The city council are determined to
put a quietus upon tlie gambling that
has been carried on in tlie saloons of
the city. The past two or three years
those who delighted to sit in a game
where “jack-pots,” “straights” and
“full-hands” caused the smiles to
illuminate the phiz of tlie fortunate
possessor, especially if the hand was a
winner and the pot a good-sized one,
could be accommodated at any hour
if tlie day or night. A reasonable
limit was nearly alway placed upon
the game, so that the player, after
gulping a few strong cock-tails, would
not imagine himself a Vanderbilt and
try to “raise” the “stayers” out. But
should the possessor of a good-sized
"roll” evince a disposition to Indulge
in tlie national game without being
hampered with a limit his desires
were always acceded to and the limn
raised to the extent of his pile. When
the time for “cashing in” would
arrive the chances were that the pih
had changed hands during tlie hours
of tlie night and a very small limit
would cover the remnant of t he pile
in tlie pockets of the man who had
been so anxious to have the limit
reach tlie sky the night before, and lie
left the field of action a sadder and a
wiser man. The city officials taking
official recognition of tlie numerous
reports about gambling notified the
s aloons that no gambling for money
should be allowed in their places of
business and a fracture of this order
would be considered sutfioient grounds
for tlie cancellation of their license.
Since that time everything ran along
smoothly, and if gambling was carried
on it was kept from tlie knowledge of
the general public, until New Years
day when Joe Hoyer claimed to have
lost about $50.00 shaking dice in
Frank Leahy’s saloon. We under
stand that lie has had refunded more
money than lie lost and lie is satisfied
with tlie outcome, but not so tlie city
government. Their explicit orders
have been broken and they have or
dered Mr. Leahy to appeal before
them next Monday night to show
cause, if any, why his liquor license
should not be revoked. Tlie session
promises to be interesting.
Columbus Times: A long, lank
youth dropped intoNiewohner’s jewel
ry store Monday and after gazing at
some fraternity pins asked: “IIow
much is this one with a square and a
pair of compasses'?” pointing to a Ma
sonic pin. “Five dollars,” said Ed.
“You haven’t got one with any hand
saw on it have you. I’m just outer
my time and so I’m going to set up as
a carpenter and jiner I’d like to have
something to wear so folks would
know what I was doin’, I'll take it.
though I’d like to have one with a
handsaw, but 1 guess this one is plain
enough. The compass is to mark out
your work and 1 lie square is to measure
it, and any darn fool knows that G
stands for gimlet.”
Joe Lichty was arrested January 2,
on complaint of Daniel A. Doyle,
charged with having stolen turkeys
from the complainant to the value of
$5.00, on or about December 22. He
was taken before Judge Morgan, plead
guilty and was sentenced to five days
in the county jail. After Judge Mor
gan provided him with board and
lodging at tlie county’s expense for
five days Lichty said he had help in
getting tlie turkeys; that his assistant
was Ills brother-in-law, David Me
t llini^H 4l,.r> ln4-tn*
who disposed of the plunder. A war
rant was issued for McAllister and lie
was brought before the county judge
last Saturday, plead guilty and was
given ten days in the county jail.
The receiver of the stolen turkeys has
not been apprehended yet but Mr.
Doyle says he has him spotted and will
have him hauled before the bar of jus
tice and given the penalty for his
crime. There has been a good deal of
this petty pilfering carried on in
O’Neill the past year and it is about
time an effort was made to put a stop
to it.

Nich Is- V oodbury.
Pittsburg, Kansas, Daily Headlight:
V pretty home wedding was that of
Miss Lidia A. Nichols and Mr. C. E.
Woodbury both of this city which took
place last evening at 5 o’lock at the
home of the bride's mother, 303 (South
Locust street. Rev. J. II. Gibson of
ficiating. Only the relatives and a
few immediate friendsof the contract
ing partiesw'tnessed the happy event.
The Nichols home was beautifully
decorated In white and green, potted
plants and flowers presenting a very
pleasing and attractive appearance.
Promptly at the hour appointed the
bridal part y entered the parlors usher
ed in by Master Colon Newell, nephew
of the bride, with the groom and Rev.
Gibson in advance.
They were followed by the bride and
her mother in advance of whom little
Clover Newell as the floral fairy, strew
ed the path of the bride with flowers
which was very beautiful and pleas
antly suggestive. The bride and
groom took their places under a large
and beautiful arch of roses, pine and
evergreen, where they spoke the vows
that made them husband and wife.
Immediately after these words the
arch opened at the top, and the newly
married couple were in the midst of
ashower of roses and leaves,emblemat
ical as it were of their future.
The bride wore a handsome gown of
creme crepe, trimmed in lace, and
carried a flower bouquet of bride’s
roses, while the groom was dressed in
the conventional black.
Arter me ceremony and congratula
tions an elegant luncheon was served,
after which they were escorted to the
Missouri Pacific depot by a score of
their friends and left on the 7:20 train
for Kansas City and Bloomington, Il
linois, on a wedding trip to be absent
about a week or ten days. Unluckily,
however, for the bridal couple but
fortunately for the friends at the de
pot, the train was one hour late and
as result their life was made miser
able during the wait by the good nat ur
ed jokes played upon the couple by
their friends and when the train did
come they departed amid a shower of
rice and old shoes, for good luck.
Mr. and Mrs. Woodbury need no in
troduction to Pittsburg. The bride
grew to womanhood here and is ac
complished and highly esteemed, and
was for several years a popular and
successful teacher in the city schools.
The groom is one of Pittsburg’s lead
ing business men and is of the real
estate firm of Woodbury & Pierce, and
at the last election was selected to fill
the ollice of clerkof the district court.
He has been in Pittsburg for years
and is well liked. A large circle of
friends tender their congratulations.

Degree of Honor Resolutions.
Whereas, Death has again entered
our community and displayed his
power over humanity by removing
from our midst our beloved sister,
Abbie M. Sullivan, thus again proving
the uncertainty of life, and
Whereas we consider her loss as irr*
parable to our organization and to
the community, we are fully aware
that the ties of kindred are much the
stronger, therefore be it
Resolved by O’Neill Lodge No. :$4,
O’Neill, Nebr., to tender to the hus
bind, children and relatives of the
deceased, our tenderest sympathy and
affection, and
Resolved that a copy of the resolu
tions be presented fra the family of

The severe wind storm of Monday
and Tuesday done considerable dam
age to barns and windows in this vici
nity. A large glass in the postoffice
frount was blown in and one of the
windows in Mrs. Cress’ restaurant
suffered a like fate. The large hay
barn of Ryan & Milligan was unroofed.
It will cost about $20o to repair the
damage done to this building. It is
a veryforunate thing for the residents
of tlds portion of the state that the
wind storm did not come two weeks
earlier, when we had about a foot Of
loose snow upon the ground, as we
would have a storm that would have
caused a great lossof life and property.
As it is we think we have been very
fortunate.

it: "I hereby certify that A-B
has been my gardener for over two
years and that during that time he
got more out of my garden than any
man I ever employed."
