PITC HER'S CASTORIA THE KOTO YOU HAVE ALWAYS BOUGHT V -, ■ a ; * j Ewing Advocate: On Uat Mondays morning during a fit of despondency cause by practrscted term of ill-health, Elax Miller, jr., living a few miles east of town attempted to commit suicide by cutting his throat with a packet knife. Dr. Mastin was summoned to connect the severed parts of his throat and with the use of a needle and a dose or two of his own particular “mix-up” for such cases, the unfortunate need not neces sarily be classed with the fatal list. B. J. Ryan and family left today for Nellgh where they will make their future home. Mr. Ryan, assisted by capitalists in this city and the east will open a bank at Neligh tomorrow. The people of Neligh are to be congratulated upon having a business man like Mr, Ryan at the head of her banking institution. He is a first-class business man with un-, limited capital at his command and will make the bank one of the leading finan cial institutions in the Eikhorn valley. We wish him success. The Fonda Review relates that one of the prettiest girls of that town went into one of the drug stores there the other day and asked the very polite clerk how to take a dose of castor oil so as not to taste it. The clerk gave her a glass of soda water. After she drank it she was asked if she tasted castor oil. ‘‘Why no.” said she, "did you put a dose in the soda water?” “Yes,” said the clerk. The pretty girl blushed and tarried just long enough to say, "I didn’t want the oil for myself; 1 wanted it for mother.” Halloween passed off quietly in O’Neill. A special force of police was placed on duty and the list contained one who years ago was a terror to evil doers in the Southern States when he was a member of a famous detective bureau. Monday night he was provided with a multiplicity of disguises and kept his eagle eye peeled for mischev ous youngsters. Along toward the witching «hour of midnight the boys corailed him in a pig sty and kept him prisoner for a few hours and finally al lowing him to depart on his way upon his promise to be good. Exchange: Last week a man slipped up to us and said he would pay us every cent he owed us if he lived until Saturday night. We presume the man died. Another man said he would pay us in a day or two as sure as were we ever born. Query: Did the man lie or were we ever born. Another man said he would settle as sure as shooting. We are lead to the conclu sion that shooting is not very certain. Another hoped to go to the devil if he did not pay us in three days. Haven’t seen him since, suppose he is gone, but trust he has not hoped in vain. Quite a number said they would see us tomor row. They have been stricken blind or else tomorrow has not come. One man said he would pay us as soon as he got some money. This man did not lie, so he has not had a cent since. Sioux City Times: One Interesting rumor respecting the future of the Pacific Short Line makes it appear the Chicago and Northwestern also has its eye on the road now practically within the possession of J. Kennedy Todd & Co./of New York. The rumor is that the northwestern people wouia oe giaa to own the line and make it a part of the Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley. It is said they are encouraged in their desire by the Cudahy Packing company, to which corporation the Northwestern never turns a deaf ear. "It is a well known fact that the Oudahvs are not getting half the cattle they want in Sioux City,” said a man well informed as to the situation. "The principal season for this is that they cannot get range cattle enough' The Elkhorn runs into the heart of the range country but the proportinate rate de manded by the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha is so high that it really amounts to a discrimination against Sioux City and in favor of Omaha. If the Pacific Short Line were to become a part of the Elkhorn system I believe fully 90 per cent of the range cattle, which now are now hauled by that line into Omaha, would be shot across from O’Neill into Sioux City. It must be remembered too, that the Northwestern owns a bridge across the j Missouri river at Sioux City, and wouid have no tolls to pay." A railroad official who had heard the | rumor said he would not be at all sur prised if the Northwestern should swal low up the Sio'ux City, O’Neill and Wes tern. It is possible, he said, that Sioux City might be made the eastern terminus of the Elkhorn and the headquarters of the road might be removed from Omaha to Sioux City. Bean the _/f The Kind You Have Always Bought NEBRASKA’S SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR RELATIVES UNION. Nelson, Neb., October 18,1888. The friends of the soldier boys now in the field h&ve organized the Nebraska Spamsh-Amerlcan War Relatives Union for the purpose of looking after the welfare of the soldiers away from their homes, to the end that arrangements may be made with the war department whereby donations from friends maybe transported to their camps, and that the isame shall be prepared so as to reach the boys on or before Christmas, and that this arrangement may be com pleted and each company and soldier receive his gifts at the same time. We name James D. Gage, A. A. G., Lincoln, Neb, as forwarding Agent, and ask him to give instructions as to size and kind of boxes, when and where to ship, and what should be excluded from the consignment. I accept the above duty on behalf of the Grand Army of the Republic and enter upon my duties by issuing this circular. The donations for the boys in the 1st Regiment must be prepared at once so as to reach them at Manila by Christ inas, and must be shipped by November 15. That for the 3d must be shipped by December 1. The friends of the boys at each home station must organize and communicate with me at once. The following towns are the home stations of the 1st regi ment: « A, York; B, Fullerton; 0, Beatrice; D, Lincoln; B. David City; F, Madison; Q, Geneva; H, Nelson; I, Bennett; K, Columbus; L. Omaha; M, Broken Bow. 8d Regiment: ^ A, Lincoln; B, Plattsmouth; C, Omaha; D, Omaha; E, Blair; F, Fre