ROYAL WINS GAME
SUNDAY AFTERNOON
The O’Neill ball team went to Royal
last Sunday where they were again
defeated 1 to 5 by the Royal team, at
Dykeman’s park. A large crown was
present from all the nearby towns.
Manager Kersenbrock is optomistic
in regard to the ability of the O’Neill
team to defeat the Royal Champs. He
says that when the boys get pepped
up they can beat the Royal bunch
easily, and attributes their defeat Sun
day to lack of enthusiasm.
A return game will be played here

LARGE CROWD AT TILE
RED BIRD PICNIC
A large and enthusiastic crowd
gathered at the community picnic held
in the grove near the Red Bird store
last Saturday. The crowd was com
posed of residents of Holt, Knox and
Boyd counties, many of whom came
many miles to take part in the fes
tivities and to meet old friends.
Rev. W. L. Philley was to have made
an address following the noonday bes
ket dinner, but owing to the death of
Date Sievers, of Ewing, whose funeral
was to take place that afternoon, he
was unable to remain for the program.
J. M. Hunter, acting as chairman of
the day, ably introduced Judge Robert
R. Dickson, who made a short talk.
The Greenwood Indians and Verdel
played an extra good game of ball
which resulted in a victory for Verdel
3 to 2.
i ne dhu game Derween tne iais ana
leans was one of the principal draw
ing cards on the program. Many of
the fats have not played ball in
recent years, but notwithstanding this
fact, they showed, by the way they
handled the ball, that they had for
gotten but little of their former
knowledge of the game. The leans
were the cream of the young men of
the community but were unable to
make, the desired showing against the
older heads. The final score was 9 to
7 in favor of the Fats.
Following is the lineup:

O’Neill, Neb., Aug. 3.—The strange
epiddtnic which has been carrying off
bind dogs and collies at an alarming
rate around Beaver Flats this sum

to local savants who have been in

are caused by hardening of the ar
teries due solely to lack of exercise,
in the opinion of Col. James McPhar

a study of dogs; and the condition is

brought about by the war of extermi
nation now being waged by the sand
fleas, wheh are quite numerous in
the Calamas valley, against the large
flocks of mammoth mosquitoes which
have invaded the valley from the up
per reaches of the Loup river.
The fleas were first incited to en
mity against the mosquitoes when the
latter began feeding upon the hosts
of the fleas. In the preliminary skir
mishes between the two insects the
fleas soon discovered that it was easier
to puncture a wellfed and drdwsy
mosquito than it was to drill through
the sun-baked epidermis of a dog and
since then have been praying entirely
on the mosquitoes, which, as a conse
quence, have entirely abandoned the
canines as a base of supplies.
The fleas, in their desire to satisfy
their newly acquired appetites, fol
lowed the mosquitoes, pursuing them
to the cattle and other livestock, to
which they have transferred their at
tentions.
As a result, the dogs, with nothing
else to occupy their attention during
the hot months, rapidly are succumb
ng to over-feeding and over-sleeping.
Colonel McPharlin believes that it
may be necessary to import more fleas
when the mosquito season is over, if
the dogs are to be saved for fall hunt
ing, as the war between the insects
Is not so one-sided as would appear at
first glance.
The mosquito in his death throes
when punebured by the flea generally
manages to so sting his adversary so
that the latter dies a few hours later.
It is rarely, observers declare, that a
flea survives long enough to get more
than two or three mosquitoes.
“AIN’T NATURE WONDERFUL”
By Uncle Pete in Omaha Bee.
O’Neill, Neb., July 26.—Noiseless
celery, Doc Wilkinson’s new society
vegetable, made its first commercial
appearance in the markets of Beaver
Flats this week. The new plant is
the successful result of several years
of experimentation by the doctor in
his horticultural and botanical gar
dens, located in the northern suburbs
of the city.
The doctor’s attention first was at
tracted to the possibilities from a
commercial standpoint of a silent celery
when Mrs. Charley Laughing Horae
announced that she was about to
abolish the common variety from the
menu at her weekly bridge luncheons
because it seriously interfered with
the conversation of her guests and
frequently caused misinterpretation of
bids. Since that time the doctor has
devoted himself to the hybridization of
the ordinary celery plant with other
vegetables of a like succulency but
lesser brittleness of fibrous construct
ion, and at last he has solved the prob
lem by a cross with a modification of
the Mexican rubber plant.
The new celery is of a slightly dar
ker shade of green than the ordinary
variety and of somewhat shorted
stem. It is able to withstand dry sea
sons much better and matures in the
north much earlier than does the
other. It is prepared for the table by
first soaking it in a slight sulphur
solution to overcome the elasticity of
the rubber fibers and then cooled on
ice for several hours. The new plant
was tried out for several months at
local social functions before placing it
on the market.
