There is a good many things O’Neill
needs like
Hospitals, Brohers’ Schools, Public
Swimming Pools, Play
Grounds, Parks,
etc. There is a good deal of fixing to
be done around the
Churches, Parsonages, Cemeteries,
etc. The bigger and better the town
is fixed up the better prices the land
and lots will bring. I am willing to
do double my share. The Postofflce
, and Express office records show there
is
$145,000 a Year
) goes out of O’Neill to other towns for
! groceries, dry goods, shoes, clothing.
Which is hardly ever used when they
come back. The money is generally
wasted. The National Cloak and
Suit Co. take out of O’Neill over $75,.
000, which would make good business
here for
j! 3 Good Stores,
ii This money that is sent away is a
dead loss because the cheap .junk that
!; is sent back in return could be bought
in O’Neill at half the price. But to
show you that
I I Am a Sport.
Every time John M. Smith, Sears
I Roebuck, Montgomery Ward & Co.,
National Cloak & Suit Co., give 1$ to
any public benefit
I Will Give $2.
if I have some town lots,etc.,and 1 am
■E interested here and I want to see
| O’Neill grow and I want to double my
share
1 $2 to $1.
I am figuring on sending out one or
two old grecery men, who have been
taking orders for Williams & Murphy
! in Chicago for years in this territory.
Some people are bound they want to
buy from peddlers. Now these men
will drive to your place the same as
always and give you Williams &
c Murphy's Wholesale prices. You pay
the freight from Chicago to O’Neill.
If you don’t want to wait for the
goods to come from Chicago you can
l meet these salesmen at my store here
on Saturdays. They can pick the
goods out of stock and figure the
freight and you can take the goods
home with you.
The reason the little kids around
town have so much money is when
their mothers give them 15 or 25 cents
and send them to the credit stores to

Stanton-Hickey.
A very pretty wedding took place
on Saturday morning, June 3rd, at St.
Patrick’s Church when Miss Anna E.
Hickey became the bride of Mr.
Martin F. Stanton, Very Rev. M. F.
Cassidy officiatin.g Both of the young
people are well and favorably known
here, the groom who is a son of Mr.
and Mrs. Henry Stanton, having been
raised in Holt County, while the bradc
who is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
John Hickey, was born at West Point,
but came to this community about
seven years ago with her parents who
own a large farm two miles north
west of town.
The morning was most delightful
for such an occasion and at the hour
of six Very Rev. Dean Cassidy with
his acolytes Masters Anselm and
Vincent Whelan, (the bride’s cousins)
stood upon the altar. The bridal party
led by little Claire Whelan as ring
bearer, proceeded up the aisle to the
strains of the wedding march from
Lohenlyin played by Miss Mamie
Cullen.
The bride was attired in a beautiful
gown of pussy willow taffeta with
shadow lace and wore a veil and
wreath of orange blossoms, while she
carried an arm bouquet of bride’s
roses. She was attended by her
sister, Miss Loretta Hickey, who wore
a gown of white silk and carried a
bouquet of Killarney roses. Mr.
Anthony Stanton, brother of the groom
acted as best man.
Dean Cassidy celebrated a Nuptial
Mass at which the young couple re
ceived Holy Communion.
Immediately after the ceremony the
wedding party, together with the in
vited guests to the number of seventy
five, motored to the home of the
bride’s parents where a sumptuous
five course breakfast was served. The
newly wedded pair left for Chicago
and other eastern points and will be
at home at the Stanton farm after
July 15th.
The young couple were the re
cipients of many beautiful and
valuable gifts. ***
Samuel Beavers.
Samuel Beavers was born in Ma
honing County, Ohio, March 20, 1838,
and died at his home in O’Neill, Ne
braska, Thursday, June 6, 1916, at the
ripe old age of 78 years two months,
and sixteen days.
His father moved with his family
to Jackson County, Indiana, a short
time before the war and when Presi
dent Lincoln issued his call for volun
teers he enlisted in Company H. 50th
Indiana Volunteer Infantry and served
until the close of the war, when he
was honorably discharged. He was
wounded and taken prisoner and lay
in prison at Tyler, Texas, for ten
months. In 1867 he was married to
Margaret Fitch in Minnesota and to

three of whom are stil living, viz: J.
F. Beavers, of East Lake, Minn.,
J. H. Shaw, of Gregory, S. D.; and
Mrs. W. H. Dartt, of Wall, S. D.
In 1881 his wife died at Malvern,
Iowa, and on Jan. 11, 1883, he was
married to Harriett Dowden who
survives him.

