Bright who Is now living In Los Angeles, Cal. Charley says that he did not know whether he would ever get enough money to gether to get back here again or not, and says that for a while <at least he wasn't anxious to come back as every thing was line in Los Angeles and he was In love with the country. He savs that the hottest It has been there Is 90 In the shade and there is always a cool breeze/blowing, which makes it very iebnforfcable. He Is living one block from the tyome of E. Kline, formerly of this cltK and says • that Mr. and Mrs Kline and family are well and enjoying good health. M. Dowling of Omaha, president of the O’Neill National bank, and H. P. Dowling, president of the Shelby State Bank, of Harlan, Iowa, and one of the stockholders in the O’Neill National, arrived in the city last Mon day afternoon for a few days visit and to look after business matters. Harry has been at Harlan a little over two years and Is president of one of the largest banks in that sect! in of the state. At the time of their last statement, Jude 28th last, their foot ings were $990,273.41, which Is a splendid showing for a bank In a town the size of Harlan, a town of about 4,000 people. Harry’s many Holt county friends will be pleased to learn of his success in the financial world. At a special election, held on July lfith, the people of the village of At kinson voted to adopt the referendum system of government for the conduct of their affairs. The referendum was adopted with a malorlty of three votes. Bonds for the extension of their w«,ter system were defeated by one vote. We understand that they will have apother election the fore part of August,under the referendum, to decide whether Intoxicating liquors will be sold In the village the balance of the fisoal vear or not. At the village election last spring the village voted dry but some are of the opinion tb$t a sufficient number of voters have changed their minds since then that the town will vote wet at the ■ next election. One of the most universal of cus ' toms when a promlnnt man dies is the hoisting of flags on public build ings only part of the fay up the flag poles, This is known as "half-mast:” but how many know .what the custom means or how It originated? To begin with this custom was a military one. Ever slnoe flags were used in want haa been the custom to have the flag of,the superior or oonquerlug nation above that of the Inferior or van quished. When an army found Itself hopelessly beaten it hauled down Its flag far enough for the flag of the victors to be placed above it on the same pole. This was a token, not only of submission but of respect. In like manner when a famous soldier died, flags were lowered not only to indioate respect to his memory, but to show that he had succumhed to the great conqueror of all, death—for whom flag space was metaphorically l^ft at the top of the flagstaff. The base bail game at Emmet last Sunday, between AtklnsOp 'and Emmet, to decide whicli had the best team In western Holt, was the magnet that drew hundreds of people from ttyis city and surrounding country to the little village of Emmet last Sun day afternoon. Each team had won a game previously and the one Sunday was the deciding one between the two' teams and a good game was looked for and the spectators witnessed a good game, even If the score was a little onesided, 9 to 2 in favor of Emmet. Oorey, the left handed twirler, who was on the mound for Emmet, was the whole show and had the Atkinson sluggers eating out of his hand all the way through. They were able to connect with his delivery, for only three lilts and he was entitled to a I shut out, Corey had good control and his curves were breaking; nicely and the heavy sluggers from Atkinson were wildly swinging at the air in an attempt to hit the elusive sphere. The game pitched by Corey was one of the best we have seen pitched in this section of the state for years, as he fanned 16 men during the engagement. With good support he would be a bard pitcher for any team in this section of the state to defeat. Kirk land was on the mound for Atkinson, and was touched up for twelve hits. It is but fair to Kirkland, however, to say tbit he was not feeling well and in no condition to pitch the game but done the beat he could. HR control was poor and his curves re fused to break and the Emmet boys landed for good hard drives almost at will. Eddie Alberts caught for Emmet and put up a nice game of backstopplrg, as usual. Arthur Ryan umpired the game and gav&gOod satis faction to the ball players and spec tators. Fair Association Organized. About thirty citizens or this city met last Friday evening in the office of J. A. Donohoe and organized the Holt County Agricultural Society and elected the following officers for the ensuing year: Ed. F. Gallagher, presi dent; U. E. Stout, vice president; O. O Snyder, treasurer; F. J. Dishner, secretary. Board of directors: T. V. Golden, M. H. McCarthy, J. A. Donohoe, J. F. O’Donnell and C E! Downey. Stnoe the old Holt county Aggricul