Neb. Historical Society J , ■ — ^ The Frontier. VOLUME XXXV._O’NEILL. NEBRASKA, THURSDAY NOVEMBER 5 1914._NUMBER 21 MOREHEAD WINS Governor Re-Elected by Big Majority Balance of Ticket Close, But Prob ly Republican. Holt County Strong For Democratic State Ticket, Split on County Ticket. The election Tuesday was one of th< quietest ever seen in this city, and th< heaviest vote ever cast here was cast 396 in the three wards. The vote ii the county was light, 250 less that was polled two years ago. It is esti mated that there was 4,200 voters ir the county and as there was but about 3,545 cast at the election aboul 650 voters absented themselves froir the polls on election day. The greatest interest in the city was on the fight for county attorney and for sheriff. For the former offict Walter Hodgkin was elected with £ . majority of a little over 100. He car ried every township in the east anc northeast portion of the county, soim of them by very heavy majorities Boyle performed the heretofore con sidered impossible by carrying Atkin son township, which has always beer one of the banner republican pre cincts, with a majority of 16. Henry Grady ran like a quarter horse in the race for sheriff. He will have over 500 majority over Stantor and will probably receive a clear ma jority over both candidates. P. C. Kelly has been elected county ! clerk with a majority of about 200 ; ovr Hubbell. Porter being third man , in the race. Porter drew support i from both the other candidates, but heaviest from Hubbell which gave Kelly the election. Porter received all but thirteen of the votes in his own township, Chambers. Treasurer Sullivan, Representative Cronin, Superintendent Miller and Surveyor Norton had no opposition and have been re-elected. Dr. E. T. Wilson was re-elected to the office of coroner, defeating Dr. McDonold, of Stuart, by about 250. Judge Carlon was re-elected county judge, defeating Isaac Millspaugh, of Atkinson, by a majority of approxi mately 1,500, carrying nearly every township in the county. John A. Robertson has been re elected state senator, receiving a ma jority of about 500 in the county and over 200 in Boyd. The other counties have not been heard frombuttheywill probably cut down his lead but very little. Cris Anderson has been re-elected representative from the Fifty-fourth district.

Kinkaid has been be-elected to fcon gress from this district with an in creased majority over that of two years ago. He will have between 800 and 1,000 majority in this county.' Governor Morehead will have a ma jority of about 400 in the count^ and the entire democratic state ticketliav* good majorities in the county. Returns on the suffrage amendfrient are not complete but it has probably lost in this county by about 50. i’rom late reports it is very close in the state with chances favoring its re jection. Of the supervisors elected two are republicans and two democrats. M. P. Sullivan was re-elected in this district, defeating his nearest oppo nent, W. H. Shaughnesy by 84 votes The vote was as follows: Sullivan, 253; Shaughnesy, 169; Howard, 137.

Furley came up from Ewing last Wednesday. John Carson, of Dorsey, was in O’Neill Monday on business. Mrs. B. P. Smith and son, Lyle S., came up from Ewing Sunday evening. E. Roy Townsend was down from his Wyoming ranch the first of the week. Attorney Jouvenat, of Atkinson, was transacting business in the city last Wednesday. Now that election is over people will begin to think of Thanksgiving and the holidays. Levi Hershiser, of Emmet, and Mrs. Catherine Glick, of Inez, were granted a marriage license last Wednesday. Mrs, Ed. Latta and children, of Tekamah, arrived in the city last evening for a few days visit with relatives. Will Carson, Will Darr and R. Pil ger, of the Dorsey neighborhood, were pleasant callers at these headquarters last Monday. Mrs. S. J. Weekes, who has been visiting at the home of hqr parents in Omaha the past few weeks, re turned home last night. Mrs. May Henry, of Mt. Vernon, Iowa, arrived in the city Sunday evening. She is visiting at the homes of E. D. and Geo. M. Henry. It has been demonstrated once again that the only time to tell any thing about how an election is coming out, is after the votes are counted. Editor Jackson came up from In man yesterday to get the election re turns and spend a few hours dis cussing the outcome of the election. P. X. Larson, W. H. Decker and Fred Cronk were up from Page last Wednesday to hear the election re turns from the various precincts of the county. Miss Etta Froelich was taken to Omaha Tuesday morning to submit to an operation for appendicitus, being accompanied by her mother and Dr. J. P. Gilligan. The Annual County Convention of Sunday Schools, of Holt County, will be held at the Presbyterian church in O’Neill, on Monday night and all day Tuesday, November 9 and 10. Prof. Marren, Miss Snyder and Miss Waters, of the High School, left Wed nesday morning for Omaha to attend the annua! meeting of the Nebraska State Teachers’ Association and there is no school in the High School the last three days of this week. James Murphy, who had been visit ing at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. T. Murphy north of this city for a couple of weeks, returned to his home in Omaha last week. Mr. Mur phy