Sam Arnold has just completed the installation of a dry cleaning outfit in addition to Jhia plant which is as throoughly modern as is possible to get.

The plant represents an investment of $1,600, is located in an especially constructed brick build ing, and is a valuable addition to Mr. Arnold’s growing industries. Lottie McNichols returned Sunday evening from Omaha where she had been for the past ten days with her brother, Walt, who is in a hospital there suffering from blood poisoning. The accident happened in O’Neill when Walt, opening a bottle of pop, broke the neck in some way and cut his hand. Blood poisoning set in and he was taken to the hospital where Lot tie says he is gettiing along first rate although still in a very serious condition. The many uses to which a Ford may be put was aptly illustrated the Fourth when Jim Ryan, the popular hay and horse man, drove out to his ranch west of the city, returning with a Shetland pony in the tonneau. Mr. Ryan’s son, Clement, had the pony entered in the parade and Mr. Ryan did not get around to get him until the morning of the Fourth and not wanting to dissapoint the boy he drove out loaded the horse into the car and brought him in. June. The month of rare days, brides and roses has passed. And while the rare days and the roses may have been scarce the brides were quite plentiful. The fact that the country is at war had but little effect upon the lovelorn. County Judge Malone issued twenty marriage licenses in June. Of these he tied the knot that forever united three of these couple. The field is still crowded with eligibles, both men and women, and plenty of both sexes over the draft age, so it is fair to presume that the marriage records should not show any depreciable fall ing off. William Hart, for years a resident of Inman, but for the past six years located at Long Beach, California, ar rived in the city the latter part of last week for a short visit with old friends. Mr. Hart, certain that he did not wish to remain in Holt county, purchased round trip tickets upon leaving California, but after arriving here decided the old county was a pretty good place to stay and is now loath to leave. Holt county citizens generally hope that Mr. Hart will make up his mind to again make his home with us. He is accompanied by his wife and daughter. This vicinity was visited by a severe electrical storm and shower early this morning. Lightning struck a tree in the yard of P. D. Mullen’s residence but done no other damage in the city as far as could be learned. The barn on the Con J. Kelley place, northeast of town was also struck by lightening and with other outbuildings burned to the ground. Some calves were burned in the barn. We were unable to learn whether anything else was destroyed or not. P. C. Kelley was quite badly burned about the face and arms in an attempt to save the calves. Billy Roberts lost a fine horse by the light ening. The horse stood in the pasture forty rods from any fence when struck. Plainview News: The Fitz-Ham Don Concert Co., of O’Neill, held forth at the Bijou theatre Thursday night, rendering a program that was ap preciated by the large audience present. Each member of this company possesses remarkably well trained voices and every number given was roundly encored. On Fri day evening the company kindly con sented to remain over and put on a Red Cross benefit, all of which was donated excepting the necessary ex penses, and another good sized crowd was in attendance. The News likes to speak a good word for traveling or ganizations making a stop in Plain view, when they are worthy, and the Fitz-Ham-Don Company can be highly recommended to any town they visit in the state. Death of Mrs. John Donohoe. Mrs. John Donohoe died at her home in this city last Thursday evening at 8:30, after an illness of several months, at the age of 76 years. Mary Biggins was born in Kilmar mock, Scotland, in 1850. At the age of seventeen years she was united in marriage to John Donohoe and four years later came to America, the land of opportunity, and settled in Pennsyl vania. Mr. Donohoe had a longing for the freedom of the west and in the spring of 1877 he came to this county and settled on a farm, about six miles north of this city, where the family resided for years, until the death of Mr. Donohoe several years ago, when Mrs. Donohoe and daughters moved to this city, where deceased has since resided. Mr. and Mrs. Donohoe were the parents of nine children: John, Thomas, Mrs. George McCloud, i-imes, Patrick, and the Misses Margaret and Elizabeth of this city, and Hugh, of Seattle, Washington, and Eugene of Detroit, Michigan. All of the children were present at the funeral except Hugh, who could not reach here in time. In the death of Mrs. Donohoe another of the old pioneers if this city and county has pased to the great beyond. She came forty years ago this spring, as a bride of four years, when this country was a vast wilder ness and the county that is now dot ted with beautiful homes, filled with a happy and contented people, was the GOING INTO ACTION That is what the whole American people are doing now, for national salvation. jjg 4k Our brave sons will soon be facing the foe ■ at the front and here at home behind them th6 j| ■ rest of us will equally be doing our share to feed our armies and the civil population that m f must support them. The Nebraska State Bank also has its duty to perform and recognizes it. We will help our farmers obtain the last ounce of yield from their land by giving them adequate financial and business support and that support is at their service. Come and use our service.

