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

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.
The Mayor was about to start upon
a two weeks vacation trip to Europe.
The shot was tired by James J. Galla
gher, a discharged city employee. The
attending physicians says the wound
will not be serious, unles blood posion
sets in.
Gotleib v oight, an aged gentlemen
who lias be^n a city charge the past
tiifteen years, died last Saturday af
ternoon. He was a resident of tills
city for about twenty years, the first
five or six years of his residence here
he worked in meat markets, and was
considered by butchers a good work
man. 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.

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.
