When You and I Were Young —

Frenzy Accompanies Word
of Land Office Transfer
60 Years Ago
April 2. 1888
Monday evening our city was
suddenly thrown into a state
of intense excitement and en
thusiasm by the announcement
that the Niobrara land office
had been ordered removed to
O’Neill. A telegram was re
cieved from Mr. Fahy from
Chicago saying that reliable
reports had reached there from
Waschington to the effect that
the office had been ordered
removed. This is what the
citizens of the town have long
and patiently waited for. They
have worked for what rightly
belonged to them and now
their labors are to be rewarded.
Justice will always come to
the deserving, and O’Neill sure
ly deserves this recognition
on the part of the government.
The glad news was the
cause of universal rejocing
and appropriate demonstra
tions, the band boys herald
ing the glad tidings through
their silver trumpets and the
glary blaze of a large bon
fire throwing light on the
subject
James Markey, the Shake
spearian elocutionist who com
pounds prescriptions at the
city drug store, was quite sick
Sunday night and Monday
morning with a severe cold. At
the present writing he is es
tirely recovered. Dear read
ers, if at any time you are
feeling gloomy or down heart
ed just drop into Morris & Co.
store and request Mr. Markey
to console you. With the elo
quence of a born minister, he
will fire a few lines of "Ham
let” or "MacBeth” at you, and
if you don’t immediately trass
form into a new being, as it
were, we must admit that your
case is a peculiar one and is
past the power of the most
expert skill.

Mary Gallagher were married

YOU Select
Beer Licensees
It is NOT the beer industry,
nor the Nebraska Committee,
United States Brewers Foun
dation, that issues the licenses
permitting beer sales in your
town.
It is YOU, and the other cit
izens of your town who do
that, with and through local
and state governing bodies.
YOU are responsible in deter
mining whether the operation
of taverns in your town is to
be good this coming year.
With license-granting time
here, it is your civic duty to
act at once in seeing that li
censes are given only to worthy
citizens.
Remember—the law provides
that the governing body which
issues licenses in your town
must be guided by the facts
presented to them.
Don’t hold back and then com
plain afterward. Act NOW!
Appear at the public hearings
to be held, or file a written
protest or criticism if you feel
one is warranted. Help us weed
out undesirables!

The Easter Monday ball,
given by the K. of P's., sur
passed all previous efforts in
the line of social entertain
ment ever attempted by them,
and many are the compliments
they have received. Everyone
who entered the hall was pre
sented with a beautiful bou
quet, tied with red, yellow and
blue ribbon — the emblematic
colors of the order — and
these, taken with the lovely
Easter dresses worn by the
ladies made a scene that would
delight the eye of an artist.
