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.

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.

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
