O’Neill citizens and business houses
generally are keeping pace with the
larger and more wealthy centers of
population in subscribing to Uncle
Sam’s war loan. Approximately $75,
000 in Liberty bonds and treasurer’s
certificates have been subscribed for
by O’Neill people and business houses.
The largest individual bond thus far
taken goes to T. F. Birmingham, who
has made application for a $5,000 one.
The bonds range in denomination from
v50 lo $100,000. The'O’Neiil National
Bank has $10,000 fn treasurers cer
tificate and $15,000 in bonds, part of
which will be subscribed for by their
clientele and part of which they will
retain for themselves. The First
National has $50,000 worth of bonds
and certificates*for themselves and
their customers. The Nebraska State
Bank, has, as yet, no bonds on hand,
but will have some shortly according
to Cashier James F. O'Donnell. Ac
cording to the bankers the people here
have shown every willingness to sub
scribe to the loan and all the banks
have secured bonds for many of theii
customers. The bonds pay three and
one-half per cent interest, are exemp!
from all taxation and are considerec
a good investment.
O’Neill High School Graduates.
The graduating exercises of th<
O’Neill high school were held at th<
K. of C. hall on last Thursday evening
twenty-one students, youthful, ex
pectant and ambitious receiving theii
diplomas from the hands of T. F
Birmingham, president of the board o
education. The evening was a ver;
fair one and a large crowd was in at
tendence at the exercises.
The program opened at eight-thirt;
and consisted of music, singing an<
speaking by the students assisted b;
Miss Margaret Donohoe, and th
Powell orchestra.
H. J. Boyle delivered the addres
of the evening and admonishei
his hearers to develop character am
avoid lofty and dangerous ambition:
citing Napoleon as an example of am
bition that mounted to dangerou
heights, sacrificing as it did thousand
of human lives without accomplishini
anything of permanent value ether t
himself or to the world.
Mr. Birmingham, before giving ou
the diplomas, advised the graduates t
be honest and industrious and succes
would be sure to follow.
Those to receive diplomas were:
Blanche Baker, Charles A. Cronir
Dee D. Snyder, Edward Davidsor
Elizabeth Gribble, Elizabeth Mitchel
Francis N. Cronin, Francis E. Martir
Grace Killinger, Helen Spindler, Joh
P. Gilligan, Joyce Bressler, Lysl
Curtis, Mary Penderghast, Netti
Cromwell, Roland Frost, Ruth Mui
nan, Ruth Simonson, Susan Widtfeld
Virgie Cromwell, Vanina Dartt.
James A. Donohoe Thrills Audience.
James A. Donohoe, in addressing a
meeting of our citizens at the K.. of
C. Hall on last Wednesday afternoon,
called for the purpose of froming a
local branch of the American Red
Cross, made what is considered the
most touching and inspiring talk ever
delivered in this city on an occasion of
this kind in appealing to our citizens
to join this organization and im
pressing upon them the serousness of
the situation now facing this govern
ment. No one was there who
failed to gain inspiration from this
address or whom at its conclusion did
not feel a deeper reverence for the flag,
with a keener insight into what it
really means and what it really stands
for. No one was there, we think, who
upon leaving the hall did not feel that
they should bend every effort to do all
they dould, however humble that might
be, and who did not believe that any
sacrifices they might make would be
small enough indeed as compared with
the hardships that many who will be
called to the colors will bo forced to
bear. It was indeed regretable than
many left the hall at the conclusion of
the other exercises not knowing that
Mr. Donohoe wes about to address a
meeting to follow immediately.
Owing to the failure of expected
literature, application blanks and but
tons to arrive the formation of a per
menant organization was necessarily
postponed until next Tuesday, when,
immediately following the patriotic
exercises that are scheduled for that
day, a permanent -organization will be
formed. Dr. E. T. Wilson, who pre
sided as chariman, has appointed a
committee who will solicit member
ships in the interm between now and
Tuesday.
Patriotic Celebration Next Tuesday.
In keeping with the proclamation of
President Wilson, Governor Neville
and Mayor Whelan O’Neill people and
business houses will observe Registra
tion Day, which is next Tuesday, with
a patriotic celebration during which
all business houses in the city will
close. A patriotic parade, in which
all men, women and children are asked
to take part, will form at the Court
house at two-thirty in the afternoon
after which they will be taken in
charge by E. H. Whelan, marshal of
the day. The ^O’Neill Cornet Band
and a fife and drum corps will lead
the parade, the exact route of which
has not as yet been decided upon,
but will terminate at the Ki of C.
hall where Frank S. Howell, former
district attorney and an illustrious
orator, famed throughout the west for
his doctrine on Americanism, will de
liver an address. Immediately follow
ing this there will be a meeting of
citizens for the permanent formation
of a local council of the American Red
Cross. The program in detail to be
rendered at the Hall follows:
Solo.“America, Here’s My Boy”
Margaret Donohoe
Reading .Helen Harrington
Solo—“The Finest Flag That Flies”
Mary Fitzsimmons
Reading—“Soldier of the Empire”
Mae Hammond
Address .Frank S. Howell
Song—“America” ... By the Audience
Decoration Day Properly Observed.
In spite of the disagreeable, raining :
weather the Decoration exercises at
the K. of C ha’l on last Wednesday
were well attended. The old veterans..
whose numbers are growing fewer!
every year, were seated upon the stage 1
around whom were hung several
American flags, and to the rear of
whom hung a picture of our president.
Little tots in white dresses spoke
patriotic pieces and sang patriotic
songs. Rev. Claude R. Parkerson de
livered the address of the afterm
He spoke of war and its causes and of
the causes of the different American
wars saying that if America was ever
right she was surely right in the war
she was now entering.
Owing to the inclemency of the
weather it was decided to postpone
visiting the graves of the deceased
veterans until next Tuesday afternoon.
The flag raising that the old soldiers
were to witness upon the new flag pole
on the campus of St. Mary’s Academy,
has also been postponed until next
Tuesday afternoon.
