When Bryan Came to Town.
The pops were out in double file.
When Bryan came to town.
The bellowing crowd stretched a mile—
When Bryan came to town.
The dogs all barked, the mules all brayed
When Bryan came to town.
You should have seen the pop’s parade,
When Bryan came to town.
The streets were full of tooting lads—
When Bryan came to town—
But were soon outdone by their whooping
When Bryan cauie to town, [dads,
The ladies too—the fair, the sweet;
When Bryan came to town,
Squeuled like panthers on the strdet.
When Bryan came to town.
The people all, both small and great,
When Bryan came to town,
They did not see a president.
When Bryan came to town.
Our working men, who cheered so loud,
When Bryan came to town.
Will have to work now just as hard,
Since Bryan left the town.
But they who did stand by our flag,
Before Bryan came to town,
Will not be foundHo slack or lag
Because Bryan came to town.

Atkinson Republican: (Sometimedur
ing the early hours of yesterday morn
ing, Mr. Con Cannon, whose home is a
few miles east of Atkinson, was found
lying beside the railroad track, about
three miles east of this place, in an in
sensible condition, with his head and
face badly lacerated. 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 Wonderful Cure of Diarrhoea.
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.

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.

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.
Several grafters follow Bryan through
the country to ply their vocations on
the crowds that turn' '*;?• to hear him.
They had quite a harvest in this city
several people being minus their pocket
books when they emerged from the
crowd that surrounded the speakers
