It is planned to leave Sioux Cit y on the morning of April 19 and to get lo O’Neill in time for the programme of the day, which will incude a banqnei in addition to the exercises of institu tion. The Lincoln News says •‘recently a traveling agent broke into a Nebras ka town and did a land office business During his stay, a merchant called up editor of the local paper and roasted him severely for giving the agent a nig send-off. ‘The first duty of a news paper,’ said the merchant, 'is to stand up for home institutions.’ ‘I used to think so myself,’said the editor, with a wan, weary smile, ‘and I have stood up for them a good many years, and 1 Haven't made enough to buy new sus penders. This agent comes in here merrily, with a roll of hills as large as his leg, and buys a page of advertising space, and never kicks about tne price; tie lias paid me more in three weeks than all the merchants on your block have in three years, and you may bet your sweet sacred life, Mr. Kafooz leum, that I’m going to stand up for the man wljo stands up for me, and tlie home institutions may go bang themselves.’ There is now talk of running tire fa'sehearted editor out of town ” Postmaster Cronin has received from tlie McKinley National Memorial As sociation a limited supply of the Cer i ideates which have been prepared for distributors to the monument fund as souvenirs of their participation in Lliat, great enterprise. The certifi cate is a beautiful work of art on which is given an excellent reproduc tion of Mrs. McKinley's favorite likeness of her husband, together with a picture of tlie McKinley home in Canton and of the White House. The wording below the illustrations is as follows: “This certifies that has contributed to the funds for the erec tion of tlie national memorial at Can ton, Ohio, in honorof William McKin ley.” The workmanship and artistic effects are of the very highest order, the great house of Tiffany & Co., New York, being the designers and manu facturers. The supply in the hands of Postmaster Cronin is a portion of the first edition of the certificates and is sent here to enable those who have not as yet contributed to do so. Par ties who have already identified them selves witti the movement will receive souvenirs direct from the office of the Association or through local commit tees. The handsome cover of The Design er for ill ay is significant of the many good things which follow, prominent among which are, of course, fashions and millinery for spring and summer, also many novelties in trimmings, all of which are most attractively illus trated. Aside from the fashion fea tures worthy of the highest coinmen-i dation are “Flora Photograph,” by Hurbert McBean Johnston, “Chinese Little Folks,” b.v Jessie Juliet Knox, and a full-page pome, “My Ladle's Gown,” by Maud Sutton. “Sweet Briar,” By Proxy,’’and “A Memorable Memorial Day” are the three short stories of tire month, while “Tile House-cleaners” is a delightfully illus trated. “A May-Day Celebration” and “A Hunting Party” are sugges tions for entertainments, and direc tions for making many handsome novelties in crochet supply the fancy work. “What Women Are Doing” and “Helps Along the Way” are two departments which grow in interest each month, while “Book Notes,” “In Mother Land,” “The Kitchen Kindom,” “Toilet Table Chat” and and “Etiquett Hints” are features which are valuable as well as enter taining. “Points on Dressmaking” treats this month of the making of shirred garment, and the “Lesson in Millinery” tell how to make a Shep herdes hat. “Novel Interiors,” “Selections for the Recitationist” and poems by Theodosia Garrison. Edwin L. Sabin and others add still further attraction to this remarkably attrac tive number. Election Result Mayor.j.

On the face of the returns Jack Harrington is elected mayor over Dr. J. it Gilligan by four votes, but hau the illegal votes, cast in the three wards of the city, been barred Gilligan would have been elected by a majori ty of about 14. It was the most cor rupt, law defy ing election ever held in the city and it is the intent to sweat out complaints against ever illegal voter and prosecute them to the full extent of the law. Not only the men casting the illegal votes will be arrest ed and prosecuted but also those who aided and abetted ti e it to, who are equally guilty, in the eyes of the law.

