An item in the Norfolk News dated Fremont, April 7, says: E L. White comb has shipped his grading outfit to Sioux City in preparation to com mence work on the Burlington’s O’Neill line. This stretch of track is the most bothersome piece of rail road in winter that the company owns, and it is proposed to put it in first class condition before next winter in order that the disorders of the past winter may not be repeated. The grading will require several months. The management of the State Fair, recognizing the value of new attrac tions for the week, Sept. 5 to 9, are figuring on securing an aeroplane. There are several companies who aie endeavoring to close contracts, but owing to the fact that the patentee of some parts of the aeroplane has se cured a temporary injunction against their use by some of the most suc cessful aviators, which, if sustained by the court will practically result in a monopoly for the Wrights, there by placing the expense of such an ex hibit so high as to prevent its general use this year. Edgar Howard in the Columbus Telegram: “I have straddled bucking bronchos, and I once took a parachute jump, but I never had a death for a playmate till I mounted an autc hump. First I tried to drive like a lady, careful and easy and slow, but along came a germ of speed-fever, and then I began to go like a race-horse out for money, like a school-boy fleeing tfye itch—the doctor says I’ll recover, but the au:o is still in the ditch. I always thought I was sporty, and fit ted for gamey life, but from this day the wheel of that auto I resign to my gamier wife.” Thomas Tierney and daughter, Miss Jennie, left for Chicago yester day morning where Mr. Tierney goes to consult a nerve specialist. Mr. Tierney will also meet a sister there, who is a resident of New York whom he has not seen for over thirty years. Mr. Tierney has been a sufferer from locomotor ataxia for over five years and is practically helpless.

The fiercest April storm ever wit nessed in this section visited us last Saturday and Sunday, succeeding the heavy rain of Thursday and Friday. It is believed the fruit crop is killed as nearly all the fruit trees were in bloom. There is considerable dif ference of opinion as to the damage done to small grain, some asserting that most of the oats which was up is killed, while others are of the opinion that there was hardly anj damage done to it. It will take sev eral days of good warm weather be fore the damage done will be apparent The storm was quite general in the middle western states and the dam age inflicted will run Into the mil lions. It Is figured that in Iowa alone the loss to farmers and fruit growars will amount to #10,000,000. None but the initiated know the accuracy required in a printing office. The average reader who detects a misspelled word or a letter upside down feels that his mission upon earth has not been accomplished un til he has called the attention of the overworked editor to the defect. He does not notice the thousands and ten thousands of letters that are In place, or the multitude of words that are correctly spelled, but his eagle eye is glued to the one that is out of place. So it is with our deeds. Man does a thousand good deeds and no attention Is paid to them but if he makes one mistake it is flashed al) over the world. A lifetime may te spent in building up a reputation that may be wrecked in a moment. The world is a harsh critic, exacting to the fault. Fred D. Fox has filed suit in the district court praying for divorce from Anna Luella Fox. Plaintiff alleges that they were married at Newport, in Rock county, October 16,1890, and that he resided there until Janurary 14,1910, when he moved to this county and engaged in the mercantile busi I1KSS Wiui me intention or making this his future home. He alleges that Mrs. Fox has been guilty of ex treme cruelty, that she is always nagging, scolding and fault finding and that on account of said cruelty de fendant was compelled to leave her last October, since which time, how ever, he has continued to provide for her and their four children. He al leges that he owns *2.500 worth of general merchandise and a house at Newport valued at #800. Plaintiff asks a divorce and such other relief as equity may require. One of O’Neill’s bachelor mer chants—no we|will not tell which one it was—says the following is a sure way to find out a woman’s age, with out her telling you: Ask her to take the number of the month in which she was born (January Is one, Febru ary Is two, etc ), and multiply that number by two. To this resultant number tell her to add five and mul tiply by 50. To this number she must add her present age, and from the sum subtract 365, the number of days in the year. Ask her to give you the last result. She has no t let you see any of the figures that have gone be fore. You take this last figure and add 115 to It. This gives you a number of three or four figures The first two figures to the right will be her age. The other figure or figures, to the lefu, will be the number of the month in which she was born. It always works. Seed Potatoes. I have some fine ‘seed potatoes for sale at 50c per bushel. I live ten miles east of O’Neill, ten miles south of Mineola. 43-4 R. II.

Full Band Coming Arrangements have been made by the Omaha and South Omaha busi ness men who are to visit us shortly, to bring a full brass band and give concerts in each town and city visit ed. The band is no ordinary pick-up, but a regular organization, and trav els with the party In a fourteen sec tion club car. There is plenty of music when the excursionists arrive in town and for a short time things sounds like a campaign rally or early morning on July Fourth. The Editor's Paradise. Frederick C. Beyer, a well known Cleveland editor, told at a recent press banquet a newspaper story, says the Louisville Times. “A Medina editor died,” he said, “and was, of course, directed to as cend to the abode of the just. But during the ascent the editor’s journ alistic curiosity asserted Itself and he said: “Is it permitted for one to have a look at—er—the other place?’ “Certainly,” was the gracious re ply, and accordingly a decent to the other place was made. Here the editor found much to interest him. He scurried about, and was soon lost to view. “His angelic escort got worried at last, and began a systematic search for his charge. He found him at last seated before a furnace, fanning him self and.gazlng at the people In the fire. On the door of tbe furnace was a plate, saying, “Delinquent sub scribers.” “ ’Come,” said the angel to the ed itor, we must be going.’ " ‘You go on,” the editor answered, without lifting his eyes. I’m not coming. This is heaven enough for me.” Several O’Neillites have been watch ing for the comet for the last three weeks, but so far they have all been disappointed. J. C. Horiskey has put in a meat market in connection with his grocery stock and is now prepared to satisfy all demands in the meat line.
