Captain Fisher, of Chadron, is being strongly boomed by his friends as a candidate for speaker of the house. Capt. Fisher in ability, general ap pearence would make an ideal speaker and his friends in this section would be pleased to see him honored by the election. Many Holt county pops will never get over lamenting Allen’s defeat. They say that they would rather have lost the entire state ticket than see the windy sen ator defeated, aud judging from the expression on their physiognomy since the complexion of the legislature was decided we believe them. Some O’Neill merchants are contin ually howling about big mail order houses, claiming a large number of farmers in this county send away for their goods and these same merchants send away for their stationary because they can save five or ten cents on a $10.00 order. So you see they censure people for what they do themselves. Wayne Democrat: Tbe story goes that a passenger on'the “Hartington branch” was kicking to the conductor about the infamous train service and the snail-like pace of the train when the gentleman up and tells him if he didn't like tbe way the train was ruu he could get out and walk. “I would,” said the passenger, ‘‘but the folks wouldn’t be ex pecting me home so soon.” How dear to my heart is the old yellow pumpkin, when orchards are barren of stuffing for pies; when peaches and apples have both been a failure, and berries of no kind have greeted tbe eyes. How fondly we turn to the fruit of the cornfield—the fruit . that our children are taught to despise, the old yellow pumpkin, the mud-covered pnmpkin, the big bellied pumpkin that makes such good pies.—Swiped. Once more the spotted cow called Pig, once more the black boar speck, are laid to rest beside the axe, that hit them in the neck. Through two campaigns they’ve wildly pranced, and did their best, I trow: yet failure always dogs the pig, likewise the spot ted cow. Their rest should be their final rest; sb mascots they’re a fraud; they have not helped the Q. O. P. while kept above the Sod. Yet when another campaign corned, some vandal hands will dig, from out their graves the black boar cow, likewise the spotted pig.— Walt Mason. : An eminent English surgeon says I that a kiss on the lips ought to be felt for at least twenty minutes afterwards, and that kissing produces a sensation which the system requires to keep it in a healthy state. We are glad to hear it. Kissing is a tingling stimulant that per vadcB a man from his scalp to his toe nails. A long drawn ecstatic kiss makes him feel as if the world were whizzing both ways at once. When his lips meet the moist iwarm ones of a sweet woman—when soul mingles with soul—then comes exquisite touches of tenderness and heaven is not far off. It’s nice medicine, says the West Point ReDUblican. Norfolk News: J. C, Mason in the State Journal of yesterduy gives some “Memories of the Second” which con tain some surprising information in re gard to the cost of equiping and main taining the regiment. The total amount of cost reached nearly half a million of dollars during its six months of service. The items were as follows: Salaries $228,036; clothing $84,325; ordinance $14,629; equippage $12,000; transporta tion $16,395; forage $1,121.93; commisary $63,998, making a total of $410,504.93. Of the 1,326 men who composed the reg ment, one officer and 26 men gave up their lives for their country’s sake. Companies F and’ H were the only two companies in which there were no deaths. The men who composed the regiment are scattered far and wide. While many have returned to their homes and the employment they left on joining, others have rejoined the army and are rendering service in other reg iments. _ Dr. Withers, Omaha painless den tist, wili be in O'Neill, December 1 and 2.

Coburn, one of the best known and moit highly respected citizens, passed peacefully away at his home in Atkinson, Inst Thursday, November 10. Mr. Coburn came to Holt county, Nebraska, nineteen years ago with his family and settled on a farm one mile frftm what was then called Greeley (now Phoenix), and resided there with his family until last September when he moved to Atkinson his family thinking it might bn better for him to get away from the work and worry of the farm, but no earthly power can stay the hand of death. It came so swiftly and silent ly that it • was a shock to his family and friends. He had been ill for some time with what was supposed to be cancer of but the stpmach, was able to be around the house and not manydays before his death was down town chatting with his friends. He was a staunch republican in politics and looked forward with great eagerness to election day, but when the day came was hardly able to cast his vote. He will be missed most where he was known best, among his old friends and neighbors, whom many can truly testify that he helped many of them over hard places during the old pioneer days. He had many warm friends and his house was always open to receive and welcome them. He was a quiet, modest man, unassuming in his every day life, out spoken and firm in his convictions, honorable and truthful in all bis deal ings with mankind. ! Mr. (Joburn was born in uaoot, Ver mont. January 30, 1883. When twenty one years of age be went to Paris, Wisconsin, his parents moving there soon after. He enlisted in the war of the rebellion as First Dieutenant in the Thirty-third regiment, Wisconson volunteers: was married February 21, 1866, to Flora W. Gaylord. Four child ren were born to them, three sons and. one daughter Besides bis family, he leaves two sisters, in Wisconsin and one brother in Laurel, Neb. Though not a member of any church he believed in and respected religion and religious people and contributed to the cause whenever an opportunity pre sented. The funeral occurred Sunday, the services fteingiield at the Presbyterian church, and were conducted by Rev. F. D. Haner, assisted by Rev. R. A. Ball. Many of his old friends and neighbors were present to pay their last tribute to a worthy neighbor, kind counselor and sincere friend. *** BAILBOAD NEWS. Sioux City Times: Chicago, Nov. 19 —special: A secret meeting of the ex ecutive committee of the Credits Com mutation company, of Sioux City, is being held in room 130 of the Auditorum hotel in this city. Only one member of the committee is absent. Tbe counsel 1 of the company is present. D. L. Plumer, of Wausau, Wis., president of the company, is presiding over the ses sioln. The question under discussion is said tonight to be the futuie of the Sioux City, O’Neill and Western and Sioux Ctty and Northern railroads, properties in which the Credits Com mutation company are largely interested. After a long, close session the members of the committee had dinner this even ing and afterward in the lobby of the hotel met Chicago capitalists, who might havejbeen representing railroad companies. It was rumored that the the committee during the day discussed whether the company should redeem the two railroads, which by a recent decision of the United States supreme court practically have gone to ,f. Ken nedy Todd, of New York, the eastern broker of James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern railroad. It bas been suggested as a remote possibility that the Sioux City, O’Neill and Western might be sold to the Chicago and Northwestern, and it seems to be a positive impression that if the Credits Commutation company does not redeem the Sioux City and Northern this road will pass to Piesident Hill and become a part of the Great Northern line to connect in Omaha with some road for the gulf. In answer to all questions President Plumeraaid, ‘'There is nothing for the press.” A 8UBE38IOK OF CBOUF.