She endured all the vicissitudes and hardships of the pioneer and lived to see their faith in this country ful filled. She was a kind and loving wife and mother and a splendid neighbor, ever willing to lend a hand to assist some less fortunate along the pathway of life. She passed to the great be yond surrounded by her loved ones and went to join her husband, who had passed away several years ago. The funeral was held Monday morn ing* from the Catholic church and was largely attended by sorrowing rela tives, friends and neighbors, interment being made in Calvary cemetery. Side Lights on the Fourth. Everet Brown, mounted upon a beautiful black spotted steed enjoyed the distinction of marshalling and leading the parade. Mr. Brown makes a very gallant marshall and fits into the scenery admirably. The number of decorated automo biles and floats in the parade was very small and came greatly under the estimated number. There must have been about fifteen cars entered but they were all neatly decorated. Charlie McKenna’s car, decorated by the Red Cross society was awarded first prize, Charlie Daly’s second and a car entered by the Koo Koo Klub of Rushvile, third. A float decorated by the Red Cross took first prize among the floats.. And while we are on the subject of this float let us remark that it was in deed a beauty. Michael Horiskey, of considerable local fame as a decorator and a student and friend of all that is beautiful, modestly indicated that he was responsible. Eugene Henry received first prize for the bpst imitation of Charlie Chaplin, one of the Hammond boys second, and a Downey boy third. The Bassett band, which had been secured for this occasion, took part in the parade in the forenoon, officiated at the sports at the fairgrounds in the afternoon and gave a concert in the evening. Composed of about twenty five players, all excellent musicians and thorough gentlemen, this aggregation made a decided impression upon O’Neill people and her visitors. Al ways ready and eager to work, never laying down on the job was one of the noticable features of this organization and many were the compliments they received from all sides for their willingness and ability. Should any one, who sees this, ever need a band 1 they can make no mistake in securing i the Bassett boys. The carnival did a thriving business. 1 A number of the concession and small ! show men informed us that it was the best show day they had had this season. In the evening the big tent was overcrowded. Many were stand ing up in the rear who were unable to secure seats after all of the old avail- 1 able chairs and boxes had been pressed * into use. The show was good too, and * judging from the applause and j laughter that greeted the performers the audience was well satisfied. Fritz Adams, a polished, courtly * gentleman, an actor of rare ability and training, a product of the school of ex perience who has seen service in stock and withe traveling companies in all of the principal cities of this country and Canada, is in the city this week “doing” character parts wth the Sav idge Players Company. For several seasons past Mr. Adams has been \ spending his summers with this com pany and is well and favorably known to the theatre goers along the Savidge itinerary. One can well understand the popularity of this company with men and women of Mr. Adam’s ability and standing a part of ti. His art is the result of many years of hard work and study, and done not alone for monetary reward, but rather that the lovable or despicible characters of fiction may be feelingly and humanly presented for the gratification of their admirers and that the characters of times past and places elsewhere shall not be lost to this and other times and generations. The base ball game was a series of tragedies. Emmet won 18 to 12. Numerous errors were responsible for the large score. The game opened as though it would be a hummer and for a few innings was very good. The O’Neill team seemingly blew up and several hits coupled with errors en abled the Emmet boys to win. Watson, who was twirling for O’Neill, left the box in the sixth inning and Joe Chmeler, of Dodge, a brother of John Chmeler, replaced him. Chmeler re cently tried out with theRourkesandis considered somewhat of a pitcher. He did not open up any here, not wanting to pitch and not being in any condition and the Emmet boys touched him up quite freely. The boys should get to gether again and se if they can mako-" it two out of three. Librarain’s Report. For Month of June, 1917.
