Mr. and Mrs. Michael Holland of David City, Nebr., arrived in the city last Friday night to attend the Dug gan-Ryan wedding, and returned home yesterday morning.

At present he is county clerk of But ler county and a candidate for re election. Roy Bradley, O’Neill’s crack twirl er, pitched sixty-three games the past season and won fifty-eight of them, losing but five.

This is a record that we believe is unequaled by any amateur pitcher in Nebraska. C. M. Hunt sold his 800-acre farm, known as the south Caldwell place, last Thursday to Chas. M. E.

About one year ago Mr. Hunt pur chased a little over 1800 acres from Dr. Caldwell and he informed us the other day that he had made about $10,000 during his one year's residence in old Holt. Mr. Hunt expects to spend the winter in California and will return to O’Neill next spring. Mr. Patterson expects to move his family here next week and take pos session of his home. Ryan-Duggan. A pretty wedding Tuesday morning was that of Miss Nora Ryan, daughter of Mrs. James Ryan, and Timothy Duggan, of Roanoke, 111., celebrated at 6 o’clock at St. Patrick’s Catholic church, Rev. J. Moore officiating. The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Nellie, while James Holland, a nephew of the groom was groomsman. The bride is the daughter of Mrs. James Ryan and was born and grew to womanhood in Holt county. Her parents were among the first settlers in the territory now known as Holt county, having settled upon a farm about five miles west of O’Neill thirty three years ago. For the past two or three years the bride has been one of Holt county’s most successful teachers and by her lady-like demeanor and sweet disposition she won and re tained friends. r The groom is a young man of exem plary habits and sterling integrity. He was formerly a resident of this county, living about six miles north west of this city, but left h< re some sixteen years ago, moving to Illinois, where, in company with his brother, he entered the coal mining business in which they were very succassful and they now control several mines in the vicinity of Roanoke. After the wedding ceremony* an elaborate wedding breakfast was served the wedding party and about thirty invited guests at the home of tlie brides’ mother. Mr. and Mrs. Duggan were the re cipients of many beautiful and costly wedding presents which testified to th,; esteem in which they are held by friends and acquaintances. Amid showers of rice, old shoes and good wishes the haopy young couple boarded the 10:15 Northwestern train for their future home at Roanoke, 111., and it is the earnest wish of their scores of O’Neill friends that their jonrney through life will be a long and happy one. A Substantial Present. The following clipping from a Park City, Utah, paper refers to a former O’Neill boy, son of Mrs. John Dailey of this city: At a meeting of the King Coalition company held in Salt Lake last Satur day afternoon at which the general dividend of 3 per cent was declared, Superintendent M. J. Dailey was ren dered a substantial testimonial in the shape of a check for the sum of $4,000. Such action is unusual for a mining company, and it speaks for the high regard in which Mike is held by his employers. Every Parkite knows well what Mr. Dailey is and what the re sults of his efforts for the King com pany have amounted to, and all are aware that he is very worthy of the confidence placed in him by the big management. In commenting on the action of the directors and in praise of Mr. Dailey, the Salt Lake Tribune of last Monday said: "Among the several interesting matters that arose in this meeting of the Silver King family was that of issuing to Superintendent Mike Dailey a testi monial of their esteem and apprecia tion for his many yeais of faithful service with the Silver Kingcompany. This took the form of a check for the sum of $4000. This rather unusual action by the directors marks a new departure in mining, as it is seldom that a man’s services, no matter how ellicient he may be, are rewarded by more than the salary. In the case of Mr. Dailey, however, the testimonial is highly proper. The Silver King company lias made history of the most honorable sort for all Utah and the mining West, tossing its *12,000,000 in dividends to Its stockholders with unerring regularity. All this history has been made during the period that Mr. Dailey has been in charge of the property as superintendent. ITe knows the Silver King ground as no other man, and to his faithful application to duty and knowledge of the Silver King geology is due no small part of the excellence of that organization as a producer and dividend payer. Upon the reorganization of the Silver King company there was placed upon Mr. Dailey’s shoulders the responsibilities incident to the operation of several large mines instead of one. It means harder work within the same number of hours, and he has grasped the task with his usual vigor and thorough ness. A trip each day through the many miles of under-ground workings in the old Silver King ground is no small undertaking, and to follow this up with an inspection of the old Kearns-Keith and uther groups with in the amalgamation takes time and energy. The action of the directorate, therefore, in recalling these things and the long term of service of Mr. Dailey is logically correct and apropos. During the many years to come of Silver King’s usefulness, it is to be hoped that Mr. Dailey will be found in charge of the mine, and it is safe to say that this is the wish of each and every stockholder in the organization. He is r: ceedingly popular with tiie miners employed by the company, and his thoroughness can be noticed round the Silver King from the lowest level to the surface. One item not usually taken into consideration by mining companies is the looks of the surface. Mr. Dailey has made the Silver King grounds look like a garden, for it is his theory that (lowers and grass are cheaper to raise than weeds and rub ish. Following out this theory by him has created a condition round the Sil ver King that attracts attention first of all on the part of the visitors. Mr. Dailey is a thorough miner and an affable gentleman, whose ability is appreciated by no one more than by those who are at the head of the Silver King company ” Exchange: And It came to pass that after he had advertised his goods there come unto him greatmultitudes from all the regions round about, and did buy of him. And when his com petitors saw it, they marveled among themselves, saying: “How be it that this man is busy, while we loaf about our doorsV” And he spake unto them saying, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, in this fast age of push and hustle it is easier for a camel to enter the eye of a needle than for a business man to flourish without advertising.” Atkinson, Neb., Oct. 15.—Special Norfolk News: A prairie lire north of town did a great deal of damage. A high wind was raging and though the fire did not burn a very great distance it was severe, and one man lost ten stacks of hay and another more than that number. The origin of the fire is not known exactly. John Segar and Mr. Shaafe were among the losers. Over 100 men were soon at work and kept it up until late at night. One family who were going home from town saw the blaze, and as soon as they could change clothing began to work without any dinner and it was 10 o’clock at night before they had anything to eat. It was hard work while it lasted but did not run very far north. Educatoinal Notes. Teacher's examinations will be held Oct. 18th and 19th at O’Neill and Oct. 19th at Atkinson. The teachers we visited in their schools last week are Rhoda Sherman, Florence Snyder, Lida FritchofT, Anna Torske, Kate Corrigan, Minnie Stor Johanu, Genevieve Ilerlg, Harriet Warner, Maude Rouse, Louisa Lind burg, Ed Larson and Jane Flannlgan. In eight of the twelve districts vis itor] improvements had been made recently in the forms of new roofs, /sidings, plaster, fences and supplies of new books. The other four build ings were either in good repair or will be repaired soon. This state of interest among school boards is most encouraging to all en gaged in school work and the comfort experienced by the children and teach er will be appreciated; and it will en able thefH to do- better work. City and county superintendents and city principals will hold their an nual meeting at Lincoln Oct. 24th, 25th and 2(ith. “How to Secure State Aid for Weak Districts” is one of the Important topics on the program.

