The Frontier. VOLUME XXXV. O'NEILL, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY OCTOBER I 1914. NUMBER 16 LOCAL MATTERS. O’Neill seems rather quiet this week after the enormous crowds that were in the city last week.

Miss Bessie Jones died at the home of her mother in this city last Tuesday morning after a short illness. Miss Bessie has been one of Holt county’s most successful teachers for several years and this fall had been teaching school south of Emmet. Last Thurs day she came home as she had not been feeling well for several days and decided to take a few weeks vacation in the hopes that the threatened ill ness would pass away. Her illness was not considered serious and she was getting along nicely. Tuesday morning her mother heard her moving around the room and went in and ' asked her if she wished something. Bessie told her she was cold and her | mother carefully covered her and she dropped to sleep. When they entered | the room a couple of hours later she ; was dead, having passed away in her sleep. Deceased was born Febru ary 21, 1887, and was a little over 27 years of age at the time of her death. The funeral will be held this afternoon from the Presbyterian church. Charles Jones, of Scribner, Neb., ar rived in the city Wednesday evening to attend the funeral of his sister, Miss Bessie Jones. Mrs. P. H. Green, of Creighton, Neb., arrived in the city Wednesday after noon to attend the funeral of her cousin, Miss Bessie Jones. J. F. White, of Blair, Neb., will open up a clothing and men’s furnishing store in the Hiber building on west Douglas street on October 5th. Mr. White is not a stranger to O’Neill and this section of the state. The writer has known him for a quarter of a cen tury and know him to be a splendid business man and a live wire. For twenty-five years he was a mail clerk on the Northwestern running through here, resigning from the service some six years ago when he was elected county treasurer of Burt county. Since retiring from office he has been en gaged in the mercantile business in Blair. Mr. White owns a large ranch north of Stuart which he purchased when Holt county soil was not con sidered worth owning, during the days of Cleveland’s administration. The land has greatly increased in value and John has kept adding to it until now he owns 1,360 t.cres and has it stocked. He is one of the land barons of the county and we predict will prove a live wire in the business circles of our city. Walt Mason: The clock strikes one, the noon hour’s done, I must resume my toiling; man dare not sleep if he would keep the blooming pot a-boiling. For every hour the price of flour and other grub’s advancing; all things suffice to raise the price, the C. of L. enhancing. There’s threat of war in Labrador, according to dispatches, so we must pay far more today for cheese and parlor matches. There’s too much rain in southern Spain, fresh rain and kindred liquors, for we must blow far more, you know, for overshoes and slickers. The war on Serbs affects such herbs as we are fond of chewing; it takes more cash for succotash and all the greens we’re stewing.

The plight of Germany in having a war on hand causes a number of peo ple to wonder as to her ability to feed her people with outside assistance wholly cut off. If the United States were in| such an unfortunate con ditions) could we feed our selves ? We think so. The United States raises 68 per cent of all the corn raised in the world, 20 per cent of the wheat, 61 per cent of cotton products, 16 per cent of the cattle with 35 per cent of the tobacco for the soldiers to smoke and chew. We also furnish 63 per cent of all the petroleum output so there would be little danger of a shortage of gasoline with which to run our motor trucks and war aero planes.

The republican state candidates who are touring the state in automo biles reached this city at 10:60 last Monday night, nearly three hours be hind their schedule. Although the hour was late a good sized crowd had waited for them and upon their ar rivel Mr. Howell, candidate for gov ernor, made a short address. Mr. Howell told the things that he stood for in this campaign. He said that he was making the race on a platform that stood for the conserva tion of the public utilities for the benefit of the public and not private corporations. He told of the fight in Omaha over the water plant there and of the results obtained since it came into the hands of the people. After many improvements had been made, during the past two years that the plant has been owned by the municipality, $569,000 remained in the water fund. The fight for a municipal water plant in Omaha covered a period of sixteen years. lie is in favor of developing the water power of the state and forcing the corporations who now own water rights to develop the power or let their rights revert back to the state. He also spoke of the egg throwing in Omaha just prior to the primary election. He said that it would appear from that incident that he was not popular in Omaha and said that the candidate that ran closest to him in the primary received 1,200 votes in Omaha while he received 5,600. On account of the lateness of the hour he did not make a very extended address but hU remarks were closely listened to and he made a very favor able impression upon the audience. He also made a short address Tuesday morning, before leaving for Inman. He said he regrettedverymuchtUbtun avoidable circumstances prevented him from arriving upon schedule time and said that he would try and get back to O’Neill later in the cam paign for a night meeting in O'Neill. Mr. Howell was accompanied upon the trip by his wife and son, the latter driving the car; W. V. Hoagland, of North Platte, republican candidate for lieutenant governor; Charles Sears, republican candidate for attorney gen eral and A. O. Thomas, republican candidate for state superintendent. A delegation of O’Neill people com ’ posed of H. D. Grady, W. K. Hodg ■ kin, J. H. Meredith, William Joyce, W. H. Shaughnessey and D. H. Cronin went to Stuart to meet the party Mon ■ day afternoon. About ten auto loads 1 of republicans from this city went to Atkinson that afternoon to meet the 1 party, but on account of the lateness, of their arrival in that city most of them returned home before the ar rival of the touring party. A large crowd heard Mr. Howell and W. V. Hoagland at Atkinson and he made a very favorable impressioin upon the I voters. Tuesday morning the party left for i Inman, accompanied by a delegation from this city, where addresses were i made by W. V. Hoagland and Mr. I Howell and from there went on to Ew > ing, being escorted by republicans . from this city. Good sized crowds • were at both these places to hear the ’ speakers, a large number of demo > crats being in the audience in both ■ towns and the addresses were very > well received, and he was assured at i nearly every point by democrats that > they had enlisted in the fight for his - election this fall.
