Take Plenty of Time to Eat.
There is a saying that “rapid eating
is slow suicide.” If you have formed
the habit of eating too rapidly you
are most likely suffering from in
digestion or constipation, which will
result eventually in serious illness un
less corrected. Digestion begins in
the mouth. Food should be
thoroughly masticated and iusalivat
ed. Then when you have a fullness of
the stormch or feel dull and stupid
after eating, take one of Cham
berlain’s Tablets. Many sev6*e cases
of stomach trouble and constipation
have been cured by tne use of these
tablets. They are easy to take and
most agreeable in effect. For sale by
all dealers. Adv.
Gilt Edge flour $1.10 at Bazelman’s.

RUNAWAY AT FUNERAL
Bride of O'Neill Man Has Exciting
Experience on Solemn Occasion.
Omaha News: Four women attend
ed the funeral of Mrs. AlmaO, Tilton,
Fifteen and Ohio streeFs, unde dif
ficulties yesterday afternoon. They
got started late, their carriage team
ran away, they were nearly wrecked
in Miller park, but they were not dis
suaded from taking part in the funeral
procession. They got in a passing
auto, caught up wjth the procession,
and accompanied the rest of the
mourners to the cemetery.
One of the victims of the wild ride
was Mrs.Daniel Canfield of 1814 Cali
fornia street, a bride of a week and
wife of one of the pall bearers.
Mrs. Qanfleld held her three
companions inside the carriage while
the conveyance swung from side to
side of the road.
Upon reaching the west side of Mil
ler park the runaway team was stop
ped by two soldiers and John Sherry,
driver of a bottling works wagon.
One of the women fainted as the
carriage was stopped. The funeral
cortege, just in sight, was stopped.
Ralph Kitchen, proprietor of the Pax
ton hotel, happened along in an auto
and picked up the four stranded
women, taking them to Forest Lawn
cemetery with the funeral procession.
Driver Peter Hansen of the funeral
carriage says the women told him to
hurry and catch the funeral procession.
"I did hurry, but when I tried to
check the horses they got beyond con
trol,” stated Driven Hansen.
The animals ran nearly two miles,
much of the way through a circuitous
boulevard and narrowly avoiding colli
sions.
Live Stock Market Uncertain.
South Omaha, June 3.—Gentlemen:
we will not attempt to send our usual
market letter today as the conditions
are somewhat unusual owing to the
strike of the packing house employes
at Sioux City. Stock from that
territory is coming to Omaha and we
have unusual heavy receipts,
especially on hogs, here -today with a
threatening strike of the employes of
the Omaha packing plants also we
feel that the only thing to do is to
send out a warning to the shippers to
exercise caution with regard to both
buying and shipping of stock for the
present.
We are entertaining the Nebraska
editors here today so they will have
an opportunity to view the situation
personally.

At the meeting of the city council
Tuesday evening the matter of com

Wednesday Mr. Mullen gave notice to
these that meters would have to be
attached or their water supply would
be discontinued. The council Is also
planning to build water runways at
various street crossings where now
over flows are experienced during
heavy rains, an appropriation of $500
having been made for this purpose.
The first of the week the Board of
Education accepted the bid of the
O’Neill National bank for the issue of
$50,000 of school bonds voted for
building a new school house. The
bonds are taken less the accumulated
interest from April 1 to date of delivery
and a premium of $1,100. This was a
considerable better offer than bids re
ceived from eastern brokers. It was
one of the largest financial deals ever
undertaken by a local concern and
shows that O’Neill has reached a
place of commercial and financial
importance. The bonds are to be
delivered at an early date. Work on
the school house commences as soon as
the excavations can be made, which
are now under way both for the school
house and library building. One
company has the contract for both
these buildings ana will built both at
the same time.
The O’Neill Post of G. A. R. wishes
to return its sincere thanks to the
general public for the interest taken
in our Memorial Day exercises as
manifested bv so large an attendance.
We also \ender our thanks to the
ladies who worked so faithfully in
preparing for these exercises; to the
best glee club in the valley who sang
so sweetly; to the nicest bunch of
girls from anywhere who so pleasantly
and cheerfully performed their allott
ed parts; to the auto boys who so
kindly furnished their cars to give us
a pleasant ride to and from the ceme
tery and around our beautiful city.
We would not forget the speaker of
the day who gave us such an able and
well prepared discourse, nor our
mayor who so willingly assisted us in
making our last Decoration Day one
of the best and pleasantest we have
ever enjoyed. ***
Relic of Past Ages
Ainworth Star - Journal: While
Prof Whltford was out at Devil’s
Gulch, near the Niobrara river a few
weeks ago, he made two valuable
finds for the geologists of this state,
and last week Prof. Harbour and 0. H.
Eaton came up from the State Uni
versity at Lincoln, and with the aid
of Mr. Whltford and several others
they succeeded In dlging out of a cliff,
eight feet from the top, a skull of an
enormous prehistoric animal, also
another skull and hip bone about
40 feet further down. The animals,
of which these bones were a part,
must have been twelve or fifteen feet
high. It required two teams and
wagons to haul them to Ainsworth,
where they were properly crated and
shipped to Lincoln. One of the skulls
and tusks was estimated to weigh
eight hundred pounds.OThey were
tine specimens and made a valuable
addition to the collection at Lincoln.

| THE LOCAL tV. C. T. U. |
BY MRS. 0. E. BURCH
We copy the following from the
auto blograph of Franklin. It shows
what this wise man thought of beer.
“At my first admission into this
printing house I took to working at <
press, imagining I felt a want of the
bodily exercise 1 bad been used ta in
America, where press work is mixed
with composing. I drank only water;
the other workmen, near fifty in
number, were great guzzlers of beer.
On occasion, I carried up and down
stairs a large form of type in each
band, when others carried but one in
both hands. They wondered to see,
from this and several instances, that
the water American,as they called me,
was stronger than themselves, who
drank strong beer. We have an ale
house boy who attended always in the
house to supply the workman. My
companion at the press drank every
day a pint before breakfast, a pint at
breakfast with his bread and cbeeBe,
a pint between breakfast and dinner,
a pint at dinner, a pint in the after
noon, and another when he had done
his day’s work. 1 thought it a detes
table custom; but it was necessary, he
supposed, to drink strong beer that he
might be strong to labor. I endeavor
ed to convince him that the bodily
strength afforded by beer could only
be in proportion to the grain or flour
of the barley dissolved in the water of
which it was made; that there was
more flour in a pennys worth of bread
and therefore if he would put that
with a pint of water it would give
him more strength than a quart of
beer. He drank on, however, and had
four or five shillings to pay out of bis
wages every Saturday night for that
muddling liquor; an expense which I
was free from. At this these poor
devils keep themselves always under.'1

SOME HOG FEEDERS
Have the advantage over others when it comes to the cost
of feed. These are the ones who live close enough to O’Neill
to get butter milk from the creamery. BUTTER MILK is
acknowledged by many Of the most experienced hog feeders |
to be not only the cheapest by far, but also ohe of the very
best of feeds. We have a lot of it at all times. Very good
and very cheap—only 25c for a 50 gallon barrel.
