Holt county relatives received in formation of the death of J. W. Kellar at his home in Braidentown, Florida, on September 10. Mr. Kellar was for many years a resident of this county, owning a large ranch near Chambers. He disposed of his Holt county interests in 1880 and moved to Florida, where he made his home up to the time of his death. Last week L. L. Mandeville sold his section of land eight miles northeast of O’Neill to Thomas McKeown ol Corrol, Nebraska, for 842.50 per acre. Mr. McKeown expects to move upon the place next spring. Mr. Mande ville has not decided as to what he will do but will probably invest his cash in more Holt county real estate as he made a nice bunch of money on this section. He purchased it eight years ago for 816.00 per acre so he made 140 per cent upon his investment i and believes there is no country when J % man could do better. Tim McCarthy, one of southern Holt’s most prosperous farmers and stockmen, left this morning for a months visit with relatives at his old home Calumet, and Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Hardin of Monmouth, III., is In the city today and was a pleasant oaller at this ofHoe. Mr. Harding is the owner of the old Jackson ranch, northwest of this city and has been over looking over the property. He says that for a time he felt as if he iuid made an unfortunate investment when he purchased the ranch) but the jpist four or five years he has become convinced that he made a very for tunate investment. This country looks very good to him now. Bertha Clinton has filed suit for divorce from Fred Clinton to whom she was united in marriage on August 30,1898. She alleges that in 1910 he deserted her in Colorado and that since that time she has had to provide tor her own support and that of their child. That since that time she has never beard from him nor has known of his whereabouts, nor does she at the present time. She asks for the care and custody of their child and such other relief as the court may deem equitable. a. a. Hickman, rormeriy chairman of the county board, was In the city last Monday. Mr. Hickman says that there has been a good many horses lost north and south of Atkinson dur ing the past week from the horse sick ness that has been destroying hund reds of horses throughout this state and Kansas the past month. He says that he lost one horse the latter part of last week, but that the disease seems to be checked in that immedi ate vicinity but he does not believe it will be entirely eradicated until we have a good killing frost. Mrs. Bridget Reddln died at her home in this city last Tuesday morn ing at the advanced age of 97 years, after an illness of a few months of ailments incident to old age. De ceased has been a resident of this county since 1894, when the family moved to O’Neill from Wheeler coun ty. Deceased leaves a son, Patrick Reddin, to mourn her departure. The funeral was held from the Catho lic church last Wednesday morning, the remains being Interred In the Catholic cemetary. The oldest inhabitant has been compelled to “go away .back and sit down,” the snow whloh fell in this city last Tuesday was the cause Heretofore when anything out of the ordinary happened in certain seasons of the year, the seeker for knowledge could always go to the city scale office and there find some old timer who would say that that was nothing to what happened way back in the seventies or the early eighties. But none can be found who will say that we have had a snow fall in this country as early as September 24, up on which date snow fell in O’Neill in 1912. The same night a killing frost visited this section, which will put a stop to the growth of all vegetation. Many farmers think the frost will be a benefit Instead of a determint tc the corn crop while others think i good deal of the late corn will be graately Injured. Time alone can tell which Is right. Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Evans and children airlved in the city last Sat urday evening from Cordova, Alaska, and will spend a few months visiting at the home of Mr. Evans’ parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Evans. Mr. and Mrs. Evans went Into Alaska live years ago this fall and say they are glad to get back to God’s country. Mr. Evans has received an appoint ment In the government forest reserve and wlil be stationed in either Wash ington or Oregon, should he decide to aocept the appointment, and will go up there about the iirst of the year. Ralph, however, says that O’Neill looks pretty good to him and he may decide to remain with us. Mrs. Catherine Murphy died last Friday noon at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Mary Mullen, in this city. Deceased was born in County Cork, Ireland, about seventy years ago When a young lady she came to America and to northern Michigan where she married and In which state she lived for several years. For the past ten or twelve years she has made her home with her daughter in this city. She leaves three daughters to mourn her demise: Mrs. M. C Murphy of Spokane. Wash., Mrs Josie Murray of Omaha, and Mrs. Mary Mullen of this city. Thefuneral was held last Sunday morning from St. Patrick’s church, interment being in the Catholic cemetary. At the progressive county conven tion called for this city last Saturday a sufficient nnmber of voters to organ ize the new party in this county were not present and the meeting was ad journed to meet at Atkinson next Saturday. According to law a county convention called for the purpose of organizing a new party must be at tended by 100 voters of the county who must certify to the fact that they will support the nominees of tbe new party. At the meeting called for this city last Saturday there were about thirty voters present. H. A. Allen, who has been named by the state pro gressive committee as temporary chairman for this county, says that there will be no trouble in securing the required number of voters at the meeting in Atkinson next Saturday. The slim attendance at the meeting In this city last Saturday can be ac counted for from the fact that there are many republicans throughout the county who intend to support Roose velt for president but who do not be lieve in a third party and who believe that the republican county,senatorial, congressional and state tickets are thoroughly progressive and they in tend to support the ticket at the election. Claims to Cure Horses. Fremont Tribune: Being deluged with letters and telephone Inquiries from owners of plague-stricken horses, Mrs. A. N. Nelson, residing east of Fremont, whose singular success In treating the disease has been men tioned in the columns of the Tribune, appeared at the Tribune office this morning with an appeal that her pre scription be made public. "I can not answer so many letters and my telephone is ringing all the time," said Mrs. Nelson. "I hardly know what to do.” Mrs. Nelson claims that up to today she has cured no less than half a dozen horses by administering the treatment and that she has furnished her prescription free to no less than fifty persons. The main features of her treatment are abundant use of laxatives and the vigorous rubbing of the afflicted animals with a mixture or turpentine and lard as a means of keeping the biuoa in circulation, in other respeots, she urges precaution ary measures similar to those offered by the veterinarians. Horses should * be taken off the pasture and treated with laxatives as a preventative, with an abundance of pure water. Cures can be affected Mrs. Nelson says, only when treatment Is commenced while the animal Is still able to stand on Its feet. When paralysis has rendered its limbs useless, it Is too late. The di rections for treatment worked out by Mrs. Nelson are as follows: "Three tablespoons of aloes, six tablespoons of epsom salts, half a coffee cup of alcohol and three table spoons of table salt dissolved in a quart of water should be given the animal. Half a gallon of buttermilk in which four handsful of baking soda and one handful of salt should then be given and repeated In three or four hours if neoessary. Glycerine should be also Injected at repeated intervals as a laxative. "An external application of a mix ture of two quarts of turpentine and the same amount of lard Bhould next be made, tubbing the application in to every part of the body with much force. This should be continued for upward of an hour to enforae the cir culation of the blood and blankets must be placed about the horse when this has been done to keep the horse thoroughly warm. A little salt and water should be given to the horse before leaving It. “Green cornstalks and light food can be given to the horse during its convalescence but no grains or heavy food should be given. Throughout the entire treatment and during the recovery laxatives should be constant ly administered to the animal to keep its laternal organs In perfect con dition."
