"I have two excellent reasons for doing the balk of my advertising in the Journal" said a Columbus mer- - chant the othur day. "In the first place, if I had not seen your sworn statement of circulation I would still know that the Journal had much the largest circulation of auv Oolumbns cnewspaper. Yon have not only add-e- d the lists of the Times and the Argus to that of tte Journal, bat .yon have spent monny to solicit sub- scriptions in order to give ns a good avertisiug medium. My second rea ' son for giving my firpf support to the Journal is the manner in which by yonr own unsupported efforts yon have cleared np the newspaper situa- tion here ly reducing the number of English newspapers from four to two, saving the merchants nnd citizens of Oolumbns hundreds of dollars a year. You did not spend your time on the streets knocking on our competitors and telling us how soon they would lie sent to the poor bouse, bur you went about it in a fair oourteons and business mauuer, consolidating those papers which pood sense suggested should be consolidated. By Ibis means you have banished the name "uewspa)Hir crave yard" from Co- lumbus and made the .Tonrnal not only the most valuable advertising 'medium for all who wants their oHVrs to bo seen by Platto county people, but you have also made the Journal a factor for good in the en- tire business social and political life of Oolunbns nnd Platte county."

Reeder of this city died in the United States Hospital at Colon. Panama on. July 10 of malaria and the bodv will be brought to Columbus for burial by the government. This was the sad news which was telegraphed to Mrs. Reeder last Tharsday night. When the message reached here Judge and Mrs. Reeder were in Omaha where the contents of the telegram were communicated to them by tele- phone. Elmer Smith was born in Colum- bus on February 12. 1870. He re- ceived his earlier education in the Columbus schools and formed many life-lon- g friendships among the young people with whom he grew np. Af- ter completing his studies in Colnm- bus he entered the University of Illi- nois where he graduated from the Civil Engineering department. He entered the field of aotive engineering work at once, going to Nicaraugna about five years ao to assist in the canal survey. Upon the completion of his work there be returned to the north and went to work for the Bur- lington railroad. His experience in the canal survey in the south however had made his services valuable to the government and be was called by the Panama Canal Commission to go to Panma in the very beginning of the government's preliminary work on the .isthmus. By the exercise of in- dustry and good judgment he had risen ro cue position oi assistant en- gineer and was intrusted with some of the most important work in the canal zone. He was stationed at Gatun seven miles from Colon, where some of the most difficult work on locks and dams is being done and he hail patented a device to be used in the construction of the dams which had attracted wide attention in en gineering circles and in the working out of which the ambition of his life seemed to be centered. Mr. Nichel tho chief engineer had in Photography . at HELWIG'S Successor to McAllister btudio Columbus, Nebr. so much faith in the dovice that he declared his beliof that it Mtlved the difficult engineering problem at Gatun and he was intendiug to go to Wash- ington with Elmer next month to take up the matter witft the commis- sion. Elmer had planned to visit Colnm-bu- B next month and the first intima-to- n of his ill-heal- th which reached his relatives here was a letter received by Judge Reeder about the 10th of July from a friend of Elmer's which enclosed a letter from Elmer and one to Mrs. Reeder from a nurse in the hospital stating that Elmer had un dergone an operation for on June 21) but that he was doing nicely and would soon be able to re- sume work. The next word received was the message Thursday announc- ing his death. Monday Mrs. Reeder received a letter written by her broth- er on Jnly 5 in which he declared that the physician iu charge had told him that considering the operation he was recovering with remarkable rapidity and the whole tone of his letter was unusually cheerful. Elmer Smith was always most con- siderate of his sister, Mrs. Reeder with whom he made his home much of the time ".ill twelve years ago, and she as well as all the children have many valuable gifts as loye tokens from him. Elmer Smith is survived only by his aged father who resides in San Diego and Mrs. Reeder. The father on account of his extreme age was not notified directly but through a letter written by Judge Reeder to a cousin who resides in the 6ame city The body will be taken by ship to New York and will be brought here by the quickest route by rail. of to 4 ISO liilibon tie 1.75 Ribbon ti 2.00 2.00 2.00 1.50 2.00 at all be the I of Mid-Summ- er Wear in Shoes I .l08. iVmte Canvas Oxfords Kibbnn tie. welt solo Ladies Gray Duck Oxfords, Ribbon tie Misses Children's and Infant's White Canvas Oxfords from T0c per pair to Barefoot Sandals from Infants at iTc to Men' at ....... . .iusi received another lot of Ladies' Patent Oxfords in Hiitton and Ribbon ties.

