Railroad men about the Burlington
yards complain of much trouble with
boys climbing on moving cars. Only
for the danger in it they would not
care how much the boys ride, but they
express fears that some boy will yet
be killed unless a stop can be put to
the practice. They say they remon
strate with the boys and warn them
of the danger but still every time a
train pulls in a dozen or more boys
congregate around and catch onto
the cars as the switching is being
done or a train being made up.
There is always danger for old or
young climbing onto a moving train
but it usually takes a severe and
tragic lesson to teacli them of it.

J. A. Cowperthwaite and Sam Wolf
have undertaken to introduce the
popular English game bird, the pheas
ant, in the country, and have four of
the birds, three hens and a cockrel.for
a start. The birds were shipped in
last week from York and are now at
Mr. Wolf’s place where they will be
kept in a yard for a time and then
given the liberty of the groves and
fields and it is hoped that no one will
try their marksmanship on them for
a few seasons until they multiply in
numbers sufficient to furnish shooting.
Hence people living down the river
in that community want it under
stood that pheasant shooting will not
be allowed for a season or two yet, as
they are protected by a stringent
game law. It is said that the pheas
ant multiplies rapialy and flourishes
well in this climate.
YOU might be interested to know—we’d like to have you
know—why we make a special feature of
Hart Schaffner & Marx Clothes
It’s because we want to do the best we can for our own busi
ness; we’re selfish about it, you see. We know that we’ll do
the best we can fpr ourselves by doing the best we can for
you.
The best we can do for you is to buy what will give you the
biggest possible value for your clothes money. When it comes
0
to that we have the whole market before us; we can buy and
sell any clothes we want to; manufacturers welcome our
orders. We know what’s in the market. We want Hart
Schaffner & Marx clothes because they’re the best clothes
made: best for you to wear; best for us to sell.
They have style that’s destinctive, different: they’re made
always of all-wool fabrics, they’re perfectly tailored, they fit
accurately. We feel that we’re doing a man a favor to sell
him such clothes: we’re making a profit for him as well as
well as for ourselves. We stand back of them, confidently
knowing they’ll satisfy: and ready, if they dontf to make
good.
That's why we sell Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes: that's
why you'll buy them. That's why we call our store the home
of Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes.

The total rainfall of this country,
including snow and that on water
areas, was given as 215,000,000,000,000
cubic feet per year. Half or more is
evaporated. About one-third Hows
into the sea. The remaining one-sixth
is either consumed or absorbed. Of
the 70,000,000,000,000 cubic feet flow
ing annually into the sea, less than 5
per cent is used for power. It is esti

volume is wasted in freshets or des
tructive floods. There are in the

Illness Proves Fatal.
Arthur Menish died at the Presby
terian hospital in Omaha last Friday
afternoon, the remains being brought
home Saturday for interment. The
passing away of Arthur is another
testimony to the uncertainty of life.
Naturally strong and vigorous and in
the prime of manhood his taking off
was the least expected previous to
his illness. About three weeks pre
vious to his death he was taken down
with a severe cold in the head which
developed into a serious case and he
was taken to the hospital ten days
previous to his death. It was found
necessary to perform two or three
operations and it was thought for a
time that he would recover, but men
ingitis developed and was the direct
cause of his death Three hospital
specialists worked on the case and re
sorted to every expedient known to
medical science, but without avail.
Miss Jennie Kane of this city, who
has about completed a course as nurse
at the hospital,attended him through
out and both doctors and nurse say
that Arthur suffered tire most excru
ciating pain which he bore with a
fortitude never before witnessed by
them, accustomed as they are to daily
scenes of suffering.
Arthur lived practically all his life
at or near O’Neill. He was thirty
four years of age, being born at Scran
ton, Pa., in 1874. He came with bis
parents to this county about thirty
years ago, and grew to manhood here.
He was the first lineman of the Holt
County Telephone company, which
place he held until a year ago.
He was married in 1905 to Miss Mar
garet Bissey, who, besides his mother,
four sisters and four brothers, sur
vives him. His mother, a brother and
a sister reside on theold family home
stead northwest of town, two sisters,
Mrs. 11. J. Marsh and Miss Francis
Menish, reside in town here, another
sister, Mrs. Mary Taylor at Seattle,
two brothers, John and Wm , at Ho
quiam, Wash., and Hubert Menisb,
a railroad engineer living in Min
nesota.
He was a member of the Knights of
Columbus lodge and of the Ancient
Order of United Workmen, in which
latter he had $2,000 insurance.
The funeral services were held at
St. Patrick’s church in this city at
12 o’clock Sunday, the remains being
followed from the family home to the
church by a very large procession.
The two lodges of which the de
ceased was a member showed marked
respect by turning out in a body.
Many flowers were contibuted and
borne in the procession, the Knights
of Columbus of Omaha furnishing a
beautiful floral emblem, the local
Knights a magnificent floral cross, the
O’Neill Workmen a wreath, Mrs. B.
O’Laughlin and Miss Anna Brennan
