KAVANAUGH Bonds for paving, sewerage and a new city hall were endorsed by the Commer- cial club at their special meeting held Wednesday evening for the purpose of hearing the report of the committee appointed for the purpose of investi- gating the paving ami sewerage proposi tions. The paving question was the main one contained in the report, and the paving district recommended ex- tends from Platte to Lewis streets, aud from the south side of Fourteenth to the alley south of Eleventh street. The amount of bonds recommended for the intersections was $15,000, winch the committee believed would be sufficient and for the sewer the same amount would he required. Some time ago bonds were voted for a city hall, but after the election had been held it was found that the city did not have author- ity to issue these The present legisla- ture has a bill before it which will pro- vide for this and in addition to the other recommendations was one for issuing 15,000 for city hall purpurea should the bill become a law. The committee vai composed of Uus. It. Spuicc, II. A. Clarke, (1. W. Phillips. G. Frisehholz and L. II. L-a- vy. The report was adop- ted !y the club without a dissenting voice, ami those who have been pusbiug IheHe projects feel as though there is no oticstiun about there becoming a reality in the near future. Petitions will be circulated for the various bonding pro- positions and President Frischhol?'. ap pointed the committee to circulate them: B. .1. Galley, C li. bpeice, S. 15. Marty, E II.

Xet Saturday, April 1st, the fishing season opens, and already several large camping outfits aro making ready to be on the ground as soon as the law will )Krmit. It appears a hardship lo the real fisherman, who never goes beyond the rod and reel to enjoy the sport, to be compelled to stop in November, just when his favorite "pike" are doing all manner of bait-takin- g stunts. There should lie no closed 6eaeon for the man who fishes with rod and reel. But bear in mind that all sportsmen over eighteen years of age must take out a license. This will cost you one dollar at the office of the county clerk, and may be the means of saving yon much trouble in case the "bogey" man comes around. New arrivals every day.

Last week Baggageman Elias at the Union Pacific issued an order for all hotel and transfer men who meet the trains to keep entirely off the station platform.

But they were soon back at the trains again, and the order for them to keep off the platform was the result. Your Expense Account will be a small item if the monthly rent checks arc omit- ted.

Last Tuesday evening, while Deputy Sheriff Mark Burke was returning to his hotel in Norfolk after taking an insane patient to the asylum, he discovered n Bohemian emigrant from Kushville, named Koutoe, who was the victim of an attempted holdup in the Northwestern yards at that place. The old man, who was uuahle to talk English, was on his way to the west, and had a considerable amount of money with him.