School boards in the towns will readily see the weight of the subjects to be discussed and the importance of having their superintendents attend the meeting. Florence E. Zink, County Superintendent. Advertised Letters. The following letters remain un called for in the O’Neill postotfice for the week ending October 12th 1907: Miss Ida May Parkhurst, E. J. Goodfry. Postals—A.

The Modern Remedy company com menced operations at the opera house Tuesday night and will stay a week. The entertainments are good and a large house greets them nightly. Political Meetings lion. J. A. Douglas, republi can candidate for district judge will speak at Chambers on Oc tober 21; at Inman Tuesday, Oc tober 22; at Page on Thursday, October 24; Paddock town hall on October 25. Mr. Douglas is a good orator and the people should turn out and hear him discuss the issues of the cam paign. Remember the dates. Claude Hancock was a Norfolk vis itor Sunday. County Judge Malone and wife spent Sunday at Inman. O. O. Snyder is in Omaha tills week attending the grand lodge meeting of the I. O. O. F. The chicken pie supper at the Meth odist parsonage last Thursday evening was well patronized. A very pleasant time was had by a number of the young folks at Golden’s hall last Thursday night. Danctag and games were the issue. Willard Hess returned from York the first of the week after having taken a two weeks’ course of school. Eli Hershiser sold a span of mules Wednesday for $405. There is cer tainly money in horses and mules these days. Divorces are about as quickly ob tained in Holt county as they are in South Dakota. On October 5, J. B. Berry filed filed a petition in the dis trict court praying for a decree of di vorce from his wife, Ella H. Berry, and before supper that evening he was again a single man, the decree having been granted him on the afternoon of October 5th. Cruel and inhuman treatment were the grounds upon which the decree was prayed for. William Laviollette returned Mon day evening from a five months’ visit with relatives in Michigan and Can ada. Bill says that during ills ab sence he spent most of his time fish ing and he has some “whopper” fish stories on the end of his tongue that he springs on unsuspecting friends with the slightest provocation. If he succeeded in capturing salmon, cod fish and trout half the size of the ones he says he caught he must have had a dandy time. Lincoln Star: Augusta H., who married Fred O. Bitney on February (i, 1906, at O’Neill, Nebr., was today granted a divorce on showing that de fendant for the last year had refused to support her notwithstanding the fact that he knew here to be in deli cate health and unable to do manual labor. On showing by the plaintiff that defendant was extremely anxious that a divorce be granted as he was desirous of re-marrying, the court in serted in the decree a provision for ever barring the defendant from mar rying again. E. S. Eves has purchased the Atkin son Ledger and moved the plant to this city where next week he announ ces he will commence the publication of a paper to be called the Holt Coun ty Democrat, which will expound democratic doctrine. It was general ly supposed that the O’Neill news paper field was well filled with two papers and the majority of the busi ness people have been unable to dis cern the crying need for another. The Independent has been expound ing democratic-populistic doctrine during the past few years and if not satisfactory to democrats it has been because they have been backward about furnishing copy. If the Inde pendent is able to retain the support of its democratic-populistic supporters we apprehend that there will not be a fortune in the new venture. At any rate the scrap between the Independ ent and the Democrat promises to be a warm one. Cash Paid For Poultry. Bring in your poultry to J, T. Yan tzi, the O’Neill poultry man, and get the cash for them. lo-4-p
