Mayor Biglin received the estimate yesterday. The' plant is estimated to run 14 arc lights and 650 incandescentsand would cost installed 87,500. It would seem to us that at this price O’Neill should have an electric light plant and sufficient capital should be secured in the city to put the plant in.

Mellor and wife arrived at the old home farm Saturday. George de veloped a regular Jim Jeffries muscle pumping water for the cows on the Orchard farm and realizing that a Jeffries muscle was of no use outside of California, he quit the job and moved back to the never failing Red bird valley. We are glad to see you back George for this is the best coun try. Stay with it. The last entertainment of the course given under the auspices of the Tuesday club will be a humorous lecture by George C. Rheinfrank, and will occur at the K. C. hall, Friday evening, April 1. Mr. Rheinfrank is frequently called a “Star Lecturer,” because his lectures scintillate like stars, and shed radiance in darkest nights. A newspaper recently called him a star among stars and that is surely shining some. James A. Donohoe and Charles Mc Kenna are now the two most popular young men in O'Neill with the ladies, who greet them with their sweetest smiles. Whether the fact that Jim and Charley just received a “dandy” 50 horse power Jackson touring car has anything to do with their in creased popularity we are unable to say, but some of tne more unfortunate boys say thats the reason. The car is a beauty and has been running over time the past week. The first of the week D. D. Har rington purchased the Horisky gro cery stock and will take possession next Monday. J. C.

An editor away for a while left his paper in charge of a minister, says an exchange. During the minister’s stay in the sanctum the following letter came from a subscriber. “I know very well I paid my subscription to your paper the last time I was in town. If I get any more such letters as I received from you last week 11 will come in and maul h—1 out of you.” The minister' answered: “I have been trying to get that out of the editor for the past ten years and if you will come down and maul It out of him, then, my dear sir, I have twenty members of my church I will get you to operate on. A Mississippi editor makes this appeal to delinquent subscribers: “Fish down into your pockets and dig up dust, the editor is hungry and the paper ‘bout to bust, we’ve trusted you for several months, and did it with a sitrHe, bo just return the compliment and trust us for a while. Our wife she needs some stockings and baby needs a dress; Jimmy needs some breeches, and so do Kate and Bess. Bud is on the hog train and Peggy is sick with grief, good gosh almighty, can’t you give a man relief. Shell out those nickles and turn loose the dimes, turn ’em loose and whistle and we’ll have better times-, there will be fewer patches on the bosom of our pants and we would make the paper better if we had half a chance. Don’t give us that old story, long gone to seed ’bout t aking more papers than the family want to read; but help to feed the printer, and he’ll help the town to grow, and thus escape the sulphur in the regions down below.” Valentine Democrat: The O’Neill Valentine debate was pulled off last Saturday night at the opera house which was crowded. The hall was beautifully decorated and the stage brilliantly lighted. Class yells inter spersed and preceded the debate. Several songs, music and declama tions also helped to enliven the occa sion. Valentine was given the de cision by the judges by only a few points. Both sides did exceptionally well and it was not easy to predict which would get the decision. The judges were T. V. Golden of O’Neill, Dr. R. P. Hoxsey of Valentine and Prof. C. A. Ruby Of Woodlake. Sev eral O’Neill people came up with the debaters and have no reason to feel otherwise than proud of their debat ing team. The utmost good feeling prevailed and the O’Neill students were given a reception Saturday after noon by Miss Van Driel and the Val entine high school. We would es pecially recommend Mr. McNichols of the O’Neill team as a worthy debater in the state contest. The charming ladies of the M. U. M. club were entertained by Miss Sadie Skirving at her home Wednesday evening at cards, Miss Anna O Don nell receiving the prize for the highest score in 500. A delightful four course lunch was served, after which many vocal selections were sweetly rendered by Mrs Flynn and Miss Rose Fallon. This club is noted for their clever en tertainments and rounds of pleasure. Miss Dolly Dimples of Hackensack, U. S. being the guest of honor. It is ex pected that a number of social affairs will be given in honor of Miss Dolly during her stay in the Emerald tinted city. The members of the club are “mum" in regard to the identity of the mysterious Miss Dolly, but the citizens of our city will have an oppor tunity to solve the mystery as the lady in question will be in front of the Fidelity bank between the hours of 2 and 3 p. m. Friday. It is not known whether she will be in her automobile, airship or otherwise. Now is the time to make the winning, “philos sophos,” take notice. W. H. Robinson of Long Pine has brought suit in the district of Holt county against the Chicago and North western railroad corrftany for $2,000.' Plaintiff alleges that be was working as fireman for said company on a yard engine at Long Pine, in September, 1907. That the right hand back hole plate on said engine was open, loose, unsafe, insufficient and defective. That said defective engine allowed the steam to escape constantly around and upon him causing him to sweat enormously. That on account of such escaping steam he was frequently compelled to step off said engine in order to get air, and getting out into the cold air from the heated cab caused him to take a severe cold which caused other diseases. That the injuries he sustained by reason of said escaping steam are: oatarrb, bronchitis, nervousness, impaired health, a weak heart, poor circulation of the blood, kidney disease and mus cular rheumatism, and by reason of such diseases and injuries he is unable to perform any work or labor of any kind whatever, and asks judgment for $2,000 and costs of suit. A romantic elopement was irusirai ed by the cruel hand of the law Wed nesday. Sheriff Grady received a tele gram from the sheriff of Dodge county Wednesday morning to arrest and hold Miss Florence Le Grande of Fre mont, aged 16 years, who had left Fremont Tuesday, and Deputy Sheriff Brittell took the young lady into custody Wednesday noon. The young man in the case, Robert Winn, left Fremont for O’Neill with a car of stock and did not reach the city until yesterday. WJien he heard there was trouble brewing he left his sweet heart and disappeared. Mr. and Mrs. Le Grand arrived yesterday afternoon and took the would-be bride home with them this morning. While the parents claim their daughter is only sixteen years of age she looks nearer twenty-three, but she refused to say whether she was over or under six teen. She at first refused to have anything to do with her parents and positively stated she would not return with them,v but they evidently con vinced her of her folly for she readily accompanied them this morning. The main objection of the parents to the marriage was the daughter’s youth. Mr. Le Grand is an employee of the Northwestern railway at Fre mont. Land Bargains. 82,250 buys 160, 3 miles southwest of O’Neilll. 8750 cash balance long time. Also NWi 25-27-12 for 81,250. $050 cash, balance 3 years, 6 per cent. O.

The bad slump started in the cattle market the latter part of last week continued at the opening of this week. We think the decline can be safely quoted at 30 to 75 cents and in the case of common cows and some of the poorer quality of butcher stock some salesman declare it is as much as $1.50 lower. The average decline on stockers and feeders of both steers and heifers is fully 50 cents per hundred. We do not expect to see common cattle go as high again this spring as they were, but believe the near future will bring a reaction for the better for good killlers. We quote: Fair to oboice beeves.7.00(a) 8.10 Others down to. 6.00 Cornfed cows and heifers up to 6.25 Fair to good . 4.75@ 6.50 Canners and cutters. 2 50(a! 4.50 Veal calves.5.50@ 8.60 Bulls, stags,etc. 3.75@ 6.25 Good to choice feeders.5.50@ 6.60 Others down to. 4.00 Stock heifers. 3 75@ 4.50 The hog market refuses to break and week by week we must record new high prices. Bulk 810.60 to 810.75, top $10.86 The lamb market seems to become a little top heavy but good grades of sheep are holding steady at the leve of the high prices._ J. P. Mann & Co.
