The Hoover digs up the pota toes and piles them in neat rows where they can be handled wi1 h minimum labor. The shovel is of best quality high-carbon crucible steel and shaped so as to gather the pota toes with the least possible loss. No danger of cutting the potatoes to the extent that a p»ow or hoe does. Stone guards can be used in stony ground. The vine-separating rear rack sifts out all dirt and deposits the potatoes in a compact rev/ on clean ground directly at the «*"\r of the machine, while the vines and trash are deposited at me side. Roller bearings and wide tires on the wheels assure light draft. Double-Action or Single-Roller Front Truck permits the digger to be turned in a very short space. Solid steel frame, strong main sides of Bessemer steel, beams of best quality charcoal malleable castings, and steel chains and hardened steel sprockets that greatly resist wear. Don’t fail to see the Hoover Potato Digger before you harvest your potato crop; its use means greater profits. Also ask us about Hoover Engine Drive Potato Dig gers—two-hoiise machines under a1! conditions, and any other po taio tools you require. Mr. and Mrs. W. H.

SHERIFF DUFFY’S SEDAN COLLIDED WITH A FORD The Oldsmobilc sedan driven by Peter W. Duffy collided with a Ford driven by J. E.

Mr. Duffy was alone in his car while the other car was occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Dean and their children. No one was in jured beyond a few bruises and scratches. Both cars were considerably dam aged. A committee of three were chosen from the bystanders who gathered soon after the accident, who decided that a fair way to settle the responsibility for the damages was for each to stand his own expense of re pairs, which Mr. Dean and Mr. Duffy agreed to do. 1 O'NEILL TRAP SHOOTERS BRING HOME THE BACON R.

LIGHTNING KILLS TEAM OWNER NARROWLY ESCAPES (Stuart Advocate) John Hamik, living six miles east of Stuart had a narrow escape from death about eight o’clock Wednesday morning when his barn was struck by lightning, which killed a valuable team of work horses which he had just harnessed in preparation for the day’s w'ork. The stroke came just as Mr. Hamik stepped from the bard door and had walked perhaps fifteen feet away from the building. He and his little ten-year-old son Leo,and his nephew Joe Schneider, who w’ere with him were all badly stunned by the shock, but were not rendered unconscious. The rafters and other parts of the barn were badly shattered and splin tered by the lightning, but fortun ately did not take fire. After strik ing the barn, the lightning followed a wire fence to a steel water tank where it spent its force, after melting galvanizing from a small part of the tank. It was a miraculous escape for Mr. Hamik and the boys but he is now looking for another good team to complete his haying operations. MRS. JOHN SULLIVAN. A pall of gloom spread over this vicinity Wednesday evening when it became known that Mrs. Sullivan, | wife of Supervisor John Sullivan, re siding a short distance southeast of this city was found dead in her kitchen about seven o’clock that even ing. She had evidently been ironing when death came upon her; the iron lay upon the floor and the handle was some distance away which would indi cate that she had been using the iron which was almost cold when found. The iron had burned a hole in the linoleum where it lay upon the floor. The first to learn of her death was her son, Tom, who returned home from the day’s work on the state truck, which was about seven o’clock in the evening; he at once called Dr. Gilligan, who found that she had been dead for some time. Rose Ann Smith was born in New Haven, Conn., November 24, 1873. She came to Holt county with her parents, in May, 1870, who located for a short time in O’Neill, later residing four miles southeast of Atkinson. She taught school in the vicinity of O’Neill and Atkinson for several years. She was united in marriage to John Sullivan on May 31, 1899, at Atkin son, Nebraska; they came at once to the farm home of Mr. Sullivan two miles east and one mile south of O’Neill where they have since resided. Five children were born to this union; they are: Mrs. Loretta Hynes, of Maple Grove; Dan J., Thomas J., Harry F., Margaret M., John, Jr., and Francis M. Besides her immediate family the deceased leaves three sisters, Mrs. Nicholas O’Connell, Atkinson; Mrs. Thomas Grady, Norfolk: Mrs. Anna i Campbell, Thermopolis, Wyoming, all of whom are expected to be present at the funeral services. Mrs. Sullivan was a woman that will be missed by her family and by all the large circle of friends and neigh bors; she was a hard working woman i and took a great pride in rearing her 1 children to become men and women I that would be a credit to her, and in this she did not fail. Funeral services will be held from St.. Patrick’s church Friday morning j at nine o’clock. Burial will be made I in Calvary cemetery. I EDUCATIONAL NOTES. I understand that there are two salesmen canvassing the county who are carrying what purports to be a recommendation of their goods writ ten and signed by me. While I have endorsed some publications, I have never given a written recommenda tion to any agent whatever and fur thermore do not intend to do so. Arty one calling on you and presenting a written recommendation from me has obtained such recommendation falsely and is not worthy of any consideration (Continued on page 8.) FKITTON-MURPHY.
