when the lamps have gone oat and a
pall of gloom overhangs the sky, when
the earth is wrapped in the immencity of
darkness and the breezes sigh wearily

washing the shore by the sad, sounding
sea. But we are drifting from the sub
ject; we intended to say it is mighty
aggravating to rush into a mudbole on
your way home these dark nights.

State Sunday School Secretary Pollock
I was in the city Saturday and Sunday.

For several days, or rather nights,
last week O’Neillites kept a weather eye
out from under tbe bed blankets to
catch a glimpse of a shower of stars that
had been predicted, by false prophets, to
fall the 14th 15th, 16th or 17lb. The
shower didn’t fall, not even a sprinkle,
but the good people’s vigalence was
awarded with a wet rain on the last
night in question. And still it rains.
The church editor has had the pleas
ure of listening to Rev. H. L. Powers,
D. D., since he opened his crusade
against evil in general and spiritual
wickedness in high and low places in
particular here in O’Neill. The reverned
gentleman hits hard and loud, and none
are spared. Meetings began last Thurs
day and will continue through the com
ing tiunday and perhaps longer. Inter
est grows as the meetings progress and
the sermons are full of power, delivered
by a marvelous voice and to us, baring
the tumnlt, are highly edifying. Tbe
subject tomorrow evening is, "From the
Home of an Infidel to the Pulpit, Lead
by the Hand of a Slave.” Rev. Powers
is a southerner and knows something of
slave times and draws vivid pictures be
fore bis hearers.
Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock on
the 18th affirmed the decision of Land
Commissioner Herman in the case of the
state of Nebraska against certain set
tlers cn land within limits of the aband
oned Fort Randall military reservation.
The act, approved March 3, 1893, pro
vides for the disposition of the lands
within this reservation and grants the
state a preferred right for one year after
tbe filing of the official plats of survey
in the district land office to make certain
school indemnity selections from the
odd numbered sections thereon. The
final plat of tbe survey was filed in the
O’Neill land office November 27, 1896,
and the state filed a list of selections
November 11, the list including the
lands iu dispute. The secretary holds
that no rights could be acquired by
homestead settlement in these lands ab
against tbe state’s preferred right to
make selections within the time limit.
The homestead applications are there
fore rejected.
Thomas Coyne, one or the pioneer
residents of this county met with a
horrible death last Monday night. Mr.
Coyne came to town that day on a mis
sion of charity having brought in a load
of provisions to be shipped to the
orphans borne at Omaha. Just how he
was injured will probably never be
known as be never regained conscioue
ness. He started for home some time
during the evening and was found in
the roadway a half mile this side of the
old Bellamy place about 7:80 Tuesday
morning in a dying condition. He died
at 11 a. m. that day aod was buried
Thursday morning. The funeral was
one of the largest ever seen here, which
warmly testified to the sincere affection
held for him by his neighbors and
friends in this locality.
Deceased came here from Scranton,
Pa., about twenty-two years “ago, for
the purpose of establishing a permanent
home for his family that he might spend
the latter days of his life surrounded by
I those he worked and labored for. Alas
for the uncertainties of life; just as be
was about to enjoy the fruits of a hard
working honest life, death cast its
ghastly shadow across his path and for
ever destroyed the fond hopes and
dreams of early manhood. He was con
templating a trip to his old home at
Scranton in a few weeks and was mak
ing all arrangements for that purpose.
To bis wife who has shared the joys
and sorrows of a worth” helpmate for
more than a quarter of a century we ex
tend our sincere and earnest sympathy.
Deceased was about sixty years of age j
and leaves a large family who mourn the
loss of a kind father as only good and
affectionate children can.

all over Africa as commander of the
forces that captured the famous rebel
Gallsbe. Under date of Nov. 4, 1807,
from Vryburg, Becbuanaland, he writes,
“Before starting on the last campaign I
bought a quantity of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,
which I used myself when troubled with
bowel complaint, and had given to my
men, and in every case it proved most
beneficial.” For sale by P. C. Corrigan.
It will not be a surprise to any who
are at all familiar with the good quali
ties of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, to
know that people everywhere take
pleasure in relating their experience in
the use of that splendid medicine and in
telling of the benefit they have received
from it, of bad colds it has cured, of the
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.
For sale by P. C. Corrigan.
