This office is in receipt of a letter
from Dan McClellan who left here
about three weeks ago for Oregon
He is located at Nyssa, Oregon, and
says he likes it fine and is enjoying
good health. Judging from his let
ter Dan is fascinated with that
country. It is a great fruit growing
section and he says the orchards
average about $500 an acre. He says
they have struck natural gas about
70 miles from Nyssa which they ex
pect to use to light the towns in
that section of the state. He expects
to invest in a fruit farm there and
remain. His many old Holt county
friends wish him prosperity in his
new home.

Comedy or Tragedy?
That O’Neill boys have to get up
early in the morning to beat the
maidens of this city was demonstrated
to six of the society boys of O’Neill
last week, by a like number of charm
ing young ladles. The opening chap
ter of this society drama was in this
city some two weeks ago when a ball
was given at the opera-house. A few
days prior to this event the society
boys before mentioned congregated at
their usual haunts to discuss the
event. During the progress of the
conference, the question of partners
for the event came up. One of the
party, who is noted for his unique
method of settling matters, suggested
that the names of the young ladies
be placed in a hat and the several
young men draw therefrom, each
agreeing to act as escort for the young
lady who was assigned to him by
fortune. The plan met immediate
approval and the drawing occurred as
agreed upon, but when the evening
of the ball arrived, but one of the
fortune seekers “made good,’’ the
others losing their nerve at the re
quisite moment and did not ask the
company of the ladies assigned to
them by chance, and the young ladies
were prevented from enjoying the
event of the season. When they
learned the method the boys had
taken for chosing partners and then
deserting them they became indignant
and resolved to be “revenged.” The
boys at once decided to square matters
and arranged a nice private dancing
party, which was to close with a ban
quet at one of the city’s popular
cafe’s and all arrangements were
made for the event which was to be
the “swellest ever.” On the evening
of the event the boys had gathered at
their meeting place and were about
to start for the homes of the young
ladies when a messenger entered and
presented each of them a note, from
the young ladies in question, in which
they very politely "regretted” that
they were unaole to accept their
company for the evening. The boys
realized they were “stung” and had
to put up for the hall without using
it and the banquet without tasting
the tempting viands prepared and
have ever since been wondering where
they are at.

The Live Stock Market
South Omaha, TSIeb., Apr. 16—Spec
ial market letter from Nye-Schneider
Fowler Co.
There is another moderate run of
cattle this week with prices about
steady with last week’s close. We
have had some very good cattle on
sale with a top of $6 45. They were
better than anything we have had
here recently. Butcher stock and
Stockers and feeders are bringing
pricys fully steady if not a little
stronger in spots, Chicago lias quite
a liberal run and a lower market.
We quote:
Choice corn fed beef.$6.00(a$0.45
Fair to good. 4.50(a) 5.90
Others from.3.50 to 3.67
Cornfed cows and heifers 5.60
Good butcher grades. 4.00(a 5.00
Canners and cutters. 2 25(a) 3.75
Veal calves. 3.50(a 6.75
Bulls, stags, etc. 3.00(a 5.00
Prime feeding steers.5.00(a5.50
Fair to good. 4.00(«) 4 90
Stock heifers. 3.00(« 4.25
The week starts witli a light run of
hogs dut a very slow and dull market.
Any material increase in receipts
would bring shOrp declines as packers
are very slow to take hold at these
prices. Bulk $0 75 to $7 00, top $7.15.
Values are steady to stronger in the
sheep division with a healthy tone to
the trade and fairly liberal receipts.
