Wyant has built a 30-foot addition to the Welcome rink, mak ing that much more space for the skaters to circulate in. Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Bright were at Plainvlew Wednesday last. Charley noted that crops along the route were not as far advanced as in this vicinity. Mrs. II. E. Graham and two sons, George and Thomas,of Omaha, arrived in the city Friday last and will be guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Hunt for a few weeks.

New cement walks and neatly trim med lawns make one of the prettiest streets in town along Col. Doyle and J. F. Gallagher’s residences. A neat cottage going up on the south side of the block for the occupancy of Mrs. Donohoe is an additional improve j meut. A. R. Wertz of Star was an O’Neil! visitor last Saturday and made this office a pleasant call. He says crops were never liner in his section of the county. Last Friday he finished har vesting his winter wheat and he says it will yield from twenty-five to thirty bushels per acre. Oats are a splendid crop and will be harvested next week. In view of the approaching cam paign, a meeting of the Holt County Republican Central Committee has been called at O’Neill next Saturday to consider the situation, devise plans for the furtherance of the cause and get the candidates before the prim aries. While it is a committee meet ing the presence of republicans gener ally is desired, and all who can should make it a point to come in. The Frontier scribe made a drive to Chambers last Friday. Crops in the south country are looking good except in a few very low places where the heavy rains drowned them out. If they had a railroad through southern Holt, so they could find a market for the thousands of tons of hay that is never harvested on account of the distance to market, southern Holt would soon be the richest portion of the county. Abraham F. Rouse, one of the pioneer and most highly respected residents of the Meek neighborhood, died at his home near Meek last Fri day. Mr. Rouse was nearly 7(1 years of age and had been a resident of this county for more than twenty-live years and was known and admired for his sterling integrity, upright con duct and rugged honesty. The funer al was held Sunday afternoon from the Marquette Chapel,near Blackbird, and the remains intered in the Black bird cemetery and were followed to the grave by a large concourse of sor rowing relatives, neighbors and friends.

Inley was brought before Justice Golden yesterday morn ing, waived preliminary and was bound over to the district court in the sum of $.700, which bond was signed by Joseph Obermire. The de fendant Inley is a gray haired man about 50 years of age. Hit by Hail Last Monday afternoon between 5 and <i o’clock a destructive hail storm done considerable damage to crops northwest of O’Neill. We have been unable to ascertain the starting point but as far as we learn the hail extend ed from Henderson’s, about 5 miles northeast of Atkinson, to J. K. Ernst’s, about 4 miles northwest of ONeill. From Ernst’s the storm ex tended south tothe'Elkhorn river. It covered a stretch of countiy fr..ma mile to a mile and a half wide and about ten miles long. The center of the hail seemed to be at the farms of William Jilg, John Gallagher and Jap Hitts, and their splendid crops were almost totally destroyed. The hail was accompanied by a terrific wind and field after field of oats was blown down and beatten into the ground by the force of the ice. We were unable to learn the names of all who sustained loss by the storm, but the following were among the heaviest losers: J. S. Gallagher lost all his small grain and his corn was badly cut and much of it broken down. He may get half a crop of corn. William Myers lost lifteen acres of wheat and forty acres of oats. IIis corn was not badly damaged. J. K. Ernst lost sixty acres oats. Those who saw his oat field before the storm say it was one of the finest fields of grain in the county His corn was badly cut but he expects to get two thirds of a crop. William Jilg was hard hit. His place was about the center of the storm and it is reported that his crops are a total wreck. Herman Gusse lost fifty acres of oats. Fred Ko-kle lost his small grain. Jap Hitts lost sixty-live acres of oats and fifteen acres of spelts. Mr. Ritts lias one hundred acres of corn and while it was badly battered he thinks he will get two-thirds or a crop. Frank Kubicheck, Bert Lawrence on the Murphy farm, Baker on the Dailey farm,.). P. Mullen, Ed Mullen and Peter Clausen were in tiie path of the storm and their crops were badly damaged. M. C. Coffey, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Coffey of this city, died at Warm Springs, Montona, on July 18th. The remains were shipped to this city and interred in the Catholic cemetery here Thursday morning, the remains being followed to the cemetery by a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends. Deceased was 38 years of age. John Coffey and Mrs. Frank Dailey of Park City, Utah, brother and sister of the deceased, accom panied the remains to this city. This is tlie second death in the Coffey family in six months and O’Neill friends extend the family and rela tives sympathy in their sorrow. Traveling life’s pathway with her consort has again become unbearable to Mrs. Julia Uecker and she has tiled a petition in the district court pray ing for a divorce from (Jus Uecker, to whom she was married on January 8, 1008. In her petition she alleges that he has become an habitual drunkard during the past live months and that he has theatened her life, and has upon numerous occasions called her vile and insulting names privately and before strangers. She alleges that she is the owner of personal pro perty and real estate valued at $2,000 and prays that defendant be barred from asserting any right, title or claim thereto. In a suit tiled in district court on Tuesday, Laura 15. Gladhill prays for a divorce from Evert Gladhill, to whom she was married on December 25,1879. In her petition she alleges that the defendant has failed to pro vide for her support during the past two years, although able to do so, and with what assistance could be furnish ed by her eighteen-year old son she lias been compelled to support herself and children. She further alleges that since May 1, 1908, defendant has lived apart from plaintiff in idleness and has tailed and refused to render any support to herself or family. She also asks to tie given the custody of their two children, C. W., age 18, and John 15., age 15. Mrs. Ellen Mackey has tiled a peti tion in the district court praying for a divorce from William Mackey, to whom she was married on November 12, 1907. Plaintiff, in her petition, alleges that she is 05 years of age and in poor health. She further alleges in her petition that defendant is 75 years of age and a man of vicious and vulgar character and given to the use of vile, indecent and profane language. That he has threatened to cut her head off and has also threatened to leave her and go to the Pacific coast. That he has also failed to provide for her the necessaries of life although fully competent and able to do so. She alleges that he is worth about $1,500 and she asks for divorce from bed and board, costs of suit and such alimony as the court may deem proper._ Death of Mrs. John M. Alderson. Mrs. John M. Alderson, wife of John M. Alderson, one of the pioneers and most highly respected residents of Chambers township, died in Omaha last Friday morning. Mrs. Alderson had been in poor health the past year and it was supposed she was sulTering from gail stones. About ten days ago Mr. and Mrs. Alderson went to Oma ha to consult a specialist and an oper ation was decided upon. It was then discovered that she was suffering from cancer of the stomach, and although all that loving hands and hearts and medical skill could do was doreforher, she sank rapidly and passed away six days later. Deceased was about lifty-live years of age and leaves a husband and family and numerous friends to mourn her demise. The remains were shipped to O’Neill Saturday and taken to Cham bers Sunday and interred in the Chambers cemetery, being followed to the cemetery by a large concourse of sorrowing friends and neighbors. A large company of O’Neill citizens showed their respects to the memory of the dead woman and her family by forming in line at the undertakers and accompanying the hearse and mourners as far as the Northwestern depot. The Frontier and many O’Neill friends extend sympathy in their hour of sorrow. -. ♦ Card of Thanks.

Mr. Leese appeared in his usual good Dealth that day and left his home and went to his son’s resi dence, just accross the road. There was no one home at the time and as he did net return in about thirty minutes his daughter went to the house and found him lying dead on the floor just inside the door.
