THE O’NEILL NATIONAL BANK O’Neill, Nebraska This bank carries no indebtedness of officers or stock holders- and vsre are a member of The Federal Reserve Bank. Capital, surplus and undivided profits $100,000.00. Guarding the Long Distance Lines Against the Elements Tirelessly and unceasingly, our maintenance forces guard our long distance lines against storms, fires and other unforeseen destructive forces. Constantly the telephone circuits are watched, tested, kept in order, and in cases of trouble repairmen hurry at once to the scene of the difficulty, regardless of weather conditions. Early every morning tests of all the long dis tance lines are made with delicate electrical ap paratus. With these appliances can be deter mined within a few feet the location of a broken wire, a line loosened at a cross arm, or the branch of a tree hanging across the wires. Any of these will cause trouble. A large force of men is constantly retained - by this Company, stationed a few miles apart, along the toll lines, ready to replace poles dam aged by lightning or other causes, to tighten wires loosened by the wind, to renew broken insulators or make other repairs needed to keep the wires always ready for use. At definite periods during the year overhanging trees are properly trimmed to keep the branches away from the wires. Pole-to-Pole Inspections Made To insure the public against the sudden breaking of poles by wind or sleet storms, car rying down with them perhaps a score of wires, pole-to-pole inspections are made at regular in tervals. Constantly old poles are replaced by new ones where examinations show it to be ad visable. When storms, winds, snow or sleet are pre dicted the conditions affecting each telephone line are watched carefully. If trouble is likely, emergency supplies are prepared, and repair men. testmen, and linemen are rushed by train, auto or buggy to the points of threatened dam age. Carefully, constantly, and unceasingly we guard the long distance lines to provide imme diate and uninterrupted service.

Golden and doughter, Lillian went down to* Sioux City Mondaj morning to attend the Golden-Nugenf wedding, held in that city Tuesdaj morning. What is claimed to have been the first fine ever imposed by a woman in Holt county was imposed upon a gentleman in Police court Tuesday bj Miss Florence McCafferty, Who as the record discloses was acting police judge. The charge was “drunk and disorderly" and her honor very bravely and solemnly said “five and costs” amounting to $9.45. K. A. Pound has moved his stock of Men’s furnishings into his new home, in the old Lindquist & Palmer stand and is meetig his many customers in this larger and more modem stand. The building has been thoroughly re modeled and redecorated and presents one of the largest and nicest store rooms in the city. Mr. Pound has fit ted up the balcony as a rest room for the ladies, the advant&ges of which he invites all the ladies to make use of. Manager Beckhart of the Star Theatre has accepted a position in the orchestra of one of the leading theatres in Chicago where he intends to locate after spending a few days at his old home at Wayne. Mr. Beck hart is a man if considerable talent in the musical and theatrical line and while in our city gave the people of this community the best line of picture shows they have ever en joyed. During the season which he ran the Star Theater he built up a business and patronage which are very much to his credit. Before leav ing, he disposed of his interest in the business to Mr. Hugh Coyne and de parted for the east Tuesday morning. The present management will conduct the business along the lines laid down by Mr. Beckhart and we wish them success. Mr. Thomas Griffin returned Tues day evening from Omaha after several days visit in the metropolis which was attended both by pleasure and profit. Mr. Mike Horiskey, who, out of the goodness of his heart is al ways eager to make things pleasant for the boys when away, notified some " of his own personal friends to call on , Mr. Griffin but somehow the arrange J ments slipped a cog and things looked I rather black among Mr. Horiskey’s friends around the Castle Hotel. How ever, we have no doubt that Mike’s well known conversational gifts will soon dispel the gloom and that the dark clouds will roll by. There was a bank robbery down at University Place last week. Univer sity Place is a small suburb in which the religiously inclined of Lincoln are segregated. The bandit walked into the bank and, directing the business end of a revolver toward its proprietor requested him to step into the bank vault. He locked the official in and then, with several thousand dollars of currency in his possession, escaped. The bank officials when released from • — thp vault only could describe the rob ber in a general way, but did give a very minute description of the gun. He said that it was an exceedingly substantial looking Colt’s of 38 calibre. It is probable that the ar tillery was of 22 calibre, as one is very apt to misjudge the diameter of the main exit of a cannon in the hand of a bandit. ^ Possibly desiring not to be' outdone by other ambitious bachelors, and no doubt with an eye cocked on the de sirable publicity to be secured, T. J. Coyne and P. W. Duffy were sponsers for a “big feed” which was served to several young ladies of the community last Sunday night at the Grand. As a result Mr. Coyne and Mr. Duffy have been the receipent of many and ad miring and affectionate glances from the ladies, while the young men, who were so unfortunate as to have their special friends attend the party, register envy and scorn. The eighteen month old son of Dr. J. R. Beatty and Mrs. Beatty of Butte narrowly escaped death from mor phine poisoning Thursday of last week. The baby found two small vials of morphine tablets in the pocket of the doctor and removing the cork from one took a number of the tablets. Prompt action by Dr. Beatty and other Butte physicians saved the child’s life.

A WOMAN’S BACK The Advice of This O’Neill Woman is of Certain Value. Many a woman’s back has many aches and pains. Oftimes ’tis the kidneys’ fault. That’s why Doan’s Kidney Pills are so effective. Many O’Neill women know this. Read what one has to say about it: Mrs. L. E. Grass, O’Neill, says: “Doan’s Kidney Pills are a fine medi cine. I have kept my kidneys in good condition by using them, whenever they have become disordered. Be fore I tried Doan’s Kidney Pills I had frequent attacks of the trouble. Then I suffered from a dragging ache in my back, felt weak and tired out and my kidneys acted irregularly. Doan’s Kidney Pills relieved me and I have kept them on hand since.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Grass had.
