The Live Stock Market
>miHi Omaha, Keh.,Oot. 29.—Spec
ial market letter from Nye-Schneider
Fovvler Go
Fear of election dullness together
with had weatiier, combined to cut
shipments down so that the week
starts out with the lightest run since
the western season began. Market
is fully active with all buyers looking
for supplies. There is still nothing
of consequence being offered in the
way of corn fed cattle and the offer
ings of range beef are quite limited
and the quality not extra good The
same decrease in receipts was shown
in cow and butcher stock and this
market was stimulated by a number
of orders from outside buyers. Com
mon and canning classes did not show
much improvement but anything of
good quality 10 to 15 cents higher.
The same amount of advance was
shown in all classes of killers both
western rangers and eornfed. The
yards were cleaned up of stockers and
feeders very closely last week owing
to tiie stormy weather and specula
tors being willing to sacriflee in price
in order to get them off their hands.
As a result there was a keen sharp
demand for anything fresh in this
line this morning, and prices were
generally 10 to 15 better than E'riday.
We quote:
Choice corn feed beef.$6.20@#7.00
Fair to good. 4.25@ 6.10
Range st eers .. 4.40(a) 5.65
Others from.3.50 to 4.35
Cows and heifers.3.25(r? 4.15
Good butcher grades. 2.65(a) 3.20
Canners and cutters. 175(4> 2.60
Veal calves. 3.50(a) 5.75
Bulls, stags, etc. 2 00(a) 3.00
O. stockers & feeders ..3.85 (a) 4.65
Fair to good. 3 25(a) 3.75
Slock heifers. 2.50(a) 3 00
This point was very nearly out of
tite hog business both at tiie olose of
last week and the beginning of this
week, as there was only ten cars
arrived Mouday. The market was 10
io 15 higher and prospects seem to
be for a further upturn. Bulk #5.50
to 5 70.
Sheep receipts show a falling off
and it is reported that there is not
any in sight for the balance of the
week. Killers are any where from
20 to 40 higher with feeder^ full
steady to strong.
■" Educational Notes. ' ’
By the County Superintendent.
The Holt County Teachers’ meeting
Iasi Saturday was well attended con
sidering the inclemency of the
weather. The class recitations and
exercises conducted by Miss Grady
and Miss Daly illustrated excellent
primary methods and ideas for the
observation of those present.
The main subject for the afternoon
discussion was that of mental arith
metic. The association agreed that
a text book on this subject should be
used in the seventh, eighth, and
ninth grades and that more mental
work should be done in all the other
grades. Superintendent McBrien
talked in behalf of Edward Brook’s
New Mental Arithmetic published
by Christopher Sower Company, Phil
adelphia, Pa
This is the book recommended for
use in normal training schools and we
take this occasion to recommend it to
all schools in Holt county. All agreed
that the subject had become a lost
art which should be revived and that
the only way to get it back into the
daily program is to put it back.
Teachers present at the meeting
resolved to follow out this suggestion
immediately upon returning to their
schools and judging from the rapid
disippearanoe of the copies of this
text whioh we had on exhibition they
meant what they said.
The paper by Miss zack, "Sug
gestions to the Story Teller,” was
well received. Superintendent Me
Brlen paid a well earned tribute to
Miss Zack by asking for a copy of the
paper to print in this month’s issue
“The Nebraska Teacher”
Instead of commenting on this
paper we have arranged to send each
teacher a copy of it because of the
valuable suggestions it contains.
The evening address was listened
to by an appreciative audience if not
a large one. In his closing remarks,
Mr. McBrlen said that among other
appropriations for educational pur
poses the uext legislature would be
asked to double the “State Aid for
Weak Dist ricts ”
Mr. Robinson, of Ewing, had on
exhibition in the court room some
very creditable work done by the
Ewing schools, consisting of a col
lection of one hundred varieties of
seeds, geographical and historical
maps, drawings, compositions and
primary work. The lower grades of
the O’Neill schools also had work
handily displayed for the observation
of visitors.
In behalf of the executive com
mittee we wish to thank all who
assisted, in any way, in making the
meeting a success.

tbe ceremony last Monday afternoon
tbat united Julius Eppenbaugh of

Oakes & Gilson will bring the great
Hoyt Theatre comedy here on Nov., 2.
lay has been seen in all tbe
cities and by the same oast
which appears here. It is a high
class comedy full of life and action
and sparkling with lines of wit. It
is one of the most brilliant from
the playrights pen and should receive
the patronage of the best class of
theatre goers of our city.
The people of O’Neill will regret to
learn that Rev. Father Moore is as
signed to Bancroft, Neb., which fact
will necessitate his removal to that
city. Father Moure his beta three
years among us, aud his departure
will be regretted by all who have had
the pleas' re of his aoquanttaee. We
trust his , uture home will be a happy
One and his field of labor enlarged
that his ability and learning may
have ample scope to do the work his
mission in life is intended to do.
For this he was ordained and to this
end comes the proper reward for faith
ful service well performed. He will
be succeeded here by Rev. Father
O’Sullivan who arrived here this week
from Ireland.
J udge Malone has been the busiest
man in the county the past month.
During the month be has united
seven couples in the holy bonds of
matrimony, which is four couple
more than any like period since he
has been in office. The Judge is
undecided whether to attribute this
rush to the Tripp county opening or
not, but if that is the cause he says
he is liable to be swamped with
business next March as their are
several O’Neill people who have won
a home in the Indian reservation and
will probably need some one to look
after tee house and darn their socks,
and of course they will take them
from old Holt.
Ex-Governor Lorenzo Crounse ad
dressed a large and appreciative aud
ience at the K. C. hall last night upon
the political issues of the day from a
republican standpoint. The meeting
was presided over by Col. Neil Bren
nan, who is an old-time friend of
Governor Orounse’s and was a mem
ber of his staff, when he was govern
or of Nebraska. In lntreaduclng the
speaker Col. Brennan refered to the
many official positions filled by
the speaker of the evening during his
life time and that he retired from
every position with honor to him
self his party and his state. The Gov
ernor has always had a great many
admirers in O’Neill and he said there
was no plaoe in the state ao which be
would rather come lhan this city,
where he had so many warm and hos
pitable friends. He then took up the
issues of the campaign and for an
hour and a half he presented good
logical and forcible argument for the
election of the republican ticket. He
spoke at some length upon tbe bank
guarantee proposition and proved con
olusively that even if be was elected
president it would be impossible for
Mr. Bryan to give a measure of that
kind to tbe people. He closed with
a special plea for a republican congress
to support the hand of Mr. Taft who
would be in the White House after
March 4th next.
