Fifty Entries In Harness Events Ami
Fast Traveling Assured.
ADMISSION SAME AS LAST YEAR
Notes of the Coining Blooded Stock
Show and Ilace Meeting Held
Next Week.
If the weather is favorable next
week t here is now no doubt but what
the O’Neill race meet willbethegreat
l est of the kind to be held in the state
!' this year. Secretary Weekes returned
from Battle Creek last evening with
over fifty entries for harness races.
Several horses are entered here that
have not started in the other towns in
the circuit. This will make a new
field and the line up in every race the
more difficult to guess the winners.
The entries closed last evening and
just before the closing Mr. Weekes re
ceived several entries by telegram,
notably from Iowa and Wyoming. The
entries include horses from seven dif
ferent states.
The fair management announce
that they were unable to secure two
guideless horses to race here during the
fair, as stated last week. One of the
horses “Honest Abe,” will be here.
He has been exhibited at a number of
fairs and has proved a great attraction.
The horse is turned loose upon the
track and paces twice around, a mile,
without a driver. He has a pacing
record of 2:18 and is guaranteed to
make a mile on the tracks here in 2:25
UCtlCI.
Great preparations have been made
for the races next week and the man
agement anticipate a large attendance.
The grand stand has been enlarged to
accomodate many more than attended
last year, and the track is in much
better shape. _
The agricultural society announces
that the general admission fee to the
races next week will be 25 cents. Seat
in the grand stand 25 cents and ad
mission to quarter stretch 15 cents.
During the three days of the stock
show and races next week,Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday, all business
places will be closed from 1 p. m. to 5
p. m.
Kerns-Lans worth.
A quiet wedding occurred last Wed
nesday at noon at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. P-. J. Lansworth of Agee,
when their daughter, Anna Mabel,
was united in marriage to Francis
Marion Kerns of King City, Missouri,
y Rev. DeWitt of the Baptist church
officiating.
The bride needs no introduction to
the people of Holt county, having
been for a number of years a success
ful teacher in the public schools, and
lias won for herself hosts of friends:
the groom is comparatively a stranger
here, but, during his short stay, has
made many friends, and shows his
good judgment by making one of Holt
county’s fairest daughters his wife.
The couple left ou the passenger
Thursday morning for Omaha where
they will make a short stay and from
there will make a trip to several east
ern points, and on to King City where
they will reside.
The best wishes of the entire com
munity follow them.
New Owner of Caldwell Ranch
The Omaha Daily News of last Sat
urday contained the following concern
ing the transfer of the Caldwell ranch
four miles north of O’Neill:
“ A big deal in South Omaha real es
tate was closed yesterday, when Col
onel C. M. Hunt traded all of his pro
perty west of Twenty-sixth on N
street for 1,760 acres ot land near
O’Neill, in Holt county.
“The property of Colonel Hunt com
prised the Hunt block, Twenty-sixth
and N streets, and a number of small
er buildings, in all valued at about
$40,000.
“Dr. J. M. Caldwell, formerly well
known in church circles in Chicago,
is the new owner of the property. Be
side turning over the property men
tioned, Colonel Hunt paid $10,000 ad
ditional for the farm land.
“Colonel and Mrs. C. M. Hunt will
leave in a few days for O’Neill, where
they will reside temporarily. Person
al property to the amount of a carload
was loaded this morning by Mr. Hunt
and shipped to O’Neill.
“Colonel Hunt, who came to South
|J Omaha in 1884, has accumulated quite
^ a fortune, most of which was made in
real estate investments in this city.
He is probably the best known man in
the city of South Omaha.
“Mr. Hunt, who has erected a num
ber of business blocks in this city,
still retains large property interests
here.”

in conformity witli the statute, with
the county clerk, and with tiie secre
tary of state as follows:
“Used stationery and postage for
correspondence concerning his candi
daricy, previous to tiie holding of the
said convention on August 21, 1900,
at a cost of not exceeding $25.
“Paid the Nebraska Clipping Bu
reau, August 28, 1900, for furnishing

been presented.
“Furtherexpenses were made by the
alh.int for personal railroad fare and
hotel bills when traveling, but he un
derstands the law does not require
him to account for these.”
Our statutes prohibit the use of
money by candidates for nomination,
and after nomination, for election, for
any other than such as the necessary
personal expenses of holding a
political meeting, and the latter
is to be in proportion to the
number of voters participating in such
election.

DEEDS FILED FOR REM
Patrick ami Mary Ilagerty Convey
All Their Property.
BANK BECElVEIt PAYS DIVIDEND
Fifteen Per Cent More for the De
positors of Defunct Elkhorn
Valley Bank.
The deeds for the transfer of all of
the Ilolt county real estate heretofore
held In the name of Patrick Ilagerty
have been Hied for record in the coun
ty clerk’s otlice. The deeds were made
out on July 20 in Webb county Texas,
being signed by Patrick Ilagerty and
Mary Ilagerty before B. J. Leycndeck
er, clerk of the district court. The
property, consisting of the Ilagerty
farm and some lots in O’Neill, Is con
veyed to O. F. Biglin. Another deed
is filed conveying the farm, one-quart
er section, from Mr. Biglin to James
Mullen. The consideration in this
latter transfer is $5,000, while $1 Is the
sum in the deeds given Biglin by the
Ilagerty’s.
The latter part of last week Mr.
Biglin, as receiver of the Elkhorn Val
ley bank, paid the depositors another
dividend of 15 per cent, making a to
tal paid of 35 per cent. Not all of this,
however, came from the sale of the
Ilagerty farm it is believed by some of
the depositors, who say that there
should have been some $4,000 in the
hands of the receiver previous to the
sale of the farm. The farm was en
cumbered to the amount of $1,000, and
It is also claimed by some that Mrs.
Ilagerty retained $2,000 of the $5,000
for which t he farm sold. This, with
the $1,000 incumbrance, would leave
about $2,000 to go to the depositors,
the amount some of them believe was
turned In.
