-The telephone business is becoming very common in this city. People are communicating with each other from business funnel, set in a cigar box. house to business house, from drug store to doctor shop, In going into a store, some one is heard to say in a loud voice, "who's at the other end of this string?" "Give us a song," This will invariably take a stranger by surprise, causing one to think that people are becoming very familiar on short acquaintance. Of course explanations will follow, but there is where the inconvenience of the telephone comes in. Besides it gives a person rather a comical appearance to be caught alone talking to a -The most important business transacted by the Council on Monday evening, was passing an ordinance providing for collection of a license tax on express wagons, passing resolutions ordering sidewalks to be built along the west side of street from 11th to the bottom, and ordering a crossing to be put between 11th and 12th streets, along the west side of street.

A resolution was offered ordering the removal of the postoflice building from the southwest corner of Frankfort square and was referred to committee on public property. Councilmen Pohl, Baker and Kavanaugh, are such committee. Numerous bills were also allowed.

H. B. Taylor, of Oinaha, has opened out a first-class shooting gallery in Lamb's building next, door to Ed. Sheehan's. He has three of the very best guns in the country.

The building is neatly fitted up for the business, and Indians on horses, roosters and bell targets' are put up in good shape. There is no bar or drinking allowed in the establishment. Mr. T. says that at other places where he has had his gallery, ladies very frequently take a hand and practice shooting.

This is certainly a very harmless and pleasant amusement when unaccompanied by gambling and drinking. Small Business. During the past week Mrs. Brigham had occasion to advertise her Musical Entertainment, and desired to have a frame hung up in the new postoffice building. The deputy P.M., Joe Post, would not allow the notice to be put up unless fifty cents was paid down for the privilege.

What right has this deputy to charge for such privileges? If he doesn't receive any salary, and is forced thus to extort fifty cents from home entertainments, then we would advise him to quit and hunt the lumber woods. This is the smallest business we have yet heard of in our city. We expect to be able to record better things of this young man asa public official. Penny grabbers can mores sucoeed as, officeholders.

The Hydro-carbon retort, a patent heating and luminating apparatus, has been introduced into several houses this week in Columbus. The parties holding the right to manufacture and sell this contrivance in this State all live in this city and are among the oldest and best business men in this part of Nebraska.

Guy C. Barnum, Leander Gerrard, M. Whitmoyer, W. N. McCandlish, and several others who have bought the right of this State have shipped over a thousand dollars in oil, retorts, and other necessary material for its introduction, and have taken ether preparatory steps for its manufacture and sale on a large scale.

As these men have been cautious and farseeing in all business enterprises which they have heretofore engaged in, they certainly know what they are about. If this simple contrivance can be put to the economical uses the; claim for it, our present system of heating and lighting houses will be revolutionized as soon as the public is convinced of this fact. Mr. Gerrard and Mr. Schupbach, of th'e place, have introduced them into their own dwellings, and those who desire to see what they are, will now have the opportunity.

If anybody's crop should be destroyed or injured by hail this season, it will be nobody's fault, but the man who sustains the loss, as Gus Becher is ready to insure against this contingency. Call on him. J. A. Baker sells shoes cheaper than any other house in Columbus.

Police Court Courtesies. David Maloy incorporated more of the "ould into his carcass than his legs would support without monopolizing the entire sidewalk, and was taken and lodged in Spilman's hotel for the night. The court consulted the statutes and finding that Ditvid's lodging at this popular house WIN worth $7.45, he was dismissed with the admonition to be capable hereafter of selecting his own boarding house. Billy Grant was also in town Tuesday, and was deeply agitated in mind over school matters in his district, and had it not been for meeting an old, treacherous acquaintance that never fails to exert a controlling and confusing influence over Billy, the probability is that he would have stopped brooding morosely over the educational interests of has district, and gone home at night convinced from sober reflection that human ture is human nature everywhere. But Billy confided too much in his old friend "Bust Head," and before night he chafed and agonized terribly under the hallucination that a horde of deriding "school marms" had surrounded him and were old rooster is drunk again, and we are left to run the school." Finally, with the assistance of the City Marshal, Billy was assigned quarters in the county hotel where he rested oblivions to all things temporal or eternal until next morning, when he was brought before Judge McAllister, who claimed of Billy the small sum of $7.50, for occupying the sidewalks of the city to the disturbance of the peace and dignity of the city.

Michael McCullom was another of the sorrowful and disappointed, who discarded an old acquaintance more than a year back, but meeting him here Tuesday at several places in the city some how or other, Mike experienced a deep contrition welling up in his heart when he saw others so freely cultivating the acquaintance of that same old friend that had so often deceived him years ago back in Illinoise, and feeling that it was wrong not to forgive and forget old grudge, he resolved to trust "old crow" once more. The greetings were too overwhelming, however, for emotiolal natures like Mike's, and he soon exhibited signs of muscular relaxation which could only be steadied and stayed by the invigorating hash and atmosphere of Spilman's Hotel. The Judge thought night's lodging there was worth $7.50, and after admonishing him against falling a vietim to a depraved appetite bade him depart to his rural possessions.
