O’NEILL BUSINESS
MEN AGREE TO
TERMS OF N.R.A.
Organization Formed and
Code Adopted at Friday
and Monday Meetings.
At the request of Mayor C. E. Stout
the business men of the city met at the
K. C. Hall last Friday evening for the
purpose of discussing the new business
code as promulgated by President
Roosevelt and to take such steps as
seemed necessary to put the code into
effect in this city.
The meeting was called to order by
Mayor Stout and he requested D. H.
Cronin to act as chairman of the meet
ing and Pete Todson as secretary. At
that time there was but one copy of
the code in the city and W. J. Ham
mond was requested by the chairman
to read the code for the benefit of the
business men present.
At the conclusion of the reading of
the code a motion was made that the
chair appoint a committee of five to
meet and promulgate rules and reg
ulations for the conduct of the various
lines of business in the city, the mem
bers of the committee to talk over the
hours of closing, etc., with the various
business men of the city. The moton
prevailed and the chairman appointed
the following as members of the com
mittee: W. J. Hammond, chairman;
Pete Todson, J. B. Mellor, R. R. Mor
rison and Mrs. F. D. McMillan. The
meeting then adjourned to meet last
Monday evening at 8:30 o’clock.
The Monday night meeting was
very largely attended and the attend
ance was 100 per cent for the support
of the President and the N. R. A.
At this meeting the committee, ap
pointed at the former meeting, made
their report and it was to the effect
that practically all the lines of busi
ness of the city had agreed to sub
scribe to the code and obey the rules
set down as to the number of hours
their stores would remain open for
business. It was then moved ana
seconded that the various lines of busi
ness would remain open the hours they
had agreed upon, and that there would
be no Sunday opening, except drug
stores, filling stations, hotels and res
taurants, which motion was adopted.
The various stores of the city will
be open, commencing Tuesday, August
1 from 8:00 A. M. to 6:00 P. M. and
from 8:00 A. M. to 9:00 P. M. on

City last Tuesday morning where he
attended a meeting of the furniture
dealers of this section and western

of their business under the program
promulgated by the president was dis
cussed. Nothing definite was agreed
upon but substantial progress was
made in the perfection of the code for
the conduct of their business. Bobbie

Exposition at Chicago for the past
two weeks met him in Sioux City and
accompanied him home. Bobbie had
a wonderful time on his trip and saw

Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Mathews and
Mrs. Mathew’s brother, James, left
last Saturday evening for Hot Springs,
South Dakota, being called there by
the serious illess of Mr. Mathews'

that she was much improved and that
they would probably be home the lat
ter part of the week.
The weekly Women’s Day was held
at the Country Club last Thursday
with a large crowd waiting for the
signal to tee off. They played two
ball foursomes, and after all scores
had been turned in, Miss Nancy Dick
son and Miss Louise O’Donnell, as
partners, were tied with Miss Anna
O’Donnell and Miss Geraldine Cronin.
This necessitated a play-off and Miss

play-off.

went through the windshield of his
car, smashing the windshield to pieces,
but Mr. Whaley very luckily escaped
with only a small cut on one of his
hands. Mr. Whaley says that he was
traveling about fifty miles per hour
when it happened and he considers
himself lucky that he escaped without
more serious injury.
The petition to the city council, cir
culated and quite liberly signed, last
week, was filed with the city clerk at
9:30 on August 1st. The city council
met that evening, but only routine
business was performed. Among the
ordinances passed was one providing
for the sale of 3.2 beer in the city. As
the law does not go into effect until
midnight of August 9th the city coun
cil took no action upon the applica
tions for beer licenses or the protests
filed against them. After the law be
comes effective the council will hold
a meeting when the matter of grant
ing beer licenses will be taken up and
also the protest that has been filed
against the licensing of beer parlors.
This meeting will probably not be held
untii next Thursday, August 10th.

has been engaged in the real estate
business for the past two years and
has a good sized list of O Neill rental
property under his direction, as well
as a large number of farms through

a little real estate business during the
next few years and the new firm ex
pect to secure a part of the coming
business.

