are questions that no one can answer.
The contestants are all working and

D. A. Oriss, agent for the North
western railroad, reported that the
superintendent of the W. U. telegraph
company would be In town within a

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.

Club that he was willing to help all
be could and courted an investigation.
F. J. Dishner, of the road commit

the best road.
Several other committee reported
progress when the meeting adjourned.
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.

An institution, in order to have a good character,
must think honesty, act honesty, breathe honesty.
