HON. M. P. RINKAID, M. C—CANDIDATE FOR REELS
- TNTENSE activity and
I1 more accomplished in
the brief period of elev
en months than had
been done in as many
years previously for
western Nebraska, is
the record of Judge
Kinkaid in the national
house of represen tati ves
expressed briefly.
The record of Judge
Kinkaid, who was unan
imously renominated by
the republicans of the
Sixth congressional dis
trict, is his best recom
mendation to the vot
ers. It is a record in
which the most astute
political opponent has
not been able to find a
flaw.
Judge Kinkaid was
elected to congress in
November, 1902; took
his seat in that body
at a special session one
year later. In the make
up of the committees
he was assigned to
those on insular affairs
and Pacific railroads;
introduced a bill to al
low settlers on the old
Fort Randall reserva
tion another homestead
right; originated and
secured the enactment
of the 640-acre home
stead law; secured num
berless pensions for the
old soldiers of the dis
trict; got a little over a
township reserved from
the public domain for
the Fort Niobrara
military post; secured
the opening to settle
ment under the section
homestead law of near
ly two townships ih Box
Butte county that had
been held for resurvey.
; Besides the judge has
kept up the regular
departmental work of
the district, of which
there is a great deal,
and takes an active in
terest in the wishes and
claims of the people of
i- the district of all condi
I tions and shades of
political belief.
Republicans are for
tunate in having the
S judge in the party; the
people are fortunate in
having him in congress.
1__J Let us keep him there.

aave all been claimed by the owners.
“The burdens of life and what to do
(Viththem” is the topic for the Presby
terian pulpit next Sabbath evening.
Service begins 7:30. Offering for home
missions.
Rev. Amos Fetz^r departed the first
of the week for Bancroft, his new
pastorial charge. Rev Mead, the new
Methodist pastor for the O’Neill
church, arrived here last Friday.
The weather this fall could not be
made to order any better. With no
frost as yet to amount to anything,
the corn crop has thoroughly matur
ed. So far as vegetation is concerned
a freeze up can come any time with
out damage.
Hogs at $3.20 the hundred pounds
are pretty good property. In fact,
the products of the farm all bring
good prices and with fairly good crops
and large acreage the thrifty husband
man finds things coming pretty much
his way right now,
Mrs. J. J. Butler and Miss B. Ken
nedy of Lincoln were O’Neill visitors
Tuesday. Mrs, Butler is the wife of
one of the original incorporators of
the townsite of O’Neill. They have
property interests here and Mrs. But
ler was up looking after the same.
There will be the usual heavy de
mand for Elkhorn valley hay this year.
It is considered superior to any other
wild hay and always finds a ready sale.
As an illustration, M. M. Sullivan
shipped the Union Stock yards at
South Omaha a car of hay the first of
the week and got a telegram back to
ship them 500 cars between now and
January I.
We heard of a man the other day
who was using as an argument for
county division a tale to the effect
that the county did not own the
court-house. If it doesn’t own it,
there is a big rent bill that ought to
be figured in when the division is
made.
Next Sunday will be rally day with
the Presbyterian Sunday school. A
musical and literary program has been
prepared for the occasion to be render
ed at 10:30 in the morning. An invi
tation is extended to all to attend,
especially parents of scholars in the
school.
Berle Martin is over from Bonesteel
with his arm in a sling. It comes in
a sling by no unlawful means or belli
gerent conduct. He met with an ac
cident while up a telephone pole ad
justing the wires which put his shoul
der out place and made him temporari
ly a cripple.
W. J. Bryan will address the people
of Cedar county at Randolph October
5, the second day of the Randolphfair.
The fair assoiation tried to secure the
O’Neill band to furnish music for the
occasion but owing to the business
engagements of some of the members,
the band was unable to accept the
invitation.
Democrats positively deny that
there is anything to the story that a
petition lias been circulated by certain
members of the Bryan school calling
a conclave for next month to unite
themselves with the pops of Holt
county to down Parker. Until further
dovelopements, then, the incident
will be considered closed.
The almost unprecedented fruit
crop all over the country this year has
had the effect of cleaning out the glass
jar market. There has been an un
usual heavy demand all summer for
jars and other vessels for storing away
fruit for the winter, until every avail
able thing in this line has been bought
up. O’Neill grocerymen were clean
ed out of jars ten days ago and can
procure no more as the wholesale and
manufacturers arc out.

The rising feminine generation in
O’Neill is taking to horseback riding.
