Sup porters of suffrage were hopeful that it would carry as they had enlisted the active support of the president in their cause. The leaders of the movement take their defeat philo sophically however, saying they did not lose, as they had nothing to lose, and intend to keep on fighting. -o Judge Cornish and former senator E. J. Burkett, both of Lincoln, are said to be seriously considering entering the race for the republican nomination for United States senator. Judge Cornish is strong in Lancaster county but is not known in the state at large. Should he enter the race the progres sive republican vote of that section of the state would be divided with C. H. Aldrich with the chances that neither of them would land the nomination. Burkett was defeated by about 20,000 by Senator Hitchcock six years ago and we do not think he has grown stronger with the voters since that time. In fact we do not think he could even start to “come back.’’ -o Attorney General Willis Reed is one of the greatest grand-stand players in this state. Willis has a longing to be United States senator that can not be crushed and in view of boom ing his candidacy two years hence, has decided to begin an enforcement of the state anti-treat law that has re mained a dead letter since its enact ment years ago. The enforcement of this law would probably now be wel comed by the liquor dealers of the state as an antidote for prohibition and the prohibitionists would also probably welcome the move. Thus Willis would secure the support of both the wet and dry factions and he believes such a coalition would land him in the coveted position two years hence. -y The editors of Northeast Nebraska held a meeting at Norfolk last Friday and Saturday and organized the Northeast Nebraska Editorial As sociation.

Hugh O’Neill Reminiscent. Hugh O’Neill the sage of Anncar, was in town last Friday. In a chat with the editor Hugh became remi niscent and spoke of the great snow storm that struck this country on October 14, 1880. We remember the storm could not place the date, but Hugh is always long on dates. On the morning of October 15, 1880, the few people living in this county awoke to find the ground covered to a depth of about fourteen inches with snow. As nearly all the great potato crop of that year was still in the ground the people were greatly alarmed, for food was not as plentiful in them days as it is at the present time. Most of the snow, however, went off in a few days and the farmers were able to get their potatoes out, but the snow remained off the ground but a few days when it again fell in large quantities and re mained on the ground until near the middle of the following April. That was the hardest winter ever known in this section and thousands of head of cattle died of starvation during the long dreary winter of 1880-1881, and many ranchmen, who were in fairly comfortable circumstances were re duced to poverty. The few farmers living in this vicinity that had com sold it at $1.25 and $1.50 per bushel to stockmen living in the south country, but there was not sufficient of it that could be obtained to save the live stock industry of the county. Hugh says that if he lives two centuries he will never forget the winter of ’80-81 and the hardships endured by the people of this county during that memorable winter. Hog Prices Tumbling. The hog market has been “shot to pieces the past two days. Sensa tional breaking of 35 to 60 cents on the 100 weight took place Thursday in the value of hogs on the Chicago market. As quotations Wednesday showed a drop of 40 to 50 cents under the prev ious day’s average, the smash in prices Thursday ranged from 75c @$1 per 100 pounds, as compared with 48 hours before. According to Edward A. LaBart, an official of Morris & Co., of Chicago, the extraordinary drop in values is largely the result of interference of Great Britain with the commerce of the United States with neutral European countries such as Denmark, Holland and Sweden. Although the over suply of hogs and the unusual crop conditions have cut considerabls figure. Mr. LaBort said: “The fact was pointed out several weeks ago by the American packers that unless some action was taken by the United States the livestock busi ness of this country would in a large measure go to ruin. Trade which found an outlet to neutral countries has been backing up in the United States and, apparently, if conditions are not radic ally changed, must continue to do so. The breaks in prices are only a fore runner of what can naturally be ex pected.” Obituary. Mrs. R. A. Haskins (nee Dorothy Davidsoin) died at a hospital in Eagle Grove, Iowa, last Sunday of sept semeia, resulting from an operation for appendicitis. The remains were shipped to this city Monday, arriving Monday evening and the funeral was held Tuesday afternoon, interment in the Protestant cemetary. Deceased was the daughter of Mrs. O. E. Davidson of this city and was born in O’Neill thirty-two years ago. She learned the printing trade here and left O’Neill some seven years ago and established a newspaper in Tripp county, which she successfully conduct ed for a few years. It was while engaged in the newspaper business that she met her future husband and they were married at Winner, S. D., in November, 1910. Shortly after their marriage they moved to Goldfield, Iowa, where they operated a moving picture show.

D., a brother of the deceased; Mrs. George Monk of Dodge county, Neb., sister, and Sam Hilligas and John Hilligas of Central City, Neb., uncle and cousin of the deceased were present at the funeral. Uttley Cases Reversed. Two of the cases of H. M. Uttley and M. T. Hiatt against the members of the County Board of Supervisors, that were dismissed by Judge Dick son in district court here last Febru ary and appealed to the supreme court have been reversed by that court and remanded with instructions. These were the cases in which they sought to collect penalties from the ounty board for not making out salary claims according to law, and also for the recovery of some $3,000 alleged to have been paid by the county board to the precinct assessors for the year 1914, illegally and for the removal from office of three members of the board. Uttley , and Hiatt made the county a plaintiff in this action and when the case came before the district court the county attorney filed a motion to dismiss the action, alleging that the county had no inter est in the matter and that the county attorney was the proper person to bring an action, if one was brought. It was argued out on this point and the court sustained the contention of the county attorney and dismissed the action. The case was then appealed to the supreme court by Uttley and Hiatt. The supreme court reverses this dismissal with instructions to permit BLANKETS Wool Blankets at very low cost to you. Cotton Blankets in all sizes and colors.

' — i Uttley and Hiatt to amend the title of the case and make the county a party defendant, if they so desire. If this amendment is not made within a reas onable time the district court is in structed to dismiss the case at the cost of plaintiffs. The case stands now practically as if it had never been before the court. Mr. Hiatt and Mr. Uttley can amend their petition and make the county a defendant, if they so desire, and have the case tried on its merits. The supreme court sustained the contention of the county attorney and the county was eliminated as a plaintiff in the action, but they can made it one of the defendants to the action, if they so wjsh.
