He said that the only two bridges that were left intact were the two state aid bridges that were built between that county and Rock.

While walk ing up Fourth street from the post oftice the wind suddenly raised and took a sign, which was standing at the corner of the Nebraska State bank building, into the air and the sign struck Mr. Cameron on the forehead and knocked him to the walk un conscious. He was picked up and taken to a physicians office and then home. He received a very hard blow on the head and was unconscious about all night, in fact did notcome rightly to himself for about four days. We understand he was sitting up today and will probably be all right in a few days. The sign on the street is now securely fastened.

A week ago a l notice was inserted in The Frontier D calling a meeting of the O’Neillites ’ who were interested in the golf club ’ for the Golden Hotel Thursday evening. ' The prospective members were urged 5 to attend and bring a few ideas with J them. They attended and also brought t along ideas and the result was one of the most interesting meetings that has f been held in this city for a good many r days. The great scrap came upon the 3 adoption of the constitution and by 5 Jaw’s for the organization; the main e scrap hinging upon the question as tc r who should be compelled to pay dues H and membership fees; whether the members of the fair sex would be per i. mitted to en joy the benefits of the elut s grounds without the necessity of join. ? ing the club and paying monthly dues e or whether they should be taxed foi their membership. The line up on th< question showed the married mei favoring the payment of dues by al who wished to join the club, the fee: for the ladies being half that to b< paid by the men; while the single met were “strong” for the ladies and thej wished them to be permitted the us< of the grounds without fee or price Several strong arguments were put up by the young fellows in support ol their position, but there were too manj married men present and the young folks were defeated and the regulations as adopted provide that ladies as wel as men wilr have to pay membership rees and dues. Judging from th( meeting the chances are thai at the next regular meeting the rule will be amended so as to allow the ladies the use of the grounds with out the necessity of paying member ship fees or dues. "The lted Circle.” Will be shown Tuesday night as usual. STAR ELECTRIC THEATRE “At the Sign of the Star.” For Sale.
