She had a severe attack of the grip four years ago, from which she never recovered and which is responsible for her present trouble. The lecture delivered Friday night by Mr. Watson before the teachers’ insti tute was well attended and greatly en joyed by the audience, lie is a lecturer of more than ordinary ability and those of -our citizens who had the pleasure of hearing him felt well repaid. Frank Gallagher, a young man who resides on the Black Bird about 10 miles north of O’Neill, was thrown from a horse Sunday and suffered a fracture of the collar bone. He came to O’Neill In the evening and the fracture was re duced by Drs. Gilligan and Furay. Father Cassidy’s little 10-year old niece, Miss Cullen, who a short time ago arrived from New York for a brief visit, fell Sunday evening and broke her right arm below tiie elbow. The fracture was reduced by Dr. Furay, assisted by Dr. Gilligan, and the young lady is now re covering as rapidly as the nature of the case will permit. At a meeting of the school board last Tuesday night Chever Hazelet tendered his resignation as principal of the O’Neill public schools, giving as a reason therefor that his chicory business would demand his,undivided attention this fall and winter.

The proceeds were about $18. Ghadron Signal: A number of papers in the 15th judicial district are publish ing a call for a judicial convention to be held in O'Neill the 26th. This conven tion, it is said, was called without the knowledge of a majority ot the com mittee by H. M. Bullock, of Bushville. It is given out that the convention will most likely be held at Valentine, which is much nearer the oenter of the district. North Nebraska Eagle: A bashful country gill went into one of our stores one day this week carrying some live chickens. The fowls had their feet tied to prevent their escape and the young woman planed them on the counter. The clerk who waited on her is n cited for his polite manners, but he is not always grammatical, and he smilingly inquired. “Are you sure they will lay there?” “Oh, no sir," she stammered, “they're all roosters.” Friday night’s west bound passenger ran into an open switch at Wisner and ditched three cars. The cars ran up against some freight cars standing on the side track and took the side com pletely out of the coaches.

John Skirvintr and daughters, Sadie and Nellie, were on the train bul escaped, with the exception of a few scratches received by Sadie. O’HEILL BASS BALL The game of ball between O’Neill and Randolph, played on the borne grounds last Thursday afternoon, was the best seen in O'Neill since the days when old Tex and Wilson occupied the pitcher's ‘and catcher's boxes respectively. The grounds were filled with specta tors and the enthusiasm was something wonderful to see and deafening to hear. Nothing happened to mar the pleas ure of the game, except the awful um piring of Frank Dorsey, who had his money staked on the Randolph team' and did bis best to win it. He missed no opportunity to give the Randolph boys the better of the decisions, but for all that our team won out by a score of 7 to 8. Following is the way the game was played: o'null. .

Barney Ryan took a campstool out with him but he was so excited that he couldn’t sit on it. Patridge says there Is a town up in South Dakota with a set of roasters that out roast O’Neill. The field work was simply immense. O’Donnell was good but Holland was out of sight. His one-hand catch was the star play of the game. . John Auten was unusually enthus iastic for Randolph. He bet silver dol lars against aluminum- medals with an O’Neill lady and was so excited lhat be didn’t know the difference. Umpire Frank Dorsey was about as rank as they make them. Captain Mer riman didn’t miss the truth far when-be told him that he never knew'a Dorsey who would give a man a square deal. Harry Dowling sprained his ankle while attempting a slide at second. It was a very painful accident and although he finished the game he was confined to his room for a couple of days afterwards. A voice from the bleachers yelled out to Umpire Dorsey that if he did not let up on his rbugh work the ’ vigilantes would be out in the diamond with a rope. Editor Lohman said the remark made him nervous. Hanley pitched a good game consider ing that he has had no practice this year to speak of. He didn’t fan the boys but he confined their hits so they were easily handled. If the management would give Tim a little more work he would pitch a game plenty good enough. His arm is in better shape than it was seven years ago when be played with O'Neill’s champion team.

O’NEILL MONUMENT Now Riiei Above HU Grave in Holy Sepulcher Cemetery. TRIBUTE OF NUMEROUS FRIENDS HU Career at a Union Soldier and Fenian Leed«r-'-Foand*r of O'Neill. Omaha Bee: For over seventeen yean the grave 0f General John O’Neill In Holy Sepulcher cemetery In Omaha re mained unmarked. By many this was regarded as a reflection on the patriotism of surviving friends, admirers and asso ciates in the movement for the better ment of his countrymen. But bis mem ory was not forgotten, uor was his grave neglected. Some time ago friends of the deceased in Omaha inaugurated a fund to procure a monument in all respects worthy of his memory, and with the assistance of outside admirers their efforts were recently crowned with suc cess. The monument stands at the head of the grave on the northern crest of the cemetery hill. The location is a sightly one. To the east and north miles of the city’s suburbs are within range of the vision. Sodth and west the eye (nay sweep the Pappio valley and the valleys and upland. The monument is a square column of polished grauite, fifteen feet high, resting on two terraced blocks of granite, and beneath is a four-foot foundation of cemented stone. The cap stone is cruciform. On the four squares are emblematic designs—the open hand, the Irish harp, the American eagle and stars. Around these shamrocks twine. On the main base the name '‘O'Neill” is carved in raised letters, and on the front of the monument is the following In scription: GENERAL JOHN O'NEILL. Deroof Ridgeway. Born In Ireland. Murcli 9,18114. Died In Omaha, January 8,1878. By Nature a Brave Man, By Principle a Soldier of Liberty. He Fought with Distinction forHla Adopted Country .and Was Ever Ready to Draw His Sword for Bis Native Land.. To Perpetuate His Memory This Monument was Erected by the Irish Nationalists. GOD SAVE IRELAND. < The lot is surrounded with a granite coping. General O’Neitl achieved distinction in the union army during the war. - Al the breaking out of the rebellion be waa sergeant ma|or of the First cavalry, hav ing joined the army in 1857. He served with McCellan in the Peninsula cam paign, and had a horse shot under him at the battle of Gaines’ mill. Later he joined the Fifth Indian cavalry, serving in Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio, and for gallantry in the famous Morgan raid wai commissioned first lieutenant,(and latei rose to the rank of captain. Trouble some wounds forced him to retire from the army in 1884. , / After the war, ——, with thousands of big countrymen who had just laid down their arms, Oeneral O’Neill rallied around the Fenian standard, and was chosen of the leaders of the projected raid on Canada, The movement crys talized in the early summer of 1866, and rendezvoused on the American border from Buffalo to Ogdensburg. General O'Neill commanded the first detachment of the raiders to set foot on Canadian soil. They crossed Niagara river neat Buffalo, to the number of 600, and captured Fort Erie on June 1. The day following they met the British troopt near Ridgeway, a dozen miles north ol Fort Erie. There were three Britishers to one Fenian, but the desparity in numbers did not prevent them coming together. Some sharp fighting was had. culminating in the rout of the British. O’Neill did not receive the support ex' pected, in fact the movement was with out a governing head on the American side, and was forced to retire in a fee days from Canada. Arrest followed ant the raid collapsed. General O’Neill is best remembered it Nebraska for his efforts in colonizing the state. More enduring than graniti is the prosperous and progressive city it Holt county which he founded anc which bears his name. The best efforti of his later years were in the interest of the peace and prosperity of his coun trymen. He labored zealously to draw them from tho crowded cities to fertili lands, then to be had for the asking Many acted on his advice and struggled through the hardships incident to pioneei farming. Scores of those pioneers ari today rich in the. world's goods, the ripened fruit of their energies directed by General John O'Neill.

Hie rueh for liberty wae well planned and boldly executed. Ball, the old man confined on tho charge of rape, wae the only priaoner beeldee Tierney and Jailor Gibbons did not keep them confined in the cells all of the time, but allowed them the liberty of Hie jail when he was there to watch them: Ball is subject to fainting spells and It was while suffering from an attack of that kind that the prisoner mads his escape. Ball fell over In a faint and while the jailor was administering to his comfort Tierney made a rush for the door. Gib bous realised in a moment what was up and followed hot on his trail and would have overtaken him had he not been at tacked by a vicious dog urged on by Mrs. Tierney. Young Tierney ran across the back yard of his own home —which is next door to the jail—and over to his father's blacksmith shop where two horses, belonging to Martin Gallagher, Were standing. He sprang upon one of them and accompanied by another young fellow, known as “Reck less" Chisholm, upon the other horse, put spurs to the steed and was off like a rocket. The alarm was spread and pursuit given but it was of no avail. They made good their escape. The plans for the flight were well made and caitied out without a bitch. Chisholm, the man who aided in the escape, had been staying at the Tierney residence for a couple of days getting everything in readiness and waiting until such time as fortune might find it convenient to favor the brave. Tierney was being held to answer to the charge of petty larceny, and possibly counterfeiting. » THE TOILS. United State* Attorney A. J. Sawyer and Deputy United State* Marshal Hub bard, were in O’Neill Wednesday on what transpired to be important business, especially to J. W, McLaughln, of O’Neill, who was arrested by the marshal and taken before County Judge Mc Cutcbeon upon the following complaint: United States of Ambhica, 1 Distiiict of Nebraska. f8'8, Before me L. W. Billingsley, United States Commissioner to take bail: On this 10th day of August, 1895, at the city of .Lincoln, in the district of Nebraska, before me L. W. Billingsley, commissioner of the circuit court of the United State* of America, for the said district, come* Donald J. Sinclair, and upon hi* oath complains and say*, that he has good cauie to believe and does believe, that James W. McLaughlin, late of O’Neill, in the county of Holt, in tbe state of Nebraska, on tbe first day of May, 1895, at O'Neill aforesaid, in tbe said district thea and there being, did then and there with tbe design to ab stract the correspondence, and pry into tbe business and secrets of another, un lawfully did take a certain letter, wbicb then lately before had been in tbe post office of the said United States there,and had not been delivered to tbe person to whom the same was directed, that is to say a certain letter directed to one J. A. McLaughlin, at O’Neill aforesaid, con trary to the form of the statute in such cases made and provided. The above is tbe first count of the complaint, which cites four more similar infractions of law, covering the same dates. One of the letters is said to haye contained a valuable package. Mr. McLaughlin was bound over in the sum of 8500 to appear before the United States circuit corut. The defendant !• a young man who has resided near O'Neill for a good many years and has numerous friends. The trouble in this case arose over the simi larity of names, his name being J. W. McLaughlin, and the name on the letter being J. A. McLaughlin. One of the letters contained notice that a suit of clothes had been shipped by express to J. A. McLaughlin. It is said that the defendant in this action took the letter to the express agent, paid the charges and took the clothes. It may be a little early for you to think about ordering a suit but some good salesman representing an eastern firm will drop in on you soon, and prob ably get an order; so we wish to remind you that we have our fail samples from two of the beat custom tailoring houses in Chicago, ranging from $15.00 up, and guarantee as good satisfaction in fit and price as can possibly be obtained from ‘any traveling agent. The same will apply to our whits shirts, underwear, collars, hosiery etc., and we hope you ' will inspect our stock before sending out' of town. Yours respectfully, 6-1 J. P.
