Ernest Riggs, a brother of Mrs. Mere dith, was seriously hurt. Mr. Riggs visited O’Neill several years ago and may be remembered by some of our readers. “Wife (to husband, who has joined a fishiDg club)—This is a pretty sort of a life you are leading! Husband—Oh, do be quiet! Wife—I shall not be quiet. The day before yesterday you did not come home until yesterday; yesterdav you came home today; and today, if 1 had not come to fetch you, you wouldn’t have come home until tomoir>w.’’ Evangelist H. L. Powers, of Lincoln, Neb., will hold evangelistic services at the MethodiBl church each evening ex cept Saturday until further notice. Also Pentecostal bible readings will be hi 11 at the church in the afternoon at 3 o’clock. Everybody cordially invited to attend all of these services. Rev. Mr. Powers is well known throughout the west and every one should hear him, **# The weighing of the mails in United States postodlces ended at midnight on November 6. The total amount of mail matter originating in the O’Neill office and the equipment for carrying the same for the thirty-five days was in round numbers 3,688 pounds. The total amount of mail and equipment sent by railroad from O’Neill during the term of weighing was 2,380 pounds and 10 ounces. Daniel Tooliill has bad shipped in this week from LeMars, la., the pure bred, prize winning bull, King William, N'o. 119,860. His sire was Royal Nibs 6tb, and dam Rosalie by Baron Rose. He traces back to Chilton Duke llib, Thorndale Airdrie, Imported Contention, (3479), Imported Ambassador (3711), etc. He is a noble specimen of the Bates Shorn Horn family. Some of his ancet tors iu the female line were Queen Thompson, Qneen Bess, Queen, Kosilla, Rose, Eudocia, etc. Very long is the way and very dusty the roads that lead into that part of Holt which is called “the south country." A Frontier pilgrim piloted himself and wife, another man’s wife and a buggy load of babies thither last week. But though long the way and dusty the road it is a pleasant trip to take because of the kingly way the royal people over there entertain you. It is a prosperous country, a happy people and a good community. At nearly every place at which we stopped large droves of cattle were yarded and the immense barns, loaded cribs and fine homes show the rapid strides the country is taking, Some twenty to twenty-five miles directly south of O’Neill three churches may be seen simultaneously from the road and we presume the number is indicative of great religious fervor. There are oceans of hay. Slacks stand thicker than corn stalks and at a distance a meadow looks like a city. The people of southern Holt have reason for being happy and content. Culbertson Era: Wbile the shoutings and the tumult rise for the hero of Ma nila and the republic resounds with notes of gratulation and praise, let us spare a grateful thought and the tribute of a tear for the almost forgotten Qridley— the intrepid and plucky captain of the tlag ship who fired the first shot of battle of Manila bay and who was first officer to go to his death as the suit of the strain of battle upon an feebled physical condition. ‘ You the the re eu may fire when ready, GriJley," was the trust ful and complimentary form of the command from Commodore Dewey on the bridge of the Olympia to Captain Uridley in the conning tower, aud, when ready, Gridley fired the shot that meant a grave for him and great fame for the heroic commander. But only two months later his poor clay, entirely un noticed, was transferred from one rail* way station to another in Chicago for the final stage of the long journey to the place of interment at Erie, Pa. How different the home-comiug of the trusted aud gallaul captain and the quick disap pearance of his name from the public mind from the triumphal return of the distinguished admiral, aud the demon strations of pride and appreciation that attend his way. There is nothing to complain of or philosophize about this. It is just the difference between being dead and alive. Tkobo tinilo dsutart of The Kind You Have Always Bought boa •TWJ unjPb O’Neill people were surprised to learn of the death of Samuel C. Sample, of Butte, which occurred at Omaha last week. Mr. Sample was seated at the writing desk in the Merchants hotel and was just finishing a letter to his wife when he fell over in his chair practically helpless. Mr. Hake, the proprietor, was iq the writing room at the lime and as sisted in straightening Mr. Sample in his chair, when he completed the letter, folded it in an ehyelope and addressed it to Mrs Sample at Butte. Completing this he again fell over the arm of the chair. It then dawned upon Mr. Hake that the man was paralt zed. He was unable to speak a word and was taken to his room and medical aid summoned* Mr. Sample did not revive and died at about 11 o'clock next morning. Mr. Sample and his daughter, Miss Alice Sample, went to Omaha a fen days ago. Monday Miss Sample was at Council Bluffs assisting in the reception of the Iowa soldiers. Sue knew nothing of the affliction of her father uutil her returu to Omaha Monday night. At that time Mr Sample’s condition seemed serious and his wife and brother, James A. Sam ple, of the United States treasury de partment at Washington, were tele graphed. Both responded that they would come, Mr. Sample was well known among business men all through this section. Lie was cashier of the State bank of this city at the lime W. D. Mathews was president of the bank. When Boyd county was carved out of the Sioux reservation Mr. Sample went to Butte and engaged in the banking business there. Mr. Sample was a mem ber of the Masonic order, a Workman, a Woodman, an Elk and a Highlander, and in most of these orders he carried a life insurance. He also carried a large policy in the Bankers’ Life. His re mains were taken to South Bend, Ind., his old home, and the funeral held Fri day. We don’t know Ike author of Ike fol lowing, but his words are full of pathos: Once wkeu night was fast ,approacking aud Ike shadows were encroaching on the yellow gleauis of sunlight that were dealing on uiy door; 1 went out to see the voters armed with “budge" and other motors, which would bring them, all the dealers, boating gently to my door, lor election day was coming and l thought I would be drumming, coaxing up the festive voters as I used to do of yore. Then I met an aged granger, smelling of the farm aud manger, and 1 said, “Your vote, O; stranger;” quoth the farmer, “Never more.” Quickly vanished all my gladness, and 1 felt a weary sadness, chilling all my heart aud marrow aud my being to its core; and the granger’s explanation only heighten ed my vexation. Said he, “My determi nation is to ballot never more; all your cheroots and liavanuas, all your bottles and bananas, cannot change my resolu tion which is drm as iron ore; for your promises are rotten, and they are all soon forgotten, and your honeyed words are hollow as the raven’s on (he shore. 1 shall never ballot more Once there came to me u stranger, and he said, “my worthy granger, vote for me aud I will aid you. I’ll assist you evermore; aud I’ll make a mighty battle in behalf of sheep and cattle, and I will make the dry bones rattle as they never shook be fore, I will boom your eggs and butter, I will make all rich to mutter, I’ll de fend your farm and hay Black till my office shall be o'er. I shall better your condition, by a war or prohibition; I will then be in position to protect your home once more. By the shadow of St. Charley, I will boom your oats and barley, cabbage, bents and parsley; till we make the country roar.* So I voted for the stranger, and I’m now a knocked out granger, with a mortgage on the manger, and the land I owned before. All his words so softly quoted were but tnfly sugar-coated, and my cattle are all starving as they used to starve befoie. Therefore, stranger, you may throttle that old, leather-covered bottle, for no slimy office seekers e'er can work me any more." Supervisor Vote.
