PATRICK S. HUGHES.
Patrick S. Hughes died at his home
one and one-half miles southeast of
this city this (Thursday) evening. He
has been in failing health for several
months, but has been able to be about
the house most of the time.
Mr. Hughes was born in County
Monohan, Ireland, eighty-five yea;rs
ago last September. He was the last
of the original colony in O’Neill, who
came to Holt county in the spring of
1874 with General O’Neill. He located
upon a homestead one mile west of
O’Neill where he made his home for
a number of years. Later he purchas
ed and moved to his present home
southeast of O’Neill.
He was uniter! in marriage on Jan
uary 29, 1899, to Margaret Vaughan.
To this union was born one child who
died in infancy.
The passing of Patrick Hughes re
moves a prominent figure from the
community. He was well known and
liked by everyone. He has taken a
prominent part in the upbuilding and
advancement of O’Neill ever since its
organization. The funeral services
will be held Saturday morning at nine
o'clock at St. Patrick’s church in this
city. Burial will be made in Calvary
cemetery.
HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
The high school team journeyed to
Spencer Friday, October 31st and de
feated the high school team of that
T’ace 12 to 7. The game was hard
i . light and well played.
Throughout the first quarter O'Neill
completely outplayed their heavier op
ponents. In this period Downey, the
O’Neill quarter aided by fine interfer
ence returned a punt eighty yards for
a touchdown. ,On the try for point a
forward pass was incomplete.
In the second period the tables turn
ed with Spencer the master of the sit
uation. They recovered an O’Neill
fumble on O’NeiH’s twenty-yard line
and after a series of plays put the
oval across for six points. They drop
kicked for the point.
The score remained 7 to 6 until near
t’:e end o game. However O’Neill
marched down the field twice only to
lose the ball at the goal line. Finally
with t .eir backs to the wall Spencer
.ittemped a punt which was blocked by
Hunt and recovered by Carney, left
tackle, for a touchdown. The game
ended with the ball in the middle of
the field.

Touchdowns,—Carney one and Down
ey, One. No substitutions.
Ainsworth—O’Neill
The local high schor.’ team failed to
be the David and as a result Goliath
completely smothered his smaller op
ponent.
The first half of the game was close
ly contested. Ainsworth received the
kick-off and marched 6own the field,
entirely by means of straight football,
for a touchdown. The try for point
through the line was successful.
O'Neill elected to receive Hall re
turning the punt nicely ten yards by
Hunt and a brilliant run of forty yds.
through the line by Hall scored for
O'Neill.
From tnat point on it was an aius
worth O’Neill on the defensive prac
tically all the time. However they
failed to stop the heavy line and hard
hitting backs of their opponents. The
game ended 33 to 6.
The showing made by the locals In
view of the 13 to 7 game at Ainsworth
was somewhat disappointing yet the
absence of certain players from the
lineup coupled with the fact that the
team was unable to practice for over
one week, seriously handicapped them.
However the game was won by the
better team.

NO JOQUU.
(National Republican.)
Congressman Guy Hardy of Colo
rado has a faded old clipping in his
t
possession about the difficulty of a
pioneer newspaper out in his country,
which reads: “We began the publica-|
tion ov the Roccay Mountain Cyclone!
with some phew diphphiculties in the
way. The type phounder phrom whom
we bought our outphit phor this print
ing ophphice phaled to supply us with
any ephs or cays, and it will be phour
or phive weex bephore we can get any. I
The mistaque was not phoned out till
a day or two ago. We have ordered
the missing letters, and will have to
get along without them till they come.
We don’t lique the loox ov this variety
ov spelling any better than our read
ers, but mistax will happen in the best
regulated phamilies, and iph the ph’s
and c’s and x’s and q's hold out we
shall ceep (sound with c hard) the Cy
clone whiling aphter a phassion till
the sorts arrive. It is no joque to us
—it’s a serious aphair.”
SHE’S FROM BRYAN’S STATE.
The following article was taken
from the Grand Rapids (Michigan)
Herald and tells of the approaching
visit of Miss Georgie Hall to that
city. Miss Georgia is quite prominent
in grand opera. She was formerly an
O’Neill girl:
“And Georgie Lee Hall, who is nbw
making good in a very fine part in
“Rain,” coming to Powers’. She also
started in to fight her way to stage
honors. Miss Hall was born at
O’Neill, Nebraska. Dr. Madelein
Doyle and Miss Marguerita Doyle of
this city came from the same town
and were schoolmates of Miss Hall.
They tell me that Georgie was a very
talented and a very pretty girl, a
leader in all school affairs and a girl
with many “beaux.” In other words,
one of those girls who are popular be
cause they deserve to be. Later Miss
Hall removed with the family to Lin
coln, Nebraska, where her father was
chief of police. She began looking to
the stage early. From Lincoln Miss
Hall went to New York. Her first
considerable engagement was, we be
lieve, in “The Hotentot.” In “Rain,”
we are told, she has one of those roles
that actors love, a part that “plays it
self,” so “fat” that anyone with talent
must make a hit in it.

^Z^ Coronado
b JKc Land of Qitrvera
IIGHTY years before the Pilgrims set foot on the snow
bound shores of Massachusetts, white men trod the rich
prairies of Nebraska.
In the spring of 1540 Coronado set forth from Mexico to ex
plore the vast unknown region to the north. By July, 1541, he
reached the Platte country and spent twenty-five days in “The
Land of Quivera”—Nebraska.
The fertility of her soil, her climate, her fruits and inhabitants
were noted. But three centuries rolled around before the white
man claimed this rich domain for his own.
Blood and toil, hardships and privations, difficulties and dangers
that only the most heroic courage and strength could endure and
overcome, form the glorious heritage and the brave traditions of
Nebraska.
The pioneer spirit transformed endless buffalo plains into smil
ing farms and rich cities—into a well-peopled but uncrowded
empire of peace, progress and prosperity.
In growth and sound development, no state leads Nebraska.
She has steadily advanced, making new records in agricultural
wealth and manufactures, in educational facilities and public
works. Last year the value of agricultural and live stock products
for each resident of Nebraska was approximately $400, while for
the United States it was $125.
Nebraska is also great industrially. The last U. S. Census proved
that the value of her manufactured products exceeds that of her
field crops. Apply what measure or test you please, Nebraska is
a land of promise, opportunity and achievement.
In its own field, the Standard Oil Company of Nebraska knows
the satisfaction of pioneer accomplishment. A strictly Nebraska
company with complete direction of the company’s destinies and
operations in the hands of executives who are residents of the
state, its aim and effort have been to develop and maintain an
adequate and convenient service—to keep step with the require
ments of both communities and individuals.
