Tuesdays election was a tame affair
in O’Neill. There was no issue and
but one set of candidates to vote for
and the voters cared little whether
they attended the polls or not. The
Third ward furnished the only in
centive for the voters to turn out,
there being two candidates for council
man in that ward. C. E. Hall was re
elected over C. 0. Millard by 18 votes.

Omaha Trade Exhibit: All towns
need good newspapers just as much as
they need good stores. But no news
paper can be at its be3t as a town
booster unless it is filled with good ad
vertising. And no store can do a max
imum business unless well advertised.
Thus, you see, the matter of advertis
ing is thoroughly reciprocal.
In county court Monday the com
plaint of Lora Arnold, an unmarried
woman, was heard wherein she charg
ed one Robert Benjamin of being the
father of a child born to her a year
ago. Benjamin was held to the dis
trict court for trial on $800 bonds,
which were fuinished. The parties
reside in the southwest part of this
county.

The martial troubles of Lee and
Jessie Conger were settled in district
court Monday when a divorce was
granted and 8300 alimony paid over to
the wife. The husband brought the
action for divorce, alleging cruel
treatment. Both parties signed a
written consent for Judge Harrington
to preside over the case, he being dls
qualified by statute because his broth
er was one of the attorneys.
County Attorney Whelan, Clerk of
the Court Harmon and Dr. P. J.
Flynn went to Atkinson in an auto
Friday afternoon last and convened
there as the board of insanity to ex
amine Mrs. Margaret Withers, whom
they adjudged Insane. The patient at
present is being cared for by her relat
ives as admittance can not be had at

The supervisors have from time to
time been applied to for a lease of the
southeast corner of the court house
grounds by individuals who wished to
build thereon. The county attorney
has secured an opinion from the state
legal department to the effect that
there is no authority in law for a
county board of supervisors to sell or
lease lands owned by the county. If
disposition of this kind of county prop
erty is desired it must be voted upon
by the voters of the county.
Judge Harrington and Reporter
Scott went to Ainsworth Monday to
hold an adjourned session of district
court. A motion for a change of venue
in the case of George Wilson, who was
on trial for the murder of Jacob Davis
December 27, 1909, was supposed to
be presented but further proceedings
in behalf of the accused man were sus
pended by Wilson pleading guilty and
making a full confession of the crime.
The judge sentenced him to 25 years
in the Nebraska penitentiary.
Besides being a great "runner” in
a political chase, County Surveyor
Norton is also some walker when it
comes to travel. Norton has “out
ran” everybody that ever came up for
county surveyor the last twenty years
and he now seems in a fair way to at
tain distinction as a pedestrian. Last
Wednesday, with the wind blowing a
tierce gale from the northwest, Mr.
Norton walked from his home near
Bliss postoffice to O’Neill, a distance
of twenty-five miles dead against the
wind, and says he did not stop for feed
or water. He left home between eight
and nine o’clock and was in O’Neill
by supper time.
Either the managers of the York
business college or some sharpers mis
representing them have been trying
to flimflam the public. It has come
to light recently that what were sup
posed to be agreements to send boys
and girls to the college were promis
ory notes. The York institution has
the signature of one O’Neill man on
one of these documents for something
over 8100 and have been trying to bluff
payment out of him. The O’Neill
man says it is a clear case of attempt
ed flimflam; that when the agent of
the school was here some three or four
mill iiibh..
years ago he represented that he was
having agreements signed by the par
ents of as many boys and girls who de
sired to attend the college the next
term so the college managers would
know how many pupils were coming.
He signed an agreement to send bis
son and now a lawyer down at York
olalms to have his note for 1114. He
says he will pay no attention to their
threats and if they attempt to force
collection will have them prosecuted
for fraud. The game has been work
ed extensively over this state and
Kansas, and if tbe college is really
responsible it is not a very good rec
ommendation for the place as an in
stitution of learning.
An exchange says this mixture
pretty nearly went through a
recent edition of the paper as the re
sult of a drunken printer having tbe
“copy” of a marriage writeup and a
sale bill before him at the same timr:
"Sam Jones, the banker, was dis
posed of at public sale to Miss Lena
Smith, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Obas Smith, on my farm two miles
east of town in tbe presence of 7S
guests including the following towit;
7 mules, 12 bead of oattle, Rev.
Johnson tied the nuptial knot. The
beautiful home was’tastefully decor
ated with a Black Hawk corn planter,
1 sulky hay rake, 1 feed grinder; 1 set
of double work harness new and just
before tbe wedding ceremony was
pronounced Mendelssohn’s inspiring
weddiDg march was sofely rendered
by 1 milch oow 5 years old, 1 Jersey
cow to be fresh next spring, carrying
a bunch of flo vers in her band and
looking charming in a gown of light
spring wagon, 6 shucks of corn, 3 ricks
of hay, 1 grind stone Mouseline de
sole trimmed with about 100 bundles
of wheat. The groom is a welt known
popular young man and always stood
well in society circles of 12 Berkshire
hogs while the bride is an accomplish
ed and talented teacher, a splendid
drove of Poland Chinas with pedi
grees furnished if desired. Among
the beautiful presents were two sets
of sliver knives and forks, 1 steam
riding plow, 2 wheel barrows, go cart,
bob sled and many other articles too
numerous to mention. Tbe bridal
couple left yesterday for an extended
12 months time to responsible parties
otherwise cash. Big free lunch at tbe
wedding breakfast, and after the state
fair they will be found hanging out
to receive callers at their cozy little
home at 10 o’clock sharp.”

