The political field is still a wilder
ness in Holt county. The primary
comes about a month earlier this year
and with a full set of county officers
to elect, if there is any aspirants now
is a good time to make it known.
Boston proposes to outdo all others
in exposition wonders. It is planning
to celebrate on a large scale in 1920
the 300th anniversary of the landing
of the Pilgrims. The Bostonians have
struck upon a happy occasion as it will
create great interest all over the
country.
Lincoln voted out saloons at Tues
day’s election by a decisive majority.
The state capital started in on the
warfare against granting saloon
iicense by experimenting with the
"daylight” saloon. It has proved the
stepping stone to no saloons at all.
Lincoln will be about the only dry

Texas people have called the bluff of
Prof. William Henry Pickering of
Harvard university. The professor
came out with a statement some time
ago that he would undertake the task
of communicating with the planet
Mars if $10,000,000 could be raised for
that purpose. Texas now comes for
ward and offers to supply the funds if
Prof. Pickering will establish himself
on the western plains of that state to
carry on the experiments.
Col. W. H. Ketcham of the Craw
ford Tribune has retired from the
chair of that newspaper after twenty
years service and will move to Wash
ington D. C., where he expects to
make his future home. Col. Ketch
am was formerly engaged in the news
paper business in this county, pub
lishing a paper at Stuart some
twenty-five years ago, and is known
to many of the older citizens of the
county, who will wish him prosperity
in his new home.
The department of agriculture has
authorized one or two experiment
stations in northern Nebraska for
the purpose of finding a rem
edy for the elimlnatioh of an
affection that threatens the principal
crop grown in that section, the po
tatoe. Northwest Nebraska potatoes
are the ravorites on the markets and
make an important industry of the
state. A “disease” has appeared in
the potatoe region which the depart
ment of agriculture will lend its aid
to suppress.
Two federal judges of Missouri have
been placed under suspicion by charg
es made by Congressman Murphy of
that state which in effect Imply that
the judges have been in collusion with
the railroads, as well as other more or
less serious charges. The charges are
of such a nature that congressional
investigation is likely to follow, in
which event, if the congressman’s al
legations are founded on fact, some
interesting disclosures will probably
come to light.
Since Abdul Hamid has been de
posed from the throne of Turkey
stories are coming out that classify
him as the meanest man in the
world. Some of his former subjects
in this and other countries recount
incidents of their personal knowledge
that show the former monarch butch
ered countless innocent victims for
pastime. The Turks bore with his
absolute despotism for thirty-three
years, which shows that men will
suffer long and touch but When fi
nally aroused they will do desperate
things.
Senator Curtis of Kansas has re
ceived assurances from republican
members of the finance committee
that in the administrative sections of
the tariff bill will be incorporated the
provisions asked for by the western
exportors of meats and grain products
intended to save these industries from
the effects of discriminatory action
on the part of certain European gov
ernments, notably Germany and
France. Mr. Curtis was informed that
the committee has practically agreed
upon the sections intended to prevent
these discriminations.

