Mr. and Mrs. Martin Maloney of Sioux Oity returned to tbelr home Sunday after a weeks visit with the former's sister, Mrs. John Hickey. County Clerk McNichols was back on his job at the oourt house again last Monday and had a box of oigars on tap for the “boys” who fre quented that office. Ten head of Angus yearling steers sold in the open market at Chicago last week at 912 per hundred pounds, the highest price ever (aid for cattle on tbe open market. Will they be that high during tbe last year of W ilson’s adminstration? A new steel ceiling has been placed upon the Plxley drug store, tbe wood work, shelves and other fixtures re varnished and the store now presents a very attractl ve a ppearance. The re pairing was made necessary on acoouot of the fire last May, which done several hundred dollars worth of damage to the interior of tbe building Luther McCarthy of Springfield, Mo , defeated Jim Flynn of Pueblo, Colo., in tbe elimination contest to decide who is the heavy weight pug of tbe country. The battle was stag ed in California last Tuesday night, McCarthy being awarded tbe decision I in tbe sixteenth round. Mike Mo '• "U Oarthy’s friends say that the .pat-] come of the local post office scrap wflll be like the Flynn-McOarthy fight, everything In Mike’s favor and that the other candidates will be elimin ated from the contest long before the end of the scrap. The county board are In session this week looking after numerous matters coming before their attention. At this meeting bonds of the officers elected last fall will be approved and several road matters are before the board for settlement. The members are of the opinion that the session will last the greater part of the week. The rural mall route, running southeast of O’Neill, and petitioned for by Samuel Wolfe and others, has been allowed by the post office depart ment. The service upon the route for a time, until they secure additional patrons, will be thrice a week. As soon as additional patrons can be secured the route will be served daily. “Montana” Jack Sullivan of this olty has been signed for a ten round go with Toung McCarthy of Ravenna, Neb., on next Tuesday at Grand Is land, Neb. McCarthy Is a husky and promising sorapper and Is oappble of giving a good account of himself in the ring with any man In the middle weight class. Several local sports are figuring on going to Grand Island to witness the bout. Joe Daly, of Lincoln, son of William Daly formerly of this city, Is a candi date for the appointment as superin tendent of the state reform school at Kearney and petitions In favor of his candidacy were circulated in this city and quite liberally signed by the leaders among the local democrats. The appointment will be made by Governor-elect Morehead shortly after his Inauguration In January. Mayor Blglin, Oounctlmen Hilliard and Cronin were In Norfolk last Satur day getting some figures upon the cost of pumping the water for the city. The electric light company has made a proposition to the city to pump the water until May 1, at so much per klllowatand the oouncll,desiring to be Informed as to the charge made for like service In other towns,members of the council made the trip to Norfolk. George W. Peterson of Middle Branch, age 20 years, and Miss Carrie C. Peterson of Herman, Neb., aged 26 years, were united in marriage at the County Court room last Tuesday after - ■ —'•■i'll tmmidmm4tmm»m^i)itmm> , nopn by County Judge Carton, it the young man was under age Ms * father accompanied him and gave his consent to the wedding. Although both parties have the same name and the parent* of both were born in Den mark, there is no blood relationship. The ladles of the Presbyterian eburcb will hold their annual Christ mas sale on Saturday, Deoenfber 14, in the New Golden Hotel. They will have for sale beautifully dressed dolls, silk bags, boudoir caps, fancy and woik aprons and other articles suitable fdr Christmas gifts. They will also have a table of good things to eat; Bread, cakes, pies and moat delicious home made candy. The sale will open Saturday, December 14 at 2 P. M. The Nebraska Insurgent Woodmen won their case In the district court at Hastings last week. Two Judges sat In the trial of the case and they isened an Injunction preventing tile bead officers from enforcing the rates levied at the last head camp. The la junction holds until Maroh 1, 1914. As the next head osmp meets in I9M the chances are that the membership In this styte will not be further bothered with an attempt to taereaae their rates until the meeting of the next head camp. There has been considerable talk among local democrats during the past week or ten days as to who would be able to land the postoffioe plum under the new administration. M. H. McCarthy, who has for years been one of the wheel horses of the party and always supported the nominees of the party, Is an active candidate for the appointment as is also George A. Miles of the Independent. We under stand that D. A. Doyle, who served the people of this elty as postmaster under the last Cleveland adminis tration and who was the chairman of the Holt county delegation to the last democratic state convention, will also enter the race as a candidate. Besides the above three we have beard the names of half a dozen others mentioned, some of whom are liable * to get Into the race before the entries close. The term of the present in cumbent does not expire until De cember, 1915,and if the administration allows appointees to serve their full term local democrats will have quite a while to wait before they wlU be able to get up to the pic saunter.