tural Society, organized here a good many yeais ago. went out of existence ^he South Fork Agricultural Society has been receiving Ihe county aid voted each year by the county board for the encouragement of county falris. At the last session of the legislature a new law was enacted, which went in tifeffect at midnight on July 16, which provides that £he county board shall vote to the president of an agricultural society, organized for the Improve ment of agriculture in the county, which shall consist of twenty or more members who shall have paid into the treasury of the society the sum of $50, a sum of live cents for each inhabitant of the county, based upon the last vote cast for congressman in said county, allowing five inhabitants to each vote. The county aid under this law will amount to $675 this year. VifheCher this amount will be paid tp the South Fork Fair or to the newly organize^ Holt county Agricultural Society will probably be determined by the county board at their next regular meeting. The officers of the society expect to hold annual fairs in this county each year, and to erect suitable buildings upon the fair grounds for the aocomodation of Ihe people and the exhibits that will be brought here for display. It is a worthy enterprise I * ~ ---9 \ and one that should be encouraged by all citizens of the county. Card of Thanks. There are hours that come Into the lives of some, when every Impulse of the heart is burled under its^weight of sorrow. We stand Uiere today; yet we would fain give expression 10 the gratitude that wells up from the depths of our hearts as we remember the kindness of the many friends in O’Neill who done so much to comfort us in the hour of our affliction, and assisted at the burial of our beloved wife, daughter and sister. Michael Holland and family. Mr. and Mrs. John Flynn. Mrs. Ed. McLaughlin. NOTICE. / All x persons owing the Golden Furniture and Hardware are hereby notified that I intend to. commence suit on all unpaid accounts unless paid or adjusted by July 29. This is the final notice. T. V. GOLDEN. Federal Game Law. The national congress has passed a game law that will be effective October 1, next. Most of the states now have game laws but In many of them they are 'not enforced and to prevent the ruthless slaughter of wild game congress enacted the federal law. The states are divided Into two zones, northern and southern. Ne braska is |n the northern zone and the following from the secretary of the American Protective Game association will be ooq of interest to our readers: ■>» The.shooting season fixed for these two zones varies according to the foul classjfaotions of migratory birds that have been made,) as will be seen later. The zones thus established take the place of fifty similar districts, now existing under tne statutes of several states. , . By way of summarization the follow ing statements may be made: 1—Exceptions have been made in both zones for numerous reasons, but in most cases the closed season takes the average of the existing laws of the states in the particular zones in which they are located. 2— There has been more cutting down on'the closing than the opening dates of the shooting season as they now exist. 3— In most cases three months of open shooting are allowed for water fowl and in some cases as much as three and one-half months. 4— Spriog shooting is absolutely prohibited. 5— Shooting of migratory birds be tween sunset and sunrise is likewise prohibited. 6— In no case will there be less than thirty days when birds .may be shot during the period of their great est abundance. WHEN* SHOOTING IS PERMITTED 1— Water howl.Sept 1-Dec. 15 2— Rail.. .. .Sept I-Dec. 1 3— Woodcock.Oct 1-Dec. 1 4— Shorj birds .S?pt 1-Dec. 16 - No shooting whatever is allowed oh cranes, or the q^lumbidae-doves, pigeons, etc, A closed season unt il September 1, 1918, is es'Hb.isheu lor band-tailed pigeons, little brown, sandhill and whooping cranes, swans, curlews, all short birds except black breasted and golden plover, Wilson or jack snipe, wood duck, greater and lesser yellow legs. Insectivorous birds,including robins, larks, etc are protected at all times In all states and slmila*r protection is given the smaller short birds and other species which have been greatly reduced in numbers. A novel and important feature is the prohibititon of hunting on the great rivers of the country except during November and December. Prohibited territory designated by the regulation in this-tastance is as follows: i , 1— Mississippi river from New Orleans to Minneapolis. 2— Ohio river from its mouth to Pittsburg. 3— Missouri river between its mouth and Bismark, N. D. i Under the provisions of the Weeks McLean law^three months are giyen from the time these regulations are made public until they are presented to the president for approval and tin ally adopted. It is also provided that public hearings may be bad if deemed proper and it is assumed that these very probably will be held. PAID ADVERTISEMENTS. For Sale—Good ear corn.—S.

