Weekly Weather Forecast.
For week beginning Wednesday,
August 25. Cool and fair weather for

To The Public.
We would like to announce the
closing of the season for our super
vised play ground. It has been a suc
cess in every way. The children have
learned some new and healthy games
and have some safe and sane play
ground apparatus for amusement.
Our teacher was just the finest for
handling both boys and girls, and
teaching them how to play together.
Besides their play, they have or
ganized a bird club and are studying
the birds of Nebraska. We wish to
thank all who donated towards the
fund for expenses, also those who
donated work. Especially would we
thank our benefactor, Mr. Biglin, for
his generosity in furnishing us the
“Slippery Slide,” one of the best and
largest of its kind,, given without
solicitation. Your committee have
met all obligations and are left with a
small surplus on hand. Please re
member the children are not expected
on the play ground after this notice,
because we have no teacher to
supervise their play and we are
afraid of accidents.
Yourst truly,
SUSAN B. LONGSTAFF,
For Committee.
Odd Fellows Grand Lodge Session.
O’Neill has the honor of having en
tertained a special session of the
Grand Lodge I. O. O. F. of Nebraska.
Notwithstanding the inclemency of the
weather last Wednesday there was
about 400 visitors in attendance at
the session, Orchard and Bassett send
ing the largest delegations. Or
chard with a delegation of eighty-six
and Bassett with their fine band and
about fifty delegates.
The Grand Lodge officers present
were as follows: J. C. Harnish, Grand
Master, O’Neill; Sam K. Greenlief,
Deputy Grand Master, Omaha; I. P.
3age, Grand Secretary, Fremont; Luke
Gage, Deputy Grand Secretary, Fre
mont; Charles Johnson, Grand Mar
shal, Fremont; Rev. George F. Mead,
Grand Chaplain, Silver Creek.
Music was furnished by the O’Neill
and Bassett bands. The Basset band
gave a concert of high quality music
in the K. C. hall just prior to the
opening of the afternoon session.
At 3:30 p. m. the public meeting
was called to order by Grand Master
J. C. Harnish. Mr. Harnish in in
troducing Mayor F. J. Dishner com
mended his administration as mayor
of the city and called attention to the
fact that he was “making good” and
accomplishing more in the way of
civic improvement than any mayor the
city has had for a number of years.
Mayor Dishner spoke briefly and in a
few well chosen remarks made the
visitors feel that the glad hand of
hospitality of the citizens of O’Neill
was extended to the Odd Fellows.

dress of welcome, was not in attend
ance, and Grand Master Harnish
called on S. J. Weekes for the response
which Mr. Weekes made in a few well
chosen words.
John Frank Poucher held the atten
tion for over one hour of the audience
that completely filled the K. C. Opera
House, with a scholarly address on
Odd Fellowship. Mr. Poucher spoke
most entertainingly about the objects
of the order, pointing out that it is
purely fraternal, and showing that
there is nothing in the obligations of
the order that in any way interfere
with the religious or political belief
of any individual.
The afternoon session was concluded
with a prayer by Grand Chaplain Rev.
George F. Mead, after which a parade,
headed by the Basset band, in which
about 250 members of the order
marched through the principal streets
Supper was served at the hall at
6:30 by Mrs. F. C. Gatz, assisted by
the ladies of the Rebecca Lodge.
At 7:30 the Grand Lodge session
convened and the Past Grand degree
was conferred on about forty candi
dates. A session of the subordinate
lodge was then held and the first de
gree conferred upon a candidate by
a degree team from the Basset lodge.
A midnight luncheon and smoker
was served in the hall and participated
in by most of the members until
nearly daylight Thursday morning.
Many delegates who have attended
similar gatherings were heard to say
that this was one- of the most suc
cessful they had ever attended, and
were loud in their praise of the hos
pitality shown them by the local Odd
Fellows and the citizens of O’Neill in
general.

We saved one man $1.20 on a $3.00 bill of repairs for
his hay rake. This $1.20 will pay interest on $24.00 for 6
months. Don’t you think it would pay you to go to the
bank and borrow a little money instead of buying your
goods on time. We are selling the Columbia No. 6 Igniter
for 25c each; the best dry battery made. Don’t forget our
auto tire prices: $7.75 for Ford front tires; $10.10 for
Ford rear tires. No better tires made at any pice. We
sell the Stewart $5.00 auto horn at $3.85. Say, man, if you
trade with us you will have to get a wagon to haul your
