Reports are con flicting as to the exact hour that the ac cident occurred, and also as to the cause and conditions governing this deplora ble result. He was brought to Atkinson immediately after being discovered, and Dr. McDonald, the railroad company’s surgeon at this place, ' was ' summoned and skilfully rendered relief to the suf ferer. Whether the injuries are fatal or not is still problematical—but they are more than ordinarily serious. Mr. Caunon had been an appreciated, trust ed employee of the Elkborn company for a number of years, but whether he still holds a position under that man agement we are not advised. His speedy recovery is sincerely invoked by all.

A Prominent Virginia Editor had almost given op. bat was brought back to perfect health by Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rimed?. Bead his editorial from the Times, Hillstile, Va. I suffered with diarrhoea for a long time and thought I was past being cured. 1 had spent much time and money and suffered so much misery that 1 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 1 was entirely well of that trouble, and I wish to say further to my readers and fellow sufferers that I aui a hale aud hearty man today and feel as well as I ever did in my life.—O. R. Moore. Sold by P. C. Corrigan. BRYAN BLOWOUT. Well, Bryan has oome and gone and the local popoornts are not rejoicing as they would have done a few years ago had this apostle of popo-democrasy ad dressed the people here The coming of Mr. Bryau was heralded far and near and a good sized crowd came to town that day to see the man who led demoo racy to defeat in 1896 and who will fol low suit in 1900. The size of the crowd has been estimated by various people at from 2,000 to 4,500. Mr. Fleherty, of Ogallala, one of the howling pops of that seotion, who was in O'Neill that day, estimated the crowd at 2,500, and we be lieve 3,000 would cover it. A publio reception was held at the courthouse in the morning where all who desired to meet Mr. Bryan were given an opportunity to do so. When the carriage containing Mr. Bryan was passing up Fourth street, Bill Fallon tried to enliven the crowd by proposing three cheers for Bryan, but the people that lined the sidewalks would not cheer and Bill’s deep basso voice was about the only one in evidence. When the procession reached Douglas street, Ben DeYarman thought it too closely resembled a funeral procession and be got into^the street and proposed three cheers for Bryan, which were given by a few of the spectators. After dinner a procession was formed headed by the O’Neill, Chambers, New port, Neligh and Ainsworth bands con solidated, immediately followed by a carriage containing Mr. Bryan, Mr. Bar rington and a few other local popocratic stars, and escorted by a reception com mittee of about 100. They paraded the principal streets a couple of times, then marched to the grand stand, which had been erected upon the vacant lots north of Sniggs’ blacksmith shop, where the crowd had assembled to hear him. Mr. Bryan was introduced by T. V. Golden, who lauded bis democracy so highly that we are almost forced to be lieve that Tom has returned to his first love, the democratic party. Mr. Bryan seemed to have a personal interest iu the candidacy of would-be congressman Neville, for he pleaded with the people to support him, not be cause he was well qualified for the po sition, but because he wanted him there so that he could vote no. Ills cham pionship of Neville’s candidacy did not seem to enthuse his auditors very much for cheers were as scarce as "house-rent” money in the state treasury when Slip pery Si Holcomb got through with it. He reaffirmed his allegiance to free silver and said it had been buried semi annually and annually every year for the past eight years and that another funeral would be necessary this year. Speaking of the Philippine question Mr. Bryan did not say he was in favor of withdrawing the troops now on the Island, as he has been reported as say ing in the eastern states. He said the first mistake was made in the treaty of peace, in not giving the Philippines the same right given to the Cubans. After the war is over he favored establishing a stable government and then allowing them to look out for themselves. Throughout his speech, as in the pa rade in the earlier hours, there waB a noticable lack of enthusiasm and ap plause which must have been disappoint ing to the orator. His speech was flowery, filled with witticisms aud jokes but lacked the sound, logical reasoning of the statesman. FREE!

September 19, 1899. OASTOHiiL. 11 JOHN McKENNA. Notice. Bears the Signature of a The Kind You Have Always Bought O'Neill vb Spencer. An aggregation of ball players head ed by Josiah Coombs, editor of the Spencer Advocate, manager of the team, came over from Spencer last Saturday to try conclusions with the O'Neill ball tossers in games to be played Sunday and Monday afternoons. The game Sunday was strictly a battle of pitchers and Steele bad the best of it by a good many points. In fact he pitched a phenominal game, allowing the Spencer boys only one hit and mak ing 17 of them fan the air in their vain endeavor to connect with the ball. Zink caught for O’Neill and done splen did work in that position. Zink and Steele make a battery that is hard to beat and many O'Neillites and several traveling men who witnessed the games were anxious to see the O'Neill team go up against the Omaha brewers, but as the season is about over the boys will probably not defeat the Omaha aggrega tion this season. The Spencer boys played good ball and held down the score splendidly. Cheetwood, who pitched lor the Boyd county team, put up a good article of ball and gives prom ise of making a first class twirler. Fol lowing is the score by innings: O’Neill.2 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0—5 Spencer.0 0000001 0—1 Hits—O'Neill 7, Spencer 1. Struck out—Steele 17, Cheetwood 4. Passed balls—Downs 1. Monday auernoon me same teams played a second game, with the same batteries. It was a repetition of the first game. Steele had the boys at his merer and could fan any of them when ever he took a notion to do so. A great crowd was on the grounds to witness the games and they recognizing the superior ability of the O’Neill team, the majority of them howled for the Spencer boys whenever the opportunity occurred. Hut seven innings were played during which time Steele fanned twelve men. He is by long odds the best twirler that ever shot a ball across a plate in O’Neill. He has splendid curves, terrific speed and perfect control, making him almost invincible to most of the amateur ball players. The score Monday was as fol lows: O'Neill...1 0 2 0 8 2 2—10 Spencer...0 0 0 1 0 0 2— 3 Base Ball Notes. From tho Chadron Journal. Only one of the Pine Ridge boys ever reached third. Well, well, did you see that curve? O’Neill’s man thoroughly understood bis business. Now for an organized, picked nine to return the compliment of the O’Neill boys. Two games of ball this week were played to the amusement and pleasure of good crowds each game. The one on Saturday between O’Neill and Chadron was interesting, especially to the home boys, who, while they played good ball, were easily outclassed by the sturdy ball tossers from O’Neill. The Chadron boys were expecting a Waterloo and were not disappointed to receive it. The score was 12 to 20 in favor of O’Neill. The game Sunday between O’Neill and Pine Ridge drew even a larger crowd than the day before, as it was expected to be the game of the season. Before many innings bad been played, it was very evident that the copper col ored boys from the Ridge would have to play stronger ball, or be completely shut out. It was a battle cf pitchers, with Steele an easy winner. His pitching was superb. Not in any stage of the game did he lose control of the ball. Each inning was a repetition of the pre ceding one and when 8 innings had passed and not a solitary redskin had touched bis shoe on the home plate, they seemed to lose hope and gave up in despair. The score was 16 to 0 in favor of O’Neill. Charley Hamilton was down from Stuart the first of the week. The republican state convention is being held in Omaha today. Owing to the lateness of the date set for holding the Holt County Fair, it has deen decided to postpone the Fair until next year.