Encouragement and Discouragement.
The Pender Republic refers to
the society ambitious in tbat town as
"codfish aristocrlcy.” Mostly carp up
this way.
An exchange thinks that the farm
boys who are being attracted by the
nifty uniforms and romance of the
seas on board a battle ship will win
more comfort and happiness in the
end if they stick to the blue jeans and
the farm. _
"I am not much of a mathematici
an" said a cigarette, "but I can add
to a mau’s nervous troubles; I can
subtract from his physical energy; I
can multiply his aches and pains; and
can divide his mental powers. loan
take Interest from his work, and dis
count his chances of success.
A Cherry county rancher criticises
the government weather prognosticat
ors for not keeping the stockmen post
ed on approaching storms and suggests
that if they would come up to the
ranch and go through a blizzard pull
ings steers out of swamps and streams
by the tail they might learn some
thing. _
A girl of rare Judgment says she
would marry the young fellow tbat
gets out and hustles for any Job, from
laboring with a shovel in a mortar box
to a salaried place in the field of com
merce, rather than the aimless chap
with kid gloves and no socks who
seems satisfied if he gets a nickel now
and then to buy a package of smoking
tobacco.
Tbe wife often does a great deal
more toward contributing to her bus
band’s success than she is given cred
it for, even by her liege lord. How nice
it would be If every husband would
say to his good wife, that she had
.cheered him on to success, that the
thoughts of the welcome that await
ed him on his returning home, had
kept up his courage and caused him to
win where lie might otherwise have
failed; or that tbe nicely kept and
cheery home, his always ready meals,
the economy with which tbe house
hold affairs are managed; all contrib
uted to success. All this is so true.
Many a mother, sister or wife have
made a success of a man who without
the guidance or inspiration of a good
woman would have been a failure.
Partnership Homestead Entry.
From a bulletin sent out by D. Olem
Deaver of the Burlington railroad this
paragraph Is taken:
The public land laws provide that
two persons may jointly take up pub
lic land under the mining laws, and
one person do the work on tbe claim,
tbe other furnishing the necessary
money to buy supplies. This is com
monly known as the Qrub-Stake law,
and each owns a half interest In any
land so obtained from the government.
There is no good reason why this prin
ciple should not apply to land taken
up under the homestead law, and a
bill embodying this idea is now before
Congress. If Congress should pass
this bill it would give any opportunity
for labor and capital to work together
in tbe matter of taking up public
land, one person furnishing the neces
sary money to properly improve and
go through with tbe homestead and
tbe other furnishing the necessary
work and residing on the claim. This
would provide a means for very many
worthy people to acquire a home who
have no hopes of getting homes of
their own under the present public
land laws.
