Monday night and elected the follow
ing teachers for the ensuing year. J.
G. Mote, superintendent; Mary Iloris

Peter McMonigle had a very suc
cessful sale at his place last Monday.
We understand Peter expects to leave

can purchase tin old farm once owned

saw the light of day he may remain a
resident of that isle, unless the be
witching face of some Holt county
girl should lure him back to his old
haunts.
a mawai na clergyman preacueu a
rather exhaustive sermon from the
text, “Thou art weighed in the bal
ance and found wanting.” After the
congregation had listened about an
hour some began to get weary and
went out; others followed, greatly to
the annoyance of the minister. Soon
another person started, whereupon the
preacher stopped his sermon and said:
“That’s right, gentleman; as fast as
you’re weighed pass out.”
Gregory, S. D., Times: William
Nollkamper, Jr., and W. II. Nollkam
per, sous of Wm. Nollkamper of Turn

have the machinery thoroughly over

the mill making its capacity 100 bar
rels per 24 hours run. The mill at
Turner is just 6 years old.
Fred Bazelman has been cleared of
the charge of setting the fire that
burned several buildings at Bristow
some weeks ago. The preliminary
hearing was had at Lynch Monday, a
change of venue having been taken
there from Bristow. Sufficient evi
dence was lacking to hold Mr. Bazel
man for trial and the case was dis
missed. The Froutier understands a
damage suit will be instituted against
the town board of Bristow by Mr.
Bazelman for causing his arrest.
The industrious farmer is now be
hind the plow, the town people feeling
the effects of the busy season on the
farm. Seeding is going forward rapid
ly. Indications are that there will be
good crops this season. Farmers in
this community are putting forth ef
forts to increase the yield by fertiliz
ing the ground more freely. O’Neill
implement dealers have put out a
great many manure spreaders this
season. These machines scatter the
manure evenly over the ground and
are said to be a great thing on the
farm.
S. J. Weekes, who in company with
Dr. Gilligan recently visited Seattle
and other points on the northwest
I’acitic coast, met several former
O’Neill people, among whom were A.
B. Newell, J. J. King, Charley Hamil
ton, Gus Handlon, Mrs. Mary Walker
and others. Mr. Newell is engaged
in the real estate business in Seattle,
Mr. King lives in Leavenworth and
represented his district in the legis
this winter, Mr. Handlon is a railroad
foreman in Portland, Mr. Hamilton is
in the hotel business, and Mrs. Walk
er is a stenographer in the office of a
railroad superintendent in Seattle.
They are all prospering and like the
country. Mr. Weekes says there Is a
great inflow of people Into the country
from the east, but that the immense
resources of the three states of Idaho,
Washington and Oregon have scarcely
been touched as yet. lie expects to
go there himself as soon as he can
shape his affairs to that end to stay a
year or perhaps longer.
Asa general proposition, political
post mortem is neither profitable nor
interest ing, but a second thought is
sometimes warranted. Our esteemed
contemporary would evidently like to
inject the same bitter personal feeling
into the city election that charact
erizes all its political discussion. It
intimates that there was something
irregular in the city clerk acting as he
did in reference to Dr. Flynn’s peti
tion. The duties of the city clerk and
all other officers are prescribed by
statute. The city official takes oath
and gives bond to obey that statute.
But when the provisions of the statute
are observed the Independent would
impute irregularities to the official.
It was neither here nor there with the
clerk whether Dr. Flynn’s name went
cn the ballot or not and
lie made not the least effort
to “fight the case in court.” The In
dependent intimates that the clerk
was in league with one candidate for
mayor to keep Dr. Flynn in the race;
on the other side it was charged that
the clerk was in league with the other
candidate for mayor to keep Flynn’s
name off the ballots. Ilowever, the
clerk lias lost no sleep over being made
a victim of such circumstances and
his conscience rests easy in having
performed his duty as he saw it.

It is always a sign of a productive
season in Nebraska when March
weather is delayed until April. Wind
and absence of rain in April has never
yet failed of being followed with
plenty of moisture during the growing
period.

A case has recently been reported
from Ware, Mass., In which Octave
Girard, who is now 72 years of age, has
accumulated $10,000 in twenty-seven
years on wages not exceeding $1 a day.
He has no trade and not sufficient
education to be able to read or write.
He and his wife have raised thirteen
children, of whom ten are now living.
He says they have always been well
clothed and had plenty to eat. He
generously accords a large share of his
prosperity to his wife, who, he says,
provided their clothing by purchasing
raw wool, washing, carding, spinning
and weaving it into substantial cloth.
He and his wife both came from Cana
da, and he says that his incentive to
save money came from the way the
old folks were treated in that country,
where they often prove a burden to
their children. The rules he lays down
for accumulating monry are: steady
work at low wages, rather than inter
mittent work at large wages; do not
increase your expenses as your wages
increase; marry young, and don’t mar
ry a doll-faced woman; let liquor alone;
own your own home.
