DUE. | The art features of The Designer • for January, 1903 are effective to a marked degree, and are typical of the progressiveness of this popular publi cation, which is'always the herald of up-to-date fashions and interests es sentially feminine. Edited by women, it caters especially to womanly tastes. Most charming and original are the fancy costumes, and stylish and sea sonable are the millinery designs, the latter being accompained by a practi cal article on hat making. “In-door Exercises for Children,” by Dr. Sarah A. French-Battey, and “Toilet Table Chat” are of real hyginic value, and the departments of “What Women are doing” and “helps along the way” both edited by the readers of The Designer, are helpful and decidedly novel. The literary features comprise two short stories, “At Heron’s Crag,” by Elizabeth Roberts Macdonald, and “Mr. Coyote,” by L. O. Lennart, “The Domestic Side of the White House,” by Waldon Fawcett, “The Feast of the King,” by G. W. Jacobs, and a parlor comedy, “A Sudden In spiration,” by Mary Dawson. Mary Kilsyth furnishes “Attractive Cor ner,” Josephine Yates, “Some Em ployment of Busy Fingers,” and Ila Earle Fowler tells us what to do “When the Stocking Bag is Full.” “Pencil and Paper Games,” by Mrs. S. P. Carusi, supplies numerous in structive and jolly entertainments for young folks and their elders, ail of which may be arranged at trifling cost. Points on Dressmaking,” “Fas hions and Fabrics,” “Etiquette Hints,” “Book Notes,’’ Floriculture.” “In Motherland” and “The Kitchen Kingdom” are departments some one of which will appeal to some one member of the family. The verse in this number is supplied by Florence Gertrude Ruthven. Bassett Eagle: The Newport Ti gers are pushing a scheme for organiz ing a base ball league next spring, to be composed of teams from O’Neill. Atkinson, Stuart, Newport, Bassett, Longpine, Ainsworth, and Valentine. The plan contemplates at least one game a week a preferably on Satur day, and we have had imformal talks with fans in seven of the eight towns mentioned all of whome are in favor of the scheme. As outlined, but lit tle expense will be incurred by the towns furnishing players, and we would be pleased to hear from all par ties interested in the national game. If deemed feasible we will later call a meeting of those, who are willing to manage the various clubs, and a com plete organization will be effected. We invite the papers in tne various towns interested to give publicity to this article, and the editor of the Eagle invites correspondence on the subject. Lynch Journal: Work was begun Monday on the the new bridge and has been pushed as fast as the weatli er would permit all week. The peo ple of Lynch will be more than pleas ed when this is completed as will also the people south of the river as it will mean the shortening of 'their road to market by many miles.

J>engn xeaaer: xne game ot root- • oall at O’Neill on Thanksgiving be tween tlie high school team of that place and the Neligh high school eleven was won by the latter by a >core of (i to 5. There was a large at tendance of O’Neill people and the rooters were out in force, it being al most impossible to keep rooters and coachers outside the sidelines. Home luties prevented an attendance from Neligh and the boys went unatten ded. Owing to the lateness of the train the game was delayed until late in the afternoon. In the even ing a banquet was given the Neligh ooys, and they returned home more than pleased with their reception and treatment by the O’Neill higli ' school. 1 Clark Guy, who has been picking corn for Lawrence Finnigan, about 1 eight miles northwest of this city, the ' past month was seized with an epilep tic tit last Sunday afternoon aiid dieu l’uesday morning about 9 o'clock without regaining consciousness.

About three years ago deceased was shot in the head on a ranch south of Atkinson in a quarral over a girl and ior months was not expected to live, and it is a miracle how lie ever manag ed to live through it as the bullet, il was claimed by the physicians who attended him, passed through his brain. But while lie recovered his , physicial strength mentally he was far from weil and it is belived tire effect of the shot brought on the epeiiptic tit in which he died.

The skates are dif ferent now to what they used to be in the days of the O’Neill “Roller Acad emy” and Martin Young. The little wheels which were formerly of highly polished wood and as smooth as glass, are now "made of rubber and therefore are not as liable to shoot from under the operator as the old-time skates. As O’Neill is always up to date we are now to have a skating rink which will be conducted by Dr. J. W. M-. Leran and Ralph Evans. They have ordered about seventy-five pairs of skates and will have a grand opening on December 16. The management insist that the best of order shall pre vail and they will so conduct it that it will be an enjoyable place to spend an evening. It is good exercise and we predict will prove popular in this city. ^ Great Northern Railway W. & S. F. RY.
