County politics have been talked a
good deal tiie past week but to our
knowledge no one has as yet announ
ced themselves as ready to serve the
people in an otlicial capacity. But by
this time next week several candi
dates will have their castors into the
political arena and we can look for
warm times until after the primaries
in September and from then until the
election in November.
Someone gets up this story: A
schoolmaster once said to his pupils
that to the boy who would make the
best piece of composition in five min
utes on “How to Overcome a Habit”
he would give a prize. When the five
minutes had expired a lad ot nine
years stood up and said: “Well sir,
habit is hard to overcome. If you
take oil the first letter it does not
change ’abit. If you take off another
letter you still have a ’bit. If you
take oil' still another, the whole of ’it’
remains. If you take off another it is
not totally used up, all of which goes
to show that if you want to get rid of
habit you must throw it off altogeth
er.” Result—He won it.
Cards have been received in this
city announcing the marriage in
Seattle, Wash., on June 2(1, 1907, of
R. T. King and Miss Ethel Maud
Hamilton. Both of these young
people were former residents of this
city, the groom being the son of J. J.
King, for many years court steno
grapher for this judicial district, and
the bride being the eldest daughter
of ex-Sheriff C. W. Hamilton. This
happy young couple have many friends
in O’Neill and vicinity who wish them
a long life of happiness and prosperity.
Mr. King is now a prosperous mer
chant in Leavenworth, Wash., and in
that city the latch string of their
domicle will always hang on the out
side for anyone from this part of the
universe.
Exchange: A tramp has beaten all
known records by swimming twenty
seven miles in thirty minutes. lie
merely tried to steal a ride from St.
Louis to Chicago on the rear of a lo
comotive tender. When the train
started he fell over backward, through
the open manhole, into the water
tank. The noise of the train drown
ed his cries for help, and he was
obliged to swim until the first stop
was reached, at Alton. When taken
out he was nearly dead, but the engi
neer was so unfeeling as to call his at
tention to the fact that the water was
only four feet deep, and he might
have stood up. The conductor, also
unfeeling, asked him for his ticket,
but the tramp said lie had not come
by rail, but by water.
The National Amusement company
opened a five day’s street carnival
Tuesday under rather unfavorable
ci rcumstances—unfa vorable beca use
of the busy times on the farm and not
sufficiently advertised. They have
four separate tent shows and numer
ous outside attractions. The free
public performances in the way of
trapese acts, etc., are the best ever
seen here. A 50-foot Ferris wheel and
merry-go-round furnish transportation
for those who enjoy a ride without
going anywhere. The company will
remain here the balance of the week.
One of the most striking acts put on
by the company was enacted yester
day afternoon when a performer listed
as “Val Jean” made a daring dive
from the top of a 00-foot ladder into a
tank of four and a half feet of waterv
It was something new to an ONeill
crowd and the daring diver was watch
ed with bated breath as he plunged
through the air into the water and
came out safely.
The McPharlin-Coffey Wedding.
One of the prettiest weddings of the
year was that at the Catholic church
Tuesday, June 24,1907, when Rev. M.
F. Cassidy performed the ceremony
that united T. P. McPharlin and Miss
Anna Coffey. Clarence Campbell
Dlliciated as groomsman and Miss
Mamie Coffey, sister of the bride,
acted as bridesmaid. After the cere
mony the bridal party were driven to
the home of the brides’ parents, on
Everett street, where a sumptuous
wedding breakfast was served, which
was partaken of by the bridal party
and a few of the immedtate relatives
»f the contracting parties. At 9:40,
'midst showers of rice and good wishes
From a couple of score of friends as
sembled, they boarded the east-bound
Northwestern for a short wedding
trip after which they will return
to make this city their future home.
Tlie groom has been a resident of
O’Neill nearly five years, during
which time he has been in business