Nebraska, and settled on a homestead
fifteen miles northeast of O’Neill and
passed through all the hardships of
those pioneer days. In 1899 he dis
posed of the farm and moved to O’Neill
where he has since lived. His two
daughters were with him during his
last sickness and at the time of his
death.

neighbors who so kindly assisted and
sympathized with us in our bereave
ment.

Billious Attacks.
When you have a bilious attack your
liver fails to perform its functions.
You become constipated. The food
you eat ferments in your stomach in
stead of digesting. This inflames the
stomach and causes nausea, vomiting
and a terrible headache. Take Cham
berlain’s Tablets. They will tone up
your liver, clean out your stomach and
you will soon be as well as ever. They
only cost a quarter. Obtainable
everywhere. 51-5
Nick White Passes Away.
Nicholas White died at his home in
Omaha last Tuesday after a very brief
illness. The remains were shipped to
this city and interred in the Catholic
cemetery this morning, at the side of
his wife who died on July 20, 1910.
Deceased was born in Jackson,
Michigan, on November 16, 1854, be
ing a little over 61 years of age at the
time of his death. In 1870 he moved
to Fremont, in Dodge county, where he
resided until his removal to this
county in the spring of 1883. In the
spring of 1913 he moved to Omaha
where he made his home up to the
time of his death. On December 2,
1885, he was united in marriage to
Miss Catherine McDonald, who was a
resident of the Parker country, north
east of this city. Four children were
born to bless the union, three girls and
one boy. The children are: Nora and
Ethel of Omaha; Mrs. W. S. Holz of
Fremont and Thomas, who lives upon
the old home place near Dorsey.
Nick White was one of the most
lovable men who ever lived in this
county. Quiet and unassuming! jhe
was the soul of honor and would go
out of his way any day to do a favor
for a friend. He was a resident of
this county for over thirty years and
no man had more friends than he and
no man passed to the great beyond in
years that brought such grief to the
people of this county. In his passing
one of nature’s noblemen has gone but
his memory will forever be cherished
in the hearts of hundreds of his
friends.
He was sick but a few days, death
being caused by pneumonia. The fol
lowing out of town people were
present at the funeral: James White,
Fremont, Neb.; Mrs. McCann, Omaha;
Michael Miller, Fremont; Rev. Father
Buckley, Omaha; Thomas, Joseph and
Mr. and Mrs. Hugh McDonald, of
Greeley Center; Mr. and Mrs. W. S.
Holz, Fremont, and Mark Holz of
North Dakota.
The Frontier joins the many Holt
county friends of the family in
tendering its sympathy in their hour
of trial.
Card of Thanks.
To the many old friends and former
neighbors who assisted at the funeral
of our beloved father we desire to ex
press our heartfelt thanks and to as
sure you that your kindness and words
of sympathy will be forever cherished.
The White Family.
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy.
This is a remedy that every family
should be provided with, and especially
during the summer months. Think of
the pain and suffering that must be
endured when medicine must be sent
for before relief can be obtained.
This remedy is thoroughly reliable.
Ask anyone who has used it. Obtain

NEBRASKA FARM PRODUCTION.
A short time ago one of our sister states startled the world by stating that
“the value of crop production and live stock on thehr farm for the year 1915
averaged $3,660 per farm.” Many readers misunderstood the statement and
took it to be “per capita” instead of “per farm” as stated, and considerable
discussion ensued.
It is nothing new for Nebraska to “stand in the clear” by comparison
agriculturally, se here are the figures as prepared by the secretary of the
State Board of Agriculture:
