The poor editor was dying: but when the doctor placed his ear to the pa tient’s heart and muttered sadly, “Poor fellow, circulation almost gone” the editor raised himself and gasped: “Tis false, we have the largest circu lation of any paper in the county!” then sank back upon his pillow, with a triumphant smile upon his face. He was consistent to the end—lying about his circulation. “Lives of poor men oft remind us honest toil don’t stand a chance; the more we work we leave behind us big ger patches on our pants. On our pants once new and glossy now are patches of ditlerent hue; all because subscribers linger and won’t pay up what is due.

Mayor Gaynor of New York was shot in the neck and seriously wound ed last Tuesday morning, while sur rounded by friends upon the prome nade deck of a trans Atlantic liner.

He has suffered from kidney trouble for several years, this ailment finally resulting in his death. He was about 05 years of age. Stand by your town. Not a dollar invested there but some good comes of it. There is no family like one’s own family; there is no wife like one's own wife; there should be no town like one’s own town, where we live, educate our children, on whose street our babies play, and where we may some day sleep. Let the newspapers stand by the town, and let the busi ness men stand by the newspapers, and let us make our home as famous as possible. We are always glad to get local Items, just such as you, reader, would like yourself, and if you have any on hand at any time send them along. Don’t sandwich an advertisement Into them, for they belong to the cashier’s department, and if they are not worth paying for in a legitimate way they are no good to us. If you have any friends visiting you, or you expect to go away, just say so The latter clause may gratify your creditors, and the first your friends. Long credit is the bane of any coun try and should be put a stop to. Busi ness men have the power but do not exercise it? Many a man has been in duced to purchase articles when he could do very well without, on prom ise of long payment. He probably saw no sure way of paying it when the time came “unless ssomething turned up. ” The something did not come to hand and consequently he went to the wall. Long credit has been the ruin of many a man and is bound to ruin many more if it is persisted in. Eschew all conglomerations of bab lement and assinine affections. Let your extemporaneous decantings and unpremeditated expatiations have in telligibility and veracious vivacity, without rhodomontade or bombast. Sedulously avoid polysylabic profund ity, pompous prolixity, {ventriloquial verbosity and grandiloquent vapidity. Shun double-entendres, purient jocos ity and pestiferous profanity, obscur ant or apparant. Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Flicks left yes terday morning for Flrantford, On tario, Canada, where they will make their future home. Mr. Flicks still lias considerable property interests in this county and will make annual vis its here to look after his affairs. The O’Neill friends of this estimable couple regret to see them leave this city, but wish them happiness and prosperity in their Canadian home. Tlie enterprising farmer stops not for weather’s chilling blast, but sows his oats and gets his corn ready, and when the genial sun breaks forth and the warm south winds blow his grain is ready to shoot forth and grow, and at harvest time is fully matured and he is counted one of the lucky ones whom Dame Nature always favors with fine crops while his unfortunate neighbor, who rests on his oars crying time enough yet wonders why it is his crops must always be a failure, pros perity withheld and life but a burden to bear. You can get a very good idea of the personal habits and tastes of the occu pants of property by the appearance of things about the premises. If the yard is full of rubbish, the bushes un trimmed, a dearth of flowers, and other evidences of carelessness, the chances are that the occupant is un tidy and loose in habits. On the other hand, if everything is clean, neat and tidy, tlowers blooming, and and home like air of contentment prevades the premises the chances are that the oc cupant is neat and progressive. Let all keep these hints in mind and clean up and beautify their property. Mr. and and Mrs. EL L. Madison re turned from Deadwood, S. D., where they have resided the past six months and will again make their home in prosperous Holt. Mr. Madison says it has been very dry in Western South Dakota this season and that hun dreds of homesteaders are pulling out and leaving their claims. Pastures in that section are all burned up and he predicts that there will be much suffering in that country this winter on account of a lack of food for man and beast, as the majority of the peo ple that settled in that section are poor and with a total crop failure will be unable to purchase the necessary food supplies. Missouri is a funny place. Last week a lad from the backwoods came fur ther north and seeing a young lady playing a piano, ran to his brother, saying, 1 Oh, lfill, come and see this girl. She is knocking regular thunder out of a bureau.” Two state senators were boasting of their qualifications one day at Jefferson City. One said, “I am a minister;” the other said, "1 am a lawyer, and I’ll bet $10 you don’t know the Lord’s prayer.” The money went up, and the Missouri clergyman began, “Now I lay me down to sleep, etc." “It is your meney,” said the lawyer. “I did not believe you knew it. 1 have not heard it all before in twenty years.” A minister who stands high in one of the leading denominations, and in ail denominations, was heard to say recently that he did not wish to be introduced to any lady who chews gum, that he thought it would be compromising his diginlty, and that readly, after all, she was not worth knowing, because her senseless, harm ful habit betrayed her lack of good judgment and culture, that are two of woman’s crowning jewels. If women knew how much, on account of this habit, they fall, on first ac quaintance, in the estimation of those whose good opinion they should ever seek to command, they would assume a virtue, at least, even tnough they did not possess it. No town, country or community will ever prosper where there is a di vision of strife of any nature. In help ing others you invariable help your self. “Opposition is the life of trade.” and merit wins. No town will pros per and grow where a lack of enter prise and push on the part of its citi zens is felt. The true motto of each and every citizen of a town is and and should be to assist and help your neighbors, encourages business of all kinds—there’s no danger in gorging the market in this line—unite in the matter of improvement in making the town attractive and giving it a home like appearence. When this is done people from a distance will form a good opinion of the place and it will be an inducement for them to locate with us and become permanent and substantial citizens. There can be no greater mistake that a business man can make than to be mean in business. Everybody has heard the proverb of penny wise and pound foolish. A liberal expenditure in the way of business is always sure to be a capital investment. There are people in the world who are short sighted enough to believe that their interest can be best promoted by grasping and clinging to all they can get, and never letting a cent slip through their lingers. As a general thing, it will be found, other things being equal, that he who is most lib eral is most successful in business. Of course we do not mean It to be infer red that a man should be prodigal in his expenditures: but that he should show his customers, if he is a trader, or those whom he may be doing any kind of business with, that in all his business transactions, as well as social relations, he acknowledges the ever lasting fact that there can be no per manent prosperity or good feeling in a community where benefits are not reciprocal.