Teddy is proving a wonder and
ama/.ement to the Africans who
think he’s the greatest proposition
behind a gun that ever startled the
inhabitants of a jungle. Everybody
at home knew that there would be a
few less man eaters on the dark con
tinent when the ex-president began
to oil his ramrod, but they didn’t
look for the extinction of the specie
on the first expedition. Since the
news came that when Teddy fired
three shots three lion lay dead it
looks like the British government
may have to cancel his license if they
wish to preserve any of the monsters
of the jungle.
Representative W. J. Taylor of
Custer county, one of the progressive
democrats in the late legislature, lias
this to say of the failure of that body
to perform the functions foi which
it was pledged and paid: “Every
body knows that the democratic leg
islature was completely helpless in
the grip of the corporations, insur
ance companies and breweries, and
fell far short of redeeming its pledges.
Good, honest democrats, many of
them in the house, admitted by
explanations to be printed in the
house journal that our party could
not redeem its pledges because of
the influence of the corporations ”
Mr. Bryan has received another
severe jolt. The democratic senators
have united in opposition to that
plank of the Denver platform which
declares for free lumber. In fact the
minority of the senate is as strongly
opposed to putting lumber on the free
list as the most radical protectionist.
The attitude of the democratic memb
ers of congress on this and other ques
tions shows that they are not in sym
pathy with the promises made in the
Denver platform. It shows, too, that
Mr. Bryan Is out of harmony with the
leaders in the party and docs not
wield influence strong enough to se
cure the adoption of the measures he
advocates were he to be elected presi
dent.
Natron of Asylum Removed.
There is always something doing
whereever an O’Neill man—or woman
— hangs up his hat. We have
just got into the streaming limelight
again. This time it is one of the
city’s fair daughters that brings us
celebrity. Miss Bridget McGinnis
has, like Abdul Hamid, been deposed
as matron of the Lincoln asylum
Last Saturday s papers announced
that Miss McGinnis had been re
moved by Superintendent Woodward
but that she refused to quit. How
ever, the governor sustained the
action of the superintendent and an
Omaha women has been appointed as
matron.
Miss McGinnis was appointed to the
place upon the recommendation of A.
F. Mullen and it appears that con
siderable friction has existed among
the asylum employees since the
O’Neill lady took command of the
matron’s desk.
The Lincoln correspondent of the
Omaha Bee made these observations
in the Sunday edition of the Bee:
“It lias come at last. Governor
‘Muilsnberger’ lias declared his in
dependence and the Mullen will be
stricken from his name and the
‘Shallen’ will be restored. All of
which, however, depends upon what
happens when Sir Arthur returns to
Lincoln. Anyhow, Governor Shal
lenberger announced this morning
that Mrs. Hannah Kelley of Omaha
had been appointed by Superintend
ent Woodard of the Lincoln asylum to
take the place made vacant by the
discharge of Miss Beatrice McGinnis,
who secured her place upon the
recommendation of Overlord Mullen.
Miss McGinnis is distantly related to
Mr. Mullen.
“The action of the governor in up
holding the edict of the superintend
ent has all the appearance of the be
ginning of the end of the house of
Mullen so far as the overlord business

is concerned around the executive
office. And the overthrow of Mullen
would be in keeping with the official
acts of the executive. First there
came the throwdown of the demo
crats of Omaha who elected him by
the signing of the 8o’clock closing law;
now comes the icy mit for one of
Arthur Mullen’s relatives, when Mul
len himself will not deny that he fur
nished the brains and tbe inspiration
for most of the work of the late legis
lature and is the chief adviser of the
executive. But even before the house
of Mullen began to crumble, the gov
ernor permitted Chris Gruenther’s
recommendation regarding a legisla
tive act to go unheeded. And Gruen
ther is the one man who stood by
Shallenberger when Tom Allen and
Mullen had no idea he could be
elected and when both were breaking
their hacks for Bryan and permitting
the Shallenberger fight to go by de
fault.”

Two young men were observed com
ing out of the cellar at J. J. Thomas’
saloon Sunday afternoon, each carry
ing a pail. They had been noticed
around the rear of the saloon but
those who saw them supposed they
were getting water from the hydrant
outside the building. When they
were seen coming out of the cellar an
effort was made to ascertain who they
were but they ran down the alley
and disappeared. Mr. Brennan, who
had observed their operations through
the rear window of his shoe shop, at
tempted to catch them, and then
notified Mr. Thomas. An investiga
tion disclosed that twenty-two bottles
of beer had been taken from
the cellar. The robbers contrived to
open the cellar doors by running a
wire between them and lifting the
bar. They tapped two cases of beer,
taking thirteen small and nine large
bottles. _

A big prairie fire did considerable
damage out in the Antelope slough
country Tuesday. John Roach, living
in that country, was in town that day
and ascertained by telephone that his
hay was burning. Tbe fire started a
few miles west of the slough and
burned over an extensive tract.
Mrs. S. A. Page, who left this
county something over a year ago for
California but returned last winter
and has been teaching in the east
part of the county, was an O’Neill
visitor Tuesday. Mrs. Page says
while she liked California she was
glad to get back to Nebraska. Iler
trip west was for her little daughter’s
health and she having recovered
rather more rapidly than was
anticipated they were enabled to
return sooner than they expected.
