The Dons probably will soon come to their senses and realize that when they attack Uncle Sam they will not have an army of untrained and unarmed soldiers to contend with but men who could give them eight points in a ten-point game and then beat them out. They won’t want to fight. Crawford Tribune: Jimmie Higgins is back in Crawford stopping with his brother Tim.

While the docket is longer than that of last year the increase is in the equity docket and the tenure of the term will be shorter than the last. ▲n exchange hits the nail on the head in the following: “For the special benefit of delinquent* subscribers I would say that you may hive the stars in a nail keg, hang the ocean on a rail fence to dry, put the sky to soak in a gourd, and unbuckle the belly-band of eternity and let the sun and moon out, but don’t think you can escape the place that lies the other side of purga tory if you don’t pay for your paper.

State Superintendent W. R. Jackson and his deputy, C. F. Beck, were in the city last Saturday in attendance upon the farmers institute, and favored this office with a pleasant call. Mr. Jackson is of the opinion that the educational exhibit at the exposition will be of great importance to the people of the state and he would like to receive the co-operation of all educators in order to make this exhibit a great success. It is a good thing, push it along. The consistency of some people is really remarkable. There are in this city three or four people who have been loudly clamouring for war the past two years and now that war clouds appear to be hovering directly above us ready to decend at any moment, these* beliger ent individuals are very eager and anxious to inform the people that they are too old or feeble to fight for their country. But such is always the case, those who talk the loudest are the last to go to the front. “I can say one thing for Chamber lain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea remedy, and that is that it eTcells any proprietary medicine I have seen on the market, and I have been in the practice of medicine and the drug business for the past forty years,” writes J.

I concluded to give it a trial and accordingly procured a bottle. It gaye me prompt relief, and I have the best reason for recommending it very highly, which 1 do with pleasure.’’ For sale by P. C. Corrigan, dtuggist. We understand a certain fruit tree, agent has been around the county the past three or four weeks swindling the gullible farmers. We are of times sur prised that men will be taken in by pltb-tongued individuals. But it seems as* if it will always be thus. If a strang er visits this section he can sell any thing from a darning needle to a thresh ing machine, but if a resident of this country attempts to sell anything they 'refuse to buy. The farmers that pat ronize theae traveling fakirs ought to be .swindled. _ State Journal: The Tennesseean Jubilee Singers met with a hearty re ception at the First Baptist church last evening, almost too hearty, in fact, for the audience was merciless in its recalls. Every available seat was taken in the body of the church and in the lecture room many chairs were brought in to accomodate late comers. The singers had that enthusiasm and spirit in their singing that always makes the songs of slavery days attractive. They re sponded to almost every encore, so that the program was almost triple in length. The Misses Harrington gave a 5 o’clock tea to about twenty of their lady friends last Saturday evening. The fol lowing ladies were present: Mrs. Nick erson, of Valentine, Miss Flo McDonald, of Atkinson, Miss Dickenson, of Teka mab, and the Misses Mae Skirvlng, Maud Hamilton, Lavina Morrow, Leone Skirving, Teas O’Sullivan, Rose Meri thew, Tillie Mullen, Agnes Gallagher, Bee O’Donnell, Susie McManus, Susie Quilty, Nellie Daly, Minnie Daly, Win nie McEnery and Mrs. J.

She had been in the Taylor family, whose farm lies near that town, all these years. She was of the big boned Berkshire variety, was cholera proof, and had not been sick with any disease for more than a quarter of a century. She had raised over 800 pigs, from which enough money had been realized to buy a very fair farm, for they always brought fancy prices. She was buried on the farm, and stones were marked and placed at her grave. Az Perry was in the city Wednesday on bis way home from Omaha where he had been looking after his railroad pro ject. It is the intention of Az and the party he has been negotiating with to build a railroad from O’Neill or Atkin son to Butte, the road to be built this season. Arrangements have progressed so far that a party of Omaha gentlemen will be here next Monday to investigate the project, for eastern capitalists. The party will consist of M. A. Daugherty, £. S. Dundy and H. H. Baldridge, who, if the scheme is feasible, will invest in the proposed road. If this road is built, and tbe indications are that it will be, the people of this city ought to be on the alert so that the road would be built from here instead of Atkinson, or some other point. Let us be ou the alert. Charles O’Neill died at the home of his brother Hugh, at Chelsea, this county, last Monday, after an illness of seven years, of rheumatism and Bright's disease. Mr. O’Neill was one of the earliest residents of this city, for we remember that eighteen years ago he had a law office in a little building that stood on the present site of the old postofflce building, where he remained until 1883 when he returned to Wiscon sin. He had then spent three years in this city. There are none of the old timers but what remember and speak well of Attorney Charley O’Neill. He was born in Inverness, Province of Quebec, Canada, in 1848, and was 55 years old at the time of his death. After leaving this city in 1883, he re turned to his home at Merrill, Wis., where be remained until about three years ago when he returned to Holt county to pass his remaining days with his brother, Hugh. He leaves a wife and and two daughters who reside in Wisconsin. The funeral was held from the Catholic church in this city Monday afternoon the remains being interred in the Catholic cemetary.

O’Neill, Neb., Marchl, 1808. Hall of Modern Woodmen of America, Holt Camp 1710. Whereas: It has pleased the Almighty Ruler of the universe to call from his earthly abode to that one beyond, not made with hands eternal in the heavens, our neighbor, John J. Kelley jr., and Whereas: In his loss we are de prived of a noble and estimable member, the community of a young man of exemplary habits and sterling integrity, ever striving for the betterment of man kind; his parents a dutious and obedient son; brothers and sisters of a kind and loving brother. Resolved, That we, as Woodmen, realizing all these qualities in him our departed neighbor, do tender our heart felt sympathy to his family in this their sad bereavement. Be it further Resolved, That our charter be suit ably draped with mourning for thirty days, that these resolutions be spread upon the records of the lodge and that a copy be presented to the bereaved family. R. R. Dickson. W. J. Dobbs. D. H. Cronin. Hugh O’Neill, the sage of Chelsea, and author of the "Age of Thought," "The New Millennium,’’ and other kin dred works, is at work on a play which he intends having presented for the first time in this city some time this spring. We have been unable to learn the subject upon which the drama is founded, but knowing the nature and character of his previous works we pre sume it will be intended to show up the present social conditions. Hugh has some good ideas but we believe that in the main he is away off, especially upon the financial question. We would sug gest to him that he take a trip to Mex ico, then write a drama with Mexicans as the stars and show how free silver has benefited (?) that country. We believe that if he would make this trip he would never again advocate the free and unlimited coinage of silver. But be that as it may, there is no question but his production will be eagerly watched for in this city, no matter upon what subject he writes.