Satisfactory board and comfortable rooms cannot be obtained cheaper elsewhere. Normal, Scientilic, Class ical, and Business Courses. Special advantages in Music. Write the Principal, C. A. Jaquith, Neligh, Nebraska. Buy Town Lots Now. A few years ago I begged of you to invest in farm and hay lands. You then said that the price|was too high, that land would go no higher than $10 an acre, the price asked. You made a mistake, didn’t you? |You will make another mistake if you fail to buy town lots in O’Neill at the price I of fer them. The extensive improve ments now going on in O’Neill is only a starter. It will continue to grow and property will accordingly advance. I have many business lots on the main streets and residence lots in all parts of the town. I can’t use all of this property. I bought cheap as a matter af speculation and will sell correspondingly cheap. 1 have more than 100 lots in the city besides acre age adjoining the city. Unless you in quire of me you will not know how cheap you can buy and your regrets after the lots are sold will be value less. 8-3. T. V. Golden. SPEED ONJjLEANS THEM Sets the Pace For the Field in Wednesday's Races AND WINS IN STRAIGHT HEATS The Sunning Race Was one of the “Thrillers” of the Day, the Favorite Being Defeated. Those who attended the race meet Wednesday were treated to some of the best racing seen in this part of the state for years. While better time has been made, even upon the O’Neill traolc, than that Wednes day, the races were all so close that it was thoroughly enjoyable, and those that were not present missed some enjoyable sport. In the 2:14 pace, Speed On, Dave Stannard’s speedy little pacer, had it upon the rest of the string and won in straight heats. Harriska tried for two heats to head Speed On, the but little sorrel was out for the money and refused to be headed, although Ilar rlska forced him to step a little for the first three quarters. In the third heat Brunswick B. took after Speed On and strived vainly to take the beat and put up a nice race for the first half but could not stand the going and dropped back to third, Harriska tak ing second. Speed On seemed to be in fine trim for racing and many in the crowd believed that he could easi ly have lowered the track record a sec ond or two Wednesday, If crowded. The 2:20 pace was also a "dandy”. Bonnie B, owned by W. Y. Austin of Greeley, Neb..was the class in this race and won first money in straight heats and done it easily. The great wrap in this race was for second money and it was a battle royal, Min nie Onedia finally winning, although Maymewood came in second In the last heat and Prince L was second in the first heat. Third and fourth monies were divided between Mayme wood and Prince L. One of the swellest races of the af ternoon was the running race and it was witnessed by only a handful of the ‘royal blue” sports, as most of the people were scared by the threaten* sd rain storm and left before the first neat was run. The race proved to be i “pippen” and the “dopesters” were ill backing Marshall Dunn to win and playing him as favorite against the fold, but here was where the talent was again up against “too much John* ion’, for after taking the first beat le lost the next two to Hattie Mc Cann, but It was some race, especially the last heat, when an ordinary bed iheet would have covered both horses ill the way around—and it would not have to have been eleven feet long jither-Hattle finally coming under the wire half a length to the good. Many thought that Regene would have some show in this race but they were unable to get her started until the others had a lead of a hundred yards or so, but she ma de a good showing in the second heat despite the hadicap at the start. summary: 3:14 pace, purse *30(1: speed On, a, h.
