Carl Edliolm, of Marysville, Mo., was in Dolt county this week looking up a location for a stock ranch. Mr.Edholm was well pleased with Nebraska and expects to return soon. It is something unusual for Holt county farmers to be wishing for dry weather. But dry weather to ripen the corn and sun to cure the hay is what is most needed now. Timothy Duggan, who about ten years ago, lived on a farm north of Emmet, but who now resides in Illi nois has been in O’Neill, and vicinity fc* the past week visiting relatves. J oseph N. Johnson, a farmer near Swan, was in town Thursday making proof on his homestead. Mr. Johnson says the hay crop is No. 1 in his part of the county. Winter Wheat—I have 500 bushels winter seed wheat for sale. Grown , thisseason four miles north of O’Neill. Price $1 per bushel. William Flovm O’Neill, Neb. 8-2pd The only objection landseekers have to Holt county this year is that the corn fields are so numerous and the corn so high that a good view of the country cannot be procured. They have good grounds for complaint. Columbus B. Jackson, residing in east part of the county, came to the county seat Monday, returning home Tuesday. Mr. Jackson reports the crop outlook as of the best and says stock of all kinds are in the best con dition. Jacob Pfund is now mayor of O’Neill. As Mayor Gallagher is away taking a vacation, Jake, as president of the council, is acting mayor. The affairs of the city seem to run along smoothly and Jake is evidently not overburdened witli the responsibilities of the posi tion. V C. W. Moss, of Amelia, was in town last Sunday. W. W.

Guy Hamilton, left for Emnets burg, la., Tuesday morning to attend the amual meeting of the Iowa State Field Trial association and to scatt er some advertising matter for the Ne braska Field Trials which are to be held here September 11, 12 and 13.

The republican county central com mutes met in Chairman Dickson’s office last Saturday and issued a call for the republican county convention to be held in O’Neill, Saturday, Sep tember (i, 1902. It is recommended that the caucuses in the several town ships and wards be held August 30. Attend the caucus and see that a full delegation is sent to the convention from your precinct. John Brady and A1 Miller were down from Atkinson last Friday. They both claimed to have been well entertained while attending the heavy weight ball game. A1 says he throughly enjoyed himself and we know Brady took charge of a little loose silver some of the boys wanted to get rid of, so of course he was entertained. Poor Church, he is about the onlyone that mourns, and refuses to be comforted. Carrie L. Boss, daughter of >1 r. and Mrs. S. Boss, of Bay, died in the in sane asylum at Hastings, Neb., August 17. The remains were shipped to this city and interred in the Protestant cemetery, Wednesday, the funeral being held from the M. E. church. r'v _i a i ,.i j 7 xyv/ovuiuov* m ivo lj -ijia joiu.i um iiiki liad been an inmate of insane asylums for seventeen years, the last thirteen at Hastings. The funeral was attend ed by the father, mother, brother and two sisters of the deceased, and the brother-in-law, Josiah Coombs, post master at Spencer, Neb. John M. Stewart has purchased the bowling alley from Pat Sullivan and is having it repainted and fixed up for tile rush of winter business. John has had the alleys planed over', bought new balls and pins and when he opens up for business will have as good an alley as there is in the state. Bowling was quite a fad in O'Neill last fall, win ter and spring and in fact until some sport started the hand ball, since which time the latter game has been all the go. It’s a great game, a good developer of muscle and a reducer of superfluous flesh. We would suggest that our erst while friend of the Atkinson Graphic try it. E. F. Bowen came to Holt county from South Omaha a year ago last spring and moved onto the old Keeley farm, about eight miles northeast of O’Neill, which he laid purchased a short time before. Last year M r. Bowen raised a fairly good crop but not near as large as it would have been had not tiie drought nipped it a little. Buthe did not grumble, growl or curse the country, for he realized that in ail farming countries they have olf years. This year Mr. Bowen raised a splendid crop and in anticipation of the yield built a large granary to hold the grain. He commenced threshing, but when about half through, had to suspend operations to build an addition to his granary. This gives some idea of the small grain yield in this county. He is going to have more than twice as much grain as he expected. But he ain’t kicking—no, he’s not built that way. Stand up for Holt county. • KX'XXXXXlSXXXXX/.^XXXXXXXtXXXX g;*; <;>» dd FIVE YEARS IN THE PEN .,V. kk x>J XXXXS£XXXiKXXXXXXiKXXXXXXXX>.X The trial of William Barnet t, aceus of horse stealing, mention of which was made hist week, was concluded and given to the jury Saturday even ing. They were out but an hour bringing in a verdict of guilty. Judge Harrington sentenced the prisoner to five years in the penitentiary at bard labor. The trial was a hard fought battle. Attorney E. H. Whelan repre sented thedefendent and made a hard light to save his client from the pen. His plea to the jury was exceptionally strong and well delivered. But his eloquence was of no avail as the guilt was proven to the jury beyond a ques tion of reasonable doubt. Barnett's mother, step-fat iter and brother swore that he was home at “Gienwood, la., April JO, the night the horse was stolen, while representative citizens of southern ‘Holt testified that they had seen him in that part of the county on that date, which was the day the horse was stolen. After the trial Thomas, step-father of Barnett, was arrested upon complaint of t lie county attorney charged with perjury. He was given a preliminary hearing Tuesday and was bound over to the district court in the sum of $300. The county attorney says he has a strong case against him. » The Market.

