Meals departed Tuesday morn ing for West Point, N. Y. .where for the next four years he will pursue the stud ies of a cadet at the United States milita ry academy. Charley has the qualities to make a mark in the profession and his O'Neill friends wish him the utmost success. John Olsen has a hand in a sling and is taking a layoff. He ignited some gas oline at Sniggs’ blacksmith shop which he thought was kerosene, and the bloomin’ stuff blazed up and burned his face and hands. The injuries of the face were slight, but the right hand was quite badly burned. Neligh Advocate: O’Neill has deter mined to abandon their pumping station and will depend upon three wells and windmills for their water supply. They are making the change as an economical measure. If the Independent’s editorial page is an index to the wind velocity of our sister town they are in no danger of lack of motive power. A man of fifty odd years in a light spriug wagon with a cover, stopped in town over night and started west this morning. He had in charge-a young man of eighteen or twenty years who was a pitiable sight. The boy has con sumption and is being taken to the mountains. They are from east of Council Bluffs. , ,-.- - O. F. Biglin received a postal card from Father Cassidy. The card was dated May 23 and was written aboard the steamer, within one day’s sail of Naples. He said he was enjoying the trip and was in the best of health. He stated they passed the Azore Islands on the 19th and Giberalter on the 21st, and ex pected to reach Rome May 26. Dr. Flynn had an expensive fishing excursion last Sunday. He and some friends drove over to Drv Creek, driving the doctor’s horse. They tied the horse to the buggy by the bank of the creek, so that he could graze, and in some manner the horse fell from the embankment into the creek and was drowned. It was a fine horse and is quite a loss to the doctor. _ Seward Reporter: A sunrise wedding took place yesterday morning at the M. E. parsonage, Rev. Dr. Gallagher officiating. Win. E. Frazer of Hyannis, Neb. and Miss Grace M. Beeman ot O’Neill, Neb., were the happy parties who were made man and wife. The groom has a sister in this county, a schoolteacher. He is principal of the Hyannis school, and the bride was also a teacher. They proceeded on a wed ding trip to Canada. Charley Schram sends us $5 on sub scription from Chicago, he lately re moving to that city from Milwaukee. Charley asks: “How is the old town getting on? I suppose it is the same old place, with a few new faces sprinkled in.” In some respects the town has changed materially since you were here, Charley. The resident part you would hardly reo ognize owing to the improvements since the pioneer days. A good many new faces are “sprinkled in” and hardly more than a score of the early settlers are left. Thanks for your substantial re membrance. Brann’s Iconoclast: “The place to take the true measure of a man is not in the market place or amen corners, nor in the field of fortune, but his own Preside. There he lays aside his mask and you may learn whether he is an ape or an angel.king or cur,hero or hum bng. I do not care a cop per what the world says of him, whether it crowns him with glory or pelts him “with bad eggs.' I do not care what his religion may be. If his babies dread his home com ing and his better half swallows her heart every time she has to ask for a five dollar bill, lie is a fraud of the first water, even though he prays night and day until he shakes the eternal hills. But if the children run to the front gate to meet him and love’s own sunshine il luminates tho face of his wife when she hears his footsteps, you may take it for granted that he is pure gold, his home is a heaven and a hnmbug never gets that near to the throne of God. I can forgive much in a fellow mortal who would rathet make men swear than wo men weep; would rather have the hate of the world than the contempt of his wife)', would rather call anger to the face of i^ing, than fear to the face of a child. Butte Gazette: Judge Kinkaid was in attendance at district court this week, havlng^several important cases to look after.5- His ability as an attorney is well recognized and while here he was urged to go into quite a number of new cases but was forced to decline on account of pressure of legal business now on hand. Next week he appears in a murder trial at Valentine as counsel for the defense. In speaking of the progress of work on the academy, the mechanic editor of the esteemed Independent says “the carpenters are beginning work putting in rafters for the basement floor.” Now that will be a nice looking building with “rafters” under the floor. The Frontier always supposed the rafters were to support the roof, but maybe those “carpenters” are going to build the academy bottomside up. _ We are told that a young man of At- j kinson was out driving the other even ing with his most particularly “best” girl. The conversation having turned upon fortune telling, he asked her if she believed in palmistry. She looked up demurely and naively said: “Well, I don’t know, but I think I could foretell ; more pleasure in this drive if I saw the | lines in one of your hands”. The fellow sat with bowed head and wrinkled brow ! until at least two miles had been trav | ersed, then an expansive smile illumined i his features. He took the lines in one hand—and grasped the situation. The Holt county prohibition conven tion was held in the court-house Tues j day. G. H. Candee was chnirman and ! Mrs. Elder of Atkinson clerk. L)ele j gates from different parts of the county were present. Nine delegates to the state convention at Lincoln in July were appointed. Mrs. Jennette Taylor was nominated for county attorney. Ilev. Miller of Paddock was authorized to take steps to organize a prohibition party in Boyd county. Nine dollars were raised for the state work and an effort will be made to increase the amount to $25. The convention was not largely attended, but enthusiasm was high. *** Atkinson Republican: The Dakota, Nebraska and Southern railroad comp any officials have been in Atkinson this week and the preliminary work of tak-1 ing up right-of-way and laying out sta tions, is now going on between Spalding and Atkinson and will be completed in about three weeks. By that t ime the survey between Grand Island and Spal ding will be finished, and in about an other week right-of-way and stations laid out. At the same time the work will be done from Atkinson north. This shows that the company is pushing the work all along the line with vigor. They have already secured valuable terminal facilities at Grand Island, Neb, and Pierre, South Dakota. The actual work of grading and laying tracks will be well un derway sooner than a good many think it will. Success to the enterprising men who are pushing this, and no town or community along the line will'receive more benefit from the new railroad than Atkinson. An exchange says: “A patriarchal business man lay dying in his l>rd; there was lack of woman’s nursing, for his women folks were dead. But bis part ner sat beside him for an hour—maybe more—while now and then a tear rolled down and splashed upon the floor. The dying merchant saw s tear and shook his head at it, saying. ‘Weep not for me brother, I am old enough to quit; but 1 want to say ere leaving, for my future happiness—judicious advertising is the keystone to success.’ His healthy part ner turned to him and smoothed his snow white locks, and ho said with deep emotion, ‘You are mighty right, old sox; for the business that we carry I am quite inclined to think we are very | much indebted to the use of printers’ ink.’ The old man winked approval, having nothing more to say, and in less than half a jiffy he had passed from earth away. Now a shaft of pure white marble bears the truth he would im press—‘Judicious advertising is the key stone to success.’ ” Bears the Signature of OABTOniA. the yy The Kind You Have Always Bought Dickson-Skirving NnptfUa. One of the prettiest home weddings that has taken place in this city for many years was the one at the home of the bride’s parental Mr. and Mns. John Skirving, at 8:30 o'clock this morning, when their eldest daughter, Miss Mae, was united in marriage to Mr. R. R* Dickson, Rev. E, T. Georgs of Neligh officiating. The bride was dressed in a pretty go~ ing-away gown of fawn ventian clothe and carried an, elaborate boquet of bride’s roses. The parlor was beautifully decorated with palms, smilax, roses and cAn&tions. The wedding was a private one, only a few intimate friends of the contracting parties being present. After the cere mony the bride and groom received the good wishes of the guests and the wed ding breakfast of sumptuous and delici ous fare followed. Tbe bride is the accomplished daught er of . Mr. and Mrs. John Starving, who for two years served as deputy clerk of the district court and in which position she demonstrated that she was possessed of business ability seldom found in the gentler sex. In a social way she has al ways been a leader among the young people of O’Neill, and by her winsome ways and amiable disposition has proven on many occasions that she has few equals as a social entertainer. Of the groom, Mr. Dickson, laudatory words from us would be supcrtlous, as he is known and recognized throughout the state as one of the leading lawyers of north Nebraska. Mr. Dickson served two terms as mayor of O’Neill. The happy couple, amid a shower of rice, rose loaves and good wishes, hoard ed the 10 o’clock train and departed for Philadelphia, where they will attend the j republican national convention, and from there go on an extended tour through the east. They will be at home at the handsome residence of Mr. Dickson’s in this city about August 1. Mrs. G. C. Hazelet and children and Master Andy Potter Bre visiting in the city. The Epworth League convention is coming up to every expectation, both in interest and attendance. License to wed was issued the 12th to Mr. James Gaughenbaugh of O’Neill and Miss Mary O'Donnell of Atkinson The force of officials and clerks at the court house are taking life rather easy now, county business being very light at the present. From the Nebraska ' Wesleyan the Frontier learns that O. It. Bowen, a former O’Neill boy, has been elected superintendent of the Riverton, Neb., schools. You feel better at once after using Herbine, you enjoy your food more, and you get more nourishment and invigor* ating force out of what you eat. Hence Herbine makes you strong, vigorous and cheerful. Price 50c —Corrigan. Rev. O. E. Beckes, pastor of the Pres byterian church, departed on Mon day morning’s train for Auburn, N. Y., where he will be married to Miss Arbella Sarr. Rev. Beckos and bride will be in O’Neill in about two weeks. O’Neill ball players—the second nine —went to Atkinson Wednesday and en gaged in a game. They were victorious by a score of 23 to 3 and claim that At kinson employed the assistance of grown men. Lee Reed was the hero of the day, making a homerun hit and pil ing up four scores thereby. Iu a private letter to W. T. Evans from hie son Ralph it is stated that the Meals-Hazelet mining party in Alaska are making good progress toward the gold fields and they expect to be located and ready for operation by the 1st of July. Summer has opened up, snow all gone and grass is green. John Kearns is to be married in Chi cago to-day and will arrive in O'Neill this evening witi* his bride for a visit here for a few days before going west on a more extended tour. Mr. Kearns formerly operated what is now the Cald well sheep ranch northwest of O’Neill O’Neill, June 4.—Advertised letters: Miss Ethel E. Moore, Mrs. Latlie Cor inck. Miss Canfield, Fred W.

As we open our note book the follow ing excerpt from the Dodge Criterion falls to the tabic: “About three weeks ago we sent out statements to delinquent subscribers to the amount of #125. We feel very much elated over the re turns, $2.50 having showed up to date. Thanks.” ▲ New Method. For yean dentists have been expert* meeting so that they would be able to fill aching teeth without first treating them for several days, even weeks, causing the sufferer to make several visits before relief could be had, and the teeth filled. At the state dental meeting in Omaha last month, Dr. Corbett of Madison gave an exhibition, having been successful in making the long sought discovery. A doctor present having a very painful tooth allowed the operation to be made on him. It was a great success. The nerve was taken out, causing no pain,, and the tooth successfully filled at one sitting to the great relief of the sufferer. The dentists present at the convention were enthusiastic o*ver the demonstration. Dr. Corbett uses this system in hia daily practice. 50-1 On the 9th inst. complaint of larceny was filed in county court by C. W. Uagensick against Michael Tierney. The complaint charges that Tierney took from Hagensick’s blacksmith shop a wagon wheel, tires, buggy and wagon spokes, an account book and a number of tools. Tierney was summoned into court by Sheriff Stewart and by agree ment of both parties Judge Selah set the day of triul on June 19, taking recogni zance of defendant with bond at $100 and H VV.
