County Attorney on the Democratic
and People’s Independent tickets sub
ject to the will of the voters of Holt

Your support is solicited and will

It is reported tht Mrs. W. H. Decker
of Page will probably file for the demo
cratic nomination for county superin
tendent and contest for the nomination
with Miss Miller, who is now serving
her third term.
-o
Rumor has it that Joseph Matousek
of Atkinson will probably file for the
republican nomination for state sena
tor. Mr. Matousek is an old time resi
dent of Atkinson precinct and is well
qualified to make a splendid state
senator.
-o—
Judge Dickson has filed for re
election as judge of this judicial dis
trict, a petition from the several
counties of the district, containing
over 1000 signatures, having been sent
the secretary of state the first of
the week. So far no other candidate
has appeared to contest for the positi
tion with him.
-o
At the meeting of the democratic
state central committee in Omaha last
week J .A. Donohoe of this city was
selected as presidential elector. This
is an honor that the democrats of the
Sixth district has twice conferred upon
O’Neill democrats, M. F. Harrington
having been a presidental elector a
few years ago.
-o
M. G. Miller of Verdigris township
has filed for the republican nomination
for supervisor from the Fourth dis
trct, represented for the past several
terms by Th. D. Sievers. Mr. Miller
is one of the best known and most
prosperous frmers of Verdigris town
ship and well qualified in every way to
make a splendid supervisor.
-o
T. S. Roche of Iowa township has
filed for the democratic nomination
for supervisor from the Second dis
trict, now represented by Henry Tom
linson. Mr. Roach is one o fthe large
land owners of eastern Holt and has
been a resident of the county for over
thirty years. He is a strong man and
if nominated it will take a good live
republican to beat him at the polls
next November.
-o
The many friends of Ed. Porter of
Chambers are urging him to be a
candidate for the republican nomina
tion for county clerk. Mr. Porter has
been a resident of Holt county for
many years and is one of the best
known and most popular residents of
the south country and should he enter
the field and secure the nomination at
the primary would be unbeatable at
the election next November.
Petitions asking that the names of
C. J. Malone of Inman and Thomas
Carlon of this city be placed upon the
non-partisan ballot as candidates for
the nomination for the office of county
judge, have been circulated in this city
the past week. Judge Malone served
six years as county judge and made a
splendid record while in that office.
Judge Carlon is now serving his sec
ond term.
-o
I). M. Stuart, one of the pioneer
residents of Stuart township, has filed
for the republican nomination for
:lerk of the district court. Mr. Stuart
is one of the best known men in the
western part of the county and poses
?es the qualifications that would make
tiim an ideal clerk of the district court.
He served one term as member of the
.’ounty board and was recognized as
me of the most valuable members of
that body. If he secures the nomina
tion we believe there is no question
uut what he will be elected in No
vember.
-o
Eddie Tomsick, who has been an em
ployee of the county treasurer’s office
:he past four years, filed this morning
is a candidate for the republican nomi
lation for county clerk. A petition

ing him in nomination upon that ticket
was also filed and he accepted the
lomination. Eddie is a native of Holt
;ounty, havig first seen the light of
Jay on a farm south of Atkinson and
las been a resident of the county ever
lince. He is a clean young man and if
lominated would make a strong, ag
gressive candidate.

Former O’Neill Girl Proposes.
Kansas City, Kan., Feb. 14: There
was a party at Dolly Pfunder’s home
B47 Oakland avenue. The talk turned
to leap year.
“Any fellow who would turn down a
girl’s leap-year proposal ought to buy
her a silk dress,” said Robert Hanna,
What Brand of
Matches
Do You Use?
Who makes them ?
Are they poisonous or
non-poisonous ?
Are the sticks long and
strong or short and weak ?
Do the heads fly off or do
they stay on ?
Do they burn evenly or
explosively?
If people knew as much
about matches as they
should, they would use
Safe Home Matches made
by the Diamond Match
Company.
Sc. All grocers.
Ask for them by name.

Company
just as if he meant it. Robert is a
clerk in the county treasurer's office.
His father is secretary of the Mercan
tile club.
Dolly dropped to her knees in front
of Robert and said: “Robert, marry
^ _ tf
me.
Everybody, including Dolly, thought
Dolly would get a silk dress.
“You bet, I’ll marry you!” declared
Robert.
Next day Robert obtained a mar
riage license an dwent. to Dolly's home,
but Dolly wouldn’t be seen, and later
word was conveyed to Robert by
friends that she didn’t believe in leap
year proposals and wouldn’t marry
him.
“I believed he’d turn me down and
then I’d see whether he meant what he
said about buying a silk dress,” said
Dolly.
Robert still has the marriage license
which cost $3.
Miss Pfender is a former O’Neill
girl, in fact is a native of this city.'
She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Fred Pfender, who were residents of
this city for many years, where Mr.
Pfender ran a harness shop. After
leaving here the family removed to
Norfolk, where they still reside. Miss
Dolly moved to Kansas City some two
years ago and has been living with a
sister, whose husband is in business in
that city.

How do you like to trade with a man
who jips you out of 5c, 10c and 15c to
$1 every time you go in his store?
Well, you have to like it if you don’t
trade here.
A good joke on one fellow: He paid
$7.85 for a Mackinaw coat and came
around to my store and saw it hanging
out in front—$4.25. He only paid
$3.60 because he didn’t care about
saving the difference.
One fellow bought a 35c broom from
me and a 50c broom from his credit
store. Then he came back and bought
6 brooms from me. He thought I
could not get any more.

When you want credit go to the
banks. Don’t try to get credit from a
store keeper. He takes your accounts
up to the banks and borrows on them.

ness which is growing and that is all
I want. But I wish to say and have
you believe is this: I handle the best
line of Groceries and Dry Goods,
Shoes, Gloves, Automobile Tires, Flour

You see I can sell better goods for less
money on account of selling for cash
only. You don’t pay for groceries the

anyone knocking on my goods

Summary of News.
The repeal of the free-sugar clause
f the Underwood tariff law was de
ided upon Friday by democratic mem
iers of the House Ways and Means
lommittee. After a meeting of the
emocrats, Chairman Kitchin an
lounced that the repeal bill would be
avorably reported by the committee
.'ithin a week and would be laid before
democratic house caucus as soon as
iossible.
President Wilson told the Chamber
>f Commerce of the United States
rhursday night that America needed a
■eal scientific tariff board and he
;hought it was going to get it; that it
reeded a real merchant marine, and
;hat it was absolutely necessary some
reginning be made at once to get that,
too; and that had it not been for the
effectiveness of the federal reserve law
is a business preparedness measure
there was no telling what commencial
disaster woudl have overwhelmed the
United States with the present war.
Of the prospect for keeping the
country at peace, he said that while no
immediate international crisis faced
the nation, “we are merely holding
trouble at arm’s length.”
The United States faces a new and
extremely grave issue with Great
Britain and her allies. This will come
from the announced intention of
Germany and Austria to regard all
armed belligerent merchantmen as
auxiliary warships and to sink them
without warning after March 1. Two
