The Knights of Pythias are arranging to give one of their old-time annual floral balls on Easter Monday and are leaving nothing undone that would tend to make the occasion a big success. Handsome bouquets and other decora tions are being prepared, tho best of music has been secured, and it is the in tention of the order to make it the crowning event of the season. A cor dial invitation is extended to the mem bers of neighboring lodges and the pub lio in general to aid them in the celebra te o! their annual Jubilee. A very pleasant scene occurred at the court bouse last Friday morning. On that day C. S. Handlon, the janitor, was 71 years old and the “boys” in the several offices thought it meet and proper to make him a present to show their appreciation of his services. They selected for their gift a rocking chair, which wae presented to him by the spokesman of the party, who made a few suitable remarks. The recipient thanked the boys for their expressions of good will and appears since then to be about ten years youngerr The 13-year old son of Si. Buck, who lives near Ewing, had his head blown off by the accidental discharge of a shot gun yesterday. It appears that the boy was out with the hired man aft&r hay, having with him one of the old type muzzle loaders, which he was in the habit of carrying when away from home. The gun was loaded but to ward against accidents a cap was never put on until he was ready to use it. The boy picked it up from the wagon and had the muz zle within a few inches of his face when it was discharged, blowing the whole top of his head off. Alliance Times: Mr. Barney Ryan, the gentleman who will succeed Mr. Stewart as manager of the Alliance Gro cery Co., arrived the first of the week from O’Neill. He is manager of the es tablishment of the same firm there, and will probably only remain here a few months until Raymond Bros. Clark Co. can make other arrangements. Mr. Ryan is a pleasant appearing gentleman, and doubtless qualified for the position in every way. He will not move his family here as his residence is to be only temporary. Banks Stewart has been with Raymond Bros, more thnn eighteen years and they state that it is with re gret they lose him. A delegation of the members of the Independent Workmen of America of thie city consisting of Neil Brennan, C. W. Hagensick, Mike Kir win, P. F. Thompson, T. Walmer, H. R. Henry, James McCoy and S. F. McNich ols, went out to Paddock last Friday evening and assisted their brethern there in initiating nine new members. They report an enjoyable time and say that as entertainers the members of Paddock lodge, 1. W. of A. are unexcelled. Ev erything that could possibly be done for the comfort and en joyment of the visitors was well looked to, and the onlv regret expressed was that they could not remain longer with their river brethern. Sioux City Times: Lincoln, Neb., March 29,—Attorney-General Smyth is preparing a motion to present to the supreme court for a rehearing in the Eugene Moore case. To a great extent the motion will follow the lines marked out in the dissenting opinion by Judge Sullivan, but will go further and con trovert the idea that the law is uncon stitutional, as declared in Commissioner Irvine’s opinion. He will ask for a more full consideration of the question In the matter relating to fees, and will, to sustain his position, set out to the court that both the statutes and the constitution require the auditor to turn all the fees paid to him over to the state treasurer, that the money paid by the insurance companies was paid as the property of the state, and that by retain ing it Moore was embezzling money from the state. It is expected that the motion will be presented at the next sitting of the court. The ladies of the Presbyterian church have been busily at work for weeks preparing for a sale of fancy and useful articles, aprons, sunbonnets, underwear etc., to be held the afternoon and even ing of April 0, the last Saturday in Lent.

A synopsis of the report of the board of inquiry in the Cuban situation will be found on our “patent insides." And while it is fairly explicit, yet it did not thoroughly court a declaration of war or fix the Maine disaster upon the Span ish government. However, L) uncle Sam in behalf of suffering humanity has ex pressed intentions of recognizing the independence of the island, and it will only be a matter of a few days before the war cloud will cease to hover over suffering Cuba or the cowardly Span 'HrH'j TCiV have to fight. Dr. C. V. Crooks, the well-known specialist of the east, now located at Fremont, Neb., will be in O’Neill April 5, 7, 8 and 0. Dr. Crooks is highly recommended by all the leading physi cians of the state, and has no superior in the treatment of nervous diseases, diseases of women and chronic diseases. His treatment of consumption is the best known to medical science. Piles positively cured without a knife or detention from business. Dr. J. U. CrabbB, of Fremont, Neb., says: “Dr. Crooks possesses the best line of treat ment of any specialist in the west. His work in Fremont has been highly suc cessful, and 1 recommend him to any one needing the services of a skilful and learned physician.” Do not fail to see this eminent specialist while he is in the city. In company with Dr. Crooks will be Dr. Stuckey, the most skilled and successful eye specialist that has ever visited the west. His methods of diag nosing and treating cases of ametropia are the beBt known to the profession. His visit will give-those having eye trouble the opportunity of obtaining the services of an expert without the trouble and expense of a visit to a large city. Consultation free. April fool frolics have started rather early in O’Neill this season and the suc cess which has accompanied a few jokes bids fair to make them very numerous before the end of the week. A certain young man in this city who has lived almost 3.7 years in single blessedness was struck last week with a happy thought. He determined to fool his relatives, and especially one of his sis ters who was continually joking with him on the matrimonial question, so he proceeded to the printing office and ordered a fine wedding card printed, announcing his marriage on April first to Miss-. This card he sent to the aforesaid sister, at the same time notifying his mother of the loke. The announcement was taken in earnest by the sister whom he desired to fool, and Bhe wrote him stating that presents would be at once forwarded. His mother of course not wishing to have them invest in wedding presents when there was to be no wedding, told them that it was an April joke. It appears that then the sister decided that she would turn the tables upon him, or at least attempt to. The aforesaid young man, being in business, was in the habit of receiving express packages, and therefore was not surprised when a package came to his address Wednes day evening upon which the . charges were not paid. He accepted the pack age, paid the charges, and upon open ing it found three rotten lemons. Sev eral friends who were aware of the joke he bad played upon his relatives were present when he opened the package, and of course it is uunecessary to add that he was given the horse laugh. He had the joke neatly turned upon him, and will probably be a little leary before again attempting to fool the folks. BUTTEB AND EGGS WANTED. Bring us your butter and eggs.