SPECIAL PRICES NOW L W. WEIVER t SON HARNESS AND COAL Commercial Club Elect Officers. Tuesday evening the Commercial club held their annua! meeting for the pur- pose of electing officers, and also listen- ing to the reports of the committee ap- pointed to solict funds enough to com- plete the amount required for building the roads between the city and the Platte river bridge. The chairman of the soliciting com- mittee not being present, a report was made by the three other members, and they reported subscriptions to the amount of $810.50, stating that there were quite a number whom they had not seen and that they could without doubt raise the required $1,000. This report was accepted and the committee continued until their work was com- pleted. .When the reading of the mitiutes was completed, 6. A. Schroeder asked that the report of the committee on paving be amended so as to include Lewis street from the south side of Fourteenth to the alleys south of Eleventh street. After some discussion a motion was carried including Lewis street from the north side of Thirteenth to the alley south of Eleventh in the proposed paving dis- trict. The committee on paving was al- so given power to take the matter before the city council. The club authorized the officers to confer with the county board and request them to make formal application for the government expert to build the proposed road to the Platte river bridge, as the amount of money required was practi- cally assured. The committee first ap- pointed on securing the government ex- pert was instructed to sec Mr. Sheldon and find out what the cost of securing the proper material would be, the neces- sary gumbo being located on his land, near the proposed road. Eight directors were then elected fur a term of three years, two from each ward. James Hancy and W J. Walter were elected in the First ward; Mr. Haney succeeding F. J . Kersenbrock, who has removed from the ward, and Mr. Walter succeeding hiniBclf. In tho secoud ward the two directors wtio3e terms expire. Jacob Greisen and 8. J. llyan, were re- elected. In the Third ward the prcbont members, U. A. Clatke and C. J.Garlow, were also d. In the Fourth ward there were three members to elect, one to till the vacancy caused by the removal of S. B. Gregg. Thcvacaucy was tilled by the election of Matt Abts, and F.J. Gerharz and G. A. Schroeder were selected; Mr. Schroeder succeeding 11. L. Johnson, who had removed from the ward, and F. J. Gerhar. succeeding himself. President Frischhol. was authorized t select live delegates to attend the stfjto meeting of commercial clubs at Kearney the latter part of April, and these will be announced later. After the club adjourned the hoard of directors proceeded to elect olllcera for the following year, as follows: Presi- dent, G. Frischhol.; vice presidents, Carl Kramer, CO. Gray. G. A. Schroeder; secretary, Eilert Mohlman; treasurer, G. W. Phillips. Before the adjourn- ment of tlie club a motion was unani- mously carried instructing the directors to re-ele- ct President Frischhol. and Se- cretary Mohlman, aud this was carried out by the board. Congregational Church. Dante in his wandering in bell saw au entrance over which were these words. "All hope abandon ye who enter here." He asked Virgil what it meant. "It means the home of the soul to misery abandoned." Such, however, is not a normal soul. God has put iu the soul universal the star of hope. When the seven classic philosphers were holding a banquet together it was asked of them, "What is the most univer- sal possession?" The possession agreed upon was hope, for said they, "He that hath nothing else has hope." A crew of fifteen men once left a burn- ing ship at mid-Pacifi- c. They were thousands of miles from land. They had to leave tbe6hipso hastily that they had not time to take oars, or sail, or any other tackle or gear with which to pro- duce motion. They were only able to snatch away some food and water. They lived six weeks in that boat. The last twenty days they dreamed every night of feasting and awoke every morning to the same starving want, vacant waters and desolate sky. Yet these men never lo6t hope for they preceived from the outset that their boat was ia the current of an equatorial ocean, a current winch those who knew the geography of the sea were aware would slowly but surely carry them at least to land, which it did. Sometimes the patience of hope in the christian life has to lie exercised iu that waj-- . No oar, and no sail; no strength and no light; for many days neither sun or moon, no stars appearing, only the magnet of faith pointing steadily to the Rock of Ages. But we should never forget that the hope which God has put in the soul universal reaches up into a current that surely drifts Godward if we arc only following ite bearing. The pastor of the Congregation nl ehurch will discuss this subject next Sunday evening from the theme: The Man God Created and His Develo- pmentMan and His Immortal Hope. You will be helped by this sermon . The morning theme will be: Christ's Re- quirement. We invite you to share our church services with us. William L. Diublk, Minister. Y. M. C. A. Notes. Watch the columns of this paper for the announcement of "The Whirl o' The Town." This is a home talent play, of sixty characters to be given in the North opera house in the later part of April. Mr. Anderson took twelve of our boys to Monroe on Monday noon of this week to put on a gymuastic entertain- ment in the gymnasium of the Presby- terian church, liev. Beal is trying to arouse interest in the gym work and he asked the Columbus association to send some of its athletes to show what is be- ing done iu Columbus. The program given for railroad men on last Friday evening was much apprecia- ted. A good number of the men and their families were present nnd enjoyed even the splashing they received ill the swimming pool. These monthly exhibits are showing a steady development on the part of the fellows who take part and a very tleoided improvement in ntbletic ability is noted in all the classes. Our boys at Monroe carried off high honors on Monday evening of this week. An enthusiastic audience greeted and cheered each successive event as the best on the program. The opera house was used and it was crowded to the full The program started with a marching drill in which they formed the associa- tion emblem, the Y. M. C. A. letters, und closed with the cross formation. The dtimbell drill was followed by the pyra- mid building in one of which the ceiling was reached. Following the diving came a talk by llev. Wedge of Genoa in which he spoke of the ideals of the as- sociation represented by the boys and inviting the boys to Genoa for a similar performance. The 100 pound wrestlers carried the house by storm but the lit) pound men caused the audience to fairly raise the roof . The clown boxing event was very amusing and was fully appre- ciated. In the tumbling the work of Leonard Linstrum was especially well received. The program was closed by the torch club swinging by Mr. Ander- son and all decided it to be a Ural class evenings entertainment This is oue of the ways iu which tho Columbus associa- tion can be of service to tho.Mirrounding- towns. The City Council. Besides opening the bids for the uuw chemical truck at the special meetiug Friday evening the city council also re ceived the report of the committee on tire, which included tho nuitual roport a made by tho chief of the lire department. One of the important matters considered was the installation of a lire alarm sys- tem in place of the present one. and this will be taken up mid investigated by the committee and a report made cover- ing what cau be untili.ed here. The of the city for tiro districts, which was also recoinmeuded by the chief, was endorsed and early action will he taken on this. The number of (lis tnetH will be increased to either eight or tt,nanj tua w mHke it much easier for the firemen to locate a lire. Another meeting was held Monday evening to further consider the bids on the chemi- cal truck, and also to prepare for the re- port of the committee which goes to Omaha in a few days to witness the test of the new chemical truck recently pur- chased by that city. The following judges and clerks for the spring election, Tuesday. April 1, were named by the council: First Ward Judges, T. S. Jaworski, Robert Uirschbrunner, G. Frischholz; clerks, M. C.

Theamount of bonds recommended for theintersections was $15,000, winch thecommittee believed would be sufficientand for the sewer the same amountwould he required.

vide for this and in addition to the otherrecommendations was one for issuing

15,000 for city hall purpurea should thebill become a law. The committee

Xet Saturday, April 1st, the fishingseason opens, and already several largecamping outfits aro making ready to beon the ground as soon as the law will

)Krmit. It appears a hardship lo thereal fisherman, who never goes beyondthe rod and reel to enjoy the sport, tobe compelled to stop in November, justwhen his favorite "pike" are doing all

manner of bait-takin- g stunts. Thereshould lie no closed 6eaeon for the manwho fishes with rod and reel. Butbear in mind that all sportsmen overeighteen years of age must take out alicense. This will cost you one dollar atthe office of the county clerk, and maybe the means of saving yon much troublein case the "bogey" man comes around.

Commercial Club Elect Officers.Tuesday evening the Commercial club

held their annua! meeting for the pur-

pose of electing officers, and also listen-

ing to the reports of the committee ap-

pointed to solict funds enough to com-

plete the amount required for buildingthe roads between the city and thePlatte river bridge.

The chairman of the soliciting com-

mittee not being present, a report was

made by the three other members, andthey reported subscriptions to theamount of $810.50, stating that therewere quite a number whom they hadnot seen and that they could withoutdoubt raise the required $1,000. Thisreport was accepted and the committeecontinued until their work was com-

pleted..When the reading of the mitiutes was

completed, 6. A. Schroeder asked thatthe report of the committee on pavingbe amended so as to include Lewis streetfrom the south side of Fourteenth to thealleys south of Eleventh street. Aftersome discussion a motion was carriedincluding Lewis street from the northside of Thirteenth to the alley south ofEleventh in the proposed paving dis-

trict. The committee on paving was al-

so given power to take the matter beforethe city council.

The club authorized the officers toconfer with the county board and requestthem to make formal application for thegovernment expert to build the proposedroad to the Platte river bridge, as theamount of money required was practi-cally assured. The committee first ap-

pointed on securing the government ex-

pert was instructed to sec Mr. Sheldonand find out what the cost of securingthe proper material would be, the neces-

sary gumbo being located on his land,near the proposed road.

Eight directors were then elected fur aterm of three years, two from each ward.James Hancy and W J. Walter wereelected in the First ward; Mr. Haneysucceeding F. J . Kersenbrock, who hasremoved from the ward, and Mr. Waltersucceeding hiniBclf. In tho secoud wardthe two directors wtio3e terms expire.Jacob Greisen and 8. J. llyan, were re-

elected. In the Third ward the prcbontmembers, U. A. Clatke and C. J.Garlow,were also d. In the Fourthward there were three members to elect,one to till the vacancy caused by theremoval of S. B. Gregg. Thcvacaucywas tilled by the election of Matt Abts,and F.J. Gerharz and G. A. Schroederwere selected; Mr. Schroeder succeeding11. L. Johnson, who had removed fromthe ward, and F. J. Gerhar. succeedinghimself.

President Frischhol. was authorizedt select live delegates to attend thestfjto meeting of commercial clubs atKearney the latter part of April, andthese will be announced later.

After the club adjourned the hoard ofdirectors proceeded to elect olllcera forthe following year, as follows: Presi-

dent, G. Frischhol.; vice presidents, CarlKramer, CO. Gray. G. A. Schroeder;secretary, Eilert Mohlman; treasurer,G. W. Phillips. Before the adjourn-

ment of tlie club a motion was unani-

mously carried instructing the directorsto re-ele- ct President Frischhol. and Se-

cretary Mohlman, aud this was carriedout by the board.

Congregational Church.Dante in his wandering in bell saw au

entrance over which were these words.

"All hope abandon ye who enter here."He asked Virgil what it meant. "Itmeans the home of the soul to miseryabandoned." Such, however, is not anormal soul. God has put iu the souluniversal the star of hope.

When the seven classic philospherswere holding a banquet together it was

asked of them, "What is the most univer-

sal possession?" The possession agreedupon was hope, for said they, "He thathath nothing else has hope."

A crew of fifteen men once left a burn-

ing ship at mid-Pacifi- c. They were

thousands of miles from land. Theyhad to leave tbe6hipso hastily that theyhad not time to take oars, or sail, or anyother tackle or gear with which to pro-

duce motion. They were only able tosnatch away some food and water. Theylived six weeks in that boat. The lasttwenty days they dreamed every nightof feasting and awoke every morning tothe same starving want, vacant watersand desolate sky. Yet these men neverlo6t hope for they preceived from theoutset that their boat was ia the currentof an equatorial ocean, a current winchthose who knew the geography of thesea were aware would slowly but surelycarry them at least to land, which it did.Sometimes the patience of hope in thechristian life has to lie exercised iu thatwaj--

. No oar, and no sail; no strengthand no light; for many days neither sunor moon, no stars appearing, only themagnet of faith pointing steadily to theRock of Ages. But we should neverforget that the hope which God has putin the soul universal reaches up into acurrent that surely drifts Godward if we

arc only following ite bearing.

The pastor of the Congregation nl

ehurch will discuss this subject nextSunday evening from the theme: TheMan God Created and His Develo-pmentMan and His Immortal Hope.You will be helped by this sermon . Themorning theme will be: Christ's Re-

quirement. We invite you to share ourchurch services with us.