They hang a foot on each side of the
horse just like the boys; which same
is the latest and best method of meet
ing the bumps of the saddle regularly.
Lead Daily Call: The Curts Drama
bio Co. played here the first three
nights this week to packed houses,
giving entire satisfaction. They are
the best of the kind that comes up
this line of road and we can safely
recommend them to our patrons. At
the Opera-house Oct. 3-4-5.
The republican headquarters just
east of Hotel Evans have been put in
Inviting condition, the room furnished
with ohairs, tables, papers and other
reading matter and the walls and
windows decorated with pictures and
flags. This will be the otllcial head
quarters of the Roosevelt and Fair
banks club of O’Neill but it is not
designed to exclude anyone from mak
ing themselves at home there any
time they see fit.
The longest ears of corn on exhibi
tion in the palace of agriculture at
the world’s fair were raised within
the corporate limits of St. Louis and
are displayed in the Missouri exhibit.
The display consists of three ears of
yellow field corn, two of which were
17 inches long, while the other lacked
but a fraction of an inch of that length
Accompanying the corn was a chal
lenge to fill other exhibitors in the
palace of agriculture to produce ears
that would outmeasure the city
product.
It is somewhat remarkable when
you stop to reflect what the soil of
mother earth will produce. The
agricultural editor estimates that an
acre of ground can be made to produce
better than 8100 in products suited to
this latitude in one season. Ills esti
mate is based on a little personal
expeyence. From a patch of ground
30x80 feet himself and better half
garnered garden products to the value
of about $13, actual market value.
This, of course, was husbandry on a
very limited scale, but it served to
demonstrate the willingness of nature
to produce for man. Aside from the
dietary blessings such labor yields,
there is a genuine pleasure in spend
ing an hour or two every day among
the plants and products of nature
during the producing season of the
year.
Straydor stolen, on Sept. 8, 1904,
from Harry Weekes’ place 2 miles
south of O’Neill, one bay mare 8
years old, weight about 1200; scar on
left shoulder caused from thistle; one
brown gelding coming three years old,
weight about 850. Liberal reward for
their return or information leading to
their recoverey.—John Skirving. 13-3
In 1842 a Russian farmer named
Bokareff conceived the idea of extract
ing oil from the seed of the sunflower.
His neighbor told him it was a vision
ary idea and that he would have his
labor for his pains. He perserved,
however, and from that humble be
ginning the industry has expanded to
enormous proportions. Today more
than 7,000,000 acres of land in Russia
are devoted to the cultivation of the
sunflower. Two kinds are grown, one
with small seeds which are crushed
for oil, and the other with larger
seeds, that are consumed by the poor
er people in enormous quantities.
Mrriages
Tuesday morning at the Catholic
church in this city occurred the wed
ding ceremony uniting Mr. Peter
Donohoe and Miss Hanna Morrison as
husband and wife. Both bride and
groom are well known to O’Neill peo
ple and in the immediate vicinity
northwest of here where they have
lived for years. Mr. Donohoe is one
of the most substantial farmers and
stockmen of this section and he found
a very worthy helpmate in Miss Mor
rison.
Wednesday County Judge Morgan
issued the license and performed the
ceremony uniting in marriage the
following couples: Charles Buckman
and Miss Mary Wright of Atkinson;
Albert Brodie of Orchard, son of Wil
son Brodie of Dustin, and Miss Zala
Manning of Ewing.
South Omaha Market
South Omaha, Sept. 29.—We have
had the heaviest receipts of the season
so far this week, there being about
28,000 cattle here for the first three
days. Prices held up fairly well till
Wednesday. Speculators had their
pens filled and could take no more;
this caused a sort of a glut and any
thing but choicest kinds were hard to
dispose of except at a sacrifice.
Corn-fed—Choice steers 86.60 to
$5.90; fair to good, $4.60 to $6.40; cows
and heifers, $3.00 to $4.00.
Grassers—Hay-fed, $4.00 to $4.40;
choice killers $3.50 to $3.75; choice
feeders, $3.40 to $3.60; good feeders,
$2.90 to $3.25; stockers, $2.60 to $3.00
good cows and heifers, $2.50 to $3.00;
cutters, $2.16 to $250; canners, $1.50
to $2.00; bulls, $1.75 to $3.50; veal, $3.60
to $5 50.
Hog receipts light and the market
generally advancing but weaker the
last two days. Range $6.66 to $5.90.
We have had heavy receipts of sheep
again, breaking the record of the
yards, but the demand is so great that
the market has held nearly steady.