Porter, who came up from St. Edwards, Mel)., to attend the funeral of his sister Mrs. Geo. Little, returned home this morning. Are you going to the picnic Tues day'f Sure. Everyone is going.

According to the Valdez, Alaska, papers M. T. Rowland, formerly coun ty clerk of Boyd county, has struck it rich in the Alaskan gold fields. The many friends of Mr. Rowland in O’Neill hope that the reports have not been exaggerated; Sam Wolf, sold a Durac Jersey hog the other day for $50, shipping him to a fancy hog breeder in t lie eastern part of the state. A drove of hogs that would bring that figure eacfi would be as good as a gold mine. Stand up for Holt county.

The subscribers to the local tele phone exchange have increased to sue! i a number that the officers of the com pany says they will have to put in a new switchboard arid cable those in use at present time are not large enough to handle the buisness. Some Wandering Willies, or perhaps local light-fingered gentlemen, broke into the Story, brewing Company’s beer vault one night last week and when they left several eases of beer accompanied them. Wm. Laviollette, who is the local agent for the company, says the beer is so popular that people break into tlie vault to get it in the dead hours of night. They cannot wait until morning. That may he hut if v.tts more likely an unquenchable thirst for the foamy heave rage that caused them to risk the penitentiary to get it. The steel range canvassers have stir red up tIre local dealers a little and they are now telling the people what they handle in the line of ranges and the prices asked. That’s the way to doit. If you have anything to sell let the people know it through the columns of your local papers. Write your ads and give prices. The print ers will set them in an artistic man ner and the prospective purchaser when he sees prices quoted will call and see you when in need of anything in that line. It’s the way to get busi ness, no matter what line you handle. Try it awhile and be convinced Mrs. Linda Little, wife of George Lit 1 le, died at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Porter, in this c it y Monday afternoon about 5 o’clock, of congestion of the lungs, after an illness if but a few days. Deceased was born in Iowa, June 14, 1880, and was but little over 22years old at Hie time of her death. She had linen a resident of O’Neill about a year, coming here with her parents when they leased the Dewey House a little over a year ago. Qn the second of last month she was married to George Little, who with her parents, brothers and sisters are left to mourn her sudden demise. She was a very pleasant and sociable young lad.v, with many friends in this city who extend their spmpatby to the sor rowing relatives in this the hour of their affliction. The funeral was held from the M. E. church, Wednesday afternoon, the remains being interred in the Protestant cemetery. John M. Severson, who lives on the old John Leis farm south of Emmet, appeared before County Judge Mor gan Monday and swore out a warrant for the arrest of C. II. Goet hje for the purpose of having him placed under bonds to keep the peace, alleging that lie feared Goethje would do him bodily injury. It appears that on or about August 13, 100 head of cattle belong ing to Severson got onto tlie land and crops belonging to Goethje and the latter impounded them. When the farmer went after his cattle they were unable to agree on t he amount of damages and Goethje retained four head to reimburse him for the dam ages he alleges the cattle did him. The amount he claims is$89.00, and he received a judgment fur tills amount in county court Tuesday. On account of the damages growing out of the cat tle deal Severson wished Goethje bound over to keep the peace. The case is on the docket for August 27. Attend J. >1.
