If your baby is scrawny, Scott's Emulsion is what he wants. The healthy baby stores as fat what it does not need immediately for bone and muscle. Fat babies are happy ; they do not cry ; they are rich ; their fat is laid up for time of need. They are happy because they are comfortable. The fat sur rounds their little nerves and cushions them. When they are scrawny those nerves are hurt at every ungentle touch. They delight in Scott’s Emul sion. It is as sweet as wholesome to them. Send for free sample.

Scott Sr Bowne Ckamists 400-413 Pearl Street Mew York 50c. and $1.00 All DruggliU the case of Edward Eggen against the Northwestern railroad, which is to be retried, the jury having disagreed in the first trial. Dr. Kelley, of Randolph, Neb., one of the prominent physicians and drug gists of that city, was an O’Neill visit or Monday. The Doctor was viewing some Holt county real estate with a view to investing and while he seen many tracts that looked good to him he returned home Tuesday morning without becoming the owner of any Holt county soil, but says he expects to return shortly and become possess ed of some of the best land in the state at its price. This news item rrom the Home Trade Advocate is a valuable bit of information: The railroad companies lately have been considerably annoyed by claims made for breakage of stoves and ranges shipped from the big mail order houses. An investigation made shows that many of these job-lot con cerns send out stoves so slighted in the making, or such poor iron, that the least jar breaks them. Cheapest cast-iron is used where good steel should be, and the castings are made so light that the stoves are of little value. A steady stream of money is flowing into the coffers of the county. On Wednesday of last week, Deputy Treasurer McCarthy tells us, $25,000 was paid into to the treasury. Of this sum, the two railroads having taxable property in the county paid $21,607.00. Both roads paid their taxes the same day, the Northwest ern $16,329.95 and the Great Northern $5,277.71. With the tax records of the county cleaned up as a result of the “infamous revenue law’’ and the county coders bulging, there ought to be a substantial reduction in taxes from now on. On Sunday evening, Dec. 10th, under the auspices of the Knights of Colum bus, Judge Wilbur T. Bryant of the Corperative Lyceum Burean of Omaha will delivera public lecture at Golden’s Hall. His subject will be The His torical Man of Nazareth, and all lov ers of high class oratory will do well to here him. As a lecturer, Judge Bryant occupies a position second to none, the force of his eloquence and the scholarly manner in which he treats his subjects having won for him almost a national reputation. This will be the first of a series of lectures to be given by the Knights and a rare treat is assured for all who will attend. The strongest argument against the government ownership of railroads are the municipal enterprises all over this country that do not yield enough an nual profit to pay the interest on the bonds. Hardly an instance can be sighted where the government or mu nicipality or state has the business management of any affair but what there is regular dips into the public treasuries to meet the deficits, l’er haps the most business like conducted of any of the national departments is the postal system and yet there is an nually an enormous deficit in the postal department. The individual will take hold of a business and make it produce a profit when the government or muni cipacity will run behind in the same business. Some matters of importance came up for consideration at the meeting of the city council on Monday evening. Among these was the purchasing of hose for the fire department. When the department was organized it was amply equipped with fire apparatus but a considerable portion of the orig inal property has been lost, destroyed or stolen. The city bought the de partment 1000 feet of hose at an ex pense of something like $500 and they now have only about 600 feet of good hose. Some enterprising citizen who probably has more interest in his own temporary convenience than the gen eral welfare, sometime ago broke into the hose cart house, emptied the con tents of a cask of chemicals on the floor and stole the cask. The liquid ran out over the floor and onto the hose, damaging a coil of about 500 feet to an extent that 300 feet of new hose had to be bought. The fire apparatus has cost the city much money and all these things are a burden on the tax payers. At the meeting Monday the council voted to buy 300 feet of good hose, which will cost f. o. b. Omaha $261.1 J. P. Connolly’s proposition for an electric light plant, published else where in this issue, was laid over till the January meeting. It was votedthat the mayor and clerk visit Atkinson sometime during the month and in spect the lighting system there and report at the next meeting. Col. C. J. Ilolt of Chicago closed a series of temperance lectures on Tues day evening with a word portrayal, coveringan hour and a half, of “Lights and Shadows of City Life.” The colonel’s work here, beginning last Wednesday, was at the instigation of the local Woman’s Christian Temper ance Union and embraced a lecture each afternoon and evening. Members of the union at O’Neill are putting forth earnest efforts in a work that is world wide. They have been organiz ed less than a year and the work the past week may be considered in the nature if a beginner for future efforts along temperance lines. Col. Holt will be remembered by many O’Neill people as having put forth a similar effort here eighteen years ago. He is —barring some of the crude jokes and superlatives—an entertaining speak er, inasmuch as the matters present ed are gathered from personal experi ence and observation. He discusses temperance from an economic and - M. DOWLING. President JAS. F.

The lectures have been free to the public and while not always as largely attended as the promoters of the work would have liked, many sign ed the abstanence pledge. The closing lecture dealt with the extremes of wealth and poverty, righteousness and vice, that are familiar to all who are acquainted with any of the big towns of the country.
