MINOR MENTION
Last Week this office received a
letter from 0. L. 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.

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.

QUAKER GIRLS ORCHESTRA.
THE BEST IS NONE TOO GOOD.
"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

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.

IS FAMOUS BAND LEADER.
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.
