Mrs. Maud McCreary, of Green Bay, j

though the meeting had not been ad
vertised until a few hours before a
large number of our citizens gathered
upon the corner to listen to Mrs.
McCreary’s address. She is a very
pleasing speaker, of good appearance
and made a very favorable impression
upon the citizens of this city. Whether i
her address added any strength to the t
suffrage cause or not is problametical. 1
As Nebraska votes upon equal suf- ]
frage at the genera! election this fall ,
we will undoubtedly have many suf- .
frage speakers here before the cam- j
paign is over. 't
Although there were but few people
left in the city last Saturday those
who remained to guard the city
thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The

pressed into service, one of the dray
wagons, drawn by four horses and
properly decorated, was used as the
band wagon and a parade was made
through the main streets of the city.
The band and the managers thereof
were tireless and abundance of music
was furnished throughout the after
noon. When things became rather
quiet here the band was taken to At
kinson where they furnished music to
the citizens of our sister city until the
small hours of the morning. Some of
those who left town to attend cele
brations say that from all accounts
those remaining in this City had a
splendid celebration.
We made a short drive in the
country last Monday and viewed some
splendid winter wheat fields. Ralph
Lawrence has a splendid piece of
wheat upon the Lorge farm just north
of town and Anthony Murray has a
field that he says will make fifty
bushels to the acre. The shocks stand
so thick in the field that it is almost
impossible to drive through the field
without running over grain. There
are three splendid fields upon the
Dickson farm four miles north of the
city. They were harvesting one field
and another field containing forty
acres was nice and green and splen
didly headed. This field is expected to
yield at least forty bushel to the acre.
lerb Jensen has a ten acre field of
cheat that he believes will go fifty
>ushel.to the acre and many other
armers have wheat that give prom
se of a splendid yield.
O’Neill was nearly deserted last
laturday, the great majority of our

hey had an enjoyable time. Our

hat had ever assembled within her

ng estimated at 6,000 people.
I. J. Boyle delivered the oration
if the day. Numerous am
isements were provided to en
ertain the people. In the after
loon a ball game between Emmet and
Vtkinson was the center of attraction,
rhe game was won by Atkinson with

nade in the first half of the first in
>ing and after that there was nothing

John Philip Gilligan was born Jan.
14, 1867, at Elizabethtown, N. Y. He
was a student in the office of John M.
Biglow of Albany, N. Y., who was at
that time the leading nose, throat, and
lung specialist of that city. Graduated
from tne Medical Department of Union
University at Albany, N. Y., March,
1890. Spent the following school year
pursuing studies in New York city and
during vacations, was a commissioned
officer on steamer New York H. R. L.,
for several successive summers.
When a young man he became badly
afflicted with the western fever and
sought the plains of Nebraska, which
for the time wrought a wonderful cure
which caused his return to New York
until the winter of ’91, '92, when the
practice of medicine was taken up in
Nebraska. Located at Anselmo, Cus
ter county, in what was very largely a
sod house practice. Removed to
O’Neill, December 17, 1892, residing
there since that time. Did post
graduate work several times in New
York and Chicago. Took a vacation
and mixed in politics in 1904, serving
in the Nebraska state senate in 1905.
Politics being regarded unfavorably
he declined a renomination.
Married Miss Maud E. Stoat in the
year 1897, to which union there are
two sons and a daughter. At present,
outside of his profession, he is in
terested in business, owning a half
interest in the firm of Gilligan &
Stout which is conducted by C. E.
Stout. Also is a stockholder in the
O’Neill National Bank. Owns some
choice farm land and in fact has be
come a chronic Nebraskan.
Dr. Gilligan has witnessed some
stirring events during his pioneer days
in Northerly Nebraska. He was one
of the first members of the Elkhurn
Valley Medical Society and has always
taken a live interest in the welfare of
that organization. He has been an
earnest, if unostentatious member of
the State association and has been
an honor to his profession both in pub
lic and private life. He represents a
type of medical practioner that is
rapidly disappearing, strong, staunch,
honorable, kind, just and sympathetic.
A clean-hearted, clear-minded, com
petent and careful family physician.
