Garoelon, general agent and collector for the McCormick Machine company in this territory, had his left hand taken off a little above the wrist by falling under the Elkhorn passenger at Ainsworth this morning.

The republi cans of our sister county are making great preparations for the event and promise to give Nebraska’s gifted orator one of the biggest demonstrations ever pulled off in this portion of Nebraska. The Neligh Leader last week was un der the editorial charge of Neligh women, the proceeds of the edition going to Oates aoademy. While a newspaper edited by women rarely fills the popular demand, it always takes on a high moral tone and a literary excell ency not shown in the evety-day news paper. The Neligh women got out a commendable edition. Art Mullen, witb grip in band and long strides, is traversing the county from north to south pole and telling the dear people why they should elect him county attorney ex-officio. It might be interesting tothe “people who pay the tax” to have Mr. Mullen explain -what per cent, “divy” he has contracted with the Independent for on the tax lien sales to which the ropes are being adjusted. Rev. N. 8. Lowrie departed yesterday with a couple cars of household goods and other personal effects for Lincoln. The family expect to follow tomorrow and they will make that city their fu ture home. Their former residence here, we understand, has been bought by William Laviolette. Rev. Lowrie and family have lived in O’Neill for twelve or fourteen years and have been identified with religious and educational works to a considerable extent. Florence Smith, youngest daughter of I. R. Smith—one of the earliest settlers and most widely known men of this community—died Saturday last after a lingering illness. The funeral occurred Sunday at 3 p.m. at the Presbyterian church, conducted by Rev. Beckes, and the remains were laid to rest in the city cemetery. Miss Smith was twenty two years of age. Her father, four sisters and a brother survive her. Miss Smith had a large circle of friends in this community who deeply feel the loss in her death. The sympathy of all is extended to the bereaved relatives. O’Nei.l.

Senator Allen was in O’Neill last Saturday and that afternoon addressed a few voters in the courthouse on the issues of the day from a democratic standpoint. The leading populists must have overlooked the fact of the sen ator’s presence in the city as they were all conspicious by their absence, leaving the entertainment of the senator to himself and such republicans as braved the chilliness of the atmosphera and called upon him at the hotel. It was a genuine "frost.” and we understand Sen ator Allen looks at it that way. Some have been so unkind as to say Mike is responsible — getting even with Alien for defeating him for the temporary chairmanship of the last state conven tion. If he was, there is consolation in the thought that his scheme was a success. While the senator was sitting m the notel holding communion with bis soul and meditating on the uncertainty of politics, an O’Neillite, not in accord with him politically, dropped into the hotel to entertain the senator expecting some of the high priests of populism would soon relieve him. But none ap peared and the remark was ventured, “Rather chilly here today, isn’t it, sen ator?” "Yes,” replied the senator, "but I have been in chilly places before.” It is evident Senator Allen felt the slight given him here. A few moments be fore the hour for speaking a couple of pops appeared and escorted him to the ball, where for an hour and a half he threw mud at the republican candidate for vice-president, thoroughly disgusting many in the audience. The fusionists were disappointed in the speech; the speaker was t disappointed in the lack of hospitality accorded him by the pops. Sc it is horse and horse. After the speech a republican took the senator under his wing and escorted him to. Boyd county, where, it is said, the air was more temperate. C. H. Reynolds, superintendent of the eastern division of the Elkhorn road, was assaulted at Long Fine one day last week by R. F. Rose, a discharged em ploye of the road, who was a brakeman, was discharged several months ago, and was, it is claimed blacklisted, when he attempted to obtain employment on other roads. Rose observed Mr. Rey nolds standing on the platform when the eaatbound passenger came in, and walking up to him tapped him on the shoulder. Reynolds turned his head and was met with several terrific blows on the face and Jaw. He was knocked to the platform, the fall cutting a gash in his scalp whieh required several stitches to close. Superintendent Rey nolds was rendered unoonscions for a time, but was finally taken home to Nor folk, the train having been held for his benefit. Rose escaped before he could be arrested.

They’re taking Farmer Bryan with the biograph machine — * , The moving pioture man says it’s the beBt he’s ever seen; They show him in his overalls, with bools up to his knees, A-picking luscious melons from the wa termelon trees. They have a splendid view of him be hind the old pig pen Presenting moving arguments to his old setting b n; And best of all the films they’ve got is oue of William J. A-driving his self-binder in a waving field of hay. Another view depicts him with a heavy bandied hoe — He’s hilling up the growing wheat in a well-planted row; 1 And then they have him in a tree, where earnestly he tries To find enough dried apples to concoct some tasteful pies. With old blue Jumper, big straw bat and rolled-up sleeves he stands And contemplates the callouses upon his horny hands — Bnt all the farmers will admire the ener getic way He drives the old self-binder throngh the waving field of hay. The picture man has other views, there’s one of Colonel Bill In search of cracked oats in the field up on the peaceful bill. And still another shows him with a scythe — and he looks great. Ah! there is naught the matter with the “farmer candidate!” One view shows William harnessing a horse and you can see That be has hung the crupper where the bridle ought to be; The hold-back is a check-rein — but the best of all, they say, Is where he’s binding into sheaves the scented new-mown hay. The overalls show creases that are straight from waist to toe — The tailor made them that way, and the tailor ought to know. The blouse is cut in proper style, the shirt is dressy too, And, Oh! A stand-up collar lends en chantment to the view, For William is a farming man, he har vests his cracked oats And has the photos taken so they’ll har vest him some votes; And won’t the farmers shout for him with voices blithe and gay Each time they see the binder in the waving field of hay? — Baltimore American.

Contrary to the practice which pre vails in many other countries, the def erence shown to women in Austria in creases with age, and the land is well considered an old ladies' paradise. No Austrian would ever dream of receiv ing a lady’s extended hand wlthopt bowing to kiss It. Children, even when grown, always touch the hands of their parents with their lips before venturing to raise their faces for a kiss. Girls and young married wom en, no matter how lofty their dignity do not consider it beneath their dignity to kiss the hands-of ladies who have attained a certain age. The men are also extremely courteous, not only to Ihdles, but to each other. Ladies’ Tailor Made Suits.
