Quite a number of O’Neillites, accom panied by the band, went down to Page last Friday evening to attend the repub lican rally. There was a very large crowd present. George McHugh was billed to address the meeting. He was there, and delivered an address We do not think there is a fifteen year old boy in Holt county who does not know more about the financial question than he does. As a public speaker he is a failure and should adopt some other vocation, such as “posing,” which,from his actions we presume, he is amply well qualified to fill. In spite of the poor speaking, there was a strong McKinley feeling noticiable, and considerable enthusiasm was developed. If you pick up a paper in any town you will generally find that it baa one good advertiser, whose announcements overshadow all the rest, If you ever go to the town where the paper is pub lished, you will almost certainly find that the advertiser in question over shadows all the other merchants in a business way. We have in mind a man who some years ago started a general store in a little town in Kansas. He hadn’t much money; he laid in a stock with part of the sum he had and the rest he spent for newspaper advertising. There was bat ons littls newspaper in the town, and he used a page of that every week. Today that man has three stores in Kansas, two in Nebraska, and one in Missouri. He advertises tremend ously, and all the year around; he owns every building be occupies and recently paid down $80,000 in cash for a stock of goods he wanted. Advertising made that man.

HOLT UNSJHE PRIZE The "Qomb of tho Hurroot” Viewed by Tkouudl. TBS FSATUBB OF TBS PASAOB Waa tka Salt Canty neat Which Wee Vint Meaty. The float which represented Holt county ia the parade at Omaha last Wed needaj evening carried off first prise: This is quite an honor and distinction for old Holt and the persons who de signed and built It, W. J. Dobbs and O. M. Collins. Theee gentlememare de serving of great credit and the thanks cf the citizens of Holt county, on the victory they achieved. It is a big adver tisement for the county and one that will, no doubt, be productive of much good. The following description of the float is taken from the Omaha Bee: “Holt county's float was allegorical and most cleverley designed and arranged. It represented the Queen of the harvest and her fairy attendants. The float was arranged as a large plat* form, etarrounded by terraces. Around these terraces were arranged In a moat artistic manner the agricultural products of Holt county—corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye, flax and all kinds of grasses. At the front of the float appeared a golden chariot made of the Nebraska flower, the beautiful golden rod, and to this were harnessed a feansvof small Angora goats, thsir silky white coats shining like polished silver. A herald represented by little Tommie Campbell, appeared on the scene and blew a blast, on his trumpet to announce the coming of the queen. A curtain at the rear of the float was parted and the Queen of the -harvest, impersonated by Bertha Wagner, stepped out, mounted the chariot and tapped a silver bell. At : this signal five little sprites, attendants upon the queen, emerged, one after the other, from a monster pumpkin which rested upon the floor at the rear of the chariot. These little lessee were Ruth Rvaas, Rdtth HSU, Dpretta1 Sullivan* Mabel Collins and Hay Campbell. /a page, in the person of Cecil Collins, appeared from the rear of the float and' the picture was complete, The queen ; and fairies were arrayed in the product* of the harvest field, and red and green lights illuminated the beautiful scene. When the lights had burned out the characters disappeared and the scene was re-enacted. All of the little folk are residents of O’Neill, and they acquitted themselves most creditably,’ A faniilar portion of the deooratlons of this float were large picturea of the familar emblems of the ElkhOrn and Northwestern roads, executed in corn, yellow, red and white kernels, embedded in putty. These were In large gilt 1 frames mounted on each aide of the float, and on top of each was a wee porker bolding aloft a silken banner.” THX “OLD MAX” niM nUHL Frxxont, Nib., August 88, *96. Edxtob Tub Fkoktibm—Thinking perhaps i few word* from one who in the earlier days waa "one among you" might poaaibly be of interest to your readers, the “old man” betook himself to the task this afternoon, and while he does not presume to think that he can Instruct he hopes to interest. The first thing, and what really prompted me to ' write, which I will menton is the picnie of former Holt county citizens held at the Chautauqua grounds adjoining Fre mont last week. There were from thirty to forty former residents of Holt county present and they passed a very pleasant day renewing old acquaintances and forming new onss, for sotne were strangers although they had lived together in Holt in former years. An interesting program was rendered in tfie afternoon, after which speeches were made by most of the gentlemen present and some of the ladies. It was a notice able fact that of all who spoke no one had any thing particularly derogatory to say of old Holt, more than