CANDIDATES ARE NOT
FI JJOMEEOOS
Old Officers File for Reelection to
City Offices.
ELECT A BOARD OF EDUCATION
Under Last Census O’Neill Has More
Than Sufficient Population to Vote
On School Officers.
But little interest is manifest in the
spring eleotlon which will be held on
April 4. So far there is no contest for
any office except in the Third ward,
where there are two candidates tor
alderman, C E. Hall, now one of the
councilmen frQm that ward, and C.
C. Milliard being the candidates in
the Third. Mayor Biglin is a candid
ate for re-election, as is also Treasurer
J. F. Gallagher and Clerk Herb Ham
mond.
In the First ward D. H. Cionin is
a candidate for re-election to the
council and M. H. McCarthy in the
Second. There is talk among the
voters of getting out other candidates
but petitions for only those named
above have been filed with the city
clerk.
A feature of the election that cre
ates some interest is that a board of
education will be elected at the same
time as the city officers, or rather the
vacancies which would occur Julyl
under the old system of electing
school boards will be fill at the city
election. The law provides that
members of the board of education
shall be elected at this time in towns
having 1,500 inhabitants or more, and
as O’Neill has more than 2,000 by the
last census its school officers will now
be elected at the same time as the
city officers. As all women free hold
ers or mothers of children of school age
have a vote in school elections, separ
ate ballots containing the names of
candidates for the board of education
will be furnished and woman entitl
ed to vote can go to the polls and vote
this year the same as the men, only*
of course they will not vote on city
officers. This applies also to residents
of the schodl district not living in
town. The O’Neill district comprises
more than the incorporated city.
There is but one ticket for the
board of education which has been
filed so far and that is made up of the
present members of the board, as fol
lows: S F. McNIcbols, M. H. Mc
Carthy, T. D. Hanley,Dr. P. J. Flynn,
Neil Brennan and Dr, J. P. Gilligan.
Of course as many may file for a place
on the board of education as desire to
go to the trouble of getting up a peti
tion and filing It with the city clerk
ten days before election.
This is a new method to O’Neill
people in selecting a board of educa
tion but it is believed the experiment
will prove satisfactory if all will take
an interest.
Under the new arrangement the
city treasurer acts also as school
treasurer, hence in electing a city
tieasurer the voters are also electing
the shool treasurer.

Monday night under the name of
George Fischer and gave Chambers as
his address, which the landlord says
was false. He engaged a room and
went to the same ostensibly to go to
bed. He was dressed in two full suits
one of which he removed after going
to bis room. About midnight he came
down stairs and said to the landlord
who was still In the office that be
would have to step out a few minutes.
He went out and did not return. The
suit of clothes was found in the room
be had occupied and also a suit ol
underwear, it is thought the man
had reasons to get away and probably
believed he was being pursued, al
though there has been no inquiry from
ajacent towns after a suspicious look
ing individual.
Nelson Whitsell has stated suit a
gainst the Chicago and Northwestern
railroad for $3,000 damages and
interest on that amount from January
22, 1910 at 7 per cent and cost:
of the suit. The damage:
is alleged to have been sustain
ed on the shipment of five cars of cattle
from South Omaha to Atkinson and
the claim is based on the statemenl
that the railroad company kept the
cattle in transit for fifty-eight hours
whereas the legal limit of time foi
transporting stock that distance, 21<
miles, is eleven hours and forty min
utes. The plaintiff claims the cattl:
shrunk away sufficient to cause him e
loss of forty cents per hundred by reas
on of keeping them on the road. Th<
plaintiff is not now a resident of Ne
baaska and his petition is sworn to by
hiB attorney.

The Live Stock Market ||
South Omaha, Nebr., March 21,1
—Special weekly market letter from!
Nye, Schneider Fowler Co.
The prospects for a good cattle mar-1
ket at the close of last week wete shat-!
tered Monday of this week by a sharp!
break and the excuse made by buyers
was the very bad condition of the mar
kets East. We do not believe this
weakness will hold through the week
as we think it will have a tendency to
shut off receipts. The desirable grade
of stockers and feeders, as usual, hold
about steady while the common ones
are lower.
We quote:
Fair to choice beeves. 6.75@ 6.25
Others down to. 5 00
Cornfed cows and heifers up to 5.00

The hog market broke 36c a hundred
m three or four days following the
15th. We believe this slump together
with the beginning of farm work will
shut off receipts^and will bring a re
action. Bulk 86.40 to 86.50 top 86 60.

This photograph was taken several
months ago when the number of boys
were not so large as now. The “Giant
Killers” have an enviable reputation
to sustain if they live up to the report
in the above paper.
Fora period of three months we
have been studying the National prob
lems of “The Divided Kingdom” One
cannot puruse such a study of
istory without being impressed with
God’s solution for certain kinds of
national peril. Next Sabbath we re
view all lessons since January 1st. One
is reminded that many of the nation
al perils of that time are not extinct
today.
Those who attend and are Interest
ed in our Bible study club will kindly
remember that the regular meeting
each Thursday evening will be held at
the Church ;all who cannot come regu
larly are urged to come and visit the
club just once. The English bible is
taught as the narrative stands. Our
primary view is to familiarize ourselv

are urged to attend each of the above
services. Come, bring your friends.
