No one knows the unbearable torture,
the peculiar and agonizing pain, caused
by piles, unless they have suffered from
them. Many believe them incurable.
This is a mistake. Proper treatment
will cure them. TABLER’S BUCKEYE

This may be ot use to farmers and
stockmen. Sprinkle lime in your stock
tank and not a particle of Bcum will
form on the water. When lime loses
its strength scum will begin to form,
which may be twice during the season.
Wash out the tank and repeat the dose.
It is cheap, not only harmless, but
wholesome, keeps the water sweet and
saves the live stock.

The following extract ia taken from a
letter received by O. O. Snyder from

severe storm here last night. Have

per cent. Had hail about two miles

been moved off foundation eight feet,
and many small buildings wrecked.”
A gentleman in O’Neill has a “kissing

and yesterday we saw one of our most
popular young society men stirring it up
with a toothpick and intently watching
it “kiss” the stick. When asked what
he was doing he replied that he had
heard the bugs were expert kissers,
always landing on the lips, and he
wanted to get on to their system.
Cattle Rustlers Caught.
A week ago last Saturday L. C. Wade
had two head of cattle stolen from his
pasture south of Emmet, but no trace of
them could be found until the first of
this week, when they were located in a
pasture three and one-half miles south
east of Venus. The theft was traced to
John aqd Sam Marty, two young fellows
from Flainview, who were running a
herd on the old John Lets ranch. They
had loaded the cattle Into a wagon and
hauled them down there and left them
without saying a word to the owner of
the pasture about it.
On Tuesday morning Jim Pinkerman
went down to'Plainview and arrested
-Marty, the father of the two boys,
and brought him to O’Neill the same
evening, and he is now lying in the
county jail awaiting a hearing.
Wednesday morning Sheriff Stewart
went out to the ranch and arrested John
Marty and brought him to town, and,
not wishing to have the two prisoners
communicate, turned him over to Mar
shal Horriskey to be locked up in the
city jail. But he’s not there now.
About 8:45 p. m. he requested the mar
shal to take him out for a few minutes
airing, which John good-naturedly did
He’s sorry now, for as soon as they got
outside he took a sudden shoot around
the corner of the jail and down an alley,
and he is enjoying the fresh air yet,
Horriskey chased him for a few blocks,
but was not fleet enough of foot to
overtake him, so he came back and
sounded the alarm, and in a few min
utes a dozen people were out on the
hunt, but without succpss, aud the
search had to be abandoned until morn
ing.
Sheriff Stewart, at the time, was out
in the country after a witness in the
case, and on his way home he met a
man on horseback about half way be
tween here and Page, who, he is now
convinced, was the escaped prisoner—
mounted on one of Clark Hough’s
horses, which he had appropriated to
his own use to facilitate his escape—
but who, in the darkness he did not
recognize. This morning he took the
Short Lino passenger to Plalnview,
where he will await the young man's
arrival, and will in all probability bring
him back with hitn.
The other brother, Sam, has not been
located yet.
O'Neill vs. Atkinson.
The O’Neill team went to Atkinson
last Friday morning to contest with the
Atkinson boys for the championship of
liolt county. About 100 O’Nelllites
went along to cheer the boys onward to
victory. The boys won, the crowd
cheered—the O’Neill crowd—and all
were happy.
Considerable ‘‘chewing'* was indulged
in during the morning hours by a few
Atkinsonites, and for s time it looked
as if there would be no game, and the
disappointment depicted on every coun
tenance was evidence that the crowd
did not relish the thought of not seeing
a game. But finally bets were declared
oil and the game called for 4 o’clock.
Lee Henry went into the box for Atkin
son, while Zink, of Stuart, went back
stop, The first O’Neillite that stepped
up 10 me pi me auu micu uuv ooujkio
and the next man followed suit and it
looked as if it was going to be a slug
ging match. But finally, after two men
had crossed the plate the side was re
tired and the Atkinson boys tried their
luck at the willow. They managed to
get one score before being retired. The
next two innings brought goose eggs to
both teams, as did also the fourth for
O’Neill, but the Atkinson boys got one
score in the fourth inning, tieing the
game. In the fifth O'Neill got another
egg while their husky opponents piled
up two, making the score the first half
of the sixth inning 4 to 2 in favor of At
kinson. The latter never made another
score while the lads from the Emerald
City plucked two in the sixth, gathered
in six in the eighth and reaped three
more in the ninth, winning the game by
a score of 13 to 4 The - feature of the
game was the batting of Klefner, for
O’Neill, making a home run with two
men on bases. Will Zink was also rig
ged out in his batting clothes, making
two three baggers. Bckultzof Atkiuson
was also credited with a home run. Fol
lowing is the score:
O’Neill • 30000206 3—13
Atkinson - 10012000 0— 4
Batteries—O'Neill, ZinkjiHenry and
Shceley; Atkinson, Zink, Henry and
Bltuey. Umpire, Haight.
Stuart Ledger: At 7 p. m. today (Fri*
day) fire was discovered in the building
north of Powell's store occupied as a
residence by Chas. Qill and family. The
fire started in the celling from a defect*
ive "thimble” and for a time there wai
lively work extinguishing it. A line of
hose was quickly attached to the supply
pipe of the N. Main street water station,
but before the water reached the nozzle
the businesslike little hand extinguish*
era had got in their work and the fire
was out, Had it gotten a good start
nothing could have saved the entire
west aide of Main street, as the wind
was blowing briskly from the north.
It has been suggested to us that the
typhoid fever, which is ever prevelant
in O’Neill, Is caused from the drainage
from the cemetery reaching the wells
throughout the town. It is a well
known fact that such drainage is a pro*
liflc source of fevers, and the situation
of our cemetery is such as to bear out ‘
the theory. We believe the time has
arrived when a thorough investigation
should be made, and the cause, wher* t
ever found, removed. It would be a
simple matter to determine whether or
not the cemetery was the fountain head, (
and, in the name of the citizens of ,
O'Neill, we ask the board of health to :
make the experiment.
