MORE LOCAL MATTERS.
F. M. Pelletier, editor of the Spring
view Herald, and W. H. Brigsg, one of
the hustling real estate dealers of that
city, were O’Neill visitors last Satur
day and favored this office with a fra
ternal call. Mr. Briggs is an old time
printer and was at one time editor of
the Herald, but he finds the real estate
game a more prolific avenue to wealth
than the newspaper business, hence he
retired from the game. He says, how
ever, that the smell of printers ink
still is very agreeable to him and that
he might again enter the field, after
he has “made a fortune” in the real
estate game.
.James Kelley received word last Sat
urday that his nephew, John Regan,
was drowned at Pe Ell, Washington,
on June 22. The body was recovered.
Mr. Regan was working in the ship
yards and fell from the scaffolding
Into the water. He was not missed by
his companions for some time when
they commnced searching for him and
found his body in the Water. He was
twenty years of age and was married
on June 2, 1920, to a young lady of
Seattle. Mr. Regan made his home
with his grandfather, the late J. J.
. Kelley, here for several years and was
well known in this city and vicinity*
Ho left here for the west about five
years ago.
The entertainment by five of the
boys from the Father Flanagan home
at Omaha, Monday evening, at the K.
C. hall, draw a large audience, which
was much pleased with and enlightened
by the program given. The Father
Flannigan home is doing one of the
greatest of works in reclaiming the
parentless and friendless youth and is
one of the most efficient and commend
able of its kind in the west, worthy
of the undivided support of all sects
and creeds as the institution draws no
lines at all in its work of making use
ful citizens. The boys, who are ac
companied by Father Flanagan, re
mained in the city n major portion of
the week and many subscriptions to
the support of the home have been
made, among the larger ones being
$500 subscriptions by John Carr and
Patrick O’Connor, one of $200 by
Joseph Petr and a number for smaller
amounts. Wednesday evening Charles
Stout, in addition to a liberal sub
sciption, turned over the receipts of
the soda fountain to the home, the
boys' waiting on the tables. Fifty
dollars Were realized.
The Nebraska State bank has in
augurated a campaign to inculcate a
spirit of saving not only in the youth
but also the older members of the
community through a system of sav
ings accounts to take care of the
_£_
nickles and dimes too frequently
lightly regarded and thoughtlessly
squandered. These stray pieces of
small change when laid aside until a
sufficient amount accumulates to
justify their deosit then become work
ers and begin to grow of themselves.
The bank has secured a number of
handsome and durable shake-proof
savings banks. Once a piece ofj money
is dropped in one of them it is there
to stay until the bank is opened by the
master key at the bank and the
money then is deposited in an interest
bearing account. That the little banks
will not be sought for merely as souv
ernirs, the bank requires a deposit of
$1 when the little bank is secured.
The bank then is locked and a slug
good for one dollar is dropped therein.
When the holder presents his bank for
the first deposit he is given credit for
the amount advanced. The campaign
is more thoroughly explained else
where in this issue.
Mrs. Frank Phalin and daughter,
Loretta, narrowly escaped drowning
Sunday afternoon in the river down
near Cassidy’s lake, when Miss Phalin
stepped off beyound her depth while
wading and Mrs. Phalin, who could not
swim, attempted to rescue her. Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Phalin, Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas Enright, and their families,
with Ed. Peterson, were spending the
afternoon on the river, picnicing and
fishing. After lunch the men went
down the river a ishort distance to fish,
while the women and children went in
bathing in shallow water near the
river bank. Loretta while playing in
the water backed off into a deep hole
and Mrs. Phalin promptly went to her
assistance and the water being deep
also went under. Loretta in her strug
gles managed to grasp a willow and
drew herself out, but seeing her
mother still in the water jumped in
again to assist her. The younger
children in the meantime had summon
ed the men and Mr. Phalin, the only
one who could swim, rescued them.
After first aid the two were brought
to the city for medical attention and
later taken to their home. Miss Phalin
was none the worse for her experi
ence and was able to be about Sunday
evening. Mrs. Phalin, although suffer
ing no injurious effects, was confined
to her bed from the shcck for several
days.

The Test of the Two Violins
Violins differ subtly in tone! Test the
New Edison Realism bv that fact.
We have an liAve Maria” Re-Creation
played by Albert Spalding with his
Guarnerius. This famous violin has a
brilliant, singing tone. We have a
second ‘‘Ave Maria” Re-Creation
played by Carl Flesch with his genuine
Stradivarius. This violin has a rich,
mellow tone. __
Come in and compare these two Rk-Crf.a
tions—tone for tone. If the New Edison
makes clear the distinction between the
singing Guarnerius and the mellow
Stradivarius, you know it has perfect
realism for you.
