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.
Resolutions of Respect.
Whereas, Our Heavenly Father, in
his wisdom which passeth understand
ing, has called to her reward our sister
and friend, Ellen Erwin; and
Whereas, We bow with reverence to
the will of Him who does all things well,
therefore
Be it resolved, That we send to the
bereaved husband and children of Sister
Erwin the deep and heartfelt sympathy
and condolence of the membership of
Degree of Honor of O’Neill, Neb., in
their bereavement, and as a slight token
of our respect and love, that we drape
our charter in mourning for a period of
thirty days and spread these resolutions
on our records.

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.
