Road South of O’Neill. The O’Neill Commercial Club is in receipt of a petition signed by 162 farmers residing in McClure, Lake, Conley and Chambers townships ask ing that the O’Neill Commercial Club and the members thereof use their in fluence and enterprise to procure for them, or to assist ihem in procuring, a direct road south, between the Range lines 11 and 12, to the south line of the county It appears that like peti tions have been submitted to the County Board of Supervisors asking for their official approval of such a ^vc^voad. This pet-1 tic n has not been formally presented to or acted upon by the Commercial Club, but it seems to me as though the large number of farm ers who have signed this petition are entitled to recognition in this matter, and are entitled to a straight or di rect road to O’Neill for the purpose of traveling on when they come here to transact their county business, and de liver their produce over, and haul their freight thereon, without having to go several miles out of their way to get onto some indirect road for them leading to O’Neilk In fact, it is my belief that every road leading into O’Neill should re ceive equal consideration, and es pecially in the instance of this road in question, and where it serves such a large number of farmers and ranch men. I do not believe that all the money should be spent on one road •and none on anoher road of such in terest and benefit to such a large number of farmers and tax payers as proposed road would be. C. M. DALY, Sec. of O’Neill Commercial Club. U. S. Civil Service Examinations. An open competitive examination under the rules of the U. S.

SHOEMAKER, Secretary Civil Service Board, St. Paul, Minnesota. An Act of Congress approved July 11, 1919, provides: “That hereafter in making appoint ments to clerical and other positions in the executice branch of the Govern ment in the District of Columbia or elsewhere preference shall be given to honorably discharged slodiers, sailors and marines, and widows of such, and to the wives of injured soldiers, sailors and marines who themselves are not qualified, but whose wives are quali fied to hold such positions.” Applicants who are entitled to the benefit of this act should attach to their applications their original dis charge or a photostat or certified copy thereof or the official record of their service, which will be returned to them after inspection by the Commissioner. Hurst May Not Be Prosecuted. Harry Hurst, former Canadian soldier, who eloped with Miss Hannah Grimley of this city and who was brought back from Minneapolis by Sheriff Duffy last Friday, may not be prosecuted for desertion of his wife. The wife, an English girl whom Hurst married while overseas, and who was left destitute, ill and penni less when Hurst, taking their mar riage certificate, ran away with the Grimley girl, is at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Crocker. Mrs. Hurst is a daily, and often more frequent, visitor at the county jail where Hurst is being held. County Attorney Chapman is authority for the statement that Mrs. Hurst has forgiven the erring husband and now wants to withdraw her name from the complaint. It is probable that ap plication will be made to the court to permit her to do so. Hurst’s pre liminary hearing has been set for October 24. Hurst has a Croix de Guerre and in conversation with the county officials claims to have been shot up considerable by shrapnel and to suffer at times from shell shock, to which, with a strong attraction toward the fair sex, he attributes the trip to Minneapolis. If the complaint against him should be dismissed he still would be liable under the federal white slavery act should anyone care to prosecute. JULE UDEY ARRESTED. Stafford Ranchman Charged With Cattle Stealing. Jule Udey, residing on the old Ber gtom ranch near Stafford, is under ar rest charged with the theft of three cattle from the T. V. Golden ranch in Golden township. The Udey ranch and the Golden ranch are near to gether. The cattle, which are sup posed to have been taken this spring, were not missed, until sometime after by Mr. Golden. Two of them, it w'as learned when search was instituted, had been sold by Udey to William Anderson of Page. The third is said to have been sold around Orchard. Udey was brought to O’Neill Monday and his preliminary hearing set for October 27. He now is out on bond. Joseph McKenna. Joseph, the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Chatles McKenna, born to them Monday evening, died Tuesday morn ing after but six hours of life. Burial was in Calvary cemetery, Wednesday morning. The condition of Mrs. Mc Kenna is reported as much improved Thursday. <# The Melacholy Days. This is the season Shakespere wrote about, the country not being dry at that time, when he said: “The melancholy days have come, “The saddest of the year. “A little too warm for whiskey, “And a little too cold for beer." CAN’T DO THE WORK. It’s too much to try to work every day against a constant, dull backache, or sudden darting pain in the small of the back. Be rid of it. Try Doan’s Kidney Pills. Your neighbors recom mend them. Mrs. Byron Parker, O’Neill, says: “I have used Doan’s Kidney Pills off and on for years and they have done me a lot of gcod. I take them when I get attacks of backache, which comes or. from overwork. Sometimes my back has been so sore and lame and has pained so terribly, I couldn’t move another step. I have then used a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills and they have iriven the pains away, strengthened my back and helped me in every way.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Parker had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y. Look I Here is the globe spread out flat be* fore your eyes.
