Fruitless stalks rear themselves in large fields that others years have rolled out fifty and sixty bushels to the acre. However, there is abundance for home needs and but few fields in the corn region will go less than twenty bushels. The way of the agriculturalist is hard. During the early summer months vegetation was drowuded with floods of of rain; in mid-summer heat scorched the fields uutil there was no moisture within ten feet of the surface of the ground; heavy fall rains now spoil the hay. Hay is spoiling ou the ground and in the stack. An old resident of the South Fork country tells us the hay never spoiled in such quantities as it does this year. It was dry aud open when stacked and the four or five inches rain that have beaten down upon the it recently penetrated the stacks and as a results much spoiled hay now stands upon the prniries.

Owing to the absence of Rev. Rominger from the city, who is attending confrence at Neligh, the Methodists will hold no services today. Mayor Gallagher’s proclamation pub lished in this issue will no doubt meet with a hearty response by the people of tO'Neill. It is a fitting act upon the part of the mayor. Al* feel the general solemnity of the occas ion. The whole vast country pays its homage to the memory of the illus trous . American who fell at the hands of a coward. The remains are entomb ed today at Canton, Ohio. With flags at half mast on many build ings and the somber trappings of death hung out in O’Neill early Saturday morning the public was soon aware that the president was dead. The feelings of indignation telt toward the man who caused the president to fall momentari ly subsided aud people stood in mule regret at the great national calamity. Long exp itiations are hut empty mock eries in such events. The president— brave, generous, noble—fell by a coward’s stroke. And as long as an archy lives, as long as men love vtelence better than peace, other presidents, kings and rulers are liable to fall by the assassiu's hands. Grattan Township.
