That smiled in the evening sky, And the neighbors smote him with rocks and shoon— But still he continued his rageful tune And he barked till his throat was dry. The little dog bounced like a rubber ball, For his anger quite drove him wild; And he said, “I'm a terror although I am small And I dare you, you Impudent fell low, to fall,” Dut the moon only smiled and smiled. Then the little dog barked at a terrible rate, But he challenged the moon in vain, For as calmly and slow as the workings of fate The moon moved along in a manner sedate And smiled at the dog in disdain. But soon 'neath a hill that obstructed the West The moon sank out of sight, And it smiled as it slowly dropped under the crest. But the little dog said, as ho lay down to rest, “Weill I scared it away, all right I’’ —From a Scrap Book. Additional local on eighth page. Hon.

Case, of Houghton, Micb., for a consideration of $1,734.52 a one-half interest in the Omaha quartz lode, J interest in the Hagerty lode and a 4 interest in the Owl No. 2 lode in the Warm Springs unorganized mining district. The above clipping is from a Mon tana paper. The mines mentioned, the “Omaha” and the “Hagerty,” weie lo cated by H. C. McEvony, for many years sheriff of this county. The former was named in honor of Nebraska’s metropolitan city and the latter in honor of Patrick Hagerty, cashier of the Elkhorn Valley bank. Hank evi dently wanted to imagine himself in old Holt although many miles away. A herd of swine while meandering along on the sidewalk on the east side of Main street Sunday were suddenly surprised by the deep and steutorious voice of our chief of police, notifying them to clear the walk. The aforesaid swine did their best to save themselves from arrest and dodged the eagle eye of the said officer by jumping through the minus boards in the afore mentioned walk. The chief thus seeing himself baffied in making arrest of the herd im mediately betook himself to the nearest place of worship where he partook of the ceremony and emerged forth, not in sack cloth and ashes, but vowing ven geance on the swine and the boards which were not in the sidewalk. “The best is none too good,” and this is particularly true of bicycles, and now that the “best”can be bought at such reasonable figures it is a waste of money to buy cheap wheels. Every maker, every dealer, and every rider of wheels knows that the “Columbia” is the best. It has no equal and the price now is only $50.00. The “Hartford” made by the same company is positively as good as any wheel in America except the Columbia, only, and you can buy them for $35.00. We have a limited number of ’98 Hart fords, that are ae good in every way as the ’99 wheels and they will be sold as long as they last at $28.00. This in certainly the best bar gain now offered by anybody, not ex cepting those who offer to sell you wheels at wholesale prices. We have samples of all the above now on hand and will be pleased to show them to you. J. P- Mann. Joseph Weir, who was up before Judge Kinkaid last Thursday morning charged with attempting to bribe one J. Dowd, a juror, in the case of Barrett vs Robinson was, given a hearing last Friday. Bailiff Edkius testified that Wier said there was $10.00 in it for him if he would influence his son-in-law, of whom he had two on the jury, to keep a verdict adverse to Barrett from being rendered. Mr. Wier denied the allegation and testified that Edkins had proposed to him that if there was any thing in it he could influence his sons in-law, and referred to Frank Snaring, a clerk in the hotel for confirmation of his statements. The case was then con I tinued until Saturday morning when Wier and Snaring were examined but their testimony was so conflicting and the prosecution so strong that Judge Kinkaid decided he was guilty and sen tenced him to twenty days in the coun ty days jail, where he now is. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of ST. PATRICK’S DAY. St. Patrick’s day in O’Neill was cele brated in a becoming manner, creditable alike to the memory of Ireland’s patron saint, and the people of this city. The green flag floated to the breeze by the side of of the stars and stripes, emblem atic of the love between two countries who have always been allies in peace, auxilliaries in war. The services at St. Patrick’s Catholic church was attended by a large audience, who listened with rapt attention to the Rev.-. of Creighton college, Omaha, who elo quently and learnedly told of the suf ferings and trials of St. Patrick; how he succeeded into the fold of Christ a pagan people. Not as many suppose an ignorant, vicious race, but a learned and intelligent people, who were competent to properly diagnose and dissect all pos sible subjects and theories advanced to them by the apdstle of Christianity. St. Patrick’s last words were as he lay lying upon bis bed was that the people of Ireland would always remain faithful to the church, regardless of persecution. Row truthful his words were, Is fully exemplified as the Irish people, like the rock of Gibraltar, stands supremely unshaken in their fait j, pur ity and loyalty to all the teachings of Christ and his church, instilled into the hearts of their ancestors over sixteen hundred years ago. Immediately preceding the last mass a beautiful and costly statue of St. Patrick was blessed and presented to the congregation, the same being the gift of Mr, Neil Brennan, who deserves the thanks of the people of the parish for the splendid gift.
