RACE MEET WILL
BE RECORD BREAKER
The O'Neill race meet of the Big
Five circuit, starting next Wednesday
; nd continuing Wednesday, Thursday
-.d Friday, June 16-17-18, will be the
biggest running event ever held in the
west. More than 200 horses of na
_-- tional and international reputation
will compete. The first meet of the
circuit, at Hartington, started Thurs
day. One hundred and forty-seven
horses already were at the track Wed
nesday, reservations had been askeii
for thirty-eight more due to arrive
Wednesday night and a sufficient
number to bring the total at Harting
ton to over two hundred were ex
pected Thursday. In addition to these
there already are six stables, com
prising fourteen horses at the O'Neill
track and which will remain here, the
Hartington officials having Wired Sec
. retary Peter Duffy to keep them here,
as they could not be accommodated at
Hartington. All of the horses now at
Hartington will come to O’Neill, ar
riving some time Sunday. Several
special trains probably will be re
quired to transport the blooded
gallopers. The horses already here,
together with the ones at Hartington
insures the O’Neill meet to be much
the larger one, and as many of the
stables probably will go to other
circuits immediately after the local
meet this will be the only opportunity
perhaps ever offered to see so large a
field assembled at one meet. Follow

HUNTER WINS
GOLF TOURNAMENT
Times have changed in Holt county
since Ben Postelwaite was defeated
for supervisor from northern Holt, by
his fellow farmers because he had
joined the O’Neill Shakespeare club.
J. M. Hunter, president of the Holt
county farmers union, Wednesday
afternoon won the tournament of the
O’Neill Golf club by defeating Parnell
Golden one up at the eighteenth hole
before a large and enthusiastic gal
lery none of whom was wagering any
large amount on either contestant be
cause of the slight handicap given Mr.
Hunter during the tournament and the
exceedingly strong form he has been
showing the last several weeks, and
the fact that Mr. Golden is the winner
* of several North Central Nebraska
tournaments. Mr. Hunter, incidentally
still is in good standing with his fel
low union members because, starting
at the foot of the lists he has steadily
defeated all of his opponents, bankers
and lawyers in particular going down
before him as does the grain before
the reaper.
OF INTEREST TO
FARMER SOLDIERS
A bulletin entitled, “New Provisions
For Compensation and Medical and
surgical Care and Supplies Under the
War Risk Act,” find officially listed as
“LD—30,” is announced by Director
R. G. Cholmeley-Jones of the Bureau
of War Risk Insurance as ready for
distribution.
The Circular which is addressed to
former service men and a copy of
which may be obtained from the
Bureau of War Risk Insurance, sets
forth the warning that a certificate of
injury from the Bureau, within one
year from the date of discharge or
resignation, is necessary to preserve
eligibility for compensation on the
part of anyone who received injury or
contracted disease while in the service.
To quote the bulletin: “No com
pensation is payable unless the disa
bility or death can be traced to an In
jury or a disease incurred in the
service.
“Many persons, however, have re
ceived injuries or contracted disease in
the service and the ill effects thereof
do not appear until some time after
i their discharge or resignation. If the
disability resulting from the injury or
disease contracted in the service does
not occur before one year after
discharge or resignation you may be
unable to obtain compensation, for the
'ajv provides that when such disability
cr death occurs as shown by the medi
cal evidence after one year after your
discharge, a certificate of injury must
have been obtained from the Director
of the Bureau, within the year from
the date of your discharge in order
that the government may pay you, or
your dependents.”
“If you were injured or contracted
disease while in the service, even
though the injury or disease was of a
minor character, be sure to apply for
a certificate of injury before one year
after the date of your discharge or
resignation, in order to protect you
self and vour dependants. Act now.
“Do not fail to get this certificate if
you sustained injury or disease in the
service which, even though it may net
bother you now, may become aggra
vated hereafter. Apply to the near
est District Supervisor of the Public
Health Service, or write to the Chief
Medical Adviser, Bureau of War Risk
Insurance, Washington, D. C., giving
your full name, serial number, and or
ganization, and rank at the time of
discharge or resignation.”
The Compensation and Insurance
Claims Division of the Bureau has ap
proved 147,081 claims for compensa
tion on account of risability through
service, and now is making payments
thereon each month to the extent of
$4,488,053.31.
