S. Butler made him remove his shoes

leges extreme cruelty and cites several

leges that he owns personal property,
which aggregates about $10,000, and
that he is in debt about $10,000.
Plaintiff asks divorce and custody of
the two minor children, and as she is
without means asks further that she
be awarded suit money, counsel fees
and such further relief as may be
just.

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.

young people are especially invited
to this service, and to take some part
in the same.
Except when “blizzard” conditions
prevail, the Ladies Aid Society meets
in the class room of our church, every
Tuesday afternoon at 2 o’clock. All
ladies of the church and congregation
are invited to unite with this band
of workers, and all ladies are invited
to attend the meetings.
Storm and mud have somewhat
interrupted our Thursday evening
prayer meeting of late, but we trust
the people will remember that we
purpose holding such service whenever
it is possible. The hour of service is
7:30 and everybody is invited to wor
ship with us. T. S. Watson, Pastor.
