The weighing of the mails in United

traces back to Chilton Duke llib,

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,

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.

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."

threatened attacks of pneumonia it has
averted and of the children it has saved
from attacks of croup and whooping
cough. It is a grand, good medicine.

_^ The Kfnd You Have Always Bought
Prepare...
jf for Winter
We are receiving new goods al
most every day and have already
been obliged to duplicate our first
purchases in every line of winter
goods. This is particularly true in
our Clothing and Underwear depart
ments, where we have had the
largest trade we have ever enjoyed
during our business career in O’Neill.
Our clothing trade would be much
larger if more people would invest
igate eur stock and prices before
sending away for goods to catalogue
houses, as we are positively pre
pared to give you as good prices r.s
you can get in any of the large
cities. You have only to investigate
to cdnvince yourself of the truth of
this statement.
Our 17.75 cassimere suits, $7.75
all wool kersey overcoats and our
$10 Zero collar Frese ulster are
three of the best bargains you ever
saw. We have all wool suits as low
as $5.75 and as high as $15, and an
excellent line of overcoats and
ulsters.
Our stock of underwear, unusual
ly large, is full of good bargains.
Our lines of men’s wear at 50c,
05c and 75c are all extra good for
the price. Big stock of gloves, mit
tens, caps, leggins, overshoes nnd
everything you need for cold weath