is a member of the Omaha police force and is recognized as one of the best men on the force. Mr. and Mrs. John Carton went to Norfolk the latter part of the week, being called there by the death of their son-in-law, H. C. Sattler, one of the pioneer business men of that city. Mr. Carton had been down there for a couple of weeks and had returned but a few days before the news came of Mr. Sattlei’s death. Mrs. Harriett MacMurphy, formerly one of the Nebraska State Food In spectors, was in the city the past week interviewing the voters in behalf of Womans’ Suffrage, and she felt quite pleased at the vote the suffrage amendment received in this city Mrs. MacMurphy is a resident of this county, as she has a homestead on the Niobrara river, north of Atkinson. Tim Ryan, who has been operaor at the Northwestern depot here the past year and manager of the base ball team the later part of the season, has been appointed station agent at Fair fax, S. D. Tim is a hustler and an all-round good fellow and The Frontier congratulates him upon se curing such a desirable position in the service of the railroad company. The High School foot ballteamwent down to Norfolk last Friday and played the High School team of that city and suffered the first defeat of the season, losing to them with a score of 57 to 0. Although defeated the local boys put up a splendid game and their contest was spoken of very highly by the Norfolk papers, Conklin, Leahy, McBride and Harrington be ing especially mentioned. On last Tuesday evening a number of th lady friends of Mrs J. B. Ryan decided to surprise her, so prepared a nice lunch—no men being available as it was election night—and they done the best they could without the members of the sterner sex, and all report having had an enjoyable time. On departing for home the guests presented Mrs. Ryan with a fine cut glass tray, it being Mrs. Ryan’s wed ding anniversary. A paragraph is going the rounds about a girl dying from tight lacing. An editor commenting on the fact says: Those corsets should be done away with and if the girl can’t live without being squeezed we suppose men could be found who would sac rifice themselves. As old as we are we’d rather devote three hours a day, without a farthing of pay, as a prevet corset, than seeing these girls dying in that manner. Office hours almost any time. Governor Eberhardt, of Minnesota, addressed n good sized audience at the opera house in this city last Friday night on the issues of the day from a republican standpoint. The governor is a very pleasing speaker and held the attention of his audience during his address. It was the best attended meeting of the campaign, many per sons coming several miles for the purpose of listening to the address. He left Saturday morning for Norfolk where he delivered an address shortly after noon and spoke at Fremont the same night. The First National bank installed a new set of fixtures in their bank building this week, which makes that popular banking institution one of the neatest and most attractive banking rooms in this section of the state. The new fixtures are of mahogany, with marble base, the base of the receiving and paying tellers window’s being of Belgium marble. The fixtures are very neat and adds much to the appearance of the banking rooms. Ellen, the H-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Erskine, residing six miles south of Inman, met with a painful accident Saturday afternoon while riding horse back. The horse became frightened and threw her off. Her foot was caught in the stirrup and she was dragged over the sand hills for a considerable distance. When found by members of the family she was picked up and taken to her home unconscious. While no bones were broken her left side and face are frightfully scarred as a result of the accident. Early to bed, early to rise, makes men healthy wealthy and wise. Thus runs the old saw, and there’s more in it, probably, than many of us are willing to admit. Rushing things is all right if not carried too far. But some people in their mad desire to ba£ everything in sight, overdo it. To this class belongs the old lady who went to the stairway and yelled up stairs to a grown daughter: “Sally! Sally! Git up! Git up! Here it is four p’clock Monday morning, tomorrow’s ruesday, next day’s Wednesday half the week’s gone and nothing done iret.” A type writing girl, after a careful observation of the patrons of the pffice, thus expressed her “manly riews:” I get sick of men and their ways. They are messy; they sling paper all over the office and loll about >n the desks and chairs in such un- * iignified attitude. They smoke and :hew. We heve fourteen drummers who come into our office, and only one >f the fourteen have the courtesy to isk me if cigar smoke is offensive to me. Then they are silly; they talk such nonsense as sixteen-year old girls wouldn’t be guilty of. It is all ibout neckties new hats, ballets, good iinners, and so on. If you think man is the supehior animal, you just spend some time in a business office with as sorted sizes of him, and you will see. I am beginning* to believe that a trashy dime novel is better than the socitey of the average man, and squally improving.” ATTENTION FARMERS. Before placing your farm in surance don’t fail to see L.
