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

eight miles northwest of this city, the '
past month was seized with an epilep

remains were taken to Atkinson for
uuriul by a sister of the deceased.
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. Decea
sed was well known in O’Neill having
worked in this city during the sum
mer of 1909 after recovering from the
effects of t lie shooting.

gineers during the last few days has
reen going over the old grade and
•ight of way of the Atkinson and Nio
>rara River Railroad company, be
ween Atkinson and Butte. Neb., and
n that part Of the country it is believ
sd the engineers are in the service of
other the Burlington road or the
3reat Western road. Should the Bur
ington be back of the survey it is
bought the proposed line would be
'rom Erickson, in Wheeler county,
Nebraska, into Georgory county,
South Dakota. The line by this
jourse would touch O’Neill, the west
:rn terminus of the Willmar and
iioux Falls and this junction would
■onnect up t wo Hill roads. The At

he entire distance between Atkinson
ind Butte, a distance of thirty-twi;
niles, and twenty-three miles of this
strip is graded.

Roller skating has been revived in
the eastern cities and has became a
greater rage than ever before and the
old and the young the weak and the
strong now cut fantastic capers with
the roller skates. 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. ^
