Buschman, ,0. F. Todenhoft. A. P. Grover, C. J. Carrig and Myron Wilson and OhaunceyGaeth. who was at the time a clerk in the Dack drug store, but now a resident of Schuyler. Mr. Gaeth was employed in the drug store at the time it is alleged that Dr. Doxey shipped the poison to St, Louis. Boed- er .t Lightner, who were employed by the Eders will continue in the case, but they will in all probability be the on- ly lawyers from this city who will take part in the case. Jacob Laun, one of the well to do farmers of Shell Creek township, resid- ing northeast of the city, committed suicide Monday at noon, by shooting himself in the forehead with a :i$ caliber revolver. Mr. Laun had been despond- ent at times, and was subject to attacks of this kind, and it is supposed that it was one of these spells that caused him to commit the rash deed. He was a married man and leaves a wife and two children. Funeral services will be held Thursday at the German Baptist church north of the city, and will be conducted by llev. Kock. Twelve inch water mains are being put in by the Union Pacific to connect their water cranes at each end of the de- pot, with the supply tank. This will provide an ample flow of water and re- duce the time required for taking water to about one-hal- f. Trains are usually through with their work before the large tanks on the engines are filled, and a de- lay and blocked crossing is the result. With the improvement this will be done away with and much of the complaint about blocked crossings will cease. Washington dispatches of last Friday in the dailies brought the information that Senator Burkett had introduced a bill to increase the appropriation for the Columbus post office building to $75,000, which is $10,000 additional. When the bids for the building were opened it was found that the cost would be more than provided for. and instead of cut- ting down the plans the additional ap- propriation is asked for, 6o that Colum- bus may have that much better building. Two well known Columbus people, O. H. Washburn and Lottie Becher, were married in Omaha Tuesday evening. Before returning to this city they will travel in the west for about three weeks. Dr. Naumaun.

Senator OUis of Ord, who by the way of diversion acts as Superintendent of the Horse department at the coming State Fair, Sept. 5th to 9th, thinks that the horse show of 1910 will be "good for sore eyes." Nebraska breeders have been busy the past two years buying the beet offerings of imported horses, and it is said by the Breeders' Qszette that a recent horse sale of pedigreed stock at Lincoln set the record price for such sales in the United States. 8 ROOM HOUSE Good barn and five acres of lnad, 12 blocks from Post office.

Saturday the state league season was opened in this city, and there was a goal attendance, despite the chilly weather. Mayor Held pitched the first ball and Chief of Police Schack was behind the bat. and president G. Frischhols of the Commercial club was at the bat. Dolan's men opened the game by landing on the Hastings pitcher for three runs in the first and at the end of the fourth inning the score was G to 1 in favor of the home team. But Hastings tied the score in the last half of the eighth, and there was an exoiting finish when Columbus scored in the last half of the tenth.

Hastings evened up matters Sunday by defeating Columbus 4 to 2. An ex cursion was run on the Spalding branch and this swelled the crowd to over 1,000, notwithstanding the day was cold and disagreeable. Cook of Hastings put the ball over the fence for a home inn. Twice during the latter part of the game the home team had the bases filled, but were unable to score. The score: Hastings 0 1 1 20000 0- -4 Columbus 0 000 10 0 1 0- -2 ed.

Dennison of Omaha, spoke at the Boys' meeting, and also at the Mothers' and Teachers' meeting Sunday after- noon. The Y. M. O. A. is issuing a special short-ter- m membership for the summer months. Privileges of full membership toSeptember-2.7;- V, Intermediated 2T; Elementaiy boys $l.r0. The boys department of the Y. M. C. A. will run a camp during the summer. For the benefit of parents who may want their boys to go, the following brief out line of the camp idea is given. The object of the camp will be to give the campers the lient time of their lives out among the beauties of nature, and to cultivate a manly and robust christian oharacter among the boyB. The cam pers will start just as soon as school is out and stay about ten days. Not more than 25 boys between the age of 12 and 16 can go along. The camp will be organ- ized in suoh a way as to do away with the common evils of an ordinary camp of boys. A camp of boys, in fact any sort of young people's camp, without proper organization and supervision does more barm than good. There will be four men. one for every eight boys, called ctrnp leaders, to help the boys plan for and to have good times and accomplish the object of the camp. Be- sides the usual camp-fir- e fun the camp will include field athletics, base ball, tennis, swings, hammocks, swimming, boating, fishing, daily Bible Btudy and devotional meetings. There will be nothing lacking to make the camp lively and enjoyable as well as character building. The camp government will be in the bands of a "camp council" com- posed of a representative from each squad of boys, the head leader of the camp and the secretary. No fire arms will be allowed and every boy will be ex pected to use good "horse sense," keeping in mind the other fellow and the wsll-fare- of the whole camp. The cost of each lioy is estimated at about $3 00. A refund will be given in case the average does not go that high. Applications can lie secured at the Y. H.C.A at any time. The application must be signed by both the boy and his parents and filed at the Y. M. C. A. office on or before Jnne 1st, with the fee of $3 00. The money must be paid iu advance in order to make necessary purcnasea. n is hoped that a good bunch of boys will be signed up for this camp and the earlier they sign up the better it will be.

