Jordan and Horst and the sports that had their money on the race were sorry that the accident prevented them from finding out which was the fastest car. Former County Treasurer J. P. Mullen, who has retired from active life on the farm and is now living in Emmet, was one of the most ardent fans on the grounds. He rejoiced in Emmet’s victories and felt sorrowful when things looked as if the breaks were going against them. Cy Forsythe, who played center field for Emmet during the Fair, is a member of the Omaha Western League team and third best batter in the Western League. He secured but one hit in the four games here, so it is evident there was a classy article of pitching put up against the Emmet boys in the four games. Three happier men than William Cuddy, Arthur Wilson and Guy Cole, manager, captain and general booster for the Emmet base ball team, could not be found in the county last Friday night. But the boys deserved to feel good. They spent their good money to get a ball team together to go after the coin and they succeeded. Some of the best racing seen on the O’Neill track in years was pulled off Thursday and Friday. One race Thursday and one Friday it took five heats to decide the winner, and the drivers were driving all the time. It was near six o’clock when the last heat was pulled off and there were very many spectators on the ground to wit- 1 ness it. George Gaughenbaugh is feeling extra good since the fair. The first prize on bread was won by Mrs. Lewis Thomas and the bread was made with “Our Own” flour manufactured by the ; O’Neill Roller MillB. The bread that won second prize was made from • Neligh flour. This speaks well for the quality of flour turned out by the local * mills and George has reason to feel ; good. Howard Miller of Battle Creek was one of the interested spectators at the ( games Friday and Saturday. When ( business cares becomes depressing ( Howard takes his Battle Creek ball ( team on the road and trims up the ( neighboring towns. He is a good judge of ball players and said that , Gene Leahy looked about as good as ' any of the players he had seen in ( action. Several of the Emmet boys won con' ! siderable money backing their base : ball team. They deserved it. They had ’ the ball team and were not afraid to 1 put up their money to back them. Young Horst of Elgin, whose auto mobile upset in the race at the Fair 1 last Friday, says that he is through ' with the racing game. He figures that i The Racket Store Hair Net.. ..;. 5c.

The real excitement of Friday was given to the people in the automobile race. Horst tried to pass Joel Parker on a turn. The track is narrow and very rough on the outside and trying to pass Horst was forced onto the rough ground and lost control of his car. It crashed through the fence, turned over two and a half times and stopped bottom side up. The occu pants of the car were severely bruised and shaken up but their injuries are not serious. The car was badly dam aged. Near the fence a driving team belonging to an O’Neill man was hitched. When the horse saw the yellow car coming through the air it evidently concluded its time had come and promptly turned over and died. People who own horses with heart trouble should keep them away from automobile races. Weekly Weather Forecast. For the week beginning Wednesday, September 29: Generally fair and moderately cool weather will prevail through the greater part of the week, except that local rains are probable at the beginning of the week in the ex treme Upper Mississippi Valley. Seeks to Prosecute Kleintobe. Neligh Semi-Weekly News: R. S. Tweed living fourteen miles west of Orchard in Holt county, was here this week consulting County Attorney Jackson in reference to the marriage of his fifteen-year-old daughter who was married here last week by County Judge Ingram to John B. Kleintobe. The parent was very much incensed over the event and sought to prosecute Kleintobe on the charge of kidnapping and said the girl was overtaken whilu on her way to school by Kleintobe in an auto and was induced to accompany him to Neilgh to be married. After hearing all the particulars Attorney Jackson informed Tweed that if a crime had been committed it was on Holt county soil and the action should be brought there. He was much in doubt as to whether a crime had been committed as the girl was willing to go and when asked by the county judge if there were any objections to the marriage, both replied that there were not. The parents of the girl are very much incensed over the occur ence and the father went to O’Neill to see what could be done in Holt county After the ceremony had been per formed September 15th, the couple went to Norfolk and are now living at Orchard. m'UCAaii i/ipu ivi> uicviui k* On Tuesday morning, September 21, 1915, the 13th annual meeting of the Rebekah lodges of District No. 29 was convened in the I. 0. O. F. hall at Til den, Nebraska. After the opening ex ercises, the visitors were welcomed by Burnett lodge in a very cordial and ap propriate address given by Mrs. Maude Davis. The response was made by Miss Olney of Atkinson. The pre siding officers were: Mrs. Clara B. Miles, O’Neill, president; Mrs. Carrie Harlow, Meadow Grove,vice-president; Mrs. Minnie Downey, O’Neill, secre tary; and Mrs. Josie Chittenden, Madison, warden. The treasurer, Ethel Palme of Norfolk, was unable to be present because of illness. After the reading of the minutes of the last meeting, held at Madison, Sep tember 22, 1914, and the reading and disposition of communications, the committee on resolutions, and the auditing committee were appointed. The officers elected for the coming year are: Mrs. Carrie Harlow. Meadow Grove, president; Mrs. Josie Chittenden, Madison, vice-president; May Dowe, Meadow Grove, secretary; Mrs. Mary Kingery, Tilden, warden; Mrs. Alys Sweet, Oakdale, treasurer. The next annual meeting was invited to be held at Atkinson, and the in vitation was accepted. The afternoon session opened at one o’clock. In the reports from the lodges were some very encouraging ones, and all reports gave evidence of interest “IS MY BANK COURTEOUS" One of the greatest factors in tho banking world is courtesy. All of the officers and employes of this Bank en-j deavor to treat you with the utmost j courtesy. We always have time to be j polite.

The initiatory work was exemplified by s» staff chosen from the various lodges present. The memorial service, con ducted by Burnett lodge, was rendered in a way that made it especiallj beautiful and impressive. The school of instruction took up a considerable portion of the afternoon and was conducted by Past President Elsie Buchta, and was enjoyed by all who heard her. Her very presence and personality did much to make the meeting a success in every way. Musical numbers were given by Mrs. C. B. Scott of O'Neill and Miss Vina Lytle of Tilden. Everyone enjoyed them. O’Neill installed the new officers in a very efficient manner. Several sisters who were ill, some of them in the hos pital at Tilden, were remembered with flowers, also the treasurer of the dis trict, Ethel Palme, Norfolk, whose ill ness prevented her coming* to the meeting. The hall was beautifully decorated with autumn flowers. After a supper, tendered the visit- ; ing members by the ladies of Burnett lodge, the visitors departed, declaring the meeting enjoyable and successful 1 in every way, and hoping that all might meet again at Atkinson in 1916. *** _ s To the Public. “I feel that I owe the manufacturers of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy a word of grati tude,” writes Mrs. T. N. Witherall, Gowanda, N. Y. “When I began tak ing this medicine I was in great pain and feeling terribly sick, due to an ^ attack of summer complaint.

It is certainly surprising that any * woman will endure the miserable ( feelings caused by billiousness and constipation, when relief is so easily had and at so little expense. Mrs. Chas.