mont; G, Wakefield; H, Stromsburg; E, Hastings; L, Indianola; M, O’Neill. BOXES. Each soldiers should be sent a box not larger than 18 inches in length, 8 inches deep, made of pine. These exact dimensions should be followed when possible for convenience of re packing in shipping case, which should be made of good inch pine lumber, well bound, and lined on the inside gllth waterproof building paper, and should be 40 inches long, 89 Inches wide, 40 inches deep, and will hold juBt 50 small bexes. The small boxes will have name and company of the soldier it is intended for; the packing case, name of the com pany and regiment plainly marked, Notify me when it is ready to ship. CONTENTS OB'BOX. Of course, persons are permitted to inclose in the boxes what they choose. It is suggested, however, that, owing to the distance, change of climate, and length of time occupied in shipment, care should be taken that nothing what ever be sent of a perishable nature. Of edibles, fruit cake, preserves, jellies, or any canned goods may be sent, but no fruit or cooked food of any kind other than that named above should be in cluded, for the reason that it would not only spoil, but would taint other ar ticles contained in the large package. Clothing and trinkets of any kind may be sent in safety. I suggest that each box might con tain 2 undershirts, all wool; 2 pairs of drawers, all wool; 0 cotton stockings, 6 colored handkerchiefs, 6 medium-sized Turkish towels, hair brush, comb, tooth brush, one dozen needles, one spool of black linen thread, one dozen pants buttons, one dozen pearl shirt buttons, one small pin cushion and pins, one dozen stamped envelopes, six of them directed'to the mother or dear friend of the soldier, one quart of home-made pickels, one quart of cherries, one pound of fruit cake, one pint of grated horseradish. The committee at each company station is asked to see that each soldier in the company receives a box, whether be has friends in the community or not. If this is done no soldier will be slighted. This work must !.be done by the com mittee at home station, and attended to at once. If not, then the boys from that station will be left out in the cold. The members of the G. A. R. are ex pected to lend a helping hand. Who knows better than they the benefit de rived from such work. Address me at Lincoln on all matters pertaining to this patriotic work. James D. Gaos, Assistant Adj utant General. THE BEST PLASTER. A piece of flannel dampened with Chamberlain’s Pain Balm and bound pn to tbe affected parts is superior to ^ny plaster.

Vote for L. Butler and 0. W. Moaa. Vote the entire republican ticket and you can rest assured that you have done your duty. The republican rally at Chadron at which the writer and John Shirring were present was one of the finest meet* ings we ever attended. Mr. Shirring was honored by being given a position on the stage at the left of Senator Thurston and after the meeting was over, i n company with the senator 1 received the congratulations of many of Chadron’s foremost citizens. We will always hare a warm spot In our heart for the Chadron boys and can assure them that should they at any time favor O’Neill with a visit we will try and make it agreeable for them. The editor accompanied John Skirl ing on a visit to Chadron last Sunday evening where on Monday night we heard Hon. John M. Thurston deliver an address to an audience of about 1,000 moat of whom were voters of Dawes county, We have heard the senator many times but we believe that his address last Mon day night was one of the finest he ever delivered and the tremendous applause that greeted the speaker throughout was evident that.the vast audience approved his remarks. His speech was a logical ond convincing one and he demonstrated to the people how the democratic mem berf of the senate obstructed the ad ministration in many measures that were introduced looking toward the welfare of the American people. He also de monstrated to his auditors the necessity of electing republican congressmen and members of the legislature and senate who would send a republican to the United States senate from Nebraska and several in the audience who were formerly populists said after the speech that they now plainly discerned the light and would henceforth vote the straight republican ticket. It was a great speech and made many converts and we believe that if the senator oould cover the entire state the republican majority would be SO,000. He spoke in Norfolk Tuesday night. ASK HUGH O’lYBILL. (Oommunclated.)

Yours for low prioas and square dealing, ' , , O'Neill Grocery Co., i I F.M. RAYMOND, Mngr. ! have them satisfactorily answered before t you promise to support him in the com* ins; election. Start by asking him what his politics is anyway; and if so, bow . long has he been of that mind. If be ^ says he is a populist ask when he was con* y verted or baptised. Then ask him how it happened that he stumped Holt county against Hon. J. P.|Mullen when that gentleman was sunning for trees* urer in Holt county, and supported V Barrett Scott. Mullen, you know, oe copied the same position in this district y once that O’Neill now aspires todis* • grace. If he says he is a populist it will naturally follow that he is a reformer. That being true ask him how It happen* ed that he owed Defaulter Scott, of Holt county, |150 for which he gave his promise to pay which promise, like many others made by him, has not been redeemed up to the . present writing. If he says he hasn't the money to liqul* date this little obligation, .then ask him M why he hasn’t delivered that colt, in payment, as he promised Mrs. 8cott he would do. Ask him if he doesn’t know that under the laws of the state of Ne* braaka it is a penitentiary offense for a man to borrow money from h oounsy "~ treasurer. Ask him if he thinks Scott would ever have been a defaulter if 4 people had not borrowed his money, y ' and then ask him if he thinks Scott -y would have ever been lynched if he had not been short in his accounts with the ■ Bounty. Ask him if he does not belong >-• /; to the vigilantes, (he will hardly deny ,i. (Continued on page eight.) INVESTIGATE!