The Druggist oa the Corner Oolumbas, Nebraska On account of the very bright moon- light, many Columbus people who arose early Wednesday morning to see Hal-ley- 's comet, were somewhit disappoint About four a. m. the telephone girls were very busy calling people who bad expressed a desire to see the comet what was supposed to be the most advantageous time Tuesday of this week the Commercial National Kank. which held a $2.o00 mortgage on the furniture of the Thurs- ton hotel, began foreclosure proceedings and the same day landlord Peaslee gave the bank a bill of sale of the mortgaged property. At present the hotel is in the hands of the hank, and meals have not been served since Tuesday evening, but the rooms are being used. Interested parties are trying to effect a settlement the hotel can be opened up at once, and the serving of meals resumed. Quo. Lehman, who owns the building, had the matter of enlarging it under con- sideration for some time, and may make some arrangements to do the work this summer. Mr. Peaslee'd lease dors not expire until October 1 and it is probable that a manager will be placed in charge until that time. Last Friday, during the absence of Superintendent Oonu in Lincoln, the senior class of the High school presented themselves at the building, dressed in overalls, mother hubbards and odd wearing apparel, and principal Britell sent them home to remain until notified to return. When Superintendent Conn returned he fully approved the course of Mr. Britell, and later took the matter up with the parents of the pupils who were concerned in the prank. The meeting was held at the High school building Tuesday afternoon, and the parents were practically unanimous in uphold- ing the superintendent in his action. Superintendent Conn has taken a firm stand against such pranks by the pupils, and the only thing parents can do is to uphold him. Such actions as those of last Friday, while seemingly harmless, cannot be countenanced, as they have a tendency and will, ultimately, destroy the discipline in the schools. All the class returned to their studies Wednes- day, and the action in the matter of all concerned will have n tendency to check any future foolishness of this kind. Marriage Licenses. Fred O.

Y. M. C. A. Notes.
E. F. Dennison of Omaha, spoke at theBoys' meeting, and also at the Mothers'and Teachers' meeting Sunday after-noon.
The Y. M. O. A. is issuing a specialshort-ter- m membership for the summermonths. Privileges of full membershiptoSeptember-2.7;- V, Intermediated 2T;Elementaiy boys $l.r0.
The boys department of the Y. M. C.A. will run a camp during the summer.For the benefit of parents who may wanttheir boys to go, the following brief outline of the camp idea is given. Theobject of the camp will be to give thecampers the lient time of their lives outamong the beauties of nature, and tocultivate a manly and robust christianoharacter among the boyB. The cam perswill start just as soon as school is outand stay about ten days. Not more than25 boys between the age of 12 and 16can go along. The camp will be organ-ized in suoh a way as to do away withthe common evils of an ordinary campof boys. A camp of boys, in fact anysort of young people's camp, withoutproper organization and supervisiondoes more barm than good. There willbe four men. one for every eight boys,called ctrnp leaders, to help the boysplan for and to have good times andaccomplish the object of the camp. Be-sides the usual camp-fir- e fun the campwill include field athletics, base ball,tennis, swings, hammocks, swimming,boating, fishing, daily Bible Btudy anddevotional meetings. There will benothing lacking to make the camp livelyand enjoyable as well as characterbuilding. The camp government will bein the bands of a "camp council" com-posed of a representative from eachsquad of boys, the head leader of thecamp and the secretary. No fire armswill be allowed and every boy will be expected to use good "horse sense," keepingin mind the other fellow and the wsll-fare- of
the whole camp. The cost ofeach lioy is estimated at about $3 00. Arefund will be given in case the averagedoes not go that high. Applicationscan lie secured at the Y. H.C.A at anytime. The application must be signedby both the boy and his parents and filedat the Y. M. C. A. office on or beforeJnne 1st, with the fee of $3 00. Themoney must be paid iu advance in orderto make necessary purcnasea. n ishoped that a good bunch of boys will besigned up for this camp and the earlierthey sign up the better it will be.

Tuesday of this week the CommercialNational Kank. which held a $2.o00mortgage on the furniture of the Thurs-ton hotel, began foreclosure proceedingsand the same day landlord Peaslee gavethe bank a bill of sale of the mortgagedproperty. At present the hotel is in thehands of the hank, and meals have notbeen served since Tuesday evening, butthe rooms are being used. Interestedparties are trying to effect a settlement
the hotel can be opened up at once,and the serving of meals resumed. Quo.Lehman, who owns the building, hadthe matter of enlarging it under con-sideration for some time, and may makesome arrangements to do the work thissummer. Mr. Peaslee'd lease dors notexpire until October 1 and it is probablethat a manager will be placed in chargeuntil that time.
Last Friday, during the absence ofSuperintendent Oonu in Lincoln, thesenior class of the High school presentedthemselves at the building, dressed inoveralls, mother hubbards and oddwearing apparel, and principal Britellsent them home to remain until notifiedto return. When Superintendent Connreturned he fully approved the course ofMr. Britell, and later took the matter upwith the parents of the pupils who wereconcerned in the prank. The meetingwas held at the High school buildingTuesday afternoon, and the parentswere practically unanimous in uphold-ing the superintendent in his action.Superintendent Conn has taken a firmstand against such pranks by the pupils,and the only thing parents can do is touphold him. Such actions as those oflast Friday, while seemingly harmless,cannot be countenanced, as they have atendency and will, ultimately, destroythe discipline in the schools. All theclass returned to their studies Wednes-day, and the action in the matter of allconcerned will have n tendency to checkany future foolishness of this kind.
