She endured all the vicissitudes and hardships of the pioneer and lived to see their faith in this country ful filled.

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.