that some were glad that they were away. How ever, only one or two so expressed themselves, while a goodly number recalled wjth pleasure many of the earlier incidents of life on her broad praries and thought they might go back and enjoy life there' again. They seemed to realize what I regard as a fact, that a considerable number of the earlier residents made mistakes up there if they resumed residence there and conditions were similar to those of the earlier day, they could avoid and there fore probably do better than before. One particular thing was mentioned, vis: that the attempt to raise corn and the breaking up of what was otherwise good hay land for that purpose was a great mistake. Much of the latter land waa rendered worthless by reason of it’s blowing. Bat you all know that better than we do. Still on title point. Mr. J. P.Hanaon, who mi prevent end invited toepeekto the crowd, eeld that back in Ue aeventiea the heavy clay land* of tide oounty. blew a great, deal and far worn than the heavy land north of O'Neill and extending weat to Aina worth. Mr. Hanaon will be remembered by vour people aa the gentleman who. was recently at O'Neill with Mr. Iriah tite goyernmeat expert on irrigation, andhewentonto any further that he believed there waa a bright fntnre for that country yet, bnt he did not believe Hwoyldcome all together through im* ightlcm, whioh he thought would be alow id* development He expreaaed the bafcef that, the introduction of alfalfa, which waa eapedatiy adapted to that aotl, would work a wonderful change in the conntty and do more than any one thloguelae to maker her broad prariea Moaatpn onee more aa the rone. The wohdarul food propertlee pf alfalfa end its great productlveneaa make it eape* dally dealrable, to aay npthlng of it’a ability to withatandahnoet any amount of dry weather. M/ Hataaon ia largely intereated in Holt county, ia thoroughly in earn eat m aeeing alfalfa introduced into the oounty and Want ao far aa to Intimate that ahoufd condition! change for the better, aa they have promiaea of doing, varloue Fremont people might deaire to take up their teeidence within the conflnea of old Holt, Aa for myaelf, I am free to my that 1 have not yet loat faith that eventually Holt and adjoining countiea on her northern bordera will reoume their old-time activity and life within their botdera will not only be dealrable but withal profitable. ‘ That Ike peaceful ’ puraeit of thoae evo cation! adapted to the country and the faithful and iaduetrloua proaeoution of the aame will bring joy and proaperity to the good people yet within the con fine! of Holt oounty aeemed to be the wiah expraaaed and Implied of the people prevent at the plenie. Pefikape a Hat of thoee prevent may alao be of internet to your readera.Aa tar aa I can remember the following fam ilies wen there: John Bland, 0. 'A. Man villa, O’Neill: J. R. Kennedy, of LpaiitiMt; B^Oackerd, Fraaktaltb, Mm. BfkeV FfcterBeunett of Atkta ion; TOa. Garrett, Iowa precinct: J. A. Shank bad 0. B. Peek, Stuart; Cyrua GHtrwood Doty;. A. K. Goff of Ohambera mu jruur uuiuvic nrTUi. An organisation «u made of a re inion society, by the election of 0. A. Hanvllle, president, John Bland aeo retary and various vioe-president*. It’a abject It merely of a aocial nature and It ■ intended to have a pienio reunion ivery year. There are probably aa many non former Holt oonnty citnane lirinc in Dodge county aa were at thia picnic. A word on thia section may not be uniaaat thia Juncture. Dodge county a conaidered one of the beat in the atate. rhla year the oropa are' good, although >ata were not up to the atandard. I lever saw better corn, unleaa it waa in :he rich bottom* of Iowa, but the toil loea not aeem to me any heavier than the beat of that in Holt county, and with the moiature the reaulta would not m very much different, on the latter than that obtained here. Thia ia a much >lder county than thoae up weat, ia very wealthy, a good place to live, and edu sate a family, but for people who rent Farms it seems to me far preferable that they should go where they can buy Farms for very little more than they pay n rent here, and become owners instead >f tenants. The western counties will in time be aa wealthy proportionately as this and the time may not be very far liatant. Perhaps thia screed is already tlr lome, but it would hardly be complete without a word on politics. From all aver the. atate cornea the most encourag ing reports of enthusiastic support of the grand old party and deflections from the ranke of the opposition are of dally occurrence, if reports are to be believed, in this city the McKinley and Hobart :lub represents the brawn and brain largely of the community, and now has aver eight hundred members. Saturday sight the first rally under its auspices was a grand success. It waa addressed by T. L. Mathews, (not related to Doc.) af Fremont, and his clear elucidation of the financial question from the repub lican standpoint was an effective agent In bringing new recruits to the club, it may seem to Holt county people as pro lumptous but I will make the predict ion that the republicans will lick the Bomblnation out of their boote this year af our Lord 1898.
