It
To the Women of O’Neill® Vicinity
CONCERNING FALL GARMENTS
*
At all times we have endeavored to supply the women who trade with us the
VERY BEST GARMENTS FOR'THE MONEY. This season, after an inspection of
those lines which seem to be imgreatest favor, we have selected
THE “PALMER GARMENT”
We did this for several reasons. In the first place, the garments are made in the
most approved styles, whether they're for women, misses or children. Then they are
cut on such lines that in almost every case a perfect fit is assured.
The makers are so sure of their garments that a guarantee ticket is given with
every garment. We depend oh the QUALITY of these garments, the good wear they
will give you, to retain your trade and friendship.
The prises—For the Quality offered you, we consider the prices very low; in fact,
we believe we are offering you the best garment values ever offered in the city.
The fail line is now ready for your inspection. If you are interested in GOOD
garments, call and inspect them.
MEN’S CLOTHING—The largest selection of Tailored Clothing ever shown to the trade of O’Neill. The Best is the Cheapest,
and I have always produced the goods. How does it profit a man to buy a suit of clothes at $10, when in sixty days he is in the same
old suit—out of shape out of style? If he buys a Hart Shaffner & Mark suit he comes before the public in style and lias the satisfaction
of knowing he has something that will keep its shape and give good service.

The sporting editor went fishing
the other day with that veteran of
the rod, Joe Cowperthwaite. Frogs
of sufficient avoirdupois to induce the
illusive pickrel to bite were scarce and
iiard to catch. Between the two of
us, we got two large bullfrogs for bait
and began operations to allure the fish
to shore. The sporting editor hadn’t
been at work but a few minutes when '
a 5-pound pickrel took his hook and
started to make away. We were able
to raise him to the top of the water
with the pole and then there was a
pretty struggle to and the big fellow.
He fought and churned the water like a
mad bull, but by getting hold of the
line and making a straight pull we
we succeeded in landing him. Just
as we had him on the bank he bitoff
the fish line and there was imminent
danger of him getting away but we
grabbed him before he had time to
make the fatal flop. He measured 28
inches and weighed a little over 5
pounds. We summon Joe to the scene,
he being at work on bullheads (but
not catching any) at another location
some distance away. When Joe saw
the pickrel he gavo up the notion of
fishing for bullheads and with a big
fog on his hook cast in fcr a pickrel.
There was nothing doing f«.r the next
I hour and a half, although big fish were
churning the water at intervals all
around us. Joe, not having had a bite
all afternoon, told us to take his big
frog and see what we could do. We
took his rod and torlled around a few
minutes right where he had been
working for half an hour. A pickrel
took it and we drew him in. But Joe
played a mean trick on us after we
had hooked a tine fish for him. He
stood where he could grab the fish as
we drew it to the bank and exclaimed
as he clasped both hands about its
gills: “Joe’s got one! Joe’s got one!”
He field up a fine 4-pounder as he
added, “If you tell anybody you caught
this fish I’ll boot you.”
For Sale

Sedgwick. The returns indicate the

100 votes. Valley county had not re
ported today at noon, but according to

votes to 95 lor Sedwick, indicating

in some good licks” for the reform
candidates.

about 18,850, the exact number of his

September.
The goldenrod is yellow
The corn Is turning brown,
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down.
The gentian’s bluest friDges
Are curling in the sun,
In dusky pods the milkweed
Its hidden silk has spun.
The hedges flaunt their harvest
In every meadow nook,
And asters by the brookside
Make asters in the biook.
By all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summer’s best of weather
And autumn’s best of cheer.
—Helen Hunt Jackson.
