Miss Gladys Harcock of Inman,Miss Mildred Wertz of Star, and Miss Catherine Morrison of O’Neill, won lavaliers and Miss Hazel McParlin won a gold locket. Miss Mae Shoe maker and Miss Miss Mildred Downey tied for the diamond ring. Usually when there is a tie for a prize, the prize is sold and money divided, but the contest manager and Mr. Cronin decided the girls had done such exceptionally fine work that each should have a diamond, and Wednesday morning the young ladies each received a beautiful diamond ring for the excellant work they have done for The Frontier. The young ladies all feel very proud of the prizes they won, and why should’nt they, when their work is doing double service. All the votes gathered while winning the specials go toward winning the automobile.

This will boost your standing for the auto mobile and will also help to win you another prize. Now the question that is on every bodys lips is “who will get the auto?1' Well, who will? Will the one who is in the lead today be able to main tain that lead until the end? These are questions that no one can answer. The contestants are all working and especially Miss Mildred Wertz who came into the contest at a late date and is rubbing shoulders with the leaders. Miss Wertz has made a very remark able showing for the short time she has been working. Miss Clara Dick erson of Atkinson, Miss Anna Mc Caffrey of Emmet, Miss Sadie Brian of Ewing and Miss Marcella Mattice are fast coming to the top. Will one of them head the list at the next _V. 1 :_I_O TXT „ „,111 „ ~ « pu IVUVIM Ull .

The regular monthly meeting and banquet of the O’Neill Commercial Club was held in the dining room of the Golden Hotel at 8 o’clock Tues day evening at which time a large and enthusiastic attendence was present.

U. telegraph company would be In town within a few days for the purpose of making bis recommendation as to putting in an uptown office here. The Club then passed a resolution demanding the telegraph company put in the uptown office for the benefit of its patrons here, and a committee of three was appointed to confer with the superin tendent upon his arrival. The matter of the lowering of elec tric light charges was then taken up. A large number present were of the opinion that the rates at the present time are too high and the secretary was instructed to take the matter up at once and find out the conditions, rates, service, and other matters in connection with lighting plants in cities similar in size to O'Neill and if the rates here are found to be higher to endeavor to get the Electric Light company to lower their tariffs. Mr. Best, tiie manager of the local com pany, was present and assured the Club that he was willing to help all be could and courted an investigation. F. J.

These monthly meetings are going to play a very important part In the future of O’Neill and all the members of the Club are urgedjto attend and others who are not members are asked to join and help. Kelly-Bain. A large delegation of O’Neill people witnessed a very pretty wedding last Tuesday morning at St. Patrick’s church, when Rev. Father Gleeson united in wedlock Mr. James J.

While absent he visited an uncle in Kansas City whom he had not seen since 1865. Mr. Beaver says he had an enjoyable visit and had a splendid opportunty to Jobserve the different states in which he visited.
