W'rh Organize Home Guard Company.
A meeting is hereby called to meet
in the K. C. club rooms in this city
next Tuesday evening at 8 o’clock for
the purpose of organizing a company
of Home Guards. Home Guards have
been organized in towns all over the
state and the City of O’Neill should
be numbered among those having
good, active Home Guard Companies.
Attend the meeting next Tuesday
evening and help in the organization.

District Number Twenty-six. i
Mrs. Longstaff received a letter
from Miss Sadie Derickson, District
No. 26, Dorsey, with a donation of
sixty dollars and fifty-nine cents to be
used for knitting for our soldier boys.
The school gave a program and a
basket supper to raise this amount.
The program was fine and to speak of
the baskets, which the Dorsey ladies
can fix up, would be out of the
question. It was a fine thing to do
for our boys and here at headquar
ters we sure did appreciate the gift of
money. It will help ^ great deal, and
our funds for this purpose are getting
low. Now, maybe, some more of the
teachers in the county can follow this
example and furnish an evening of
pleasure and help along the good
work.
Mrs. Geo. Longstaff.
One Holt County Slacker.
An idea of the great amount of
work performed by the local exemption
board in preparing men for the
national army can be gained by a
perusal of the following table of the
status of the men called before the
local board and the disposition made
of them. It will be noted from the list
that Holt county is credited with hav
ing one slacker who has failed to re
port, and, so far as the local board can
ascertain, he has never enlisted. He is
Gabriel M. Black who registered at
Atkinson. It is said that he is a
traveling musician and happened to be
in Atkinson on registration day and
registered there. The local board have
sent the authorities, in a southern city,
where they understood Black was, or
ders to take him into custody, but so
far they have failed to receive infor
mation that he had been apprehended.
The disposition of the 452 men
called for examination can be learned
by glancing at the following table,
which has been prepared by County
Clerk Kelly, clerk of the local board:
Total No. called for examination 452

Drive Will Be Successful.
The Y. M. C. A^. drive in Holt
county to raise $3,500, its quota of the
$35,000,000 that the organization is
raising to look after the welfare of
the young men in the army, is pro
gressing nicely and there seems to be
no question but what this county will
raise its quota. Up to Wednesday
noon, from the reports of the chair
men in the various towns of the
county, the sum of $1,612.00 had been
raised, or nearly half of the amount.
The following towns contributing the
amount set opposite their names:
O’Neill . $485.00
Atkinson . 22.00
Stuart . 381.00
Inman . 250.00
Chambers . 134.00
Ewing . 340.00
D. L. Jouvenat, of Atkinson, is
chairman of the Holt county organ
ization. He has been absent from the
county for the past week but is now
home and the drive in our neighboring
city on the west is now on in full
force and they will add several hun
dred dollars to the fund. The other
towns in the county expect to in
crease the amount they had secured
Wednesday and there is no question
but what the county’s quota will be
secured, but it will take work on the
part of the several committees. Put
your shoulder to the wheel and help
the cause along as it is worthy. When
you pay your money you are helping
this organization to take care of the
Holt county boys who are now serving
their country, so walk to the front and
help the good cause along.
Nebraska Study Club.
The Nebraska Study Club held its
regular semi-annual meeting in the
City of O’Neill Monday and Tuesday
of this week. With a few exceptions
the members and their assistants
spent Sunday in this city. Jake all
other organizations there are a few
members who suffer more or less‘from
the sting of the “golf bug’’ and the
prognosis is bad; in order to give them
temporary relief it was necessary to
pilot them twice about the golf course
Sunday morning.
In the afternoon it was arranged to
take a trip across the plains by auto
and a fine trip is reported. Q. M.
Daly and W. K. Hodgkin kindly as
sisted Dr. Pettibone by the use of
their autos. Mr. Hodgkin and his
Ford were highly honored long before
the trip was ended. Dr. Bolzell con
tends that Barney Oldfield’s records
are of little consequence and soon will
be forgotten.
Monday morning at 8:30 the club
settled down to the purpose of its
meeting and three gold foil operations
were soon in progress. The patients
were all good ones and as a result
they received beautiful gold foil fill
ings. All operations were completed
by Tuesday noon and every member
present had made a gold filling. As a
result of these meetings each member
shows a decided improvement.
Monday evening the regular busi
ness meeting was held and all officers
were re-elected which are President,
Dr. M. E. Pettibone; Vice-President,
Dr. J. E. Fickling, Secretary and
Treasurer, Dr. L. A. Burgess.
Dr, G. B. Baird, of Fremont, by the
aid of his assistant, Miss Gartman,
conducted the meeting. Dr. Baird is
considered by the dental profession as
one of the very best operators in the
U. S.
The club regretted very much that
two of its members, Drs. Higgins and
Kane, could not be present.
The club accepted the kind invita
tion of Dr. C. E. Bozell and will hold
the next regular meeting in Stanton
next spring.
Those present were:
Dr. R. R. Raison and assistant, Miss
Helen Frohner, of Long Pine, Neb.
Dr. C. E. Bozell and assistant, Miss
Izetta Peterson, of Stanton.
Dr. J. E. Fickling and assistant,
Miss Clara Holstein, of Plainview.
Dr. W. R. Hall and assistant, Miss
Edna Merz, of Battle Creek.
Dr. W. C. Hastings and assistant,