"I have two excellent reasons fordoing the balk of my advertising inthe Journal" said a Columbus mer- -

chant the othur day. "In the firstplace, if I had not seen your swornstatement of circulation I would stillknow that the Journal had much thelargest circulation of auv Oolumbns

cnewspaper. Yon have not only add-e- d

the lists of the Times and theArgus to that of tte Journal, bat

.yon have spent monny to solicit sub-

scriptions in order to give ns a goodavertisiug medium. My second rea

' son for giving my firpf support tothe Journal is the manner in whichby yonr own unsupported efforts yonhave cleared np the newspaper situa-tion here ly reducing the number ofEnglish newspapers from four to two,saving the merchants nnd citizens ofOolumbns hundreds of dollars a year.You did not spend your time on thestreets knocking on our competitorsand telling us how soon they wouldlie sent to the poor bouse, bur youwent about it in a fair oourteons andbusiness mauuer, consolidating thosepapers which pood sense suggestedshould be consolidated. By Ibismeans you have banished the name"uewspa)Hir crave yard" from Co-

lumbus and made the .Tonrnal notonly the most valuable advertising

'medium for all who wants theiroHVrs to bo seen by Platto countypeople, but you have also made theJournal a factor for good in the en-

tire business social and political lifeof Oolunbns nnd Platte county."

Elmer ChurchChurch Smith, brother of

Mrs. J G. Reeder of this city died inthe United States Hospital at Colon.Panama on. July 10 of malaria andthe bodv will be brought to Columbusfor burial by the government. This wasthe sad news which was telegraphedto Mrs. Reeder last Tharsday night.When the message reached here Judgeand Mrs. Reeder were in Omahawhere the contents of the telegramwere communicated to them by tele-phone.

Elmer Smith was born in Colum-bus on February 12. 1870. He re-

ceived his earlier education in theColumbus schools and formed manylife-lon- g friendships among the youngpeople with whom he grew np. Af-

ter completing his studies in Colnm-bus he entered the University of Illi-nois where he graduated from theCivil Engineering department. Heentered the field of aotive engineeringwork at once, going to Nicaraugnaabout five years ao to assist in thecanal survey. Upon the completionof his work there be returned to thenorth and went to work for the Bur-lington railroad. His experience inthe canal survey in the south howeverhad made his services valuable to thegovernment and be was called by thePanama Canal Commission to go toPanma in the very beginning of thegovernment's preliminary work onthe .isthmus. By the exercise of in-

dustry and good judgment he hadrisen ro cue position oi assistant en-

gineer and was intrusted with someof the most important work in thecanal zone. He was stationed atGatun seven miles from Colon, wheresome of the most difficult work onlocks and dams is being done and hehail patented a device to be used inthe construction of the dams whichhad attracted wide attention in engineering circles and in the workingout of which the ambition of his lifeseemed to be centered.

Mr. Nichel tho chief engineer had

so much faith in the dovice that hedeclared his beliof that it Mtlved thedifficult engineering problem at Gatunand he was intendiug to go to Wash-ington with Elmer next month totake up the matter witft the commis-sion.

Elmer had planned to visit Colnm-bu- B

next month and the first intima-to- n

of his ill-heal- th which reachedhis relatives here was a letter receivedby Judge Reeder about the 10th ofJuly from a friend of Elmer's whichenclosed a letter from Elmer and oneto Mrs. Reeder from a nurse in thehospital stating that Elmer had undergone an operation foron June 21) but that he was doingnicely and would soon be able to re-

sume work. The next word receivedwas the message Thursday announc-ing his death. Monday Mrs. Reederreceived a letter written by her broth-er on Jnly 5 in which he declared thatthe physician iu charge had told himthat considering the operation he wasrecovering with remarkable rapidityand the whole tone of his letter wasunusually cheerful.

Elmer Smith was always most con-

siderate of his sister, Mrs. Reederwith whom he made his home muchof the time ".ill twelve years ago, andshe as well as all the children havemany valuable gifts as loye tokensfrom him.

Elmer Smith is survived only byhis aged father who resides in SanDiego and Mrs. Reeder. The fatheron account of his extreme age was notnotified directly but through a letterwritten by Judge Reeder to a cousinwho resides in the 6ame city

The body will be taken by ship toNew York and will be brought hereby the quickest route by rail.