Extension Er m Thedford. Sioux City Joural: From semioffici al information whcili reached Sioux City yesterday it seems that the pro posed extension from Ashland to Sioux City is only a part of James .1. Hill’s Burlington-Great Northern connec tion scheme. Not only is a north'and south con nect ion to be made, hut also an east and west connection. Both extensions will he built by the Burlington, it is emphatically stated. The north extension will bo from Ashland to Sioux City; tlie eastward extension from Thedford to O’Neill. There was a report in Sioux City yesterday that tltg engineers who have just completed tlie surveys be tween Ashland and Sioux City would be sent to Thedford to correct up the lines which were surveyed there last year. “Mr. Hill’s idea,” said a prominent railroad official, “is to build links be tween (lie Burlington and Great Nor thern so that tlie, immense volume of business which is exchanged between the two roads will not have to lie turned over to some other road for the short haul between the two systems. It is natural t hat tlie Burlington and Missouri Railroad in Nebraska should build these liuks rather than the Great Northern. There will lie no ex tension of the (treat Northern from O'Neill, but a building of a Burling ton link eastward from Thedford.” Tlie Commercial club, of Omaha, is making t strong effort to induce the Burlington to build its extension from Omaha instead of from Ashland. Tlie loss of the north and soutli business of tlie Great Northern and Burlington will be a blow to tlie Omaha gateway. The Thedford O’Neill link would pile trouble upon trouble. Over this line would pass all tlie business between the Twin cities and tlie Black Hills and between the Twin cities and Denver. Great Northern Line Return limit twenty-one days, stop overs allowed at intermediate points. For full information apply to Agent O’Neill, Neb., or Fred Rogers, G. P. A., Sioux City.

Mr. Zimmerman Is an old time resident of O’Neill, an enthusiastic republican and will make a good offi cial should lie accept the appointment. A meeting, which was attended by about forty of the representative citizens of thiscity, and which com prised members of the three political parties, was held in tills city Wednes day evening to discuss the question of illegal voting at the result muncipal I election. According to the list read II hero were about eleven illegal votes cast and it was the sense of the meet ! lug that the parties casting the bollots he prosecuted. All those present ex pressed a willingness to contribute sufficient funds to prosecute the cases, it appears that the day of pure elec tions is near at hand. T. II. Parks, J. Miller, M.J. Enright were arrested Wednesday on warrents issued by Judge Morgan,etiarged with illegal voting. They were released upon $100 bonds and will have a pre lerninary hearing next Tuesday. War rants have also been issued for arrest of I’. F. Thompson and Harry Bain charged with the same offence, and warrants for the arrest of six others, who are charged with illegal voting, will be issued today or tomorrow. It is the intent of the citizens of O’Neill, I irrespective of party, to put a stop to illegal voting and any man who they can prove cast an illegal bollot will be | prosecuted to the extent of the law. Rev. J. M. Caldwell, arrived In the el ty from Chicago last night and ex pects to make his home on his ranch, north of tills city this summer. In conversation with him regarding the trouble in which he became involved in Chicago a few weeks ago he inform ed us that while in the army he suffer ed a couple of sunstrokes that bad a serious effect upon his mental condi tion at that time, but after leaving the army he enjoyed the best of health and his mental faculties were appar ently un-impaired until about fifteen years ago, when he had a slight attack of mental aberation. He was sent to a sanatarium and returned home in about six weeks stronger in boby and mind. Tlie old trouble was not wholly eradicated however as was evidenced by tlie attack six weeks ago. He was again sent to sanatarium and returned home only a few days before leaving for this city. He lias completely re covered and says he expects to remain here all summer, abstain from all literary work and expects the health ful, pure air of this county to restore him to his old-time strength and vigor. I >anger of Colds and Grip. The greatesfdanger from colds and | grills their resulting in pneumonia. I f reasonable care is used, however, 'and Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy taken, all danger will avoided. Among tlie tens of thousands who have used this remedy for these dis eases we have yet to learn of a single case having resulted in pneumonia, which shows conclusively that it is a certain preventive of that dangerous disease. It will cure a cold or an at tack of the grip in less time than any other treatment. It is pleasant. and safe to toke. For sale by P. CJ Corri gan.
