The Emmet Literary Association entertained about forty friends at a banquet at the Evans hotel last Mon day night, it being the 134th anniver sary of the birth of Ireland’s martyred hero, Robert Emmet. ALer the tempting viands that had been pre pared for the guests had been disposed Of T. V. Golden, who presided as toastmaster, stated the cause of the gathering and referred in glowing terras to the life of the iman whose natal anniversary was celebrated in all parts of the world by Irishmen in whose hearts was the hope that the day was not far distant when Ireland would take her place among the na tions of the earth as a free and Inde pendent country. Senator J. A. Don ahoe was called upon and delivered Emmet’s last speech, which was de livered in the dock just prior to the passing of the death sentence upon him, and Mr. Donohoe’s delivery of this classlo was such as to win for him self additional laurels as an elocu tionist. Judge Carton, E. H. Whelan and William Fallon, delivered recitat ions which convinced their friends that they were past masters in the art of elocution. J. J. McCafferty, Col. Nell Brennan, H. J. Boyle and Rev. Father O’Sullivan delivered addresses, the one by the latter being about the best ever heard by an aud lenoeata simlltar meeting in this City. His word picture of the scenes and events in Ireland during the many years that the people of that country were struggling to throw oil the yoke of British tyranny and op pression was touching and deeply moved his auditors. The banqueters dispersed at 1:30 and each one felt that they had been allowed to partic ipate in one of the finest meetings of that character ever held in this city. Socialists Attention.

The Annual township meeting of the electors of Grattan township was held at the court bouse last Tuesday afternoon and was one of the most in teresting town meetings held in Grat tan township for severallyears. There has been considerable dissatisfaction among the tax payers of the township over the way the road money appro prlated for some of the districts was expended the past year and they were present in force to express their dis approval. The meeting was called to order and T. V. Golden was elected chairman. The minutes of the last annual meet ing were then read and approved Senator Donohue then made a motion that a levy of three mills be made up on the taxable property of the town ship for tiie purpose of supporting a public library. After the motion had been duly placed before the meeting Senator Donahoe made an eloquent and forceful address in behalf of the levy and explained to the electors the purpose of the levy. He said that An drew Carnegie had made a proposition to donate $1,000 for every hundredivot ed for by the tax payers (of the town ship for the purpose of building a pub lic library. That if the electors voted the levy of three mills that it would raise about $1,500 and that Mr. Car negie wduld donate $15,000 for the purpose of building a public library in the township. He further explained to the taxpayers that there was but two other towns In the state the size of O’Neill that did not have public libraries. He was ably seconded in his appeal for the voting of the levy by Judge Harrington and II. M Uttley. while tile voting of the levy was opposed by Patrlok Hughes and M. Slattery. After considerable purlimentary discussion the question of making the levy was put to a vote and the proposition carried by a vote of »1 to 25. A special levy of three mills was then made for the purpose of grading the road south of town from the rail road south to the township line. A general road levy of three mills was then levied, the amount so received to be equally divided among the three road districts. A two mill levy was made for general purposes and a one mill levy for bridge purposes. Considerable discussion was partici pated in regarding road building and a Mr. Booth, who lives north of Stuart and wbo has had thirty years experience building roads in the state, was present and was called upon to discuss the question of road building | Wright & Brewer | The Up-To-Date Auctioneers |l We cry sales anytime or anywhere and guarantee satisfaction. f Big ranch sales a specialty.