Mrs. Garrett Janzing died at her
home northwest of this city last Sat
urday afternoon at 1:10, after an ill

the age of 58 years, seven months and
one day.
Mary Schoenle was born at Brook
lyn, N.Y., on December 30, 1874. When
she was a young girl her parents
moved to Iowa, where she grew to
womanhood. On June 4, 1912, she
was united in marriage to Garrett
Janzing, at Omaha, and came to Holt
county with her husband and made
her home on the farm northwest of
this city, since that time, except for a
few years when Mr. Janzing was en
gaged in business at Emmet.
Mrs. Janzing had been in poor health
for several months. Last spring her
husband accompanied her to Rochester,
Minn., where she was placed under the
care of the experts at the Clinic there.
For a couple of weeks she appeared to
feel better, then gradually began to
sink and the physicians there notified
her husband that there was no hope
for her recovery, and she was brought
back home to spend her declining days
among her loved ones.
Her husband and three stepchildren,
two daughters and one son, are left
to mourn the passing of a kind, loving
and devoted wife and mother.
Mrs. Janzing was a very pleasant
and agreeable woman and had a host
of friends in Emmet and vicinity,
where she was well known to every
resident and generally loved and ad
mired by all for her agreeable and
plasing personality and charming
manners, and she will be sorely missed
by a large circle of friends.
The funeral was held at the Cath
olic church at Emmet last Monday
morning at 9:30, Rev. M. F. Bryne
offciating, and burial in Calvary cem
etary in this city. The funeral was
very largely attended, attesting to the
esteem in which the deceased was held
by the people of this section of the
county. The Frontier joins the many
friends of the family in tendering its
sympathy to the sorrowing relatives
! and friends.

COUNTY DRENCHED
TUESDAY NIGHT BY
HEAVY DOWNPOUR
Heavy Rains Fall, With A
Total of Six Inches Re
ported At Emmet.
After three days of torrid, swelter
ing heat and one fairly cool day, a
drenching rain visited this section of
the state last Tuesday evening, bring
ing joy to the hearts of all the resid
ents of this section of the state and
life to many partly parched corn fields.
The rainfall in this city, as measured
by Weather Observer Bowen, amounted
to 3.28 inches, the heaviest rain that
has fallen here for several years.
At Atkinson the rainfall amounted
to 2.27 inches and about 1.50 inches at
Stuart. At Emmet the rainfall was
measured at G inches; north of
this city, in the vicinity of Tom Don
ohoe’s the rainfall is said to have
equaled 6 inches, if not more. Part of
the highway was washed out on the
east side of his place and a gang of
men were busy getting it in shape for
travel yesterday and last evening.
In the Joy neighborhood the rain
fall amount to 6^ inches; in fact old
residents of that section of the county
say it was the heviest rainfall in that
section of the county for over twenty
years. It is said that out in this sec
tion of the county, some hay stacks
that were on the bottoms, were washed
away by the flood.
Ray Lienhart was up from Cham
bers Wednesday and he said the had 2
inches of rain at his place last Monday
evening and four inches on Tuesday
evening and that everything was fine
in that section of the county. The
entire southern part of the county had
a rainfall in excess of three inches.
James Carney was down from Em
met last Wednesday morning. Jim is
quite a kidder and, in discussing the
rain, he said “it was tough on the
little nubbins.” “Why?” asked a busi
ness man who was feeling very happy
over the rain. “It will make big ears
out of them,” said Jim. Rain fell so
heavy near Emmet that the highway
was covered with water, about a mile
west of Emmet. It was a great rain
and it could not have come at a more
opportune time for the corn crop in
this section of the state.
Last Friday the thremometer regis
tered 102; Saturday it climbed to 107,
one of the hottest days for years and
there was a hot wind blowing, that
would not have taken very long to
put the corn crop past redemption.
Sunday it registered 104 and Monday
it was cool most of the day and then
the deluge Tuesday evening. It has
been fairly cool since and from pre
sent indications w'e will have more
moisture before the weather clears up.
Mrs. Lewis Chapman received word
this morning that her daughter, and
her husband, Mr. and Mrs. C. V. Ulb
rick, and Mr. Ulbrick’s mother, were
in a serious auto accident near Los
Angeles last Monday. The senior Mrs.
Ulbrick was seriously injured, while
Mr. and Mrs. Ulbrick were both badly
bruised and cut, but no serious injury
will result therefrom. The accident
resulted from another car getting out
of the control of the driver and crash
ing into the car driven by Mr. Ulbrick
causing it to upset and roll over a
couple of times. Both of the cars were
badly damaged.
D. H. Cronin drove down to Nebras
ka City last Saturday morning, re
turning Monday afternoon and bring
ing back Mrs. Cronin and Marjorie
and Richard, who had been visiting
relatives there for the past eight
weeks. There is a splendid corn crop
all over the eastern part of the state,
as we observed on our trip, but in most
of the localities the crop is in need of
a good soaker. Later—Most of the
corn fields received the soaker Tues
day night.
Last Friday, July 28th, the O’Neill
Country Club Kitten Ball team played
the O'Neill Town team, the Country
Club boys winning by a score of 9
