There seems to be an epidemic of
annonymous letters in O’Neill. The
Frontier has been favored with its
share. This form of insanity is not <
confined to residents of O’Neill, but is ]
prevalent in Page and Inman, and we \
understand traces of it are found in ]
Atkinson. In most cases the patient ]
recovers. The symptoms seems to be
an ungovernable desire to do some- i
thing mean to someone over some ,
other person’s shoulder.
At the regular meeting of the school <
board last Monday evening E. E. ,

has been a teacher at St. Mary’s i
academy, here, was elected to one of '
the grades. The salaries will remain '
the same as last year. A kindergarten
and two high school teachers are yet
to be elected. 1
S. J. Weekes, President of the
O’Neill National Bank, when inter
viewed today with reference to an 1
article appearing in the Sunday Word
Herald commenting on a suit filed in :
the District Court of Douglas County
by W. L. & C. L. Brady to recover
money paid for stock in the Missouri
Valley Cattle Loan Company and in
which suit Mr. Weekes is made de
fendant. Mr. Weekes had this to say:
“I have never had any dealings directly
or indirectly with the Missouri Valley
Cattle Loan Co., its officers or any of
its stock salesmen. It is indeed the
irony of fate to be accused of as
sisting in selling such stock when the
facts are that bankers of Nebraska
generally know and the people of this
county particularly know that 1 have
opposed and fought stock salesmen of
all kinds, the Missouri Valley Cattle
Loan Company included, both in
season and out of season. So far as I
am concerned this suit is nothing short
of an attempted extortion and black
mail which will be proven if the insti
gators of the suit ever permit it to
come to trial.”_
M. E. CHURCH NOTES.
Regular morning service will be held
in the church Sunday morning. Even
ing service will be held in the Big

)R. GILLIGAN THE NEW MAYOR.
Dr. J. P. Gilligan will guide the
lestinies of O’Neill for the two year
>eriod beginning in May. The doctor
fas elected by a large majority at the
ity ejection 'Tuesday, being the only
andidate whose name appeared on the
•allot and attempts to write in the
tames of others for the position not
retting very far. He will be the first
nayor of O’Neill elected for a term of
wo years, under the revised charter of
ities of this class adopted at the last
lession of the legislature. Other city
iffictrs elected were John C. Gallagher
ity clerk, C. P. Hancock city treas
trer, Thomas Birmingham council
nan First ward, George Bay council
nan Second ward and Mike Johnson
rhird ward. None of these had op
>osition and their names were the only
ines appearing on the ballot for the
■espective positions. A lively contest
'or the two positions on the city board
•ducation to be filled was the only
hing to arouse any interest whatever
n the election. No candidate filed for
dther of the school positions and as a
:onsequence the names of all candi
lates had to be written in, resulting
n a spirited campaign for eleventh
tour candidates. Miss Anna O’Donnell
tnd Charles B. Scott, the Women’s
Ulub candidates were the lucky ones.
Hiss O’Donnell running far ahead of
ill other candidates and Mr. Scott
eading the rest of the field by a sub
itantial majority.

BAND WEEK.
The members if the O’Neill Concert
Band have started their campaign this
week for the purpose of raising money
with which to maintain the band. The
boys want to raise enough money to
pay for their suits, which will be here
soon.
The people of O’Neill have not been
asked to furnish money for the upkeep
of the band while the members have
spent about $1,500.00 for instruments
nnd now have a repertoire of up-to
date music which they will furnish the
people of O’Neill one evening at least,
each week during the summer.
Saturday will be tag day for the
band, when a number of young ladies
will sell the tag for what you feel like
giving.
The band will give a concert Friday
and Saturday noon at twelve o’clock.
A good band neatly uniformed is
one of the town’s best advertisements;
let’s all boost for the band.
WILL HE GET THE MONEY?
The 0. F. Biglin furniture store
received the following letter one day
last week from a fellow who claims
to be in prison in Spain and is 3elf
explanatory. Here it is:
“Madrid, 3-9-1922.
“Dear Sir: Being imprisoned here
by bankruptcy I beg your aid to re
cover a sum of 360,000 dollars I have
in America being necessary to come
here to raise the seisure of my bag
gage paying to the register of the
court the expenses of my trial and
recover my portmanteau containing
a secret pocket where I have hidden
one check for that sum.
By reward I offer you the third
part viz 120,000 dollars.
I cannot receive your answer in the
prison but you must send a cablegram
to a person of my confidence who will
deliver it to me.
Awaiting your cable, to intrust you
all my secret.
Yours truly,
“First of all answer by cable, not by
letter as follows:
“Cscalona Lista de Telegrafos—Bil
boa-Espana, Arice well—40—Biglin.”
MODERN AUCTION BRIDGE.
The modern game of auction bridge
is a descendant of the old Russian
whist and came to its name in a
peculiar way about forty years ago,
says the Detroit News. At that time
there lived at Great Dally, Leicester
shire, England, two families devoted
to the game. They paid each other
visits on alternate nights. Their way
lay across an old rickety bridge,
dangerous to travel after nightfall. So
often did one neighbor say to the other
in parting, “Thank goodness it is your
bridge tomorrow night,” that in time
they referred to their game only as
“bridge.” And thus the new name be
came popular in the countryside and
was later accepted throughout Eng
land, and soon came to America.

FORMER O’NEILL MAN
ROBBED AT OMAHA
The following article appeared in
the Saturday edition of an Omaha
paper:
“While Deputy United States Mar
shal Lee Weekes was busily engaged
in the act of sleeping in his bed at
room 403, Y. M. C. A. building, last
night, he was joined by his brother,
Dale Weekes, who is employed by the
Burgess-Nash Co., and who was late
in retiring because of having attended
a movie.
‘This morning the deputy marshal
and his brother awoke to find that a
sneak thief had been in their midst
and had taken everything except their
pajamas and a government pistol that
the deputy had in his keester, alias
suitcase.
“Deputy Weekes said the total loss
was two watches and $15, with some
clothing.”
The serious part of the whole thing
was revealed to Lee Sunday morning
when he went to his wardrobe to "doll
up” and found that the thief had also
taken a new suit of clothes in addition
to what had already been reported.
