Seth Noble, who has been looking
after business interests here for the
past few weeks, left for his home in

Mr. and Mrs. P. D. Mullen returned
last Sunday evening from Excelsior
Springs, Mo., where they had been en
joying the baths in this popular resort
for the past six weeks. P. D. says
the trip did him a world of good.
A new Dodge car driven by William
Boedecker, in which were four young
ladies, struck a rut in the road and
turned over, just north of the fair
grounds last Thursday night, result
ing in Boedecker sustaining a frac
tured leg and internal injuries. The
young ladies were very fortunate, es
caping with only a severe shaking up.
Excessive speed is very dangerous
and the surprise to many is that there
have not been more accidents, as we
have several young men who are ex
tremely reckless every time they get
behind the drive wheel in an automo
bile.

A large number of people attended
the recital given by the students of
the grammar grades of St. Mary’s
Academy, in the assembly room of
that school, this afternoon. The pro
gram consisted of singing, by a large
chorus of girls, recitations by Misses
Hele n O’Kief and Dorothy Grover;
several piano duets and a little play
let entitled “Cinderella.” The story
depicted Cinderella at home and at
the ball and the parts were all taken
by nine and ten year old children.
It is a beautiful story and it was
splendidly protrayed, the minuet at
the ball being especially well done.
At the state convention of the
Knights of Columbus, which was held
in Omaha last week, Captain E. H.
Whelan of this city was elected state
deputy for the ensuing year, winning
the election with a flattering vote
over L. G. Brian of Lincoln. Mr.
Whelan has been district deputy for
the past three years and is splendidly
equipped for the position to which he
has been elected. This is the second
time in the history of the order in this
state that an O’Neill man has been
eleced to the highes position within
the gift of the members of the state,
A. F. Mullen being the former O’Neill
ite who was elected to this position.
NOTICE.
Notice is hereby given automobile
and other vehicle owners that they
will not be permitted to drive in the
fields and hay meadows of the old
Mike Gallagher place. No fishing and
hunting allowed.

We had disputed him, and had
plotted to heap confusion upon his
head by shutting him in with the vil
lage bore who never knew anything
for use.
After two hours with the V. B., the
S. O. emerged pale, but smiling.
“Arrh-harrh!” we snarlingly gloat
ed. “And did you learn anything from
him?”
”Yes,” replied the optimist bravely.

to be a person from whom no one can

Oh, Moses!
Teacher—Now children, what are

Silence for a minute in the class.

schoolroom said:
