Stuart Ledger: In the matter of the make-up of the committees for a Fourth of July celebration in O'Neill the editors of the three papers there constitute the committee on printing.

We have thus far failed to learn wherein he has erred' in conducting state cases, or been guilty of neglecting his duties, or disgraced hia office in any way, shape or form, and heretofore officers who fell not down by the wayside anymore than did - Hr. Churchill have been given a second term. But perhaps he stands in the w|$ of some more ambitious office-seek iirf That of course, is a terrible thing, -hut: It should be overlooked in this case.— Alliance Guide. * We have not laid much about shoes lately because nearly everyone knows we carry the best line in this psrt of the county, but we want to call your atten tion .to some new goods we have just received that are extra nice.

Mann. f The street commissioner has been dtp. ing some work on the streets lately anti taking lota of abuse from the citizens* Douglas street between Third and fourth was plowed up last week and everybody got funny. One sign was posted in the middle of the street, which read, "Hotel Eyans potato patch,’’ and another which said, "Wanted—bids to sow this to mil let.’’ One man would come along with a sack of millet and sow away as though he was paid for it, while over in another corner a man might be seen with a hoe planting potatoes. But Charlie Davis kept plugging away, and now the work bids fair to be a complete success. The street is nicely gradM and is as pretty as a picture. _' McClure’s Magazine tor June contains a little battle study by Stephen Crane that, in its way, is more dramatic and striking than even "The Red Badge of Courage,” the novel by Mr. Crane which is now attracting so much attention both in America and England. It shows, un mistakably, the hand of genius. While presenting with the strictest realism all the grimness of war, it is pleasant, and even humorous, in the denouement. Another bit of most distinguished fiction in the same number is Rudyard Kip ling’s "In the Rukh"—one of Kipling's earlier stories, but also one of his best, relating how that ever-entertaining or phan of the Jungles, Mowgli, made ac quaintance with white men and became a lover. _ R. R. Dickson turned bis valuable law practice over to Judge Benedict, and caused to be tissued the following cir cular leter: O'Nkjll, Nib.. June 4, 1896.

I have closed up my office and will leave for Oakland in a few days, where I shall be pleased to serve any of my clients who have business there. 1 have left my per sonal matters and unfinished business at this place with Judge E. H. Benedict to attend to. To those having business here In the future. I recommend him as a man learned in his profession, of busi ness integrity and worthy your confi dence. He has practiced law for 14 years and I consider any matter placed in his hands will have prompt and care ful attention. Thanking you for past, favors I am yours truly, B. R. Dickson, Attorney.

Dance at the bowery during afternoon and evening. nuvxu PASTY. A farewell party was tendered R. R. Dickson last Saturday night. It was an impromptu, affair, no formal invitations being issued, but at about 9:80 twenty of his gentlemen friends who had heard that a good time eras likely to be had, dropped around to the headquarters and look seats on the ground Aoor of the convention. Refreshments were served at irregular intervals during the evening, and numerous speeches were made by the guests, responded to by Mr. Dickson. Many were the expressions of regret that Mr. Dickson had made up his mind to remove from O’Neill, but the crowd was out for fun and they laughed even in their tears. Some of the boys were sad; they felt the sorrow of the occasion, and said to the dispenser of the amber, "Give me a bowl of wine: 1 have not that alacrity of spirit, Nor cheer of mind, that 1 was won’t to have.” And the wine worked wonders. In the language of the poet: What cannot wine perform? It brings to light the secret soul; it bids the coward Aght; gives being to our hopes, and from our hearts drives the dull sorrow, and inspires new arts. Is there a mith whom bumpers have not taught a Aow of words, a loftiness of thought?’ The meeting continued until old Sol tont a few warning streaks of gray htbwart the easterh horizon, when the boys, and the old fellows who were mixed with the boys, took each his devions way, fully realizing "that there is a great fault in wine; it Arst trips up the feet, It is a cunning wrestler.” It was a happy occasion and the many pleasing Incidents furnishes splendid subject matter for those who delight in reminiscence. The night was Ailed with mirth and laughter, "sermons and soda water tbe day after.” THS WIATHtt. The weather report einee our lMt is eue ie a« follow*, taken by A. U.

W. Smith, of tbit city, which prom* ieee to be t boon to thoee addicted to the tobacco habit, and one of the great* eat novelties ever put on the market. Ite practicability ia very evident to all who are cureed with that obnoxious habit. The caae ii constructed of light material rendering it light and conven ient to carry in the pocket, It can be ad Jutted to open every hour, every two hours, three hourt, etc. The idea was auggetted to the inventor through hie dcaire to graudually reduce and give him such control of the habit ae would enable him to quit without atopping auddenly, and without experiencing that dlaordered body and mind which la alwaya the result of quitting the habit auddenly. By letting the time look to open the cue every hour it reduce* the amount of tobacco ueed fully fifty per cent, and ueing it. eet thue for a few daya will ao regulate the habit u to enable one to change the combination to open every two houra. It can be gradually reduced In tbla manner until the patient find* he hu fall control of the habit, inatead of the habit controlling him. The avitem haa alio adjuatcd itaelf to the new con dition! and that Inaatiable deaire la gone. There la no neceaalty of thou New Year reaolntiona u the will power la not called into uael Aa the invention la aimple and eully adjneted it will be aold at a price which will be aoon eared to the uaer through the amount of tobacco naed, alao through the inconvenience of thoae who alwaya uk yon for a ‘ chew" when they mut yon. Aa a time piece it la worth what It will retail for. It la undoubtedly the moat practical cure ever put on the market, ud we predict for It auoceaa. BBTOBUCAE EEIMABIf.

If you find a pin point towards you Just walk aronnd and pick it up froth the other end. Newtpaperdom: First and foremoat, the man who owe* a newspaper an honest debt-and will not pay it, can be counted as an enemy. The man who wants and office, and complains becaase tbe newspaper will not champion him In preference to all others Is pretty apt to become an enemy. The man who wants to dictate to a paper, and is not allowed to A) so, is a sure enemy. The ruffian and the bully never like a bold and fear less newspaper. The sneak and the coward fear newspapers, and conse quently do not like them. But of all men that a newspaper should dislike, it is tbe man whom it has befriended and assisted, and who proves the Ingrate— who turns his back on the paper after securing all from it possible. We can respect in a certain degree an open and avowed enemy, but the ingrate, never. A BIO OUEABUIO OUT SALS.
