ARE HERE AGAIN Plays Are Pleasing Crowds Each Even ing. Midway Is Popular Resort For Old And Young. The Savidge company arrived in O’Neill Sunday afternoon on their special train of ten double-length bats and Pullmans and are occupying the usual location just west of the laundry. As in former years, the Walter Savidge players are the featured at traction and on the opening night pre sented the play “It’s A Boy” to a large house. The offering was received with applause throughout. Tuesday evening the company play ed “Turn To The Right,” a play that is familiar to many who have seen it in the movies. Wednesday night the players pre sented “She Walked In Her Sleep,” which was also very well received. To night the play will be “Three Live Ghosts,” and tomorrow night the great play “Welcome Stanger” will be the offering and has received considerable favorable comment in the press where the company has appeared. Saturday afternoon the players will present a matinee entitled “Before Breakfast”—a very delightful three act comedy. Saturday evening the players will present “Clarence,” a comedy by Booth Tarkington, guaranteed to pro duce laughs. All of the plays have had long runs in New York and each one is guaranteed to please. ;word here about the players ould not be amiss. It can truthfully said that Mr. Savidge has eclipsed ’i previous efforts in selecting this oar’s cast, which is the strongest carried by any company in the middle ^est. The plays are all produced un der the direction of A1 C. Wilson, who is also an able character in each of fering. The leading man is Raymond Appleby and the leading lady is Bethel Barth. The comedy roles are ably handled by Craig Nelso and the character and business parts by J. Gordon Kelly, Robert. Sherwood, Percy Hall, Adelaide Irving, Nellie Kempton, May Wilson, Phillip Moore and Oscar Olson. The stage is said to be the largest carried by any company in this terri tpry and is as completely equipped with electrical and scenic effects as any large theatre and each production is presented with all the required effects. Vaudeville is presented between tqe acts by Hall and Kimpton, in singing and talking novelties. Phil Moore, the musical saw man; May Wilson in song and dance numbers. The Savidge orchestra consists of ten pieces and is under the direction of Tom Clark as well as the band and both have pleased the crowds im mensely. The morning concerts on the street up town have attracted quite a number so far, and the numbers have pleased all—ranging from popu lar to classic in each program. What is said to be the best free act ever carried by Savidge is the stunt put on twice a day by the Wright Duo The act has the distinction of being absolutely original and consists of a number of clever balancing maneuvers with a chair purched on the top most round of a swinging ladder. The act has been a feature with one of the large circuses. The midway is up to the usual Savidge standard and is well patron ized each evening. A number of new features among the concessions are to be found this year. The four riding lovices are doing a fair business and pleasing the kiddies immensely. The Savidge company is a good •’can show and is popular in O'Neill where tihe company appears every vear and the public appreciates the •farts of Mr. Savidge in bringing this <vpe of high class amusement to O’Neill each season. The company ids for business on merit alone and “drives its own stakes” which puts it in an entirely different class from a certain well known formi of entertain ment which has preyed on certain communities for several years past. The company goes from here to Wisner and the many friends of the Savidge folks in O’Neill with the company the best of success and look forward to their return next year.

I love my work and I will never be happy doing another thing.” “The combined ages of the four women is 335 years and if there is a house in Southern California that can boast of but four women with a higher aggregate age.

