Monday at the home of Harry Spindler
near Meek postoffice and the remains
were interred in the Meek cemetery

was nearly eighty-one years of age.
She formerly lived in O’Neill but
had been spending her declining years
with her children.
J. P. Connelly of Omaha, was in the
city yesterday and today looking over
the town with the view of putting in
an electric light plant. Mr. Connely
is an old acquaintance of D. Clem
Deaver, who informs us that he is
abundantly able to make the enter
prise a success if he undertakes it. j
Mr. Connely returned to Omaha this
morning and will figure on the advis
ability of putting in a plant.
Up in Dawes they seem to be over
burdened with the potato crop. An
item from Chadron says: “Every oth
er business is at a standstill, while all
ablebodied persons who can be pressed
into the service are trying to save the
potatoes from the freeze up. Never
before in this county have they frozen
in the ground in October, but many
thousands of bushels are already lost.
It is no unusual thing this year for
the farmers to have from three to
four thousand bushels apiece and la
borers to dig are scarce. Such won
I
derful averages of all kinds of small
grain have been had in this country
that attention has been detracted
frog potatoes, which are the biggest
thing here. It is almost Impossible
in this big stock season, to get cars to
ship away anything like half of the
potatoes here.”
The Frontier is pained to learn this
morning of the death of Police Judge
O. E. Davidson, which occurred last
night. Judge Davidson has passed off
the stage very suddenly. Less than a
week ago he was in apparent health
and vigor. The slight accident a few
days ago of scraping a piece of skin
from one of his legs resulted in blood
poisoning. It at once resulted ser
iously and it was apparent the judge
could not recover. Arrangements for
the funeral have not yet been made.
President Trenery of the State Bank
ing association, in an able address be
fore the association’s annual meeting
at Lincoln, said: “All the criminals
in Christendom do not injure the pro
fession of banking as much as the
banker himself who goes wrong. The
banks of Nebraska were never in bet
ter condition. The number on the
hospital list is remarkably few and
they are fast getting into line. There
has not been a national bank failure
in the state since Nov. 4,1898. With
in the past year there has been but
one bank failure, the Elkhorn Valley
of O’Neill, due to dishonest officials.”
“A neighboring newspaper man’s
gasoline engine busted the other day.
The paper was somewhat delayed.
The editor being away the devil ex
plained the accident as follows: ‘When
we started to run this edition oi! the
engine gave way, allowing the guild
ertluke to fall and break as it struck
the plunkerflopper. This, of course,
as anyone who knows anything about
a benzine choochoo will readily under
stand, left the gang plank with only
the tliptlap to support it, which also
dropped and broke oil the whapper
choke. This lossened the fluking be
tween the ramrod and the fiber
snatcher, which also caused trouble.
The report that the trouble was
caused by over indulgence in Peruna
by ourself is a tissue of falsehoods, the
peeled appearance of our right eye be
ing caused by our going into the
hatchway of the ashpan in our anxiety
to start it and pulling the coupling
pin after the slap bung was broken,
which caused the dingus to rise up
and welt us in the optic.”
Three good work horses, new wide
tired wagon and good harness, for sale
or exchange for land; also driving
team, buggy and harness if desired.
17-3 E. H. Benedict, O’Neill, Neb.
Graduates From Naval School.
The Frontier is in receipt of a let
ter from Emil Zimmerman, who is in
the United States hospital service.
He says he has graduated from the
naval school of instruction for nurses
at Norfolk, Va , and has been sta
tioned at Newport, R. I., where he is
in charge of the surgical ward of the
naval hospital. With the letter is
also a long clipping from a Norfolk
newspaper concerning the gradua
tion of Emil’s class and speaks of it as
“one of the most interesting events in
the history of the school for nurses.”
The Norfolk paper further says:
“These men, or rather lads, who
are being trained for the stern duty
of caring for the awful consequences
of bursting shell and shattering pro
jectiles, must needs know how to take
a mangled human being, with speed
and without pain to the operating
table below the decks, slinging him
by ropes through small hatches and
they must know how to keep him
from dying on the way.
“They are taught also the art of
caring for the wounded on the battle
field, nor is their training in the
more usual art of snatching men from
death in the hospital wards neglected,
“The drill of the class that gradu
ated this morning showed their mili
tary qualifications as well as their
surgical ability. ‘First aid’ bandages
are applied by them as readily as they
can change the sheets on a bed with
out disturbing the patient. They can
strap a man to the “Ames board” and
sling him between hatches with the
same celerity as they can bear him,
wounded from a battlefield, as their
mimic warfare drill demonstrated
also.”
Any of the graduates of this school
are in the line of promotion, and
Emil’s O’Neill friends will not be sur
prised to hear of him reaching the po
sition of naval surgeon.

