It is unnecessary to use poetry in singing the praises of OAK BRAND SHIRTS. They are a line of shirts that have established for themselves a reputation by their qualities of wear and good fit. When once our customers try this brand they are sure to ask for the same kind next time. Right now our line of these shirts is complete in every detail and we want all the wearers of Oak Brand buttons to buy Oak Brand Shirts. l a J. !=>.

The out of town guests were Miss Blanche !Smith of O’Neill, Neb., and Miss iStuart of Cedar Falls, Io.” Mr. and Mrs. Smith arrived in O’Neill Satur day night. The bride is not a strang er to O’Neill people. She was a teacher in our public schools and had been engaged for another year by the board of education, being rated as one of the most eflicient instructors that has been in our schools. She is lady of education and refinement and her friends here are glad to see her become a permanent resident of the city. Mr. Smith needs no introduction to Fron tier readers as he is widely known and highly esteemed all over the county. The Frontier extends its warmest congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Smith. A representative of the Lincoln Printing company visted the town this week and carried off several orders for printing from some of our patriotic merchants. A Frontier rep resentative was solicited for work by the gentleman from Lincoln, he not knowing we were also a printer of plain and fancy job work. However, during Iris solicitations we got a squint at his list of O’Neill patrons, and were a little surprised, to say the least, to see the names of some of our most influential and substantial busi ness men 'subscribed to orders that could be filled quicker and better and possibly cheaper right here in the country town of O’Neill. O’Neill people may not realize it because they don’t know any different, but the town has two as well equipped print ing establishments of the smaller con cerns as there are in this or any other state, whose architectural depart men is are presided over by men who have had experience in as big printing outfits as the country affords and are able to handle any sort of a commerc ial job. When work comes here from Sioux City, Omaha and other towns it indicates there are shops here that can do it a little better than the other fellows. All The Frontier lias to say to the O’Neill patrons of Lincoln printers is that when they can do better on their printing jobs by send ing away, send for it, but keep smiling faces when some fellow double dis counts you at Omaha or Chicago on a pair of breeches or a yard of muslin. O’Neill Men Thump Him This item is found in the Council Blull's department of Monday’s Bee: “After -making an investigation yesterday the police are of the opinion that the assault on Mr. and Mrs. II. O. Meade Saturday night was not committed by footpads, nor was it for the purpose of robbery. Mr. Meade has recently been engaged in locating homesteaders in Loup county, Nebras ka, end it is alleged lias aroused the enmity of some people in thatcounty. Tiie police said yesterday they were confident the assault was committed by two persons wiio had a grudge of some kind against Mr. Meade, and it was their evident intention to lay him up so that lie could not resume his business of locating homesteaders for some time. This theory of the police regarding the assault they claim is supported by the fact that two men from O’Neill, Neb., were known to be in CouncilJBlutTsJSaturday and they were said to have made in quiries concerning Mr. Meade and his place of residence. The police yester day were looking for the O’Neill men, but it is believed they crossed the river to Omaha after committing the assault. Mrs. Meade’s outciies, which aroused the neighborhood, it isbeleve ed alone prevented Mr. Meade from being more seriously beaten than he was.” Sunday School Workers.
