“The Song of the Shirt”
....— - ■ , .
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.

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

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.”
