Mann store a year ago,has decid ed to quit business in this city and is bolding a closing out sale. This is a genuine sale as Mr. Wysocki wants to get bis stock converted into money by January 1st. Mr Wysocki says that he was well pleased with O’Neill as a borne and a place of business but that he wants to get into a larger town where he could handle a larger stock, and that this was the reason he decided to close out his store here. Last Monday we attended a cattle sale at Hugh O’Neill’s ranch on the Niobrara river north of this city some thirty-five miles. The sale was quite largely attended by buyers and politi cal'candidates. As the cattle were not bringing the price that Mr. O’Neill thought they should the price was called off after shout thirty-five head had been sold. We hotlced some splendid corn fields between here and the river and think there is no question but what Holt county will harvest the largest corn crop in her history this fall. The Naper News: Joe HunteF republican candidate for the state senate from northwestern Holtoounty and Steve Richardson of Butte were interviewing West end voters this afternoon. Mr. Hunter has the appearance of a good level headed business man who. will make good in the senate.

Omaha Bee: “Actual construction work on a system of interurban rail way lines connecting Omaha with Norfork and Sioux City is to be start ed next spring to get passenger and freight electric trolley cars In oper ation within two years.” This announcement has been made by 0. W. Baker, president of the Baker Construction company, pro moting company for the Nebraska Transportation company and a num ber of eastern financiers who are back of the project. According to Mr. Baker, the bonds have all been sold and the company is now ready to began the actual con struction, but owing to delay in negotiations for passenger terminals and sights for storage and power houses in Omaha which are to br cleared away this winter construction will not beg Ip on the system radiating from Omfcha until spring. qfa A subsidiary eampany, the Niobrara Sioux City Railway and Power com pany Is now building its lines conect lng Sioux city, Hartlngtou, Bloom field, Owner and Niobrara, a distance of 161 miles. The system of the main lines of the Nebraska Transportation company comprises 284 Miles, the rights-of-way of which have been completed by the surveyors. The main line will run from Omaha through Bennington, Elk City, Fre mont Howell and Stanton to NOrfolk Branch lines will radiate from Howells to Clarkson, Leigh and Madi son. The other main line extends through Arlington, Talabasta, Craig, Bartha Junction, Walthill, Win nebago, Homer, Dakota City and South Sioux City to Sioux City.

The Omaha project he says is backed by three Omaha business men whose names he will not make public, ind the Nebraska Transportation company. The project is furthered by bonds and no stock Is to be sold. I'he enterprise is backed with *16,000, 000 Mr. Baker says that the assets of the Nebraska Transportation company coupled with outside capitalists. Mr. Baker savs he will ask the Omaha Commercial club for assistance in securing passenger terminals and ware-house sites. “The towns which these lines touch have greatly assisted us,” says Mr. Baker, “but thus far we have been unable to get much encouragement in Omaha. The lines are going through though, for we have the money to put them through. The only troubles we have now are small matters such as terminal facilities.’’ The above is the interurban road that the promoters figure upon run ning from Verdigris to O'Neill and then south to Chambers. Residents of eastern and southrrn Holt hope to see the road built. The Live Stock Market South Omaha, Neb. Oct, 29th, 1912. The “Standard” Live Stock Com mission Co.

The work of installing tbe tranfer switch, to connect the Burlington and Northwestern railroads, was com menced last Tuesday morning. This swltoh was ordered by the state rail way commission after a hearing upon the merits of the case held in this city last month. When this is completed cars will be transferred from the Burlington to the Northwestern road here and merchandise intended for western points that come into this city over t he Burlington will not have to be transferred to the other road* here. Parties interested say that it | will be a vast benefit to tbe people living upon the Northwestern road west of here. Oue of the best foot ball games ever seen on the O’Neill gridiron was played here last Friday between Gates Academy and the O’Neill High School. It ended in a tie, neither side being able to score. The Gates men, although much heavier than the O’NellJ boys, were clearly out played througout the whole game and at no time bad any chance to score. Our boys played good steady foot-ball and twice in the third and fourth quarters had the ball on Gates’ five yard line but fumbling and poor headwork were responsible for not scoring. Another game will be played between the two teams at Neligh on the 15th and a good game is looked for. M. F. Harrington addressed a crowd ed house at the K. 0. hall last Mon day evening upon the political issues of the day from a progressive stand point. M. F. is always assured of a crowded house in his home city, show that the old adage, that a man is without honor in his own country, does not apply to Mr. Harrington in his home town, for there is no speaker that the people of O’Neill love to bear address them as their own M. F Many democrats, who were present thinks Mr. Harrington was especially hard upon their presidential candi date, but after listening to him they are willing to admit that he is able and capable of giving them reasons for the faith that is in him in the support of his presidential candidate, Theodore Roosevelt. Mr. Allen, the progressive candidate for state senator delivered a short address, prior to the remarks of Mr. Harrington, whloh were fairly well received. The en thusiasm manifested at the meeting must have been convincing to tire followers of the old paries that there Is considerable new party sentiment In this county, that will make itself felt at the polls on election day.
