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.

gaged in school work and the comfort
experienced by the children and teach

able thefH to do- better work.

tober 22; at Page on Thursday,
October 24; Paddock town hall

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

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.
