change Ideas ace the Circus
and Attend a Banquet
The second annual meeting of the
Elkhorn Valley Editorial Association
held at ONeill last Saturday June 4
will go down in history as one of the
most pleasant occasions in the exper
ience of the newspaper men present
About twenty five members of the
association were present and the peo
ple of ONeill entertained them
peruiy ine town was thrown wide
open for the benefit of the bhoys and
everything from the visit to the court
house to the banquet in the evening
was finer than silk ONeill people
it is said are all Irish If that Js a
fact we are now willing to fight and
bleed not for Irelands independence
but for its annexation to the United
Stales ONeill has more pretty girls
more big hearted men and better eat
ables than any other town in the state
except Valentine
The western contingent of the As
sociation was met at the train by
Messrs Cionin Jenness and Weekes
and piloted to the Evans Hotel after
which the association held a business
meeting at the opera house presided
over by Bro Barker Secy Reinert
was not present so the minutes of the
last meeting were read by Robert
Good1 who after their adoption
nominated Ernest W Julian for tem
porary secretary Bro Julian was
elected by a unanimous vote Mayor
Charley Davis then welcomed the ed
itors to ONeill in a neat speech and
was followed by P B Wilson of the
John Robinsons circus who invited
the editors to attend the show in the
afternoon The invitation was ac
cepted
After the boys had paid their -as
for the ensuing year T V Golden
made a short talk followed by Edgar
Howard president of the state asso
ciation who spoke principally on the
Exposition and the newspapers Elec
tion of officers resulted in C C Mc
Hugh of the Holt County Independ
ent being made president Ernest W
Julian Chadron Journal vice- presi
dent G A Mile3 Ainsworth Home
Rule secretary treasurer The as
sociation will meet in Ainsworth
next year Several working com
mittees were appointed and the offer
of a lot on the Longpine Chautauqua
grounds was accepted The following
resolutions were adopted at the ban
quet in the evening
Resolved That we the members of the Elk
horn Valley Editorial Association extend our
heartiest thanks to Brothers Mcllugh of the
Holt County Independent andCronin of ONeill
Frontier and the committee on arrangements
for the pleasant greeting they have given the
association and the hard work they have done
to make its second annual meeting a success
to Mayor Davis for extending to us the freedom
of the city which we have used to the utmost
to Messrs Weekes and Jenness who could have
made us happier only bv giving us all final
proof notices to the Evans Hotel and its genial
proprietor for the cordial reception given us
and 10 the manager of Old John Robinsons
Lircus who so kindly invited us to attend his
show in all its departments free of charge
Resolved further that we extend our sincere
sympathy to those brethren of the press who
failed to he present at this meeting thus miss
ing one of the mot pleas lit oases in the desert
of editorial existence

We attended the circus and saw
everything from the fret- exhibition to
the concert and at 8 oclock repaired
to the banquet hall The spread there
was simpiy immense The elite of
the town turned out
to liouor the news
paper men and a splendid musical
program was rendered Judge Kin
kaid officiated as toastmaster and wit
wisdom and wine flowed freely Ten
of us missed the west bound train and
stayed over to see Judge Morris water

was a sight worth going miles to see

Gazette

union will be held this year July 12 13
14 and 15 A meeting of delegates
from the different posts in this section

tainly said the man if he will Mc
Parand work in his place while gone
This was done and the boys all got
around in time for the show After
the performance they discussed the
merits of the actors and Julian re
marked I think Davis the best one

the sife show who was gone on the

and called to a comrade Ketcham