National Snnday School Convention.
The twelfth annual conference of
the American Sunday School Union
held in Minneapolis Oct. 17 to 22, has
been the most helpful and inspiring
of any. The Minneapolis Tribune
claims upward of 500 delegates were
present.
Warner L. Carver of Boston in the
opening address touched the key note
to this great interdenominational
work when he stated that there were
yet 14,000,000 children in the United
States without Sunday school and
that this greatest of all Sunday school
missions lias at present 112,000 Sunday
schools containing 6,000,000 children
under its care, and that in the 81
years of its existance has distributed
$10,000,000 worth of religious reading
matter through its missionaries of
whom there are at present 209.
General Superintendant F. G. Ensign
of Chicago stated that 36 years ago
this society asked him to take charge
of this work in the northwest giving
him 7 missionaries and plenty of dis
couragement to begin with, that it
had grown until there are at present
72 in the field, but the work is only
begun for 500 are needed to do the
work properly.
Many things of vital importance
calculated to strengthen the mis
sionary — spiritually, mentally, and
physically were set forth by able men.
Nebraska was represented by ten
men, which should have been fifty,
considering there is 170,000 youth m
the state who have no bible instruc
tion. E. E. Dillon.

The International Live Stock Show
opens this year under conditions
more favorable than ever. The Coli
seum, a handsome new structure
built for this purpose, will be com
pleted and used for the first time.
The display of live stock is to be so
complete that jt promises to even ex
cel the perfection of former years.
Professor Herbert W. Munford of
Illinois is quoted in the following
short but pithy comment on the In
ternational: “It is at the Interna
tional that breeders and buyers
mingle to mutual advantage. The
breeder becomes better informed as
to approved market types, and thus
the international becomes a potent
lactor In giving direction to to the
breeder’s efforts to live stock im
provement ”
Low rates over the North-Western

High School Notes.
On account of the rain last Satur*
day, the foot ball game was postponed
until Monday of last week. In a
grand game replete with awe inspiring
center rushes, nerve thrilling end
runs and hair raising tackles the
gridiron athletes from the Nellgh
High school went down in defeat be*
fore the sturdy O’Neill eleven. The
Nellgh players outweighed their op*
ponents ten pounds per man and in
the first half of the game this super*
lor weight told in their favor. They
advanced the ball steadily up the field
until within a few yards of CNeill’s
goal, when our boys, cheered on by
throngs of hoarse-voiceed rooters,
rallied bravely and held them for
downs. When the first half closed,
the score was 0 to 0, thehall was with
in one yard of O’Neill’s in the latters’
hands. In the second half by a ser
ies of mass plays on tackle and center
together with end runs and grass
bucks, O’Neill succeeded in pushing
the ball across Neligh’s goal line,
making the score 5 to 0 in favor of the
home team.
The athletic association wishes to
publicly thank those persons who as
sisted in making the reception Mon
day evening a success. The event
was the first social gathering of the
association and was thoroughly en
joyed. The prominent feature of the
entertainment was the program, con
sisting of music and literary produc
tions, followed by impromptu speeches
by Supt. Dwyer and members of the
foot ball teams.
The High School erchestra, now
consisting of four members, is mak
ing arrangements to increase its num
ber. This organization is the means
of bringing about a decided change
for the better in the order of literary
programs.