"Quaker Girls’ Orchestra'7 to Visit Our Town.\ "Who are the men?” That Is one of the questions asked by many who see the picture of the Quaker Girls’ Orchestra for the first time. We will try to explain. This is a company of eight people—a\l ladies and gentlemen of tare talent, culture and refinement. The name is taken from the five ladies of the company, the original Quakei Girls, who appear in a pleasing variety of musical numbers and,sketches. For this season the company will be aug mented by <the addition of- Ralph E. Boilegu of Chicago, baritone; Herbert J. Nelson, ’cellist and clarinetist, and Harry Du Boff, Russian violinist, thus making an aggregation of talent unique in Chautauqua history. The ajspearance of the five dainty, petite little Quakeresses in their musical and dramatic "stunts” cannot fail to please, while the heavier solo and en *emble musical numbers leaVe nothing to be desired from that angle. Alto: rether, It makes possible a prograin hat is little short of marvelous in Its [ versatility. ■ — >\ ■ ■- / * CHAUTAUQUA SEASON TICKETS There have been many inquiries the past few days, concerning the matter of admission fees to the Chautauqua that is soon to be opened in our city. There are two plans whereby one may gain admittance to *» e sessions; that is, by season ticket and by single admission ticket. There will be three or four entertainments each day, usually two in the afternoon and , two in the evening.^ You can buy a ticket admitting you to a sin gle session or you can get a season ticket good for all the programs throughout the Chautau qua. The latter can be bought at a savirtg of from one-half to two-thirds over the single admission plan. We strongly advise our readers to buy a season ticket for each member of the family, and all go. Let us put forth a united effort in order that we may have a great Chautauqua. Get tickets Aow! The committee has them. Any business man can tell you where to go to find them. 1 \ The committee has only a limited time in which to sell these tickets at*he present price. When the big tenf arrives and the Chautau qua crew is on the ground, the price will be | advanced.

Comes Here This Summer With His Celebrated Organization—Will Be j Feature of Chautauqua. j — ■ i Signor Salyatore Ciricillo was a pre- | Voclous youngster, especially along ! musical lines. At the age of eleven years, fame had already come to him' •as the cornet soloist of the Genoa (Italy) Municipal Band. At eighteen years ,of age he had won renown.as the assistant director of the Fifty-fifth and Sixty-third regiment bands in Italy. CIRIClfcLO. Nipe years ago Signor Ciricillo took up his residence-in Cleveland, where his talents and abilities received quick recognition from press and public alike. He has surrounded himself with a most capable company of musi cians, most of whom have been asso ciated with him on concert tours for several years. This long artistic asso ciation, together with Signor Ciricillo's thorough knowledge of music and his remark&ble directorial abilities, in sures music of ^he highest order from his celebrated organization, and is -re sponsible for the praise that he and his band have received wherever they have played. ■; '' It is a tiny little book,".only five ana a half inches long and three and a half inches wide. It is bound in bright red morocco leather, with the word "Bible" printed in diminutive gold letters on the back. But one does not see that red morocco cover unless be removes the little black leather slip whiph pro tects it Hong, loiiTJ ago the little,red Bibie begun to show wear, ^nd then the black leather slip was made to protect it—so long ago, in fact, that fif teen of those covers, made to protect the venerated little volume, were worn out in the service. It is without doubt one of the oldest Bibles, if not the very oldest Bible, connected with the government and is certainly the most historical. It is the book upon which since 1800 every chief Justice—with the single exception of Chief Justice Chase — and every member of the supreme court has taken the oath of allegiance when ac cepting his appointment to our highest tribunal. More than that, every at torney who has practiced before the supreme court since that date. 1800, has pledged his allegiance over the little volume—all, with one exception also, and that exception was Daniel Webster. It is told even yet of the supreme court of that day that Mr. Webster’s fame as an orator had so preceded him that on the oc&ision when he came to argue his first case before the couft the clerk, Mr. Caldwell, in his eager ness to hear the great speaker, forgo! to administer the oath. S, Unmasked. “Did you ever stop to think what lit tie things betray one's station in life?’’ said a woman as she itched the crowd come and go in a restaurant Two stylishly gowned young women who had just come in had removed their gloves. When they entered every body took notice. When they took off their gloves they revealed cheap rings on their fingers. Had they worn no Jewels there Would still have been a doubt as to their position. As it was, their knowledge as to the latest cut in gowns did not make up for their de ficiency of taste fin the matter of jew els.—New York Sun. Ears of Animals. The ears of the tigers, foxes, wolves, cats <ind other beasts of prey bend for ward. while the ears of animals of -flight, such as hares, rabbits, deer, etc.. bend backward. This is because the ears of beasts of prey are designed for the purpose of collecting sounds in the direction taken by the animal in pur suit of its prey. The eaj-s of an anl- * mal of qight b# turning backyard, en able it to hear the sounds made by a # pursuer.