Cause For Quitting.
Kansas City Star: “Why did I quit
him ? Because he’s crazy—rattle
brained—changeable, you know,” said
the stenographer, explaining a recent
resignation. “Why, if I had stayed in
that office a month longer I’d be taking
my meals off a ouija board!”
NOTICE.
The public is cordially invited to at
tend the Memorial Services to be held
on Thursday, June 15th, at the Odd
Fellows hall at 8 p. m., under the
auspices of the Brotherhood of
American Yeomen.
TAX PAYERS ATTENTION.
A metting of the land owners and
tax payers of Shields precinct was

raised in .land values in this year’s as
sessment and a committee was ap

per cent in these precincts and we are
told in some precincts it is still more.

RESIGNS AS SECRETARY
OF COMMERCIAL CLUB
Mr. T. V. Golden, Pres, of O'Neill
Commercial Club, City.
Dear Sir: I herewith tender my
resignation as secretary of the O’Neill
Commercial Club in which capacity I
have been acting for the past three or
four years. I feel it proper and right
that I should resign and turn this
work over to some one else as I have
other official duties to perform.
I am heartily in favor of ar. active
Commercial Club in O’Neill and know
that the city cannot make much ad
vancement or progress without such
an organization. I would like to see
the O’Neill Commercial Club either
reorganized or rejuvenated if it is
possible to accomplish either of these
objects. Under the reorganization, I
would like to see the women of O’Neill
included in its membership who now
enjoy the full right of franchise and
have always taken a keen interest in
civic enterprises.
If it is not possible to maintain an
active Commercial Club, I believe it
would be even adviseable to maintain
a nominal one with some competent
secretary to be compensated at least
for expenses in looking after matters
and answering correspondence and in
quiries, which would come to said
secretary’s attention pertaining to the
welfare ot the city and community,
and which, in many instances, might
be of very vital interest to the citi
zens and O’Neill.
With the assurance of my apprecia
tion of the very pleasant associatior
with you in the Commercial Club work
and the appreciation of the manj
•
courtesies of the members of the Com
mercial Club and for their cooperation
I beg to remain,
Very truly,
C. M. DALY.
STOLEN CATTLE RECOVERED.
Twenty-one head of fat cattle stolen
from the Ditch Camp ranch south
j west of O'Neill on May 24th have
■teen recovered on the Saunders
j county ranch of Otto H. Schurman of
! the Commercial National bank 6f Fre
| r iOnt to whom they were sold by Otto
j f mith, Holt county cattle rustler. The
! cattle were located by the sheriff of
Saunders county and Monday were
turned over to Deputy Sheriff Berg
3irom of this county and Paul Schwis
cow, their owner, proprietor of the
Pitch Camp outfit. Smith still is a
fagative from justice and his wife this
! week filed application in the district
court for divorce. The theft is one of
the most daring pulled off, the Ditch
Camp adjoining the city on the south
west. Smith, probably with a com
paninon, cut the fence in one of the
pastures, drove out but a carload of
cattle and then took them to Inman,
where he held them for several days
waiting for a stock car. He became
nervous before arrival otf the stock
car and finally loaded them into a box
car and shipped them.to Fremont. AH
the stuff was branded.
Smith, who has a notorious bad
check record here, formerly worked foY
Schurman in Dodge and Saunders
county. He prepared for the theft by
going down to Fremont several months
before and informing the banker that
he was engaged in farming up here
but was going to .leave the country
and would ship eight cows to Fremont,
where he wanted Schurman either to
pasture them for him until he re
located or to buy them. Then, return
ing to Holt county, during the heavy
I ood period he ran the cattle out at
a time they would not be missed and
shipped them. The loss of the cattle
was discovered May 26, but the owner
thinking they had strayed, with his
men rode the south range country try
ing to locate them. He finally notified
the authorities after finding the cut
fence and it was ascertained a box car
of cattle had been shipped from In
man. The rest was easy. Smith, on
his arrival in Fremont told Schurman
he had shipped his eight cows with
^thirteen head belonging to a neighbor
who had gone on to Kansas City after
instructing him to sell them for him
and bank the money in the Fremont
bank. The banker bought the twenty
one head {or $800, giving Smith $200
and depositing the rest to Lenny
Moore, the name of the man with
whom Smith said he had shipped.
