He was not aware of having been frozen until L. S. Butler made him remove his shoes when it was found that his feet were frozen black. A three hours snow bath removed the frost and it is now believed he may escape with the loss of only a part of several toes. At first it was thought that both feet would have to be amputated. Great interest was taken in the sil ver medal contest held in Golden’s hall last Friday night, under the auspices of the W. C. T. U.

Mann & Co. | Announce their Readiness to Show > the New 1909 Spring Suits QX Raincoats FOR the first time in our history we have cleaned out all our winter clothing and started on spring clothing in February. Our increased sales in this department are responsible for this and the great I values we give are responsible for the increase. 5 Don’t buy your spring suit until you see our line. I We do not expect to sell all the clothing in town this i spring, but we would like to have a chance to show everyone who anticipates buying. It may be we i could save you some money. We have done it for others. j Last Monday Judge Malone issued a marriage license to Guy Alderson and Miss Sibyl Norvell, both of Cham bers. These young people belong to two of the oldest and most highly re spected families in southern Holt. Mr. Alderson is a son of J. M. Aider son, who for many years has been one of the leading farmers and stockmen in the flowing well belt of southern Holt, and is one of the substantial and progressive stockmen of that section. The bride is the youngest daughter of Dr. and Mrs. T. V. Nor vell who lias also resided in the south country for many years, and lived for four years in O’Neill while her father served the people of Holt county as superintendent of public instruction. The many friends of this happy young couple extend to them hearty con gratulations and best wishes for a long and happy life. The prospects are good that the O’Neill postoflice will be advanoed from a third to a second class office. The past year has been a record breaker for the O’Neill ollice. The Tripp county land opening is par tially responsible for the increase in business, although the normal busi ness of the office lias greatly increased along with the increased business of the community. The annual receipts of a postoflice must amount to $8,000 to go as a second class office. Post master Marsh says if the receipts of the O’Neill office keep up at the same ratio by March 31 this figure will be more than attained. Post masters are not permitted to “push” the sales in stamps, as other business men can get out and hustle, but of course they are always ready to sell anything in their line to those who want to buy, and especially so when there is a prospect of being advanced a notch in the official classification, with the advance of salary incident thereto. R. J. McGinnis of Cody, Wyo., came up from Omaha last Saturday afternoon, where he had been attend ing a convention of the hardware dealers association, to spend a few days visiting relatives and old friends in this city. Roger says there is con siderable excitement in Cody over the discovery of a maminouth cave on the government reservation near their town. The cave he says has been ex plored to a depth of over 8000 feet and its extent is not known. The first explorers who entered the cave, he says remained therein for three hours, while a week ago Col. Cody and a party made a tour of exploration and remained therein a little over ten hours. The grandeur of the forma tions in some of the passages are said to excel those of the Mammouth cave in Kentucky. The mountains around Cody have made considerable noise lately and what seemed like smoke eminates from the tops. Mr. McGin nis says there have been many differ ent theories advanced as to the cause thereof, many-believing that ages ago an active volcano had its habitat there and the recent eruptions on the other side of the globe has given it a new lease of life. For him self lie beleives it is caused by snow slides from the mountains falling into crevices and coming into contact with some lime-like substances a few hun dred feet below the surface, causing the combustion or steam to belch forth. The mountain from which the vapor is thrown up is one of the walls of the large irrigation reservoir the government is erecting there and R. J. says that when the water is turned therein next summer, he looks for something to go “up.” The Live Stock Market South Omaha, Neb., Feb. 24.—Spec ial market letter from Nye-Schneider Fowler Co. There has been a light run again this week owing to the bad weather and a more active and a little stronger market. The advance seems to be caused by the small receipts rather than any increase in the demand and conditions are said to continue ex ceedingly dull in the east, We fear the values would not hold up under much increased receipts. Further stormy weather is predicted for this week.