O’Neill, Nebr.: Charley Harding honey king of Beaver Flats, after sev eral years of scientific experimenta tion has solved the problem of doub ling the output of his numerous api aries without increasing the number of bees. Mr. Harding’s bee ranch is located in the valley of the Calamas River just below the mouth of Skull Creek, a community much infested with large and fierce man-eating mosquitoes. Some time ago Mr. Harding con ceived the idea that if he could lengthen the mapdibles of his bees they would be able to extract much more honey from the blossoms of their range by dipping deeper into the recesses of the flower cups. This would enable them to make shorter and more frequent trips from their hives and thus would prolong the life and usefulness of the workers. With this plan in mind he first sought to establish at least a neu trality if not an actual friendship between the ^mosquitoes and the bees, which heretofore had prompt ly engaged in mortal combat on meeting. He gradually accusomea the insects to each other by each even ing. introducing mosquitoes*, into the hives after the bees had gone to roost for the night. The bees, unlike mammals, does not awaken in a surly mood, but in steads greets the day in most cheer ful frame of min,d, and at that time is a friend to all. After several months of this proceedure, the bees and the mosquitoes at last established friend ly relations. Mr. Harding then hung raw meat just outside the openings of the hives so that the mosquitoes would not have to seek afar for food. From then on the bees and the mosquitoes domi ciled together with the resultant amalgamation of the two species and the production of a long-billed hybred with the nature and the likes of the bees predominating. Mr. Harding has sent for several hatch ings of eggs of the New Jersey gall nipper and will seek further to im prove his swarms this fall. “AIN’T NATURE WONDERFUL.” (St. Louis Post-Dispatch.) O’Neill, Neb. Doc Wilkinson, one of the leading scientists of Beaver Flats, will light his ranch buildings and run his sorghum mill and feed grinding machinery on the vanch just north of The Flats, this /ear from power furnished from growing plants. Science long has been aware of the enormous power possessed by the growing vegetation and that a ger minating seed has energy enough to crack and shatter the strongest rocks and the doctor quietly has been at work for several years on the prob lem of harnessing this energy. Af ter experimentation with many plants he at last has found the Hubbard squash, because of its hard shell the best adapted to laboring for man. He will net attempt to patent the machine which he has constructed for utilizing the power of growing plans but will publish its prin ciples and plans for its construction in several leading scientific journals, that all man-kind may benefit as soon as several minor imperfections are overcome. The squash motor, as it is termed consists principally of a broad metal band, lined with a soft substance to keep from injuring the squash, which is fastened firmly around the young gourd like fruit of the plant and its ends connected" with two crossed cables, which each in turn is wound around a drum on the ends of which are geared wheels. The growing and enlarging of the squash causes the bands to transmit energy to the irums. These in turn actuate other wheels and pulleys of sufficient num ber to transform a portion of tihe vast energy into the speed necessary to make it commercially adaptable. The doctor already has pumps in 3everal of his large cattle pastures rigged up with squash motors to furnish water for the cattle and about -he only maintenance expense is >il; the usual depreciation on pump ing machinery and the cost of a fence necessary to keep the cattle power plant. M. E. CHURCH NOTES. Rev. Hutchins was called to Ponca, Nebraska, Sunday morning on account af the death of a nephew, Joe Dare, who was killed in an automobile ac cident Saturday evening.

STORM DOES DAMAGE HERE SUNDAY NIGHT (Atkinson Graphic, July 25.) A severe wind and rain storm that hit this section of the country last Sunday night about 11 o'clock did much damage on farms north of At kinson. The rain, .90 of an inch as reported in Atkinson, was driven by a heavy northwest wind and was ac companied by a damaging electrical storm. Reports are that 26 head of cattle were killed by lightning on the Tur ner, and Hugh James places north of town. Four head of sheep were killed on the Ed Gosman farm when the wind partly destroyed a cement shed in which they were sheltered. Some damage was done by wind on the Henry Winkler and Robert Fullerton places. Much damage by water was done to roads in the north country. Some hail damage in the Sunday night storm is reported in the Wm. Blackburn neighborhood. Just a little under an inch of rain fell in this storm in a very short time. There was very littJe wind locally but in some places there was enough of a gale to lay some of the corn and grain. CROPS DESTROYED BY HAIL NEAR DUSTIN (Stuart Advocate, July 24.) A very destructive hail storm south and west of Dustin last week did great damage to crops in that vicinity. The center of the storm appeared to be at the Herman Kaupp place. His crops of corn and small grain were entirely destroyed. John Robertson also lost some small grain, and Alphonse and Clem Olberd ing were very heavy losers. Part of Mahlon Shearer’s crops were also ruined. Many others suffered severe losses, but those named above have been particularly mentioned. Mr. Kaup told us that the hail was about a foot deep at his place, and that he waded around in it until his feet got so cold that he had to get out of it. TAGGART-COOK. (Chambers Sun, July 17.) Prof, Paul Taggart was married to Miss Louise Elizabeth Cook, of Waverly, on July 16th.