COST OF LIVING SOARS
DESPITE PALMER HOPES
Doubled During Past Five Years of
Administration Promises to
Voters to Reduce It.
Washington, June 3.—The United
States Department of Labor has come
forward with proof that the cost of
living has more than doubled during
the Wilson administration in spite of
promises made to reduce them.
As the result of lack of team work
between Attorney General Palmer,
who, during the past ten months, has
been declaring on the stump that he
will give old H. C. L. a jolt that will
drive it to its lair, and the Depart
ment of Labor, which continues to
prove "his promises to be buncombe,
the Democratic leaders are worried.
They don’t want to stop Palmer from
holding out the hope that he will bring
prices down and relieve the voter and
they don’t see how they can stop the
Department from printing the sta
tistics. Meanwhile the national cam
paign is coming on apace.
Statistics made public showed in de
tail charges in the cost of living dur
ing this five-year period for fourteen
industrial centers on the Atlantic and
Gulf Coasts and the Great Lakes. The
highest precentage of increase was
107.87 for Detroit. The next highest
was 106.98 for Norfolk. New York
ranked third. The total increase in
each of the other cities listed is given
as follows:
Portland, Maine, 91.59; Boston,
93,20; Philadelphia, 96.49; Baltimore,
98.40; Savannah, 98.68; Jacksonville,
102.14; Mobile, 94.54; Houston, 101.70;
Chicago, 100.61; Cleveland, 95.05, and
Buffalo, 102.65.
Representative Carl W. Riddick, of
Montana, has sought to expose the
hypocrisy of the Administration by the
following resolution:
Whereas, the primary causes of the
high cost of living, due to and cor
rectible by administrative action arc
(1) Government extravagence and
waste, creating fictitious prices and
causing heavy taxation to be loaded
on the cost of the necessities of life;
(2) The purchase and hoarding b>
the War Department of vast quanti
ties of food, clothing, and other ma
terials acquired at profiteer prices anc
causing general prices to rise in sym
pathy;
(3) The exportation in vast quan
tities of necessities for the relief ol
foreign populations, thus decreasinf
the* supply of* staples in the Unitec
States;
(4) The continued inflation of the
| currency under the management of
tire Federal Reserve Board, causing a
i depreciation of the value of the dollar;
(5) The encumbering of the pay
roll with hoards of unnecessary and
unproductive Government employees;
(6) The failure and refusal of the
administration to enforce existing
Federal statutes prohibiting combina
tions in unfair restraint of trade:
Therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United
States of America in Congress as
sembled, that the President is hereby
requested to employ the means
directly within his power for the relief
of the people of the United States
from exploitation by profiteers and
from high cost iiflposed by administra
tive methods before asking Congress
for additional legislation which will be
--- Li.
powerless to remedy the situation, in
the fact of the failure and neglect of
the executive department to utilize the
means of relief within its immediate
power.
AGED SUNDAY
SCHOOL STUDENTS.
The Sunday school of the O’Neill
First Presbyterian church until the
death of Mrs. Julia Irene Dodge, who
died Wednesday evening, undoubtedly
possessed the bwb oldest Sunday
school attendants in the state and
challenges any other Sunday
school to produce two older
members. They were Mrs. Julia Irene
Dodge, born May 6, 1820, and who
consequently was 100 years and one
month old last Sundtv and Mr.
Andrew Potter, who Monday cele
brated his ninetieth birthday anni
versary. Both of these aged ones were
•n entire possession of their faculties
and regular attendants at Sunday
school when possible. Another
old timer, who doesn’t got to
church as often as in former years,
but who yet is able to be about in
pleasant weather, is Jasper Davis, who
was too old if!or the draft in the civil
war. and too old for enlistment, but
who nevertheless soldiered with the
northern Missouri home guards during
tha great conflict. Records of Mr.
Davis’ family, although not giving the
sxact date of his birth, show him to
ae in his 116 year. Mr. Potter is the
father-in-law of Mr. W. T. Evans,
proprietor of the Golden hotel, where
ne resides and takes active part in the
iirecting and management. He re
cently showed a youngster of sixty
ive who complained of age and rheu
natism, to his room, carrying the lat
;er’s heavy suitcase jauntily up two
lights of stairs.
