The following is worth knowing:
When a splinter has been driven
deeply into the hand it can be extract
ed by steam. Nearly till a wide
mouthed bottle with hot water, place
the injured part over the mouth and
press it slightly. The suction thus
produced will draw the flesh down
and in a minute or two the steam will
extract the splinter and iidlamation
together. Try it next time you are
troubled this way.—Ex.
Ira C. Wilson, of Inman, began

month of this year. The case was up
for hearing Tuesday and upon (request
of defendant was continued for thirty

Let not advertisers be discouraged
because of lack of large results at the
first attempt. It is keeping everlast
ingly at it, with advertisements
planned along right lines, that builds
up and retains trade. The steady
going advertiser is tbe individual who
secures best returns for his invest
ment. One week or even one month
is not enough to bring noticeable re
sults. It is the business man who is
“at it and always at it” that gets
good returns for every dollar he puts
in the advertising columns of his local
paper.—Western Pub] isher.

half years ago and has been with
them since. He says the members of

their mining ventures. They just got
started mining the day he left and by
this time no doubt the boys are tak
ing out shovels full of the precious
metal each day. Mr. Watkins left
for his home in Virginia Wednesday
morning.
The Stuart and Newport ball teams
crossed bats on the Atkinson diamond
Monday in a contest for a $50 purse
offered by the citizens of Atkinson
These teams had a battle royal in
Atkinson July 4, Stuart winning by a
score of two to one. The Newport
boys did not believe they could do it
again and the game was matched.
The citzens of our sister town wanted
tlie game bad enough to hang up a
purse for it and got the game. A good
sized crowd was in attendance many
going from hero expecting to see a
good game but it proved to be a slug
ging match and a foot racing contest,
Newport winning out. The score
stood Newport 18; Stuart 7.
S. W. Newell, a traveling jewelry
peddler, was arrested at Chambers last
Saturday upon a complaint sworn to
by Ed. Coppoc, charged with peddling
without a license. He wasbroughtbe
fore W. J. Daugherty, justice of the
peace for Chambers township, and ask
ed for a change of venue to the county
court. The change was granted and
the case was before Judge Morgan
yesterday. Mr. Newell said his at
torney was out of town and asked for
a continuance for thirty days. The
thitreth day brought it on Saturday,
August 16, and Mr. Newell informing
the court that as that day fell on Sat
urday and it being about the only day
he could catch suckers in town, asked
that the case be set for the following
Monday, August 18, which was done.
On July 10 Agnes Hamerling, of
Boyd county, swore out a warrant in
the county court, charging Leonard
Squires with stealing a bicycle valued
at $50. We understand that Miss
Hamerling was returning home from
an eastern visit and had the bicycle
checked through. She gave the
check to Squires, who was then clerk
at the Odgen, to get the wheel for her.
He got the wheel, but instead of
delivering it to the owner, sold it for
$4.00, then left town. The county at
torney being out of town Miss Hamer
ling consulted an attorney, they went
before the court and swore out the
warrant for Squires’ arrest. The
county judge turned the warrant over
to Sheriff Hall for execution. Before
the sheriff could go to Long Pine,
where Squires was reported to be, to
serve the warrant, the county attor
ney returned. He became indignant
that some one should assume to per
form the duties of his office, saying
that lie would start all suits and
ordered the sheriff to return the war
rant to the county court. The sheriff
complied with his request and there
the case rests. The party who pur
chased the wheel turned it over to
Miss Hamerling when he learned the
wheel was stolen from her.

Important Land Contest.
Thomas Monahan, of South Sioux
City, has been in O'Neill this week

"The Two Boys"
A good story is told as a result of
Judge Dickinson having recently
shaved off his mustache. Mr. Weekes,
Mr. Snyder, the judge and his son
went out on the Eagle on a little fish
ing trip. Another party who made
an effort to catch up with them made
inquiry at a farm house for Mr.
Weekes and his party, the reply being
“yes, we saw Mr. Weekes Mr. Snyder
and the two boys go by here..”
It is said the judge is going home
straight away and stay at home till he

boys” was too much for him.
