There is a herd law inscribed on the city ordinance book that forbids stock running at liberty in the city, and we would most respectfully suggest that it be enforced. The boys say Ed Stansberry is one of the nerviest boys in town. While out hunting stubble "duck” last Thursday evening in company with two more O’Neillites, they attracted the attention of a passerby, who rushed toward them, gesticulating wildly and calling npon them to stop shooting or he would have them arrested. The boys say Ed thought he saw a covey of birds light about 800 yards away and he made such speed toward the spot, away from the afore said passerby, that the others are will ing to gamble that he can cover 800 yards m 34 seconds. The ball team went up the road last Saturday evening to play a series of games with South Dakota teams. Sun day they played the Lead City team, the O’Neill boys winning the game by a score of 21 to 8. Monday they again defeated the same team by a score of 7 to 5. On Tuesday the O’Neill boys were defeated, the score standing 11 to 17 in favor of Lead City. There was no game Wednesday, but today they try conclu sions with the Dead wood team. They will play Deadwood a second game Fri day, play Rapid City Saturday and the Chadron boys Sunday, returning home Monday morning. The postofflce department has an nounced that a new form of domestic money order and advicejhas been adopt ed and was issued September 4. The dimensions of the new order are those of an ordinary bank draft, and the ad vice is a reproduction of the money order through the use of carbonized paper; also there is a receipt to be exe cuted by the same process and furnisn ed by the issuing postmaster to the re mitter. This is surely a decided im provement over any order hitherto adopted by the department, as the simul taneous production of the advice with the order both saves time and lessens the liability to mistakes and discrepan cies. Its size and shape will render it more easy to handle when mixed with other commercial papers. At the council meeting last Monday night, Alderman Jennets introduced au ordinance providing for and imposing an occupation tax on the various busi nesses and occupations in the city of O’Neill.

A special session of the district court was called Tuesday of this week, by Judge Kiakaid, at the request of the county attorney and numerous peti tioners, for the purpose of trying the Begley-Welsh-Yonke rape case. Noth ing of interest transpired Tuesday, and after a short session court adjourned till 2:40 Wednesday afternoon to give the defense time to prepare for trial. When court convened Wednesday the defense filed a motion for a continuence, and in reply the state filed, or attempted to file, a demurrer, but the county attorney was net equal to the task, and after filing one and having it rejected, owing to numerous errors, be called upon Would-be-District-Judge Jim Harring ton to assist him. Neither one being right sure how a demurrer should be worded, they decided they would each write one, in the hopes that one or the other would stumble onto the right form, but they didn’t, and after having both their efforts turned down they went down to the county judge’s office and made a verbatim copy of a form given in Maxwell’s “Pleadings and Practice.” This was accepted, and they thought their troubles were over, but before they had finished congratulating each other the defense filed a demurrer against the information on which the case was founded. This, the court said he would have to sustain, but upon Butlers claiming that he could cite competent authority to substantiate his position, the court took a recess of one hour to give him the necessary time to look up bis authority, but he couldn't find it, for it existed only in his imagin- j ation, and when court re convened he wan sorrowfully compelled to admit that they had the whole thing so hope* lessly tangled up that they would have to file a new information and begin proceedings all over again. This morn ing when court convened the state asked for, and received, an order from the court remanding the defendants back to the custody of the sheriff until proceed ings could be instituted in a justice court—the county judge being out of town—and at this writing a new pre liminary bearing is being held before Justice Slattery. It is to be hoped Butler will get more competent assist ance in the future, and save the county the cost of trying a case over several times in an effort to get it started right. FREE!

A Pr.mia.ent Virginia Editor had almost given np. but was brought back to porfeet health by Chamberlain's Colio, Cholera and Diarrhoea Bemedy. Bead his editorial from the Times, Hillstile, Va. I suffered with diarrhoea for a long time and thought I was past being cured. I had spent much time and money and suffered so much misery that I had almost decided to give up all hopes of recovery and await the result, but noticing the advertisement of Cham berlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and also some testimonials stat ing how some wonderful cures had been wrought by this remedy, I decided to try it. After taking a few doses I was entirely well of that trouble, and I wish to Bay further to my readers and fellow sufferers that I am a hale and hearty man today and feel as well as 1 ever did iu my life.—O.

The prohibitionists of Holt county met in convention in O’Neill Tuesday. Delegates were in attendance from various parts of the county. Sixty votes were cast iu the county for pro hibition last year and each vote repre sented the honest conviction of a voter that the saloon is hateful to God and hurtful to man. The following ticket was put in nom ination: County treasurer, John Mofflt, Page. County clerk, T. M. Elder, of Atkin son. County judge, H. Miller, of Turner. County superintendent, Mrs. Marietta Prouty, of Paddock. Clerk of the district court, Wilson Brodie, Cleveland. Sheriff, C. F. Johnson, of Stuart. Coroner, William Humphrey, of At kinson. Surveyor, V. V. Itosenkrans, Dorsey. The following platform ,vu unani mously adopted: 1. We recognize the sovereignty of the Supreme ltuler of the Universe, and appeal to iiim for the rectitude of our iuleutions aud we here pledge anew our allegiance to Him and humbly invoke His guidance and grace in all our edorts to further the cause of prohibition and suppress the saloon power which alone can be done by the power of the Christian vote. 2. We fully recognize the power of the liquor traffic, for we have seen its blighting and withering effects in soci ety and the nation. We have seen homes destroyed, hopes blighted, char acter blasted and mothere in tears. We have heard the cry of orphans and the wail of broken hearts caused by the licensed saloon. 3. We ask the aid of all Christian people and good citizens in bringing about such social and political reforms as are consistent with the Holy Scrip tures and the authority of Jesus Christ. 4. We recognize the right of women to be equal to men in the use of the bal lot. 5. We favor the inlative end refer endum. 6. We stand for our American Sab bath and view with alarm its open and shameless desecration, and we call upon all good citizens to do all in their power to save it from complete secularization' Wilson Brodie, Pres.

Colossal Monument. The most colossal monument on the continent of Europe and second alone in dimensions to the 'Liberty statue in New York, la that of the' fabulous Tu rull bird recently erected on the sum? mlt of the Banhida mountain in Coun> ty Komorn, Hungary, in commemora tlon of the Hungarian millennium, which was celebrated with a stupen dous amount of patriotic Influence la 1896 in all portions of the kingdom. The site is well chosen, seeing that the monument occupies the spot where Ar pad slew Swatopluk, the Slavic chief tain, on his invasion of the Hungary ol today. It was mainly due to the exer tions of the famous Magyar romancer, Jokal Mor, that the collection for the monument was started. This bird, fa ble has it, has played an extraordinary part In the destinies of the nation, so that the poorest moved to.enthusiasm by the eloquence of the popular poet, contributed the copper be could ill af ford to spare to the general fund. The conception of the monument is that ot the Magyar sculptor, Donath Gyula, the metals used being copper and iron The height from the claw to the tip o» the wing is sixty-eight feet, the out spread wings are forty-six feet long, and the sword of Arpad, which the monster bird holds in its claws, meas ures forty feet. Make an Interesting Win4. Some chalk diggers have made an Interesting find of a skeleton at Swans combe, Kent, England. It was that of a short, very thick-set man, and it is thought he was probably a Roman. A careful search was made for coins ot weapons, or anything that could give a clue to the period or nationality of the skeleton, but nothing was found except some flints, rudely shaped with some kind of splitting or chipping im plement. The skeleton must have been where it was found for many hundreds of years. It was in the heart of a chalk hill which had never been exca vated before. P. J.
