John Melvin
Kelly Martin, who left last Tuesday
to join the United States Marines at
St. Louis, having been passed at
Omaha, returned home Sunday even
ing having been rejected at St. Louis
on account of flat feet. His brother,
George, whose physical condition the
Omaha doctors considered doubtful,
was accepted and is now training in
the south.
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. He has two washers, one for
white goods and one for the dark
colors, a heated drying room which
removes the gasoline oder, new pres
sing machines and an expert who
understands this work to have charge
of the cleaning. 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

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.
