will be given at the court-house, be

The Sunday question at West Point
lias been settled by the passage of an
ordinance by the city council allowing
business houses and stores to transact
business on Sunday between the hours
of 8 in the morning and 1 in the after
noon. In the same ordinance the sa
loons are absolutely forbidden to do
business on Sunday and the closing
hour for week days is set at 11 o’clock.
Sunday, Dec. 3rd Rev. L. A. Gro

It is stated that Bernard McGreevy
will apply to the district court for a
change of venue, lie fearing that an
impartial jury could not be obtained
in this county. McGreevy,like every
other man, is entitled to a fair trial
before the courts and if he thinks
Holt county people are prejudiced
should be given a trial in another
county. It is probable, however, that
is fair a jury could be drawn here as
elsewhere as the Elkhorn Valley bank
failure is pretty generally aired
throughout the state.
The following item is'found in the
daily papers, sent from McCook, Neb.,
Nov. 27: The nuptials of Miss Ethel,
only daughter of Mr. Albert Barnett,
president of the Barnett Lumber com
pany, and Mr. J. Raymond McCall,
were consummated last evening at
3:30 o'clock, in the pretence of a com
pany of relatives and friends. The
groom is private secretary to Congress
man Norris of the Fifth Nebraska
district. The couple departed on the
night train for Washington, D. C.” Mr.
Barnett, father of the bride, was
formerly in the lumber business in
O’Neill, when his daughter was but a
little child.
O’Neill merchants are proving the
profitableness of judicious advertising
They have opened up on the public in
a manner that gets the trade. Not
withstanding the very unfavorable
conditions of the weather, people have
been coming to O’Neill the past week
from miles around and adjoining
towns to take advantage of the offer
ings made by our merchants. It is a
well recognized fact that O’Neill mer
chants keep extensive lines that give
quite as good an assortment as larger
department stores. The idea in ad
vertising is to have something to ad
vertise and do it in as few words and
as big letters as possible. O’Neill
merchants have got the idea and are
doing the business.
Somebody who has probably had ex
perience wetting and twisting the ends
of the kids shoestrings in the morning
expresses his feelings tliusly: “The
modern shoelace is an abomination;
yet we have to put up with if. It is
either a foot too long or six inches too
short. It is made flat, as a rule, but
soon becomes twisted and kinky. One
end is eternally getting longer than
the other. The tips come off. In the
old days we made strings of calf skin.
Every farmer was an expert. We
would cut a disc of leather three or
four inches in diameter, stick the
point of a sharp knife blade in a board
place i lie tb imb nail the thickness of
a matcli lrom it, and quickly draw the
string through the opening, the peri
meter being reduced the thickness of
a match at every measure of the cir
cumference. Pretty work! Then the
square string was rolled between the
sole of the shoe and the lloor till per
fectly round, after which it was greas
ed with tallow. Such a lace would last
for months, buttheir.shine soon wears
off, giving them a much-worn appear
ance.”
WHELAN CHEERED
O’Neill Lawyer [Addresses Sons of
Erin at Meeting in Omaha.
Omaha World-Hearld: Tlfe United
Irish Societies of Omaha and Soutli
Omaha joined in a memorial demon
stration in commemoration of the
martys of Manchester Allen, Larkin
and O’Brien—In the hall at Fourteenth
and Douglas streets Friday night.
Irish songs and speeches which flamed
with the patriotic love for Erin con
stituted the program of the evening.
Back of the chairman was hung the
green banner of Erin, while on either
side were draprd the Hags of the Unit
ed States. The chandeliers were
festooned with red, white and blue
streamers. "Michael Hogan presided
at the meeting and recited in a brief
a history of the execution of Michael
O’Brien, William Philip Allen and
Michell Larkin, the three Irishmen
who were hanged at Manchester, Eng
land, November 23,18ti7, ostensibly for
the murder of Sergeant Ilenn, an Eng
lish police officer, who was shot in an
attempt to free two Irish nationalist
prisoners whom he was conducting to
jail.
The speaker of the evening was E.
H. Whelan of O’Neill, Neb., who was
cheered to the echo time and again as
he recounted in graphic manner the
death of the martyrs and affirmed that
the breath which left their bodies on
the scaffold Bred anew the waning
cause of independence into a flame
which would notdie till English domi
nation had passed entirely away. He
spoke of the memorial celebration as
one of the saddest and at the same
time one of the most glorious events
in the history of Ireland’s struggle for
independence. He said that an Irish
American could be true to the land of
his adoption and still feel the patrio
tic thrill and the same reverence and
love for his mother soil. He referred
to the hanging of the three Irishmen
as judicial murder and said that it
was brought about by a corrupt and
perjured English judge and jury be
cause the victims were Irish, not
because they were murderers.
There were tears in the eyes of the
audience as Mr. Whelan described the
scene of the last moments of the
martyrs whose dying words were “God
save Ireland.” He averred that there
is as much potential rebellion in Ire
land today as ever and that it needs
but the right spark to explode it
The victories gained for Ireland in
parliament, he said, were but steps in
the emancipation of the land which
could end only with the establishment
of a republic upon her soil.

The I
Food Value i
of a Soda Cracker I
You have heard that some foods furnish fat, Mq
other foods make muscle, and still others are jW
tissue building and heat forming. H
You know that most foods have one or more m
of these elements, but do you know that no S
food contains them all in such properly balanced M
proportions as a good soda cracker ? aMl
The United States Government report shows aW
that soda crackers contain less water, are richer Ml
in the muscle and fat elements, and have a much Ml
higher per cent of the tissue building and heat Bf
forming properties than any article of food made §jf
from flour. Mr
That is why (Jneeda Biscuit should Vw
