The funeral was held from the Catholic church at Atkinson Tuesday. - >■* 4 The writer accompanied Postofflce In spector Swift on a trip through the northern part the of county last Thurs day. On all sides are evidences of prosperity. At Turner William Nol kamper is erecting a three-story flouring mill which will be a credit to northern Bolt when completed. Mr. Nollkamper expects to equip it with the latest and most improved machinery thereby enabling him to manufacture the finest grades of flour. The mill when com pleted will cost about $7,000. This does not look much like the calamity Bryan told us four years ago would be fall the country in the event of McKin ley’s election. False prophet then, can you believe him now? Every word in the Chinese language has a logical reason for its existence and peculiar formation, and each word con sists of either one individual character or a nnmber of them combined in order to make a complete word. Take the word field, a square divided into sections or lots. When the word man is written by the word field the combination makes the word farmer indicating the avocation of a man who is associated with fields and agriculture. Still more suggestive is the Chinese word for truth sincerity, faithfulness, honest?. It is formed by the combination of a man and a word, thus expressing that one form of honesty consists in a man stand ing by his word. The word for box is indicated by a square having four sides of equal length, while a prisoner is lit erally a man in the box, a fact which is often grewsomely illustrated in China when a criminal is sentenced to death, and is carried to the place of execution in a square box.—Frederick Poole, in the October Ladies’ Home Journal.

Singed this 20tb day cf Sept., 1900. Lizzie Campbell, Sarah Hammond, Maggie Stannard, Committee. WEBSTER RALLY r £ WAS A HUMMER In the language of an ardent O’Neill pop the republican rally at the court house last Saturday evening was a hummer. From early morn until late at night delegations from the honest yoemanry of Holt county kept arriving in the city intent on hearing the gospel of Americanism, truth and righteous* ness from the lips of one of Nebraska’s foremost sons. They heard it. John L. Webster was at his best and enter tained for one hour and thirty minutes one of the largest audiences that ever assembled in O’Neill to hear a political address. It was fine. Clear, concise and eloquent English, delivered by a master of the language, conveyed to the audience the sentiments of the orator and the principles of the republican party. Mr. Webster said be was raised a democrat. Took a musket on his shoulder and entered the civil war a democrat, but oame out a republican He reviewed the history of democracy and said it is and always was the oppo nent of progress, opposed to everything that was good and before completing his address convinced his auditors of the truthfulness of bis assertion. He tackled Mr. Bryan’s 1890 prophesies and did not throw the mantle of charity over him but proved to his auditors that he was a false prophet. Wrong in ’96 why not wrong in 1900? The speaker favored the retention of the Philippine islands. ’’They are ours by right of conquest and purchase,” he said, and more than one pop murmured amen under his breath. The speech was fine and will be productive of much good to the party in this section. Preceding Mr. Webster, Dr. Robertson of Boyd county, candidate for state senator, de livered a few remarks which were well received by the vast audienoe. The juvenile republican quartette won the plaudits of the assemblage with their campaign songs and O’Neill people hope to be able to hear them often before the close of the campaign. Although organized for over a year r it is not generally knfwn that there is a children’s home society in O’Neill. And perhaps there would be nothing said about it now were it not for a re cent visit to our city of State Superin tendent Rev. E. P. Quivey of the Nebraska Children’s Home Society, with headquarters at Omaha. About a week ago Rev. Quivey was in the city. A case was brought to his atten tion while here which resulted in the removal of a boy, Frank Graham, from the home of a farmer near Page to the children’s home at Omaha. The people in charge of the Graham boy were go ing to have him sent to the industrial school at Kearney, but Rev. Quivey was given charge of the boy. This is two children within the past year that have been sent to the home from here. The object of this society is to take in homeless children and secure for them good homes among the people. It is a state organization but works through local societies and is supported by charity. Mrs. W. ^ Evans is president of the local society, Miss Anna Lowrie, secretary and E. H. Benedict treasurer. So that people of this community who know of any children needing a home or want to make a home for any should see either of these offioers. The society is of course looking for good homes for children aud anybody wanting to take a child into their home has an opportunity tc do so, and thus provide for some un fortunate boy or girl. An exchange says: The great want of this country is for more young men who can be given a command and promptly execute it, without asking how or why. There is something lack* ing in our educational system when the boys on leaving high school or college are not fitted for practical business life and will not accept that discipline which must be enforced in every line leading to business. The boy who is compelled to earn a living and commences on leav ing grammar school will obey quickly without question, but in the majority of cases the advanced student cannot come down to the beginning of things as must be. He wants to be chief manager or president. He has gained false no tions of position and is not amenable to business law or order. Many a man amounts to nothing more than a rolling stone through business life because his early training was defective and he will not be under authority of one who has the right to dictate how his work shall be done. No one, boy or girl, man or woman, can have too much education providing it is practical. Bev. Rominger, the new Methodist pastor, will be here for Sunday services. Royal T^AesounkirhiRB Bakino Powder Makes the food more delicious and wholesome Father Cassidy returned last Thurs day night from his lire months’ trip through Europe.

His niece,Miss Cullen, who also spent seven weeks visiting his toric points in Ireland, returned with him. _ Miss Anna Lowrie, who has held the position of deputy superindent of pub llo Inftruction with credit to herself and ' profit to the office the past three years or more, will tender her resignation next week. Miss Lowrie expects to go to Chicago in the early part of the com ing month. The new appointee is not yet announced.' Ewing Advocate: A new postofflce has been established in Holt county at Redb!rd....N. J.
