The attention of the marshal is called
to the fact that a horse has been running
at large all the past week in the western
part of town, breaking sidewalks and
making a general nuisance of himselt.
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

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

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.

A Wonderful Core of Diarrhoea.
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. R. Moore. Sold by P.

Prohibition Convention.
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'

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.
